Rise got stopped at the 200 day MA line so I expect this to fall on lack of news over coming days.

I would probably wait 5-10 days before looking to maybe pick some up around 0.6p?

[swong21118] 11/10/2013 18:12

Thanks Howard...

[29howard] 11/10/2013 15:35

[swong21118] 11/10/2013 15:26

[29howard] 11/10/2013 15:14

UKMassy

Only got online, buyers only 0.83p to buy cannot sell online

[ukmassy] 11/10/2013 15:04

Level 2 anyone?

[29howard] 11/10/2013 15:03

Been checking limits, if you want to play you cannot wait until it is moving
up because they will not offer stock online, you have to gamble and buy while
it's weak and dropping, good luck to those who do gamble.

[swong21118] 11/10/2013 14:55

If I wanna invest in the company, I dun think I would put my money in now, I would wait until it settles a little bit. Buying at high instead of selling at high. Some People are very funny....

[29howard] 11/10/2013 14:43

Look at the idiot bottle traders, buy at 0.97p, bottle it and sell on the shake

[dontshootthemessenger] 11/10/2013 14:32

Hmm that's why I'm trying to research the 'next' ones before the next ones have news and get chased. See Stockologists CR thread where we can discuss some of these stocks.

great company projects, pity about the funding.

Further dilution inevitable. It's a capital intensive business.

Funding

The Company announced on 28 March 2013 that it had raised GBP400,000 through a convertible loan note issued to the Company's largest shareholder. The purpose of the loan note was to fund Kedco's ongoing development and working capital requirements. In the context of the Company's continued ongoing losses, the Board has recognised the need to supplement the Company's cash resources both for its projects and ongoing working capital requirements. Accordingly, the Directors have instituted measures to preserve cash and discussions with providers of finance are on-going to secure additional funding in order for the Company to continue with its activities and its planned development program. To this end, the Company has applied for and received advanced assurance from HM Revenue and Customs that the Company qualifies for Venture Capital Trust ("VCT") and Enterprise Investment Scheme ("EIS") investments. This approval allows the Company to raise equity funding under either of these schemes. Discussions with providers of VCT / EIS finance and other equity finance remain on-going.
In the absence of new funds being raised from new investors, the Company will be reliant on the financial support of its existing shareholders and creditors to enable it to continue to trade.

Heads of terms for new 10MW Biomass CHP project

In addition to this the Company is pleased to announce the signing of heads of terms with London & Devonshire Trust ("LDT") regarding a new biomass project, with a capacity of up to 10MW.

The Company has signed heads of terms with LDT (Plymouth Energy Park) Limited, which is a subsidiary of the London & Devonshire Trust. This gives Kedco an option to lease a 4.5 acre site located on Ernesettle Lane, Plymouth for the proposed construction of a biomass electricity and heat generating plant with a capacity of up to 10MW. The heads of terms are not legally binding and are subject to contract and the completion of formally executed legal documentation.

The proposed project site is located in an energy park being developed by LDT who have already secured a grid connection for a number of planned projects in the energy park. The Company expects to sign a binding option agreement before the end of July 2013, following which the planning process will start immediately.

The Company is also in advanced discussions regarding heads of terms for the co-development of another new Biomass CHP project located in Co. Waterford, Ireland. This project will have a minimum capacity of 10MW. Co-Development and Lease Option agreements are currently being drafted and are expected to be signed before the end of July 2013

The intention is to develop a similar plant to the Enfield Biomass project at both of these locations. Further information on these will be released in due course.

Enfield Biomass 12MW CHP project

The company announced on 4 June 2013 that it had selected the Foresight Group as the preferred funder and signed heads of terms with them regarding the part financing of the Enfield Biomass project. The company is currently working with Foresight to appoint a team of legal and technical advisers for the due diligence process. This is expected to be completed in the next two weeks following, which the formal due diligence process will begin.

The first response to the EPC market enquiry has been received with further responses due back shortly. Following the receipt of all market enquiries the company in consultation with Fichtner's, the Company's engineer for the project, and Foresight Group will appoint a preferred EPC contractor.

All other aspects of the project remain on track and in line with management expectations.

Newry Biomass 4MW CHP project

The company announced that the Newry Biomass CHP project had exported electricity to the grid in September 2012. Since then the company in conjunction with both Zeropoint and Clarke Energy has undertaken standard reliability tests of the equipment before formally taking over the equipment from its respective partners. The GE Jenebacher engine was commissioned by Clarke Energy on 7 September 2012 with the gasifier being commissioned and taken over by Kedco Fabrication on 4 June 2013.

