Relaunch of Flow boiler and new boiler home energy tariff

 

Flowgroup plc (AIM: FLOW), which provides a range of innovative energy technologies, energy supply and energy services, announces the relaunch of its game-changing, electricity-generating Flow boiler to the UK market alongside the launch of a new boiler home energy tariff, expected to be one of the most competitive tariffs for gas and electricity on the market.

 

The Company's sales and marketing campaigns, and its new tariff, will launch on 4th January 2016 with first customers installations commencing in March 2016, progressively ramping up installs through the following six months, before moving to higher volume sales in winter 2016. Details of the launch packages will be published on the Company's website from 4th January 2016.

 

Commenting on the launch, Tony Stiff, CEO of Flowgroup, said:

"The Flow boiler has great potential as a game-changing technology addressing three major energy issues: it increases security of supply, it reduces the cost of energy in the home, and on an environmental level it reduces CO2 emissions. Whilst we know that our product is scalable we need to take a considered and measured approach to our first year from launch to ensure that the end-to-end process is tested, refined, and perfected before higher production volumes. The improvements and cost reductions recently implemented and in our future plans are vital to maintain the 'boiler that pays for itself' model which offers customers a next-generation boiler with no upfront cost. We think that our boiler proposition, whereby customers only pay for the cost of installation, will be very popular."

 

David Kipling, Jabil Vice President Corporate Investment said:

"In the past six months Jabil and Flow have worked well as a team in preparation for the Flow Boiler relaunch. Significant progress has been made in supply chain, resilience, logistics, design and cost.  Jabil looks forward to supporting Flow in meeting its volume needs in 2016 and beyond."

 

VAT Update

Following the European Court of Justice ruling on 4th June that the UK's reduced 5% rate of VAT on energy-saving products is in breach of EU laws, the Company announced a delay to the full launch of the Flow boiler. The Company notes that HMRC has begun a consultation (9th December 2015 to 3rd February 2016) to consider revised legislation to retain as much of the existing relief as possible. The current rate remains at 5% until implemented, with the earliest implementation date of 1st August 2016.  The Company will be responding to this consultation.

 

Since June, the Company has worked closely with its production partner Jabil to put in place a range of production enhancements and improvements to its technology platform that the Company believes creates a clear path to a product with a reduced unit cost at volume production, creating the potential to counter any possible rise in VAT.  The Company is therefore satisfied that it has made sufficient progress to move to relaunch.

 

Launch details

The Company's sales and marketing campaigns will launch on 4th January 2016, both online and offline.  These include promotion via its Brand Ambassador network, with both in-store and in-home promotional material.  Existing orders already booked will be satisfied first, with new customers being able to order a Flow boiler from 4th January 2016.  The first installs will commence in March 2016 and will progressively build through the following six months, ensuring the effectiveness of systems and processes, whilst proactively gathering customer feedback to continuously improve our sales process, in advance of higher volume sales moving into winter 2016.

 

The boiler that pays for itself

In rescheduling the launch the Company believes it has achieved its aim of protecting the viability of its key launch offer, 'the boiler that pays for itself.' This offer allows customers to install a Flow boiler and effectively only pay for installation, receiving a fixed reduction in their home energy bill over five years that exceeds the cost of the Flow boiler if bought outright or if financed via the Company's finance partner, Zopa. The deal requires customers to switch home energy supply to Flow, and the Company is also announcing today that its home energy tariff for the launch of the Flow boiler packages will be one of the most competitive tariffs on the market, adding even more value to the overall package and further encouraging adoption of its technology. The Company continues to believe that this compelling launch offer will play a significant role in the success of the Flow boiler.

 

Sales in the home

Another key element of the Company's strategy is its Brand Ambassador programme, the creation of a nationwide network of high quality Gas Safe registered installers who will sell the Flow boiler, smart home technology and energy packages in the home. Virtually all boiler sales are made by installers who are invited into customer homes to provide help, advice and recommendations on heating products. The Company believes this approach can deliver sales efficiently and effectively. The Company's sales team has recruited an impressive range of motivated Brand Ambassadors across the UK, who will clearly explain, face-to-face, the benefits of the Flow boiler and packages, directly to customers.  In order to retain control of the customer experience while using third parties, all Brand Ambassadors will be provided with a proprietary software-based in-home sales solution that will provide an end-to-end process for surveying, quoting and sales. In another innovation, Flow will provide its boiler directly to its Brand Ambassadors, bypassing the traditional merchant channel, retaining more value to increase profitability and to enhance incentives for Brand Ambassadors. 

 

Certifications

The Flow production boiler has now been granted CE marking. Testing for MCS certification, an eligibility requirement for the Government's Feed-in Tariff, is underway with a production unit of the Flow boiler. The Company expects this to be completed in March 2016, meaning that the first customer installs of the Flow boiler should attract the dedicated mCHP Feed-in Tariff.

