Full year results are at:
Looks to me as if a cash call is inevitable with a loss of £4.0m and cash of £4.7m. But at least with all the options flying about, the loss per share is really less than stated.
The pronouncements are very encouraging, the bottom line not.

Applied Graphene Materials plc

("Applied Graphene Materials", "the Group" or "the Company")

Joint Development Agreements and Collaborations

Applied Graphene Materials plc, the producer of specialty graphene materials, is pleased to announce that the Group has entered into a Joint Development Agreement with Puralube Germany GmbH (shortly to be known as "Puraglobe"), a German based lubricants and oils business that has developed technologies to refine used lubricants and oils. Puraglobe's products are sold to a global customer base for use in applications such as motor oils, hydraulic oils, automatic transmission fluids, process oils, metal working fluids and industrial oils.

Under the Joint Development Agreement, Applied Graphene Materials will develop and format dispersions of its graphene nanoplatelets for inclusion in Puraglobe's sustainable base oil products and speciality technologies. It is anticipated that as result of the collaboration, Puraglobe's graphene loaded base oils will be used across a wide range of industrial and automotive applications, where the unique friction and wear properties of graphene will add significant performance gains as lubricants and machining fluids.

Applied Graphene Materials and Puraglobe are in discussions with several companies seeking to improve the performance of a range of machinery whilst also looking to deliver reduced environmental impact and lower CO2 output through the use of Puraglobe's sustainable products. The Joint Development Agreement with Puraglobe is the second direct Joint Development Agreement where the Group has been permitted to name its commercial counterparty, following on from the announcement in September, of the Group's collaboration with Millers Oils.

As previously reported, the pace and momentum of commercial progress has continued to accelerate. Applied Graphene Materials is engaged with a large number of customers, many of them leaders in their market, where the exact nature of activities remains confidential due to commercial sensitivity. This includes a recent Joint Development Agreement with a European speciality polymers and composites business with niche development activity across the aerospace, automotive and leisure industries. The Group's collaboration partner wishes to preserve confidentiality at this stage, however the agreement is particularly focused on finding early adoption opportunities for graphene nanoplatelets where the material's multi-functionality offers clear benefits. Typical of the properties the collaboration will look to exploit are mechanical toughening, thermal and electrical conductivity as well as enhanced fire resistance.

Final results

Applied Graphene Materials' full year results for the year ended 31 July 2015 are now expected to be announced on Monday 16 November 2015. This represents a change from the previously announced results date.

Thought update was positive especially the part around investing in a production facility and number of samples taken over the last quarter.

[abcd1234] 18/9/2015 08:25

7 to 9% spread.... hmm...
MM's want pi's to take all the risk intraday.

[salpara111] 18/9/2015 08:20

Appears to be gaining some sort of critical mass.
I would imagine getting to 24 hour production will greatly enhance cash flow.

I have no holding here but came accross this that may be of interest, mentions AGM

Oil trials:

Positive results from independent oil trials
Applied Graphene Materials, the producer of specialty graphene materials, is pleased to report positive preliminary findings following independent performance testing on base oils enhanced using graphene produced by the Group. The performance testing was undertaken by BfB Oil Research in Belgium ("BfB").
Base oils are used in a wide range of industries including the manufacture of lubricating greases, motor oils and metal processing fluids.
BfB's initial results demonstrate that low loading levels of the Group's graphene nanoplatelets, within base oils, reduce friction and the wear of metal surfaces. This opens up the route to further development for commercial applications in numerous high performance oils and greases.
Applied Graphene Materials will be sharing the findings of the BfB test programme with its tribology and lubrication industry partners and will also be engaging with other interested parties at the Global Tribology Oil and Lubrication (STLE) Exhibition in Dallas, Texas, between 17 May and 20 May 2015.
Jon Mabbitt, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"Following on from our recent positive independent coatings trial results, it is pleasing to now receive BfB Oil Research's initial findings on graphene enhanced base oils which indicate that these positive results can be translated to higher volume applications. With a scalable manufacturing process, our growing library of test data and a strong technical team, Applied Graphene Materials is well placed to help its customers apply and exploit graphene in their end products and markets."
Michael Boucher, BfB's Technical Manager, commented:
"The results from our test work are very instructive and show that Applied Graphene Materials' well dispersed graphene nanoplatelets offer the potential for significant property improvements in oils and greases. We look forward to continuing to support Applied Graphene Materials' ongoing development work."

According to the FT 32.04% of shares were held by top holders on April 5th
Northstar Ventures Limited took 7.38% on April 21th
Baillie Gifford & Co took 5.74% on April 22nd
IP Group plc took 32% today.
Add 10% owned by the co's professor Karl Coleman.
Meaning 87% of shares are held by major shareholders.
So 2.21 million shares are not held by major shareholders.
Any views?

Applied Graphene Materials, the producer of specialty graphene materials, is pleased to report positive preliminary findings following independent performance testing on graphene reinforced polyurethane coatings using graphene produced by the Group. The performance testing was undertaken by a globally recognised independent coatings expert.

The news lads. I'm now in all three shares GRPH AGM HAYD which all have had unusual movement for no reason.
None seems to have a news sense. Good news sends up shares. Is it the employees buying?

So now we know why the stock shot up at the beginning of the month. Leaky!

[soldi] 14/4/2015 12:51

Yes, technically it's called a retracement. Was expected.

[jswjsw] 13/4/2015 09:08

Up 10% - rumours?

[hiddendepths] 13/4/2015 08:43

Off we go again. There's something going on for sure.

[selborne_edge] 10/4/2015 10:20

I have a small number of shares in BG and the way it rose after the Shell BID was most instructive. I have always thought that AGM is a winner but you just have to be patience. It is certainly a HOLD at present.

[phil1969] 10/4/2015 09:53

Unusual share price movement over the last couple of days on little volume. I agree, I wouldn't be surprised if someone is running a rule over AGM and at just £42mcap a bid would certainly be at a substantial premium. Either way, RNS next week.

[imranawan] 10/4/2015 09:50

By BID do you mean, someone may bid for the company, or actually place an order?

[selborne_edge] 10/4/2015 09:09

There must be a BID in the offing. Graphene is clearly a very valuable material and many manufacturing companies are certain to be interested. The only question is 'where is the share price go to '

[petewy] 10/4/2015 08:55

I'm puzzled as well. HAYD shares took off for no reason from early Jan at 40p to 140p mid March. GRPH is static.
I found this on a BB which will be tomorrow.
