Take your point on ramping but hardly seems possible at the moment. Hoping the truly good companies come through this period with better outcomes next year.

For some perspective regarding dilution take a look at ygen which highlights how difficult it is to raise funds in this market. Makes the fund raising here look not too bad and hopefully avo can raise more without giving away too much.

How strange I didn't even notice perhaps because I'm also invested in avacta and funnily enough have been in avo since around 2014. You're not in cpx as well by any chance.
All 3 appear to be on the cusp of greatness after years in the doldrums but you wouldn't think so by the current sp. I've maintained a lth approach and accumulated over the years patience is beginning to wear thin but maybe next year who knows. Unbelievable what is happening here when you see what they have built and all the science behind it if it truly works as explained with the potential of single flash treatments it's futuristic star trek stuff. 2 to £300m wouldn't be unrealistic a valuation in its current state by comparison to some of the rubbish on aim but this current market is brutal across the board with most companies suffering. If this really does what they say it will shine through and not fade away like some of the no hopers are doing at present.

Good luck max you'd have to think that average would work out well. Mine is a bit more but I'm still hopeful whatever the outcome here I'll see some sort of return. The recent large institutional investments would lead you to believe that some sort of due diligence was carried out to have highlighted a positive near term outcome. A reassuring update wouldn't be amiss but I believe without news of a good funding deal, orders and accreditation progress the market is not going to buy this. Maybe a takeover deal will be the only option, something I had thought was inevitable but swayed in my opinion with the news of 230MeV & confirmation of their plans to achieve commercialisation. They really need to be manufacturing the Harley St machine so it can be installed and made ready as soon as possible following completion of accreditation. More funding is required either through a takeover or equity raise and further dilution but the 25p warrants are becoming a concern. Fingers crossed time now!

Well I was certainly expecting the existing letters of intent and additional new contracts to be formally signed as firm orders before year end. Was expecting the run up to accreditation to be dominated with good news and feel like a victory parade but this is not beginning to look like Christmas...where is Santa!

Thanks and yes expecting positive news especially confirming that end of year forecast to be achieved and further progress with the new products and markets. Hopefully cpx will be a success story in a very turbulent market

This is one seriously undervalued company that is going to have to prove itself with the numbers around February in the half year report. Only slight concern is that they have already said this years numbers will be H2 loaded so hopefully some carefully chosen words are used to clarify the situation. They'll be well into Q3 by then so should have a good view on orders right up to the end of the year

It does feel that way but as I've said the long term major shareholders including Odey Asset Management will not prevent funds being made available to complete this last phase taking it to human trials. If you can get your average down to anywhere near 25p you'll probably be ok. I'll need a bit more than that so hoping for a bit of commercial progress a well

Some relatable sensible comments StarBright. This is looking extremely positive & it's great to have dates when news will be provided and then we will see the market reaction. At least it will put an end to much of the unnecessary debate here but as you say it may not be that simple as if it ever is but for many good reasons let's hope this advances how we hope & expect!

Best just to wait for updates, 230MeV is still a great achievement. The accreditation and patient treatment stages are crucial steps in the commercialisation process. Unfortunately these are a few months away and as we well know funding is required. The markets are dire and things appear bleak at present but this can quickly change. You may be correct and the sp drops further but this is backed by some loyal long term investors who I believe will ensure it succeeds and hopefully the sp will then follow.

Have to agree with you there Cornish however if sales are reported inline with brokers forecasts for half yearly & end of year reports then these announcements must be resulting in orders. No doubt we'd probably maintain a more consistent sp with regular news of deals with values attached but achieving end of year targets should also get the sp to where we think it should be. Markets are on a downwards spiral at the moment we'll just have to wait and see if cpx can break out of it with good results if not what else are you supposed to invest in all the pipedreams are going bust this is a real money making business so I'm staying put.

Yes the financial situation is a concern but only in that it may result in huge dilution to existing shareholders. I don't think there is anyway this technology will now be left on the shelf and will get to market one way or another. It's just difficult to see without funds from orders how they can get to complete the accreditation process without further equity raises and at 200% 25p warrants that's alot of shares.
It appears funds are available when needed which is good in itself but in this present climate they can drive exceptionally hard deals. The requirement to continually raise money has been a consistent theme here for many years and the management have so far been able to navigate a way through this so I don't see them failing at this final hurdle it's just at what cost. I've been able to average down and if I'd kept funds back I'd be doing it again at these low levels but unfortunately I'm heavily in this now so will just have to wait for the good news and hopefully subsequent increase in sp.

Not sure what to make of this RNS as Tony P provided a link to this product on the cpx website last Friday that didn't generate this level of interest and the video link from claretjay is about 3v capacitors to replace coin cells yet this rns is about 5.5v products.
Still great to hear about new product markets and more potential sales. Half year results will hopefully confirm the positive impact all this is having on sales.

It would be great if they were building other machines especially for Harley St but can't see it due to financial constraints. Whilst I do think we will end up with further dilution I'm not sure how far they will go considering how much board members have personally invested. Somehow they need to magic up substantial funds and commence parallel activities of manufacturing and accreditation progression. Converting the existing potential orders into secure contracts will be a good starting point. They really need to give the market some positive news as this rock bottom sp is not going to help them commercialise this technology.

Agreed the warrants are a slight concern but more so are these relatively small monthly raises. A longer term strategic approach must be adopted especially with first patient treatment not until H2 2023. I'm hoping they have something being arranged imminently and these monthly arrangements are just to infill until all is sorted. Cash from orders would be ideal and might be what is forthcoming hopefully some good news will arrive soon. Strange to get to such a technological milestone yet financially appear to be as weak as they have ever been. Maybe FDA approval will come soon and a US listing of shares to bolster up the finances who knows but unfortunately us lth's look like further dilution is inevitable.

Having to give 200% in warrants now which is not surprising considering the dire state of the markets. No sign of cash from orders arriving if things don't progress quickly the vultures will be circling around to pick up a bargain. Funds are going to have to come from somewhere to get to full commercial roll-out hopefully in a way that's not too damaging to existing shareholders. Like many here very surprised to the reaction of achieving 230MeV but I guess the harsh reality is that commercial viability is required to get the sp moving.

I'd hope that the auditor's would only allow the debt to be settled with the equivalent number of shares valued at 25p each and not an increased number of shares to reflect the actual market value of around 17p each.
This news is a bit of a non event anyhow and what we really need is news of orders and continued progress towards accreditation.

Not quite sure what you mean with the below comment unless you meant 'hasn't changed'. SP is rising anyhow so looking good whatever you mean.

If the recent malaise was because the Newlands were allegedly selling why has the CPX web site changed (2.9%) ?

Just watched the investor day presentation.

Amazing technology flash is like rocket science and the potential treatment of other non cancer conditions is incredible. Takes time to digest the potential but really important to understand how the technology has facilitated an innovative finance agreement that should really help speed the take up of these systems. This type of finance is not available to cyclotron machines but the modularity and transportability of Light puts it in a unique position where large initial capital outlays are not required and avo will benefit from years of future treatment and service revenues.

I know we've been saying it for 6 or 7 years now but I really think this time they will deliver on the numbers such that the rise in sp will be sustained and probably exceed previous highs. I just have a feeling you might be kicking yourself if you sell up at around 14p. The market makers will be able to have fun with this when the good news arrives with those not selling at 14p panick selling at 8p then cursing as rises up towards 20p. Anyway I'm off loading some at around 20p then holding the rest for 57p innit!
