02/4/2017 12:37 | Many thanks for the useful feedback SuperG. I could not get there, but I am also invested in Victoria Oil and Gas who were also there. Interesting that they produced a powerpoint presentation for the show and released it simultaneously on their web site. This has generated a lot of investor interest on social media and it would have been a good move for VRS to have taken the same approach. | ridicule | |
02/4/2017 11:01 | Thank goodness or the silver fox CFO to improve the look. | superg1 | |
02/4/2017 10:42 | Just listing the Cambridge ink news again as many are not on ADVFN but may look in and a few did ask about it. | superg1 | |
02/4/2017 10:40 | Guy in the blue shirt looks like he needs to go on a diet ;) | captain_kurt | |
02/4/2017 10:37 | I learned yesterday that VRS have a number of events over the next year. I know of some but have it my my head they said 12 but will check. Not investor events but technology events some the CEO present at and the one near term where they have been selected from a list of hopefuls. | superg1 | |
02/4/2017 10:36 | The VRS stand sure looks busy, one or two or three familair faces there as well! | astralvision | |
02/4/2017 10:34 | I understand Prof. Andrea Ferrari is an interesting and passionate guy within his sector his sector. He is the VRS/Cambridge ink guy. I see he has just won an award. Prof. Andrea Ferrari, Director of the Cambridge Graphene Centre, has been awarded the NANOSMAT Award 2017. The award recognises exceptional scientific achievements, professional leadership, originality and innovation in research and development relating to nanoscience and nanotechnology The NANOSMAT Award is an international prize awarded annually since 2014 to international scientists who have shown outstanding achievements in the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology during the course of their professional career. The awards committee were very impressed by Prof. Ferrari's research exploiting different frontiers stretching from materials science to engineering and physics with novel and stimulating results. I'm guessing the breakthrough in the ink is part reason. | superg1 | |
02/4/2017 10:11 | Simon I agree. They like to build a solid business and I got the impression they were sad to see what was a good building business start to fall away. I know having spoken to them many times they perplexed to some extent that the AIM isn't all about building solid businesses which is their ultimate goal. I know they may not like me saying this as they like to keep feet on the ground but looking around and knowing the business sectors they are in I believe has them thinking they are undervalued on the potential. However they are acutely aware and will openly say it's all about results in driving sales forward. Clearly Carbide with the oil turn is coming out of it's dip as as we know they started to diversify to mitigate such future risks. Copper foam which rarely got a mention yesterday is a nice looking disruptive product but the excitement near term is about GNPs, GO and the ink. Having had a chat yesterday they obviously sell graphene oxide too and the going rate for that seems to be in the £80 to £120 range per gram. It's so easy for folk to just say "Graphene blue sky". I know I was one of them a couple of years back but I worked those 2 out and that's why I dug in as they are not hype chasers they look for real opportunities. The ink speaks for itself. That caught me cold and it took me weeks to work it out. It was ready to go, they haven't even named it yet but they have upgraded the Cambridge facility in quick time and sold their first order. I understand the Cambridge ink guys are highly impressed with the speed VRS moved in supporting them. That seems to be a common theme across the market and government where the VRS team and what they are doing is impressing many that we don't hear about. You have to put in the extra hours to work those out. | superg1 | |
02/4/2017 09:53 | superg1 On a more serious note now the 1st is out of the way, I also know the CFO he was CFO at Elektron for many years, and you are correct about him being careful with finance. Had he remained at EKT the company would have been in a better financial position. | simon templar qc | |
02/4/2017 08:24 | I'll post some more through the day (quelle surprise). I know some were negative about the investor show but as a first time visitor it seemed to be a roaring success in terms of investor interest and of value to existing investors and new investors who could talk to the CEO and CFO directly and get a decent understanding of the company. It was virtually entirely focused on the graphene side and one new ones having now heard about asking if they could do 3D printing (Yes). Then some asking if they could make conductive ink with the GNPs which obviously then catapulted into Cambridge talk. Then some asking about batteries which resulted in the direction to read up on WMG. The Mclaren pages are useful as it was easy to direct some to read up on their website what Mclaren think about GNPs in carbon fibre and the performance gain. Obviously the company CEO/CFO couldn't make any comment about McLaren but that didn't stop me of course as it's blindingly obvious it was VRS GNPs that McLaren used. There was Dragons Den bit that I missed, I'm not fully sure how that works I'll have to look it up but I believe one chose VRS. Then post that event there was a bit of a rush to speak to the CEO. Overall many seemed to be very interested and impressed that the technology has come from Manchester and Cambridge University, the connection of VRS with the NGI and the UOM. One guy had strong Cambridge connections and is skilled in the field of understanding. Another knew one of the fund managers well and another fund manager who imo should look at this one so we had a good chat. There was a surprising mix of folk including those involved in regulating the market and those that work within it. I had some interesting conversations with them. So Imo it was well worth VRS attending and to answer the doubters (remember they are obliged to monitor BBs) the CEO said this is new ground for them and they are keen that those invested get the opportunity to speak to management. The only way to find out if events are worthwhile for that opportunity is to attend them and in a term he uses "kick the tyres". I do feel on the basis of interest from investors the `CEO and CFO will consider it was very worthwhile. They like to engage with investors. It seems to me they desire not to be tagged as what I would call a typical AIM company. They are a business trying to build revenue through existing companies and new technology with the intent to move to profit and dividends. The CFO is lovely guy and you will be glad to hear a tight fisted very diligent CFO who pays attention to every detail. That's the sort of CFO that you want in charge of anything you are invested in. TBH I hadn't really appreciated why funds are so keen to have good CFOs in the companies they invest in but having met and talked to The CFO it becomes blatantly obvious. If you mix a poor CFO with a spend thrift CEO then a business is generally doomed on the cash front. While some I know fly business class and stay in the plush hotels and bring in a load of highly paid dead wood management, this one doesn't. He wouldn't be allowed too and isn't of that nature in any case. Always looking for the cheapest option to do company business hence the bus from the railway station in `Derby as in twitter. Others probably wouldn't bee seen dead on a bus, it's their nature. So on that front no worries at all. | superg1 | |

