Thanks WTP - couldn't see a date ? Has it just appeared ? ATB

Fish - what is it that you don't understand about this ?

"The Company's auditor, BDO LLP, has requested additional time to complete their standard audit due to unforeseen circumstances impacting the audit engagement team. Scancell's Board has been advised that the audit is substantially complete and has not been advised of any material audit issues."

Note : "unforeseen circumstances impacting the audit engagement team"

Violin - "I hope a resolution is put forward at the AGM to change the auditors. Totally unacceptable failing to meet a second deadline. The tail is now wagging the dog and once again Scancell is tarnished with delays...delays...and delays whether in their control or not."

We all have the greatest of respect for you Violin with your work during the hard times gone (hopefully), but really, this is rubbish. THIS tail is not part of the dog, just a checker. As I said - it's the real world - relax !

With respect this is not your field and you don't understand - in my time I have appointed Auditors and changed Auditors too - but really - take a pill please.

GF - surprised to see you displaying reservations. GLA

Violin my happiness has little to do with it - this is the real world. Of course the double delay is regrettable. Hopefully whatever the problem is it will soon be sorted. Bear in mind, it's good for a small Company such as Scancell to have these Guys around https://www.bdo.co.uk/en-gb/home

Your demand for immediate action from the BoD looks a bit testy ! ATB

Sorry Violin - I think the answer to those 2 propositions is rubbish and rubbish.

On this, I agree with 2CV earlier - "No reference to the Investor Meet presentation. Presumably that will be delayed too".

Wait on . . . .

Thanks Ciaskin - that's helpful for context but for me anyway, no worries!

GF - this is whats going on - "due to unforeseen circumstances impacting the audit engagement team. Scancell's Board has been advised that the audit is substantially complete and has not been advised of any material audit issues."

There it is - pure and simple - no material issues. ATB

Thanks Ruck that's helpful.

WF - indeed 'nothing untoward'. Or maybe better.

GLA

WF - if there is no new data it would nevertheless be interesting to hear CEO's interpretation of what we have, 'down the line' as such. Will we have to wait until the Investor Presentation on the 24th to get some detail ? Or will there be a digest from WVC or Scancell ?

An RNS today would be nice as always . . . .

Hi Cloggs. Well yes but its a great thing for our CEO to be addressing the World Vaccine Congress and also we have a new Business Development Officer, Dr Mandeep Sehmi https://www.lse.co.uk/rns/SCLP/scancell-appoints-head-of-business-development-gywpokx61ag8os8.html

Scancell's coms have already picked up since his arrival and I was half expecting this RNS or similar this week. Good to see. ATB

Thanks CW - Texas BioMed indeed.

Hope you are feeling better C11 !

I agree - Covidity might still have a chance and not least, Texas BioTech are working with it as we know. Time will tell . . . . .

Re. your 'not me Guv' 13.28.

MMMmmm. I've heard some stories in my time but that beats all. No wave to ride so you try to make one. Hope you and yours are doing OK.

And as for all the signalling about the long ago discussion from MM - I myself was delighted to hear about it, given the quiet from the Company. And why not? Unabashed on that front. And good luck to all the Patients.

I haven't seen it RR but I think the data set has moved on since then. Hoping for more updates in October !!

C11 sorry to hear that. GWS !!! (that's for sure).

Dracula - I'm guessing the 'scab' was for the TB vax in the left arm.

LLass - re. the Covid vax, some suspicion tbc, that Pfizer vax manufacturing processes were slightly changed after the 'batch' that gained approval for widespread deployment. Waiting for Peer review on that . . . . ?

Back to Scancell - lots coming before the month end BUT an RNS can drop anytime - GLA

Chuckle of the day for me - C11 10.41

"Sorry for anyone whose knees were pumping that hard, they spilt coffee all over the dog."

Post rec . . .

WTP re. your 11.50, quite natural that CFO Sath will be there with CEO as it's the day that the 'Final Results' are announced - he'll be able to help CEO with any financial questions. ATB

The RNS explains clearly enough - "the Group's auditor, BDO LLP, has requested more time to complete their standard audit. As a result, the Company will now announce its results on 24 October 2023". That's it !

Dracula 08.52 - no, anything to do with a 'Sale/Partner' will be announced in it's own right as and when it occurs, (so no 'maybe' about it IMO).

I agree with EE, it's quite possible that someone has been affected by current events or even the progress has been interrupted by seasonal 'flu !

Violin 08.38 - "Absolutely disgraceful from the auditors. I hope that they get fired". That's an over-reaction somewhat - I'd be very surprised if that happened.

As Bermuda said 08.21 - "it's tempting to imagine all sorts of reasons for this delay". Let's resist the temptation.

I see BDO are in Gresham St, that's familiar . . . . GLA

Konnicchiwa CW - well spotted ! Word getting around then !

"On September 19, 2023, Scan(ce)ll Holdings, a British company developing new immunotherapies for cancer and infectious diseases, announced its DNA plasmid cancer vaccine SCIB1 and checkpoint inhibitor Opdivo (nivolumab). +The company announced that it achieved an objective response rate (ORR) of 82% in the first phase of the Phase 2 SCOPE study, which combined the two drugs Yervoy (ipilimumab) in patients with advanced melanoma. According to the company, the ORR of two checkpoint inhibitors in patients with advanced melanoma has been reported to be 50%"

Thanks heavens for G translate. ATB

A return to subject over there (PoG), at last . . . .

Last (6644) of a sequence from Inan - " . . . . which one has failed - Scib1 - or - Checkpoint, because that sets the scene of where we are today ....

That SCIB1 astonishing data .... creates a Commercial opportunity that would be extremely difficult to improve upon. I am absolutely positive that MRNA will not come close even with a very expensive personal vaccine. It does not have the tight control over the dendritic cells that govern how t cells are activated

Only Scancell do it this way - so if you have spent £millions in search of a target .... and you find one - would you use MRNA to deliver ? or slot it into an Immunobody."

. . . . . apols for caps and puncs added !
