it appears to be a restatement of our 2013 Annual Report, with some amendments. My guess is that it's pursuant to our application for NASDAQ.

chill, baby - it will all come out in the wash.

in the Sargasso Sea. Total trades this week: 0. Month to date: 5,839.

For 4/6½d you can buy Her Ladyship, the genuine model; after 74 years one has lost patience.

a disgraceful story, casting nasturtiums on English womanhood. Why, back when Churchill was Prime Minister for the last time, Her Ladyship allowed Snooty into her boudoir on the Queen's official birthday AND during Royal Ascot.

Reliable was once the Pharaoh of the 3-Wheel Blacktop.

stop moaning and sell the Regal.

Wrong board.

Nobody wants it: Timid doesn't, Gibril neither. SISG and China Rail don't, nor do the bondholders or the shareholders. The GoSL hates the idea. Nobody wants admin and admin is not what we'll get. We'll get a haircut, and the only two important questions for PIs are how long we'll be in the salon waiting and how much it will cost.

Clem's a worrier, he needs to take a leaf out of that Leeson cove's book.

Clem - I asked this very question during last week's CC. I can only refer you to the answer that Scott gave - that IIs are not interested in a few thousand shares that will have the effect of pushing the SP up 100% in short order due to illiquidity; they are thinking in terms of wanting a million, five million shares. I then made the point that you might expect at least more retail buying at these levels. Scott's reply was that we are so far under the radar in that respect that few PIs in the US know we exist. I'm only repeating what was said, make of it what you will. In any case, the next couple of months should see some sort of financing to take us through to EPO commercialisation and Onco P I in the US. Of that I have no doubt.

While the current impasse on OTC is frustrating, remember that LPX, XEN and now XBIO have historically never had a problem raising funds - usually at a healthy premium to the SP. As Scott has reiterated several times, there is nothing wrong with the science, the problem lies elsewhere - how to fulfil the conditions necessary to uplist to NASDAQ - notably the day-to-day liquidity? That seems to be the problem that the Board is working to solve.

walked into XBIO. Nothing happened.

The problem historically, as I understand it - in Russia at least - appears to be in recruitment of suitable candidates for the cohorts, and their sticking to the trial and its parameters for the duration. In any event, I note this today from our old friends Proactive Investors: http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/76462/xenetics-sights-firmly-fixed-on-nasdaq-listing-76462.html

Scott was at pains to minimise the importance of the Russian (and Indian) connections yesterday. However, I wouldn't be surprised, if they can get their act together, to see EPO royalties begin to flow from one or other territories in the medium term, since they appear to be the furthest advanced (and least stringently regulated?) towards commercialisation.

I think we have 2-3 months in the kitty to see us through to new funding. No worries for Snooty on that score. In any case will pawn Her Ladyship's tiara to help the old firm if necessary.

would be interested to correspond about today's CC. If you are too, my throwaway email, good for a while is: snooty@mailinator.com

I hope, since you raise these questions, you will ask them at today's CC?

How are the cornering skills coming along? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr8SvdSzs7c

One sincerely trusts that this Slavic nonsense will be short-lived. It is a Snooty tradition in the male line to safeguard the family supply of Old Calvados and vintage Armagnac for generations to come. Indeed, throughout a long and illustrious career, one has always kept a weather, not to say close, eye on the cellars at Schloss Snooty. However, over the years there have been some sad stock depletions: to cite but one instance from one's youth, it was Snooty himself who apprehended Boggins, Pater's old retainer, in the act of selling bottles of the French nectar to the local inebriates, out of the kitchen door at one's residence. Needless to say, he was given his marching orders post haste. These days, in one's more mature years, one is inclined, particularly on days of Her Ladyship's high dudgeon - increasingly frequent, alas - to visit the cellars, select a vintage, and repair to one of the potting sheds, there to contemplate the meaning of life with Nettles, the under-gardener. Ambrosia sans pareil!
