Techguru, sorry can not agree with you. This is a crisis cash raise.
i) Companies don't have a 50% discounted placing unless matters are dire
ii) double confirmation of the dire state of the company is the issue of warrants attached to the new shares. This will be another significant dilution if the warrants are converted. In my opinion this significantly limits the potential upside of the share price up to the 1.50p level (the strike price for the warrants).
iii) the people who are likely to benefit (if the grand plan comes to fruition) are the people buying shares for the first time at the issue price of 0.65p. Long term holders who have helped finance previous placings (including previous management and Directors at 10p) are highly unlikely to see any return on their money unless they constantly buy in to future placings (and I agree with others here, there will be more to come) in order to reduce their average price.
This is a frontier nascent pharmaceutical company more akin to venture capital, or better still should be a private company not listed (and this could happen yet).
How long do you think before VAL is profitable?
