Inside the City: Water purifier shows no sign of drying up

ON THE face of it, there’s a lot to like about HaloSource. The AIM-listed tiddler has invented a low-tech water purification system that is both cheap and highly effective. Its potential client base runs into billions of people, from the ultra poor forced to drink dirty water to the mega posh who insist their liquids be filtered every which way. In 2009 America’s Environmental Protection Agency even registered its filter of polystyrene beads bathed in bacteria-killing bromine as the first novel water sanitation technology in 15 years.

Bromine is much more effective at killing germs than chlorine and doesn’t affect the taste. So, next stop, global domination. Or not.

HaloSource has been a disaster since it listed at 135p a share five years ago. On Friday it closed at 15.5p — a drop of nearly 90% from its debut. Under the rosiest scenario, the loss-making developer is two years from breakeven.

Before you dismiss this as yet another science project destined to wither in the AIM weeds, though, consider a few factors.

One is Neil Woodford. The star fund manager, who left Invesco Perpetual last year to set up shop on his own, is a big fan. In November he backed a £7m fundraising to replenish the shrinking balance sheet. His support goes back years. Before he left, Invesco was HaloSource’s biggest shareholder. Woodford Investment now owns a fifth of the company.

HaloSource has supply deals with five companies in the drinking water markets of China, India and Brazil. One of these partners, though unconfirmed, is thought to be Unilever.

Last year sales jumped from $16m (£11m) to $21m, an increase of nearly a third, while it cut its annual loss from $12m to $7.9m. Liberum Capital, the bank that floated HaloSource, slapped a 40p price target on the stock last month.

With a genuinely useful invention and serious backers, HaloSource looks like the perfect punt — just as it did five years ago. But it’s a lot cheaper now.

Big lump in today's Sundat Times.!!

[craigo3] 08/3/2015 09:41

And me I own 000.1% LOL

Yes they are right on track for recovery with a 40p target and looking back at what they was worth in 2010 - 166p they have huge potential. (go back further they have been 260p)

For anyone looking in and not already aware, worth noting that a couple of very well respected investors are major shareholders of HALO.

Woodford Investment Management (Neil Woodford) holds 19.5%

Richard Griffiths holds 5.9%.

Watching Halo is getting boring lately.

[craigo3] 27/2/2015 11:07

Yes I was surprised it didn't rise further a month or so ago when we had some big buys, and then the recent update.

Break even in 2016 maybe it's going to be a longer hold, maybe a few years, but with great returns in the end.

[smart_investor] 26/2/2015 12:21

Apart from a few big trades here and there.

Waiting for next news now...

[craigo3] 26/2/2015 11:11

Yep I'm here, not much happening of late.

Halosource Inc. Com Given Buy Rating at Liberum Capital (HAL)
Posted by Seth Barnet on Feb 13th, 2015

Broker Liberum reiterates BUY HaloSource (HALO). Says 2014 trading update confirmed the growth strategy is on track. The company has five strong drinking water partnerships which have to potential to drive significant sales growth. HaloSource is in a stronger financial position after its $10m fund raise in 4Q14. The shares offer 2.7x upside if the company meets what we believe are realistic and achievable forecasts. It is a high risk share but if HaloSource can build its sales the shares should begin to discount a transformation in the profitability. Price target 40p.
