I believe you are revering to a press release from Oct, 2009…see below Press release 22 October 2009 Plant Impact plc ("Plant Impact" or the "Company") Plant Impact awarded €1m research grant from EU Plant Impact plc (AIM: PIM), which develops and markets ecologically friendly crop nutrition and crop protection products, announces that a Plant Impact led consortium has been granted €1m European Union funding to develop its patented nematicide technology and a soil delivery system. The grant is in respect of the project "Non-toxic and Cost-Effective Essential Oil-based Nematicide and Soil Delivery System". The research is to be completed during 2011. The project is to provide all relevant research and commercial capabilities to deliver a marketable product. The consortium comprises of seven organisations across Europe, with Plant Impact being the nematicide technology provider and coordinator of the consortium. Approximately €300,000 is payable in respect of Plant Impact's contribution to the consortium. Pressure to increase yields from available land (especially in Europe) has resulted in the rise of practices such as monoculture and a reduction in crop rotation, providing ideal conditions for nematode survival and spread. Many of the current nematicides are being phased out because of their greenhouse gas emissions or their safety and handling profile. Plant Impact's approach aims to provide a non-toxic nematicide that can be applied in a timely and cost-effective manner without the need for soil sterilisation which results from fumigation. Following extensive networking within the EU farming communities, Plant Impact believes this solution will be welcomed over existing approaches based on four key-differentiators: As you can see, they were one of seven companies involved in the research. The object was field trials in 2011. They did them and the results were not promising. Present management decided to focus all efforts on those products that had the best chance of significant returns as soon as possible. This is exactly what they have done and are achieving. Getting into broad acre drops has been the ambition of past and present management and clearly offers the chance of exponential sales growth over the next few years. Present management should be applauded for not wasting precious and scarce resources, both human and financial , on product/s that either do not work or need vast resources to monitise them. I gather that the nematode trials effectively didn't work which would explain why they are not bothered about chasing patents…waste of time and money! If you were to bother to chat with management, I am sure they would be happy to tell you all about it. Hope you can make the investor day so you can present all these questions re. patents. I expect, as a concerned share holder, you must want some answ

very promising trading update today, happy with progress in Europe and Brazil. Cash balances healthy and a handy bank facility to facilitate expected growth in Brazilian orders

Some big trades a week or two ago, buys and sells. there has clearly been a seller/s knocking about for a couple of months. now, it looks like they have been cleared away. someone has made lots of small purchases today and the SP has shot up. results coming, supposed to be a bumper quarter with the potential of a dividend announcement (don't hold your breath!). jungle book movie? peter pan sold in the USA? library valuation? and what else lies in the background being worked on? i continue to wait and continue to believe that this company is grossly under valued…crossed fingers for some decent Q results

Wow, that's nice . Been waiting for this for weeks and it is way more than I expected. Market Cap is peanuts

i can buy at 21 and sell at 20.3

news vacuum!

and a tick up to follow….looks like you may have got the last of the 14s…with any luck stock shortage? bog roll…maybe have a chat with your broker

http://www.plantimpact.com/news/simplot-partners-plant-impact-launch-novel-nitrogen-technology-us-turf/ PINT turf partnered and launched in the USA…..glad we got partnered, saves a bundle of cash, don't expect too much from this, but all income is good income!

wife started cleaning about an hour ago…buyers flooded the market. i'm cleaning the windows on monday….encouraging signs

near the close, two trades. one for 20k and one for 10k at 14.25p. in theory this quarter should show some good numbers. traditionally a good quarter and there was some income delayed into this quarter from the last quarter. Lassie and robin hood due for completion in march and April….should hear some business news regarding these two. JB movie has taken sssssooooooooooo long to finalise funding and distributor…..one day an RNS will pop up and I expect DQE to have given away half the rights to fund the movie….clearly , they will be making it with production partners in France and Canada. difficult to buy when sentiment is so poor but that is when you get a fantastic price. MC about £8 million atm…!!!

