Nice professional interview.
I especially liked the talk of non-dilutive funding. Expect more annoucnements!

Ready for take off? :)

Chelsea, yes this should apply to Scancell, and one of their main expenses must be salary so this will help immensely.
I see no reason Scancell can't survive 12 - 24 months if it is careful. Other major planned expenditure was on the trials, if they are on hold, then so should be most of the expenditure. That combined with partial govt. salary covering should see us through.
That's why I think hibernation is sensible - burn as little as possible until it can be put to use on the trials. The trails results should raise the bar for the next round of fund-raising, or make us a massively attractive takeover target.

Pre-revenue companies like Scancell really need to go into hibernation mode during this crisis to preserve capital.
Hopefully they can continue their research as much as possible, but other costs should be curtailed.
This could well be what they are doing, but it would be nice to have an RNS to this effect.
Anyone know if any of the government coronavirus initiatives are relevant to Scancell - hopefully the government payment of 80% salary could be claimed so as to retain key technical staff through the crisis.
Scancell are unlikely to be massively effected by this crisis in the medium-long term, but they do need to survive the short term! If the worst come to worst and they need to raise funds before we are through the woods, there are friendly investors to hand - possibly Biontech, more from Vulpes? But they will want their pound of flesh still in terms of painful dilution or getting some of the company silver on the cheap.

For those of us who got and still have Calidus shares:

News released last Wednesday, but with Coronavirus, gold being a safe haven, weekend press, could see a boost on Monday?

Apologies if already posted, haven't looked back beyond Friday. I think it's new information.

Knowlesi, good to get a devils advocate view.
Nobody can predict the future, but a couple of points:
1) Interest rates are irrelevant - this is a supply side shock, nothing to do with demand, so stimulating via interest rate cuts would not help anyway.
2) Supply chains will not be irreparably broken. Things are not the fragile. Things may slow down due to isolation measures, possibly even stop completely in the worst affected areas, but the capital and labour are still there, and normal service will be resumed. Just because the worlds misinformed (economically speaking) journalists are turning this into a worldwide crisis doesn't mean it actually is.
Yes, it will have an impact, the world economy will be slowed by this, but it is not the end of the world, the world will bounce back, IMO.

It is fascinating though, how the planet is reacting. All the nonsense on social media in our post-truth economy. All the scaremongering and emotional reporting on the situation. All the interviews with people affected etc.. It paints such a distorted view of the 'real' situation.
(though what the real situation is and whether it is possbile to know it is a whole new subject).

Remember SARS, bird flu etc.. they had an impact, they didn't end the world. Lets check back in 3 months and see where the markets are.

My opinion, based (hopefully objectively) on available evidence is that the real crisis is climate change, and the entire world seems to have its head in the sand on that one!

Slightly off topic, but this is a cracking opportunity to pick up some cheap shares.
Shares like Lloyds, Glencore, which were cheap anyway have corrected with the market. Once coronavirus has blown over, we will still need mortgages and metals.
I don't mean to dismiss the virus and the impact it may have on those who are not healthy enough to fight it, but a) if it is reasonably contained the impact on the global economy will be neglible, b) if it isn't contained, what can we do? it will be out there like the numerous strains of the flu and the world will carry on as normal.
Markets are like toddlers, we are currently in full-on tantrum. It will turn on a sixpence, just like a toddler when she realises the tantrum isn't having the desired effect.

Fair enough Chesh. The following day is just because of the size though? The MM's have more time to report large transactions I believe? Not sure of the exact rules.
We will probably never know, but the fact it has no impact whatsoever on the share price suggests it some kind of book-keeping exercise or pre-planned transaction.

Can't possibly be directors at this stage, must be in a closed period as they have inside info on the signing od the production licence!

The 20 million is probably an ISA or SIPP transfer. Pretty common this time of year.
Basically, if you hold your shares outside an ISA or SIPP tax wrapper, you sell them then immediately buy back inside the ISA or SIPP. You have to do this because you can't legally just transfer the shares, you have to sell, transfer the cash (if required), then buy back inside. Your broker will handle it all for you - either they charge a fixed fee, or their is a slight difference in the buy and sell price and/or quantities so they get paid via margin.

tbh I had written off the SCIB1 trial, so fantastic news that it is still going ahead.
As somebody (sorry can't remember who) previously posted, results should come quite quickly in this trial once dosing begins, as patients are very ill to begin with.
Any hint that the SCIB1 addition improves the prognosis will bring a lot of attention and hopefully be reflected in the share price. As well as being amazing for the patients involved.

I just got some info from my SIPP provider (II), and there was a delay in receiving the paper statement from the registrar, so the depositing process with their International Custodian only started on 17th December.
ETA to completion is now end of January.
Not sure if this is an issue specific to II or will have affected all of you.

Let's see if my declaration has the same impact as Diggles... lol

Both SCLP and FFWD going strong the last week. Recently bought into FFWD so especially happy about this.

Hope you all have a magical christmas - the moon children and I shall be celebrating this year :)

Thanks, just figured this out as well. So the real SP has gone up over 10% since the distribution. Nice!

StevePI, thanks that makes sense, so:
Price fall yesterday due to people selling, thinking they already had CAI shares in the bag.
Price fall today due to MM's applying a discount on open ?

Very complicated. Just glad I didn't sell yesterday, though I was tempted when I saw the price fall was less than anticipated. Sorry for those who did, but the price seems very cheap today so maybe an opportunity to buy back and have a KRS-focused holding rather than the CAI shares?

Nope - I'm with II (Interactive Investor), and have had no communication about it whatsoever, but I'm not expecting any until next Tuesday at the earliest

had to pay a premium :(
