TopMoney it would be good to have a greater understanding of the service contracts and what/if any that we currently have. I'm unsure if we receive a fee on maintenance for systems that we have built as it may be included in the initial contract when building the plants.
Regarding the Brazilian patent, it was published 14th April (see link). I believe it now goes through a process of Search and Examination before the patent is issued. The patent is currently going through this process in China for the same patent.

I believe for the 2nd generation tech it is still in R&D and they are looking to initiate a pilot scheme which should take 18 months. This process definitely needs to be communicated to us, the development of such tech will solidify our strong market position and also provide another string to our bow.
It would be very interesting to hear about the Russian, Canadian, Thailand, Myanmar and Hungarian projects. ROW contracts make such a small percentage of our revenue, I wonder why we haven't expanded more into these jurisdictions. I would really like to see some geographic diversification to our revenue.
I hope that a dividend is issued, we have alot of cash after the past few years being profitable. However, I noticed that on the balance sheet around £12 million is labelled as Capital Reserve. "Sums allocated to a capital reserve are permanently invested and cannot be used to pay dividends to shareholders. They are earmarked for specific purposes, such as long-term projects, mitigating capital losses, or any other long-term contingencies." I believe these funds and the money raised on listing, will be used to allow us to fund the taking on of larger projects so I don't think we will see a dividend payment.
I hope the results on Tuesday provide us a greater insight to current and future operations, not just financials. If we get a lack luster report on Tuesday I will definitely be getting in contact with the BOD, this is a really promising company. However, currently shareholders are being kept in the dark which has been reflected by the SP.
