Waterloo, you have a point regarding fund raising however the market and investors should be aware of it and priced into the share price .IMO.

At least it's out in the open and not going to be a shock to the Market.

I think it could be an interesting 2017/18 for C21

[waterloo01] 14/11/2016 16:49

vfast, yes agree re TW, but he does have a point that's worth remembering re what the company have said about the need for cash. The renewed framework agreement is good news, as is Gatwick, but it represents £200k a year starting next year with unknown costs, so I think TW caution is appropriate. They will almost certainly raise funds soon.

[vfast] 14/11/2016 16:32

I agree Dealit also OFJ Connections are in Heathrow, London City and Southampton Airports as well as Gatwick.

C21 have got there foot in the door of what could work out to be a substantial amount of business.

Fingers crossed!

[dealit] 14/11/2016 14:07

The thing that I like is where the contract is i.e. Gatwick Airport. If the IT solution works well, will other major Airports be interested to install a C21 solutions. The share price may move North quickly on contract news, not a massive amount of shares in issue 90m+ IMHO

Yes, I struggled to buy 50,000 earlier today with Barclays. Wanted more!

[vfast] 14/11/2016 09:16

MM's have no stock...they will sell only 100 shares a 3.25p and will buy 350000 at 2.71p. Infor Barclays online platform.

Edit 10 36am MM's on the bid at 2.88p for 350000 shares and sell 100 at 3.25p. still pressure for the share price to move further.

[vfast] 14/11/2016 08:58

Yes, the tide has turned and starting to look very good. Can't see why this shouldn't move to 4p to 6p in the short term and that is a conservative estimate.

Another contract win and hoping to hear more good news before the end of the year.

Good refinancing package will also be beneficial for the share price as well.

[weatherman] 14/11/2016 07:47

With a flow of good news these could go up 4x to 10p and still be cheap.

[philjeans] 14/11/2016 07:45

It all helps - shares should continue to recover to the 5p mark.

[qut] 14/11/2016 07:11

Safe to say C21 are moving in the right direction - last week, a contract renewal of existing business; this week, new business

[dealit] 08/11/2016 16:38

That is a really encouraging sign indeed, sad to say but true these investors know things we as small investors do not IMHO.

[qut] 08/11/2016 15:37

[philjeans] 08/11/2016 14:52

Hmmm, they're confident - now up to 5%.

[vfast] 08/11/2016 14:41

Fingers crossed Qut. This one could move quickly if they grow the business next year and move into profit, 6/8p a share is not out of the question. imo

Herbert Stuart Bottomley & Mrs Hanna Bottomley are still buying.

[qut] 07/11/2016 15:13

vfast, C21 has a foothold in Sweden

[vfast] 07/11/2016 08:50

From the statement today "Arriva UK Bus is part of the Arriva Group, owned by Deutsche Bahn, which has transport operations across 14 European countries".

It would be interesting if C21 could get a foot hold in Deutsche Bahn other transport business a cross Europe however as far as I'm aware C21 has no infrastructure in that part of the world but the pound drop against the Euro may look attractive to any potential bids.

May be just wishful thinking! But I do believe the tide now is starting to turn in our favour!

[qut] 07/11/2016 08:46

Yes, just as important for them to maintain and build on existing business as it is to win new clients

[philjeans] 07/11/2016 07:54

Yes very important to keep that business - well done c21.

[qut] 07/11/2016 07:52

Good news!!

[vfast] 07/11/2016 07:22

Hope this is just the start of C21 contract wins!

Dealit, read the interim results...."Operating Review" and "Outlook" you will find that new products/technology being integrated along with their other operations.

It is a criminal offence for Directors to trade with inside information so as the Directors have stated in the interim results (see below 20th Sept 2016) it would place them in a awkward position! Plus we don't know what else the Directors may know at this stage!

20th Sept 2016
"In the Fleet Systems business the award in August of the five-year First Bus contract renewal has allowed more focus on a number of framework agreements, bids and tenders which are currently under negotiation and we are becoming increasingly confident of growth in 2017 and beyond".

Refer Statement on 10th Oct 2016
Moving the Company's registered office to Ashby-de-la-Zouch, I believe is a smart move which will help them gain contacts they are negotiating for.

All starting to look very good IMO.

[dealit] 23/10/2016 15:49

The markets are all about growth and if C21 have the only product on the market offering this type of technology, I would feel top up time is here IMHO. I have had a quick look on the web site and I can not find any info on this solar powered product, have the Board kept it quite. Plus no Directors have topped up of late which would be a positive sign for the share price future rise.
