Ashman's performance on Proactive was also dreadful, fidgeting when answering the questions. Josh, you clearly look at body language maybe you're right but to me he looked like a rabbit in headlights knowing he missed his targets on acquisition revenue by a country mile.

Whatever you say Josh, as you're always right no doubt.....

Looks like MD might have bought another 250k this afternoon, showing as the last trade but defo a buy.

The lemmings are giving him until March 2026 when the interims come out according to Elric's latest offering on Substack.

He finishes the interview with 'I couldn't be happier'. What about the SP down 9% Ashman? Never mind he doesn't have any worth shouting about. Be interesting to see whether the Lemming boys still support him.

So at the end of December the first 6 months of financial year 2026 would have completed. We should get the results for that half-year in March 2026 but he says current trading is good, a great start to the year but only £6.2m revenue for full year. What he says just doesn't add up. Can't believe a single word that he utters, absolutely dreadful.

Full of waffle, didn't come out until this afternoon when he finally got up. Been snoozing for too long based on his performance. He really has had his day...

Now we know why there has been zero communication from SA. Tom has summed it up nicely in his Bearcast, let's hope all the big boys have had enough of Ashman as well because he clearly is the weakest link.

Looks like most of Ashman's supporters (if he has any left) have run the hills as well. Now we know why Dustbin sold, a hood and a wink from his chum.

Ashman needs to go, crap performance of acquisitions. Placing for Superdrug was clearly for Working Capital. His performance is woeful and his position, as Toyin says, untenable. he doesn't even have to balls to admit his mistakes and resign. So we all need to do it for him and vote him out for good along with Hunt the useless chairman. This company is a disaster, let's hope Croda come and put us out of this misery.

I thought Ashman took a 20% pay cut, another lie as salary was virtually the same both years. He has zero credibility and should resign. He is useless and the market punishes CEO's who fabricate stories about performance. Time to get him out for good.

This is how the £6.2m is likely to break down.

Derma £2.0m

BTS £2.2m

Axis £0.5m (inc SD)

Croda £1.5m

Total £6.2m

If Zenakine takes off that is where the beating of his target could be, otherwise the rest is crap.

Agree Toyin, and investors wonder why I want Ashman replaced. Overpaid and overrated, make sure your vote counts.

Any credible CEO would have resigned on the performance of his acquisitions but Ashman never plays with a straight bat so we need to do it for him.

Won't be long before the vultures start circling with the SP sitting below 16p. Why would Croda continue to pay Royalties as Zenakine takes off when they could buy this lot for SFA? We need a communicative leader with the foresight to grow the IP and sell off the rubbish. Ashman is not that person and never will be.

I thought it said Ashman was going to do a Proactive Investors interview. They must be waiting for him to get up, hopefully hear from him later.

The market is forward thinking but Ashman has no idea how to play the market hence a lack of confidence in his outlook for 2026. Poor performing acquisitions, still hiding behind his NDA and the market response says it all really. SP heading south!!

I wonder how the big boys view it. Most of the first 26 trades this morning have been sells.

Toyin, I agree but SA doesn't see it that way as he is an empire builder. A new broom could slash costs and focus on the IP as you say. Hence why the voting is important, do we want empire builder or not....

Full year expectations for 2026 at £6.2m looks a bit weak, although Croda expectations could exceed it. Acquisitions performance is poor as expected. Market clearly thinks results are poor hence the SP falling. Voting soon.
