Current Trading and Prospects



The period since the end of the last financial year, on 31 March 2020, has seen pivotal changes for the Company in its progress away from its origins in the oil & gas sector and towards its future as a vertically-integrated CBD and hemp business. The new board of directors (the "Board") announced on 29 April 2020 has continued and accelerated the progress already made on this path.



The strategic partnership with the Schrader Family continues to develop successfully, combining their position as both the Company's largest shareholder (13.32%) and through its US-wide convenience store network of distribution businesses, Ox Distributing LLC, the Company's key marketing channel for the Chill brand within the USA. This has resulted in outline terms being agreed on a new multi-State distribution agreement to place Chill brand products in US convenience stores, which is expected to be signed this quarter.



The Board can also confirm that the Schrader Family has made the payment due on 30 April 2020 for the loan note announced on 26 March 2020 and the Board is confident the Schrader family will continue to be supportive and instrumental in the growth of the Company.



While the current Covid-19 pandemic is significantly limiting footfall in convenience stores in many US States, the Board believes the distribution agreements already agreed and those close to signing will lead to a substantial increase in sales of Chill brand products within the USA. The brand's focus on the tobacco-replacement market is expected by the Board to be especially attractive as health concerns are exacerbated by the current pandemic. The Board has commenced negotiations for distribution of the Chill brand in two overseas markets, in addition to others within the USA, and hopes to conclude further signifi

CHEPSTOW-BASED healthcare firm Forth has launched its new Covid-19 antibody testing kit.

The firm, which is based at Beaufort Park in the town, has produced the first antibody testing kit to meet the MHRA guidelines and be made available to the public.

The 'finger prick' test is laboratory analysed to check for the presence of Covid-19 IgG antibodies which develop after exposure to the virus.

The kit meets the required MHRA guidelines of more than 98 per cent specificity and sensitivity, and has CE marking. All kits can be purchased online with the samples taken in the home or workplace, before being sent away for analysis. It is currently available for over 18s only.

Forth worked with accredited laboratory Eurofin to develop the kits. The IgG antibodies are thought to be made by healthy individuals in response to exposure to the virus as an ‘immune response’. These antibodies reach 100 per cent detectability 20 days after the onset of symptoms meaning Day 20 is the recommended earliest test date.

Currently, it is not known to what extent immunity is conferred nor for how long as Covid-19 is such a new virus.

The test will not tell if the tester currently has coronavirus as that is done using a PCR swab test. However a positive result will suggest a past infection of Covid-19, a negative result will mean that no Covid-19 antibodies have been detected at the time of collecting the sample. If the test is done before 20 days post onset of symptoms, there is a risk of a false negative if the body hasn’t had enough time to generate the antibodies.

From the point of receipt of the sample, Forth aim to have the results processed and returned to the tester within 24-48 hours. Personalised results are accessed through their secure dashboard. The new kits extend Forth’s range of home health check tests including male and female hormones, nutri check, Vitamin D, Immunity check as well as their baseline kit.

Forth CEO and co-founder Sarah Bolt said: “Helping people look after their health is our core passion and purpose. Clearly with the global pandemic, personal health care has been heightened beyond anyone’s expectation.

"As soon as we entered this crisis we knew we wanted to make a positive contribution in helping to defeat this disease. We are grateful to our lab partners and our team who have worked hard to make this available as soon as it met the high validation criteria set out by the MHRA.

"The results are for information purposes to better understand our bodies. This complements the provision provided by the NHS and other health services. That way we can all begin to plan for our own health care with more knowledge than before.”
