Fairly recent events after gaining the funds you mention include :-
(1) Link with Micropore USA. (2) Link with Naval France. (3) Link with Saab Sweden. (4) Link with Thales France on MOD work. [2 and 4 carried grant money] - [1and 3 carried prospects of money]
Don't think these, although international would fit your item C.
I would say of A and B, that B may apply to many companies, so would go for A If I have to choose --- Yours, Max.

Fully agree with you, I used "partial" to encourage a correction. I would have liked their majority stake to have been more than 62%, but I realise there may have been difficulties in that endeavour. Let us hope that ti is a good, no, very good investment. --- Yours, Max.

Thank you for a very encouraging post today, at 08.23. I do appreciate that the partial acquisition in Spain should allow VRS to participate in a quite srong company who may receive EURO funding for some of their projects, and who knows, some UK funding indirectly through VRS. The brief extract of a report by Alliance News at 07.28 may help in people obtaining clarity before the Chancellors speech on Monday next. --- Yours, Max.

Some Brexit thoughts for your consideration -- Pre Budget:-

No-Deal Brexit Could Slam Brakes On UK Growth, Says Think Tank NIESR
[ 26 Oct 2018 06:53 ]

LONDON (Alliance News) - A no-deal Brexit could slam the brakes on the UK's economic growth, wiping out Chancellor Philip Hammond's hopes of boosting public spending, a think tank has said.

If the UK fails to reach a withdrawal deal with the EU and moves on to World Trade Organisation rules next March, GDP growth can be expected to slow sharply from 1.4% this year to 0.3% in both 2019 and 2020, said the National Institute of Economic & Social Research.

This scenario – which assumes that the shift to WTO rules is achieved in an orderly way – would erode almost all of the space available for Hammond to increase spending on services.

Expectations of a boost for public spending in next week's Budget have been fuelled by Prime Minister Theresa May's recent declaration that the end of austerity is in sight.

By contrast, Niesr forecast that a "soft" Brexit with a deal with Brussels could see growth rise to 1.9% in 2019 and 1.6% in 2020.

Yours, Max.

A number of important issues raised today. On a personal plane - The eye specialist today told me he doesn't want to see me for three months and to just use up the remaining stock of eye drops. [Hip Hip Hurray]
Issue (1) EURO and Italy --- taking Dalesters points who are the people exporting to Italy ? Are we among them ??
Issue (2) Asset Loans or Lack of. JDubya seems to have, with colleagues like LuckyOrange, discovered some vital information which may well need some legal opinions being sought. OR would that be too costly ?
Issue (3) Brexit, we just cannot turn our backs on this issue. We know companies who are members of CBI are receiving advice from their experts, I hope our experts are also receiving advice. Any thoughts for us ? --- Yours, Max.

Found out, just now, USA % for 2017 is 105.1. -- I had only looked at results in Europe as the Embroglio ?? between EURO and Italy escalated. ---- Yours, Max.

You are right to say lets keep our eye on VRS, but we cannot do that, in all fairness, and ignore the impact on of world affairs as ABLE and many others have pointed out. I was quite prepared to think that Italy's problems were of their own making and concern but the ultimatum from EURO may have very far reaching consequences. Many folk worry over the UK leaving EURO, particularly the business sector. If EURO collapses over the Italy situation, then UK and our trading countries will perhaps suffer enormously, and so will VRS. ---- Yours, Max.

Having googled above title we find some very interesting statistics regarding the first quarter of 2018.

EURO - 81.8% ................. UK - 85.5% ............... GREECE - 180.1%

I thought the EURO had bailed out Greece so that they were back on an even keel, but seemingly not.

The Italian Government might, therefore, be seeking something of a bailout eventually. Any thoughts about the effect on such as the UK, France, and others who are well under 100%. --- Yours, Max.

European Commission Rejects Italian Budget, Three Weeks To Revise
[ 23 Oct 2018 18:11 ]

LONDON (Alliance News) - The European Commission has taken the unprecedented step of ordering Italy to revise its public spending plans.

In a move that escalates a month-long stand-off, the EU said the populist government's budget for next year is out of line and breaks earlier promises to lower public debt.

