Good investigative work Jay. Yet another good product from GDR and this is on sale now in the US. One day GDR’s research and development team are going to get Budd and GDR out of one big hole with the quality of their work and products. Just a question of when, rather than if.

Still hoping for news on Covid related sales in September as that will have been just over three months since gaining a CTDA here in the uk. If they haven’t sold any in that time I’ll start to think something is seriously wrong. GLA

Much appreciated Grim. And so we wait…

If no sales by end of this year then the sp will inevitably tumble from current holding pattern.

..that there has been nothing to suggest any attempt is being made to fast track the NICE assessment. It means basically Budd is perfectly happy to wait another 12 months for anything to happen with AIHL. We don't have to have that report in order to sell AIHL machines but with all NHS Trusts being stretched financially - 'twas ever thus though - they are under no compunction to adopt it until the NICE report says 'best practice'.

I'm afraid I do hold Budd responsible for GDR yet again finding itself badly positioned time wise. In my opinion he's pretty much already decided there will be another raise before he can commit the £2m needed to gain US approvals to sell AIHL. We could of course generate loads of income from the sale of Covid products which would cover that cost requirement but, oh, silly me, we have to sell the products to generate the income. Back to square one. Sorry but this CEO really is hopeless.

I do see the sp recovering but not beyond 50p so I guess I’m no.1

Budd has damaged investor confidence pretty badly so unless sales news was seriously good - and I don’t see how it can be or we would have been told of at least a handful of sales somewhere in the world - I think the best we can hope for in the next two years is 30p and that will be mostly based on AIHL being adopted throughout the NHS. This is clearly going to take far longer than I’d hoped and with that there is an increased danger someone else will come along with a better product and offer competition before GDR have even got themselves out of the starting blocks.

I’m hoping for some news in the autumn based purely on BUdd wanting his salary to be approved yet again. It will imo be another ‘sales have been challenging but we’re very excited about the future potential for bla bla bla…’ sp will see a surge, investors will worry that GDR might be on the brink of achieving something and removing Budd just at that point in time could be risky, so will vote to support him. Then back to silence until Sept 2023. As people can see, with every passing week with no news on anything my confidence wanes further.

I’m impressed by the people who can hold out hope for good things here in the face of evening evidence that the CEO is NOT achieving anything. Good luck to all what ever their averages and get-out strategies may be.

*sales not sakes!

What is unacceptable is Budd mentioning something happening within weeks. I can’t now remember what it was even, it’s been several months since his last communication to the market. I’m afraid this is what Budd does: surface for air and try to drop something that re-ignites interest and creates expectation and then disappear for months on end saying nothing until he either needs his salary to be reaffirmed or he is forced to admit that yet again sakes have been far more challenging than anticipated …bla bla bla.

There is one positive thing about the sp dropping - if you believe GDR will eventually enjoy success and significant revenue - and that’s it gives a great buying opportunity! If you believe the sp will one day hit 30p then 15p would give you an amazing profit. Talk of £1etc is cuckoo but come on, 30p from where we are now is definitely achievable with some sales and good news. My feeling, as already stated, is that we have a long wait for news or news of sales so sit tight and wait for the sp to drop and then grab as many as you can. In a year’s time I’m confident GDR will look like a very different company. Before that the only thing you can use as an opportunity is probably the next jam-tomorrow RNS from Budd when he needs 50% + to vote for his continued salary of £300k pa. Seems far too high for what he’s achieved to date and I’d be much happier as a long term holder of his salary was linked to sales success. A guarantee of £200k with a bonus of £100k if he reaches set targets. At the moment there is no incentive for him or the sales team to deliver what the company so badly needs. Another month of no sales? Never mind, here’s your pay check and see you next month for another one…

15p would represent an amazing opportunity and I think many would recognise that and so even if we did drop that low I really don’t think it would be there for very long at all!

Patience will be rewarded here.

Bad luck system. You're in for a long wait I suspect....

Why Q1 in 2023? NICE report will take about 13 - 15 months and there’s no sign of it being fast tracked so personally feel it’s more like Sept 2023 and then hopefully AiHL gets rolled out to all NHS Neo natal units with in 12 months after that. I actually we’re more likely to sell into other territories which aren’t quite so glacial with approval processes. News on AIHL sales anywhere though will be good news, when ever that may be.

£86k sold
£2k bought

Things looking good eh?

Oh no!! System, please don’t! This could go much lower over the summer and I’m afraid I don’t think we’ll have any news throughout August. Imo we have to wait until Sept or Oct for good news, possibly as late as Nov. I believe Budd will have to throw us a bone of sorts so that he gets his position and salary approved again for another year. If it turns out there haven’t been any sales then he’s going to have to put out some serious jam-tomorrow RNSs but he’s done it before and not been afraid to be economical with facts eg contract in Eastern Europe worth tens of millions… My money is still half on a buy out. 60 - 70p is my guess. I just don’t believe any company with these quality products could actually do so badly and have absolutely no news so I’m leaning towards news and information being withheld. Just an opinion.

Another two buys of mine at 2.14p shortly before the close both reported as sells. Gives a very distorted picture of what's going really going on. Not that there's massive buying but the sp should vaguely be going in the other direction imo. Never really understood how accurate reporting can be beyond the wit of man in this day and age but I guess it suits the hands of those pulling the market levers to allow chums and iis to make their profits, usually at the expense of pis. Daylight robbery?

My two buys at 9:35am marked down as sells.

No sales and no news and yet the same old sh.te on here every day. What do people have to post that can be of any interest when there's nothing to say ? Just gotta wait for the next news. Hopefully it will be regarding sales and also news of more NHS hospitals adopting the AIHL machines. Just my opinion but I think there's a much longer wait for all of this than many realise. Checking out for the summer, unless that little red dot appears :)

I wonder just how delayed those two large trades are today? they're awfully large sells compared with the handful of other trades atm. More roll overs or just plain and simple selling now taking place? Have to say I was enjoying the slow and steady rise from the recent placing but perhaps we are going to have to wait for longer than hoped for news of sales and revenue. there is the AGM to be dealt with too on Aug 5th and I really hope there aren't going to be any nasty shocks in any motions for that.

Not sure about that but always possible. Impossible at the moment to value VDTK because it has no meaningful numbers in place to date. To me it's just the high probability of going from pretty much zero sales to enormous contracts that is generating interest. VDTK isn't high profile and is largely going under the radar....for now. If it ends up making it onto the LSE risers board you can bet things will start to get lively - the only downside to that is that you'll get your dat traders in and out. At least they will help generate volume which will see the sp generally go up a few notches.

Many thanks. Am feeling quietly positive.

No way can a rise like this be sustained on no news. Nothing due here for months, despite what idiotic posters will tell you. Even with Covid raging once more Budd can’t sell any of his products. Obviously he chose really excellent distributors!

It’s a long patient wait for news on AIHL and if we aren’t fast tracked then the NICE rubber stamp of approval will be at 15 - 18 months off.

Realistically how long before news of a sales contract could be announced? And I’m not talking about the one mentioned by VDTK themselves in the recent RNS, I mean a contract put in place by either PROTAN or Bradclad…one that will have meaningful numbers behind it.

Why beech? Why do you do it?

Might not be the most exciting news but…maybe we’re going to be told NICE will fast track AIHL. Just a musing on my part. That, plus the resurgence of Covid, would mean GDR is once again worth more than a little punt!

It’s holding…for now
