StoneyD, this will never reach the MSD sales stage. Again it has been re-iterated in the Results presentation that there is "significant interest" in MED and I reckon "several" of these interested parties aren't interested in partnering FUM, but buying the whole lot out. MED is a very very valuable asset and this in a tremendous breakthrough re the ED market. Taken out by xmas IMO.

lol Strong sell

What ridiculous nonsense. Do you understand the role of an MM, Zwartkops? Obviously not. The SP is going down because selling outweighs the buying, yes it is as simple as that. It may just be that some folk don't share the same optimism or need the cash for whatever reason, but it's absolutely NOTHING to do with MMs "marching it down" and all that rubbish. Please stop ramping this stock, it makes you look foolish.

CSD is now just a side salad and will pale into insignificance if MED and the pain relief are successful. Obviously gambling on successful trials of these products, but if comes off then we're hopefully looking at annual royalties and milestone payments well in excess of £80 million (probably much more) which is pure profit. Sounds an awful lot, but that's why current market cap means FUM is a very worthwhile punt at the mo. I shall be watching this like a hawk (hence my nik hawkhead). Could be a nice little earner. And if you guys like shorting shares, check out AIM dogs QFI and IOF. Listen to hawky, I know my stuff.

Can't understand for the life in me why some folk mess about trying to squeeze an extra penny or so on the bid especially when they reckon it's gonna be a multi bagger. Beggars belief. Looks like there is some off Market book building. Doubt if it's anything to do with the impending results which will just be a number crunching exercise and more promises of jam tomorrow. Having said that, I continue to be long here as I actually believe there WILL be jam tomorrow some day, although as with all loss making bio-tecs very high risk but at current levels worth the punt.

Yet again IOF are failing to inform their shareholders when to expect the Final Results. Maybe that's because they don't really care ...................................... (lol)

Brainless, these clowns couldn't make a profit when iodine prices were much higher than they are now, so you're clutching at straws methinks. Directors paying themselves high salaries out of Stena/Panacea cash as the company continues to lose money. The end is nigh. Strong sell

Thanks for the "welcome back", escape. Yes, it's about time for a "reality check" for some of the rampers here. I'm predicted a $4 million loss for 2016 and that's before intangible write offs. The fixed cost base is way too high for this company to be sustainable. The directors know it (directors not buying) the Market knows it (market cap at "pathetic levels") and good old hawky knows it (as usual!). Yes, a dog of a share this one. Strong sell

Hi guys, Hawky here. I know my onions (ask IOF shareholders). Short term to medium weakness here as FUM tries to "rebuild bridges" following their 2 year shelf life fiasco. Church & Dwight signed up in April 2013 so almost 4 years on and no launch. But forget CSD. Next year we'll see MED rule the roost. No takeover possible 'till next trials done. Market not daft - says it all. Successful trials and read the topic header. Still the obvious fail risk but a worthy punt at this level. Strong long term buy

Yes, the rampers' "worst nightmare" is back. Still the same old ramping I see on here. Sorry for my absence. I have been travelling the world on the proceeds of "significant stock market gains", needless to say where they came from! So is there still some shorting gains to be had here? Most certainly. IOF continue to treat their shareholders with disdain. Can't even be bothered to tell them when to expect to see the Final Results. Yet another huge loss in store as they fritter away Stena's and Panacea's money. Becker still holds ZERO shares. You've gotta laugh. Will catch up with you guys in more detail later. Strong sell

King: "I will be buying more" Oh dear, don't you guys ever learn? Obviously not! Good luck with your impending transaction, Kingy, I'm sure you'll have plenty of sellers willing to sell you theirs. Having said that, bad news on Monday could include a share suspension should the administrators get called in, so you might not get the chance. Incidentally, there were 18 AIM cancellations in March: http://www.londonstockexchange.com/statistics/historic/aim/aim-statistics-archive-2016/mar-16.pdf I don't believe for one minute that Friday's big sell off were PIs panic selling - on the contrary, if the PIs on this BB are a representative sample of PIs in general, then they actually see the current demise as a great buying opportunity. So it looks like bad news in store for IOF shareholders IMO. Very bad. Strong sell

Am I right? I'm not wrong! Seriously tho', guys, I did warn you but genuine sympathy to all those who were "graceful" enough to listen to my advice, even if they didn't entirely agree with it. But no sympathy at all for those who chose to "stalk" my posts and encouraged others to filter me. None whatsoever. The market cap has now fallen to "life support" levels which suggests every man and his dog in the City knows what the score is. Strong sell (for the last time?)

