Posted at 21/6/2013 14:32 by typo56 BrianGeeee, I suggest Investor Relations is directed to the same line. |
Posted at 21/6/2013 12:09 by typo56 Seems even institutional investors not taken in this time. Time to pull the plug. And about time too IMO.So what's going to happen about warranty and long term service for the installed base...small as it is? |
Posted at 06/6/2013 10:44 by briangeeee So, what's the way forward from here? Any ideas? How do they persuade investors to stump up 0.25p/share in a rescue, leaving £3.5m of value in the hands of existing investors?Sometimes you can find an existing investor who wants to protect his existing investment, and is happy to pour more good money after bad. But I guess that sort can be difficult to find - especially if they've been fooled that way previously. |
Posted at 25/3/2013 16:16 by typo56 Melton, I don't see signs of committed investors here, just one of two people who bought higher up and are waiting for the next pump & dump to exit. It's one way to play it, possibly the only way.Looking back at this thread I see that a few days ago 41 posted "if they can sell 100 of these gadgets per day working say on a five day week turnover would be 5mil" That assumes VPhase receive £200 for each unit? I'd venture it's a lot less than that, perhaps in the order of £120? The one-off trade price via distribution channels is around £165. So assuming they really can sell 100 per day at, say, £120 each at 25% margin that would be an annual margin of £750k....with overheads of £2m. Still some way to go! How many did they sell in 2012? Average of about 40 per day? How come they've got £1.1m tied up in inventories but an annual turnover of just £1.4m? £1.1m is more than they'd have required in inventories for the whole of 2012. I can't imagine many components have a long lead time. Do they manufacture in-house or subcontract? Have they entered into a supply agreement based on optimistic sales assumptions, or are sales really increasing that rapidly? Another thing I'm wondering about is revenue recognition. I assume from the revenue recognition statement in the 2011 Annual Report that revenue is only recognised when goods have been called off and delivered, rather than on receipt of a call-off order. |

Posted at 05/3/2013 12:33 by melton john I doubt enough to dent these awful figures from the interims-- Revenue up 227% to GBP658,000 (2011: GBP201,000) -- Overheads reduced to GBP993,000 (2011: GBP1,180,000) -- Loss reduced to GBP805,000 (2011: GBP1,082,000) Tell me how this company would be worth more than its present market cap (£8.3M) which has a helluva lot of good news already priced in. This is just a hobby for the directors and while mugs keep buying new shares in placings they could go on for ages but not make enough money to pay back investors. |
Posted at 23/6/2011 17:05 by intouch JUNE 23, 2011 7:29 AM PDTGE challenge seeds consumer clean-tech start-ups by Martin LaMonica General Electric and five venture capital companies today said they will invest $63 million in ten green-tech start-ups working in home energy, bringing them both money and credibility. GE will also give five $100,000 grants to less-developed companies creating products around household energy efficiency and solar power. The three areas of investment were solar, communications and software, and energy efficiency, said Ecomagination Challenge director Tore Land. The fundings are part of GE's $200 million Ecomagination Challenge program launched last year to solicit ideas to improve the electric grid. GE and its venture capital partners invested in smart-grid and renewable energy companies in the first phase and then launched a second home-energy challenge earlier this year. The ten companies to receive money had received financial backing from other sources and, in most cases, are already selling products. But having GE as an investor brings more recognition to these small companies and gives them access to GE's engineering and marketing know-how. "Having a company with the stature and the clout in the marketplace like GE which says 'Yes, we believe in this and look at the profits and revenues we are generating' is the kind of impetus this industry needs," said David Prend from venture capital company Rockport Capital during a webcast today. The ten companies are Ember, which makes low-power chips for smart meters and building sensors; carbon and energy management software maker Hara; GMZ Energy, which makes thermoelectric chips that convert heat from solar panels and other sources to electricity; Nuventix, which makes LED cooling systems; sensor networking company On-Ramp Wireless; green building company Project Frog; residential solar financing company SunRun; microgrid and smart-grid company Viridity Energy; home voltage optimization company VPhase; and wireless charging company WiTricity. GE intends to create a $20 million fund for pilot-testing products from Ecomagination Challenge winners, establish a challenge specific to China, and a $5 million seed fund for Europe. GE is also creating an internal team to work with its start-up partners on ways to bring their products to market, said chief marketing officer Beth Comstock. "One of the learnings from this is that it's not just the money. It's really about the collective brainpower and the sharing of