Slight improvement today on higher than usual trade quantities. Perhaps Some portfolios are taking this stock on this month for the medium-long hold?

Dec. Int: I first bought in December 2010 at 34p and have been topping up periodically since. My holding is now at an average price of 16p, so Hopefully will be in the black soon...

Bought these for the EezyMunny portfolio today. FWIW.

Todays interims appear to back up my earlier post in September, with increases in revenue "across all key global territories", up 74% compared to the same period last year (UK up 77%) and 62% compared to the preceding 6 months. It's my understanding that the general price of Radiata Pine clears from New Zealand has been falling over recent months (in NZD terms), which should be positive for the group, provided the EUR does not fall further against the NZD. The supply of many species of tropical wood, used for the likes of joinery, has been tight, for various reasons, with resultant generally rising prices, which should further raise demand for alternatives. Hopefully we will see sales & revenue continue to improve.

Friend of mine who works for one of the UK distributors says that Accoya product is currently flying out of the door, picking up more market share! Let's hope the momentum continues...

[gerri-c] 02/8/2013 08:41

Based on prices offered trades going through earlier today are buys although seeming like sells.

[irenekent] 30/7/2013 12:25

Nice to see the price recovering. Looks like things are starting to happen.

given up this thread, accsys must be editing my posts!

If you look at www.woodwindowalliance.com you will see that window manufacturers use new(ish) timber treatments that mean outside timber frames can last 30 years plus.

Like I have said over and over here, its the price stupid.

The Tricoya/Medite stuff thats interesting, mdf takes up water, when it doesn't its worth more.

Accoya really gets it worth in or nearly in water, decking, bridges, sills, even flooring for bathrooms.

Eventually, maybe not too distant future, this will sell, prices for timber are going up all the time, hardwoods that is, one day treated softwoods will meet hardwoods.

The only problem is that hardwood doesn't take as long as you may think to grow, some species are harvestable in 8 years. It depends how thick you want to start with before you saw. ie: what you want this timber to make. With lamination you can use relatively thin sections and engineered is better than solid in virtually any application. Check out glulam for instance.

my own business uses LVL cores in construction of stiles. Stiles are window upright sections.You don't want these to warp or shrink, certainly within guarantee periods. LVL = laminated veneered lumber. Its very thin

Surely it would be in builders interests to use softwood for replacement windows. Fitting Accoya or hardwood means they have no chance to replace them in twenty years. It would be a bit like turkeys voting for Christmas. Mind you whats the name of the MD?

[brightontrader] 08/5/2013 14:17

asmodeus, no idea on medite sales sorry, bob5, don't beleive everything you read, if the majority of replacement timber sash was using Accoya the share price would be £1+.....

[asmodeus] 21/4/2013 19:26

Brighton Trader - are you, or is anyone else, able to tell us whether "medite", water-resistant MDF, is selling well now?

I just got an investment 'flyer' in my inbox. Promoting this company.

"This company performs alchemy

Dear xxxxxxxxxxxxx,

The path from a great product idea to a commercial success is full of potholes, a fact many penny share investors fail to understand. No company provides a better illustration than ACCSYS TECHNOLOGIES (AXS), and judging by a recent research note by the broker, Peel Hunt, the end of the journey is still some way off.

I like companies with a simple business proposition. Accsys certainly offers this. Builders almost invariably use softwood, which is cheap but doesn't last long. Hardwood holds up better but is expensive, takes decades rather than years to grow, and comes from precious rain forests.

So why not turn softwood into hardwood? The timber trade has two approaches to this. One is to compress the softwood under heavy weight. The alternative is to coat it with tar-like chemicals, providing a layer of protection against the weather. Neither is ideal. But, according to Peel Hunt, the majority of replacement sash windows fitted in London today are made from a new type of hardwood, made by Accsys.

They call it Accoya. It has a lot of the properties of expensive natural hardwoods, but at much lower cost. Wood contains chemical groups called free hydroxyls that absorb and release water, causing wood to swell and shrink... and eventually rot. By combining the wood with a mix of chemicals free hydroxyls change into acetyl groups. This makes the wood much more stable and robust. Any child who has dipped a conker in vinegar has basically done the same thing!"

That's BT, I will contact you soon. Have a good weekend. Tight lines.

[brightontrader] 22/3/2013 08:44

Spudders

I am peter at shaftesburys.co.uk

[spudders] 19/3/2013 18:10

Hi BT, I still hold AXS but written off ever breaking even. I lack the enthusiasm to research this crock of ##### anymore as my time is best spent elsewhere.

I would love to come over and cast a few flies within the next few weeks. I am hopefully handing over a house to my client soon, so I will get in touch and arrange a date. I assume I will contact you via rodeo rivers or I can put up my email if its easier.

All the best, spudders

Was in Hong Kong last week and heard a rumour (good source) that Diamond Wood was going or had already, gone bust...

Diamond was their agent over there I think in practice, a license holder.

anyone still reading this board may like to comment, I am not doing the in depth research here that I used to do so am out of touch.

Spudders, if you want to come over for the start of the brown season there are some good over wintered fish beginning to rise to dry fly plus I put some carp in the main lake to keep the weed down, these take a nymph and can be a surprise on a 5# rod...

[brightontrader] 12/12/2012 11:52

Actually its the Shortbridge River that runs into the Ouse 1/2 mile above the Uck, and the Batts Stream joins on the property, thats where the sea trout run up into, and here too, some over 10lbs.

There are a few surprise fish in the lake that will take a fly to keep it interesting, one is 70lbs +..........so bring a decent rod. You can contact me through

[spudders] 29/11/2012 18:54

bt - Certainly will check in next spring, I assume its the Uck that runs through. Many happy days in my youth fishing Isfield Mill/ Worth Farm :)) Be lucky.

[brightontrader] 29/11/2012 12:20

SPudders, you must have seen my flyforum posts as yes, I do have some lakes but I live there so they are not open to public but I do invite local fly fishers over. the main lake 8 acres, is stocked with browns mainly but has a good run of sea trout as its actually a dammed section of an Ouse tributary, the others are cropping lakes, mainly carp and tench and not fished at all, apart from by cormorants.

Its closed season now but check me out in the spring when the dry fly is best.

[spudders] 22/11/2012 18:37

bt- Yep still here with my heavy loss. Still hold though. Lost interest in AXS just check in every now and then. I believe you have a lake which you have stocked with trout, if its a day ticket maybe next season I could have a go at hooking a couple of rainbows, much more fun than watching the AXS share price.
I hope you make a decent living from your exports. All the best, spudders

[brightontrader] 16/11/2012 11:07

Looky, thanks, have been in touch, similar products in timber, slightly different features, pricing very similar.
