In the disposal document it referred to the following assets:
Cash - £2.0m or 3.2p a share
Loan Notes - £2.3m or 3.65p per share (plus interest of $1m to 2014 or 1.0p per share)
R&D Tax Credits - up to £250k or .4p a share
Legal Dispute - unknown, possible recovery of costs and payment due to Flexible Systems?

Thus if the loan notes perform, and we assume nothing from the tax credits and the legal battle that gives us 7.85p per share. The rest is upside.

What really worries me is the implied threat also contained in the disposal document ie 'The Company will draw on the deep expertise of the Directors in engineering and industrial technology in order to differentiate it from pure financial investors, but will benefit from the application of the same financial disciplines.'

These guys have do not have the greatest record at RTS (or HEP as I guess we should get used to calling it), and I imagine they are quite capable of frittering away this shareholder value. So the jury is out, though I obviously hope they succeed.

BTW Doerfer are a large private US company, hence no figures available, but who have clearly struggled to pay these loan notes. Therefore getting them paid is not a given.

Why not get Tom Winfrith in as well, with the pair of them together at least investors can have higher confidence of the eventual outcome of this sickly creature..........

Article from the Manchester Business News:
Investors raise stake in Robotic Technology Systems

A Jersey-registered company has increased its stake in Robotic Technology Systems Plc (AIM: RTS), the Salford-based maker of automated handling systems for the food and life science sectors.

Industrial Acquisition Vehicle Ltd, which is backed by London-based investors, made an abortive takeover approach for RTS last year.

The two sides were unable to agree terms but IAV said it wanted to remain involved with the company and put one of its directors on the board.

Today RTS announced that IAV bought another 2.63 million shares on November 26 last year, taking its holding to 17.9 million or 28.73 per cent.

'£3.8m cash in the coffers at the end of March'

Versus current mkt capitalisation of only £1.95 million. With 62 million shares in issue cash is 6.25p and imo everyone reason to buy with cash pile to increase etc despite avoid tag from this article today. These guys tips do the complete opposite and vice versa imho.

Robotic Technology Systems
6 April 2009
Bombed-out technology minnow RTS, the supplier of systems that automate scientific and industrial processes, reported a widening of losses following a trying 2008, although second-half trading showed notable improvement.

As the economy worsened in the year to December, turnover went backwards by 6% to £10.5m, while pre-tax losses widened to £4.8m (2007: £4.1m) after exceptional items (legal and restructuring costs as well as a hefty provision) totalling £5.6m. The final dividend was skipped, though RTS intends, where possible, to return surplus cash to shareholders, having paid out £1.2m via a special final dividend last June.

Encouragingly, sales gathered momentum in the second half, amounting to £5.9m (versus an interim £4.6m), helping RTS to record second-half operating profits of £400,000, albeit with one-off items added back.

For 2009, hopes are high for an improved turn from the life science business, which serves large pharmaceutical clients and sees growth emanating from new product launches. Meanwhile, the restructured and refocused flexible systems business, which failed to convert certain prospects last year as the market weakened, is apparently seeing rising enquiry levels from the food sector and could show strong signs of revitalisation in 2009.

With a healthy £6.5m order book (of which 85% should be 'earned out' this year), £3.8m cash in the coffers at the end of March and currency movements having strengthened its competitive position in Europe and the US, RTS has longer-term turnaround appeal linked to economic recovery.

However, for now, risk-averse investors should probably play it safe and stick to proven, robustly profitable concerns. The shares are best avoided in the short term.

WEALTH WARNING.

Any investor who buys into Treacles pump and dump activity might want to look over at NVR.Sold out this morning on a small fall off,and that the end of him over there.Now he is over to infest your thread.

Watch out for the infamous,4p soon 6p by close and then the "O/T" post which signals he has dumped(although thankfully here it will be at a loss)

As an aside support the Kill the Spread campaign. It is in all our interests!!

See below :-

October 2008 (2)

Dear Supporter,

We wrote to you earlier this month with details of the Kill the Spread campaign objectives - since then word has really started to spread! Below are the links to the latest news and articles written about the campaign over the last two months. Were you aware that the London Stock Exchange is facing a High Court claim of anti-competitive behaviour from Plus Markets??

Change we need.....so what's next?

Since we last wrote to you, we have been approached by several brokers, wanting to know more about the Campaign and offering their assistance!

We were very encouraged by this – it's comforting to know we aren't the only ones complaining about the AIM and its Market Maker system. It's killing their business too!

We have learned a lot from their perspective on the way the AIM works and have now started discussions on some interesting initiatives including:

1/ Ways of creating an alternative Broker account for AIM shares, which could effectively cross stock between buyers and sellers, bypassing Market Makers and avoiding spreads.
2/ Creating a "ring-fenced" nominee account, offering guarantees to shareholders that their stock will not be loaned in the Market to cover short selling.

We think these could be very compelling propositions for Investors and any views or feedback you could give us on this would be very helpful; info@killthespread.com

We are also discussing ways forward to achieve the big systemic changes we are looking for with Direct Market Access, and we hope to be able to update you shortly with some very interesting developments.

We are finding that there is a willingness to listen to the voice of the Private Investor, but to turn these initiatives into constructive measures, we need to prove we have sufficient numbers behind the Campaign.......... and this is where you come in!

Hitting those Numbers!

At this crucial stage your support is essential and we are now asking you to make a really big effort on behalf of Kill the Spread.....

As a growing grass roots movement, we are now being taken seriously. We want our demands to be implemented as soon as possible and the only way we can ensure this happens is to prove beyond questionable doubt that a significant number of Private Investors are totally dissatisfied with the way the AIM market currently operates and are demanding change.

In simple terms - we need to get the numbers up - and fast!


5,000 supporters = ACTION!

Our target is to get to up to 5,000 supporters. We're getting there – but we need to get there quicker!! We are currently up to just over 1,300 supporters on the Poll - so there is still a way to go.

We are getting publicity but we really need the word to spread......So please, make sure you tell as many Investors you know about Kill the Spread.

You can spread the word in the many ways:

Talk to others Investors about the campaign
Post a link to the site on your Blogs
Post a link to the site on Bulletin-boards,
Tell people in you Share Club/Investor Group
Tell Everyone!!

Ask people to sign up at the website


and get them to complete the on-line poll



it won't cost you anything and will only take a few minutes of your time.

Help give us a real push – and remember if every supporter brings in just 3 new supporters - our numbers will quadruple!!

We are now on the brink of making a real difference for all Small Cap Investors - so a big push for more supporters right now is just what we need!

Thank you once again for supporting Kill the Spread – with your support change really is possible!


Kind regards



Campaign Coordinator

I imagine that you won't be regretting your purchase Huge Pants. You seem to be a value investor like myself. Would do the same if I had some spare dosh. I already have quite a few. This is an utterly bonkers market. These shares paid out 2p a share just a few months ago of course.

This company needs some positive news to push the share price forward, its investor relations are woeful. I believe they are still waiting for court enforcement on recovery of monies owed, a statement of progress would be welcome.
