Tyratech Share Discussion Threads

So now a 30k buy has them moving the bid from 2.6p to 3p.

With so few shares now in existence this could get rather volatile.

[michaelsadvfn] 11/1/2018 14:50

I'll never figure out how these market makers arrive at their prices.

Yesterday they were bidding 2.9p, along came 2x250k buys at 3 & 3.1p

One would think they would hold the bid at 2.9p but today it's 2.6p yet there have been no sells.

I'm trying to find some logic in there but there is none !!!

Note to all shareholders -
Do not forget to get your broker to send in the proxy VOTING FOR THE RESOLUTION TO SELL VAMOUSSE - ASAP otherwise under Delaware law and the Articles a failure to vote will be considered a vote AGAINST - See page 18 of the notice.


"The Resolution will require a simple majority of the Common Shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the date of the Special Meeting. Shareholders are not being asked to vote at the Special Meeting to approve the Tender Offer. However, the Tender Offer will only proceed if completion of the Disposal takes place. Because approval of the Disposal requires a simple majority of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, if you do not vote (either by returning your proxy or attending the Special Meeting and voting in person), it is the same as a vote AGAINST the Disposal.

Thegrumpster,

Bruno Jactel joined Tyratech at the start of 2013 and decided it was high time they started to commercialise their IP.

Just pointing that out like.

This has to be one of the most disappointing shares on AIM. They just do not seem to be able to make a go of anything.

Used to be in this one years and years ago (2009? Pre TYRU) Actually made a bit of money when everything on AIM was going up. Got out because of some "dodgy" fund was involved (supposedly known for lending money, then pulling the plug)...they've gone.
And there were too few trades....first person to sell crashed the share price.
The University also seemed to be sliding out quietly....didn't seem to take part in additional fundraising, and they're not short of a bob or two.
Lack of faith in their own technology, or the people running the company?

The opportunities for their products are still out there.

This for example, still relevant:



""According to Edinburgh University's Centre for Tropical Medicine, midges respond to the combination of chemicals - including lactic acid - present in the sweat of certain people, which they detect via their highly sensitive antennae.

Research is focusing on the development of a repellent that can block receptor sites on midge antennae, but until such a product becomes available, those of us who are vulnerable must find other ways to manage the midges."

"....It is estimated that midges cost the Scottish tourist industry up to £268 million a year in lost revenue, because many avoid visits during midge season. A forestry study carried out in the mid-1980s also suggested that 20 per cent of working days were lost because clouds of biting midges make timber felling and tree planting nigh impossible.""

£268 million ten years ago.

What are they losing now with the low pound, and the UK being a cheap destination for holidays?

Midges?



2007 Tyratech 480p +20 Questor says Buy (Those were the days ....480 pee)



"The arrival in the UK of the bluetongue virus this week, blown into the country by midges, served as a useful reminder than insect bites are not just a pain in the proverbial. They can devastate farmers' livelihoods and have brought animal movements across East Anglia to a complete halt.

So it was particularly timely for Tyratech to publish its maiden results yesterday. The start-up (it listed on Aim this summer) is among a new breed of companies creating technology that should help create potent pesticides out of natural materials.

It has located a number of receptors in parasites and insects that react to natural products. While this has been done before, the results have not always been totally effective. Tyratech claims to have taken the development a stage further, so that its plant-based products are now more powerful than chemical rivals.

The potential benefits are enormous. Tyratech's natural products do less damage to the environment – increasingly important –as well as offering an alternative against insects that have developed a resistance to traditional products.

What is more, as the receptors in insects are not found in mammals, the pesticides are literally fit to drink, and Tyratech is hoping to develop products that can combat intestinal parasites.

As an investment case, the potential is clear but the risks are great. Tyratech's products are novel and it does not have a proven track record. The shares trade on a multiple of 30 times forecast earnings for 2009 (the first year it is expected to make a profit) falling to five times for 2011. It is not one for short-term investors or the risk-averse, but for others it's worth a punt."

