They have no shame; I dont think they are meaningfully dishonest but I believe they are just unskilled in running a public company and basically incompetent. They obviously dont understand that they are accountable to us as owners because nobody has ever held them to account. They act like its their own company; they take huge salaries and make believe everything is OK when it is not. What still niggles me is why Henderson can build up such a big stake when the company is operated by people who are so unreliable. By gadfly_1

Well until this order is filled were not going anywhere.
Over 5 million buys today,how you can keep buying shares at full ask on L2 and the price dosent go up.
They even lowered it on a couple of sells at the end of the day, and then put through close to a million at the bell.
The company is having a laugh at the moment.
It really is a disgrace and the BOD if they ever read PI boards should be ashamed.

7:14 24/05/2012 Re: Silly post from eltelex.
have to say eltelex prognosis might not be far off the mark. Aim is littered with useless master debaters like J eng, no vision and the only thing that drives them is keeping the wages going to them and there cohorts. They flog it until the last, using sedas to pay wages and hide the truth through silly news releases purporting all is well right to the point of disolving the company.

we lose money to pay these charlattans and eng is a prime example.

he must be driven out, he has failed repeatedly for near a decade he has raised and spent well over 100,000,000 yet the company is valued at 27,000,000 and falling.

Think the sun has gone to your head, Very silly post. You must have a day release pass.
But of course Henderson and Enquest own 30% ,plus all the other large share holders.
Do us a favour please engage what little grey matter you have in your head before posting.
Yes were not happy about the BOD but reading your dribble is even worse. NFO By YG1234
10:57 23/05/2012 new depths of this useless BoD
AST used to be a reliable company regarding opportunities but I can see nothing positive going forwards. The BoD have got rich on the backs of investors - shameful practice for thos sitting on massive losses and broken promises.

Can see the BoD selling up and closing the company since there is no "going concern". Then start another AIM company full of wonderful promises to entice the next bunch of gullable investors looking to get rich. By eltelex

there is something about the last well being hidden. If all was as claimed our door would be getting beaten down to be a part of it.

silence for months !!

we are working hard they say - working hard trying to sell something no one wants.

come on you swines tell us the truth or at least present us with a clear plan on how to move forward,

eng should be beaten with a big stick then tarred and feathered for being such a useless cooooont By Bounderby

Reading some of these notes here is like taking a quick trip to the Land of Sugar Plums. "Some Oil &Gas major"???? The fact that there is a large quantity of gas there has never been the issue. It has been common knowledge for many years. If it was considered a viable asset (product easily extracted) a major would own it now and a mini wouldn't be in this project. And, at the very least, we would see an established entity ..... With plenty of funds.... Banging down the door to get a piece of this play. Shareholders with a cost-basis in excess of 5p do not want to see a sale of the Company right now. A decent production number and one or two more pg-10 type wells and we will have a property and a SP to talk about.

Emerald can you cut and paste your calculations of where you have plucked 8p out of thin air? Why would anybody pay well over twice what the company is worth when Henderson have shown you can pretty much sweep up as much of the company you want for 3p.

Not a cat in hells chance a takeover would be anywhere NEAR 8p. Wake up. By Sugarcane1
15:37 22/05/2012 What chance a takeover here? With
a competent persons report indicating over 500 BILLION cubic feet of gas in the ground. With two wells drilled which can produce more than 10 million cubic feet of gas per day. A Company that has a 75% share of this field. All this and the market cap is 30 million £. No wonder Henderson have been buying tens of millions of these shares. Some oil/gas major is likely to buy the lot for peanuts with the current market cap. It's beyond ridiculous.
A bid of 8p a share would probably seal the deal unfortunately.

All IMHO. By Emerald Carrots
