Yes, these were once Medi@Invest! But with the share consol and then some more under BRTR, unless you had volumes of these, I'm afraid probably swallowed up in the consol.

Any chance these shares will be relisted? or value back on existing shares.

David and NY

Thanks for the update.

Good article David ... never in the history of business has there been a better climate for the concept of barter - hopefully BRTR will capitalise on the opportunity.

TDO, I got my refund from TDW shorty after DL post. It got credited back into my account automatically, with a letter in the post confirming cancellation of fund raising. You better check with TDW if you haven't got yours!

TDO,

Wouldnt go so far as to say 'con' (:-) but it certainly suprised me and does make one wonder 'why?'. Cant see any positive reasons and thats my concern.
Worth a check with your broker though.
Mine are held in old fashioned paper certificate form, which does sometimes (ironically in this electronic age)prove to be the quicker way to information.

I have just seen your post. I did not realise that it did not go through and I haven't had any refund yet from my broker TDW. The sub shares are still listed in my nominee account even though I can't sell them!

What a con if it did not really go through.

[thedustyone] 07/2/2009 21:41

We are all in then!

Go luck all.

[davidlloyd] 05/2/2009 13:25

Opted for mine too - not a difficult decision in the end.....

[ngen yap] 04/2/2009 22:21

Just picked mine up - let's see where this goes.

[thedustyone] 04/2/2009 20:45

I'm not so sure DL.

I think that they may just be trying to comply with the rules. i.e. As an execution only broker who is not the primary beneficiary of the share option, they need the primary holder's consent to buy his/her option (on the cheap) for themselves. Without doing so, a report to those hard working fellows at the FSA would cause a lot of problems for them.

Thanks for that update. I did receive notification from my broker TDW about the 2 for 5 share option. Was rather expecting my dividend but your note explains it all. As my shares are still held in my nominee account after the delisting, I do not get the updates directly from the company and TDW even suggested that if I did not take up my option that they may do so themselves - very nice of them!

I'm yet to get to grips with why things have gone downhill in the last year when conditions would appear ideal for battering given the lack of credit to companies from the banks. This must also be considered against the back drop of Wayne's optimism and constant "breaking of records" to the upside before the delisting.

Whilst still seeking a copy of the Annual Report, I would be grateful for a quick summary from any pips here who may have read it with a summary of the Board's reasons for the relatively poor performance and ostensibly a new fund raising by the issue of the share options

[davidlloyd] 29/1/2009 16:02

Received a summary of results yesterday and was rather disapointed - though still need to digest most. Of interest is that there is a 2 for 5 share option to purchase at £10 nominal share value (great and should be a 'no-brainer' - but only if future is secure of course) - to increase paid up share capital to ~5million.

From what I remember there were some issues with BCAI and falls in turnovers in all but BCNZ. Significant consolidation already undertaken(reduction in head count across the companies). Also looks like Wayne maybe jumping back onto the board in OZ (BCA) due to poor performance clause (or something along those lines, my recollections only, NOT necessarily facts).

Anyway, conditions have been tough, but was hoping that it was a time that would encourage barter trading, but this has definately not proved to be the case. however, Wayne sums up with characteristically upbeat comments. Would seem to me that things are under control.

Doing well in Thailand:

[aporterman] 15/10/2008 12:53

Not sure of year end ... but surely, it is the perfect environment for the bartering business.

[thedustyone] 14/10/2008 22:37

When next are we due a dividend or is that expecting too much from Wayne in the current environment?
