In NZ, waste water testing is being used successfully to track and identify cases in the current Covid outbreak. This is being done manually at sites all across the country, but obviously a possible future customer for Deepverge.
Looks as if someone is doing quite nicely out of Hardide. I wouldn't have thought ID.4 come cheap. I would have been more impressed if he'd spent the money on Hardide shares.
I am not sure that EBITDA is a good measure of performance with this company as I would expect depreciation to continue to be a high cost item.
Read the RNS, EBITDA2 will be around £115m, not profit. PRETAX more likely to be around £85m I suggest.
Stt,
You keep quoting the £28 reached by Blinkx in 2014. This was a spike which lasted a few days and was not representative of the Blinkx share price over that period (early 2014). I was invested in Blinkx at the time and have tripled my average since then.
Or possibly trend following algorithms have overshot the offer price.
Comparing the offer price with market price before Nov 2020 sucks. All prices last year were depressed because of Covid hence unfair comparison. What's in this for the Directors I wonder.
My experience with complaints procedure, mainly in response to software issues, leaves a great deal to be desired. Usually you get boiler plate text replies often referring you to their FAQ section of a web site. Then having resubmitted the query you get replies which make it obvious that the recipient has not read your query. On rephrasing you usually get a response from someone else who would appear to be more interested in getting your query out of his/her intray. After a number of attempts you often you just give up. Then you get some automatic request asking if you are satisfied with their service and would you like to fill in a questionnaire. Often management think they know what is happening in their company but often they do not.
Bentr,
I think that putting comments on this bulletin board is appropriate as we are all investors our hard earned cash in this company. The criticisms raised are very valid and should be taken seriously by GJ Brandon whose reply I consider condescending. He should have thanked you for your efforts and promised to have the matter addressed. I will say no more. Just a red flag around to me.
Almost twice as many shares on issue now compared with the time you are referring to which was seven years ago.
I am not questioning the reasons for the fund raise only lack of PI involvement. Had the company generated at least a small capital gain for long suffering shareholders over the last few years then they might have had an excuse. There seems to be plenty of potential with this product but the market for some reason does not seem to recognise this in the share price. Perhaps the need for more capital has held the share back and the fact that it appears to have been run more like a small family business.
Not sure what to make of this company as an investment. I have held since Sept 2016, during which turnover as doubled and pretax as increased 80%, yet share price has not changed. Coupled this with a buy/sell margin of 0.4p, not much in it for private investor evidently. Probably one of my worst investments over this period. Now to rub things in we get a huge dilution placing at 12% discount which excludes PI's. Not much point in voting against as Directors hold 40% of share capital.

It would seem to me that the large shipping companies are a law to themselves. We were told that the engine manufacturers insisted on LONO before the introduction of any new fuel. But it appears that this requirement has been conveniently disregarded or removed. Or perhaps the shipping companies are insuring themselves for any potential engine damage occurring.
Back invested here after three years absence. Hoping for a better result this time around.
I should imagine it will make a substantial contribution to fixed overheads thus improving .margins elsewhere. What's not to like.

The advantage of vacination with regard to cruise ships it makes any isolated event containable within the ship. Even if 5% of vaccinated passengers are capable of catching Covid its unlike these few will have been in contact with the infected person and if so may not themselves be contagious or very ill. In other words vaccination provides herd immunity on board ship. Testing will be required, but is not the answer alone, you will need the vaccination first IMO.
The only way cruise ships will be able to operate is to ensure that all crew and passengers are vaccinated before they are allowed on board. Those of you that consider Deepverge offers a quick testing solution for cruise ships are in cloud cuckoo land. Firstly you will need to have test that can ensure that NO passenger or crew member has COVID ie No false negatives when boarding. There is no rapid test that is operating or under development can or will ever achieve this accuracy. Even current lab tests do not have this level of performance. One Covid case on board a ship, as is detailed in the article referenced below, will result in curtailment of the cruise. The problem with cruise ships is social distancing is just not possible. That said, there may be a case for water testing in the future, but not just for Covid but other infectious diseases and bacteria which have always caused cruise ships problems in the past. But this is more of a longer term solution.
As I have said previously on this board, all rapid tests produced to date do not produce accurate enough results and do not meet the governments own specification. There is no evidence to suggest the Deepverge breath test will be any different. I do believe that the water testing and skin care products make the investment in this company worth a punt however.
