Joined you once more in a microcap, riddlerone, using some JBH
t/o proceeds to buy NSO at 0.63p

[riddlerone] 15/10/2006 19:52

Interesting article a bit old but very relevant,as for page three i hope we can tick all the boxes as yes.

[riddlerone] 13/10/2006 14:55

Thanks for the welcome Abubryn.

[abubryn] 13/10/2006 13:49

Looks like a tree shake to get a few shares to the mms before good news breaks ? .

[abubryn] 13/10/2006 13:38

riddlerone just a small point [hopefully we can make this a productive and friendly board .]Productive it has not been because few posters have kept it afloat for a long time .Friendly it has always been ,and we extend that to all and any, like, newcomers .

[quidnunc] 13/10/2006 09:20

They may be treating organically. Trying to grow organically is slooooooooow

[riddlerone] 12/10/2006 16:27

Just trying to get a picture of the directors and their experience,heres the first Einar Gamman

[riddlerone] 12/10/2006 13:15

Must say i am guilty of purchasing as few over the last few days.By the way you guys are more than welcome to any research i find and hopefully we can make this a productive and friendly board...regds

[maytrees] 12/10/2006 13:09

TX riddlerone. I hope that you (and your p/f)
are also thriving

A possible home for some of my JBH t/o proceeds then.

The first JBH cash tranche went into PDX at just about
the right time but for the remainder (ie most)
my broker seems slower than yours.

[riddlerone] 12/10/2006 13:00

Good to see you Maytrees,hope you are well.The only options i can see that are current are 18.5million at 0.5p.This at the moment is only 90k and minimal dilution as the share price is around the issue price and the cash would just go on the balance sheet. The other options that were issued on Oct 03 have expired in Sept 06.The directors always seem to take an active part in buying shares on the open market which i think is a good thing.
NSO are i believe on the verge of a major breakthrough in revenues.The two plants they have now seem to be providing enough profit and more to cover operating costs and marketing for the whole group.The on-rig treatment unit is now at a critical point and once succesfull trials are over i am sure we will begin to see its true potential.They intend to produce these units and then rent/lease them to the relevant rig owners so each will be a source of recurring revenue.The costs and income from the units still isnt clear but i will endeavor to find out as much as i can over the coming weeks.
Of course NSO still also have their waste treatment solution projects which although not high in revenues still add to income over the full year.
All in all i think its a good risk/reward investment but as you know DYOR

[mjcrockett] 12/10/2006 12:35

Riddlerone, Thanks for posting the Envirodaq piece. It is encouraging to hear that the directors believe that the Nature Group has "exciting immediate prospects for growth".

MJ

[maytrees] 12/10/2006 09:31

Greetings riddlerone

Your research/posts on the JBH thread always impressed so I thought
that I would give NSO a look.

Its product/service seems to have found an excellent niche. From a
PI investing point of view though, are there not a large no
of directors' options etc extant, which will dampen the share price and dilute?

[abubryn] 11/10/2006 15:47

Thanks for that riddlerone .A lot going on behind the scenes and it explains directors buying .I think they are at it again,we will soon see in a couple of days .

[riddlerone] 11/10/2006 15:08

Good afternoon all,i know this is from July but i dont know if any of you have seen this .The interesting thing is that its written by NSO and not Envirodaq

Nature Technology Solutions Limited
1) Introduction
The Nature Group activities commenced in 1997 in the UK and Gibraltar at the time of being awarded a long term contract to build and operate an oil waste reception and treatment operation in the Port of Gibraltar. This plant was commissioned in 2001 at the time of listing of the Group on the AIM section of the London Stock Exchange.
Nature Group activities in Norway commenced at a similar time in 1997 with the development of a flocculent based adsorbent for separation of hydrocarbons, suspended solids and heavy metals from water to a very low residual level. This was used by Nature in the Maureen platform decommissioning and in other applications.
In 2002 the UK and Norwegian activities merged under the current Group name and relisted on AIM.
Since 2002, the Nature Group has achieved;
Expansion of Gibraltar operations through a joint venture commenced in 2003, now handling 40,000 cu.m.'s per year, and operating Gibraltar's overall Port Waste Management.
Establishment and expansion of a reception and treatment facility in Stavanger Norway, handling mainly oil industry oil wastewaters and now as an enlarged joint venture treating in excess of 10,000 cu.m.'s of complex wastewaters per year.
Joint Oil Industry research programs with 4 multinational oil companies on the applications of the patented Nature adsorbent to reservoir produced waters.
Development and launch in August this year of an on rig containerised treatment unit, capable of meeting discharge requirements set by environmental agencies and oil companies for discharge to sea.
Successful installations for complex wastewater treatment at a leading European plant manufacturer and trials for treatment solutions at a large international dry dock facility. Other successful build and supply contracts and a 2 year contract at the Shell Sola refinery decommissioning.
The Nature Group offers proprietary engineered treatment solutions based on both the green Nature adsorbent and if appropriate to the solution, successful constant flow biotreatment demonstrating minimal sludge generation over long periods of use.
2) USP www.naturetechnologysolution.com
3) Competition
The Nature Group is not aware of any proven or successful utilisation of a similar flocculent or additive achieving the effects of the Nature CF 200 adsorbent and our compact dissolved gas flotation units. However many fluids treatment and waste companies serving the oil industry are believed to be seeking to identify similar solutions.
In biotreatment there are some European competitors offering constant flow treatment solutions. It is believed that the Nature success over several years in at least 3 proven locations is relatively an improvement on other offered solutions.
As to reception facilities; Gibraltar operations have 17 years remaining on a 20 year Government contract. In Norway, Nature offers the most successful and professional treatment plant in the Stavanger region.
4) Financial Performance
In 2005 Nature generated a small surplus before depreciation and amortisation, on revenues of £950,000. Revenues attributable to the Nature Group should exceed £1.2 million in 2006 and with continued growth in performance at the two joint ventures a better Group result is anticipated.
Net Tangible Assets attributable to shareholders exceed £2 million with no debt.
5) Future Prospects
Continued growth in volumes and revenues at the Gibraltar and Stavanger treatment sites is expected. The success of the new 'on rig' treatment module following trials in August 2006, should lead to considerable growth in activity at the Group's new subsidiary, Northern Treatment. This is not included in the revenue prospects above. Overall the Directors believe that the Nature Group has exciting immediate prospects for growth.
6) Management
The technical and engineering management of the Group is located in Stavanger , Norway , led by Stig Keller a co-founder of the Group and Trond Aarestrup the General Manager. The Chairman Richard Eldridge, who initiated the Gibraltar project in 1996/7, is based at the Group's UK engineering support office in the West Country. The treatment centres in Gibraltar and Stavanger have their own managing director and general manager respectively, leading a combined staff of some 15 people. New prospects are under review in many locations worldwide. These are processed both in Norway and the UK.
Nature Technology Solutions - main completed projects:
99-00 Treatment of over 5000 cbm of produced water from Jotun at SAR. Oil in water discharge achieved was below 5 ppm.
00 Treatment of 800 cbm of oily ballast water for ØSI in Moss. Oil in water discharge in project was below 5 ppm, from the new Nature mobile treatment unit.
01-02 Treatment of over 5000 cbm of oily washing/ballast water from Phillips' Maureen Platform. Average outlet was below 5 ppm on average, the project was performed offshore at Aker Stord.
