Cash shells: AIM's best-kept secret
Article Date: May 21 2009
Oliver Haill

Cash shells offer another way to float
Deciding to take your company public at the moment seems as eyebrow-raising a move as streaking at a national sporting event.

A cash shell might offer a more discreet solution. Essentially, a cash shell is a company with not much more than a stock market listing, some cash in the coffers and a director or two. It can provide a less risky route to the public markets than an initial public offering (IPO).

The Company announces that it has agreed to terminate the various agreements
entered into between the Alecto Energy Group and CSIRO in relation to the
commercialisation of CSIRO's hydrogen micro fuel cell technology ("PEM
Technology").

this thread is inspired by a post today by sipsop2

it explains the interest - just now - in cash shells on AIM:

"In the present nervous environment, cash shells are one of the few viable routes to market," asserts Rob Smith, serial AIM company finance director.

Smith finds the process of reversing into listed shells easier and cheaper than the traditional IPO, which on AIM  will cost about £500,000.

"You don't have to pay brokers for finding money, making the shell route slightly cheaper," he says. "And when you want to raise money by the traditional means, you have to see around 100 fund managers and potential investors.
"In the current market, with people sitting on their hands, you may have to see even more fund managers. The attraction of a cash shell is that you only have to persuade two or three people."

LONDON (AFX) - Hacas Group PLC said it is confident of exceeding its revenue
targets for the year as a whole after it raised first half pretax profit by 43
pct.
It said improved performance has continued in the second half which will
include a full six months contribution from SDP Regeneration Services.
The group also said that following the announcement made on May 16,
discussions are continuing which may lead to an offer being made for the group.
Pretax profit in the six months to March 31 2003 was 2.39 mln stg, up from
1.68 mln, on turnover of 8.14 mln compared with 6.82 mln.
Earnings per share grew to 5.56 pence from 3.87 pence and the interim
dividend was hiked 26 pct to 0.85 pence from 0.675 pence a year earlier.

Anyone with some information on the approach? This could see 2 pounds quickly...

[alex69] 17/5/2003 00:24

Huge surge today!

[gran] 16/5/2003 16:15

Now, this is what I call a good day!

[gran] 03/5/2003 08:46

Yes, this one has been dormant so long I'd almost given up looking at it. Must bode well for the results. We never have big purchases like this. They rarely disappoint.

[richardjo] 02/5/2003 22:14

Today's trades look interesting, given the run up to results.

[gran] 13/1/2003 08:53

Great Results. Back to £1.30 very soon I think. Onwards and upwards!

[bema] 03/1/2003 14:52

Well if they are indeed losing some former Chapman staff where are they going to go?Only to a lesser company.In my experience people who were carried by a former company can usually only last the pace for a limited time .People leaving are usually always accounted for in a merger /takeover it is part of the process.I still think they have a monopoly in this market and expect good profits to be announced in the coming weeks as usual.I personally would be disappointed if they did not excced the forecast (as in the past they do ).
Time will tell!

[gran] 20/12/2002 08:55

Merry Christmas to all HACAS holders!

[gran] 17/12/2002 14:02

what's all this then? Anyone have any views on this latest placing announcement?