Seem to remember it was only about 30,000 shares sold, that brought it finally down to about 12p, in 2008, when things started looking ropey.



They've even got a product.


Hopeless innit.

So did you have another splurge then, pre the two big dips.

[nobbygnome] 04/7/2017 16:41

Well it can't be seen as bad news! How on earth is this company only valued at 5-6 million. At some point there will be a rerating so it will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow!

An interesting RNS. The mini advantages set out in the announcement all seem fair enough, including a welcome boost to working capital. The potential longer term advantage is if -- big, big, if -- the products come to market and are successful, it should generate significant interest in the TYR technology across the piece. TYR has been here before with direct arrangements with big names (Kraft and Novartis Animal Health), without anything coming of it, but I hope that the repeated bites by these global players will eventually deliver value to TYR shareholders.

[michaelsadvfn] 04/7/2017 11:06

Overhang gone and up she goes. No.3 on the risers list.

[michaelsadvfn] 01/6/2017 12:33

Someone joining me I see. Yes mudbath, I can live with it, I'm in for the long haul so it doesn't bother me.

I'm wondering when we'll get this Vamousse valuation. It should cover the whole market cap and then some.

[mudbath] 01/6/2017 12:05

That had to be a good manoeuvre michael,even though it hits your portfolio valuation in the short term.

[michaelsadvfn] 01/6/2017 10:46

Nice 1.5m buy, unless the mm's are hiding the other half of a rollover.

475k left by my calcs, and they aren't wrong. Any further buying should see this marked back up. 0.94 offered.

I just flipped 100k TYRU into 150k TYR.

[michaelsadvfn] 26/5/2017 11:10

2 more late 250k trades. 2.1m left.

[michaelsadvfn] 26/5/2017 11:06

All was explained by our CEO in this interview...



Vamousse would never generate sufficient funds on it's own to support the rollout of Animal Health products which is where the serious money can be made. That's why.

Vamousse is growing fast, OutSmart looks like another winner but the market is quite small($100m pa IIRC), Guardian got rave reviews and the PureScience products are being sold to the largest players in the U.S.A.

The potential is there but the company is too small to go it alone so we will probably end up with multiple partners. At what cost I have no idea.

[voiceofreason] 26/5/2017 10:32

This company has never made a profit. It has a seemingly good product, Vamousse. Why doesn't it just concentrate on developing that. Get the group to a position where it makes a profit and grow the business from that? Or does it think it can keep coming to market for more money? This restructuring thing is just another chance for it to raise more money, looks like to me.

Should I be tempted at these prices? Just been offered 1.65p for 10,000 shares on H-L.

[michaelsadvfn] 26/5/2017 09:43

Pity the buying has dried up.

2.6m to be cleared so I wouldn't expect any share price recovery until that has gone.

[mudbath] 25/5/2017 11:33

It is possible to sell TYR shares in size @ 0.9 this morning.

[michaelsadvfn] 24/5/2017 19:16

3.5m to clear then.

Obviously an institution throwing away other people's money so it doesn't matter. I wonder whether these fund managers are so sloppy with their own money?

[pugugly] 24/5/2017 18:35

6,625,000 sold at 0.75p recorded late - mark no 20. Nice business for the MM.

[mudbath] 24/5/2017 16:16

4,662,895 TYR shares bought today so far, with no recorded sales.Restrictions on Transfer of the Company’s Securities

During the distribution compliance period such common shares may only be traded through the delivery of physical certificates outside of the United States in offshore transactions to non-US Persons and otherwise in compliance with the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. Common shares subscribed and held by non-affiliates of the Company will be eligible to have the restrictive legend removed from their certificates representing such shares following the first anniversary of the issue of such shares and, on completion of an appropriate letter of transmittal available from the Company for migration of such shares to the Company’s unrestricted line of stock. A depositary interest facility is available that permits trades in shares in the Company’s unrestricted line of stock to be settled electronically through CREST rather than by delivery of physical certificates.

Mud ..thanks for that
