hmm I'm interested, whats the deal with the company? Startup or already working on a project?

Solar/wind/biosomething

edit - ah its just some geothermal licences. Nothing amazing. I'll see what happens after it lists.

 

[gordon2007]

Looks interesting. Any long term target price? I've never got into an IPO before. Will have to do some reading tonight and maybe give it a small punt.

 

[traderboy]

A 20% fall in shares today, time to snap a few up for a quick sale soon after me thinks. Nothing big just a little dabble

 

[grandia3]

price jump from a closing of 0.065 at 10/02/11 to 0.074 at 11/02/11
with 10,000 volume traded
is this an attempt to raise the price?

 

[piggybank]

I'm surprised non of the day traders have posted this already today - or was they hoping to keep it quiet

The news that caused the spike - http://stocknessmonster.com/news-item?S=GER&E=ASX&N=400916

Now this is what you call a candle - over 300%.

Vivid Technology looks forward to updating shareholders on a range of other new opportunities currently underway both domestically and internationally in the near future.

Commercialisation activities at NewCO2Fuels continue to make progress, including in respect of the upcoming commercialisation agreement with Sinopec Engineering (Group) Co Ltd. We anticipate further progress in this regard in the near term, whilst further partnership opportunities across Europe also continue to progress.

Loans advanced to NCF Global Pty Ltd $139,801. - this is a good sign that commercialisation is still progressing. I expect this to happen in 2017.

The global industrial and commercial LED lighting market is expected to reach USD 165.91 billion by 2022, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. High efficiency of LED lights combined with government regulations to ban incandescent lamps is estimated to drive demand over the forecast period.

This is fantastic and the timing could not be more perfect for a freshly cashed-up VIV.

Finkel Report - released 9 June 2017:

Big data and internet-of-things driving innovation and transforming energy use? Sounds familiar. Reminds me of Vivid Technology.

What else is in the Finkel Review of interest? I'm glad you asked.
______________________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________
That's a lot of electricity and emissions! Who could be up to the challenge of reducing energy requirements and emissions? Let's take a look at one of Vivid's recent presentations detailing their track record.

_______________________________________________________________________
What else is in the Finkel review? I recommend reading the whole thing for yourself, but here are the choice excerpts:
_______________________________________________________________________

"REWARD CONSUMERS
Consumers are at the heart of our electricity system. The actions of consumers will
be harnessed to improve the reliability and security of the electricity system and
keep costs down. Consumers will be better informed and rewarded for managing
their electricity demand. System upgrades and new generation will be achieved
at lowest cost.

LOWER EMISSIONS
The electricity sector will do its share to meet Australia’s commitment to reduce
emissions. A long-term emissions reduction trajectory will encourage investment
in system capabilities.

A new Energy Security Board
A new Energy Security Board will drive the implementation of the blueprint on behalf of the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Energy Council. It will have an Independent Chair and Deputy Chair appointed by the COAG Energy Council.

Some energy efficiency improvements can be delivered in the short-term. In particular, large industrial energy savings projects to reduce electricity peak demand, or to reduce gas use to free it up for other uses, including electricity generation, could have strong reliability benefits in the short-term while also reducing the energy bills of large consumers.

Substantive opportunities have been identified in the large consumer sector for cost-effective investment in energy efficiency measures. While the most energy-intensive users have a strong commercial incentive to manage energy closely, industrial energy users may not invest in these projects to the most efficient levels without some form of support or intervention because some of the benefits accrue to the wider energy system, for example through improved reliability.

Despite these existing programs, a large number of submissions called for more to be done on energy efficiency and there appears to be considerable scope for greater use of energy efficiency to improve reliability, security and affordability."

Vivid has the track record and customer base and has been delivering these large industrial energy savings!

"It’s April the 12th 2017, I’m Alan Kohler at the Constant Investor dot com, and I’m about to speak to Sam Marks, the CEO of Vivid Technology, in which I’m an investor."

"The technology is made up of various different sensors. So we effectively get about 86 pieces of data per second out of every light fitting. So we are able to monitor where and when people are going, on behalf of the customer, to only put the light where they need it, when they need it. So it’s really looking at saving any which way we can, to just give them the light they need."

"We can use a different array of sensors. Usually we will put in a daylight sensor. We can measure the daylight coming in to the space. We will have motion sensors, so we can understand where the forklifts are going, where the people are going, so that we can actually ensure that they have the light they need."

"We can have temperature sensors. Infrared. The list goes on. There is no shortage of type of sensors. It depends on what the facility is used for. By the data coming through from those sensors, we can then measure and manage how much light we actually put out, which is only the amount required by the customer, so that we are not using more light than we need. And so the lights are turned off when they are not required. And hence why we start to get fairly deep savings for our customers."

CSIRO gives a shout out.

The Low Emissions Technology Roadmap provides an independent, science-based analysis of the technology options in the energy sector that can help Australia meet its 2030 emissions reduction target and create new opportunities for local industry.

The technologies are grouped according to a series of options or ‘pathways’ that the Australian Government could invest in.

Vivid Technology out of the blocks quickly this morning after the release of their Quarterly Cash Flow Report.

Net operating cash flow of $2.4 million for the quarter was driven by strong growth in customer receipts ($4.8 million for the quarter) and led to a positive cumulative net operating cash flow of $0.7 million for the six months to 31 December 2017.

Now that VIV is cash flow positive with a foundation of strong growth underpinning it, there seems to be greater confidence is the company's future. The share price is up 2.9c to 7.4c so far this morning, a gain of 64.44%. It reached a high of 8.5c but has retreated a little as the profit takers took control at those levels.

Will be interesting to see whether the company can continue to see strong growth in the current quarter.

This is just the beginning.

"Notches on the belt of Vivid are a number bluechip clients including Coca-Cola Amatil, Woolworths, Stockland, Linfox and Dulux. With Vivid’s technology seemingly validated by such well regarded names, the tech company is poised to continue its growth in 2018."

What's planned for NCF in 2018 (based on the recent Alan Kohler interview)

http://www.newco2fuels.co.il/

• Huge opportunity for hydrogen cars (which is of great interest to Japan) – the technology can make hydrogen out of the waste product of a power station for example.
• We have huge gas deposits in Australia. When you drill a gas deposit, three things come out: natural gas, CO2 and H2O. The CO2 is normally vented back into the atmosphere (which is bad), and the H2O is usually pushed back down into the well or left on the surface. VIV’s tech investment can take this H2O and CO2 which would otherwise go to waste, and make more gas. This makes it substantially more profitable, and environmentally sustainable by not venting CO2 into the environment.
• Is it VIV’s intention to sell their 33% ownership eventually? They will look for a home outside of Vivid at some point, and outside of Erdi Group (the other 33% owner) that gives it the best chance of success.
• With the right partners and right financial backing, they would either sell it altogether; list it on the ASX; or just maintain a percentage ownership (with royalties probably). It has a leadership team of its own to take it forward.
• What do they think it’s worth? Looking at the valuation and what it can do (ie. it literally makes 400 million dollar plants substantially more profitable and gives them a sustainability tick) it’s probably worth considerably more than what it’s valued at today on the balance sheet.
• It’s not unrealistic to consider that the 33% holding is worth as much as VIV’s current market cap. (25 million)
• Stay tuned, a new global CEO for NCF has been identified already (see recent announcements).
