So very sensibly Ryanair & Easyjet will still require face masks to be worn and no doubt a significant testing policy will follow soon!

This will also open up the market for home testing through Medusa19 as I would certainly want to know I and the rest of the family tested negative before arriving excited at the airport and then being told you can't go on your holiday.

On a separate point it makes a change to come across a thread that is relevant to the investment in Avacta as opposed to most of the other rubbish.

Had to listen to the business update again to remind me of what is actually going on from the horses mouth as this BB has become a dangerous distraction.

It is true that the expectations of 12 months ago have been missed and the frustrations discussed here are valid and understandable. If you take the claims in the business update at face value we will get the expected 5m/m LFT sales both direct and through distributors. There is also the possibility of a home test through Medusa19 and maybe a government deal providing a further 25m/m. There are also discussions overseas with potential capacity of 25m/m. Finally, at the end of the year positive AVA6000 results from first in human trials could provide a significant boost to the share price.

So for me it's really simple, best to ignore the noise here and give AS 6 months based on his latest update. If then it proves to be all false promises I'll accept my decision as it was based on facts from the Company instead of some of the made up stories here.

Makes it even more remarkable that innova were able to CE mark a covid test in March 2020. What collaborations they had in place would be interesting to know....probably with a Wuhan based laboratory!

So much of the Innova story was published in Feb not only in the above article but also the national press. It's still a mystery as to what has happened to the Government's desire to source more tests from the UK but it has to be linked to the additional 25m per month UK manufacturing capacity that Avacta mention many times but as yet has not been assigned to any product.

The Innova story may well become a future scandal but hopefully in the meantime Avacta will sell it's 5m per month UK capacity, become the Sovereign test and tie up the addition 25m per month Government funded capacity and also need to ramp up it's 25m overseas capacity.

If you look at the distributor section of their website they have companies that operate in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Canada. So it's a good start but no doubt will be followed up with further deals to cover other regions. It will be interesting to hear the presentation today to see if any details on manufacturing capacity are provided as that will provide real evidence on what future orders are expected.

Yes sleepydave I'd agree it looks like AS has had some difficult people to deal with. In any case I'm staying on this rollercoaster for a good while yet just never know what is round the corner but when the ride is over I'm sure the SP will be exhilarating

I would expect an RNS to clarify whether the Avacta test is involved in this dispute given the ties with Mologic

Newlands are still showing a holding of 6.5% which is either a mistake or they have cleverly bought back their shares cheaper. Probably a mistake though as no rns was issued to say they had gone back over 3%.

The new website product page doesn't include the link to the government website to order free tests that was there the other day. Perhaps the fact you are getting innova tests at present is the reason or that a new link will be added to order avacta tests when available.....hopefully tomorrow but good news to see the updated website reinstated.

Although the outlook is still very positive unfortunately the statement of "potential orders exceed capacity" is part of the reason for poor sp performance along with market sentiment at the moment. The potential needs to be turned into reality for the sp to head towards the 20's. I was disappointed with that line after the announcement that the new lines were fully operational thinking that they must have supporting orders for full capacity. So hopefully soon we'll get news of definite orders as the IoT space is really starting to gain momentum......just need even more patience!

Around 6.5m more shares bought than sold today and looking at some other shares including covid stocks there is no where near this differential. The size of these purchases are fairly large as well. I can't believe the MM's stock piled these shares to sell in anticipation of the weekend's leaked news so they're going to have to come from somewhere. Maybe they'll get some in the next few days at a lot higher price if the update is as positive as we hope.

The problem with AIM is that the share price always seems to move in the opposite direction to investor sentiment. I should of sold the lot at 18p when the story was great, bought the lot back at 2p when cpx were going bust then sold out again once the newlands sold out on the back of this great murata news and finally buy a euro lottery with the winning numbers that were made public knowledge the week before the draw.....it never happens like that.

However, this company is definitely going through a transformational period...short term the share price will go wherever but long term expectations are that 20p is in sight and some have even greater expectations based on potential news.

It's all a gamble, the odds here look like they have reduced, there will always be better time framed opportunities out there but as they say dyor and wherever you invest give it time unless you're a trader like most on these bb's and good luck either way if you're making money.

