DireCons - unless the messenger’s Tee Dubbya of course.
To be fair PJ was only relaying what was said on the Tee Dubbya site. Don't shoot the messenger?
I'm calling absolute bull on that.
Laughable in fact and one of the reasons why I haven't used that board for years
Ah remember PJ1 from the guild, liked his input. Assume this is a guild post.
Sounds scaremongering to me
what follows is taken from poster, pj1 on advfn. apparently referencing a note from *************/tw. i don't subscribe to tw so i have no idea of the exact wording.
"************* now dropping out the possibility of insolvency unless opti steps in at 4 to 5p"
as i say, no idea if this is what was said, nor what the wording may have been. or indeed the context. scaremongering? thinking aloud?
Traced the original agreement with CII back to December 2017. That's a long time with not much to show for.
Oops should be PBX board
apologies

No not us per se but seed in at no 4 according to Success magazine
Most Innovative Company in Health & Wellness
4. Seed Health Inc.
Who they are: Seed is a direct-to-consumer, research-backed probiotic company whose products are available for a monthly subscription fee of $49.99.
How they innovate: The company believes “the science of probiotics demands a new standard.” Currently, the company offers just two consumer products; however, the science and testing that go into their products is anything but limited. Based on robust clinical research, it collects probiotic strains and puts them to the test in a high-tech simulator known as SHIME®, which mimics biological conditions from stomach to colon. Formula information and testing data are transparent and accessible, and its scientific board includes researchers from the National Institutes of Health’s Human Microbiome Project.
Financials: Seed is a privately held company; revenue and earnings are not publicly available. According to WWD, the company raised $40 million in Series A funding in 2021.
Impact: Seed’s combination of scientific rigor, social impact work and award-winning product design, plus a subscription model that eliminates the overhead of brick-and-mortar retail, make it a standout in an otherwise overcrowded and underregulated supplements industry.

Re the auditors. SOH has expressed frustration with Auditors, I seem to remember.
Good start to 2024 regarding breakfast smoothie though
14 - 5 star, 1 - 4 star and a 3 star
with the undernoted today
Delicious!
Overall: 5
Mixability: 5
Taste: 5
Effectiveness: 5
Really tasty and not grainy like other shakes I’ve had. Perfect to get protein in the morning and I just wish I bought a bigger bag!

In terms of the SP drop - though it was announced 11 days ago, news of Opti's auditor swap may have shaken confidence.
It's not 100% clear to me whether this was Opti's decision or the auditor's, though the phrase "its termination as auditor" suggests the former.
The RNS does state the old auditor "is not aware of any circumstances connected with its termination as auditor that it considers should be brought to the attention of the Board, creditors or shareholders of the Company."
Even so, there's always a reason (though it could be something as innocent as cost / culture clash / perceived incompetence of former auditor).
There was a trading update on 28th Feb 22, but nothing around that date last year.
So as martinu rightly said, they're ad hoc.
Trading update are always given end of February each year so I suppose 2023 is another year not pretty
Results are usually published in June for YE Dec. We have had trading updates in the past, but these are ad hoc, so difficult to predict when they might be posted.
SlimBiome products , etc have been the main stay, since PBX was hived off. And this is a very crowded market, so don't expect massive returns there.
The long anticipated and hoped for SweetBiotix commercialisation, is still that! And whilst we have some advantage in science backed claims, competition must be growing there. And because the development partners for Sweet are, we are told, big players. We go at their pace.
Even so the SP was holding its own, with the usual sideways and slightly downward shift. So today's bigger drop is a bit disappointing. So my guess is the fall is due to lack of news/patience. The latter being understandable.
I don’t think they are selling any volume in Holland and Barrett,that’s for sure.
Are results due
Sadly the volume is high. Much higher than the daily average
Big drop today on low volume. Some kind of game going on?

Yes see my apology on SBTX BB I mixed up Opti and SBTX and you were talking about selling Optis hares not SBTX.It was simply a mix up between the two shares nothing more sinister than that but of course I apologise for the mistake because accuracy is an obsession of mine.
'O fcourse the troll with a grudge nick plays the support role and wonders why he is 'hated.' Its not hate, its loathing and contempt because most of your effort is aimed at killing off avenues for investor communications with the company because you think you have the monopoly on the ability to read an rns. The sheer arrogance of you nick is putrid.'
1/ I don't wonder why I am hated and I did say universally hated, somebody said it . Not sure it's true not sure it's untrue. But I am not a troll (traitor). I am a shareholder (faithful). Cue Ms Winkleman
2/ I did nothing to cut off investor communication. I asked QUESTIONS of the nomad. The nomad did what he did. What else have I done towards 'killing off investor communications',?
3/ So I am 'hated' loathed held in contempt and now arrogant as well as putrid. wow. Monopoly on the ability to read an RNS? Where does that come from?
4/ I don't think I commented on aquas content. I did tick up actually and have thanked him in the past. FDA approval is difficult though.
5/ I do value the input of mol though, and like to support him. No way is he a troll (back to traitors) and I am appalled you think so. You need to control your anger.

This topic has nothing to do with the aqua research. Going to apologise? Title gives a clue.
Hi PG, yes accept that the labelling is the final outcome from the regulatory review. My interpretation of the progress reported in the RNS's is that the US Partner Mogroside based products have completed scale-up, undergone independent taste and structure analysis and hence the granulated version is ready for regulatory evaluation and classification for the Country a launch is aimed at. The fact that the initial launch is as a standalone product rather than as an ingredient incorporated in someone else's end product will simplify matters. Firmenich have yet to complete the optimised scale-up of their Stevenol based sweetbiotix products which I suspect will also need to undergo independent taste and structural tastes prior to any regulatory submissions.
Or they are as stupid as you mol. Thats my take on them voting up. They have not done the research aqua has, that's what those votes mean. Good spin though. Pathetic.
