Re: Flooding Hi TB,I understand your point of view on this. But I have a counter-view:I have been involved in a number of businesses that have experienced similar situations. The primary risk is establishing that the insurance is actually going to cover the risk. Once that is agreed, there is normally some clear financial exposure from the excess. Insurance policies I have worked with in this kind of event might have an excess of £1m for example. But apart from that, the exposure is typically fully covered. Of course insurer and insured will argue about the counterfactual - but I have often seen the company claim in full and face no loss. Unless the manufacturing capability is unique (Is it in this case?) then competitors will step in and co-pack for a period of time so sales will hold steady and the on-costs of co-pack will be covered by insurance. And if the manufacturing facility needs to be re-built, then it can lead to an end point where you have better manufacturing facilities than you started with, courtesy of an insurance payout. Then the biggest risk is that management are focused on repairing the supply chain instead of winning new business.So once we have some comfort that insurance is covering the situation, we need to understand how supply will be maintained, but risks become manageable from that point.

Nuclear opportunities for HAYT There are truly staggering opportunities and figures involved in nuclear decommissioning: - Western Europe has 150 plants to decommission by 2030 - the UK sites alone will cost £70 billion plus to decommission - the NDA's current year expenditure is £2.91 billionA big article in this week's Shares Magazine points to HAYT's opportunities in the nuclear sector, particularly as HAYT are involved in both the new build and decommissioning aspects of new and old facilities:Extract:"NUCLEAR IS CENTRAL to the UK’s energy policy over the years ahead because of its ability to provide solid base load power into the grid and help the country meet carbon emission targets.Britain’s conservative-led Government pulled out all the stops during the visit of Chinese communist party chief Xi Jinping to get spades in the ground on a proposed nuclear plant at Hinkley. Enlisting Chinese financial firepower to get the estimated £18 billion project off the ground, as well as the offer of generous financial incentives, highlights the desperate state of the UK’s energy situation. All but one of the UK’s 16 nuclear facilities across nine sites are due to shut down by 2023. Together, those plants generated around one-fifth of the energy consumed in the UK in 2014. Years of under-investment and delays on energy infrastructure projects mean progress on the Hinkley Point C facility is now a national imperative. Another two projects of roughly the same size as Hinkley would be needed merely to replace the nuclear capacity expected to go offline in the next decade. Planned investment in nuclear plants at Hinkley and elsewhere should provide investment opportunities in the years ahead."

Diagnostics joint venture with Gamida group and cyber security contract extension Announcement this morning with mixed messages investment of $1m in a joint venture on the pharma business and a further extendsion on the cyber stuff.I was always worry about joint ventures i.e. who is in control how much more will be needed. JV's usually cost more than first thought and its a another classic Marom "jam tomorrow" deal.Why can't he start improving profitability and return money to the patient shareholders. The JV sounds like one of his personal altruistic endeavours. Shouldn't shareholders have had a chance to vote on it before he went ahead
