brokerage KBC Peel Hunt, which reiterates its 'buy' rating on the stock, says given the recent trading history of the company, it suspects that shareholders may leap to accept this potential offer. http://www.lse.co.uk/FinanceNews.asp?shareprice=&ArticleCode=7jyfsrnuhr1in41&ArticleHeadline=GlanceSTOCKS_NEWS_EUROPEInnovation_soars_on_approach

a winning bid would likely be around 25 pence per share, Panmure Gordon & Co analyst George O'Connor told Reuters. Panmure's O'Connor, who upgraded the stock to 'buy' from 'hold', said the fresh bid might encourage Innovation to double its efforts to unlock its value. Analyst Simon Strong of KBC Peel Hunt said: 'This approach could easily flush out another bidder for the company.' Innovation's current management is more 'pragmatic' to offers, while the prior chairman was an 'obstacle' to any bid for the company, Strong said. 'We believe it is no coincidence that this offer materialises so quickly after the departure of the old chairman,' KBC's Strong said. Strong reiterated his 'buy' rating on the stock and said a price 'north of 15 pence could easily be achieved'. Article also mentions following 'The upside from a potential takeover is counterbalanced by the risk of the litigation from AllState Canada, which is suing Innovation in relation to the design, development, and implementation of customised software,' Singer Capital Markets Tintin Stormont said in a research note. You might assume that Carlyle/bidders have factored potential outcomes of this litigation into their offer/offers. Analysts will also have factored it in and therefore expect upwards of 15p. Note also the following comment Innovation's current management is more 'pragmatic' to offers, while the prior chairman was an 'obstacle' to any bid for the company, Strong said

Caledon Resources, the Australian coalminer that revealed a bid approach three weeks ago, rose 6p to 32p amid talk that two suitors – an Indian company, possibly a steelmaker, and an American investment house – were competing to make an offer to meet a deadline in three weeks. The takeout price is expected to be between 50p and 60p. Thanks for your post earlier : Any idea why the bidders have to meet a 3 week deadline.

Where else could 1 trade of £240 wipe £440,000 off the value of a company. That's rhetorical btw.

Pure's day is coming no apologies for posting old info http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/article-1102862/MARKET-REPORT-Sweet-hopes-sugar-substitute.html 30th December 2008 Earlier in the year, PureCircle announced contract extensions with Cargill and major new contracts with PepsiCo and Whole Earth Sweetener Company for the supply of Reb A worldwide. Analysts had previously forecast that on FDA approval, the shares could be worth north of £4 a share. way way north !

They spent all day knocking it down just for one big buy - now i ask you is that fair play. Where are the stock exchange in all of this who audits these MM's this is a shocker.

Aspartame actually can diabetes, keeping blood sugar out of control, and it can cause diabetics to go into convulsion. It ruins the optic nerve. The worst thing a diabetic can crave is carbohydrates, which would lead to more sugar imbalances, and Aspartame makes people crave those. Dr. H.J. Roberts, a specialist in diabetes and Aspartame, showed in his studies a shocking weight gain by people who use it. He described this is his Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic. Dr. Roberts showed many diabetics who had their blood sugar levels thrown out of whack by Aspartame. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/33422/diabetes_and_stevia.html

Sorry Norbert i should know better and shall chastise myself accordingly. re diabetes Diabetes can be aided greatly by using Stevia as a sweetener. While sugar raises blood sugar levels, playing havoc with insulin levels, many diabetics have found how hard it can be to avoid the sweet taste altogether. And taking Aspartame actually causes more craving for sugars. All the artificial sweeters on the market have dire health consequences, but Stevia has no side effects, and actually lowers the blood sugar when it is too high. Stevia has been used as a treatment for diabetes in Germany and Japan. 500 studies have been done showing its safety. It is only the politics of the sugar and artificial sweetener industry that keeps us from being able to buy foods with Stevia as the sweetener. But it is available in powdered and liquid form and can be used in the home very easily. Stevia has been used for centuries in South America, and for twenty years in Japan, Korea, and China. It is 4-50 percent of Japan's sweetener market. It is a perennial shrub native to Paraguay. In Latin America, Stevia is used as therapy for diabetes, as it normalizes the response to glucose, especially in type two. Diabetes tends to be accompanied by high blood pressure and edema, and slow healing wounds, and Stevia has been shown to help all these symptoms. It affects calcium transport similarly to calcium channel blockers. It has a diuretic effect, and antiseptic properties.

I think the market is struggling to understand PURE because they are creating a new product that can be used in so many ways. I think the tie up with Cerilliant is hugely important as it will give manufacturers who currently use chemical sweeteners the GUARANTEE that switching to Reb A is OK it will be safe, and of a consistent high quality [as Pure refine it themselves]e. As more and more manufacturers pile on board this will become a must have share. It you have yet to research this company i urge you to do so. Lets face it if you find something dodgy you won't invest. But i believe once you have seen the kind of synergistic qualities that the main shareholders bring to the company begun to factor in contracts with the like of Cargill & therefore Coca Cola, Pepsi etc etc you will find it hard to find a reason not to invest. All that glitters is not gold sometimes its a new company called PURECIRCLE

Good to see the US taking note DJ PureCircle 1H Revenue, Pft Up Ahead Of 2H Production Surge Last update: 3:57 a.m. EST March 4, 2009 LONDON, Mar 04, 2009 (Dow Jones Commodities News via Comtex) -- Sweeteners maker PureCircle Ltd. (PURE.LN) Wednesday reported a rise in first-half revenue and profit as more big companies such as PepsiCo. Inc. (PEP) and Coca-Cola Co. (KO) start using its products, and said it is poised for a sharp uplift in sales by the year-end as production surges seven-fold. PureCircle's calorie-free, plant-derived sweeteners are used in drinks including PepsiCo's Sobe Lifewater and Tropicana juices, and Coke's Sprite Green. It said revenue in the six months ended Dec. 31, 2008, increased to $21.6 million from $14.5 million a year earlier. Pretax profit advanced to $2 million from $1.2 million. Finance Director William Mitchell told Dow Jones Newswires PureCircle's revenue for the six months was based on sales of 95 metric tons of its Reb A sweetener. The company grows the stevia plants it is made from at its own plantations, extracts the ingredients at its plant in China and refines it in Malaysia. Following regulatory approvals in the U.S, Australia, New Zealand and Switzerland, and in anticipation of approval in Europe by year-end, PureCircle will increase production to 700 metric tons by Dec. 31, Mitchell said. "There will be a significant scaling up of revenue," he said.