Italy's debt load is the second-highest in Europe, after Greece, and there are worries that losing control of spending could rekindle financial turmoil in Europe.

The populist Italian government says the sharp increase in spending is needed to jump-start growth after years of malaise.

"We see no alternative but to request the Italian government to revise its draft budgetary plan," EU Commission vice president Valdis Dombrovskis said.

Italian deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini was quick to warn off the EU.

He said: "No one will take one euro from this budget."

The confrontation laid bare the fundamental problem within the eurozone where 19 EU nations share the same currency, yet governments maintain autonomy over spending priorities and the EU has been reluctant to enforce spending limits.

Since the euro economy can be destabilised when one member state loses control of its finances, like Greece did a decade ago, the other nations want to have some say over excessive spending, especially when it concerns the region's third-biggest economy. -------------- There is more but I left it.
Yours, Max.

Agree with you in general but the eventual purchasers of a product like graphene or graphene Inks want the best product for their cash since they like to advertise to the last buyer in the chain that they are buying the BEST. Formula 1 racing cars will soon have to consider improving their tyres which seem to blister under certain conditions. Graphene is said to be so robust that it may be their salvation. The strenthening of footware and insertion into athletes sport wear are other choices where the BEST is needed. How about the work with Axia in South Korea and the development of structurals panels which are much stronger than steel. The development in Spain on battery plates, etc. and possible eligibility for EURO funding. Developing a strong position in the USA with the National Graphene Association (NGA) and being asked to address the Senate on behalf of NGA. I feel sure you can point to other things that are almost ready for exploitation. --- Yours, Max.

I notice you have both done a large number of posts, on other forums, may I ask ? If you had beeen invested on here you would have been subjected to a large number of RNSs which triggered, and rightly so, a surge in investments from people who were attracted to the possibilities, NO, probabilities, that this is a winner in such a new material with a great future. Read the RNSs if you haven't already and perhaps agree that we are going places. --- Yours, Max.

Brilliant news in your latest post ! Could you save me some difficult reading, still on eye recovery programme, and tell us where the information arises about toxicology and no mutation ? Thank You, --- Yours, Max.

We have known about some of the possibilities of collaborating with Chinese Compnies for a while but I don't think I have seen any mention of Alibaba, which of course is a very large company, when VRS has looked into chinese ventures. VRS is, of course, working with the chinese goverment in establishing a manufaturing base in Jinan, i believe. Haydale have recently announced a tie up with a japanese company which looks promising using graphene inks. The promise for the materials known as graphene seems astonishing and good for the UK. Please keep us informed as to what may transpire with Alibaba. --- Yours, Max.

I have just googled "Lumberton Georgia Facilities" and it brought up a report of Veolia being awarded a 9$m contract in North Carolina by GRP in June 2017. The report there is staggering. Veolia is massive. ---- Yours, Max.

Well said, more constructive and distructive notes should come from our posters, not to destroy the company bu the "Satisfaction" shown by so many people and companies. ----- Yours, Max.

What do you mean "News was stamped on" ? ---- Who are "They" to whom you refer three times in you short paragraph ?

"Nanomaterials of some other unknown nature" ..... What a marvellous sounding phrase !

The kind os phrase used perhaps by Galileo explaining things to the Pope. Typical of your country, Paolo ?

May I ask ----- Who is Nigel ?? He seems to be a man of virtue, Right ? __ Yours, Max.

Please enlighten this non twitter person as to what was in your last message. I do understand, I think, what you might mean about giving money to MMs. That seems to happen every day when some poor company has to have an extended monitoring session, some times TWO in succession ! ------ Yours, Max.

See if this link works.

Contains the word "join" and you will find plenty of notes about USA if you get through. ---- Yours, Max.

EXPLICITLY. --- The p[ause i Mentioned indicated a Pause in money from MOD. Get that ?? I have, or had, no wish for TPG to sit and do nothing !! I am, however, pleased that the investment in "Software" has achieved some contracts although not a great deal of cash attached to them. Regarding BUYING another Engineering Company, perhaps they are rarer than hens teeth ! ___ Sorry Dar that you have not received a reply, i wii try to tell them a friend would like to hear from them. -------------------- Yours, Max.
