BVM Presentation tonight http://boards.fool.co.uk/mello-tonightbelgravium-bvm-and-nfsc-2013-12994862.aspx?sort=postdate Tonight at our monthly Mello dinner event in Beckenham we will be looking into the future and also celebrating the past with a presentation from Belgravium Technologies Plc who are coming to Mello having just released their 2013 results last week and are promising further accelerated progress in 2014. We also have timbo003 joining us, as the winner of the NFSC Trophy and he will tell us all about his winning entry. I have had it engraved and Tim will now keep it until we know its new home at the end of this year. John Kembery the executive chairman at Belgravium will join us and he certainly sounded upbeat when I spoke to him last week after the release of the final results for 2013 which can be found here... http://www.investegate.co.uk/belgravium-tech--bvm-/rns/final... Commenting John Kembery, Chairman of Belgravium, said: "2013 was a year of consolidation in the core business supplemented by the successful acquisition of Feedback. In 2014 we expect to make further and accelerated progress. The economic outlook is at long last improving and we expect this to encourage our customers to start spending more readily. We believe the measures we have taken over the last few years to reduce costs and enhance our product offering have placed Belgravium in a good position to capitalise on this change and that 2014 will prove to be a significantly more successful year." Quite bizarrely though the share price slipped backwards on that promising outlook and the shares on Friday traded at 4.125p mid price which puts them on a very low rating of just six times forecast earnings for 2014 and five times next year. They also now have a forecast dividend yield of 5% and buyers now will also get the dividend just announced for 2013. What do they do ? They give a good indication of their activity and marketplace in the report...Belgravium designs, installs and maintains data capture systems for a variety of industries. Over the past few years Belgravium has seen changes in its market place as customers demand complete solutions. As a result Belgravium has adapted its product set and forged strong partnerships to suit this demand. Belgravium has moved a long way from its original role as a hardware manufacturer and is now involved in packaged software, as well as in-vehicle telematics and tracking services. We also offer fully managed support services, tailored to customer demands and the ability to maintain and support customer's outsourced software, where the source code is under their ownership. Naturally such a change means different skills, particularly in selling and re-structuring to this effect has been achieved in 2013. Some of the costs of this process are shown as exceptional in the financial statements. This could suggest this is a good point to take a close look at Belgravium and hopefull

Snoozebox Holdings: Waking Up By Edison | Stock Markets | Feb 27, 2014 11:58AM GMT | | Add a Comment Edison Edison Waking up Snoozebox Hldgs Plc, (ZZZ) looks to be firmly on the mend after confirmation that current trading is substantially ahead of last year, thanks to both demand and pricing, while new high-profile deployments at Glastonbury and the Ryder Cup bring welcome visibility. Stronger financial controls are in place with “markedly lower” operating costs reported in H213. Encouragingly, the design of the next generation hotel product, which is expected to transform operating performance on significantly more efficient deployment, is complete. Coherent model Snoozebox has developed a unique, attractive lodging product, which combines the comfort of a hotel with the convenience of on-site location, as the accommodation is portable and does not require mains services. It serves large visible markets, notably the events market (numbering over 10,000 pa in the UK alone), as well as corporate, government and international markets, and enjoys first-mover advantage with little direct competition. The model is highly cash generative with clear scope for recurring income, as shown by reference clients Silverstone and Goodwood. Recent difficulties at Snoozebox were identified as company-specific and have been addressed, eg strengthening of financial and cost controls, enhanced product specification and marketing, efficiencies and new senior management. Step change opportunity Snoozebox is increasingly confident that its next generation portable hotel can drive a dramatic improvement in returns through much higher asset utilisation (turnaround for events could be three times faster than for existing assets) and a sharp cut in operating costs, mainly because specialist labour and equipment are not required. The pricing of current market alternatives (typically, up to £300-600 per night for shared accommodation without en-suite facilities) is encouraging for Snoozebox’s considerably higher-quality offering. The company plans to bring its new product to market this year, enabling deployment at a much larger number of events in 2015 and beyond. Valuation: Appealing Snoozebox may reasonably be compared with European branded hotel groups (c 12x EV/EBITDA 2014), although with 2013 EBITDA likely to have been negative and forecasts inevitably speculative, it may be more helpful to compare Snoozebox’s current EV of c £9m with reported NAV of £21m at June 2013. Allowance for its start-up status and need for longer-term funding deserves arguably to be more than offset by its apparently dynamic earnings potential. http://www.investing.com/analysis/snoozebox-holdings:-waking-up-204228

Insects are a big problem on farms, especially if animals are kept in barns. Spraying chemical-based insecticide in such spaces can harm the livestock, affect workers and infect the food chain. Certain insects have also become immune to them. TyraTech’s products are safe and effective and Novartis is scheduled to start selling them this year. TyraTech acquired its technology from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, and the company is still based in the US. Having joined AIM in 2007, it spent several years thinking more about research than commercial success, but Reade became chairman in 2010 and last year, he brought in Jactel. Reade formerly chaired Merial, a £1.5&#8201;billion animal health company, which makes the pet flea product Frontline. Jactel, who was originally a vet, was chief marketing officer at Merial and helped make Frontline the most successful consumer brand in the world for pets. Since arriving at TyraTech, Jactel has focused the business on three main areas – head lice treatment, insect repellent for humans and repellent for farm animals. He has also concentrated on the US. Over the next few years, however, the group is expected to expand into Britain and the rest of Europe, as well as Asia and South America. It will also extend its product range, as there is clear potential for the insecticide products to be used on pets. Jactel is even talking about embedding insecticide into plastic bags or rubbish bins to prevent the spread of disease. Midas verdict: As a small business, TyraTech is a riskier investment than some. But it is expected to move into profit next year and grow quickly thereafter. Reade and Jactel are used to leading large, international companies and there are high hopes that TyraTech will either become a major player or be acquired by one. Adventurous investors should reap the benefits either way. Buy.

