Hi daramuda. I understand the angle you are coming from. Have you taken up those concerns and observations with David Wither direct for his opinion as there is much interest in that the boards of corporate entities engage more with the members and this is actively being encouraged by the regulators, but it needs shareholders to be more pro-active. I do have dialogue with Mr Wither and those Emails are private and the sensitivities, security, and secrecy of its clients and customers, All of your concerns have been addressed in regulatory news output over a period of time particularly with addressing volume sales. Yes there are shortcomings in any growth story but my opinion is that SLG is well worth persevering with and I believe that the business model is on track despite the macro economic restraints and the lack of understanding by the market et al. Mr Wither's remuneration package is between him and the remuneration committee as endorsed by the shareholders. The Company is an open book and has kept the market well aware of its successes and its shortcomings. Debt or Equity finance raising is what corporate public listed entities are in business for and that is the major perk of being listed and board members get rewarded for their efforts in running the business model side of things for the Company as a whole and hopefully increase shareholder value. I am patient investor and can afford to play the waiting game! But always mindful of shifting corporate fortunes.

Hi daramuda. No company ever comes to the market too early or too late as the FSA rules on all listings dictate whether or not a non listed co is fit and proper for listing status. Every company that becomes listed does so for access to funding and that continues throughout their listed life term as that is the sole purpose. Timing of listing is a decision taken by the company and its corporate advisers. Some companies would, if they could, turn the clock back and change the timetable of their listing, many prospective listings are pulled at the 11th hour when markets move against the listing so many directors will, with hindsight, speak of listing timing issues, one only has to speak to Richard Branson for one who wished he never got involved with the stock market listing as it proved an unmitigated disaster for the Virgin listed brand.

Hi daramuda Somethings got your "toshing" goat here with SLG. Company is confident and so sure that it can deliver up profitability and shareholder value up side proactive investors waxing lyrical on good fortune here, so something seems skew wiff in your eyes are you suggesting that the patents have no merit? Are you suggesting that the US military have and are continuing to make a big mistake in continuing to use SLG's antenae. P&L and BS holding up well in troubled times.My opinion is that it is worth beleiving the Corporate output regarding future rising turnover or is there something intrinsically wrong with the business model?

The World is still in the grip of the worst depression in living memory where banks have been brought to their knees and some bankcrupted, housing market dessimated and Corporate Companies strapped for cash and in a sceptical market place, but consumerism will outpace and circumvent them all as many consumers are cash rich and are willing to play the "keep up with the Jones's" game. SLG is in a niche sector where the barriers to entry are high and with its patented designs has, what I consider to be, a stranglehold on the market and has the first port of call product itinery for the hand held communications and GPS positioning devices industry. But what do I know the market and a risk averse cautious "city", for the time being, will be the decisive force behind Corporate successes or failures!

Hi daramuda. I take it you are not at all happy with your investment decision here! What have I been saying for over a year? I have been footprinting a lot longer than 12 months. http://www.lse.co.uk/general-chat-discussion.asp?page=6&TopCode=JQ3JQ1NR#50092 Have a moan at the Board and at the AGM if you have issues with Salaries and remuneration packages. The Company appears able and willing to fund the packages!. I,m just a messenger of Corporate news and offer up my opinion that's all remuneration packages are out of my control.

Early session saw the sp marked down 22% but soon rallied up 1.63% but will move neutral by session open. What is for sure is that the Market Makers are twitchy on this stock and the "city" has yet to fathom the business model out. But my opinion is to take positions ahead of some good corporate news.

Hi daramuda. The members who were at the AGM obviously decided the Directors were worth it. No one calling for EGM to vote them out of office. Nice work when you can get it!

So far no offer has been tabled, but the Company has complied with its obligations by informing the Market of any information within the sphere of their operations that might have an impact on the share price. So far as we know only discussions with the Directors with potential bidders is taking place, no offer has been tabled. Any prospective offer would have to go some way to persuading the near 46% substantial holdings. The Directors will be mindfull of acting in the best interest of the Employees and Shareholders. With the "interest" shown I would imagine the Directors will know that they have a good company for sale and will no doubt be negotiating the best deal for all. There are no guarantees of any offer forthcoming, but Mr PG is a very shrewd, and astute Icelandic Corporate raider! Very rarely does he turn his back on a good investment.

Yes any prospective offer should be a massive premium to the current share price. The Board is obviously mindfull of the listing requirements that Accounts have to be published soon or have the shares suspended, so time is of the essence in publishing the Accounts. If a recommended offer is forthcoming, it would have to be a pretty good offer to wood substantial shareholders, if not we could end up with a hostile takeover situation with competing bidders slugging it out.

Concensus shows that turnover for the current year is forecast at £31Mns with an estimated profit of £.71Mns being an Earnings Per Share ("EPS") of .40p and a Price Earnings ("PE") of some 20.3. So the December 2011 Accounts should be somewhere just below these forecast numbers. With those figures the share price, in my opinion, should be trading nearer to 16.5p/share. Any prospective bid has to be somewhat better than that, surely !

A Board full of Professionals with links in other listed Companies. Plenty of cross over holdings. Acquisitions is the name of the game. http://www.reuters.com/finance/stocks/companyOfficers?symbol=WSTS.L&WTmodLOC=C4-Officers-5

Recent sessions have seen the share price swing about a tad and with unusually high shares trades, suggests that some market information is circulating regarding some future share price upside. On the back of that and good Corporate positive newsflow could be a tad wise decision to go with the market for now.
