Don't forget one of our biggest customers was Germany last year, it just so happens they and the rest of the continent are seeing huge figures and in the midst of a third wave. I'm sure we will continue with £36+ mill in revenues for at least Q2/3 outside the UK Gov. Oh how I'd take a £6.50 get out now

Have you ever seen something called.... the news ?

On a positive note £36 mil from outside UK Gov contracts. Huge numbers of cases on the continent and around the world, £144 mil potential for the year and that's prior to increases in demand given the third wave much of the world is experiencing.

Maybe I shouldn't have topped up at £7.60, ah well still a profit

If I were a travel industry I'd look into purchasing some versalabs and including the price of the tests in my ticket cost, economies of scale etc would suggest they could have a 48 hour pre flight test for £50, make money on that and still have a more affordable test for most. If Brianair can fly me to Berlin for £14 then I'm not going to complain at £64 test included.

It's nothing to do with cutting costs from our end, a single swab is what £10 at the most and Q16 £7k. Now explain why testing companies are charging £100 for a single test or £200 for the day 2 and 8 test. Another £100 for the day 5 early release, the issue isn't with the suppliers it's with the testing companies. Hopefully versalab will undercut the prices as I'm sure £50 is still profit making for all, I paid €60 for a pcr test in Germany so it's perfectly doable.

Department of Health & Social Care T&T have future engagement preliminary contracts uploaded to bidstats, I'm unsure whether this has already been posted but ties in nicely with our antibody test also coincidentally due to come out in Q2 2021. Feel free to tear this apart.

Hopefully that works ^.

@bowtie - I'm staying away from your cupboard, you never know what's in there.

@tkr - I don't mind camping actually, I bought a new tent last October though, still yet to.... erect it. I'm here all week ladies and gents

Oh I'd love a SP even around £25, these things just don't happen to me. The waiting game for this one is going to make me bald, at least I'll be able to afford a nice toupee if/when it does come through though

Well at least we have an idea of 7th May to look forward to, hopefully by then we are buoyed up towards £10 by our annual statement.

Even if we have 2/3rds of the orders we received in H2 20 we will still move, our margin is so high in comparison to most. Its just a horrible waiting game

I'd be happy if we didn't sell and mined the whole area ourselves.

But all of those thinking spend $8 mill and receive 90 bill SP rocket are deluded. What I make of the RNS is we have paid the money to have access to the area, it's state owned and we have just paid for pre planning permission. It's still great news clearly but I'm not expecting rockets and if anything this I think pushes a sale back by months.

My question is, if this values the assets at $90 billion why did we buy this for $8.8 mill with money already invested ?

For those selling on this spike remember, one in the hand is worth two in the Bush

I'm not sure how long I'll be able to hold out if we get £15+. We should be a lot higher but facts and figures haven't graced our RNS for this year, no doubt if we can get a year long or 18 month contract this should fly. £25 just seems so far away at the moment, I think I'll always leave a few K in just incase £54 does happen.

A nice rise on anticipation next week and into £9 will do us nicely for the step up.

Just you wait, I've got another 7k I want to lump in hopefully before close of play today if the funds are released in time, it's so frustrating to watch! Potentially 2 days to get into my bank though, so anytime after Tuesday fro the next rns is fine by me.

Personally I believe a weekly PCR test for all adults over a period of two months would be the start of the solution, provided they are taken correctly we would narrow down all who are positive and really drive the number down. Over that timeframe we should see very few numbers, the 5k a day we have now is extremely low too.

So would that include national travel too ? What do we do with all the hospitality and transport jobs that would be lost ? Its already going to be grandkids paying this debt off how much further down the line can we realistically go. I would argue for the sake of the few thousand lives we would lose after full vaccinations have been administered to the most at risk, including the over 65s, saving jobs, lives and livelihoods of hundreds of thousands is more important.

As I said previously, I know I am negative due to all the tests I've taken in order to travel. I am safer than someone who hasn't travelled. How many asymptomatic people are wandering the streets as we speak without a test result.

How do we get out of this then, if the whole of Europe was vaccinated there will still be positive cases just less people with life threatening effects from covid. We cannot continue with these restrictions for years. I don't think we will pay the price for travel, there are more than enough tests required at the moment to prove someone is negative, I have more faith in myself being negative than someone who has sat in the UK for the past 4 weeks without a single test. Surely we require national weekly testing for every individual to ensure we are on top of this when the vaccine has been administered to the majority.

Luckily I'm in Germany and not France, although their cases are increasing as they have relaxed lockdown too early.

@oriens I would expect around the £10-15 mark for a bulk order and dependant on the test. I think I see the Q16 was £5000 but may be wrong. Plenty of growth out there just need to get as many tenders bid for as we can.

@bluelight it is a personal choice, my son lives overseas and is only 4 so facetime doesn't really work when he runs off to play with his lego. I get all the requirements for testing but there needs to be more logic to it, a test prior to travel fine but if we are doing this then let's take the Dutch approach and have a LFT test at the departure point too. The 2 day arrival test is for sequencing if positive, fine I get that but I could be allowed out after 5 days and back in isolation at 8 if I were to test positive on that test. Let's just leave it at test prior to arrival, lft at departure and test on day 5 of isolation which is sequenced if positive. It is purely money driving the 5 day release test as anyone could be free at that point but due to money many won't pay for that test.

Not quite as simple and easy as that bluelight
