Let’s hope so Toyin and thanks for your continued efforts.

It seems to be the mindset of the masses on both boards at the moment to criticise anything that comes from the company, so I doubt the big reveal will be well received. I think if it’s average/expected investors will pick it to pieces and admonish the BoD. Let’s just hope it’s thorough and gets us out of the woods so we can focus on growth!

A British Zenakine launch! Nice!

Shychap, all taking place under the leadership of Martin Hunt.

His name was seldom ever even mentioned for years whilst SA was, quite rightly, getting a swilling. MH obviously never had the skills to take any charge of those events and that has continued, with the lack of rational, sensible or progressive actions.

I hope the announcement clears him out so the new guard can draw the potential out of this company and our IP.

You can’t say he is wrong, you don’t know the information. Your guess is as good as his at this moment in time.

Bel I think at the start of this another poster brought our attention to another company which was suspended due to the accounts not being prepared in time because they were more complicated due to several acquisitions. They said it would take them at least 3 months. I don’t believe there was any accusation of wrongdoing. So considering what’s potentially gone on here, I think 2 months is reasonable. General consensus on the guild is fury at management. They do present disappointing optics. But if they would have also indicated a 3 month delay, then done it in 2 months, we’d all be talking up the new board appointments. Most important, I think, is to see if/how the situations are resolved and how the company is going to move forward. That should be the catalyst for our investments moving forward, good or bad.

We’ll see. The auditors have obviously fallen on their sword so to me it indicates it could have been something that they missed. Fraud implies purposeful wrongdoing, which I don’t think would have cost them their contract if they were knowingly deceived/provided with misleading information. Looks like we will know by the end of next week.

Just because the company is bigger than us it doesn’t mean her payslip is any bigger. So is it really a BIGGER job just because it’s for a bigger company? Maybe SBTX contracts her for more hours at her standard rate, so maybe we are the BIG job.

Secondly, a bigger company probably means less impact. A smaller company like us means a bigger impact. A bigger impact is better for her reputation.

All conjecture. I’m sure she’ll be quoted in the next RNS and from there maybe we will have a basis to judge if she’s been listening in meetings?

We’ve got someone who has joined the team, who makes no bones about the fact she is a career non exec, which obviously involves multiple positions, who is deemed at the standard of gaining a board position by a 750m company, and you turn it into a bad thing. I’m sorry Net but don’t you completely exhaust yourself with your unsubstantiated theories?

I think the disparity between your stance and the boards stance Net is that any concern they may have for shareholders is probably reserved for the very largest ones, who do not seem concerned at all, let alone anxious. Mark Dixon has found himself more shares to purchase during suspension and Elric has written about speaking to one of the other majors who are comfortable with the situation and still like the investment proposition.

Let’s hope the time is being used wisely to compile a complete and thorough communication to shareholders which addresses all of the questions before they have to be asked and lets us know where we stand and gives us the ability to value our investments, and a fresh start for continued growth of the company and its revenue.

Yes

Farris, I think that’s a good point. Martin Hunt has ultimately presided over this whole mess which has screwed all manner of shareholders, the people he is in post to protect. A fundraise RNS would be an unsurprising and fairly standard AIM-style kick in the the teeth, and a takeover RNS would be a way he would slide away with his dignity in tact, which I’m sure is infinitely more important to him than shareholders. A third accompanying RNS could be a board shakeup to allow the correct heads to roll. All these things would certainly contribute to the two week and counting delay from the FRP report supposedly being received by the BOD.

Rosacea affects 1 in 20 adults. Without treatment it can be disfiguring.

This condition causes facial redness and pustules but it’s not acne — and treatment may prevent permanent skin damage.

0.0985p on Freetrade and on Halifax this morning net.

Yes Gardie it’s certainly nice to have the constant OPTI drag mostly cleared. Hopefully that’s one less person to support the share price into strength!!

I think I agree with mol on that one Shy, I’m a director of 4 companies and when you click my name it shows two of the companies, the other two name links seem standalone. No idea how or why!

Exactly Shychap. It’s almost an insult to shareholders should he attempt to glean any further tenure.

Third to agree, Hunt needs to go and take Vigo with him. Appreciate the orderly handover after SA left and pleased he has found a new CEO and strengthened the corporate governance by finding an expert in the field to join as a non exec director, but he is the weak link now and the only remaining concern on the management team. Bertram should be capable of bean counting royalties. Thanks Martin but please find a competent chairman and go hang up your hat.

Hi Bel, I was also aware you previously thought that the royalty was of the shelf label price but I have also pointed out before that this was never the case; its based on the value of the product Croda sells and it always has been.

Spends +£5m on something and then loses interest? It’s a FTSE100 company rebarm, not a teenager!

Explanation of PLE clearly in Aquae’s post. Net it certainly looks like you are here to cause trouble rather than have a genuine discussion.
