This hasn't materialised *so far* (released Feb 2025, so a year ago):

Xeros Technology signs LOI with 'major electronics distributor'

(Sharecast News) - Xeros Technology said on Wednesday that it has signed a Letter of Intent with a major electronics distributor for an initial order of the XF3 external microfibre plug-and-go filter.

Xeros said the agreement will see its XF3 filter placed into several major retail outlets, initially in the UK under "a well-known electronics brand", towards the latter part of 2025.

Additionally, further discussions for orders of XF3 with some of the "world's largest electronics brands and distributors" were said to be progressing well, with other partnership announcements anticipated in early Q3.

While the AIM-listed group warned FY24 revenue would come in below expectations, adjusted underlying earnings and net cash were seen in line following "better than expected" cost savings of £200,000.

"With our ongoing focus on operating cost discipline the board continues to anticipate that this will be sufficient to take the group to month-on-month cash flow break-even during the course of this year. Cognisant of potential timing issues when working with large global organisations, the board is taking a prudent view of its revenue expectations for FY25," said Xeros.

"Allowing for some delays and slippages within the existing pipeline, the board expects to achieve revenue of approximately £2.5m in the current year, though this does not include the significant upside potential of additional revenue opportunities from the numerous discussions we currently have underway."

Certainly Watching 2 raises the tone but is that why people read bulletin boards Ginge? Would you rather read a poster's record have have them be proved right again and again? Or, like W2's record..

Shall I raise the tone? "£200 ex-chinah, nailed on!"

"Later today! "

(Note to self; see, it's not difficult.)

Good morning Wyn,

I hope all's well with you :-)

The money in the bank here at Xeros (that he mentions in the presentation) lasting 2 more years without any income seems to underpin things considerably. And if they get a another decent deal with another manufacturer it should fly. At the same time, what's holding back the deals now?

I have a decent amout in WG more or less guaranteed to make 15% and so far I've resisted selling it and not regretted. It shouldn't be long now..

My 'speculative' portfolio crashed and burned a while ago but I believe in Pheonixs (or whatever the plural is!). I have to keep enough in each share that if it 10 bags I can come out even again, overall. AVCT is looking promising again but that won't do it on its own. Shame I sold out of Hemo as that has delivered. Just need another two Hemos and I'll be ok!

I have a little in HE1 but it's been an unlucky share for me so I don't really follow it like I used to do. It's too speculative even for me now. At least with Xeros they seem to be on course to stay in business.

Touk,

Watching does their best...

And not just on AVCT.

Actually 1p is very unlikely

Bottom has now been hit imo. Good averaging opportunity!

Next rns will lift us'

And in case you were wondering how this 'prediction'went, today's SP:

Still, plenty of folk 'Rec'watching's posts so hats-off to Jane (unless you're still holding on to it Jane?) .

The only reason a rival bidder will arrive for WG would be because I've sold out, and I haven't yet.

BTW:

'AI Overview

Yes, humans have definitely landed on the moon. NASA successfully landed 12 American astronauts on the lunar surface during six Apollo missions between 1969 and 1972, starting with

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on Apollo 11 and ending with Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt on Apollo 17.

Evidence confirming these landings includes:

Physical Evidence: The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has taken high-resolution images of the landing sites, showing the lunar module descent stages, rover tracks, and equipment left behind.

Sample Returns: Astronauts brought back 382 kilograms (842 pounds) of moon rocks, core samples, and soil, which have been verified by scientists worldwide as non-terrestrial.

Third-Party Tracking: Independent observatories in the UK, Italy, and amateur radio operators tracked the transmissions and spacecraft in real-time.

Despite some enduring conspiracy theories, the Apollo moon landings are accepted as historical fact by the scientific community, with overwhelming evidence supporting them. '

Do you believe the CEO Wyn or could it be anopther 'champagne on ice' moment? On the face of it this is a no-brainer now.

Vertizea, son, B2H just beat me to it. Whenever I have been influenced by MM in hindsight I should have done the opposite. Yet this does seem a very exciting time.

