whilst i understand the it can be a little tedious and irritating to some to see a constant repetition of information already in the public domain in RNSs etc i do think some of the negative posts today warrant a brief highlighting of the positive aspects of fridays RNS namely "equitec has a number of significant near term opportunities and has therefore agreed to amend the loan facility to allow the company to focus resources on delivering projects within the pipeline in the near future" and as per ian prices comments "eqtec currently finds itself presented with significant contract opportunities which they wish to capitalise on". Now these statements are not the same as announcing significant completed contracts but they are extremely positive statements as to the companys prospects and immediate intentions.the repeated references to "near term" and " near future" and the description of "significant opportunities" cannot really be construed as anything other than extremely encouraging and confirmatory statements of the developments which many of us are expecting to hear about very shortly.aimo

oh dear.i really must stop setting you up for these!

afternoon bignose.iguess well just have to see how it pans out over next few weeks but even though we may not get any really substantive new re USA and china this year (fingers crossed for china if we are lucky) i still get the feeling that 2019 is going to be a seminal year for RPG as setting the direction for travel . Hopefully upwards!

ok had a look back at last year and see profit warning on 26th jan,final results on 23rd march and notification of first receipt from recordati etc on the same date.presumably something similar this year i imagine.

close trader my shares in eqtec are held on an HL platform and as soon as the first RNS came out i received a secure message by email from HL advising me of matters and warning that if delisted the shares would no longer be eligible for inclusion in an ISA.i was momentarily disconcerted but quickly realised that this was not an EQTEC specific warning as such but merely a generic notification no doubt issued to discharge regulatory requirements and to absolve HL from any responsibility should a delisting actually occur.If you try and deal in equtec on hl you get a similar warning.i have no doubt that this is just a generic warning which you have to evaluate in the light of the actual circumstances surrounding the need for a new nomad.So far as i am concerned the appointment is as near certain as it can be particularly now following the new loan terms announced yesterday for all the reasons given by other posters.obviously investors must assess matters personally but the fact that you have not had similar notices before is i suggest of no significance and perhaps reflects nothing more than a change in regulations or the individual brokers practice in applying them etc.whilst not strictly relevant i have a holding in a small company on the hong kong exchange and every formal communication regarding it is accompanied by a warning in the direst possible terms exhorting investors to exercise extreme caution etc.i view the hl and similar notifications as an example of the same type of self preservation "safeguarding my back" approach which brokers etc no doubt have to adopt in todays"blame" culture.All this it just my opinion of course

ok bignose thanks.that makes sense.i may have a look back at what happened last year when i get a minute as I'm finding my memory of events is not that reliable unfortunately.

afternoon bignose.i agree that the involvement of fosun gives us at least some hope that we may get expedited china approval but like you I'm not holding my breath.presumably we should be getting some announcements re initial licence payments any time now which may help s/p a little although presumably already largely factored in.

morning Markshares.i certainly wouldn't disagree with your view of the significance of the additional finance.i was looking at it really in terms of what was at one point think a 40% rise which i felt personally was a little rich but i certainly agree that it demonstrates a high level of confidence which is exactly what we want to see.i also expect news of the first contract/contracts fairly soon although probably not before the new nomad is appointed.just my opinion of course.

interesting and encouraging post sheltie.thank you.

thanks for the kind remarks.i cannot take credit where it is not due as i am not italian.there is a story and explanation for the choice of handle but not one I'm afraid can share on the board.hoping for a good and sensible week to come.

good point inner harmony.apologies for the poor typing its not my strong point.no excuses though as I'm not exactly a spring chicken myself(more a supperannuated capon actually) so should know better! cheers

interesting day today on what is probably the worst bb on aim.the risible nature of the majority of posts is surpassed only by their cynical disregard for truth and accuracy.the ludicrous ramping of the majority of posters this morning is now being challenged in the competition for most vacuous poster of the year award by the determined deramping of one or two posters this afternoon and this evening.it really does beggar belief! unfortunately the almost demented posts of most of the contributors today has had the effect of obscuring and detracting from what has been a very positive RNS today and has probably led in part to the modest retrace from the days highs which i think would have been largely retained but for the fatuous pontificating of the ramping crew.primarily i think the major impact of the RNS was in finally laying to rest concerns over the new nomad.still not 100%certain of course but as close i think as we can get short of an RNS confirming appointment.aimo.Secondly whilst accepting the there are different possible interpretations to the loan revisions i am inclined to the view that it is positive sign indicating potentially exciting news of the contracts which are clearly necessary for the next serious uplift in the s/p.i have previously been sceptical of the s/p targets of 2p plus being put forward in the near term but having seen todays reaction to fairly low key news i think i have been underestimating the potential impact which actual substantive contract news would have.i suspect this is in part a function of the fact that the majority of shares are not in ordinary pi hands which has a gearing impact on any news.if we get contract news and i am expecting we will in due course then i can actually see a sp of 2p plus and maybe even 3p.whether such rises would hold is another question but given our lowly m/c i think they could.if only we could have a more realistic restrained and balanced board it would imo be much more positive for the sp in the long term.i have absolutely no doubt that the calculating rampers will be back on monday but i just hope that people reading the board will accord them the attention and credence which they deserve i.e. absolutely none.apologies for what may seem to be self righteous and sententious posturing on my part but for a lession in the damage that naive and misled investors can suffer i suggest the amigos et al read some of the posts on flybe this morning some of which are genuinely heartbreaking.We are all here to make money but even that less than laudable aim should have some moral compass to direct it.

starting to look like a strong close.

yes ebioss owns about 38%.havent checked the exact percentage today so quoting from memory

this is starting to look very solid indeed.indicative of confidence in the likely outcome of FDA approval .the terms of the licence/.partnership agreement which hopefully will follow very shortly thereafter will determine the strength of the rise thereafter.aimo

dougie thats the question i am sure we are all asking.i am not really expecting a great deal of positive impact from the UK launch due we are told is due this month nor am i expecting a massive impact from the publicity campaign which we have also been told will be taking place although i hope it will give a modest boost.as i have previously posted i personally think we are in an incremental phase which is going be sales dependent.each bit of news or development should help to add to the sp improvement(i accept this has not happened so far but i think the effect should be cumulative over a period of time)provided we get at least reasonable news of sales figures.i don't see the US aspect as having any impact for a long time unless we were to get very encouraging sales figures at some point which would then focus investors attention on the potential US market and as i don't see really positive sales figures any time soon i am not ascribing any great value to the us connection at the moment am not entirely pessimistic however as i feel that in view of our very modest m/c we don't need hugely impressive sales figures to justify a reasonable sp increase in advance of any substantive US developments.whether we will get the necessary sales figures and when are questions no one can really answer I'm afraid. just my opinion

helpful post ivy thank you.

hadn't seen the second print.one is a delayed trade and the other is an ordinary trade although could be a buy or sell.doesnt seem to have had any adverse effect on s/p.probably not significant in the overall scheme of things although very much larger than most of the trades in recent days.

thoughts anyone on 415000 trade just reported?

of the last 68 trades since 16.14 yesterday there is only one indicative sell.is this a record?
