The government clearly stated they will grow the UK diagnostic industry. They've wasted enough money without doing this on a not for profit basis. I suggest the person who set this one running is a turnip.

Selfish post by pumpky. The issue here is avoiding spreading it to others more at risk. That message hasn’t got through to many cretins.

Sorry you missed out guys. The early bird gets the worm.

"They are very happy to subscribe to shares at ten"

Yes, though it's also true that Omega were very happy to give them shares at ten. How can you blame Oryx for that? I agree it could be a stitch up between the two board of directors.

Second on the daily leaderboard to Motif Bio which trebled on no news lol

Will prove invaluable. Their successful development of the Visitect CD4 Point Of Care test for HIV sufferers proved they are up to this task set by the Goverment. They had to clear numerous hurdles including shifting of the test sensitivity goalposts by WHO and overcoming technical issues. A good team to have on our side.

They've put out their results after hours. Looks a poor company to me and as they state the performance of their sales team lags competitors. Given the way they write their reports I doubt if the sales team know what they're supposed to be doing. It seems they write their reports in code as they're not easy to decipher. I've scanned through the report and can't find any mention of Omega Diagnostics or the Allersys meetings they've been having. There is one veiled reference to discussions with partners. Not impressed with this crew at all and it's no wonder our contract negotiations are interminable.

I've just read about Immunodiagnostic losing another chief executive. I suppose that will cause yet more delays to the discussions Omega are having with them and is probably what they meant when they said the short term was dominated by factors outside their control.

You left the Allersys agreement out of your summary. We've waited a long time for the deal and from the wording and their positive meetings they've finally agreed on commercial terms, just the global distribution aspects to sort out. I'm very happy about that and well done to ODX for their perseverance. Another announcement we can look forward to.

The company hasn't said there is an imminent trading update. Maybe there is one due, as last year, or maybe they're waiting until the IDH deal is signed.

I'd better put mine in a trust fund!

They won't be selling it yet as they'll get CE mark first. They're very confident about the trials though.

I wouldn't leave it too long. With the Pune factory currently operating at 10% of capacity just think of the operational gearing when Visitect CD4 is running full steam ahead.

Omerta, if lack of communication bothers you, why not speak to the board about it?

Dibs it was only a paper profit and if you were that bothered you'd have taken the profit but like the rest of us you're holding for better times. We have to accept the placing price, annoying as it may be, and we can even take advantage of it. That's what I've been doing. Plenty of folk thought it was good value at prices higher than this.

Did it include Monday's news that Image Scan's broker had downgraded the company from buy to hold with a price target of 5.2p?

Seems odd saying "I wonder how they are going to use it to shaft us" while purporting to hold the shares. Do you spend a lot of time with an orange in your mouth?

As if we didn't already know. After reading out all of his three week old state of the nation address instead of his opening of parliament speech MPs said the mistake had caused irreparable damage to both Mugabe and the country’s image internationally and demanded those responsible for the mix-up be relieved of their posts. Erm I think Mugabe has the responsibility for his error, though we should at least give him credit for still being able to read. Reminds me of Reagan going senile during his last term. Maybe they should replace the dozy wreck with a cardboard cutout and tape recorder.

Your liberal use of capitals makes you appear as a ranting lunatic. Instead of claiming all those unknowns, why not read the circular. £2.8m of the £3.5m is to be invested in the diamond mine. The motives of the Chinese are questioned but what about those of ranting posters spreading lies on bulletin boards?

Just to be clear, my argument with Gorsuch concerns his statement that the issue of 367m new shares does not add value. This is a bogus statement because the shares add cash which, if invested in the diamond mine which then turns a profit, will add value. What we then come down to is an opinion and I have no problem gorsuch's opinion other than that he tried to present it as fact.
