Sharescope shows broker forecast for KURA as follows:-

Year to 1/9/08

Profit: £4.0m
EPS: 17.10
T/o: £17.7m

Year to 1/9/09

Profit: £8.40
EPS: 34.10
T/o: £28.7m

Year to 1/9/10

Profit: £15.6
EPS: 63.60
T/o: £43.0m


This all sounds very optimistic. However, when you look at today's first deal, which should be worth several million, it seems very possible. Particularly when they plan to ramp up production to 60,000 m3 by mid 2008.

Does anyone have access to the broker forecast?

M&C,

You think there are a lot of T traders in KURA? Can't see it myself.

How much wood has their "main business" sold into the far east, china etc? I read it that the UK market is dead so the new hope is the far east etc. I missed the bit about sales into those regions, looks to me like a shift of focus, with a view to maybe gaining sales whilst having thus far sold nothing.

Can't see the appeals myself.

Problem IMO is that KURA is still a blue sky stock. Ok in a bull market but very different now. Blue sky stocks with question marks over funding are being hammered hard. It seems harsh, but when you have profitable AIM companies on such low multiples, how can you value poorly funded companies with low sales, selling into a weak sector any other way?

If only KURA came to market 3 years ago. They could have got away to a flying start by opening up sales channels into bouyant markets. Had that happened you would have been able to add zero to todays price for sure.

I agree that it is good to see the directors stance as outlined today. I hope that it will be enough.

M+C surprised to hear your post sounding pretty positive, although as you say we only have the RNS to go on. Takes me back to holding NSB about 5-6 years ago when I see your name!

Results out today. Revenue for half year to 31st March is zero. Can only improve from there. One assumes that the forecasts produced last year are completely out of the question. I do not blame them for avoiding using the 'below expectations' description because the share price would have dropped 20p instead of going up a penny.

There is no mention of the Robbins contract, which is most disappointing. Have they lost it? Is it delayed? We may never know.

Grant of Patent (Kurawood)




Kurawood PLC

("Kurawood" or "the Company")

Grant of Patent

Kurawood is pleased to announce publication of its first UK patent application
to protect the ability of any modified non-engineered softwood to be powder
coated.

The patent extends the full range of substrates able to be powder coated
including the Company's VecowoodTM. The research leading to the patent
application was driven by the fact that natural timber, from a species such as
pine, when impregnated with Kurawood's proprietary VecoTM formulation, imparts
certain properties to the resultant VecowoodTM which improve the ability of the
powder coating to adhere to its surface. One such benefit of this is that, like
powder coated Aluminium and uPVC, powder coated VecowoodTM products items such
as window frames and doors can be provided with similar service life guarantees
whilst being manufactured from renewable materials. This breakthrough process
fits well with one of the elements of the UK Government's Code for Sustainable
Homes, which seeks to promote the use of resources, such as solid wood, that
are more sustainable and environmentally friendly than their Aluminium, uPVC or
even engineered wood counterparts.

Powder coating is regarded as a highly durable, decorative and long lasting
finish and is available in virtually any colour, (including transparent), or
finish, (matte or smooth). It is widely regarded to be scratch resistant and
ecologically friendly. Whilst powder coating started out as a finish for
metal-based products, advances in the technology have led to the ability to
cure the finish at lower temperatures which opened the door to ceramics,
plastics and certain engineered wood such as MDF and particleboard, and now
VecowoodTM is the first modified solid wood to be able to be successfully
treated with powder coating.

Roy Tilleard, CEO of Kurawood, said:

"Ownership of intellectual property rights protecting our ability to have
VecowoodTM powder coated guarantees the Company a certain degree of exclusivity
and thereby a higher market share as the products and services we offer gain
greater acceptance among consumers. We are actively looking to form long-term
commercial relationships with a number of national and international
manufacturers of solid wood window frames, doors and other external and
internal applications in order to turn this technical breakthrough to
commercial reality."

The Company intends to apply for extensive international protection of this
patent via subsequent patent applications under the auspices of the Patent
Co-Operation Treaty.

KURA drifting lower due to a lack of news of sales contracts, they need to convert interest into sales soon, especially in these markets.

These would be bargin if they were to deliver the forecast earnings, it appears that the market has doubts. Demand for timber products must surely be softening.

Happpy to continue watching Kurawood from the sidelines.
