Lol I’ve blocked so many! We now have a Nostradamus do we?

Market needs evidence the company is sustainable first. Time needed, but it will come imho. DYOR. Good luck

I’ve done some digging into gyrometric, will post in the evening. Good luck all

I’m here. Waiting patiently. Was it Warren Buffett who said: you can’t get a baby in one month, by getting nine women pregnant. A plan takes time. These new BOD are not interested in small trading spikes. They hold circa 22%, plus warrants. So let them get on with it. News due soon. DYOR. Good luck all

Was reading further on the gyrometric kit testing. It commenced summer 2017 (apologies I mentioned Nov 2017). Catapult website (includes centre for excellence in offshore energy) mentions that trials testing Powertrain tech safety/innovation tend to run 12-24months. So there may a wait. The gyrometric website has had some updated info too. Maintained/updated websites are always a good sign, indicates a business that is aiming to stay current imho. DYOR. Good luck all https://ore.catapult.org.uk/work-with-us/smes/innovation-challenges/generator-health-monitoring/

“Monitoring the condition of rotating shaft mechanisms has traditionally been carried out using vibration sensors. Such sensors measure the frequencies and amplitudes of vibration. The Gyrometric approach is to measure accurately the actual displacements AND the frequencies which, coupled with real time monitoring, gives much richer data for assessing performance including wear and load calculations, and to facilitate optimal maintenance and replacement planning.” So the measuring of vibration frequency has been there for eons. Gyrometric adds very sensitive measurement of deviation/displacement to the game. More importantly, it provides feedback to operators in real time, via the cloudand as I understand it, the kit can be programmed to control/adjust the speed etc to avoid damage/optimise performance etc. So the other technologies may monitor, but they are passive. Just my understanding, not a techie. DYOR. Good luck all

Website is getting updated..it’s all coming together. Imho. DYOR.

Ezhik: a time will come in the non too distant future, when planned regular inspection/surveying will be done by an army of drones. Drones will replace a lot of human labour from a safety, cost efficiency and time saving perspective. The drones will be programmed remotely, work out of line of sight, transfer data in real time, and this data will allow operators to act immediately on any safety issues. Don’t forget drones can have all kinds of sensors ex thermal etc. Drones could be distributed to disaster zones, help plan relief work, deliver essentials like medicines, food, comms etc. Possibilities are endless. The last 5-7 years have been the worst ever in terms of flooding and storms related damage in the UK, no coincidence, it’s climate change imho. Policy is gearing in recognition of this: EA initiatives, running flood and coast conferences annually, govt 25 year environment plan, insurers like Aviva focussing on flood risk asst/management, drone bill draft, BIM taking off as Callit posted etc This year onwards, it’s all coming together. As regards the previous plans, maybe they were slightly ahead of the sectors development with poor execution (bad luck too or poor due diligence? in that US transaction). Luck matters in life, regardless of effort and vision. They wanted training programmes, logged flight data online, which sort of certifies UAV operators etc. New BOD has correctly identified that staying afloat, getting revenues is a priority, and are working hard on this. I see multiple revenue streams ahead. Even if it starts trickling in, cost base being reduced leads me to believe we won’t raise again till next year. There’s plenty of warrants on the way up, of course dilutive but provides cash. All just my humble opinions. DYOR. Good luck all

The agreement with Aviva may well be a service agreement. But it’s geocurve chosen as preferred partner for aerial survey and aerial inspection needs. Imho I agree no fixed revenues guaranteed, but the blue sky potential can’t be underestimated. Patience needed whilst the relationship develops. If Aviva needs aerial surveys and inspections, they will come to geocurve first. They may well be using them already. Aviva has been highlighting for some time now, it’s priorities. Climate change, the challenges it creates, flood risks, storms etc, and managing these risks proactively. So it’s not unreasonable to assume flood modelling, topo surveying will form part of that risk assessment. On the other side, damage after disasters: again loss adjusters will rely on tech that does their job: aerial surveys of roofs etc. So the fact that no revenue projection has been released is not equal to just a piddly contract. Just my two pence. DYOR. Good luck all

I m still saying April end to May first week. Because my wife has confirmed I m never wrong.

Mr Chow: price rock solid, no volume today...what do you make of it?

Agree Callit, that the total energy production is offshore plus land based. The potential is huge, both for drone based inspection and the gyrometric kit (of course IF it succeeds in trial). Moving forwards, given the resistance to wind mills on land, off shore will lead the way in growth imho. DYOR. Good luck all

Correction: the software and electronics is proprietary.

