Quite unusual for a Director Dealing RNS to tell investors more about what is going on at a company than an RNS stating that its been put up for sale :-)

I have no idea but it may be that investors are nervous that company will be sold cheap but it is normal to be bought over at a premium price based on future earnings. .. last results were positive so this should be the case here too

Market cap here shown at 13m is TOTALLY INCORRECT !! It should read £ 1.6 M !! very misleading and would frighten away any prospective investor.

Just had a phone call from ?AFG?, they are canvassing shareholders on opinions of a possible takeover pitched at 7 to 8p per share. I always avoid such cold calls.
They are also doing an investor drive and would like me to join them - I politely told them that they would be driving without me!!
Maybe true but I suspect not.

I bought into this company because of the nightingale but the management at the time had no clue how to market it - they seemed to be relying on buyers beating down the doors wanting them or were on their yachts - the fact is that the units are too big - the case for airborne transmission of bugs is not proven, making the case for cleaning of the air also not proven - the tests set up were totally ineffectual.
The company all but went to the wall, saved only by a very large investor who did not want his investment to disappear - talk then was to sell off the IP of the nightingale and concentrate on the core business - they have done the latter and have done a good job of it - getting rid of useless directors. I don't think anything was done with the nightingale, so I suppose it is potentially still around.
If you want to know their plans for it why don't you contact the company and ask the question.
All imo

Today's Small Cap Report:

Elsewhere, Energy Technique gave away 1-3/4 pence to 13-1/2 pence as it
warned it expects trading in the second half of the year to be hurt by the
global credit crunch,
AND
After a late swing to a loss Worthington Nicholls Group recovered to close
0-1/4 a penny higher at 20-3/4 pence, where it had been for most of the day, as
investors appeared encouraged by news that David Levis, Stephen Mulligan and
Christopher Neilson have resigned as directors of the company with immediate
effect.
The air conditioning and heating systems group said it has appointed Rodney
Mann deputy chairman, Simon Beart chief executive and William Good as group
finance director.

Mystery calls to shareholders in SMG
Dan Sabbagh and Graham Searjeant

SMG shareholders are being targeted by what are believed to be fraudsters claiming to act for a potential acquiror who is offering to pay prices wildly in excess of the prevailing stock market price.

The Scottish media group, only recently the target of a genuine shareholder coup, has asked the Financial Services Authority (FSA) to investigate. Police action is possible, because the alleged fraudsters have obtained the company's shareholder register.

Last week private investors were called by a group called Carlton Hedges & Associates, which says that it is acting for a bidder apparently willing to pay between £9 and £17 a share. SMG's share price ended the week at 68p. The stock has not traded above 200p for at least five years.

The FSA said that it was not the first time that investors had been targeted by unscrupulous agents but previously only AIM stocks had been affected.

The approach to SMG shareholders is the first time that a company with a main market listing has been targeted.

The regulator estimates that investors have lost, on average, £20,000 as a result of fraud, although it is not clear in this case how SMG shareholders could end up duped, because those who contacted The Times simply refused to engage further.

One investor was told by Carlton Hedges that they had institutional shares amounting to "49 per cent of the company" and needed to get to 51 per cent and control by buying from private investors. The caller insisted on confidentiality, and warned that they if they did not receive a quick acceptance, the remaining stock would be "virtually worthless".

To boost credibility, Carlton Hedges has its own website, although it does not name any individuals employed by the firm. It gives a Wall Street address and a phone number, although calls were not returned.

SMG has put up a warning notice on its own website.

just found this:

Beware the new boiler room
Michael Clarke, This is Money
15 September 2006

Shareholders are being warned to be on their guard against a new type of fraud emerging from boiler room operators.

Certificate shareholders in some of the UK's biggest companies are being contacted by fraudsters and being offered vastly inflated prices for their holdings.

The shareholders are usually told that a private investor is attempting to build up a large stake in a particular company, but doesn't want the main market to know. Shareholders in Diageo, BT and Balfour Beatty have all been targeted.

A spokeswoman for the Financial Services Authority, the City watchdog, said: 'We are not sure what the boiler rooms are attempting to do here. They could be trying to get an upfront fee from the shareholder for administration costs or they could be attempting to obtain personal bank details.
'However, we would advise shareholders to be on their guard against these calls and always treat cold calls with suspicion.'

Boiler rooms traditionally attempt to sell investors shares in fictitious companies or firms where the shares are highly illiquid and impossible to trade. However, it is feared they are now finding new ways of defrauding people.
Peter Hartley, a retired civil servant from Chester, recently received a call from a US company offering to buy his BT shares for £10.75 each.
