Chesh, the trail is going downhill.

T.Rat, thank you for your kind words. Bearing in mind that you have posted over 80 times in the last month, all on this board, I would imagine that most other readers are bored with having to read such verbiage. Are you an employee of the Company or GBs mouthpiece?

To put some things into perspective:

1. The turnover for 2021 was massaged with the inclusion of MSYS.
2. The £10m placing in June 2021 was at 30p when the price was 33p. I bet the investors thought that they were on a winner. I wonder how they feel now the price is under 20p?
3. On the 28th April 2021 the Company quoted (in respect to their potential JV in China):
‘ On or before closing, the parties will negotiate, agree, and execute a number of definitive agreements for the Joint Venture which are expected to be signed by 30 June 2021 with the JV becoming operational by 1 September 2021. ’
4. I would like to know what the income is from Labskin, since most of the product appears to have been given away. The product is so good that they have now employed influencers.
5. We have been given no guidance for turnover for 2022.
6. Exhibitions and Conferences cost money and to date they appear to have generated very little income.
7. Water monitoring is great but who is going to buy a product which is telling them their source/discharge is polluted.
8. The breathalyser and water monitoring on the cruise ships appears to have gone down the drain.
I am underwater with this share as are a lot of holders, especially those who invested 10 months ago. I’ll hang on but expect to see some positive moves forward on income rather than blustering on Twitter.

One thing any new investor should consider is when the CEO of a Company is about to give a presentation or if any Director sells his shares then that is the time to pull the plug. Both these Companies are guilty of poor communication. The presentation by AS last week has caused a further crash in the share price. How low can it go, I am just above board having bought Avct at 47p in April 2020, but my Odx holding has been decimated.

"All the best (fact here, SP is up, I'll pop a piccy up for ya if ya want...........! :()"
The share price last Monday lunchtime was 27p. How is that up? I reckon down 22% in seven days.

“Can detect drug use to a certain building?.. even better reason to roll them out LOAD UP.”
They could start in Parliament, where 11 places have been identified for snorting.

Apre, based on your comments, I take it that you do not vote in the elections. In which case you should not be in a position to object to any political viewpoints. Those that do not vote should shut up with their political views.

Dear John,

Thank you for your reply to my email, I feel that for a change something is happening. I think that you will find the recent press release by BIVDA also very interesting (copy below for your information).

Kindest regards,
David

On Wednesday I sent the following email to my MP in Salisbury, John Glen

Good evening John,

I have just been listening to Neale Hanvey, on BBC Parliament. He was presenting a paper to the Government on the wastefulness and lack of support by the Government for the UK Diagnostic Industry. It is now out there on record, despite the house being empty, itself being shameful. I thought the responder, Michael Ellis, was patronising who tried to talk it down, just as your responses have been to me from the DHSC.
Well done Neale Hanvey, please listen/read what he has had to say.
Kind regards and best wishes for 2022.
David

His reply this evening:

Dear David

Thank you for your email and Happy New Year.

I am grateful for you raising the Adjournment debate on covid-19 contracts with me, and I congratulate the Member for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, Neale Hanvey, on securing this debate.

I understand the points Mr Hanvey was making but am sorry to hear that you felt the response to be patronising. However, I must stress that the United Kingdom has been able to achieve enormous success in our vaccine roll-out programme and our procurement of contracts.

While I could relay information on how successful the UK’s procurement of PPE and vaccines has been, as you listened to the debate you will be familiar with many of the statistics and I do not wish to insult your intelligence by repeating this information.

Please be assured I will continue to discuss the concerns Mr Hanvey raised with my colleagues.

Very best

John

Diplomat, got exactly the same reply from my MP - John Glenn in Salisbury. Since they live next door to each other perhaps they should both speak to Neale Hanvey. But it will be a waste of time, you will not get another response. As a past supporter of Boris my support for him and his Government is fast waning, but look at the opposition, Angela Raynor, Lisa Nandy and smug Keri Starmer, Lord help us.

A lot of words. The only thing which proves if the company is successful will be sales, which to date probably do not even cover the cost of all the exhibitions. We shall see. Davde - are you talking about Sirius?

Newliberty, I am not a disgruntled ex employee but I do agree with Muggins this has been a dog of a share over the last year, during which time GB and his wife have enriched themselves. All talk and not enough action.

"Just have to read the RNSs and listen to the presentations." That is exactly what Muggins is doing - it is all talk and few sales, China is six months overdue and debatable as to whether it will happen. The only thing that will happen is a merger with MSYS and GB taking the cream.

My last message for a month, not a regular poster. I am happy with four out of six of my holdings today. DVRG and HBR are the exceptions. HBR is understandable considering the oil price. There is nothing that has happened today which should have made DVRG fall over 7% except a very poor RNS which shows little respect for shareholders. The problem that I have with the Company is too much ‘aren’t I wonderful’ on Twitter and not enough substance.

T.Rat, Referring to SENS is like talking about chalk and cheese. SENS is in the middle of a potential MBO, so the share price is unlikely to move from the 90 - 95 range until a new buyer comes along. Tell you what though, if someone came in here with an offer of 40p I would be tempted.

T.Rat, you are looking at a different sector, oil is down, travel will be curtailed, a great opportunity for DVRG, time to put some contracts to bed. Gerry has been talking about the potential of China since the end of April but as I said in a message 30th April can you trust the Chinese. Err, no.

Ding, I have looked but not found out when those shares were due to be admitted to the market. Was there an option date?