NB states this marks �the COMMENCEMENT of our strategy of investing.....� There�s more in the pipeline, a new chapter. All imho. DYOR. Good luck all

1. Gyro metrics is running a 6 month trial, with its �gyromon�, consisting of generic hardware and proprietary software, on a 7MW wind turbine, at the UK centre for excellence in renewable energy. To give one an idea of scale: �An average offshore wind turbine of 3.6 MW can power more than 3,312 average EU households.� (www.ewea.org) The trial commenced in Nov 2017, so results in April/May imho. Essentially these devices are best fitted during factory manufacture of wind turbines. The prospect is of this device proving successful in the trial, leading to contract/s for fitting on new turbines. I can see some competition ref similar electronic monitoring systems, and my lack of tech knowledge doesn�t allow me to compare the tech or the patents. Anyone with a tech background, feel free to find the patents, research them. UK leads Europe in wind turbine energy production, and our aims are ambitious. We crossed circa 15% of total energy needs by wind energy, in 2017, a new record for us. Many commentators think wind is going to end up cheaper than gas and nuclear (not to mention cleaner). Cost of wind energy (forward contracts) has dropped significantly: 50% DROP in just 30 months, including transmission costs, so economies of scale are being realised. Gyrometrics is already working with distributor Vulkan, for its marine tech, and known to have customers in Asia already, and described as having a good �order book�. Of course we need sight of the numbers. Gyro accounts has merged with BHI given it owns 50%, year end results upto March 2018, expected in June. The intention is to roll out into Wind turbines, and lastly into Nuclear installations. Areas targeted initially are UK plus Europe. 2. Second area of growth would be Geocurve winning new contracts: ? from EA, jointly ? with Jacobs (who took over CH2M in December 2017) etc. Contract with Aviva is as partner for aerial surveying and aerial inspection. Big growth areas: Aviva is a top 30 financial service provider in the world, $69B turn over, multiple markets/regions. Revenue is less relevant than the doors it will open and the endorsement by a brand. Tech is not as relevant as the people: Geocurve team has always been innovative. Everyone knows about the recent Leica kits: Pegasus backpack, and Pegasus two Ultimate (P2U). Older ex: https://www.korecgroup.com/first-trimble-ux5-hp-delivery-in-england-to-geocurve/ Lastly, I ve puzzled over the link or �compliment� between Aero and gyrometrics. Drones and non drone surveying could compliment monitoring of wind turbines, nuclear installations possibly. There may be a joined up software platform in the cloud, which reports in real time, merging data from the gyrometric system and drones? Note mention of a �remote monitoring service� in RNS. Just guessing here. I found the use of wording interesting in recent RNS. NB states this marks �the COMM

Thanks Majic

PS: worth noting that Beaufort got booted moment TB joined aero, although website shows them. (TB is a director in Peterhouse Corp). I understand a new PR firm is taking over soon, after which website etc will be updated. End June sees the FY statement for 2017, where all should be revealed.

Tic: long story. They went on an acquisition spree, mostly back fired, geocurve was a stand out good prize. The aero co they acquired in 2015-16, they had a legal dispute with its founder ?Hulsey Smith, he counter sued them; expensive court process, and finally settlement: late 2017 when new Bod joined. They also had big plans for US, multiple offices in different regions, huge corporate costs, so raising after raising to keep lights on. Expensive debt with Farina. Very little turned into tangible revenue. Ceo changes. Poor leadership and inability to turn vision into reality. Massive value destruction by dilution as you noted, sp chart is shocking. Most of the old bod are gone. These guys NB and TB have taken controlling stakes, are veterans of cost cutting, turning around dog cos. In barely three months, a new geocurve contract (tbf to old bod this was in the pipeline), new cutting edge 3D survey kit, debt settled, dispute settled, CFO sent packing, three other BOD members sent off, open offer to existing investors and now this aviva news. Further “significant minority stake/acquisition” in complimentary co with “strong growth prospects” mentioned. Hence a buy/hold imho, with the story about to turn very interesting. Key question is can they execute? We will find out soon. All just my opinions. Please DYOR and reach your own decisions. Good luck all

https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-fenby-38221a22/ A bit of background on new appointment. Headed a FTSE250 co. As always, I look at the calibre of people, and the aspirations they bring, as a matter of course. The value creation, sp etc will follow. It has to. Just my humble opinion. DYOR.

Callit: agree. BIM being adopted and us getting into more sophisticated 3D surveying via Leica kit etc, means we are no longer a one trick (drone) pony as far as surveying goes. I would like to see some progress on the software development side, to make it a one stop solution. It is hinted at here and there. Ex Aviva says “The data based reporting is supported by a versatile customer portal.” RNS to raise in open offer mentioned software upgrade investment. Optimist spoke of us acquiring SAAS (as part of the disastrous aero acquisition), which I don’t pretend to understand, but I think it’s related to the software side. Just my two pence. DYOR. Good luck all