01/4/2017 22:35 | Vasilis, yes, it is the persuasive salesman you have to identify and guard against.That SFO case study is certainly a sober read and proof that we are on our own out here. | bones | |
01/4/2017 18:18 | Phew Busy day at the investor show. Vrs seemed to be popular with some current and new interest. Been up since 3.30am and a do to go to when I get back so I'll post tomorrow re the show. Some pleasant and knowledgeable folk engaged with VRS. | superg1 | |
01/4/2017 13:39 | Its certainly a technical challenge but my girlfriend says tights only last one day if the girl has a date. | simon templar qc | |
01/4/2017 13:30 | I wish you hadn't said that Simon, made me start to think about heat dispersion etc; , we don't want to go there lol | luckyorange | |
01/4/2017 13:13 | superg1 I don't know whether Neil told you but Neil and I go back a long way, due to my investment in Elektron. My girlfriend and Neil's wife often go out for a drink together. Seems the last time they met up, both were discussing ladder-less tights. I have to be careful what I say here but the tights market is a trillion dollar worldwide business and if graphene could be incorporated in ladies tights the skies the limit. We have all seen "that graphene dress" the possibilities are endless. | simon templar qc | |
01/4/2017 12:30 | You don't have to be on AIM, to find black holes and crooks.Anyone remember Versailles plc in the late 1990s?They had a rare thing, a black CEO, Carl Cushnie, so naturally Tony Blair invited him into no 10 for sandwiches and a photo shoot. Cushnie was also named something like Black Businessman of the Year. Why would you not invest?Versailles was on an upward trajectory and made the FTSE 250.Eventually it was found that the majority of their sales were to offshore companies that they owned and the majority of their transactions were circular and fake.Cushnie was jailed and the CFO (Fred Clough, who did all the dirty dealing) did the grassing if I recall correctly.What chance do investors have when the Prime Minister vouches for the investment?hTTps://w | bones | |
01/4/2017 11:22 | Nice post Phoenixs . I know regulation defeats the purpose of AIM but some of the scams deserve criminal investigation imo. Fortunately VRS is totally above board and gives confidence to investors. Nice to have a bit of Fools Humour on the BB, but I am very comfortable with VRS. | bobd29 | |
01/4/2017 10:51 | Black Hole... there are numerous ones in our universe and many of them are to be found in a number of AIM companies' accounts, so many I have lost count. If black holes had leeches attached you could easily substitute for them a large number high living, champagne drinking city suited directors and their associates and advisers who treat companies and investors as the blood lifeline which at the end runs out and they move on to the next available black hole or they retire to their expensive lifestyle paid for by unsuspecting PIs who have "invested" their hard earned monies into the black hole scams. Fortunately for PIs in VRS, the directors do not live it up. They have not been found in St Tropez,Cannes or the like boating away and/or drinking away our money. Instead they appear to scrunch and save invested monies to spend on R&D and in particular the machines which will produce sales and profits. | phoenixs | |
01/4/2017 10:21 | New Black Hole found According to the national atomic research society Versarien has been doing some highly confidential research with grahpene. Professor Nimba Schuel has just announced the discovery of a “black hole” in the Universe 220 million light years away. It appears Versarien are the only people capable of supplying the amount of graphene in a timely manner, the main concern at the moment is price. According to Proffesor Schuel it’s burning a big black hole in the research budget. Proffesor Schuel also said “we chose to deal with Versarien as we trusted Neil Ricketts to deliver graphene within a 24 hour timescale and keep the amount of graphene sold and the technology we are using extremely confidential. We do not want the Russians to get hold of the technology.” | simon templar qc | |
01/4/2017 09:59 | Allways good to be cautious LO and I do like a company where investors do not have to be concerned with short term finances. As has been stated previously one of the main purposes of the fundraising was to achieve scaleability in the event of substantial orders being received. I do not see this BOD taking that decision if orders were not likely in the near future, and once they start to come in then growth could be quite rapid imo.NGA's preclude any detail ahead of announcements but imo the next couple of months could be interesting. | bobd29 | |
01/4/2017 06:53 | What is the downside at this point? Need to look at the current share price first, which the consensus is that it is a fairly safe investment at 22.5p with plenty of upside should everything fall into place. Underpinned by AAC, TC which should be profit making and a FO who has a very keen eye on the finances . The recent fundraising ensured that they have enough money in the pot to react to market needs and prior to that they had enough in the kitty to keep them on track for a couple of years so no fundraising due. 2D Tech no RNS'd orders for graphene at present so maybe they are ticking over supplying sample quantities? Staffing very lean including the BOD so no large drain financially. Downside, expensive so companies reluctant to order and will not do so until price comes down? Cambridge Graphene, recent fundraising ensured that they have the equipment that they require to commercialise, water based ink that they can produce cheaper than current options. Downside , a competitor finds a more straightforward method that costs less? Copper foam, no information , no orders? Fire at factory (hopefully not!) it happened at AAC some years ago so hopefully they are on the ball there with their checks and procedures. Feel free to add to the downside, just some very brief thoughts. | luckyorange |