 

Our vision

Decentralised generation has significant benefits for consumers through lower costs and for the country as a whole through lower emissions.  Therefore, a domestic gas boiler, like the Flow boiler, that generates low cost, low carbon electricity has the potential to gain significant market share.  A recent study by CODE (Cogeneration Observatory and Dissemination Europe) stated that mCHP boilers could replace over a third of the current installed base in Europe of 115 million boilers. We believe Flow is leading the market in mCHP towards this goal with a product that is at a significantly lower price point than any other solution and importantly is market-ready.  The Company believes that it has the potential to make significant inroads into both the UK and European market and that the Flow boiler and future variants will be a strong driver for growth.

 

Tony Stiff, CEO of Flowgroup, commented further:  "We now come to market with what we consider to be an even stronger product with a reducing cost profile. As is sensible with any new product, we will take a prudent approach in the first six months commencing March 2016, increasing sales and installs as we go into winter – and then looking to expand into the European market as soon as we have created a firm base in the UK.  We believe that successfully installing Flow boilers, providing proof of the effectiveness of our technology, will attract a large amount of interest to our business, from customers, Government, the industry and investors and that 2016 will prove to be the year in which the true value of our business will be realised."

Avanti Communications Group plc announces a new contract with BT, to be part of BT's supply of wholesale consumer broadband services which will be sold onwards to consumers in the UK through a network of satellite resellers under the auspices of the British Government's Universal Service Commitment.

 

Under this plan directed by Broadband Delivery UK ("BDUK"), up to 300,000 homes which cannot access greater than 2Mbps from terrestrial networks will be eligible to receive a contribution from government to fund the installation of satellite broadband services, with the consumer then paying monthly service charges.  The scheme is expected to go live during December.

 

David Williams, Chief Executive of Avanti said: "We welcome this significant intervention by government to ensure that the Universal Service Commitment is met and we are pleased to serve the best interests of the UK consumer."

 

Ed Vaizey MP, Digital Economy Minister said: "Our rollout of superfast broadband has already reached an additional 3.5 million homes and businesses who would otherwise have missed out. We are making tremendous progress, but it's a massive engineering project and won't happen overnight.

Crimson Tide plc

("Crimson Tide" or "the Company")

Update on Significant Contract Win

 

The Company is pleased to provide an update to its announcement of 17 September 2015, in which Crimson Tide announced that it had entered into a landmark contract for its mpro5 solution with one of the country's leading retailers.  The contracted revenue amount was expected to be approximately £1.1m over the 36 month term. 

The Company had initially anticipated that the rollout would commence by the end of this year and that invoicing would build during the first half of 2016 in line with the roll-out.

Crimson Tide can now report that the rollout has already started, has progressed at a faster pace than originally anticipated and is now expected to be completed within a much shorter timescale. The Company is confident that the rollout will be complete by the year end. Revenues under the contract will therefore accrue earlier than expected and the Company now expects a full year of subscription revenue in 2016, rather than for a part of the year.

Barrie Whipp, Executive Chairman, commented "Our client has seen the benefits of mpro5 quickly and instructed us to roll out faster than we originally contemplated. It is testament to the commitment of our team that we have been able to meet this requirement. I am pleased that our growing book of contracted revenues has been enhanced and our planning for 2016 is based upon ever more solid foundations."

TLA to bring American College Football to Australia

Sydney to host opening match of 2016 American College Football Championships

TLA Worldwide plc (AIM: TLA), a leading athlete representation and sports marketing business, is pleased to announce that it will bring the 2016 College American Football season opener to Sydney, Australia, the first time in over thirty years that college football will be played in Australia as a regular-season game.

TLA has partnered with TEG Pty Ltd (TEG), Australasia's leading ticketing, live entertainment and data analytics company, to organise, promote and deliver the opening fixture of the NCAA College Football Championships. The historic game will be known as the Sydney College Football Cup and will see the University of California, Berkeley (Cal Bears) play the University of Hawaii (Rainbow Warriors), at ANZ Stadium in Sydney, Australia on Saturday, August 27 2016.    

The ANZ Stadium, which can seat up to 83,500 fans, has previously hosted a number of major international and domestic sporting events including the 2000 Summer Olympics, the 2003 Rugby World Cup finals, international cricket and soccer matches, and the annual National Rugby League Grand Final.

Confirmation of the exciting fixture comes at a time when interest in American football in Australia is at an all-time high, with notable performances by Australians Jarryd Hayne (San Francisco 49ers), Brad Wing (New York Giants) and Jordan Berry (Pittsburgh Steelers).

The Sydney College Football Cup marks TLA's second collaboration with TEG, formerly Nine Live, to bring world-class sports events to the region. It follows the successful delivery of the inaugural International Champions Cup (ICC) in July 2015 where 225,000 spectators attended three soccer games at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) between Manchester City, Real Madrid and AS Roma.

Michael Principe, TLA Worldwide CEO, said: "We are delighted to bring the Sydney College Football Cup to Australia, further establishing TLA's position in the fourth largest sports market in the world.  Australian fans are hungry for American football to hit their shores and it is a great coup that two quality American College Football teams, the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Hawaii, are going to break new ground and will open their 2016 seasons in Sydney. Given the growing interest and involvement of Australian athletes in American football, we see this as an ideal opportunity to play the game in front of a packed crowd at ANZ Stadium."

