Posted at 26/8/2015 14:33 by supernumerary Didn't they also put money into OXA when it was admitted? At 25p if I remember correctly? Only a 90% loss then... |
Posted at 08/7/2015 19:57 by rrr "Trading in the Company's shares on AIM under the new name of OXACO PLC (AIM: OXA) will take effect from Wednesday 9th July 2015."Wed 8th or Thurs 9th? Pity they couldn't get the date right. |
Posted at 08/12/2014 11:54 by the_doctor The trouble is, any application needs a) development funding and b) timeEven if a partner provides the funding, OXA still struggles with the time it'll take to commercialise and generate income. One practical way out for OXA would be to prove up a sufficiently attractive concept upon which to raise a proper level of funding Or a tech that can generate some form of upfront licensing fee. IMO they spent too long on applications that havent come to fruition. The ultimate outcome will either be i) heavily dilutive fundraiser ii) administration and shareholders losing out |
Posted at 05/10/2014 14:10 by pugugly If MW tips and you are holding usually a very good selling opportunity to get out -Certainly history (from memory) with OXA suggests this is true - NB Sold OXA at 10p on 23rd August 2013 at 10p for a pofit. . |
Posted at 08/4/2014 13:24 by rrr As you say Michael, graphene is an extraordinary material and if (as OXA obviously hope) the Onto technology can be used to modify it as required, without negating its valuable characteristics, and relatively easily on an industrial scale, that should be very valuable. Having invested in other hi-tech companies which also had exciting ideas but which came to nothing for one reason or another I'm rather well aware that commercial success is not guaranteed! rrr |
Posted at 04/4/2014 13:36 by michaelx105 Interesting post about OXA here:http://www.safe |
Posted at 17/3/2014 13:04 by rrr There are some first rate chemists behind OXA so I agree this is good. Turning ideas into products and sales seems to be the hard bit. |
Posted at 24/1/2014 08:50 by vasilis From a hard-nosed business perspective the most significant bit is this IMO :-'The development packs will enable customers to quickly assess the system in their own labs and help shorten the time between assessment, pilot trial and the supply of a commercial product by OAS.' I interpret that to mean something along the lines of - 'We have problems kicking off the sales cycle so we are offering customers to trial the product for free in their labs and then hope we can progress the sales cycle from there.' IF potential customers have requested such trials then there is some logic to this marketing strategy. However, I've just re-read the RNS and I cannot see anything that suggests such a request coming from customers. Therefore if this is simply a supplier led initiative then it may well be taken up within the labs on a 'nothing to lose' basis but may wither on the vine at that point unless there is targeted customer focus at senior level to keep selling the benefits of the business case if lab trials are successful and justify further pilot trials from the customers viewpoint. I trust that OXA are aware that it is far more complicated than a 'try and buy' exercise and specific sales skills are required to handle such an exercise. |
Posted at 24/1/2014 07:18 by multibagger Not promising it appears :( after trying to market it themselves, now they are asking customers to try it out. Attractive technology but OXA appears to be clearly struggling with gaining acceptance in the market - yet another example of fine technology being unable to bridge the commercialisation gap like so many other disruptive tech vendors.TIDMOXA Oxford Advanced Surfaces Group PLC 24 January 2014 OXFORD ADVANCED SURFACES GROUP PLC (AIM: OXA) OAS launches Onto(TM) Development Pack for customer testing Oxford Advanced Surfaces Group (OAS), the AIM listed technology developer targeting engineered materials and surface modification applications in multiple markets including automotive, aerospace, communications and renewable energy, announces that it is launching an Onto(TM) development pack to allow customers to test OAS products in their own labs. The first development pack, for the Onto(TM) EP1000 range of products, is targeted at adhesion promotion of polyurethane and epoxy coatings to historically difficult-to-bond-to materials including engineering polymers, high performance (speciality) plastics and thermoplastic composites. In many high performance products engineering and speciality plastics are increasingly being utilised as replacements for metals because they provide favourable properties including weight, flexibility and chemical resistance. However, their excellent solvent and heat resistance also makes them extremely difficult to bond. For many high-end products, delamination can be catastrophic so that adhesion promotion of these materials becomes paramount. Onto(TM) provides a solution to this problem by providing a chemically reactive surface on the material and allows manufacturers to continue to utilise existing coatings and paints. Importantly, Onto(TM) treatments do not require the use of harsh or environmentally unfriendly solvents. The development packs will enable customers to quickly assess the system in their own labs and help shorten the time between assessment, pilot trial and the supply of a commercial product by OAS. The development packs will be available before the end of February. Philip Spinks, CEO, commented: "We are delighted to be able to offer our technology in a simple to use development pack and we hope this will speed the adoption of Onto(TM) into a number of potential markets." Sarah Vickers, Product Manager, commented: "The availability of a Development Pack helps us to short-cut the development cycle with potential customers and will demonstrate the ability of Onto(TM) to have a real impact in the advanced and reinforced plastics markets." 24 January 2014 Enquiries: Oxford Advances Surfaces Group Plc www.oxfordsurfaces.c Philip Spinks, Chief Executive Officer T: 01865 854 807 W H Ireland Limited www.wh-ireland.co.uk John Wakefield T: 0117 945 3471 Editors' Note Oxford Advanced Surfaces Group (OAS) is the AIM listed technology developer targeting engineered materials and surface modification applications in multiple markets including automotive, aerospace, communications and renewable energy. Our proprietary Onto(TM) highly reactive chemistry provides manufacturers with versatile technology solutions in surface functionalisation and adhesion promotion of coatings, inks and adhesives to difficult-to-bond substrates. Onto(TM) can be integrated into customer manufacturing lines for use in a wide range of surface modification applications for high-performance plastics, low surface energy polymers and composites. Onto(TM) technology creates permanent bonding to surfaces through the use of highly reactive carbene chemistry. Carbenes can react with almost anything, even difficult-to-bond materials with limited or no functionality such as polyethylene, making Onto(TM) a diverse surface modification technology for a wide range of materials. Onto(TM) is processed from solution using typical wet process techniques and can be integrated into customer manufacturing facilities. The chemistry is flexible and can be manipulated to provide a variety of properties to a surface, giving it scope for use in a broad range of applications and markets. At OAS, we have the expertise, know-how and facilities to design and synthesise Onto(TM) materials and formulations that provide functional surface treatments to meet specific performance and processing requirements. We work closely with customers to design bespoke formulations to meet performance requirements for specific material systems. We welcome any enquiries regarding the surface functionalisation and adhesion promotion of high performance plastics and composites.

Posted at 30/10/2013 15:02 by vasilis Hi PugLike you, I'm still keeping an eye on OXA....... Personally, I don't know whether to laugh or cry at that latest RNS. If I was on OXA's Board and the 'chief bean counter' became the CEO as the 'natural successor' I think that I would walk taking into account the critical technological focus of the business. I couldn't imagine something like this happening at a hungry cutting-edge IT company. Maybe that's why Mike Edwards the S&M Director left last month? More importantly, how does OXA think such changes will go down with potential customers - THE most important reason for making BOD changes. I presume that these new appointments are meant to 'strengthen' OXA's expertise and therefore ability to deliver..........or have the remaining deck chairs on the 'proverbial ship' just been reshuffled? We'll no doubt soon see. |
