From memory, Stan Howard was at the helm of Yates garden products, when they had problems around 2000. Did my dough on that one also.

April has been an up and down month for Electro-Optic, and today's Appendix 4c quarterly is abit gloomy, reciting the disruptions of COVID-19, the effect of which look to be unsettling for some months to come.

That being said, should it come to pass that May sees a brightening of future skies, EOS might just attact attention from investors wanting to get in ahead of the game.

Last close at $4.70.
 
Probably a better 'defence spend' play

The Electro Optic Systems Hldg Ltd share price has rocketed 22% higher to $6.52. This follows an announcement by the defence-focused technology company that it has entered into contract negotiations with the Commonwealth of Australia for the acquisition of 251 Remote Weapon Stations and related materiel. This is part of the government’s $270 billion capability upgrade for the Australian Defence Force.
 
Electro Optic Systems Holdings Ltd has achieved a major breakthrough in laser technology which significantly advances the global effort to mitigate space debris.

The innovation involves the use of a Guide Star Laser to allow high speed adaptive optics to form laser beams that can track and move space debris at lower altitudes and faster speeds than ever previously possible. This intellectual property has been developed by EOS in collaboration with the Space Environment Research Centre, and will now be commercialised and owned by EOS, with applications including space debris mitigation and high bandwidth satellite communications.

 
Is the EOS ship slowly sinking?

I can't believe that their SP has dropped for so long when there is so much potential in the current climate of world fear and investment in technology.

Potential doesnt drive share price! Have a look at the financials & you will understand the depressed price. Also the Bart factor looms large. That's a red flag for any business IMO. Always check the board & top 20 holders. I have a blacklist I check against them.
 
With Russian missiles launching everyday -

 
22.4% up today, must be a big announcement coming very soon.

Don't get excited yet, could easily fall as fast.
 
It was $10 before Covid appeared, so in the 2 years it has been a steady decline. And $1.60 was only a week ago

the defence spend is only going to increase, though

Another good day.

I didn't know the company during the $10 days, I discovered them during the Covid crash and topped up during their super lows. This one is a medium term hold for me. though the continual price drop has got me thinking about a sell.

 
Be careful, management is the risk with this one, the Bart effect is poison for shareholders sooner or later!

Ah, so you remember another company director of the same surname.

However, Mr Bart resigned as chair of EOS some time ago and is no longer on the Broad.
 
Can anyone tell me why pay $1.20 for a SPP when you can currently pick up the shares for between $0.975 - $1.01

 
Bart & Dennis bailing should have been the red flag, if they couldn't wring anymore out of shareholders it was a clear sign the game was over.
So, no, no one can tell you why you should pay over the odds for this train wreck!
 
Well, looks like a spanner has been put into the works to make things interesting -

 
Yep, I think it goes to zero if nothing happens, so the operating business sold off to SOL makes sense. A real and honest management team can likely run the business profitably.

interesting, indeed. So if BKW have 26.1% of SOL, and SOL has, by announcement, 6.21% of EOS, then BKW would be close to or at 19.9% of EOS? And when new shares are issued under the SPP, then these percentages are likely to change again.

Which makes this from BKW clear to some:
EOS up and now trading around $1.09

Also, a lot of companies give a VWAP formula that can protect the downside of a SPP, following a placement. From EOS:
 
Article in the AFR on EOS today, things look terminal. BKW/SOL probably ends up with the bits of the business it wants and the rest goes to 0.

Violins please.

Former chief of army and EOS chairman, Peter Leahy, says an EOS subsidiary called SpaceLink has the potential to be a critical part of the AUKUS security pact, but it needs more capital than can be supplied by EOS.

Leahy says there are good geopolitical reasons why the Australian government should step in to provide longer-term funding for SpaceLink, which needs up to $300 million to achieve its commercial goals.

It allows for almost instantaneous global communications, which means you can move information securely and safely in large volumes.
That means you can command globally dispersed operations which is something we’ve been trying to achieve for a long time".
