Bothwell, thanks for posting the details. Do we read that to mean that by the end of 2017, with the grant, we will be in profit? Assuming phase 1 is successful, of course. Highlight for me of that statement is the reduction in 2nd half operating loss from £1million to £200000. But the figures for UK sales are looking good, too. I suggested a few weeks back that making NHS savings by abandoning ODM was a false economy. I think hospital trust executives are beginning to see the potential of ODM to free up much needed beds. I still can't believe how far off the radar this co. is with PIs, especially when you look at some of the speculative shares that are regularly in top 10 risers without any proven products.

It's on the CNEL website under announcements. What looks inevitable?

Zambia always was the weak link in the chain. It is riddled with corruption, with Mafia influence in the north. Check out Raj Mahtani, the guy who is supposed to be financing Sunbird in Zambia. He's one of richest guys in Zambia, owns own bank, yet disliked by African Zambians (Raj is Indian) so his projects struggle to get approval. But for me Zambia is a small piece in the jigsaw. We've already got Ghana in the bag and Nigeria to come. Sierra Leone is coming, but also in danger of going to war again. Guess this is downside of investment in Africa.

In last month's trading update they were very coy about sub-Saharan Africa saying only "negotiations are ongoing and details are commercially sensitive". This makes me think they are still thrashing out the details of the contract and we won't get an official announcement until both sides are happy. But can't be far off.

http://news.amanbo.com/caBusiness/2561.html According to Amanbo Business News ZKTY have already signed a contract (not an mou) with Sierra Leone to supply bioethanol to Sierra Leone! Funny we haven't had an official announcement yet (dated November 2016). Even quotes from Mr Yu and Nick Bridges!

Has anyone else noticed that every time JT says it's going sub 1p the price actually bounces? Keep it up, Tom.

The reason palm oil has been specifically targeted is it is seen as a major threat to the tropical rainforest, which is being cleared to harvest the palm fruits. Harvesting the fruits on an increasing scale is seen as encouraging illegal tropical rainforest clearance which has two serious consequences:- 1. It is encouraging destruction of wildlife habit for creatures that live in the equatorial forest. 2. It is indirectly increasing CO2 emissions because the rainforest is a major store of CO2. Is this a threat to CNEL? I think not. First off, our crops are not rainforest crops. Secondly, all our plants are designed to use cellulosic plant materials. It couls actually mean that biofuel from cassava fetches a higher price. https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2017/apr/04/palm-oil-biofuels-meps-eu-transport-deforestation-zsl-greenpeace-golden-agri-resources-oxfam

Says she's just bought big stake in SOLG and Ironridge on your say so. Hope you know what you're doing.

continued - money. Top prediction, eh?

People on here don't take you seriously because you don't seem to know anything about CNEL, judging by your posts. Have you ever checked out the website? Read any of the RNSs? Do you know where they already have contracts? What they do? That Sunbird is NOT part of CNEL? We can see the sp movements for ourselves - mean nothing to investors. Not long ago you were relling us the company were going to run out of

Well said, Millsy. Can't believe how naive some of the investors in this - and other shares - are and who wants tips off a punter who, by his own admission, lost a packet on CNEL? It's been said a million times, but a loss is only a loss when you sell. The market cap might not reflect it, but I still see this stock as a big earner long term. A very good RNS this week and more to come. People aren't researching stocks - just following the herd and hoping. A recipe for big losses - I've tried it!

Can't agree with about the BOD, Millsy. With exception of Nick Brooks (who noone has met yet?) they are typically, inscrutably Chinese. I've mailed Mr Yu on a couple of occasions with no reply. But I like that. No bulls**t promises like with so many AIM CEOs.

at this rate we'll have JT back on here telling us it's going sub 1p! lol. What a farce aim is.

The contract with COFCO mentioned in the trading update should have given us a clue what was to come. While cutting CO2 emissions is great, the real earner here is the food and drinks industry. Edible alcohol is ZKTY's main earner in China. Ghanains like a beer at end of day like everyone else, bust most can't afford £2+ for imports from Europe. CNEL have the construction technology, COFCO - as I was trying to explain to DG and 007 last week - have A&M power and finance to promote the products. It's a win win and there's a huge market there in Africa.

Give it time, Jim. Like Mick says, almost everyone one panics nowadays when they see price retracing. I've lost £1000s with CNEL in past through not taking profits. The point about this contract is that it proves that all the talk wasn't the usual AIM hype. More contracts will follow now and even if drops to 1.1 on profit taking, it's going to come back again.

Nice find, Luke. Shows extent to which PureScience range is gradually penetrating lucrative US organic market. I'm struggling to understand that expiration date for the licence, though. September 2017? So it's licensed for just 9 months? Is this a trial period do you think or do they have to reapply annually?

It was quite strange, because at 7am it was showing 2 RNSs but I could find nothing on LSE. Then they disappeared and reappeared later in the morning! The problem seems to be the double listing with TYR, but I am also registered for email alerts and didn't receive one this morning. Did anyone else?

Yawn. What does it take to get a discussion going on this board? Repeated good news. A real company with a patent on a real product that is selling well, particularly in USA. Yet little interest on here. I've seen it before with other AIM shares. Lots of resentment from people locked in from the hyped 25p share price. But beginning to live up to it's promise now.

Will be interesting to hear how sales of the PureScience products are progressing, too, given the size of the market when compared to head lice.

Great news this morning re NHS contract and I think we will see more to follow. It's about time this one moved up. This has got so much potential. I've got to say this is officially the deadest forum on the whole of LSE. Is there anyone out there?? I seem to remember a while back suggesting the NHS Trusts would HAVE to change their stance on ODM if they wanted to save money and surgeons have been saying so, too. Looks like procurement are finally taking notice.