operational expertise," Comstock said. "Start-ups want to see their ideas live, they want the ability to scale, and bring that to market. Those are resources that GE has that a VC doesn't necessarily have." In one effort to get start-up products to market, GE partnered with Best Buy which will sell VPhase's home energy system which can cut electricity use by 10 percent and an air conditioning control system from grant awardee Suntulit which cuts energy use by 30 percent. Best Buy will also start selling GE's Nucleus home energy management system in early 2012 for $149 and its LED bulbs later this year. Since launching the Ecochallenge program last July, GE has reviewed 5,000 business plans and invested $168 million in 22 companies or partnerships. Land said that GE was impressed with the quality of the submissions. In some cases, GE and its venture capital partners didn't invest or partner, but a number of direct connections between challenge participants happened. "There is a global passion for eco-innovation, it's almost like people were rooting for sports teams," Comstock said. "It become like Match.com for innovators to find each other." |
Posted at 15/6/2011 10:19 by jamesmaggs Higher sales values to come for green homesPosted by Allan Guy on Wed, Jun 08, 2011 New official guidance, to be launched in summer 2011, will make sustainability features a core consideration in the valuation of homes. This may have real benefits for house builders, landlords and homeowners wondering how to finance green measures for homes the subject of two conferences we are running in June. The draft guidance The draft guidance by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) tasks valuers to be aware of and consider demand for sustainability features in the housing market. This follows similar guidance (RICS Guidance Note VIP 13 150909) on the subject for commercial properties. Features noted include insulation, drainage to reduce flooding, the adaptability of homes for future needs and the use of renewable technologies like solar panels. Research supporting the new guidance suggests that values in for energy efficient homes may increase by 2-3%. The new guidance may be a crucial turning point for a market where despite growing demand, vendors have long struggled to capitalise on green investments. Homeowners, developers and investors have complained that while Government has pushed for more sustainable homes, the market has failed to pay for them. Sustainable homes may cost more to build, be more comfortable, cheaper to run and more desirable, but this has not been formally recognised by valuers. Mortgage providers have in turn been uneasy about lending for higher purchase prices, hindering market demand. New guidance will support the Green Deal, FITs and RHI The change comes at an important time. The Government committed this month to reduce carbon emissions to 50% of 1990 levels by 2025. This is to be driven by an ambitious plan to stimulate market demand for energy efficiency and low carbon energy through the Green Deal, feed in tariffs (FITs) and the renewable heat incentive (RHI). With housing organisations increasingly reliant on a slack market, confidence in return on investment will be vital. This new guidance for valuers will give the market another boost following a Government announcement this week that the Green Investment Bank will support home energy efficiency with lower finance costs. The guidance will also help landlords who have taken the initiative to understand the best routes to investment in green measures in their stock (something that Sustainable Homes have helped with). Evidence suggests higher returns and lower vacancy rates for low energy homes and offices The RICS guidance for residential property, which concluded its consultation period this month, and is expected to be published later this year follows several studies into the value of sustainability features on the market and guidance published last year for the commercial sector. A RICS study On the economics of EU energy labels in the housing market (2010) found a strong correlation between energy rating and value. The study concluded that, particularly in areas of high support for the green agenda, energy performance certificates were being used to gain a market edge. Across the country properties with ratings of A, B or C were found to be selling at a premium of 2.8%. In commercial real estate a study of sale prices and in the US in 2007 showed lower vacancy rates & higher rents in buildings certified to the US environmental and energy standards LEED and Energy Star. A forthcoming paper by Wiley, Benefield and Johnson of offices in 46 metropolitan USA markets identified a 15-18% rental premium for LEED / 7-9% for Energy Star. Guidance to become part of a global framework Consideration of sustainability has now become part of the RICS global valuation guidance outlined in the official manual for valuers the RICS Red Book. It seems it won't be long before the same happens for residential property and not a moment too soon.

One buyer was understood to have snapped up the lot amid speculation that the maker of products to cut electricity bills may still be in line to tie-up with a large energy company. Tests have indicated that its kit cuts electricity bills in social housing by 8.7%. |