NANOCO GROUP PLC

("Nanoco" or the "Company")

 

Lighting Division Update

 

Nanoco Group plc (LSE: NANO), a world leader in the development and manufacture of cadmium-free quantum dots and other nanomaterials, announces the following update on its Lighting Division following the successful launch of the world's first CFQD® Quantum Dot lighting products at the LuxLive industry trade show in London.

 

Nanoco and its partner Marl International, a UK-based pioneer in LED lighting, launched four product groups at LuxLive including light-emitting ceiling tiles, strip lights, down lighters, and grow lights. All of the product groups use Nanoco CFQD® Quantum Dot film, with the thickness of the film and the size of the quantum dots fine-tuned for specific end uses where colour quality is the primary requirement.

 

In the run up to last week's LuxLive trade show, Nanoco was highlighted in the Lux Global Hotlist 2015 of the ten most exciting lighting firms worldwide. The Global Hotlist panel's citation described Nanoco as a producer of "cadmium-free quantum dots which promise near perfect colour rendering from LEDs". In addition, the Orion strip light developed with Marl was listed among the "10 product innovations to look out for" at the LuxLive show.

 

These accolades contributed to a high level of interest in Nanoco and Marl's stand at the show, along with a number of potential new business opportunities.

 

The lighting products for ambient and specialty lighting displayed at the show included light-emitting ceiling tiles that create diffuse, artificial daylight with a colour temperature of 6500k and low power consumption. These tiles have outstanding colour performance and are ideally suited to high end retail, healthcare and commercial applications.

 

The CFQD® Quantum Dot strip lights shown at LuxLive are particularly suited to architectural lighting applications and the down lights offer high end retailers the opportunity to showcase their merchandise under perfect lighting conditions.

 

Two versions of Nanoco and Marl's grow lights for horticultural applications were also showcased at LuxLive. These grow lights benefit from cadmium-free quantum dots tuned to the wavelengths of light needed for plant growth, hence saving energy and creating optimum lighting conditions. Nanoco is continuing to develop this grow light technology, for example by creating quantum dot films for specific types of plants.

 

Michael Edelman, Nanoco's CEO, commented: "We were delighted by the level of interest at LuxLive in the use of our cadmium-free quantum dot technology in lighting applications. We were also excited by the interest in the range of products that we have created alongside our partner Marl International.

 

"LEDs were by far the dominant lighting type at LuxLive, reflecting the compelling attractions of LEDs in the future of lighting. Our technology has the ability to add outstanding colour performance to the other benefits of LEDs, particularly energy efficiency."

Launch of new IoT solutions

365 Agile is pleased to announce the launch of three new Internet of Things ("IoT") based solutions designed specifically for the Social Housing and Care & Support sectors.

The first solution, 365 Agile's 'Smart Heating Control' enables households to have access to cutting edge technology to control the heating in their homes and to gain greater visibility and control on their use of energy from a smart phone or tablet. The smart heating control unit is designed to be easily retro-fitted in just a few minutes by replacing existing standard controllers. The smart unit also provides predictive maintenance alerts to report when a boiler is not working properly and requires maintenance allowing customers to choose a convenient time for preventative maintenance rather than having to wait until the heating system fails. The advanced option also includes full zonal control using thermostatic radiator valves which are easily fitted to existing radiators. The technology should allow users to achieve savings on energy expenditure and will enable Social Housing organisations to significantly reduce operation maintenance costs whilst improving customer service.

The second solution, the Assisted Living suite, is designed to provide advanced levels of care and support to vulnerable customers through the use of 365 Agile's range of smart sensors. The solution will allow non-invasive monitoring of customer behaviour and will provide alerts and tasks in the event that someone needs assistance. The sensors stream real-time data back to the 365 Agile platform and information can be shared with family members as well as care providers. 365 Agile has also been collaborating with Tunstall Healthcare, a leading provider of healthcare solutions, to provide cutting edge solutions to customers that enhance service and provide improved levels of care and support.

The third solution is focused on security with 365 Agile's smart sensors being installed to deliver a low-cost home security pack which will monitor movement, temperature and doors and windows and provide alerts to the customer.

365 Agile already has over 50,000 downloads across the UK and Europe and these new solutions provide a revolutionary new way of delivering services to the Social Housing and Care & Support sectors. 365 Agile has been working closely with Microsoft and has architected the solutions based on the Microsoft Azure stack. The solutions mark the first of a range of 'shrink-wrapped' solutions from 365 Agile that will reduce cost, improve customer service and streamline processes. The new solutions will be available to the Social Housing sector through technology business partner Castleton Technology.

365 Agile is launching the solutions at Microsoft's Future Decoded 2015 at ExCeL London on 10th &11th November.

Jonathan Holyhead, CEO of 365Agile commented:

 

"365Agile's platform creates a powerful combination that will dramatically transform service delivery. The initial set of smart solutions are being rolled out to the Social Housing and Care & Support sectors and will enable organisations to reduce cost, improve customer service and streamline processes. We have worked closely with Microsoft in the UK and have leveraged the power and scale of Azure with their team to create truly unique solutions that will deliver real benefits and positive change to both organisations and tenants."