MIDAS SHARE TIPS: Get a flying start if you're itching to share in £430m head lice market with TyraTech By JOANNE HART, FINANCIAL MAIL ON SUNDAY PUBLISHED: 22:01, 8 February 2014 | UPDATED: 10:36, 10 February 2014 Target: Vamousse is safer than rival products and will be sold by Walmart, says boss Alan Reade, left Irritating and unpleasant, head lice infestations are also difficult to eliminate. In the 1970s, about 5 per cent of children suffered from head lice during their school life. Today, more than 30 per cent are affected. TyraTech has a revolutionary new treatment that kills all lice and their eggs. Pesticide-free, TyraTech’s Vamousse products use oils from plants and vegetables. The US firm’s shares are just 61&#8260;2p but should rise significantly as the Vamousse range is rolled out and other ground-breaking products come to market. Last month, TyraTech chairman Alan Reade revealed that giant US supermarket chain Walmart will start stocking Vamousse head lice treatment and preventative shampoo from the start of April. The products are already on sale at about 2,500 independent pharmacies in the US but talks are being held with groups that represent thousands more. In the UK too, Reade and his chief executive, Bruno Jactel, are negotiating with several top retailers and deals should be announced within weeks. The global head lice market is worth more than £430&#8201;million a year and TyraTech should capture a significant percentage of it over the next five years. Lice have developed a resistance to many treatments, which can also have side effects, such as scalp irritation and headaches. As a natural product, Vamousse is safer and it has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, one of the toughest pharmaceutical watchdogs. But head lice treatment is just one weapon in TyraTech’s armoury. The firm has also developed natural insect repellents for humans and animals, a market worth almost £1.5&#8201;billion a year globally. Most insect repellents for people rely on a compound known as DEET, which was developed about 60 years ago. Some repellents contain just 5 per cent of DEET and are relatively ineffective. These days, however, stronger products are on the market, containing up to 50 per cent. These do stave off insects, but can have unpleasant side effects – they are not supposed to be used on children, they do not work well with sun-block and they can even melt plastic, such as watch straps. TyraTech’s repellent has none of these issues and Jactel is in talks with Amazon and other large retailers about putting it on the shelves and online. The company has also secured a partner – Swiss drugs giant Novartis – to distribute its animal insect repellent. Insects are a big problem on farms, especially if animals are kept in barns. Spraying chemical-based insecticide in such spaces can harm the livestock, affect

16:43 TECH STYLES Um without a doubt I reckon. AVM was a fairly big player before JPM slammed gold down in conjunction with the CB’s / BIS but now JPM has a 65% monopoly in the AU derivatives space. It also appears that funds are leaking from MT Gox into gold which is another factor so they can’t hold back the price because of that either. And the Yen has lost its correlation with the SPX which now appears to be tracking gold coincidentally. Anyways……news out early March and if ABG and HOC were anything to go by then this should be positive as long as they are still pulling ounces out of the gold. They were already on a program to reduce costs and they dropped their hedge book so plenty of uphill to come.

20p this week!

Bombardier Concludes Successful Week at the Singapore Airshow; Solidifies Presence in Asia-Pacific Region Bombardier (TSX:BBD.B) Today : Friday 14 February 2014 Bombardier Concludes Successful Week at the Singapore Airshow; Solidifies Presence in Asia-Pacific Region MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Feb 14, 2014) - Singapore Airshow - Bombardier concluded its participation in Asia's biggest airshow - the Singapore Airshow - with firm orders and commitments for up to 17 aircraft valued at up to $852 million US. In addition, the company further strengthened its presence in the Asia-Pacific region by inaugurating its first wholly owned service centre for business aircraft and opening a Regional Support Office for commercial aircraft. The Asia-Pacific market has once again demonstrated its dynamism, with a high level of interest in Bombardier's aircraft portfolio recorded at the air show. The Challenger 605 and Global 6000 aircraft on display attracted many visitors, highlighting the region's increasing appetite for world-class aircraft that meet the needs of a discerning business clientele. Guests were able to view Bombardier's superior Q400 NextGen turboprop airliner, which was on static display, as well as the full-scale passenger cabin and cockpit demonstrators of the company's CSeries aircraft. Starting on February 9, Bombardier announced that an existing customer, which asked to remain unidentified, placed a firm order for an additional three CS300 aircraft, bringing the program's firm order tally to 201. This was followed by announcements of a firm purchase agreement for two Q400 NextGen turboprop aircraft by Falcon Aviation Services, based at Al Bateen Executive Airport, and the signature of a Letter of Intent (LOI) to purchase up to 12 Bombardier CRJ900 NextGen aircraft by a Middle East and Africa-based undisclosed customer. Bombardier also welcomed Dhaka-based US-Bangla Airlines Ltd. and Lilongwe-based Malawian Airlines to its family of Q400 aircraft operators, as well as lessor Falko Regional Aircraft Limited to the CRJ900 aircraft family, following Falko's addition of a CRJ900 regional jet to its portfolio. Speaking to reporters at a very well attended press briefing, Thai low-cost carrier Nok Air's chief executive Patee Sarasin spoke highly of the extra capacity seating Q400 NextGen turboprop - for which his airline is the launch customer - referencing higher productivity, cost effectiveness and speed as reasons for selecting the aircraft that can accommodate up to 86 passengers in this version. During the show, Bombardier's Customer Services team reaffirmed its commitment to the region starting with the signing of a LOI with FlightSafety International and Nantong Tongzhou Bay Aviation to establish Q400 NextGen aircraft pilot training in Jiangsu, one of China's most affluent and fast-growing provinces.
