That 3000000 sell earlier today was for about 4-5 grand. Hardly anything to worry about, just goeas to show how illiquid this stock is. On the plus side, it won't take much to make these triple! Lets hope for some good news.

Can anybody tell me when the results are due on this one....Is there a website for this company...and what are the general feelings for the future.

Possible new investor....

More money is needed or this one is going under.
Price finally moved from 0.75p but unfortunately down to 0.5p.
Large seller of 3m shares at only 0.15p.
Either knows something or is very keen to get out.
These reached £2 during the tech-boom.

[stompalot] 28/11/2001 15:45

I think it was a sell.....the price was very low.

[kourdos] 28/11/2001 15:09

Was the 3M trade today a buy ? Not sure, since the price droped from 0.5-0.75 to 0.25-0.5 p. Some people are still betting some pocket money though by buying...

jwoolley,

Web site at

The companys product is excellent. I think a little ahead of it's time.
The products take an exact digital image of a person including texture to use in plastic surgery, rebuilding after serious burns.etc.

Another exciting angle on the product is to put an exact image of yourself into a computer game. Your face/features in a game.

Future of the company is unknown, not sure when the results are.
Afewbob spoke to TCT the other day and looking at his post above they seem to be quite upbeat.

I hold quite a few at 5p.....so i'd like them to survive.

Take a look at the website and see what you think.

I am a huge fan of the technology as is really is excellent, but they do seem to have a few problems selling the product. The main sales come from the states who are in recession................IMHO DYOR ETC

Good luck

3m+ dumped at 0.15p.

[a.fewbob] 28/11/2001 09:39

Starting to move but the spread is huge.

[stompalot] 27/11/2001 06:39

Excellent news..........maybe TCT are not dead yet!


Stomps

[a.fewbob] 27/11/2001 01:25

Contacted the company today.

They actually seemed upbeat and said business was progressing as normal on all fronts. Results due soon so we will soon know! Any good news and we may see TCT play catch up.

[a.fewbob] 21/11/2001 12:11

regular 50000 buys, only 500 quids worth but sooner or later even these might push up the price.

[stompalot] 21/11/2001 06:37

could be people averaging down a bit..
BTW i've had no response to my email mentioned on the iii board.

Stomps

[a.fewbob] 15/11/2001 01:06

With a market cap of 1 million all we need is a tiny bit of buying pressure and this will triple as the MMs scramble for stock. It has been happening all week with small techs.

[tyranosaurus] 08/11/2001 18:42

There was a buy of 475k shares at 1p today.
I know this is only £4750 but it still takes a brave man to do it!

[mike the mechanic] 02/11/2001 10:33

Has anyone got further information on TCTi?
Any chance that a company will make an offer and put us all out of our misery?

TCT International Plc ('TCTi') 10 September 2001

Restructuring of Operations

In the AGM statement issued last week, the Board stated that the Directors and
their advisors were reviewing a number of options to ensure the continuation
of the business. Whilst the board is in discussions with a number of parties
in respect of either a re-financing or disposals, the Board believes, in light
of the current turbulent financial markets, that more time is required to
complete any transaction.

As a result the Board has therefore decided to down size the company in order
to best protect the value of TCT's intellectual property, while continuing to
support existing customers and work towards building strategic alliances.
Regretfully the Board has today issued redundancy notices to the majority of
the workforce, leaving a core team of nine people who will continue to build
on the opportunities developed over the last twelve months.

The Group will continue to keep shareholders informed of developments as soon
as is possible.

Board Changes


As part of the reduction of salaries occurring under the restructuring of
operations announced earlier today, Nigel Taunt will be stepping down from his
role as Finance Director of TCTi. However, the Board is pleased to announce
that Nigel will remain on the board of TCTi as a non-executive director, and
that the group will therefore continue to benefit from his extensive
experience and capabilities (yes, it really does say this) through this crucial period.

I'm fine thanks, I hope your ok to.

Thanks for your as ever insightful views. The last two resignations are very worrying when you consider no explenation has been given(always a bad sign).

I wonder what Jupiter with there 20% stake make of things?

Regards and all the best,

AFB.

[a.fewbob] 08/9/2001 12:42

Hi ZHO,

What do you make of recent events?
What do they mean by "negotiating a trade sale"?

Nice to know you are still keeping an eye on events.

Regards.

[zho] 08/9/2001 09:04

Hi Fewbob,

Long time no speak. Hope you're well.

I'm not really keeping an eye on events - I'm just on TCT's mailing list - and I hadn't even spotted the sentence on a trade sale.

What do I think of recent events? Well, you read my posts on iii 6 months back. I think that Chris Lane is venal, Nigel Taunt is incompetent, and that the non-execs should have left months ago after so spectacularly failing to protect shareholders' interests:

Voting a 70% pay increase to a man with Chris Lane's record of failure and then rescinding it in favour of a grant of 5m options was curious to say the least. But tying a shareholder vote to approve grant of options to one expanding the share capital (therefore enabling continuance of the business) was just jaw-droppingly iniquitous.

I presume that they've resigned now either because i) they know the Company's going bust and don't want their CVs sullied, or because ii) they've dared to challenge Chris Lane's blinkered megalomania (cf. previous key board members Guy Fowler, Charles Bunker, Anne Glover, Sir Richard Needham).

These directors were people of vision, intelligence and probity, and plenty of other good people have left TCT in the last 2 years. Even the COO was allegedly touting his CV around 3 months ago, although his name is still on the web site.

What do they mean by a trade sale? Hmm. Well .. a couple of years ago they had good relationships with a number of large medical imaging companies but unfortunately Chris Lane has blown all these out, sometimes in an unfeasibly arrogant manner, er, allegedly. Any of these could afford TCT out of loose change but some have now got alternative (although far more expensive) solutions to their problems (e.g. GE Medical are marketing a dual head scanner. TCT's multi modal fusion could have been used to effect the same outcome of registering MRI and PET scans, but at far less cost).

A year or so ago, there were persistent, plausible and highly-placed rumours in the City that the Company wanted the share price lower in order to dilute the interests of founding shareholders, wrongly perceived to be potentially troublesome. If this were true then the strategy would seem to have backfired rather badly ... except that Chris Lane has allegedly boasted about taking 3Q private through a vehicle in which his own stake would be disguised.

All hearsay and unverified rumour, of course.

Hope your other investments are performing rather better ;)

[stompalot] 07/9/2001 19:21

donalc...i agree. Top management need to go. They have not brought in the results the shareholders want. I also think they need to look at licencing the products on an annual basis. This outright buy does not seem to be working.
Plus...dump 3Q or sell 3Q it's not bringing in any revenue and is just costing money. As the AGM statement said - great media coverage for 3Q - but not great sales.

Good luck....Stomps

[donalc] 07/9/2001 14:31

looks like we are down a lot more! Unless someone takes over this company soon there will be big problems.

[stompalot] 22/8/2001 17:21

Anyone know when next results are out ?

I hope they sell something by then...i'm down around 50%.

[craggle] 20/8/2001 16:32

Apologies donalc...

I make you right...some punters have lost more, however the only reason I am only 50% down is because I averaged my price some time ago...

At the moment it just feels like I sent more money down the TCT pan!!!

Is it me or is this one of the most frustrating companies to ever invest in...?

We need some NEWS...!?

[a.fewbob] 18/8/2001 12:52

I once had to buy one share of baltimore technology(in the good old daya when they traded at 120p) because my broker accidently sold 1 to many for me.
