    From a disgruntled shareholder who asked if PEB ever highlighted this - as it explains why the relentless search for a better urine test continues.

    Going back too far to recall but fair enough point?

    Sigh, I don't understand. Why have you brought this (almost 5 year old) piece of riveting journalism to our attention? You say it is from a disgruntled shareholder, was the journalist a disgruntled shareholder? Are you the disgruntled shareholder? What did the digruntled shareholder ask? If this "news' item had been highlighted? How does it explain the relentless search for a better urine test? What don't you recall and what iis the point you make?

    Yes. Pacific Edge have offered the CxBladder test online for 4 or 5 years, still do. The test helps rule out bladder cancer, the results are sent to your GP. PE makes it clear that haematuria can be caused by all sorts of things, foods, trauma, etc. But one on ten may be as a result of bladder cancer, and this is the cause one should be most concerned about.

    And yes, the Urologists (who make a lot of money from unecessary and invasive cystoscopies) may miss out occassionally.

    So what? Have there been cases in the last 5 years where people have ordered the test and then died of food colouring or something? What are you saying?
    Do you doubt the accuracy of the test? Have you raised your concerns with the DHB's that are using it?

    Yes, about 17% .

    Choking on their ESG investment in PEB, with ever increasing stake and increasing losses.

    Next underwrite should see them go to 19.999% after which other shareholders may get a chance to be bailed out by Harbour too?

    Gee - now that's how you should be questioning PEB's directors and management about their non-delivery of :

    1. $100m revenues by 2019,

    2. Full CMS coverage,

    3. Real sales (remember the fictitious sales?),

    4. Contracts with Kaiser & other test program partners,

    5. Profitability and cashflow positivity,

    6. Etc etc etc

    After spending $200m to show bugger all against their stated aims above!

    Instead, you think shooting the messenger will bring PEB success with the clowns in charge?

    A punt implies that there are considered odds on winning?

    Given the track record of this company, its directors and management of mismanaging this company and squandering $200m, is there really any hope of a favorable odd with this 'punt'?
