"Hi Santhi . Yes I’m here ( just been on a 3 day walking holiday) . Plenty of time to chew things over in my mind , but to be honest with what we’ve been given , it’s hard to come to any firm conclusion .
Faron a have up until now been perfectly capable of raising small to medium amounts to get them to the next milestones .
Placings often over subscribed . Loyal shareholders , and they have been a shining example of how to conduct yourself . Multiple grants , and recently high profile tie up with LLS opening doors to the premier cancer treatment centres in the US .
The IPF relationship , although welcome at the time - has caused problems . The cash buffer requirement has been a constant factor in raising funds , and the previous re- negotiation , came after a period where the SP dipped into the 180’s - and IPF came out of that with a much better hand . I don’t think we have ever been given the full details of the IPF agreement - so we don’t know about any small print . But compared to say a normal loan - IPF seem to have a lock over Faron with some severe penalties , and some other share price related conditions .
So - how did we get here ?
The accounting error reason initially seemed the most obvious - but I just can’t see that as the case . Maybe it is and we are stuck in a pickle while Markku tries to get the company back on its feet ( a month to sort it won’t be a complete disaster - but it will be massive egg on face moment) but I really don’t see it . It’s like running out of petrol on the way to church on your wedding day . They can’t be that careless.
So that leaves us with IPF pulling some kind of stunt ( either alone or in step with someone else ) . For reasons to benefit either them ( some kind of extra cheap warrants/ options) that was in the contract ? Who knows . But also - surely it wouldn’t do their reputation much good if future partners with them see how they are prepared to wreck a company for their own gain .
So the third option is that a deal was being finalised - funding was expected - but for some reason didn’t arrive - and this situation occurred . IPF were handed this situation - and had full right to renegotiate their hand again - thank you very much . The SP tank will probably help them - so no rush in sorting it out while share not suspended .
Markku will not panic . There ‘WILL’ be options he can take . What they are doing now I suspect is working through waht will be best for the company ( and shareholders to a lower degree , and remember they are large holders themselves) in the longer term . They have by whatever reason - now got a chance to make themselves a bit less vulnerable .
So - for now - I am over the worrying stage . Out of our hands - all we can do is buy/sell /hold . I have read enough about the company to be confident in their abilities - and have belief in Bex .
I apologise if people have over invested here and are distraught - due to my ramping/ ultra positive nature .
As a side note - look at Avacta - massive potential . Last science day SP was at £1.50 ish . Yesterday 77p . Nothing has changed - they are still making progress -no financial issues - but they are under short attacks , and full on campaign to lower SP . They do have a very large number of PI holders , and for some reason there is the ability in the shady corners of the market to create these situations . But loyal holders will maybe try and trade a bit themselves , buy the dips and wait for the return to form , as they know the company will be worth at lot more than 77p . Likewise here . Good luck . We’ve had it easy compared to some shares . I wish them well . Poor old shareholders certainly getting a kicking all over the market at the moment ."
