Perhaps AK is learning . Feed the market with drip drip "positive indicators" and the herd will arrive. What will happen when real evidence is produced. Meanwhile loving it

Sorry my minds on AFC doubled in a month from 25/55. 16p by Xmas looking dodgy JH

I see from MP0818 on the AFC board that this share option facility is quite a clandestine operation often practised beneath the radar and not widely understood. But hey ho who cares.
And BTW 3.14 in the public sector any bonuses were paid on the achievement of agreed objectives. Having said that I preferred to rely on the "promote him out of the way " approach something with which you can no doubt empathise ?

Thanks Admiral. I am always suspicious of arrangements that are not fully disclosed. IMHO BODs will always look after themselves first. Presently people are not worried because the price is going up and they almost directly attribute the rise to the BOD. Without knowing all the details it does seem certain individuals have rec'd a guaranteed windfall on the back of the recent rise. Lets hope the rise continues.

But surely more shares (3% this time ) must mean more dilution

I am simply trying to understand the scheme . There was a big hoo ha when it ran out some time ago but was extended as per "One quarter of the 2013 Options vested 12 months following the date of grant, with the remainder vesting 1/48 each month following the date of grant. 320,833 2013 Options have been granted but have not yet vested as at the date of this announcement. The expiry date of the 2013 Options will now be 9 April 2018." Has it been extended again since and for how long ? I have no problem rewarding staff for good performance but if the BOD are simply making the use of the current SP to "buy" at 5 and sell at 9p well then I am not . Which ever way you look at it , it dilutes

7om86 but do they have to buy them in the first place or do they sell them then pay us the 5p. Either I cant see much advantage to PIs

There was some discussion a few years ago about the scheme under which the recent allocation of shares was made. Could someone please summarise the situation. I would like to know the basis of the scheme ie does it simply give selected/all employees the right to shares at a certain price and do they have to pay for them? Are there any qualifying criteria i.e. good business performance? Are such schemes common place and are their any attendant conditions ? Are their any limits . Essentially the question I am asking is whats in the award for investors or is it just another way of selected employees diluting shares to line their own pockets?. And before Kencarv and co say “do your own research” I ask because surely someone must have a grip on what the scheme is all about and WIFM

I really hope you techie guys are right . But somehow I just cant believe that a small Aussie R and D company with just 20 odd employees has the promised land in the palms of its hands . It has to be too good to be true doesn't it?. I am turning into a believer but still conditioned to "all that glisters is not gold". and something is bound to go wrong . Happy Christmas guys

I think you will find Vanilla that in the early days the SP was over a pound

IWGROD I was merely commenting on 1013 post bet Ilovesushi about which you chose no to comment. So get off my case !!

BOD looking after themselves ?? Perish the thought

Bumblebee other boards what boards?

Thanks Monkey for putting this case into perspective. I hope you are right so that we can move on

Cant argue with that

Well Gents if you take "management reports" as gospel more fool you . I can remember a few years ago when we promised x y a nd z AK suddenly came out and said sorry but we have have had supply chain problems for 3 months. The BOD says whatever it wants to keep the heat off them. Still that's all irrelevant. I agree that the future looks rosier than for some time but having been here several times before I am not counting my chickens yet. Still my AFC are doing well but not AMC

I don't think I have ever said AK would not pull off the Murata deal. The only reservation I had was whether they would retain all the previous customers and nobody has any evidence on that (including you Iwgrod) . As regards profit all I have correctly said is that in what 15 years CPX has never made a profit and despite several false dawns they still haven't . I agree that this next year looks more promising but it doesn't detract from his poor previous record

Musk is a bit like Trump a hard nosed business man driven by one thing , profit and a determination to do it his way . Now I don't have a clue how much any licencing fee would add to the cost of one of his cars but I suggest he will make a decision as to whether that cost is acceptable . If it is not then I suggest he will deal with us as he sees fit. And I further suggest he is another Murdoch with friends and contacts who could make things very difficult for CPX. This whole thing needs to be handled very carefully and not in an adversarial way . He would make a bad enemy. All IMHO . I sincerely hope he will buy us out . So come on chaps buy , buy and get that SP up

Shh Musk is coming up on the rails........

Never forget every man has his price. Musk will either spend .00001 of his wealth on buying us or as much again punishing us. You decide
