Gyllenhammar took an 18.4% stake, buying some when the shares were under 1p if I recall correctly. He then loaned them £500K to keep the company going and directors deferred their salaries for quite some time, meaning very low cash drain.

When we had the suggestion of a takeover the shares were heavily traded and doubling/halving regularly. I'm surprised now that the short term finance is sorted there has not been more buying. I picked up 40K first thing at 2.1p thinking I'd buy another lot if I could get them in time. The MMs marked up on my purchase and offered me the next lot at 3.1p but I didn't complete as it appeared no one else was insterested this morning.

A couple more buys just gone through now though and the MMs have moved up twice more, now 1-1 @ 2.25-3.5p. Market cap is £1.09m, still way under asset value, and considering the debt cleared, salaries paid and net cash position these really should have attacted more interest.

Tersus Energy plc

("Tersus Energy" or the "Company")


Update on HT Blade Investment


Tersus Energy, the AIM traded clean energy company, today announces an update
regarding its investment in ZhongHong (Boading) Huiteng Wind Power Equipment
Company Ltd ("HT Blade").


In January 2006 Tersus invested $2 million in TWELP (a Texan LP) as a
convertible secured loan subsequently converted into a 12.1 per cent.
partnership interest.


TWELP owned 100 per cent. of Tang Wind Energy LLC ("TWELLC," a Cayman company)
which in turned owned 25 per cent. of HT Blade. The remaining 75 per cent. of HT
Blade was owned and continues to be owned by Chinese State Owned Enterprises.


Last year, an international private equity firm with offices in Shanghai
acquired an interest in TWELLC from TWELP in return for $20 million. This money
was used by TWELP for transaction expenses, TWELP costs and a loan to HT Blade.
The balance was retained by TWELP in reserve.


In February 2008, the same private equity investor exercised an option which it
was given as part of the 2007 transaction and bought a further stake in TWELLC
paying a further $20 million to TWELP. That investor now has a shareholding in
TWELLC of approximately 42 per cent., with TWELP owning the remaining
approximately 58 per cent. Therefore, at that date, TWELLC and the private
equity investor owned (indirectly) approximately 14.5 per cent. and
approximately 10.5 per cent. respectively of HT Blade, with Tersus owning
(indirectly) an approximately 1.75 per cent. stake in HT Blade.


In April 2008, TWELP transferred some $32 million of cash and receivables into a
new partnership TWELP 2. This amount represented the $40 million received from
the private equity investor, less transaction costs and TWELP running costs.


In April 2008, TWELP 2 made a distribution to its partners as a result of which
Tersus has received approximately $1.45 million in cash. The amount remaining in
TWELP 2 is being retained to meet future HT Blade capital calls and thus to
avoid TWELP dilution.


Also in April 2008, TWELP's limited partners sold a 9 per cent. interest in
TWELP to an international venture capital firm. Included in this 9 per cent.
stake was a disposal by Tersus of 25 per cent. of its 12.1 per cent. interest in
TWELP. Tersus has received approximately $2.19 million in cash in relation to
this disposal.


As a result of this disposal Tersus now owns approximately 9 per cent. of TWELP
resulting in Tersus owning (indirectly) approximately 1.3 per cent. of HT Blade.


The Board believes that the value of its indirect holding in HT Blade will be a
function of TWELP's ability to create further exit opportunities, the business
performance of HT Blade and the willingness of the Chinese State Owned
Enterprises to proceed to an IPO. The Board also believes that the value of this
stake may be affected by the possible dilution caused by the creation of a
management incentive pool and the manner in which the cost of such incentive
pool may be borne by shareholders in HT Blade.


Following receipt of the funds from TWELP and TWELP 2, it is the Board's
intention to repay the #500,000 loan which it received in December 2007 from a
major shareholder and to pay certain deferred liabilities, including Directors'
salaries (most Directors not having been paid since December 2006), leaving
approximately #700,000 to continue developing the business.

looks like chancer is still on a roll ,every stock she has pumped lately have cost her dear ,lol

[tiredoldbroker] 03/4/2008 13:31

Looks like the Curse Of Chancre has struck again, my guess is that was her position being sold out from under her by whichever broker she'd been dealing through. I reckon after PARO and LNX, MGP may have been the last straw, left her with a debit balance at the broker and no cash to cover it.

n Building the No. 1 wood pellet producer

Libra Natural Resources (LNR) has stated that its aim is to build the world's number one producer of wood pellets over the next 24 months with a total capacity of around 1.5 million tons, thereby making it the largest supplier of wood biomass fuels for renewable electricity generation and heating.

n From an existing current production capacity of 131,500 tons of wood pellets and 100,000 of wood chips, LNR intends to be a major consolidator in North America of wood pellet companies by making a number of carefully selected and strategic acquisitions. In addition, the company plans to build a number of green field developments where the appropriate long-term feedstock and off-take agreements are in place.

n LNR currently has over 1.5 million tons of new or existing production facilities under exclusive option, development and/or due diligence for the objective of becoming the world's leading producer of wood pellets.

n As a first step, LNR has today announced the acquisition of Coeur d'Alene Fiber Fuels Inc., a profitable US producer of wood pellets. The company owns three plants, which together will have a total annual production capacity of 120,000 tons by YE 2008. In aggregate this is expected to give LNR a total capacity by year-end of 321,000 tons of wood pellets and 100,000 of wood chips.

n LNR also announced today signing Heads of Agreement to form a Joint Venture in China for the production of straw and rice husk biomass with a major northern Chinese wood pellet company and a Canadian biomass products company. A demonstration plant has been constructed. Considerable expansion is expected over the coming years.

n LNR is to divest all of its non-wood pellet/biomass interests, transferring them to Aim-listed Ethanol Investments plc in return for shares in that company. It is LNR's intention to reduce its holding in that entity over time, generating cash for the Company.

n Libra Natural Resource is shortly to change its name to "FibreGen plc" (subject to shareholder approval at the next AGM) to reflect the Company's sole focus on building the world's number one producer of wood pellets.
