Regarding Bede, Mazor said: "As a public company they were unsuccessfully managed and lost money. Led by the administrators, they moved to a status of viable business, and this enabled us to buy them, a step that will result efficiencies in volume, channel and sales."

Pretty damning. Interesting to see that Intel owns 30% of Jordan Valley. It will also be interesting for shareholders to see what price was achieved. As JV describes them as "a viable business", it appears that BEDE has been bought as a going concern.

it's very useful to have a stop loss. if the price drops 15% from the high then sell it (no matter what). you will noticre that fund managers do this and that the shareholders register changes significantly after the 1st profit warning. they have all sold out.

that way you can preserve your capital.

This policy enable me to exit AVON and James Beattie and reinvest in others such as Inspicio, Carrs Milling and Senior Engineering.

It's not always foolproof. I was stopped out of Vardy and missed the takeover.

All the best.

PS have a look at SNR, AVN and COT.

Well, fat lady is having her glass of water and waiting in the wings.

Any offer would be 'substantially below' current share price - if not accepted by end March the company runs out of cash. They are over a barrel and there's a big man with a very large hot poker aimed at the nether regions.

Not going to give an estimate but 'substantially' normally means at least 50% below. Good luck to anyone left holding

I agree - it had to be a single large sell as the market has been quite orderly since then.
I just wonder what the actual situation is with Bede? Are they likely to get any new contracts? I'm keeping some funds in reserve just in case, as at this price they could be a steal if they show any sign of recovery.

mm's stuck with loads from yesterday, impending placing at price below current share price

Take your pick.

The point is ....is that anyone who buys this stock risks losing their entire investment as there is clearly a high risk (supported by the view of KPMG) and highlighted by the massive decline in share price that the recivers will be called in!!

1.Estimate - 3rd Qtr - 26 Oct - not confirmed.
2.Who knows? Only if bid is based on prospects two years out.
3.Cash is tight.If Bede had another £1-2m in bank market would relax and concentrate more on future potential:X-ray becoming metrology of choice with nodes shrinking to 45nm;Bede's tools being used in-line hopefully sometime in 2008.

I agree that Bede "has fantastic products with enormous potential".Hopefully shareholders will be patient as just one or two in-line tool orders in 2008 would transform the company and the share price would rocket.

I have just very recently bought shares in Bede. I was previously a shareholder for a brief period in 2005 but watched them fall from my purchase price of around 35p to 19p before I sold out after disappointing results.

I like the company and I think it has fantastic products with enormous potential. But they need to deliver good results on a consistent basis. I think the shares are ridiculously cheap at present.

I have some questions which I hope someone can maybe answer:-

1. When are the next quarterly results due?
2. What are people's expectations for the conclusion of the prelim talks? For
shareholder value, is it better that Bede is bought out now or given a
chance to prosper and grow on it's own in the longer term?
3. What is fair value for Bede based on previous results/most recent trading
statement?

Sorry for my questions but any answers would be appreciated. Thank you

Statement regarding movement in share price


The Board of Bede notes the movement in the Company's share price and confirms
that it is in preliminary discussions with certain parties which may or may not
lead to an offer being made for the Company.

A further announcement will be made in due course.

Might be of some interest. From the Cambridge Evening News.


Seeking out stocks ripe for recovery is never an easy task and more often than not is fraught with an extra dose of risk.

Likewise, buying a share at what you perceive to be the bottom has a nasty habit of catching you out, as the price inevitably drops further before you even have time to close your wallet.

So, with that in mind, it is with a large degree of caution that I home in on one speculative stock which, if it continues to progress, could bring some excellent gains.

Bede, based in Durham and originally a spin out from the city university is a company that has seen its shares in terminal decline for years. Although at one point, back in 2002, the shares reached the dizzy heights of 180p, they now hover at 4p, giving the company a market cap of just £3.5m.

Of course, it's a familiar story here, business became tough, anticipated orders slow to materialise resulting in mounting losses.

It is also fair to say that there have been many false dawns for this manufacturer of specialist tools servicing the semiconductor industry.

But maybe, just maybe, this time real progress is being made and a move into profit could at long last become a reality.

Although its most recent trading announcement revealed continued losses, the good news was that its order book had doubled, new customers had been won, while broker, Evolution, is boldly anticipating profits next year.

However, many investors that have been burnt from past dalliances with Bede shares will quickly point out that strange feeling of déjà vu, hence my caution at the outset.

But, with a new chief exec in place as of last month and, more interestingly, recent share purchases by institutions, I am tempted to take a small punt myself at the current levels.

Institutions involved in buying over recent months have been Hermes, which holds stock for the BT pension scheme and Royal Mail, Advance AIM Value Realisation Fund along with Barclays Bank.

As for the business itself, turnover for last year came in at just below £6m, while the board has said it's making it a priority to growing sales over the coming years, thus paving the way for the long awaited profits. Although much of Bede's portfolio of tools are complex, being described as X-ray metrology products, in layman's terms they amount to giving an absolute and precise measurement of semiconductor material properties and are able to pinpoint defects in microchips.

While the company continues to be UK-based it has offices in both the US and China and almost all its sales are derived from overseas, where it is well known for having supplied the likes of Intel and Tokyo Electron. Despite already boasting a broad range of products on offer, it is also true to its roots in that it remains active in research and the ongoing development of new tooling.

With a current market cap of just £3.5m, Bede looks far from expensive at current levels given the current climate on sales. However, although the balance sheet shows a cash level of around £1m, Bede needs to keep a tight rein on its burn rate and demonstrate that it can move into a sustainable cash flow positive position sooner rather than later.
