But on the downside, Eco Buildings said last October: 'the funding commitment [from Sudan} will be received over the course of the next six months. Eight months later, we've not heard anything.

I'm a shareholder in Eco, but I'm a bit worried that this company does too much talking and not enough doing.

We might see 20p this summer but the problem is we haven't received the promised cash from Sudan. And we were supposed to have it by the end of March. If that cash had come, Eco wouldn't have needed to do this dilutive placing. Yes, it's good that production is being increased in Albania, but the lack of cash from Sudan is disappointing. And worrying.

I can't see anything on his website where Oak Bloke says he has reduced his holding. Has he said something elsewhere?

Good post Toyin. My only quibble is that, given what we know now, I reckon the Singer estimate on the acquisitions is probably too high. 6p for the two of them when clearly things aren't going well looks on the high side.

I was a bit worried about the Senegal money not coming, so I'm very happy today. Surprised the share price hasn't gone up more.

Jeez Josh! So is it TW's fault that the share price is down 35% today?

Exactly, the questions are always pretty soft at any IMC I have seen.

Thanks for highlighting that Mol. This bit made me laugh:

"More generally the Board communicates with shareholders through the Annual Report and the Interim Statement, trading and other announcements made on RNS and at the Annual General Meeting WHERE THE BOARD ENCOURAGES INVESTORS TO PARTICIPATE." (my caps).

A big part of me would love to turn up at the hotel on December 29th - just to see Ashman's face when he realises he had failed to keep all PIs away from the meeting. Sadly, my wife has other plans for me on that day...

Netcurtains: I disagree. Firstly, I'm far from convinced that AI will kill Zenakine in four years. But even if it does, i'll take the special dividend or partial sharebuyback over more acquisitions. (And I'll accept the ensuing low share price.) That's cos I don't trust SA to make good acquisitions - he hasn't so far.

I'm very disappointed that SA wants to do more acquisitions. The danger now is that lots of Croda money will be frittered away on boosting SA's ego so that he can have a nice big empire to play with.

Just noticed this in chairman's statement: 'Our aim for the year ahead is to continue to build on the foundations of the business represented by the five pillars, AS WELL AS CONTINUING OUR AMBITION TO BE A CONSOLIDATOR IN THE MARKET.' (my caps.)

In other words, they want to do more acquisitions!!! I despair....

I think Toyin is right. Suggesting revenue of £6.2 million for '26 is very disappointing.

And no one has ranted yet about the AGM yet! Most AGMs I've been to have been at a civilised time like 11AM or noon. But no, SBTX go for 9AM, just to make it even more inaccessible than was already the case.

And we don't even know if SBTX will do another Investor Meets in the near future. Not while Croda continue to want a news blackout anyway.

I never said that the results will be in December. All I said was that last year's results were in December. This time round, we shall see.

We're waiting for the final results for the year to June 2025. Last year the final results were published on December 4th. We were told in August that revenue for the year would be between £4.5 million and £4.8 million.

Delighted to hear there's an ad on the sound channel. Really good news!

Says on insta that the store is in Doncaster. Apparently the products are in 2 stores in Doncaster.

More than a 'bit desperate.' It's seriously desperate! Things aren't looking good here. With the likes of Wegovy/Ozempic coming in pill form, I think Slimbiome has missed the boat.

The only real hope lies with Sweetbiotix. It may come good, or it may not. Then there's 6% of SBTX and a larger holding in Probiotix. And not much else. Sad.

Look, I'm a Kefi shareholder and I hope the share price does well next week but I'll be utterly amazed if it gets to 5p in the next 7 days. Dream on!

Changed my mind overnight. Staying in...
