iddler. Yes I totally agree with the analogy. However, the difference between the two situations is that Vphase's funding objective is well advanced, allegedly, so I am sure Vphase is worth a ganble at these levels, it has often been alleged that AIM is a "casino" so let's gamble!

Announces that it is in the advanced stages of raising equity capital through a non pre-emptive placing of ordinary shares of 0.25p in the Company for cash (the "Placing"). Whilst the Company fully expects the Placing to be successful, in the event that it is not successful, the Company is unlikely to have sufficient funds for its present purposes and the directors will have to consider all options, which may result in little or no value for shareholders of the Company. Further to the Company's preliminary results announcement dated 25 March 2013, and in line with recent reports in the press, there has been a noticeable slowdown in the demand for energy efficiency products as customers come to terms with the Green Deal and how it impacts them. This has had a short term impact on the Group's performance in the first five months and full year expectations are currently being reviewed. My opinion is this has to be worth a gamble based on the fact that the Co has no deterioration in tradeing but has a cash flow problem. If it raises the heavily discountedequity then the share price will rebound.

Interim Results for the six month period ended 31 March 2013. Commenting on the results, Chairman, Christopher Winn, said: "Results for the six month trading period to 31 March 2013 show further improvements in revenues and operating profits.

Highlights - Operational § Continued strong cash generation with net cash balance of £4.50m at period end, representing more than 10p per share. § Good trading momentum; order book of £1.59m at period end and growing. § Gross margins further improved to 87.9% (2012: 84.3%) reflecting delivery of more proprietary software and other 'owned' services. § Pre-contracted recurring revenues from continuing operations grew to £3.96m (2012: £3.80m) accounting for approximately 62% of total revenues. § 20% increase in multi-channel retail division operating profit to £0.61m (2012: £0.50m); projects during period for Aspinal of London, JoJo Maman Bébé and Axminster Tool Centre with two new customers gained. § Manufacturing division maintained operating profit performance at £0.30m (2012: £0.29m); projects during the period for Brookfarm, Anstey Wallpaper and Proctor Paper & Board. § Further £0.25m investment in sales and marketing capability. § Continued investment in proprietary solutions using mobile technologies generating high levels of interest and development activity. On current trading and prospects, Mr Winn, added: "The Board is very mindful of the relatively low levels of business confidence and of continuing challenging trading conditions within the UK and so continues to adopt a very cautious approach. The strong balance sheet and robust business model, coupled with a growing range of products, services and solutions and an improving order book, provide the Sanderson Board and management with a good level of confidence of achieving market expectations for the current year to 30 September 2013".

$10m Investment by IFC, a member of World Bank Group Investment by the world's largest private sector development institution to expand Earthport's global cross-border payments service infrastructure and drive financial inclusion in developing nations Earthport (AIM: EPO), the cross-border payments service provider, is pleased to today announce that IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, has agreed to subscribe for $10 million in new ordinary shares ("Subscription"). These funds will be used to expand Earthport's presence and payments service infrastructure, particularly in developing countries. Through this investment, Earthport also becomes part of IFC's extensive network which includes over 900 financial institutions, providing Earthport with access to potential partners and clients in key geographies. Earthport's innovative, entirely electronic, account-to-account cross border payments service facilitates a more transparent, lower cost payments infrastructure, suitable both for remittance and low value trade payments. Earthport's service is supported by strong compliance processes, controls and a risk based analysis of clients. Through integration with Earthport's services, banking and money transfer organisations are able to offer an increased range of international payment products to their customers. The more widespread expansion of Earthport's payments service into developing countries is expected to have three key benefits: it will greatly streamline and simplify making cross-border remittances, making them more efficient and cost effective; it will improve international trading opportunities for SMEs in developing nations by removing the barriers that high costs and delays for traditional international payments create; and increase financial inclusion in developing nations. In many developing nations, the annual level of international remittance from citizens working abroad can be between 7% and 35% of the nation's Gross Domestic Product. Much of this continues to be carried out via traditional methods, which can be both costly and cumbersome. "Earthport's technology cuts the costs and delays of international money transfers, facilitating trade for SMEs and remittances for migrant workers - key priorities for IFC in helping people in developing countries improve their lives" said Vincent Gouarne, IFC Director for Infrastructure. "We look forward to partnering with Earthport in this next stage of growth to further spread their reach in emerging markets." Hank Uberoi, Executive Director of Earthport plc, commented, "This significant investment by the IFC represents a strong endorsement of our leading and innovative cross-border payments service. In addition to expanding our presence in emerging markets, Earthport will also become part of the IFC's extensive network of financial institutions globally. "We are very proud to be affiliated wit

