...enjoyed reading through them all.

However, it does seem that it is the possibility of a big pay out in awards which is the prime investing motive for a lot of people, at this time of writing of course, not the tech itself; although I concede, that for the greater majority of you this was not your initial reason for investing: lots of really good science here that deserves to be supported and invested in. I can understand why you were attracted to it in the first place. A worthwhile investment, in my honest opinion, that deserves a chance to show what it can do. There are far worse things to invest in that is for sure.

As for the on going case against Samsung?

Definitely would not be holding my breathe here...not unless you can hold it for a very long time that is. Samsung is unlikely to come to some settlement with Nanoco...however favourably the Markman hearing might go regarding Nanoco's contentions.

I am willing to take a long term punt here based on what I have read about the company and its innovative ideas...all very appealing I have to say.

As for the Samsung case? Not even in my way of thinking. Thats a long way down the road...unless the Judge advises there is no point in Nanoco continuing. Then it is just a total non-starter.

Best just invest in the tech. To do otherwise, and end up being bitterly disappointed as the s,p retreats below 10p, might result in a very costly investment that could take a considerable amount of time to capitalize on.

Just a thought.

Confirms what the charts seem to indicate: fair value (without any success in a courtroom) 8 - 10 pence perhaps?

So, in summarizing -- a straight win or loose!

Seems a big ask to believe lowly Nanoco can beat up on mighty Samsung.

Just the Samsung brand itself will carry enormous weight in any court of law...however a judge might try and put that famous household name to the back of his mind.

I find it quite a big stretch to believe any judge would think that a company with Samsung's international profile on the big world stage would chance the integrity of their hard-earned reputation.

Stranger things have happened though I suppose.

Think I might chance a few more quid. After all, the company does have some interesting irons glowering in the fire.

Much obliged!

that Block are now in the market for a new broker.

Why? Beats me.

What a complete load of tripe!!!

If any of you fellows on here are interested I can sell you as many shares as you would wish to buy in a new venture I am putting together with some really big hitters from the City...its a delightful looking swamp area situated deep inside Louisiana. Honestly...its absolutely brimming over and swimming with sweet crude.

Tennyson note? What a joke. Just like everything I have just mentioned also.

Unless this lot hit it big...then the only ones who will make serious money with Block are the ones with millions of shares. Even a fraction of a penny, when sold in great big chunks that is, will make good profit.

Not so great if your stock amounts to just several hundred thousands of shares though.

if the Judge announces not much chance of successful litigation?

A couple of weeks ago...I took a small position here. It was Nanoco's technology that initially attracted me to the company...not their on going legal wrangling with the mighty Samsung.

If the Judge views Nanoco's prospects as highly unlikely what effect will this have on the s.p?

Simply put...would it crash below ten pence?

Would its basic fundamentals continue to hold it up...or is the s.p totally reliant, in the short term, upon a favourable consideration by the Judge?

All the talk here is about this ruling. Just how much of an impact would an unfavourable ruling actually have?

Perhaps when they do get round to announcing the results they might well declare a dividend payment?

Still no statement regarding the reason for the Capital Reduction.

In fact, after they gave the paying out of a dividend as one possible option for executing the reduction in the first place, you would think, that, by now, they should have followed up with further clarification regarding the undertaking of the aforementioned.

But no. Just deadly silence. Not a peek. Zilch. Nada.

All rather irritating in all truthfulness.

the first either.

a bit rash perhaps.

I can feel another 48 hour ban coming on.

Ah well.

Won't be the last.

Is the fellow on drugs?

because if you HAD been invested here for 18 months or more you would know two most important things about this company.

1. It has reinvented itself more times than Harry Worth.
2. It has more twists than Harry's trumpet.

Believe what you like. But believe this also: anyone who invests really big here is not a speculator...just an out and out chancer.

And if you doubt the veracity of this friendly advice than please acquaint yourself with the many RNS's going back over the last several years. Its all there to see.

Cheers!

much obliged to you both for making the time and replying.

I do understand, albeit being a layman's basic understanding, about Capital Reduction...but what intrigues me most is that the company only intimated there was the option of paying out a dividend.

It was almost as if it were a fleeting thought that they had briefly considered...it certainly did not come across in the text (not to my way of thinking) as being very convincing that this was their actual reason for doing it.

To be perfectly frank, it just seemed to me as if the reference to a dividend that might or might not be paid out was just a carrot to keep shareholders happy, something to veil the real reason for this reduction.

And as of yet, several months down the line it has to be said, nothing.

Nothing pertaining to aforementioned dividend that is.

A little bit more transparency from this company would be much appreciated...by me for one, leastways.

Would that be rumours of a "Special" dividend?

I have always anticipated the likelihood of some sort of dividend being reinstated in the very near future and then being paid out come August...but 30 pence?

Doubtful. Not unless it is a one-off (Special) dividend.

This "SHOULD" be a game changer...but really quite surprised there has not been a bigger increase in the share price.

Still leaves the unanswered question(s) concerning the Capital Reduction.

Do some people know certain things the rest of us don't?

Great news...but a lacklustre response. Very peculiar all things considered.

lets hope it is not the ****!

will the s.p be fixed at for the fund raise then?

Perhaps they may sweeten it a bit with the offer of 2 shares for every one share bought?

Or maybe just disregard the longsuffering small individual investor altogether sounds more like it.

is a prefix that chosen shipping lines are entitled to use when under contract to deliver mail for Royal mail...they would revert back to using their former prefix "SS" if no longer under contract.

Therefore the Titanic was under contract at the time of her sinking...she was not owned by Royal Mail.

the fact is that the slow and persistent erosion in the s.p was initiated when the "Capital Reduction" was first announced.

And still no one has explained WHY this reduction was undertaken in the very first place.

A dividend was SUGGESTED by the Board...but, as of yet...not confirmed.

this latest RNS is about as good as we could have possibly hoped for.

Cannot, in all fairness, see what there is to complain about.

12,000,000 dollars will certainly keep the lights on for the foreseeable future.

Just click on the "Live RNS" button above...it is all there to read.

The relevant information does indeed state the money realized might be used to pay a dividend.

"Might" be used.

As of yet...nothing. And not a single word since from the company on this subject.

In fact the only sign of a pulse lately has been the slow but consistent eroding away of the share price.

Hardly very encouraging.

And all since that Capital Reduction.

Rather unsettling all of this.

Why the capital reduction?
