Re the auditors. SOH has expressed frustration with Auditors, I seem to remember.

Results are usually published in June for YE Dec. We have had trading updates in the past, but these are ad hoc, so difficult to predict when they might be posted.

SlimBiome products , etc have been the main stay, since PBX was hived off. And this is a very crowded market, so don't expect massive returns there.

The long anticipated and hoped for SweetBiotix commercialisation, is still that! And whilst we have some advantage in science backed claims, competition must be growing there. And because the development partners for Sweet are, we are told, big players. We go at their pace.

Even so the SP was holding its own, with the usual sideways and slightly downward shift. So today's bigger drop is a bit disappointing. So my guess is the fall is due to lack of news/patience. The latter being understandable.

AS, thanks for taking the time and trouble to share your questions and responses. And for reposting info on SweetBiotix and rivals' attempts at getting competing ingredients through regulation. And ultimately to market.

Is it possible SOH's doggedness and attention to detail will finally payoff? I hope so. And, let us not have to wait too much longer.

Perhaps you will have to ask Alex for an increase in your pocket money. ;) I hope you have more luck in that regard than me. :(

FS, à lol from me too!

FriedmanS. Could you ask it how long will it be before SweetBiotix comes to market? ;)

Impressed that chatGPT has heard of SweetBiotix.

I thought the £1m cost of moving to AIM was an initial figure. Thought SOH said it would be cheaper 18 months (?) after IPO. And if I've remembered correctly, I would support a move to AIM. I don't have loads of spare cash but would happily top up eg monthly at these prices.

AS, thanks for follow up info. I hope "rapid" is truly that. And, as you said, the market ought to be getting excited. So SOH/US partner need to get the word out. As soon as they are able, vis getting through regs.

Another new position.

Q. If revenue is flat and price/margin has increased, I imagine that Dermatonic are selling less units? Does this matter? I am guessing not?

And being very pedantic. What do we understand by the word "accretive"? Gradual growth, one online dictionary says. In terms of M&A, one site says combined EPS after M&A should be higher than EPS (of SBTX) prior. Was SA using the term in either of these ways?

AS, thanks for sharing. You may be aware that SOH will respond direct to emails, if you wish to make direct contact.

Bk, not easy to say. Looking back at RNSs for a similar time of year. Last year nothing in Feb, previous year two updates in Feb.

Elrico, are you about to make a foray into the literary world?

Chased up Walbrook this am re Steen's proposed presentation on plans for 2024. Prompt reply but no date yet. I asked them to give him a nudge. :)

Loads - smiley face emoji.

Agree Analyzer, slow progress but ready to produce bulk sugar substitute then introduce SweetBiotix into Opti products. But some months from the "real" deals. Is it to early to say, "the shutters are coming up and Stephen's sweetshop is open for business"?

Extract from wordy RNS

"Given recent progress, the Company's focus has moved on from manufacturing scale up to engaging with commercial partners to launch products. Discussions are ongoing but are likely to involve a phased introduction of SweetBiotix® products as a direct bulk sugar substitute and then introduced into OptiBiotix's and partners consumer products across an increasing range of applications. With growing consumer and industry concerns over traditional sugars and sweeteners, the Company is in a strong position to exploit its low calorie, high fibre SweetBiotix® products as a safe, natural and healthy alternative to sugar and sugar substitutes."

Someone on SBTX reckons Tom W has recommended his followers sell SBTX and buy Opti. If this is true, could explain "noise".

Hope so? Due an update on Sweet?