MTV. Digiturk begins rollout of Motive's Television Anytime Anywhere technology among base of 2.5 million subscribers London 29 May 2013: Motive Television ("Motive" or "Company") announces that it has been informed by Digiturk, the largest satellite broadcaster in Turkey with over 2.5 million subscribers, that it has begun providing set-top boxes which include Motive's Television Anytime Anywhere technology to consumers on a commercial basis. Although the Company cannot predict the eventual number of Digiturk subscribers who may receive the Company's technology in the next 2-3 years, the Company conservatively estimates that at least 100,000 of Digiturk's subscribers will receive set-top boxes with Motive's technology. Based on a recent report of the distribution of set-top boxes during the soft launch in the second half of 2012, Motive has issued its first invoice for licence fees. Licence fee royalties are payable twice yearly based on the number of set-top boxes enabled with Motive technology over the respective six-month period and are expected to represent a significant continuing income stream that will accrue monthly for Motive. Specific terms of the agreement including the number of set-top boxes produced and the unit licence fees are not being disclosed. Leonard M Fertig, CEO of Motive commented, "The commercial deployment by Digiturk of services that use Motive's technology is an important milestone for our Company, marking the second major client (joining Mediaset in Italy) using Television Anytime Anywhere in a broad commercial use. Digiturk is the first user of Motive's patented Television Anytime Anywhere software by a satellite broadcaster (DTH) and paves the way for implementation by other operators in the satellite pay television industry, particularly in the emerging markets of Eastern Europe, Middle East, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Digiturk is respected as a technology leader and its selection of Motive's technology platform signals a vote of confidence to the Company and its unique software based advanced content solutions by the satellite pay-tv industry."

SXX. Are pleased to announce that it has entered into a number of agreements with fertilizer distributors and manufacturers operating in the UK and Central Europe covering the future sales of Polyhalite from the York Potash Project. The agreements are framework sales agreements ("FSA") and set out volume commitments and a basis for cooperation between the parties, in relation to entering into formal sales contracts closer to the time of first production - as is the fertilizer industry standard. The volume committed to in the FSAs signed to date amounts to 310,000 tonnes per annum including 60,000 tonnes mainly targeted for sales in the UK. The agreements are with established fertilizer manufacturers and distributors, rather than trading businesses and will remain confidential at this time. The pricing structure is to be agreed at the time of entering into the formal sales contract based on market conditions at the time. These FSAs are in addition to the marketing agreement entered into with KEYTRADE AG for up to 1.75 million tonnes per annum. The markets covered by these agreements represent only a small percentage of the total European fertilizer market and highlight the opportunity for further sales across the UK and Europe. In addition to the above, discussions for polyhalite supply agreements in various forms remain ongoing with a range of customers including major distributors and fertilizer blenders around the world. While these discussions are at various stages and are confidential, should they reach a successful conclusion the total implied demand from these discussions including the tonnes allocated to the KEYTRADE markets would exceed the initial production target of 5mtpa from the York Potash Project. Chris Fraser, Managing Director and CEO of Sirius, commented: "This further customer endorsement of the market for polyhalite is just the beginning but demonstrates a clear need and market for this sustainable multi-nutrient form of potash. Customers both here in the UK and around the world are seeing significant agronomic value in our products and are encouraging us to reach production as fast as possible."

You know what! There is always a Corporate sting in the tail. If SLG's antennae are so wonderful and a godsend to global positioning devices and smaller and more accurate than anything on the market for the njext generation of devices allegedly then why aren't the Chinese, Japanese and other Far Eastern manufacturers queing up and falling over themselves to buy the proprty rights and stock at fire sale prices. Simple they just do not suit cost conscious mass market production and it is SLG's baby! Unfortunately the baby never grew into full potential too much emphasis was placed on the ever contracting military customer base particularly the U S of A and SLG fell victim to an ever increasing secular market.

Yes the shares are currently worthless as no-one will buy in the current air of uncertainty so for all intents and purposes there is no realistic market in the shares so they may as be suspended now and save the commedy act from continuing.

