Entry into Retail Analytics market

 

FD (AIM: FDP.L, ESM: FDP.I) announces its entry into the retail analytics market, using its Kx technology as a platform to develop solutions under a team of leading retail technology specialists recently recruited by the Group. The move opens up an addressable opportunity which, according to MarketsandMarkets, is expected to grow at 19% per annum to be valued at more than $5 billion per annum in 2020.

 

The explosion of data volumes in the retail industry is driving demand for technologies that can provide real-time analysis, which Kx, with its pedigree in handling the most demanding data challenges in capital markets, is ideally placed to meet. FD has demonstrated the capabilities of Kx to a number of leading retailers across various market segments and as a result has identified an attractive range of solutions delivering high return on investment for prospective retail customers. These solutions include analytics combining streaming and historical data around point of sale, inventory control and planning, loss prevention and customer insights. Kx's ultra-high performance, enhanced by predictive analytics and machine learning capabilities, provides the ideal next generation platform for retail analytics.

 

To deliver this opportunity FD has recruited a team of leading retail technology specialists headed by Damon Bryan, Peter Denby and Thomas Hill, who have held senior leadership positions at leading retailers including Asda and Walmart and consumer brands such as Sky. Their experience includes the creation of innovative data-driven solutions that have delivered operational efficiencies and competitive advantage across multiple industries.

 

FD intends to develop solutions that will focus on analysing large volumes of data in real time to allow instant decision making that supports the customer and provides operational efficiencies, as well as allowing business units to make more profitable decisions and provide an organisation-wide view of performance across multiple business units.

 

Damon Bryan commented: "There is more data than ever in retail and this is growing as the industry becomes technology and multi-channel focused, but many retailers are still struggling to realise the full potential value through genuine, simple and executable solutions. Kx's ability to deal with huge volumes of data takes the art of what is possible to the next level. Combining Kx with our proven retail analytics solutions and expertise will provide incremental value in areas such as merchandising, marketing and operational optimisation to deliver huge and immediate value to retailers."

 

Brian Conlon, Chief Executive Officer of FD, commented: "We are confident that the market-leading performance of our technology has the capability to disrupt a number of markets, of which retail is one that we consider to be sufficiently attractive to develop our own solutions. Combining the power of Kx with the deep domain expertise of Peter, Thomas and Damon will enable us to quickly develop and market solutions that we believe leading retailers will find compelling."

Concepta plc ("Concepta" or "the Company")

New manufacturing facility in Doncaster

 

Concepta plc (AIM:CPT), the UK healthcare company targeting the personalised mobile health market with a primary focus on women's fertility, is pleased to announce that it has signed a 10 year lease for its new manufacturing facility in Doncaster, Yorkshire. The addition of this new facility will provide the Company with the necessary capacity and economies of scale as it pushes ahead with the launch of its MyLotus product for unexplained infertility* into China in Q4 2016 and, following CE marking, into the UK and Europe in 2017.

 

The newly built 6,000sqft premises are at the Bullrush Grove Business Park and will employ 8 full-time staff over time together with ad-hoc temporary staff when needed. The facility will be used to manufacture lateral flow test strips for the Company's MyLotus product.  The site has office-space already fitted and the Company is now establishing the manufacturing, warehousing and Quality Control areas. The site will be fully operational in Q1 2017 and has significant capacity for further expansion.

 

Concepta will situate all of its customer-facing roles at the new Doncaster facility, whilst its recently opened laboratory site in Colworth, Bedfordshire will continue as the Company's primary R&D base.

 

Erik Henau, CEO says: "We are pleased to have signed the lease on this excellent location for our UK manufacturing operations. Concepta has a commitment to Yorkshire through one of the earliest backers of our business: Finance Yorkshire. The securing of this new facility is essential to the Company's continued growth and it will provide the capacity to support our flagship MyLotus fertility product following its targeted launch in China later this year and across Europe in 2017.  

 

"Additionally, following the recent opening of our state of the art research and development hub in Bedfordshire, the Company is well positioned for new product development in the wider mobile health space and we look forward to updating the market on further exciting developments in due course."

About Concepta Plc:

Concepta plc is a pioneering UK healthcare company that has developed a proprietary platform and products targeted at the personalised mobile health market with a primary focus on women's fertility and specifically unexplained infertility*.

 

Founded in 2013, Concepta has developed a revolutionary flagship product 'MyLotus' for home self-testing that helps women with unexplained infertility to conceive.  

 

MyLotus is the only consumer product which allows both quantitative and qualitative measurements of measurement of a woman's personal hCG and LH hormone levels in an easy to use home test to facilitate higher conception rates and early diagnosis of any fertility problems.  Competitor products currently only allow qualitative measurement and are based on the 'average woman'.  

 

Concepta has a defined route to market for its new 'My Lotus' product with Regulatory approvals for launch in China in place for 2016 and CE-Marking for UK and Europe to follow in 2017 where the revenue potential of the Chinese and EU infertility market is worth c.£600m per annum for the company.

 

*Unexplained infertility refers to women that have been unable to conceive after 6 months of trying. This highly motivated target group of consumers won't typically be offered medical intervention until 12 months of unsuccessfully trying, with IVF not offered until two years. Research indicates couples start to take positive action ahead of this time and there is little medical support to help them do so.

