Fryern: Took a look at that website. What does it have to do with AXS? Anything?
And I have to say it is one of the worst designed websites I have seen. What a mess. Drag down, slide across cursors all over the place...

[fryern] 17/10/2006 12:08

Still up 50%

Euros, dollars or £££

Long way to go and don't forget www.medicsight.com mgt

Thanks asparks - saw the info at the same time as your reply.

[zorija] 17/10/2006 11:20

it is euros.

[asparks] 17/10/2006 11:19

its euros i believe

[spurrier] 17/10/2006 11:19

Question for those already invested in AXS.
Is the price showing actually in PENCE? I know this is a daft question but I checked elsewhere and saw that it was quoted - at that time - in euros. The size of the trades would indicate the latter...

And anyone think I have missed the boat?

Edit: Doh - just seen the heading which tells me that it was placed at 1 euro per share!!

My last question still stands though.

Bit more for sailors.....

Seaquest


We have an option agreement to buy a licence to produce Accoya™ and look to partner with a wood industry operator to develop the potential for Accoya™, with a specific interest in the marine sector i.e. harbours, marinas, housing, pleasure boats, etc.

For all you interested in investing in this the market is vast.

Turn a softwood into a wood that lasts for minimum 50 years....

There are no issues of non-durable sapwood. This allows the timber to be guaranteed for 50 years against rot by the producer.

If you invest in AXS of 46 Berkeley Sq (the backers own all the Sq) then you must look at Willy's brother Tim Paterson Brown's www.medicsight.com

There is a new future for wood and a new future for Medicine. I invest long term and been interested in both for over 5 years.

Callum Hill, senior lecturer in Renewable Materials at the University of Wales and a presenter at the conference, said: "The performance of Accoya marketed by BSW Timber, is impressive. The remarkable decay resistance, dimensional stability and UV stability under clear coatings are significant properties. I believe that this product will be an important factor in recapturing a major share of the window and door market from non-renewable competitors. The low maintenance requirement of this product is an important factor, as is the ability to dispose of this material at the end of life without harm to the environment."

[fryern] 14/10/2006 10:25

Accoya was selected by the Institute of Wood Science as a prime example of how leading science and technology can be applied in the production and application of wood and timber products.

A modified, environmentally friendly wood offering outstanding levels of performance, stability and sustainability, Accoya represents a major turning point for the future of construction and design in Britain.

Mr Alexander said the delegates had been impressed by the potential of Accoya in the windows, doors and cladding markets.

"The high performance of Accoya allows greater flexibility in design because Accoya is not subject to the same standard practice which limits common, less stable timbers.

"The aesthetic options for cladding have now changed dramatically. Greater flexibility is available. Translucent stains which maintain the rich wood appearance of the boards have often been discounted due to frequent maintenance intervals of around three to four years. Accoya's low movement and UV resistance reduces this interval to 10 years, which is an entirely different proposition for the client."

He added: "There are no issues of non-durable sapwood. This allows the timber to be guaranteed for 50 years against rot by the producer. With respect to assurance, this guarantee is also in line with Building Research Establishment's product review.

"The base timber which Accoya is produced from comes from sustainable plantation forests which have full environmental certification from FSC or PEFC.

"Accoya is equally well suited to production of doors, windows and conservatories where the same benefits can be realised."

Mr Alexander said Accoya will raise standards of reliability and performance for timber windows, doors and cladding to new levels.

"It is a high performance wood product, which has excellent environmental credentials and is more sustainable than other materials used in non-timber windows and doors.

"Testing of Accoya for machining properties, gluing and coatings has now been completed. The most severe test at a joinery company we're aware of was a three week immersion in a water tank of a fully finished Accoya window. After the period the window opened with ease and not paint joints had been broken – even at the corners". with excellent results. We now offer a product that has new levels of warranty against decay and a new warranty for quality coating finishes, and does not require any further preservative treatment at joinery companies' factories."

I only discovered this stock earlier this week when I decided to take a look at my PEP investment with Rathbone. AXS was their biggest stockholding (2% of the total) and that seems to be a fairly recent investment. I decided to just see how things panned out this week before investing.....darn it!...should have bought Monday!

[dunluce] 12/10/2006 16:05

Not sure why the increase today. Positive article in the I.C. last Friday with a buy recommendation. The lack of discussion on this board tends to suggest that this stock has, so far, slipped under most peoples radar. Not necessarily a bad thing - avoids the short term ramping /deramping that seems to pervade so many boards. Look forward to steady growth here as the development of Accoya continues.

[2piper] 12/10/2006 14:53

any reason for todays spike??

[dunluce] 04/10/2006 09:21

Decided to jump on board yesterday having followed this for a few months. The potential here appears to be huge and currently things are moving in the right direction.

[kdwilson] 28/9/2006 07:55

good announcement - the momentum is really starting to gather pace and production to start shortly. im sure this one will quietly creep towards 2 euros as these little pieces of the jigsaw fall into place

[jebenn1] 26/9/2006 09:23

Damanko - I wasn't having a go at all, honest! I wouldn't even know how to start a company thread like this so I am several steps ahead of you in onion terms.
Above graph does look better - thanks. JB

[damanko] 25/9/2006 19:05

Sorry chaps. If anyone can spare the time to advise me how to edit the graph options, I will do it. Apologies, am a bit of an onion at this sort of thing.

Other than that, things seem to be gathering pace, a steady dribble of fair to good news, and no hint of any downbeat forecasts from the company itself.

[alan russell] 02/8/2006 08:18

Agreement to supply German market.



I could be tempted to buy a few at last.

[roughjustice] 12/5/2006 14:38

This product strikes me as being a bit like MDF in it's potential. MDF became successful because it helps mills use all of the wood available to them and large scale production of that product didn't start till the 80s. It offered benefit's to the mill and also to the customer.

Accoya has environmental reasons to be used (such as not being able to use uPVC on new built houses, instead they can use Accoya.

Companies benefit from growing woods that can survive outdoor conditions in a considerably shorter period of time, rather than more expensive hardwood. Customers benefit from price.

[jebenn1] 08/5/2006 15:19

Just bought a few this morning. I think this is a reasonably full price and if there is no news it might drift lower, on the other hand if there is some positive newsflow on licencing or details on the factory operation it could spike up.

damanko - I wonder if you would consider changing the axes on the graphs at the top. I think if you reduced the range of the axes it would be a bit more informative. Obviously it's your board though, it's just a suggestion.

Good luck to all.
JB

[alan russell] 05/5/2006 23:23

Nothing we don't already know. To summarise-
Bull points- proven techology- large global market- partnerships in UK and UAE- strong investor backing
Bear points- not yet in commercial production- no forecasts for current year
