Yes the RNS is good news, but any significant increase in share price will require follow up orders. However the customer is the NHS who are bureaucratic and subject to high levels of financial control - hence the market does not expect an immediate increase in sales.

Swingman, you can't blame the MMs for everything. The spread reflects the liquidity (volume of transactions). If you look at companies with high levels of trades (liquid) then the spread is very small, but where share trades are very few (iliquid) the spread is much greater, as we are seeing very few trades in GDR the spread is 27%.

Also I understand that the failure occured on 29th May

I am not sure there is too much of a mystery.

We know that the company is cash strapped and was probably planning to raise funds on the back of any share price increase following successful FAT3. Following the setback the share price would have tanked, making a fundraise near impossible.

They realise that a fund raise is now not an option so are considering what options are available to licence the technology, out source manufacture, etc. rather than risk ending up in administration.

having read recent posts i also think that defence will be an early opportunity for ilika and, considering how ceres power shares have increased recently i also believe ilika shares will also rise significantly as soon as there is a sniff of a contract. summary: dyor, but here are a few pointers:

a 2022 army report included a 15-year plan to make the majority of its land capabilities hybrid or fully electric by 2035.

in april 2023 bab**** were awarded a contract by the mod to help the british army understand the applications and constraints of electric propulsion

known as project lurcher bab**** partnered with ev experts electrogenic to covert four military land rovers (two protected, two general service) to electric. these are undergoing evaluation by the armoured trials and development unit (atdu).

the project will also informs mod of potential threats to be cognisant of, to enhance its strategic approach.”

at the core of the electrogenic offering is the ability to have total control over every element of the electric drivetrain.

in 2024 the u.k. defence ministry entered a partnership with british motor-racing formula 1 team mclaren to upgrade several defence projects, including project lurcher.

mclaren (mclaren applied technologies and mclaren racing) has a history (since 2016) of commercial and technical collaboration with ilika.

Kat, its the incessant repetitive comment that bugs people like me who follow the 'chat' but rarely feel the need to comment. You have clearly stated your views (many times) , just sit back and then say 'I told you so' at the appropriate time. But I doubt you will do that!

Jubby, you are wrong, website states no tests available

Goods news. It is a logical to develop the vast potential for solar energy in desert areas. Historically there has been insufficient local demand to justify the investment, but the growing demand for the manufacture / demand for green hydrogen and ammonia will now drive this forward.

I am not an expert, that is why I invested in ANIC - they are. Our investment is diversified across a portfolio of companies, some may fail and some will succeed, but with this 'spread bet' the risk is significantly reduced.
The increase in world population and consequent demand for food is as potentially catastrophic as global warming. I believe technology will address this issue before the world succumbs to 'food wars'. ANIC is a key player in this.

Hi Mathurin, this product is not a treatment, it is a food supplement that addresses the imbalance of bacteria in the gut, so no issue regarding long term use. I understand that it is intended for long term use to avoid reoccurrence of the condition.

Two months for patient to be unblinded, after review

Sterland, thanks for the feedback. My 73 year old sister took part in the AZ vaccine trial and was 'unblinded' late January, two months after trial end, so this seems normal. She had the vaccine, not placebo, and will now have periodic blood tests to monitor decline in antibody level. On this basis, I would expect that, if you had the treatment, they will want to continue monitoring for 'long term Covid' symptoms. GLA

The gauge is the UK is 1435mm while the European standard is 1600mm, so all new lines built to that gauge.
In addition to gauge difference , as suggested by TruroTrader bridge and tunnel clearance will be an issue. When UK tracks are upgraded to electric it is common for bridges to require replacement to increase the headroom. So, for UK 'underslung' is really a requirement.

The AZ trial did include some over 65's. My 73 year old sister took part in the trials and received the AZ vaccine (not Placebo) and subsequent blood tests confirm she has antibodies. She is now part of an ongoing study, having routine blood tests to check for antibodies.

Can only assume it is because it goes ex-dividend on 11the Feb

I had my vaccination on Sunday evening at a local mass vaccination centre. It was incredibly well organised including car parking, booking in, etc by many volunteers and support staff . I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. There were at least 20 people actually doing the injections and I would estimate they were each giving a jab every few minutes.
Feel a bit groggy today but that could be the celebratory hangover!

Playingtheodds: being invested here isn't stressful, but reading some of the posts on this BB can be stressful! Having said that there are some very good posters too.

The RNS of the 5th Jan staes
"Following its reclassification as an AIM Rule 15 cash shell in January 2020, the Company is required to make an acquisition which constitutes a RTO by 28 January 2021, failing which the Company's admission to trading on AIM may be cancelled"

The key is "may be cancelled". If the company is progressing RTO then I would expect AIM to grant an extension

The greenest car you can drive is the one you currently own - all new cars create a carbon footprint which outweighs the advantage of changing "just to be green". The time to change to EV is when your current car needs to be replaced. The next generation EVs will have lighter / more energy dense batteries, giving significantly greater range. at which point the inconvenience and perceived "range risk" associated with EVs will disappear. Hydrogen may not be best suited to small/family cars but will become standard for large vans, lorries, buses, trains and ships, etc.

It is estimated that one third of the worlds population caught spanish flu over the three years and four waves of the virus. It is estimated that between 20 and 50 million people died due to the virus. I don't believe it was not treated like the plague, the first wave was during WW1 and the movement of troops increased the spread. The waves were slower to transmit around the world the due to the limited international travel.

The RNS of 13th Jan states UK trial has started and that US & EU are to follow, so doubt if it has started in the US yet