'If .... and b) the company can stay independent for a couple more years at least' could be the explanation of the contradiction in my response. I think I will keep some powder dry for the next year or so. Currently the 'powder' is in WG, waiting to be worth 30p. Would be comvenient if the various timings work out for me.

It's like Lidl V's Sainsbury's, but if Lidl stock everything you want then go for it.

I found the message from HL regarding their charges, soon to be changed:

AI Overview

Trading 212 (T212) and Hargreaves Lansdown (HL) offer starkly different approaches to trading Tiziana Life Sciences Ltd (NASDAQ: TLSA), with T212 focusing on low-cost, app-based trading, while HL provides a more traditional, comprehensive service with higher fees

. T212 is generally better for frequent, small-value, or beginner trading due to zero-commission fees, while HL is often preferred for larger, long-term holdings and pensions.

Comparison: Tiziana Life Sciences (TLSA) Trading

Trading 212 (T212):

Cost: Zero-commission trading on stocks and ETFs, though a 0.15% FX fee applies to non-GBP transactions.

Features: Offers fractional shares, allowing for small investments in TLSA.

CFD Trading: Offers long/short CFD trading on TLSA with leverage.

Downsides: Limited research tools and no tax advice; users have reported wide spreads during volatile times for small-cap stocks.

Hargreaves Lansdown (HL):

Cost: High dealing charges (e.g., £11.95 per deal), which can be costly for small trades.

Features: Provides extensive research, analysis, and higher-quality, live, or more transparent pricing.

Suitability: Better suited for holding larger, long-term positions or in a SIPP (pension).

I also have shares in $TLSA (formerly Tiziana PLC) which moved to the Nasdaq. People on the board for $TLSA.US have often complained about other brokers (I THINK Halifax amongst others) not allowing trades and I think people with 212 had there accustem shares sold against their will when they were spun-off to OTC. If AVCT do go on to the Nas I shall be happy to be with HL but each to their own.

I opened a 212 account a few years ago but don't use it. With HL your purchase happens immediately but with 212 it can take a while and goes thru in dribs and drabs (while the price is changing).

Aren't HL lowering their dealing charges in April? I got a message and believe they are dropping to around £6 for everyone (maybe more for some?)

Maybe 212 are ok for bigger shares.

'but the maximum cumulative lifetime dose removal news could be sold as a British biopharma success story'

Very true. But over the years we have asked many times why media haven't been writing all about avacta, ever since the AVCT LFTs were mentioned in parliament, and why were the govt buying Chinese instead (it's a while ago; I believe that's right). In hindsight – though it would have done no harm – it would have been too early. Only now are AVCT are getting really close (fingers crossed) for the news to really be very positive and truly media worthy.

Also Bella, chemo being used to shrink a tumour before surgery and then the chemo might / would cease. With no lifetime limit why bother with the surgery? (assuming we are not getting ahead of ourselves).

'It's a pity Avacta couldn't have piggy-backed this with a little mention in the news services and dailies about the removal of the doxorubicin lifetime limit.'

Maybe once Peter Mandelson is off the news maybe they will.

(True story: 1990's. I was in a lift with my work equipment and it stopped a floor or two early. Doors opened and Peter Mandelson was there, waiting for the lift. He gave a filthy look and then the doors closed shut again ;-)

You can't win the cash Ice, you propsoed the competition :-)

AI;

‘ Key Statistics and Facts:

Male Prevalence: Around 50% of Chinese men smoke, with some studies indicating rates as high as 49.7%–50.8%.

Global Share: China accounts for nearly 30% of the world's tobacco smokers and produces 46% of the world's cigarettes.’

‘ Wouldn't be surprised to see the Chinese buying Avacta.’

They, the Chinese, must be headed for a gigantic lung cancer problem when you consider how many Chinese men seem to smoke. Visited in 2009 and buses were full of smoke. All the younger men were at it. If Avacta can help with lung cancer then it’s a vast population that will benefit. Unless the government there wants people to smoke and not be around in old age?

And in the news..

'Chris, are you still interested in my buys and sells or would you prefer me not to bother?'

Chris might not be interested Wyn, but I am...

I dare say I'm not alone either.