it is in aright old state. did offer to do a bit of cleaning this weak …..maybe it's a sign! i will let you know if i start to do any

seems we have a 10k and 5k buyer the last couple of days. think we are poised for a breakout here

'It looks to me like a systematic infiltration of a company by parties that can talk the talk but not necessarily walk the walk ' your exact words! people have been sacked/resigned and people have been hired to replace them from the chairman and CEO down to junior staff……..'systematic infiltration'….NO….cold war nonsense that implies shenanigans at play The apple product has been developed and launched…Bugoil has not been launched…….two very different 'lockers'. i think we better leave it there as i think you are wrong about several things and i don't want to waste any more time in pointless discussion

'infiltration'……! strange language suggesting intrigue and malpractice whereas the reality is the old lot resigned or were sacked and a new lot has been hired. i totally disagree that 'all their eggs are in one basket'. you seem to forget that the majority of the staff are based in the UK, N.Europe, and you seem to forget the apple product that was launched at the beginning of the year. nevertheless the importance of the success of veritas in soyabean cannot be understated…..i celebrate the fact, as should all shareholders as it is intrinsic to the company's medium term success and improving shareholders' wealth. i am pretty fed up with the years of boasting about products that don't turn into commercial products, namely Bugoil and Inca potatos….a real roller coaster ride and very disappointing. these products and their supposed efficacies were researched and touted by the old management….at least veritas/soyabean trial results have been collated and presented by the new regime as well as the Bayer deal and the seemingly successful first year of commercialisation…..on their heads be this new product and its supposed sales growth

soya bean is the first broad acre crop PIM have been in……not potatoes…i had similar thoughts but apparently it is not broad acre. yes, they cleared out virtually everybody from the old regime and yes it cost money as you can see in the previous years accounts. the last regime was not exactly covered in glory …or do you think it was? with the receivables due in, with the beginning of the Northern hemisphere season bringing orders and revenues in, with the 'apparent' success of veritas in the Southern hemisphere which should bring in much larger orders from July onwards, I think they could probably get buy on existing cash. However, i don't think they will. The new broker/nomad suggests, to me, that there will be a placement at some stage this year; not a good idea to let the coffers run too low as you are well aware, I suggested exponential growth is possible IF all the things we have been told are true and the farmers follow through with orders….next winter and the following winter….not now!

employment numbers were down in single figures a little over a year ago…..think they are nearer 20 now. this is the first broad acre product and , according to the company, they are hitting the predicted increase in yield numbers, hence there is potentially a massive increase in numbers. margins will improve due to volume of production

'The Company is expected to report approximately £500,000 of net cash on its balance sheet at 31 January 2014. This is a seasonal low-point for the Company, accompanied by higher than expected receivables balances related to shipment and collection timing in the first six months of the year. Net cash balances are expected to rebuild through the second half of the Company's financial year.' higher than expected receivables will account for a portion, as will the lower margins gained as product is made here and exported thus incurring greater costs. I suspect PIM has had to give Bayer a pretty good price on Veritas as well and the company is employing a lot more people these days……hence lower margins. however, the potential for exponential growth in sales is lurking….. The key part of the RNS, ' Growers who have used Veritas™ in the 2013/14 main season soybean crop are achieving value through yield increases that are consistent with our pre-launch promise.' Bayer's goal was to get their customers to plant 10% of their land with Veritas, then the farmers could see if Bayer's/Pim's claims of a %5 improvement in yield was accurate. The implication being that if the claims stood up they would roll out the use of Veritas on a much greater/all of their soyabean crop. We really are at the tip of the iceberg of Brazilian sales if Veritas is prooved up by the farmers. At the moment we are only talking about Bayer's customers in one province. And of the ones who are trying it, they have only used Veritas on 10% of their fields. The maths becomes very compelling if you think about the massive uplift in sales we could see over the next few seasons
