Very sensible.
Personally im glad I added yesterday morning - I think that was a big overaction to just scan of the headlines. The cash needed "next few months call" isn't based on facts, its in contrast to the facts. at year end they had £1.19 million and in april raised £9.9 before fees - fees will be about £700k - So £10.4 million net in the bank at start of April - Give or take £100k thats not up for debate.
What is up for debate is how long that £10.4 million will last - using last 6 months figures the 15.7 months from april but thats a simplistic view.
If you look at the historic accounts, the reason the cash burn is reducing is bacuse of a key metic - Net cash used through operations H12023 was £5.222 million H1 2024 reduced to £3.42 milion - there are a few factors but there was alot of investment needed to get those labs built and accredited, develope PSE in very quick time etc - which is now done.
Stevie and Mr Mathis etc should have started to be in the H1 accounts, but I think there will be still more cost in legal etc as the deals get done -
Then we have the sales, looking much better for PSE and growing (but we did see that last year for cirt 😊and we now have cert getting into hospital groups in the US
My thoughts are that OBD is in a much stronger position than in September 2023 when it reached 50p - they have more cash , lower burn (still very high though) and some deals that we can actually see, they will defo need cash at some point early to mid 20303 IMO , but if by the time they need it, we have clearer visibility to B Even then that wont be a problem, if not it will be at 3p

Ithought they cames out fighting yesterday day and Jon was careful and conservative, compared to that awful presentation last year.
Operational they have done so much in a short time frame, but killed thier reputation by stoking up the SP with words like unpresedented and exponetial - which made JB look very foolish at best
