A chap on the ADVFN site said he saw a company link stating it was 24th January. I can't see anything (it's just blank under upcoming), so I wonder if he's seen the 2023 date posted below that... this figures, as it would be a Wednesday in 2024 and they don't usually issue on that day. Que sera.

I was hoping it might come earlier if they have a record November under their belts. Followed by a powerful dividend statement of intent. I'm not quite sure what that is, as I thought last time 10p was easily achievable and we got 3p twice!

Hopefully, a clear picture for 2024 to put an end to the range this is in, which as you both say, is not fair value.

Just like to say thanks to you both plus NG & IPC for some excellent research and analysis that you shared with us on here. Much appreciated and best wishes to you and yours for Christmas and the New Year.

Dave.

All I can think of is that they have long memories of 2018 when it got pummeled after the CFO scandal and they haven't forgiven the company despite the fact it is a completely different animal today.

That's why I feel they could have put something out earlier to settle it, once and for all. Record November and all that. The market also plays on their reliable comms dates - they should mix it up if they are as frustrated as us!

Indeed and I will be reinvesting my dividend when it arrives tomorrow (at a better sp than I imagined also)! I'm sure others will be too.

'Investors' in the wider markets continue to confound me lol.

No, they have already stated it will be January as per usual (IR were contacted and confirmed this).

I'm hoping it comes in the first half though rather than their customary last Tuesday/Thursday offering. Bearing in mind that it was stated by a company employee that November was a record month (when previous months were also record breaking).

This caused a feeling of maybe another TU earlier as the results were again even greater than revised expectations. I think they have missed a trick - just MHO.

I'll forgive them though if it's to do with getting a satisfactory 'progressive' dividend policy in place :¬)

Good buying opportunity when the dividend arrives tomorrow.

Have to agree - why can't they sow some Xmas cheer, instead of resolutely sticking to the end of January. They must know most of the data and it just gets traded off every time.

Hey-ho.

They stated several times that Canada approval was expected H2 23 ....

Not much time left before that becomes another myth.

Great posts, NG - much appreciated for the updates.

No - because they pay Hardman for 'research' who have stated probably by end of November, which they then do not do!

Priceless, and shows just how low down the pecking order PI's are now that our money has been well and truly absorbed.

I could also add in another caveat for thought and that is that they are not as good as predicted.

Saint Peter would have chuffed off from here by now.

Yep, like us. His own money, not options like GM. He should get his hand in his pocket now to cement the sentiment.

He's been given a lot and should give something back to investors instead of rhetoric.

Plus Chair takes an additional 2M - hardly the action you'd take if you were not confident of success....

For anyone interested who hasn't yet seen :-

Yes, saw that myself this week, Jim.

Very encouraging rising trend in a very difficult area which is encouraging as people I know with ID/A have never heard of it, sadly. I told them to hassle their GP for it as it is the best treatment by a country mile!

Would like to see October's figure in the near future before Xmas with luck.

GLA.

I agree with you on that.

But, I'm wondering if 50p would get them with all the dilution and time that has elapsed.

Wish I knew their average !

That keeps being said.

BUT, AOP are in at a fairly high average IMHO and they have stuck around through thick and thin.

They are not going to give it away now for anything under premium, especially when the tide is turning, at last.

By premium I mean under 50p and even that is laughable after the hard yards endured.

Agreed - their only clanger imho, 2 x 3p divis is not very 'progressive'.

They could have done 10p without making a scratch...

Well, having read that, I'd hardly say it was a 'respected broker giving a sell recommendation'. Rather a taking of profits by an II.

Investors take profits all the time. It must have been a significant holding as it was Wednesday when the price fell dramatically. Lots of other malarkey here and on the other board from characters who only comment on down days. One, in particular should maybe consider a change of name to perhaps Yoghurtman....

Yes, I remember the 'BS merchants' comment at about £6... traveled well that!

Nice to see he's learnt from it and moved, erm, completely nowhere.

Agree with pretty much all of that, Shandy.

I could see the guy scanning through (definitely avoiding the tricky q's like why haven't you bought any with your own money, Greg if it's so excellent and you're so pleased, etc).

Shares in bottom drawer here - luckily I have a decent company in my p/f that rewards its investors with capital growth and a progressive dividend. Something we can only dream about here, sadly.

ATB.

It's just landed - 3/10/23 - it's a good platform I've found previously.

Hi BBN,

No, that reply was for handybrownone as I thought the income could be useful/significant, but wasn't being taken into account in his calculations.

Thanks also for your detailed posts. Very useful information.

I was hoping that the 11.4M from China would arrive sometime before end of '24 but it's not really clear at this stage how much the delay will impact the progress.

Best wishes,

Dave.
