News: Meteor Technology - Broker issue for tiddler

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AS Aim-quoted Meteor Technology seeks to recruit its fourth nominated adviser in 12 months, it has emerged that one issue between the loss- making technology company and its professional advisers was a plan to expand into financial services.

Earlier this year, Meteor's chairman, Dan Wettreich, proposed that Meteor acquire Alexander Mark Securities, a firm he had created only months earlier from Aim shell Silkbarn and broking firm Robert Fraser.

Mr Wettreich and companies associated with him own around 60 per cent of Meteor, which must now find a new adviser within 30 days to avoid being thrown off Aim.

When Mr Wettreich took control of Meteor in 1996 its adviser was Gerrard Vivian Gray. Last October that role was taken over by English Trust as nominated adviser and Teather & Greenwood as nominated broker. They were dropped in the summer to be replaced by Butterfield Securities, which announced last month that it would resign on 1 December.

Two independent Meteor directors have resigned in recent weeks, including lawyer Stuart Holman who was only appointed in May.

Meteor operates a small payphone business and is attempting to market a new software product enabling low-cost long distance telephone calls to be made via PCs connected to the internet. Last month it announced losses of pounds 322,000 and, after write-downs of asset values, net assets of only pounds 92,000. However, this result rested on a favourable assessment of Meteor's investments. Under a harsher light, the loss would have been pounds 1.2m.

Meteor has been a disastrous investment for Mr Wettreich. Although much of his shareholding derives from transfers of businesses into Meteor from his US company, Camelot, outsiders estimate that he has invested at least pounds 1.5m of cash in Meteor. The shares stand at a fraction of his buying price.

Jonathan talk about regurgitated crap, ole chap!! Werewolves of London
What character did you play in Clockwork Orange?

I take it below is the transfer agent?
001 801 272 9294 - Interwest Transfer Co. Salt Lake City Utah.
will call tomorrow to see about that.

Your posts are always so informative and you certainly know alot about US Sec Rule 144, huh?

didn't seem to me like too many people over there are willing to hold onto their shares; looks like they want to see if they can sell them right now. Except for you and Josh of course, who also knows of a rumour of Lehmans, did anyone inform Andy Laslow?

Oh by the way, which one's pink.....
