1st Dec 2023 3:17 pm RNS Expiry of Listing Rules Transitional Arrangements

"The minimum market capitalisation of a company seeking admission to the Official List pursuant to Listing Rule 2.2.7R was increased from £700,000 to £30 million with effect from 2 December 2021, subject to certain transitional provisions that disapplied that increase to certain companies in certain circumstances. Those companies include shell companies that had a listing immediately before 3 December 2021 and that make a complete submission for eligibility review for listing and a prospectus review by 4pm on 1 December 2023 (the "SPAC Provisions"). The Company would meet the criteria for the application of the SPAC Provisions and so could be admitted to listing with a market capitalisation of £700,000 or more following a Reverse Take Over ("RTO") if it made the appropriate submissions to the FCA by 4pm today in respect of that particular RTO.

As announced on 15 November 2022, the Company is proposing to acquire the entire issued share capital of Amcomri Group Limited ("Amcomri") (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition, if completed, will constitute an RTO under the Listing Rules. Therefore, at the Company's request a suspension of its listing pending either the issue of an announcement giving further details of the RTO, the publication of a Prospectus, or an announcement that the RTO is no longer in contemplation was granted on 15 November 2022.

Since that time, the Company and Amcomri have been working together to prepare a prospectus, but it does not yet meet the "substantially complete" requirement for making the first submission to the FCA. As the Company will therefore not be making an application for prospectus review and eligibility review before the expiry of the SPAC Provisions, the minimum £30 million market capitalisation requirement will apply to any application for readmission whether following the Acquisition or any other RTO.

Amcomri has made a number of further acquisitions since 15 November 2022 and the Board now expects that the market capitalisation of the Company on readmission following a successful completion of the Acquisition will exceed the minimum requirement of £30 million. The Company now expects the Acquisition to complete and an application for readmission to be made in the second half of 2024.

The Company will make further announcements concerning the Acquisition and preparation of the prospectus at the appropriate time.

Card Cloning – A Real Threat to Modern Building Security

Thankfully, innovation has led to the development of encrypted solutions that provide the security that all environments can benefit from.

Chris Wrench

Senior Product Manager

One of the greatest security risks to your buildings and estates is that of card cloning. Sadly, technologies have existed for years that allow the swift copying of legacy cards and it is only becoming easier. Recently there has been a spike in card cloning using a range of devices, from specialist machines through to the versatile Flipper Zero. For security professionals responsible for access control systems, card cloning presents significant issues that seem insurmountable. 

Thankfully, innovation has led to the development of encrypted solutions that provide the security that all environments can benefit from.

The Worst Case Scenario

You don’t need much imagination to consider the potential problems that card cloning creates. Systems installed to allow only approved personnel access can be circumvented – and the reasons for doing this are always nefarious. And it affects access control systems used in so many areas, from offices to university student accommodation to hospital buildings. 

It’s not the fault of the security professionals; often, those partaking in illicit access have cutting-edge technology at their disposal. However, it is the responsibility of security professionals to meet this threat with equal firepower. And that means understanding and using advances in access control credential technology to combat the issue. 

There are some security firms guilty of adopting a ‘carry on regardless’ attitude, which only serves to leave their customers vulnerable. With a solution so readily available, there’s no excuse for not adapting. So why are so many firms lagging behind?

The Problem with 40-Year-Old Technology

Keycard and fob technology has been around for decades, and many systems that are installed across the UK have existed for more than 40 years. And because these systems work well enough day-to-day, it can seem like an upheaval – financially and administratively – to make a change. There’s a mindset of ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’, but in this case, remaining ignorant of the risks that relying on the same basic unencrypted RFID communication presents can make you question the integrity that drives the decisions.

And we’re not just talking about the boot-on-the-ground access control companies; some of the leading names in manufacturing are guilty of pressing ahead with technology that can be breached. ..."

Well done Dab!

