Quickwin08 - "Tim. He lied. He made us all invest on the promise of deals".

Foe once I have to come to Tim's defence. He DIDN'T make anyone do anything.

If peeps were gullible enough to ignore Tim's track record & to take his interviews (or indeed today's RNS) at face value without even questioning it, then more fool them.

GoldGirl - I suggest you seek help.

For the record, I still see a chance of a deal being announced. Eventually. So I'll continue to hold.

But as I've said from the start, I won't be adding and think there's a 50:50 chance today's slump will continue.

After all, at best there's now no real news to prop up the SP for at least a month or two. And at worst, there's simply no news at all. Ever. Except, perhaps of Tim finally getting his comeuppance at the next AGM.

As for those reading hope into lines from this morning's RNS. Just remember who wrote it. You know, the same man who consistently told us 2025 eas the year of delivery. No ifs no buts. No "valuing a more methodical approach over speed".

Funny how he timed this announcement until just after Lanstead's sharing agreement expired. Pure coincidence obvs.

OSD - your posts have CONSTANTLY been positive, albeit your sermons sometimes put both sides (presumably just so you could always claim to be right).

And there was me thinking hubris was one of the seven deadly sins...

So you've constantly predicted imminent riches (greed being another deadly sin), only for Tim to pull the rug from under your flock's feet.

More fool any of them for blindly tuning in to your sermons. Keep a close eye on your collection plate this Sunday. Methinks a few will be trying to take their money back out.

OSD - called Tim wrong. End of.

Unfortubately, like most religious fanatics, you appear too blinded by faith to see the wood from the trees.

OSD - all I've learnt from your sermons is that you called it totally wrong.

Repent.

Halfbutt - it maybe time to halve your stake & cut your losses assuming you value your life - & fear Mrs Halfbutt's flying frying pan.

Don't bother trying to look into the whites of Tim's eyes. Just see how the market's reacted. Tells you way more than the deranged "I still believe" brigade.

Two more interesting nuggets from today's RNS@

"We are seeking a partner". So only the one then.

"The whole team is ... valuing a more methodical approach over speed, so the best outcome for shareholders can be achieved." Which presumably can't have been the case when Tim "promised"us all 2025 would be the year of delivery.

OSD - I fear your congregation may soon start to dwindle, as the believers increasingly realise they've been led down the stairway to nowhere.

Here's a theme for next Sunday's sermon (assuming you even bother or that anyone turns up):

"Tim's not the Messiah. He's just a very naughty boy - Discuss."

My only financial advice would be do what you like with your own dosh, but don't bother preaching to others as they may no longer thank you for it.

SP currently down 22% on the day.

Amen.

86KB - this naysayer won’t “get his entry” because he has no intention of ever adding.

To coin a phrase, Tim’s not the Messiah, he’s just a very naughty boy.

All those who told us repeatedly they’d topped up at prices well into double digits are looking pretty silly now.

And rather than admit defeat, they prefer to fire abuse at the naysayers (aka the people who called it right).

Instead they should simply cut the crepe and come clean - Tim’s done his usual & strung up the believers like kippers.

How anyone can say they’re pleased with this morning’s news beggars belief.

Tim said repeatedly & categorically that 2025 was the year of delivery. Yet all he’s delivered with today’s announcement is yet another screeching u-turn.

Now he’s trying to string us along into believing there are multiple top 10 pharma companies fighting over P140.

Wake up & smell the coffee peeps.

Martinu - I think what it means is that Opti was getting nowhere with scale up & commercialisation of the original formulation.

It’s now developed a far more reliable alternative. But this reformulation has introduced significant delays. Jury’s currently still out as to whether potential partners will bite with this revised product.

Interesting comment about sugar producers viewing the original Sweetbiotix product as a threat, so not being prepared to engage. The revised formulation MAY change that as it modifies sucrose into potentially more valuable end products. But time will tell.

Equally, there might be no deal at all.

All those predicting imminent riches are speaking from hope rather than fact.

The only thing we can say with certainty is that so far Tim has delivered zip. Other than a patent filing & endless (as yet unfulfilled) promises.

I don’t think any “short delay” would affect the SP unduly.

We’ve already experienced quite a long delay compared to the original summer production guidance, but the SP has proved remarkably resilient. Mainly because of other potentially lucrative developments.

Bored of this 20-29p trading range we’ve experienced since the summer. Let’s have a permanent breakthrough into the 30p area by Christmas please. Call it a Santa rally, a helium ballooning - whatever!

Kaeren - unaware of any law forcing Hex to release news by end Nov.

But it looks likely compressor will be on site by then. Earliest possible first production looking like December to me, Montana weather permitting.

OSD - "That's the optimism in me I'm afraid - and I will not apologise for that."

But by saying "I'm afraid", you kinda HAVE apologised. And I graciously accept your apology, even though you locked me out of you church & demoted me to a lowly post-Sunday service barista.

OSD - I agree about those MM comments. Investors ultimately determine what a company’s worth.

MMS can’t force ANYONE to buy or sell, whatever “tricks” they may (more likely may not) be playing.

But you go on to suggest to GG that this share’s a slam dunk, which is clearly utter tosh.

An RNS now simply repeating “talks are progressing” would do little to reassure investors.

We’ve already been told all that. And with each day that passes, it’s looking just that little bit less likely.

The only thing now that would seriously bolster the SP is confirmation of an actual meaty deal. NOT Tim’s silky reassurance that we’re nearly there.

GuitarMusic - you suggest Tim’s in control of deal timing, but that’s highly unlikely.

It takes two to tango. And any potential buyer ultimately has far more say on timing than Tim ever can.

Unless he’s ALREADY concocted some sort of new agreement with Avion. Which seems the only way he could repeatedly predict a deal this year with such certainty. But then, surely he’d have been legally obliged to report it the moment it was struck?
