"AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS DIDN’T EXIST BEFORE STAR TREK

by Melissa T. Miller

Dec 14 2022 • 2:45 PM

Star Trek‘s technological legacy is vast. Kids watching back in the ’60s grew up and invented the cool things they saw in the show. Tablets, video calls, and flip phones are all real-life gadgets inspired by Star Trek tech. Food replicators and medical tricorders are not far off. But did you know that automatic sliding doors belong on that list as well?

Those of us who were not alive yet when the original series came out may have no idea that this technology blew people away at the time. Famed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has even said it was the least realistic part of the show to him. When he watched as a kid, space travel and warp drive were believable enough. However, doors that knew when you wanted them to open seemed truly too good to be true. Let’s explore a bit about the history of those automatic doors, both in Star Trek and in real life. ..."

https://nerdist.com/article/star-trek-popularized-automatic-sliding-doors/

So Star Trek may have boosted the coming of automatic doors, in a case of 'life imitating art'.

And fittingly, there could also now be another element of that for NWT, with the film "Sliding Doors".

That classic film came out in 1998, just a year after NWT floated.

With the premise of the film being the dramatic difference that just a small variance can cause in our lives: in the film's case, involving a sliding door:-

"Sliding Doors"

Whereas in NWT's case, it is now expanding in sliding doors etc.

And investing into NWT now could potentially have a life-enhancing effect.

"There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures."

Allenby Capital's Company Note on NWT includes an excellent section on Safetell's autodoors market opportunity:-

"In Entrance Control, management identified the servicing of automatic doors as a major growth opportunity, twice the size of Safetell’s traditional markets. It added automatic doors and entrance control (speed lanes, speed gates, security portals and automatic doors) to its product and services portfolio in FY22.

Organisations have invested heavily in automatic doors over the past few years driven by numerous factors (including security, accessibility and building efficiency) for multiple applications, including shops, airports, hospitals, restaurants, office and apartment buildings. The pandemic drove demand further as automatic doors offer hands-free access to public spaces and reduce the risk of viral transmission. But organisations need to ensure that the doors are well maintained, and any problems promptly resolved. There are also some regulatory drivers.

Building owners have been subject to increased regulations around the safety of automatic doors used by the public. For example, EN 16005, in place since 2013, states that power-operated doors must be installed with safety sensors and door operators and maintenance has to be carried out by approved technicians annually. Failure to do so leaves owners potentially liable should an incident occur because a faulty door. While EN 16005 was drawn up for the EU a number of other countries have adopted it in the Middle East and Asia and in the UK it is known as BS EN 16005.

The global automatic door market was worth an estimated $18.4bn in 2021 (Source: IMARC Group) and forecast to grow to $30.1bn in 2027, representing a CAGR of 8.3%. Meanwhile a separate report estimated that the European automatic door sensor market was worth $305m in 2019 and will grow to $428m in 2027 (Source: Research and Markets). ..."

Crofton,

As far as I'm aware, there is no RTO deadline for ARA.

My understanding is that the following SPAC requirement doesn't apply to ARA, as it floated before the deadline for this requirement to apply:-

"A time limit of two years in which to complete an acquisition, which can be increased to three years if the shareholders agree."

Certainly I can see no reference to this deadline in either ARA's prospectus or articles of association, where such a requirement would certainly be mentioned if it existed.

Both of these documents can be viewed via ARA's website:-

https://aurarenewables.com/investors/

Note though that ARA's director are not being paid while ARA is a shell.

From ARA's prospectus dated 5 April 2022, re all four directors:-

" ... not entitled to a fee until the first Acquisition has been completed, at which time his subsequent entitlement to a fee will be considered by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. ..."

Unpaid directors have no incentive to spin things out to retain their salaries, but rather have a real incentive to get something done ASAP, as well as being of the highest level of integrity and professionalism.

And the story of Judges Capital (since renamed Judges Scientific) is a good lesson in how shells may take quite some time to make the right deal.

Judges Capital (JDG) floated as a shell in January 2003, raising £1.8M. net after costs at 95p per share, with a market cap. of £2M. at the placing price.

26 Sep 2003 07:00 AM RNS Interim Results

"Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to report for the first time to our shareholders. Your Company was floated on AIM on 7th January 2003, after raising £2m, leaving £1.8m after costs. …"

https://www.investegate.co.uk/announcement/rns/judges-scientific--jdg/interim-results-/520140

But it only made its first acquisition of a company (Fire Testing Technology) in May 2005 (with a placing at £1 per share).

Then by mid 2023 JDG had surpassed 10,000p, making it a 100-bagger. Currently 9,640p, market cap. £637.94M.

The directors of JDG had a lot of their own money invested into JDG, making them at once very incentivised and very careful.

Also, it's interesting that ARA haven't issued a post year end operational update, unlike last year (on 16th. January 2023).

This could potentially be a sign that they are in advanced stage deal negotiations, so are keeping quiet because something could be unveiled imminently.

From Paycor's earnings call yesterday.

Its market is still in its early stages of growth, its offering is compelling, and its margins are expanding: all of which support a strongly confident outlook, especially when combined with the company's high level of recurring revenue:-

Paycor's excellent Q2 results surpassed estimates by quite some margin, which is great news for NWT:-

"Paycor HCM, Inc. (PYCR) Q2 Earnings and Revenues Surpass Estimates

Zacks Equity Research

Wed, February 7, 2024 at 10:45 PM GMT

Paycor HCM, Inc. (PYCR) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.11 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.09 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.08 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 22.22%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $0.04 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.07, delivering a surprise of 75%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.

Paycor HCM, Inc. , which belongs to the Zacks Internet - Software industry, posted revenues of $159.54 million for the quarter ended December 2023, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.61%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $132.86 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Paycor HCM, Inc. Shares have lost about 7.4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 3.9%.

What's Next for Paycor HCM, Inc.

While Paycor HCM, Inc. Has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. ..."
