Good news...money back from the grid on top of generating free electricity...the "pay back" goalposts have moved bigtime....this makes products like Genlec micro CHP appliances even more attractive....the government is determined to kick start the market. http://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/news/pn10_010/pn10_010.aspx If Genlec enabled appliances can generate £200 per year in electricity, how much FIT will that give? I guess it would more than pay the cost of the boiler, making this a no brainer?

The private sector is expecting a bonanza from supplying schools. “Schools are complex organisations, with big budgets and sophisticated technology,” said Terry Sweeney, chief executive of RM, which puts computers into classrooms and maintains them. “The head teachers I talk to definitely understand about buying in professional support services.” http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/technology/article6982320.ece

Demand for electricity generating glass slumped last year sending manufacturer Romag into an operating loss as revenues tumbled by 41% to £19.7m. There was a trading loss for the year of £1m, though a £2.7m hedging gain kept the group overall in the black at £1.1m against £3.7m "During the final quarter of 2009 and even more so since the year end, we have experienced an increase in the number of identified opportunities and have witnessed significant price stabilisation in the PV markets," Romag said. The mayor of London promised that 22,500 charge points would be installed at workplaces with a further 500 deployed on city streets and 2,000 made available in car parks. He added that a network of special fast charge points would be installed at key locations on the road network and at motorway service stations in the south east. The rapidly expanding charging network will be supported by a new website for electric car drivers, which will be launched next year and will provide owners of electric vehicles with a single point of information on charge point locations and payment options for recharging. http://www.businessgreen.com/business-green/news/2255060/mayor-boris-promises-electric

Mentioned on Working Lunch at the end of interview with a Director of East Midlands Airport... we now use engine washing, a win-win process, saving both fuel and money. How come this share is not moving North? DYOR, but a great price to buy. I topped up at 19.1p

RM is one of the world's leading education solution businesses and is well-positioned for growth, with highly relevant experience and world-class solutions. The shares are trading on an 2010 earnings multiple of just 10.3 times, falling to 8.8pc next year. Questor believes that the company is operating in an excellent global market and the shares look undervalued. Buy says the Telegraph. There is also potential for consolidation at home, adds the Times. Redstone, the indebted rival which beat RM to two big-ticket BSF contracts in Birmingham and Lancashire, is in play ? and RM confirmed yesterday that it was keeping a "close eye" on the situation. RM is a buy suggests the Times

Trading loss of £1.0M compares to an underlying loss of £6.4M in the second half of last year. Now returned to underlying trading profit and cash generation

The company have invested during the downturn, requiring a two month closure of the group's Arnhem processing facility to enable process improvements and an automated wood logistics system to be implemented. As a result the group reported a loss before tax of €8.03m in the six months to the end of September, compared to a profit of €0.23m. This puts them in a strong postion to gain market share and capitalise on the green credentials of Accoya wood. The company has recently signed distribution deals for Accoya wood in the United States and opened a regional office in Dallas. Management said it was in discussions over licenses for potential capacity of over one million cubic meters. Accsys currently has EUR17.5 million in cash, with Edison expecting the company to be cash positive this year and remain well funded with estimated total annual fixed costs of about EUR 20 million. Edison is forecasting revenues over the next three years at EUR30 million. The company also has a EUR20 million equity financing agreement with GEM Global.

Just to aviod confusion, AXS, CYAN and LPX are amongst the shares I am happy to hold for the long term - not KURA

Looking for the gain - just bought @ 44.5p Note the sp is in Euro's as it is dual listed in EU. Great opportunity to get into a profitable green co. that is growing - but is the delisting of Kurawood (KURA) having a negative effect? Another one I am happy to hold for the long term. DYOR

Skype will be sold to investment group Silver Lake - with Zennstrom and Friis taking a 14% stake in the company they founded in return for a "significant capital investment." Silver Lake will take a 56% holding, with the remaining 30% share retained by eBay - which will receive $1.9 billion when the deal closes, valuing Skype at around $2.75 billion. Under the deal, Zennstrom and Friis will continue to license their Global Index Software to Skype, and cease all litigation once the sale is complete.

Looks like ord share holders only get 10% of any allocation. Can anyone confirm? Inspired is recommending a share capital reorganisation which would see the preference shares converted into ordinary shares. Each preference share would be divided into seven ordinary shares and then every six ordinary shares in issue would receive one new ordinary share. This would leave former preference share holders with 90% of the enlarged share capital.

If I understand it correctly, and Deferred Shares are able to be converted to ord.shares, then ordinary share holders will hold half the value of the company? Preference Shareholders are allocated 7 new ordinary shares + 3 Deferred Shares = 10 shares. Each Ordinary Share will be allocated 9 Deferred Shares = 10 shares. Quote .....the Board is recommending that the Company's share capital be reorganised into one class of New Ordinary Shares which are held approximately 90 per cent. by Preference Shareholders and 10 per cent. by the Ordinary Shareholders. This capital reorganisation would be effected as follows: Each Preference Share will be sub-divided into seven Interim Ordinary Shares and three Deferred Shares. Each existing Ordinary Share will be subdivided into one Interim Ordinary Share and nine Deferred Shares.

I am in @ 0.32p Buys shown as sell. Great long term buy. This co. has a clear plan to release value and grow the business over the next few years and is in a market that is growing strong IMO. DYOR

Crazy 927% spread? No vol. to trigger correction, explanation remains a mystery. Only last month Tony Tong, Chairman, commented: "We are confident that Asian Citrus will continue to progress and deliver good value to its shareholders in the wake of the continued economic growth in China."

Laird, recently rated a buy in the press @ 195p, has confirmed speculation that it is considering an equity issue.

Good long term growth and cash flow . Good time to take some profit, if like me you have >150% profits.GLA.

Some good points, but can you clarify. Do the fuel cell stacks need to be replaced every 5 years , and units replaced every 10, if the generator is only run for 30% of that time? Or will the life be extended to 15 years and 30? Long term sharholder. GLA

Commercial real estate consultancy firm Colliers said half year losses widened while revenue fell 32% amid 'market conditions among the most difficult faced by the industry.' Loss before tax swelled to £11.84m for the six months to 30 June 2009 from a loss of £4.49m the year before. Revenues fell to £27.07m from £40.04m. Commenting on trading conditions chairman John Ritblat noted after a difficult first quarter, "There was some stabilisation in the second quarter and activity levels began to pick up noticeably in the third quarter." Chief Executive David Izett added, "In the shorter term, for the remainder of 2009, we expect performance to be significantly better than the first half as we benefit from the re-organisation of the group and the first signs of more active markets." In a separate announcement Colliers said it is planning a share placing to raise £20m and amended 3-year bank facility of £18m, reducing net debt to around £7m. Colliers are not recommending a dividend payment

The company will be exhibiting new products using NXT's technology from brands including TDK, Q Acoustics, JVC, Hitachi, Philips and iHome at the Hong Kong Electronics Fair later this month. Demand for small touch screen devices using NTX's haptic bending wave technology should take off now M/S Win 7 O.S. supports touch screens natively, IMO. Good rise today supported by good vol. GLA