What are this lot playing at? Why do they persist year after year on releasing their final yearly accounts unacceptably late? My company are in the process of collecting data for quarter end March and we'll have a very accurate set of accounts by the end of the month ..... and our turnover and balance sheet eclipse "tiny" IOF. So why can't IOF do the same? Don't they care about their shareholders? And still no replacement for Hekking even though he jumped ship nearly 2 months ago. Where's his replacement? Why aren't they addressing the current SP? Questions questions but no answers! Strong sell

Not so sure about the business model being any good, larryh. What's more, the largest supplier in the US is Iochem, and browsing their website ....... http://www.iochem.net/ ...... well, IOF claim they're aspiring to overtake this lot. Took all of 5 minutes to read their entire website. Not exactly "dynamic", and certainly doesn't suggest the "biggest supplier" would be big enough to pay hungry shareholders a dividend. No chance of a takeover IMO. Too much baggage with the unconverted bonds for a start. These need to be renegotiated asap and the way the SP is heading you're looking at 2p per share conversion creating going on for 700 million new shares - a huge dilution. Not only that, but the new shares would see Stena creep towards 75% shareholding when they could vote for a delisting - something I touched upon several months ago. Minority shareholders might as well wave goodbye to their investment with no prospect of a divi and unable to sell their shares. No wonder Becker's not buying, even he appears to think the shares aren't worth owning. And he's the CEO !! Yep, nobody (with any sense) is touching this with a bargepole. Stay well clear, or if you already own, then .... STRONG SELL!

larryh. For a start it's not "such a good company". It's a terrible one. For the upteenth year on the trot they're releasing their annual accounts unacceptably late. 3 months after the event and counting. Shocking. As for taking a punt at a lower price ......... as the great Peter Lynch often said, doesn't matter if you buy a share at a penny or a quid, if it goes bust you still lose the lot. Chicky's learnt the hard way, selling up then buying in lower but still down and prone to losing everything! But I did warn her *smug smile* Strong sell

....... another "bad day at the office" in store for IOF. Still not addressing the current SP. Still no replacement for Hekking. Still no notification of final results. This deserves everything it gets. Strong sell

Yes, Dav, IOF are most certainly bust as I write. They've not addressed the "bankrupt SP" to the Market and have seemingly given up on the basics like submitting documents to Companies House. I've called this absolutely spot on, 'nuff said. Maybe they'll make the "official announcement" when they're due to give the quarter end March production update, but my "calculated" guess will be the coming week. I feel "extremely smug" to be honest, but hey ho, I should be used to it by now! Strong sell

Well said, Escapetohome and Dav. One other thing that needs to be touched upon re the bonds, other than the obvious that the 20 million still needs repaying in a year's time, is that Panacea is a loan company rather than an investment company. The original terms stated that they could convert to 40p per share whenever the SP reached 80p, so Panacea would most likely have placed the resultant 7 million shares on the Market as they would have made a big profit over and above the 40p conversion price. I suppose yet another example of IOF showing disregard for shareholders, as those who would have bought in the 70s would have seen a big retreat as 7 million extra shares flood the Market. Ahhh, but the directors either don't own any shares or have sold millions, so why should they care? Go figure! So this begs the question, will Panacea accept a "get out of jail" conversion? Very unlikely IMO. They're a loan company who will no doubt deal with bad debts on a regular basis therefore call in the debt collectors so to speak if IOF default. They aren't in the business of "trying to help their customers", they just want their money back! All very very messy. Next RNS will be the killer, IMO. Strong sell

Thanks again, Escapetohome. This was never meant to be a competition, more of a "sharing of information", but certain folk chose to be rude and confrontational. But I'm sure even some of the "hardened rampers" listened to my advice eventually, with chicky selling up and "eegy & aimless" then declaring they never owned any shares in the first place. Why didn't they just do the honourable thing ..... admit to selling and thank me for my research? Oh well. Re today. Yet another "bad day at the office" I see. They'll certainly have to get those bonds sorted before the audit report is signed, but I can't see Stena and Panacea playing ball, even if an early deeply discounted share conversion is offered. Stena and Panacea will be foregoing a year's worth of interest and there's no guarantee they'll be able to dump their shares on the Market - the mug punters are running short of cash! So will the audit report be qualified? Deadly serious if it is. Credit rating will be shot and they won't have a hope in hell of raising finance, banks and IIs won't sanction it, and even existing II holders may dump stock on the back of a going concern audit qualification. With cash reserves at only 3 million QUID nine months ago ($4.7 million) and with iodine prices low and production hit, it doesn't take a genius to work out IOF could be scraping their financial barrel. Only a fool or a very brave short term trader will be buying into this dog. Have a happy Easter everyone. Strong sell

Thanks, Escapetohome, very much appreciated. I'd like to think that there are folk who have benefitted from my research and subsequent warnings by giving this the wide berth it deserves. Still no sign of the year end accounts, which would entail reporting on numbers which existed on New Year's Eve .... yes, that's how far away they are. Can't even tell their shareholders when to expect them. Same old same old. Today's Level 2 looked exceptionally weak, and I could buy literally "hundreds of thousands" if I was mad enough to do so. And the big spread suggests the big background seller is still providing plentiful stock .... the MMs don't want anymore. Oh, and they still haven't lodged Hekking's resignation with Companies House. Is anybody home? You've gotta laugh. Strong sell
