Good news, but i would have thought we would have went up more today.....lets face it, we have been higher some days on no news......They arent for letting us go above a £1......that seems a gimmie.

Keep it up KIO and well done all at Manton Wood...... ;-)

I've never known them to give so much detail specifically about China ops.In their usual understated way I think they are quite excited about developments there.Also beginning to talk about licensing Aquatice......shaping up nicely IMHO.....

I assume that sooner or later,KIO will introduce an interim dividend.I'm not really expecting that tomorrow but it would be a way of attracting some further interest from the market.Progress in China and Brazil is essential and maybe some intimation that they are close to an acquisition.

spekky it was Richard Edwards who gave the presentation David Bullen and Karen Prior were also in attendance, which impressed me to have the top 3 there, especially as its not a London based business. Unforunately I couldnt stick around to talk to them as I had to leave after the presentations. I have previosuly spoken with David and was very impressed with how keen he was to engage with me as a private investor in the business.

davidosh, many thanks for an excellent event last night.

4 quality and diverse presentations.

KIOs presentation was interesting, although i felt a little light on the financials, and heavy on the science, but then thats always a challenge for any executive with their head in the business 24/7 to then describe it in a way that investors want to hear, or maybe thats just what i wanted to hear.

I think they undersold the transformation of the business, particularly in terms of the rationalisation of sites, increase in prodcution capacity and improvement in balance sheet, all whilst growing sales.

What i hadnt realsied was that in order to increase penetration to a market they will go in with two brands, which are essentially the same product in different packaging, but that its required to meet the demands of the distibutor models.

They described the aquatice opportunity as being 'thrown in for free' and not given any value despite the progress of trials. Although they are 10 years into an exclusive 20 year agreement already.

Stressed the importance of China and Brazil as growth markets, and the premium placed on UK/EU suppliers as opposed to local. Also confirmed 90% of production cost is in the raw materials, which have a global price, and so risk of competitors producing in asia isnt that great, although conceeded the transportation costs are a factor.

If I think of anything else, i'll post later. 2 small trades already today, and £1 gets nearer.

Just for fun I've put the other 3 Mello presentees on my monitor (CNS,HZM,STY).If this was a horse race it does appear that KIO is the ante-post favourite .I hope our jockey tonight is up for the race... ;-)

Bid at the £1, now can the offer get through for a possible break out at last!

Been in this share for about 12 months. Must confess I know little about the feed additive business (but learning). However, the big plus for me is that I like what the management are doing. Debt free, generating cash, making good decisions ( e.g.bought their HQ at the right time when the market was low), in the two largest markets in the world, Brazil and China but starting slowly in both countries. Seems like a well run outfit to me. Mkt cap far too low and won't be long before the competition starts casting an eye in this direction, all in my opinion of course. Interesting tick up today.

Mello Central presentation tonight at 60 New Broad Street EC2. i think the early buyers are coming in ahead of it by the look of the movement after the announcement and mail out yesterday.

AND the spread has narrowed (coincidence?) so whoever is giving tonights presentation will not have to face that embarassing question about the consolidation (fixing the spread).
Anyway, it remains to be seen whether tonight will achieve anything for KIO but its nice to see they are at least trying various ways to get the message across.I look forward (with gusto) to reading next weeks interims.

Would be so nice to finally burst past the £1, this is my only company that pays a dividend but gets very little attention yet.
Where is Mello by the way?

Small buy this morning, but at 94p we're getting very close to the Resistance that's been in place at £1 for the last 2 years. We're moving on little volume aswell so it wouldn't take much intest from mello tonight to see a break through the £1 barrier next week.

Thanks again.