Forestry Update – Award of CPI

 

Highlights

·     Forestry subsidiary awarded Centro De Promocao de Investments (Investment Promotion Centre – CPI) status within Mozambique, conditional on $3 million phased investment plan

·     Exemption from VAT and customs duties chargeable on goods/machinery needed for production expansion for a five year period

·     IRPC (Corporation Tax) offsets for 5 fiscal years of up to 10% inward investment with further available allowances in those fiscal years relating to local training costs, public use building construction and cultural heritage protection

·     Freedom for repatriation of profits outside of Mozambique

·     Equitable compensation rights against assets being expropriated and arbitration through World Bank's International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes and/or ICC.

 

 

Obtala Limited, the African focused agricultural and forestry company, is pleased to announce that its forestry subsidiary, Argento Mozambique Lda ("Argento"), has been awarded CPI status by the Mozambican authorities entitling it to various tax benefits and protections in return for inward investment from the Company's subsidiary Argento Continental Corporation.

 

CPI is a government institution with a mandate to attract and facilitate the establishment of private domestic and foreign direct investment in Mozambique.  Companies operating under CPI status also have the advantage of non-tax benefits including insurance services specifically to offset investment risk, VAT exemption on domestic acquisitions, and importantly, legal protections and compensation against expropriation with international bodies.

 

In order to satisfy qualification for CPI status Argento is required, amongst other things, to implement a phased investment plan of $3m over a 5 year period.  If this investment were not made, CPI status would be revoked rather than this amount constituting a debt. 

 

This award covers all operations within Mozambique and allows Argento to apply for Industrial Free Zone (IFZ) status with Mozambique's Office for Accelerated Development Economic Areas (Gazeda).  Gazeda established a duty free zone located in the district of Nacala, Nampula province in 2007 which services the export of our timber to international markets via Nacala Port.  Achieving IFZ status in Nacala would lead to further enhanced tax incentives.

 

The Company is in continued talks with investors regarding inward investment via the previously announced Argento Preference Share.  Investor due diligence trips are scheduled to our African operations in November with regard to this matter. 

 

Miles Pelham, Chairman of Obtala commented "The award of CPI status by the Mozambican authorities is a highly significant and welcome development as we seek to bolster our production capabilities within the country.  We anticipate that the forestry division will drive revenue expansion and as such CPI tax benefits should have material future impact on our bottom line.  The exemption from VAT will reduce the level of Capex required to bring our Forestry assets into full production.

 

This award underlines our already strong commitment to Mozambique.  As well as providing inward investment we anticipate that our activities will have significant positive social impact through job creation, training and upskilling of local labour and a sustainable approach to forestry operations."

 

 

More details on the Special Economic Zones and their benefits can be found on the Gazeda website at:

For Immediate Release

Challenger Acquisitions Limited

("Challenger" or the "Company")

 

 New York Wheel Construction Update

 

Challenger Acquisitions Limited (LSE: CHAL), a leader in the Giant Observation Wheel industry, is pleased to provide an update on construction of the New York Wheel Project ("NYW Project"), a large entertainment complex currently being built on the New York Harbour, which will feature a 630ft Giant Observation Wheel ("GOW"), a 68,000 sq ft terminal and retail building, a 950 space parking garage and a 5,000-person capacity green roof for events. Challenger has made an investment of US$3 million representing a ~2% equity stake in the NYW Project. 

 

Approximately US$300 million has been spent on the NYW Project to date, with major developments so far including:

·     The foundation for the GOW pad is now complete (8,000 cubic yards of concrete and 1,800 tons of structural steel). The four leg pedestals (totaling 90 tonnes apiece) have been fabricated and are enroute for installation from Montreal.

·     The majority of the parking garage is now operational (825 of the 950 spaces). It is operating under a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy whilst the Mechanical Electrical Plumbing work is being completed to open the entire facility on a permanent basis in December.

·     A 465ft crane has arrived at the Brooklyn prep site to start the erection process for some of the main components for the GOW.  It will be assembled on site in November.

·     The foundation for the terminal building is now mostly complete with steel erection well underway for the structure.  It will be structurally complete in December.

·     The legs for the wheel have arrived in the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal. Each of the four legs weighs 550 tonnes, measuring 18 feet wide and 275 feet tall (please see the photographs on the following link: http://www.rns-pdf.londonstockexchange.com/rns/9939M_-2016-10-19.pdf)  They will be deployed to the site and erected onto the pedestals in December.

·     Manufacturing continues on the other major components such as the rim, cables, spindle, drive towers, capsules, electrical and control cabinets, etc.

 

Construction commenced in May 2015 with a total cost now estimated at US$590 million.  The grand opening is April 2018 with an estimated 3.5 million annual visitors expected. The 630ft observation wheel, which will be 50% larger than the London Eye once constructed, will provide passengers with a panoramic view of major landmark sites, including the New York Harbour, the Statue of Liberty, the Verrazano Bridge, Staten Island and the Lower Manhattan skyline.

 

For more information see www.newyorkwheel.com, which includes a live webcam of the construction site.

 

Mark Gustafson, the Company's Chief Executive Officer said: "The NYW Project continues to make fantastic progress in advancing towards its commercial opening.  As the only public company with an equity stake in this US$590 million project we have secured what we believe to be a unique and extremely prospective investment opportunity for our shareholders.   Following a recent tour of the New York Wheel site we can see that the changes on the ground are substantial and the vast scale of the project is becoming very apparent.  The four legs, on which the largest GOW in the world will sit, have now been delivered and the next delivery will be the pedestals for the legs.  Now that the above ground additions are underway, including the terminal building and the wheel itself, the next 18 months will be very exciting as we progress towards the grand opening targeted for April 2018."
