DeBull,

There are generally two reasons for a share consolidation,

!, if the Company needs to raise money and the SP is close or lower to the nominal value (a Company cannot raise at a price lower than the nominal value, so if that is the reality they will generally do a consolidation say 100-1, wipe out 99 shares and have one at 100 times the value of the previous SP to allow them to raise at a price above the nominal value.

2, If the Company feel more investor interest would be forthcoming, if the share moved away from being a penny share or even decimals of a penny share (the problem with this is if a share has been shorted down to a lowly valuation, a consolidation can sometimes give those same shorts more leeway to continue).

I don't believe either situation exists here and so see no reason (and wouldn't want one) to have a consolidation, what it needs is to see the market cap rise as more positive newsflow is forthcoming...

I have never held a share that has had a consolidation without the new share price dropping after the consolidation, it's like a kiss of death.

Trout.

Just took another top up here, as between the noise of several posters arguing the extremes with each other, I see a really good recovery play.

Managed to get sub 0.75p which was well below the sell price for the 1.1m earlier this morning, so cannot see many more shares being offered at this level (without more selling)....

Will keep an eye out for any more being offered tomorrow morning, setting us up for after the New Year celebrations...

Laura,

I have seen lots of things on the FAB board and one thing I remember very well was when you posted there after the grant RNS.

Both BBs don't need constant postings to try and garner more investors, let the Companies do that!

It would probably cut down on the many posts (spats) from those uber-positive and those uber-negative as well.

I will remain positive and patient on both Companies...

Laura,

He is playing you and every time you bite.

Chill out a bit, things will come when they do and then people will get on board here, in the meantime just let it play out, no amount of posts on a BB will make it happen any quicker.

"I thought that was a sell"

What at 0.04985p???

Bannsider,

The message is going out, they are attending far more trade conferences and the Investor Relations has been very good.

It's takes time and patience, as AK would say the best way of increasing the SP and giving shareholders a good return, is getting the business growing and moving forward. I reckon by the end of 2025 we will have seen many huge strides forward in that.

There are a few 'get rich quick' posters on the BBs at the moment, they will jump off as the SP moves up and they spot the next best thing,, the real appreciation will be long term, the FTI benefits, OptiMal validation and other developing platforms will bring us important newsflow, but probably in the second half of 2025. In the meantime I do see us going into double figures and finding a new range, the timing of big announcements is out of the Company's hands and could come at any time (but PIs are notoriously impatient and medical world is notoriously slow and rigorous in their deal making).

Laura,

When did you start posting on FAB?

No just woke up nursing a hangover and saw the first trade close to 0.75p, so thought I might get them at 0.75p later today, then saw the influx of sells and the price drop, I got most below 0.7p and then had a fill or kill declined for the rest and took the last lot at 0.736p, so managed to get another 132k on top...

I did, and having had a 1m fill or kill buy order at 0.75p declined last Thursday, have just made hay on that drop....

I find the period between Christmas and New Year a really good time to take advantage of subdued trading and the odd bargains, as MMs move the market about too much.

I agree the RNSs during this time are rare and go unnoticed, but the chance of newsflow early in the New Year can often see a share rise quite a bit....

You seem to be mirroring Goldfish DVH, you are trying to be more subtle, but are talking this up or down just like him. The reality is probably both of you are getting things wrong here and end up having to pivot to sound like you are right all the time. A little boring especially when you see the margins of the moves since the placing (+/- 10%) if you are lucky to get both ends of the trough/peak.

The MMs did very well yesterday they sold bundles to start, moved the spread so buys went through as sells, which attracted more sells and now bring it down to recoup all the extra stock they sold yesterday at much reduced prices today. This of course is helped by a small amount of fragile shareholders who become the puppets of the likes of you, Goldfish and Carrot.

When you look at the amount of shares traded each day compared with the amount in issue, you can see this moves disproportionately on a very small amount of trading. Yesterday's RNS will hopefully be the start of a string of updates which if they continue on the positive vein will see more people investing and the likes of Goldfish and yourself have to jump aboard or move on to talk down another stock.

This is a solid hold at the moment, any opportunities to buy lower will get bought, especially if we see movement during the quiet period between now and New Year. At one point the risk will flip onto the traders who will get caught the wrong side, yesterday's RNS and SP movement wasn't the one to catch them out (although it did catch out Goldfish lying again), but at one point an RNS will deliver a substantial interest and SP momentum.

If it can break through the 7.2 high from back in January, not only we will see 12 month highs but the flag pattern suggests a quick time jump to 10p (previous flagpole from 4p-7p).

Very exciting times and AK seems to be in control of the developments and wanting to share that with the market whenever he is able to...

They are both buys and now gives me a holding just over 1% .

The best bit is actually missing form those Q&A snippets, in the first question he answered, he stated that he had been asked by an Institutional Investor what the grant could actually be valued at, and he said they had worked out it would have taken the equivalent of a £6m fundraise, to get to the position the grant will put the Company in.....At £4m mkt cap at the time of the grant RNS that suggested the SP should be around 150% higher....

You still here?

He doesn't need to close a door, he needs to steer the ship and he is doing so, very well since the last fundraise early this year. You may not understand but this Company was really struggling, the markets dried up on them, they have had to re-assess and move forward with the funds they raised, they cut costs to the bone and re-appraised their markets , now spreading their opportunities into more diverse markets. They have made the difficult decisions and the results so far have been very positive, yet they still had to run a very lean ship. They can't just go employing people because you want them to. You also miss the point, their sales force are now able to talk very quickly with prospective clients about the science and really hone down on the client's needs, this isn't a case of needing someone to wine and dine someone to get a deal signed, this needs a little bit more acumen. The results this year of this new approach are encouraging, the new year and FMI involvement will bring many more strings to the bow and the Company will grow because of this.

My Daughter works for ....... Oh I only have Sons ;o)

He literally said they have a sales team who are doing far better than previously as they get down into the science with the client much earlier in the conversations, perhaps you'll find AK isn't a salesman, he is a CEO and at the moment doing very well here at FAB.

When AK pointed out that without the costs of this capital equipment (both to purchase and maintain), the Company could reduce their prices substantially to get more business, however he said he would rather see an increase in margin (the interviewer said as long as you win the business), AK had a wry smile, he had earlier mentioned they are after producing the best quality product, as that is what the client is after.

He did mention that a lot of Clients are watching their spend and so are putting in smaller chunks of what will be a larger contract (in effect taking small bites while the development moves on), this in turn means a lot of these are not RNSed as they aren't considered material but the overall contract can be much bigger when completed.

The FMI already has a building ready to go and FAB will be taking parts of the two floors for their work, the cash grant element is around £1m, but is subject to the drawdown conditions and could potentially be worth more.

The Equipment grant £5m will fund equipment that FAB would love to have (bigger, better and state of art), but would not be able to afford. This equipment would be there to be used by FAB, alongside all the other Companies involved, the FMI will own the equipment, but that means they will also pay the maintenance on the equipment.

On top of that there are other things on offer that FAB just hasn't got access to, in the way of Biobanks and Bioinformatics, these will now be available for FAB to use (including staff that with expertise in those fields), this will increase FAB's offerings.

The FMI is a collaborative grouping and they are encouraged to work together, leading to a greater critical mass, all FABs work and development will be their own IP and not anyone else's unless a contract to joint develop has been signed .

No point being commercial headeed, but can't make the right antibodies...
