Morning everyone
If we take emotion out of the equation when we look at the statement then:
This reads as progress from a world leading technology company. You then look at the mcap and realise the issue.
The phrase outlined by BB, I would say this is implying there has been an increase in the revenue but they are not willing to disclose that until the interim results. The word genuine can be taken in two ways, they weren’t being genuine before or we need to start believing them and it will be validated at the interims.
The GAM trial update is confusing as we were led to believe already submitted for publication. However, if you read Mallettp’s comment you can understand the rationale. The phase 0 trial could increase the value of our data significantly.
Kirkstall, you can now see why aligned with IB as it focuses on glioblastoma on a chip.
Revenue and sales figures being absent. Yes they would have been good to try and illicit a positive increase in the share price but at a guess they are waiting to disclose this at the interims for a bigger impact and is more to do with the new MO.
Taking all this into account I would say it could all be read as a positive update. However, this doesn’t fit in with the special resolution. Why say we are making genuine progress and then shoot ourselves in the foot by reducing our nominal valuation. It can appear just as a way for some people to make a quick profit in the future contradicts the previous statement and creates more distrust. It will be interesting to see how many voted against it.
One thing I am glad of is I didn’t read was the board saying they are all shareholders as well. In reality that is not true. Only MS appears to own shares directly in the company, TB et al do not. They own shares directly in Truetide which is invested in several companies not just IBAI.
Just my take on things as normal. People can either wait and see what happens and hope for this to finally payoff or jump ship. I suggest people wait for the interims and see if genuine progress on revenue has been made. There can be no more excuses at that point.
Thanks
T