On 26 March 2013 the Board of Sarantel ("Board") announced that following discussions with certain of its existing institutional and other shareholders, who had indicated their strong interest in continuing to support the Company, the Company intended to raise up to £4.75 million by way of an equity issue as soon as practicable in order to enable the Company to invest in the growth of its consumer market sales and provide it with the working capital required. Since the end of March 2013 the Board has had extensive discussions with prospective investors and while the Company has received strong expressions of interest from a number of existing and potential new shareholders, the Board concluded that the amount of funding that the Company could secure at this time would fall substantially short of the quantum required. Accordingly, the Board determined that a sale of the operating business would be in the best interests of Shareholders and is pursuing this option with the intention of concluding a transaction as soon as possible. The Group's current working capital will be exhausted during the first half of June 2013, and in the event that a Disposal does not proceed, the Directors would need to consider placing the Company into administration and/or seeking a suspension in the Company's shares until such time as the Company's financial position could be clarified.

Earthport rolls out fully automated payment service into Morocco to meet the growing demand for cost efficient, low-value payments in the region Earthport , the cross-border payments service provider, today announced a fully automated payment service into Morocco is now live. The route is the first low value payment service for Earthport in North Africa and will enable the Company to expand its network infrastructure into the region. With more than three million people in the diaspora, Morocco is one of the top remittance receive countries on the African continent and the second largest remittance country in North Africa with an estimated $6.4 billion worth of payments received in 2010. The expansion into Morocco comes in response to the growing demand for low-cost payments into the region. The payment route will enable Earthport's clients to quickly launch new payments services into the country and deliver faster, more cost efficient and more transparent remittance transfers through Earthport's local clearing capabilities. Hank Uberoi, Executive Director of Earthport plc, commented, "Morocco is a key remittance market in North Africa and an important addition to our global network of countries with local clearing capabilities. "Earthport's specialist role in cross-border payments, means our clients reap the benefits of our country-specific regulatory understanding, local payment data framework and system connectivity standards, enabling them to launch new payment services quickly and cost effectively. In April, we announced the expansion into India, and we look forward to announcing further expansion in due course."

developing its Tablet Television technology to enable Freeview users in Britain to watch and record television programmes directly onto tablets - without the need to connect to the internet. This represents a strategic entry for the Company into the UK market. With Motive's app and an antenna-tuner containing Motive's technology, tablet users will be able to watch all the programming currently available on the Freeview platform. Motive plans to license its technology to third party consumer electronics companies who will make the antenna-tuners widely available. Tablet TV lets the user watch any broadcast TV channel anywhere, without needing a hotspot or fast Internet signal. Like Freeview to the home, there are no subscriptions needed and no interruptions due to buffering or network congestion. Further, with Motive's built in Tablet PVR, viewers can record any programmes and watch them later when they want, where they want for their own private use. Video viewing on tablets is rapidly increasing, with recent figures from the BBC showing that tablets have moved ahead of smartphones for its catch-up iPlayer service with 41 million requests in March 2013. According to recent predictions from CCS Insight, 1 billion tablets will be in use worldwide by 2017, and according to research firm Gartner sales of tablets are expected to grow 70% to about 200 million this year. Searching for content on tablets over the internet is currently a fragmented experience, using a variety of internet based (or OTT) services, such as iPlayer, ITV player etc. There is an increasing opportunity to provide easy-to-use live TV on tablets using the existing broadcast distribution network. Based on discussions underway with Freeview, Motive expects that its Freeview-compatible Tablet TV will: - receive all the Freeview channels available in the broadcast area; - offer a full 7-day 24 hour EPG with the Freeview look and feel; - have the ability to record directly onto the tablet (DVR); - enable features such as series recording; - optionally have social media integration (with an internet connection) Motive will seek approval for Tablet TV from the Digital Television Group and be D-Book compliant ("DTG", which publishes and maintains the technical specifications for Freeview in the UK), as well as Freeview branding for its new product. Motive expects to demonstrate Tablet TV for Freeview later this year. Leonard M Fertig, CEO of Motive commented, "Motive's experience in developing Tablet TV for the United States makes the extension to the highly successful Freeview platform to tablets in the UK a natural next step. We look forward to working with Freeview and its partners to complete the development of Tablet TV for the UK so tablet owners can enjoy Freeview whenever and wherever they want." Motive Television PLC is also pleased to
