XL Tech. Share Discussion Threads

[don muang] 22/1/2007 11:54

seems buying keeps on ... although no increase in share price today (yet) .... presume the article on then in the Indepenent helped ...

[tp100] 19/1/2007 15:24

And up again. Price action looks good. Added yet? Interesting to see large volume again in the last hour yesterday.

[tp100] 18/1/2007 14:59

This update from 16th certainly looked positive - perhaps just a delayed reaction, it happens sometimes.

XL TechGroup said in an operational
update today that it has entered 2007
with confidence in its existing
companies, as well as a great deal of
optimism about a number of the
opportunities within its business
creation pipeline.
The company said that TyraTech's
international agreements with Arysta,
Scott's and Syngenta, as announced
during 2006, are making strong progress
in developing horticultural and
consumer applications for TyraTech's
technology in the global insecticide
and pesticide markets.
PetroAlgae is now completing the
construction of a second, and larger,
test facility in Florida, which it says
will demonstrate that the algae produce
at least two hundred times more energy
per acre than traditional biofuel
crops, like soybeans, and that the
modular cultivation process is
scalable.
A pilot production facility of 400
acres is then scheduled to be built,
with completion targeted for the end of
2007. The company said this pilot site
is expected to be able to produce
almost 6m gallons of raw oil per annum.
This yield, which can be produced from
facilities utilising waste ground, is
equivalent to that produced from over
115,000 acres of soybeans and almost
50,000 acres of rapeseed, which require
cultivated land, the company said.
Such production is possible as the
algae mature in 24 hours and convert
50% of their weight to usable oil.
Further production facilities, in
excess of 10,000 acres, are planned to
be under construction by the end of
2007, with the scale up accelerating
into 2008 and beyond.
PetroAlgae is primarily aimed at the
global commodity markets and the
company is already in preliminary talks
with a number of potential project
finance and joint venture partners and
customers.
The company said that DxTech is
developing a unique micro-fluidic
system that essentially replaces the
full range of common blood tests
currently performed at reference
laboratories around the world with a
fully-automated, low cost point-of-care
platform.
This diagnostic technology has
undergone first distribution customer
demonstrations, specifically of a
thyroid testing panel, during November
2006. The company said these
demonstrations have confirmed DxTech's
gold standard performance even compared
to the clinical laboratory blood
analysing systems which exceed the
standards of other point of care
systems already in the market.
DxTech is in negotiations with a
number of leading companies who are
interested in acting as partners and
distributors, and has expectations of
completing its first commercial deal in
the first half of 2007.
XL TechGroup has created QuoNova, the
fifth company to reach the development
stage of XL TechGroup's proven
methodology for value creation.
QuoNova is commercialising a novel
Quorum Sensing Blocker technology which
prevents bacteria that form biofilms
from doing so, and inhibits bacteria
from producing toxins which in
addition, opens completely new
application avenues in a broad range of
high value markets.
The company said proof of concept for
the technology has already been
established, and commercialisation is
envisaged within two years for the most
advanced applications.
GenXL is a new value creation entity
jointly owned by XL TechGroup and
US-based product innovation and
technology development firm, GEN3
Partners Inc.
GenXL has now assembled an experienced
management team and is currently
evaluating an initial 25 opportunities,
which originate from the combined
pipelines of both XL TechGroup and
GEN3. Those opportunities selected for
development could result in individual
new companies, standalone product
lines, technology licensing
opportunities or an appropriate mix of
these.
XL TechGroup has also raised
additional mezzanine funding of US$20m
from Laurus Master Fund, a New York
based institutional equity fund that
specialises in making direct
investments in growing public
companies. These funds will be used to
continue development of XL TechGroup's
existing companies as well as new
opportunities in the pipeline.

If you didn't have a position then yes, jumping aboard this morning was quite wise. I may wait a day or two before deciding to add - often (although not always) these rapid moves unwind a little. I'd seen the reference to the note. Is a copy available? Alternatively, perhaps you could outline the main points?

[tp100] 18/1/2007 14:48

utwiq, I also considered buying at 215p but decided against as CODE were happily offering 50k. However, yesterday's volume looks to have cleared the seller. The note from Charles Stanley was very persuasive so I decided to jump on board this morning.

[utwiq] 18/1/2007 14:28

Let me make you feel a little less lonely! I follow XLT quite closely with an average holding at £2.23. I'd been considering adding more at about £2.15 so was in a sense not thrilled to see the price rise (never happy!). The question is why? It is a belated response to the positive trading update of 16/1 or does it have more to do with continued progress at AGC (note the update yesterday...)? Perhaps some persons or body has just done a little more research and decided that this is a great long-term investment. Exposure to Agcert with Tyratech and Petro-algae in development (not to mention the other two or the pipeline...) is well worth having.

[tp100] 18/1/2007 13:27

now up 12p...and the BB is empty. I'm buying anyway! A run up to test potential resistence at 260p now looks logical.

[tp100] 18/1/2007 11:10

price starting to move up following volume yesterday. One to watch!

[tp100] 09/1/2007 15:51

very interesting "strong buy" note by Charles Stanley floating around. Anyone out there?

[richardbonny] 10/10/2006 18:54

Making oil from microalgae? Turnover = 0. Market capitalisation = £400 million. Hope it works!

[kenmill] 13/5/2006 14:53

SCSW have again recommended the share, suggesting that Tyratech will float in the next 6-12 months. I am still holding.

[mdchand] 05/10/2005 16:32

good article on xlt - assuming that is, anyone is still holding.

[pablo1969] 20/9/2005 08:19

is anybody out there.
are these good results.

[gain] 18/7/2005 10:05

Schwab gave me some Blarney about it being american and needed a w8eb form

[rambutan2] 18/7/2005 09:58

looks a potential gold mine of a deal.
although would like to know details of how they going to share costs, rev, profit etc from ideas taken on.

[kenmill] 18/7/2005 09:47

News of a tie up with Proctor & Gamble can't be doing any harm !

[mitzis] 18/7/2005 08:54

up another 7% this morning.

[mitzis] 04/7/2005 09:58

I wonder why its not listed on the largest risers..?

[kenmill] 04/7/2005 09:15

tipped in SCSW at the weekend, together with AGC

[mdchand] 04/7/2005 09:11

Code issued another note late last week - looks like that had a more influential effect on the market!

[mdchand] 05/5/2005 16:45

check your inbox!

[mikehardman] 05/5/2005 10:53

mdchand - -edited-, TIA

[mdchand] 03/5/2005 20:24

redangel - good question. looks like xlt will be keeping its original share holding, so i suspect they are issuing new shares and enlarging the existing sharebase.

[redangel] 03/5/2005 15:15

Will holders of XLT get any shares in AgCert?????