Following the formal commissioning hand over the company has been focused on completing various tests and reports required by Ulster Bank Ireland Limited in connection with the drawdown of debt facilities for Phase 2 of the project.

The banks technical adviser, Mott McDonald, have completed their report and submitted it to Ulster Bank for their approval. The company is currently in discussions with Ulster Bank regarding this report and the timing for the drawdown of facilities for Phase 2. Further updates will be provided in due course.

A pre-planning consultation process regarding the 4MW Phase 3 extension to the Newry Biomass project is currently underway and a formal planning application will be submitted in the next six months.

12MW Clay Cross Biomass CHP project

The planning process on the Clay Cross Biomass CHP project continues and a formal planning application is expected to be submitted for approval within the next two months.

Pluckanes 800kw Wind project

The company announced an update on the Pluckanes Windfarm project on 24 May 2013. The company has continued to satisfy the remaining conditions precedent related to the bank facilities. It is awaiting confirmation from the bank that all conditions precedent have now been satisified. The project is fully consented having received planning permission and an offer to connect to the national grid. Pluckanes has signed a contract with Enercon GmBH for the supply and installation of an E48 800kw wind turbine and associated electrical works. A contract for the civil works associated with the project has also been signed with Cro Bar Construction Limited. The project remains on track and in line with previous guidance provided by the company.

Planning consented single wind turbine projects

The company has received planning permission for four separate single wind turbine projects over the last six months including the Altilow, Moneygorm, Knockavadra and Killuagh projects. An application for connection to the national grid has been made for all of the projects and the first formal offer is due to be received for the Altilow project in early July. Meteorological masts have also been installed at both the Altilow and Moneygorm sites and wind data collection is on-going. Both of these projects are on track to be construction ready by the end of 2013.

52.5MW Co-development Agreement

Planning work regarding all four projects, which form part of the co-development agreement is continuing. Environmental studies and initial design and layout work commenced in early April and will be completed in August 2013. A formal planning application remains on track to be submitted in early Q4 2013 for all four (4) projects.

Single wind turbine projects

The Company continues to focus on single wind turbine projects in Ireland and the UK. At present the company has nine (9) such projects in the planning process with decisions on a number expected before the end of this calendar year. The company is targeting at least two (2) new single wind turbine projects to be submitted for planning approval every month.

Sark Island Solar

The Company can also announce that it has started work on its first small scale solar project on the Island of Sark in the Channel Islands. The Company has in partnership with the Trustees of the Sark Island Community Centre and School ("the Trustees"), submitted planning permission for a 25kw roof top solar project, which will be located on certain community buildings on the Island. A public consultation was held on the Island this week. As part of the project the Company has also signed heads of terms with the Trustees for a long-term power purchase agreement where the Company will sell electricity generated by the project to the Trustees for supply to the community buildings. The project is expected to be considered for approval by the Island's Development and Control Committee in the coming months. Based on the outcome of this project the Company will explore further opportunities to deploy renewable energy solutions in partnership with the Sark Island community.

Other Projects

The Company continues to progress the Derry Port 25MW Biomass CHP project as well as the various small-scale anaerobic digestion and solar projects which have been previously announced. Further announcements will be made in relation to these projects as further key milestones are met.

Funding

The Company announced on 28 March 2013 that it had raised GBP400,000 through a convertible loan note issued to the Company's largest shareholder. The purpose of the loan note was to fund Kedco's ongoing development and working capital requirements. In the context of the Company's continued ongoing losses, the Board has recognised the need to supplement the Company's cash resources both for its projects and ongoing working capital requirements. Accordingly, the Directors have instituted measures to preserve cash and discussions with providers of finance are on-going to secure additional funding in order for the Company to continue with its activities and its planned development program. To this end, the Company has applied for and received advanced assurance from HM Revenue and Customs that the Company qualifies for Venture Capital Trust ("VCT") and Enterprise Investment Scheme ("EIS") investments. This approval allows the Company to raise equity funding under either of these schemes. Discussions with providers of VCT / EIS finance and other equity finance remain on-going.

In the absence of new funds being raised from new investors, the Company will be reliant on the financial support of its existing shareholders and creditors to enable it to continue to trade.

Outlook

The Board is pleased with progress made across the Company's key projects over the last six months and across the overall project development pipeline. The company has shown that it can continue to bring projects successfully through the planning process, obtain grid connection and put in place the required contractual structures that attracts both bank and equity financing. The Company will continue to focus on securing additional funding to enable it to deliver on its planned development programme and overall strategy.

Whilst these are just non-binding heads of terms, Foresight is a serious player. In my opinion, Foresight wouldn't sign such a document if they were not serious about the project.
