2-page cover story ("Tasty Profits - The future of artificial meat") in this week's Moneyweek magazine. A fair summary of the collapse in meat-free alternatives and the long road ahead for cultured meat. Concludes under the sub-head "What to buy" with -

"British investors are able to gain access via investment firm Agronomics (Aim: ANIC). The fund spreads the risk across stakes in more than 20 businesses... Yet this is a volatile sector and the shares are off three-quarters since a 2021 high as investors’ enthusiasm diminishes... While performance has been disappointing and the risks are high, the shares are still worth a punt as an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of the food of the future..."

Agree and I think that is in fact going to be key for all of ANICs portfolio. BlueNalu is possibly the most advanced with commercial opportunities.There are a couple of key factors to keep in mind with Liberation Labs. Firstly, they are still building the factory and I think may be doing or about to do a fundraiser. Secondly, once they are built if there is a precision fermentation company on the planet that is looking to upscale, they will have no choice but to go to Liberation Labs.Factor one tells us why the share price is and will continue to nose dive and factor two tells us why ANIC are poised to become quite the prospect. I say poised but what I mean is early 2025. Until then, hold off or like bruised investors such as myself look for the bottom then average. They are not going anywhere for at least a decade.

Id not heard of ITX before, really interesting company. I see your point and think it does make sense, especially around meat and especially in the US. The declining share price will most definitely have been impacted by the bible belt reaction. Unlike ITX of course, ANIC are not revenue creating at the moment.And in terms of the notion of consumer uptake, ANIC are not reliant on meat and both Mellon and Chow are upfront about the notion that lab meat is a 10 yeqr hence thing. The media just carried away following Good meat and Upside approvals last year.I think that because of interest rates investors are rightly nervous about AIM at the moment and wont care or even notice ANIC until sometime next year when Liberation Labs is operational Meatly have upscalled and they realise BlueNalu works.If you are in ANIC now you are 5 years early to the party

I agree that it pays to be diligence and we are investing in a brand new sector. In fact not even new, it is a nascent sector.But I think as you note, what can we actually conclude about the company if/when the share buyback debacle passes? Like you, I dont know and whilst it may irk investors it does not change the status of the companies in their portfolio. Many of which are primed to go commercial in 2025.Then if nothing else ADVFN boards are the place to blow of steam about the companies in which we invest and I am grateful to you for that on this ppint.As a thought, why not submit a Q for the April 23rd Anthony Chow presentation.

Be careful.

The fees levied by Shellbay on ANIC can be very high indeed for such a small fund and can have a big impact on a small balance-sheet either through depletion of cash reserves or significant shareholder dilution.

And I don't yet know what to think about those situations where privately held New Agrarian Company Limited (IoM), is a co-investor alongside ANIC in the same company.

So when I see a headline RNS announcement about a major Share Buy Back Program which they don't promptly act upon, I don't like it and my antennae start whirring.

...or what might bolster investor confidence in the Company AND THE SHARE-PRICE - is if they pulled the trigger on the October six month Share Buy Back Program which expires in ten days time.

the stated intentions of the SBP could not have been clearer.

And if there had ever been a time to buy back shares, it has been in the past few weeks when the share price has repeatedly been flirting with multi-year lows since early 2021.

In my view, this speaks to the integrity/reliability or otherwise of announcements.

Cellular agriculture can potentially address many of the world’s most pressing problems including greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution & shortages, deforestation, misallocation of land use, ocean health, animal cruelty, antibiotic resistance and climate change. Agronomics is currently the UK’s only listed vehicle providing investors with exposure to a concentrated portfolio investing exclusively in this field. The Company's strategy is to create value for Shareholders through investing in companies that operate in the nascent industry of cellular agriculture, which are environmentally friendly alternatives to the traditional production of meat, fish and plant-based sources.

!

Agronomics is focused on this industry and has screened over 400 companies, investing only in the most promising start-ups. A massive flow of capital is anticipated to enter the sector in the coming decade led by the necessity to improve supply chain resilience, price stability and nation-states seeking food security. Estimates from Grandview Research and Statista, project the global food system as currently worth over US$ 2 trillion.

Jim Mellon, Chairperson of Agronomics Limited, commented:

"This financial year has been another strong year of growth for Agronomics and has seen significant progress made across our diverse portfolio within the field of cellular agriculture. We have made investments in new and existing portfolio companies across three main areas; cultivated meat and material, precision fermentation and enabling technologies.

Our conservative valuation methodology leads us to believe that there is significant intrinsic value within our portfolio, and we remain well positioned to identify attractive opportunities in the sector. Agronomics has maintained its strong cash position to ensure reserves to support existing portfolio companies where we have high levels of conviction. However, we have also participated in select new deals as investment and commercial progress continues to develop across the sector. We recognise the persistent market turmoil and whilst this reflects the wider macroeconomic environment, we maintain our optimism for the cellular agriculture field.

During the year, the industry also made significant progress and saw the first approval of cultivated meat product in the US by the FDA and USDA. This was a landmark event for the field of cultivated meat and moves us further along the path to full scale commercialisation. We look forward to further approvals from within Agronomics' leading portfolio of companies and we expect to start seeing regulatory approvals across our portfolio in major protein categories from 2024.

The portfolio continues to show great robustness in the market downturn, as shown by the number of funding rounds that continue to be achieved with uplifts. We have to address the nature of venture capital, and the likelihood of sector consolidation in the near term, as category leaders are identified.

We believe our current investment portfolio contains many of these category leaders and shows considerable promise for future growth, particularly given the scale of opportunity for the cellular agriculture sector. The Board will also continue to seek new opportunities in line with its Investing Policy, and we look forward to the future with confidence."
