Plantic still shows life

Hailing from Australia, Plantic Technologies is also confident that its fortunes are about to change. It makes packaging plastics from maize starch and will launch a product that is claimed to extend the shelf life of fresh foods.

It raised £20m at 64p a share on joining Aim in 2007, but has disappointed. The shares closed on Wednesday at 5p, giving it a market capitalisation of £4m – less than the A$9.5m (£5.5m) of cash remaining on the balance sheet from the flotation.

The company will probably have to raise another A$10m to fund its expansion plans and revised strategy. But for investors with a yen to "latch on to the affirmative", to continue the old song's lyrics, the stock looks worth checking out.

agree with your points dr....but unfortunately i don't think this management would have been able to raise the funds required at anything but highly dilutive levels therefore taking out much of the upside for long term investors.
fairly typical aim technology developement co...floated on too high level of expectation and raised too much money...then spend a few years with management feeling really wealthy and pots in the bank...series of disappointments and inability to effect meaningful commercialisation..run out of money and find out the goodwill all used up and nobody wants to fund the next few years of farting around...go bust and technology bought out or get taken over at derisory level relative to r&d and potential for new owner to run it properly at an inflexion point and take the upside.

Survival of the fittest is the name of the game as Aim continues to shrink......

the_doctor - 14 Jul'10 - 19:41 - 40035

His fourteenth VIY post of the day. Such dedication from a non-investor !

Still deciding whether to email the Plantic BoD to ask for an explanation about their high compensation payments in relation to company performance, losses and market cap. The_doctor thinks that non-shareholders are entitled to expect directors to provide them with proper explanations of their policies and decisions.

will have to be pretty extraordinary news to get this shareprice moving as we have the sword of damocles of a equity fundraise hanging over us.
if alternative finance or a strategic investor were to fill the impending funding gap then maybe a different story..but in the meantime there are persistant sellers in the market and can unfortunately only see one way for the shares until funding resolved.
any good news short term will be the point of a fundraise so dilution will occur at an effective pre news price.
agree the company seems to be positioning themselves reasonably well though not judging that by actual revenue and have undoubtedly been relatively slow to market opportunity in a competitive environment...perhaps that is because up until now they have been happy to sit back and wait for it to happen as they ploughed through lumps of shareholders cash [including mr merchant's of course] now the coffers are dry they might actually have to make something happen to secure additional funding to keep the pay cheques rolling.

Just a matter of time before investors twig that this is grossly under-valued! Patience require, when it moves up, it will be very fast moving.

So around 30-40% of shares are in free float, rest are taken by institutions and private investors. Ony 80 million shares in issue currently. Probably will issue around 60-70 million shares around 7-8p to get the desired A$10 million. Still would only be 150 million shares in issue.

It is from a private investor who claims he hasn't had a reply from his previous emails to the other email addresses.

Can I give him this direct email address for you and he can contact you himself?

Kind regards

C

Thanks C



Who is the question from? As I said in my previous note we don't reply to anonymous emails, and some email address are picked up by the SPAM fitter depending on the email address characteristics and particularly if there is inappropriate language used.

themoneymonster,

The point of a BB is to share views, not to be so blinded by your investment that you cannot listen to the other side of the story.

You, however, have stated nothing in your reply which could possibly convince me to buy. I however, can tell you that the Natureflex product (which is a Cellulose product) has better respiration qualities (slightly more expensive) than the PLNT product and the Cargill product is cheaper and performs at least on a par.

There is no doubt that this is a growing market, and that Retailers will move more products to this type of packaging as and when prices drop. However, my question to all investors is why do people think that this company will be one of the winners? That's all

Think they are more interested in the bigger investors which could be a good thing for us small investors?

I bought my 2 sisters 40k shares each on Friday, the broker had to ring round for me to find some stock. It took an hour or so, the trades pushed the price up so that tells me there is a supply/demand issue here and mm's are trying to load up as well as us?

I have a great feeling about this one!
