einem Unternehmen, das im Gegensatz zu My Hammer schon seit Jahren Auktionen durchfürht. Sie krebsen momentan immer noch bei ca. 50 Millionen Dollar an der Londoner Börse herum - und das bei immerhin Provisionserlösen von 30 bis 40 Millionen Dollar pro Jahr. Selbst einige gute Meldungen haben in letzter Zeit den Kurs nur um 5 bis 10% nach oben gebracht. Für sehr spekulative Anleger könnte auch der Erwerb von GoIndustry an der AIM eine Möglichkeit sein. Wenn man z.B. bedenkt, dass in Deutschland Chaoswerte wie Neosino und Abacho, die Bruchteile der Umsätze von GoIndustry haben, höher oder gleich bewertet werden.

GoIndustry plc, the AIM listed industrial machinery and equipment auctioneer, is pleased to announce that it has secured a number of significant new contracts in the period following its reverse takeover of Grasshopper Investments and debut on AIM on 5 January 2006. The contracts comprise deals with blue chip companies such as Eastman Kodak and Siemens in countries including Finland, USA and the Philippines, and will generate strong revenues for the Group. They also emphasise the Company’s strengths - equipment knowledge, global reach and online auctioning expertise and highlight the progress that has been made. The contracts include:
· A local Finnish insolvency practitioner has retained GoIndustry to sell the equipment contained within the plant of Finnish TV manufacturer, Finlux Oy, following the failure of its business. The Company has executed five separate online auctions, selling 1,846 equipment lots yielding in excess of £700,000 in Gross Asset Sales with a margin of 25% on the deal. Importantly, successful buyers were identified in 31 different countries.
· Eastman Kodak Company of Rochester, New York, has contracted GoIndustry to dispose of its surplus assets. The Company conducted its first large sales event earlier this week, attracting 81 bidders from five different countries. At close the sale achieved Gross Asset Sales of US$341,000, contrary to the view that the equipment would not sell because it was custom built for Eastman Kodak, GoIndustry managed to sell almost 90% of the 272 lots.
· Litton Mills Inc. in the Philippines has retained GoIndustry to sell three cotton blended yarn-spinning mills, following a restructuring of its textile production facilities. The Directors are confident of generating substantial revenues as several Asian buyers have already expressed interest, inspected the equipment on site and placed deposits to enable them to participate in the forthcoming online auction.
· GoIndustry has acquired a package of Test & Measurement equipment, from Siemens including equipment manufactured by Agilent, Rohde & Schwarz and Zeiss amongst others. The equipment will be sold via a series of online auctions in March 2006, and the Directors are confident that the Company’s strong capabilities in this sector will create significant buyer demand from all over the world.
· GoIndustry has been appointed to complete the sale of all medical equipment, fixtures and fittings following the closure of the Women’s Medical Centre Hospital in Philadelphia, USA. This equipment will be sold at an onsite auction in April 2006 and will feature a range of MRI scanners, Cath labs, ultrasounds, surgical microscopes, as well as a broad range of surgical instruments. The Company is confident of a successful sale due to the high level of buyer interest already being shown.
· In the UK, Abbott Diabetes Care Ltd has appointed GoIndustry to sell surplus equipment following its relocation to a new purpose built facility. The webcast auction sale is to be held in March and will consist of over 1,000 lots of high quality pharmaceutical, packaging and printing, office furniture, material handling and maintenance equipment.
Additionally, in the UK the Company is receiving strong demand for its valuation services. Since January it has undertaken numerous lending appraisal assignments of machinery and equipment (46%) and inventory (54%) for clients including Barclays Bank, Bibby, Bank of Ireland, The Royal Bank of Scotland, GE Business Finance and Landsbanki.
GoIndustry CEO, John Allbrook, said: “The Company has had a strong start to the year having won a number of valuable new contracts across a spectrum of industries and worldwide locations. This confirms our position as a leading industrial machinery and equipment auctioneer and justifies our recent move to AIM. With new business rolling in across all divisions of the business on a global basis, we look forward to generating significant shareholder value.”
