On 30 June 2010 the company received a loan stock repayment of £45,697 from
DiGiCo Europe Limited plus a premium of £3,403.
After the quarter-end in July, the Company invested a further £1,717 into
Monsal Holdings as part of a refinancing that introduced FourWinds Capital as a

million) to Monsal at a valuation significantly greater than our original cost

stock as part of the investment round. This repayment, together with the small

This additional funding will be used to expand Monsal's core anaerobic
digestion solutions business in the UK wastewater industry and provide
infrastructure funding for bio-gas energy from waste projects.