If you look back historically at this share it will not make for pleasant reading.......lots of promises and nothing delivered.
Out of the blue this murata deal came along, IP infringement cases were won and the IoT and green energy sectors seem to be gathering momentum. The Maxwell case now they are owned by Tesla carries its own significance that if successful will reflect in the share price accordingly.
The main thing now is that cpx delivered the murata project successfully in what were difficult circumstances and if as we believe have secured ex murata customers and added new ones to fill production capacity, we know what the numbers will be.
But because of AIMs apparent corruptness this share will never move in logical ways. That's why as I've said before I've just accumulated and waiting patiently long term for the price to fairly reflect true value once we have confirmation of the numbers.
Why other shares like itm for example have gone on a rocket fuelled journey is a mystery and it would be great if that happened here.
Of course the expected rise in share price may never happen for whatever reason and I think it's fair to say that if it doesn't happen this time many lth's may give it up. Perhaps the mm's know this and will play the game accordingly as it's all a mystery but unlike some companies cpx have real IP, products, manufacturing and customers.....just need the hype as sometimes that's all the really matters.

Some interesting comments about when people will sell and fair enough grumbles about today's sp fluctuations.
I also felt like a good moan and didn't buy any today but as already stated bought lots on the way down from 18p to 3p and do not trade due to AIM's irrational sp movements. Infact the reason I've ended up with so many shares is that like some here I bought on the back of good news only to see the price fall and was that p*ssed off with the mm kept buying as the price dropped thinking the b@stards won't beat me.
I've seen this sp manipulation all over AIM and also seen some real cr@p companies with bullsh*tting CEOs that basically robbed investors blind that thankfully I've avoided. Like everyone you also hear of other companies sp gains that if I'd of put my cpx investment into would be worth £m's but who does that. Maybe cpx will become one of those companies as I now have a substantial holding achieved through a staged buying regime as the price dropped that over a number of years patiently holding has resulted in a healthy profit at today's sp. I'm really happy and relaxed to be holding here now as the story becomes reality unlike some of the nightmare scare stories out there. This company is now delivering and as we get more confirmation of the progress being made will only increase investor confidence.
I'm still expecting a sp in the 20's and maybe the 30's with some bonus news but if we get the hype then anything crazy is possible. Not sure I would hold until then though as 30p would be very tempting for me to off load.
There's no advice intended here but this is how it's panned out for me here whereas I have other investments where I've bought on the way up but because the story has not yet turned into reality I'm sitting on large losses but patiently waiting and if I had the funds would buy more there also as if like here the company is genuine it will in time eventually come good.....you just never know when!

I hope that when the courts decide a settlement figure for the maxwell/tesla court case they consider tesla's recent purchase of $1.5b worth of bitcoin with no intrinsic value whatsoever.
Some valuations out there defy reality and that includes real assets such as itm power already mentioned here.
I always thought 20p was as fair reflection for cpx but when you consider the above valuations and with todays exceptional news perhaps that 50 or 60p share price is still a drop in the ocean to some.

If you listen to todays Directors talk interview AS says GAD are already in a position to manufacture Avacta's spike antigen test so I assume some sort of agreement was in place with them before this announcement.

If we get confirmed orders for the full manufacturing capacity a share price in the 20's wouldn't be unreasonable but to get into the 60's I think we will need more news. Maybe the Maxwell court case will do it or some of these new IoT applications that we're now seeing using cpx prizmacap will provide the demand for shares. Whatever it is things are looking so positive at the moment it's going to get busy here in a few weeks time.

This looks like very positive news full production surely must mean lots of orders to fulfil. Surprised we haven't had a rns to confirm this as it will be the start of significant revenues. Hopefully some positive news soon.

I think the DiaMedCare agreement will provide the finance for production of subsequent orders and agree that after all these years of being invested here now is not the time to look elsewhere. It takes time to really understand the true picture of what stage a company is at as many Aim companies are claiming great things but you have to be extremely lucky to time a new investment just right. Funnily enough in the next few months you could argue that this is as good a time as any over the last 5 or so years to invest here....as long as this machine is finally assembled and working!

One bus will arrive soon, one will be here mid summer and not sure about the 3rd but definitely before xmas!