NWT looks to meet all the positive criteria admirably ... but without the risk of a penny share punt.

CA's 8 selections all seem to be loss-making, and most don't even have any revenue.

NWT in contrast is nicely profitable, and with a potential nearer term multibagging catalyst that isn't though a speculative moonshot.

I.e. a Grosvenor Technology spin-out from NWT, in a US floatation: which not only makes perfect sense, but would follow an established NWT modus operandi.

And a GT spin-out in America would likely be a key to an immediate and immense unlocking of its value.

Most profitable shares don't have the same sort of nearer term upside, unless they are taken over, which is itself speculative and uncertain.

"Penny stock shortlist: best growth shares of 2024

by Charles Archer

November 20, 2023

GMET, SKA, TYM, CIZ, ATN, CGNR, BSFA & ACRM shares may be the best growth stocks for 2024. But which should take the top spot?

Every December, I select what I consider to be the best ‘growth’ stock going into the next year. This year, as I now have somewhat of a social media following, I thought it might be worth creating a shortlist and also asking for any submissions. This stock — whatever it turns out to be — will see me follow it through the calendar year, hopefully through significant gains.

However, there are some parameters:

• It must have a market capitalization under £10 million at 1 December

• It must have a relatively active CEO

• It can’t have an overly complicated finance base

• It must be the stock most likely to see a multiple return, regardless of risk

• Not have red flags. High risk is fine, lifestyle companies are not

The general idea is that this growth stock will at least double in value, hopefully more. In other words, it’s likely to be a ‘moonshot’ with a flagship asset that could deliver spectacular returns. As this is a growth stock, investors should approach it with risk money — with the understanding that while the possible returns may be spectacular, there is a good chance they might lose it all.

In other words: Do not go all in.

Last year, Marula Mining was my growth stock pick for 2023 — and the company rose from 2.45p in December 2023 to 12.13p today. In that time, MARU hit a record 15.5p, and I suspect it will reach new record highs in 2024. However, the company can be ruled out for 2024 as its market cap is too high ..."

The power of AI in workforce management: unlocking productivity and efficiency

Here, we highlight some of the major benefits that AI is having on the workforce management sector and give examples of how it might help your business operations.

Ben Lagden

Commercial Director

2023 is the year of AI. Very few technologies have become so widely used in such little time. Indeed, the AI platform can claim to be the fastest-growing application of all time, registering 100 million active users just two months after its launch.

There is an expectation that the next few years will see a generational shift. A recent report from Goldman Sachs says that AI could replace the equivalent of 300 million full-time jobs but will also drive millions more new roles and a productivity boom.

To illustrate the seismic effect AI is predicted to have, a 2022 AI report by PwC valued the potential contribution to the global economy driven by AI could reach $15.6 trillion by 2030. And as much as 14.5% of North America’s GDP could be directly influenced by AI over the same period.

AI is not a new concept, of course. It is already responsible for a significant impact in the workforce management industry, in particular, aiding enterprises to optimise performance, costs and worker happiness while also achieving critical efficiencies. ..."

Transforming Enterprise Tech: The Convergence of Cloud and Services

As an adaptable and forward-thinking business, Grosvenor Technology has quickly adapted and improved its products and services to reflect this new environment.

Colin Leatherbarrow

Managing Director

Over the last few years, we’ve seen the convergence of two leading trends in the enterprise technology world – cloud computing and service models such as SaaS, IaaS, and others.

The move to cloud infrastructure was well underway before 2020. Still, it’s fair to say that the pandemic acted as a jumping-off point for businesses which, almost overnight, were tasked with keeping distributed workforces connected and productive.

Cloud services offered the ideal solution for this sudden shift, enabling employees to access critical applications, data, and collaboration tools from anywhere, regardless of physical location. A 2022 report from Statista found that 93% of businesses across Europe, the Middle East and Africa accelerated their move to the cloud because of the pandemic. ..."
