Bargain prices still. Real shame all those share went to the open market when they could have gone to sticky II's. Dragged the price right down, broker target of 19p wasn't even looking at Imutex. Strong finish I feel. Got my last batch of placement shares today and am not selling a penny. Have been loading up in my Isa last few days to.

Certainly a back door entrance to those who've missed GGP gains so far. SVE was similar a few months back, has gone from 4p then to 14p today. PRIM's time will come.

I've been increasing my holding here a lot for me. Maybe started a little to soon but I just can't see a much safer place for my money over the next few months if you want it to grow. All the results have been pushed back, pushing back further the results that will show how bad economically this has been. Just speaking to friends and family and its clear employment is about to drop like a stone. The markets have been on a bear trap bull run and reality will kick in quickly. Around the world as lockdown is easing covid numbers are on the rise. US elections are going to be madness this year, Obamagate is being unleashed just before to show the extent of spying and bull narratives on Russia. I've reduced a lot of holding's and expect them to fall more but kept the long term holds at a lower level and will re enter when I see opportunity. Here however, I'm knee deep!

I registered for the ORPH placement and have had emails on every placing since. You need to be quick to get them though. Looks to me like Primary Bid was set up so PI's can also get to benefit from something that normally isn't available to them. Only other one I've taken up so far is here.

I would advice registering if you want access to placement's. Got all I asked for with this one and ORPH. You need to pay up front with a card and log your broker details. Once shares are confirmed you then need to inform your broker and forward relevant email. Job done, shares land in your account on the day they are issued.

Was very impressed with Primary Bid (used first for ORPH). Straight forward online service, first come first served it seems with PI's. Hope I get all I asked for, wasn't huge amounts.

Hold both but bigger in ORPH. For me it's purely because CF is so heavily invested and will return money to shareholders as he wants his return.

PS.. I got in a the last day of trading and am 5% down on my holdings. Timing was lucky.. (if we get a huge buy out)

To answer a piece of string.. From the middle to the end, times by two.

As for EUA, No idea!!

Really hoping in the next few weeks or at least by the end of June. Fingers crossed..

Legislation is what will really help SYM. Only a matter of time before its law to have SYM's additives in all plastics. As you can see from RNS's it already happening around the world. Just take a trip to the supermarket right now and think of the potential and benefits. SYM's time will come, and when it does, it will be solid.

Found this an interesting read and very relevant to SYM.

Objects and Surfaces
The virus could spread by touching an object or surface with virus present from an infected person, and then touching the mouth, nose or eyes.

Surface contamination as observed in the study cited above [source]:

Computer mouse (ICU 6/8, 75%; GW 1/5, 20%)
Trash cans (ICU 3/5, 60%; GW 0/8)
Sickbed handrails (ICU 6/14, 42.9%; GW 0/12)
Doorknobs (GW 1/12, 8.3%)
76.5% of all personal items sampled at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) were determined to be positive for SARS-CoV-2 [source]

Of these samples, 81.3% of the miscellaneous personal items were positive by PCR, which included:

Exercise equipment
Medical equipment (spirometer, pulse oximeter, nasal cannula)
PC and iPads
Reading glasses

Other findings:

Cellular phones (83.3% positive for viral RNA)
Remote controls for in-room TVs (64.7% percent positive)
Toilets (81.0% positive)
Room surfaces (80.4% of all sampled)
Bedside tables and bed rails (75.0%)
Window ledges (81.8%)
Duration of contamination on objects and surfaces
Although the virus titer was greatly reduced, viable SARS-CoV-2 was measured for this length of time:

Plastic: up to 2-3 days
Stainless Steel: up to 2-3 days
Cardboard: up to 1 day
Copper: up to 4 hours

Skin in the game.. One of my favourite AIM CEO's out there. Great work CF.

Gives you a lot more confidence in your investment when you have a CEO like him doesn't it!

First batch came on Friday, 2nd batch once approved will come June12th at the earliest. Didn't see mine in my account till quite late on Friday. Looking forward to the next month two ;)

Probably the placing shares they took at 80p. Come to market Thursday I think. It's their job to make and bank profits so will sell the percentage they got at 80p at the higher price. Forward selling its called. Gives a good opportunity for those that believe to top up at at lower price. Happens 90% of the time with placings.

Every time I've topped up I've paid over the ask, been keeping this one down for some reason.

Well done to all the longs that stuck in there. Recent investors doing very well today...

Exciting times!

The lottery ticket comes in...
7 year flu vaccine is destructive technology. Would wipe the floor with every vaccine company. They would have to buy us out.

What sort of Market Cap/ Share price could we consider fair value if the phase 3 trails are successful?

Some great news, Been waiting for something that will get this SP going. Let's hope we can move up for good this time.

The shorts got their 30p and under price. I hope you all closed. It's now time for the longs.

Just starting to see the demand come though in the post year. Future looks bright. GLA :)

Chairman's Statement

We are at a time of unprecedented change. The current COVID 19 pandemic is likely to permanently alter human outlook and consumption trends, further establishing the environmental, social and governance ("ESG") concerns of key stakeholders of the vast majority of organisations.

Symphony's proposition gathered further ESG momentum during 2019 by increasing key sales and public relations resources, as well as further gaining international recognition by customers, governments and other bodies, with the award of new contracts, approved supplier accreditations and a Green Economy Classification and Mark. These achievements were accompanied by a small reduction in revenues during 2019, but that year in isolation does not capture the momentum of the Group, as demonstrated by a 53% increase in revenues during the first quarter of 2020 to £2.45m versus £1.60m for the same period last year.
