The bribery scandal surfaced in May 2017. The SFO investigation concluded October 2021.
In May 2017 the SP stood at £8.15: when it concluded it stood at about £1.80. It now stands at £0.72p.
"....but it's back on it's feet now"
Mmm-I must be missing something.

Tells all
Haven't done the maths on timing Sflf but have on finance. We have burned our way through £3.3 million in 12 months
and are looking at a loss of a similar amount for the year. Seems therefore that the much trumpeted new £5 million facility won't last as long as we might think. Could be that the rate of burn might slow now that initiation costs are out of the way though. Wait and see.
As always, jam tomorrow, in this case possibly at least another 18 months. As they say in luvvie land this one will run and run.
Now donning flak helmet.
So that their shorting chums in the Wine Bar can make even more money!
The whole system stinks and has done ever since "big bang" when whatever ethics the City had were thrown out of the window and the spivs took over.
Having said that who takes any notice of brokers' opinions!!
Carter 19,
May I refer you to the comment by Silverfoil this morning at 10.01 (with which I concur by the way)
"Seems strange that in spite of further patents being granted and 1801 now well into human trials and money in the Bank for another 18 months that all this progress still sees the price exactly where it was in April 2021! What price progress?"
Perhaps you would like to have a go at him/her for being "negative" (pragmatic) as well, or perhaps you realise that he/she has a point?
I post what I want to post, happily without having to ask your permission.
In my last post I can see no mention of the SP whatsoever but, notwithstanding, if you don't like what I post just ignore it and stop wasting your time making facetious comments.
Good points Potnak.
As I am confused about this latest gambit from the Board, I have written to IR this morning to request some explanation
AND to point out that many LTH's have supported this company through thick and thin and surely warrant being kept up to speed by the Board on its policies rather than receiving these bombshells from time to time.
As the record of IR is far from stellar I am not holding my breath.
(Agree completely about 737-it has been a damp squib for years and IMO will remain so for the foreseeable future-nothing there on which to hang a baseball cap never mind a hat-hope I am proved wrong)
"Is it Tuesday that Riverfort get their shares and start selling? At least that gives shareholders a chance to sell before the real action begins."
Presumably you have sold your holding already then, always assuming you had one in the first place?
Obviously don’t see it as good news unlike when we got the hnwi involved who are P@sped off seeing as the new funding has got in at 2p.
Parker needs to go.
Good to see trial is hopefully going well time will tell 737 looks like a no go and again would like to be proved wrong but until we get money comming in nothing will move this sp up imho.
Is this what you meant Gunner?
Not trying to be facetious but it was the "Parker needs to go" bit that confused me. Have I read aright?
Spot on Ace of Clubs especially the Old Boy's Club mentality (it is said the outgoing boss of NatWest will received £2.34 million for just resigning: how much does a train driver get if he resigns??)and the woeful efforts of Hunt and Bailey( and our present "Government")
Many years ago I was on a course run by a couple of big hitters from the London Business School and one day The Professor posed the question "what is uppermost in a company director's mind". We came up with the usual naïve drivel about profits etc etc and he said "you disappoint me gentlemen-the answer is himself. Expensive Wife, 2 kids at expensive boarding school, social façade to upkeep- himself Gentlemen, himself!!!"
He never spoke a truer word.
Don't blame you. Big divs. all very well but they are now taxable at a piddling threshold thanks to the robbing sods in Westminster and when that is taken into account plus loss of capital makes it a pretty futile proposition.
As for the Brokers' SP forecasts methinks they have been throwing darts at a board while blindfolded
