Good to be back in at 200p. Results are in line with my expectations: Loss for the financial year rose by 60% to £8.0 million, gearing up to begin initial manufacturing operations in Q4 2009 + cash and financial assets £23.0 million (2008: £27.5 million. Also, good news it signed a long-term supply agreement with Daalderop BV for the volume boiler assembly of the Company's residential Combined Heat and Power programme with British Gas. Taken profits in CFU to get back in here, as I see a bigger opportunity of long term profitable growth. DYOR and GL all.

Airlines agree to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 1.5% per year over the next decade, from Mondays Guardian. "The British Airways chief executive, Willie Walsh, will unveil an agreement between airlines, airports and aircraft companies to cut emissions to 50% below 2005 levels by 2050. Airlines are expected to lose $11bn (£6.8bn) this year, according to IATA, and their weak balance sheets will be strained further by carbon permits, analysts say. This makes GTE's technology a no brainer, as it pays the airlines to adopt it thro' fuel savings. Also GTE provides solutions for burning a wider variety and quality of fuels such as liquefied natural gas, clean coal, and alternative fuel blends. This may be a slow burner, but don't be on the sidelines when this takes off!

Thanks to InvestingGarden's post re. Asian Citrus expands. Good news on profits up 20.3% to £39m.The article also states that "Asian Citrus spent £1.8 million on basic infrastructure for a new plantation at Hunan, with 2.4 million orange trees to be planted before 2014." My previous post was based on info. @ www.asian-citrus.com, but I missed that it only referred to the proposed plantation of c 2.4m trees. Sorry for the mistake.

E2V supplies sensors and tubing to general industrials and defence companies. Neil Hermon, the manager of the Henderson Smaller Companies investment trust, says,“The problem is the company has too much debt and its balance sheet is stretched. The share price is moribund, but it has got good recovery potential if it can raise capital, which it will do soon." www.fundstrategy.co.uk/this-weeks-issue/investment-trusts.html

Just topped up my portfolio today at 25.7p. I see strong growth and increased profits driving this share higher IMO.GTE is financially strong and demand drivers strengthen as the EU considers imposing pollution charges on airlines. Extracts from www.gtefficiency.com GTE's EcoPower® wash systems can reduce fuel burn by 1%. According to Pratt & Whitney, Singapore Airlines is expected to save close to $15 million fuel costs and reduce CO2 emissions by 128 million pounds by using EcoPower® wash services for its entire aircraft fleet. Return on investment for GTE products have been documented in less than three months, making it a very compelling investment based solely on fuel efficiency savings (cumulative aviation savings of up to $2 billion /year). Additional end user benefits related to emissions reductions and increased life expectancy of parts and systems availability. The Group also provides solutions for burning a wider variety and quality of fuels such as liquefied natural gas, clean coal, and alternative fuel blends.

A third plantation, in Hunan province, is now planted with 2.4m orange trees. Average productive life of an orange tree commences after 4 years and lasts for over 30 years. Orange output grows until maturity at around 10 years. Final 400,000 trees was planted at the Xinfeng Plantation in 1H 2007, and all 1.6 million orange trees are expected to be fruit bearing by 2011. Hepu Plantation — average age: 9.6 years

The proposed Hong Kong listing, in addition to the company's existing quotes on the aim and plus market, opens up the shares to the Chinese market and a possible re-rating.The largest orange producer in China, with 1.2m mature trees at its Hepu plantation and 400,000 at its Xinfeng plantationan, with an additional 1.2m citrus trees nearing fruit bearing age, these shares are set for strong but steady growth IMO.

The Scottish investment company Monks Investment Trust reported its value on April 30 2009 as £681 million, a fall of 350 million in a year!

I have had a good run, up100%, but will now take profits in CWR . Moving into EGX & CFU, on the hope that they will have more good news in the short term. This is still a good long term share holding IMHO and will buy on weakness. DYOR

Some large trades going unreported. This is going to test how low the shares will go. IMO CRA is oversold, as all the recent news was already in the price and dosn't change the fact that the innovative DGC extends the life of gas wells by up to 5 years. Also, the cash balance is anticipated to be £2.5 million at year end with increased revenue next year. I am buying at 11p. DYOR

Ceres Power has the potential to disrupt the market with its Patented Fuel Cell Technology. Strongly funded, with £27m in cash to see it right until volume sales of its CHP units come on stream. The Fuel Cell generates over 1kW of electricity with a heat to power efficiency of 1:1 (1kW of heat then?) & measures 205x 305x305mm. The Alpha CHP unit has passed all independent performance tests and won awards for clean energy in recognition of its ability to halve carbon footprints and save hundreds of pounds from domestic energy bills. Centrica have a 10% holding @ 300p/share and are paying for further development of the Beta CHP unit to ready it for mass production. There is a mass market for the unit, with planned production of 1m units/a from its UK plant by around 2011. Target cost is £3000 for each CHP unit. CWR is also developing low cost energy security devisees for EDF Energy, to provide backup power, UPS, load shedding, auxiliary power and battery charging capabilities, with output from 1 kW to 25 kW. This low cost, highly efficient, responsive, robust and quiet Fuel Cell can run on natural gas, propane, LPG, methanol or hydrogen and something similar will be powering your car in the future! ..Still a long way to go and hi risk!
