    Jackie for President......I had little confidence instilled by the chair - first time I had heard him present, due to last years cock-up.

    The fact that NONE of the directors could find any money to increase their personal stake in the company by way of the rights issue does not bode well. It's cheap talk to tell us that they are 'fully confident' in its future, and yet not one is prepared to put his money where his mouth is.
    To foretell the future, one must first unlock the secrets of the past.

    Very interesting to hear about the sales process in the US.
    Jackie Walker certainly appears to know what she is talking about - she sounded competent and smart.
    Her answers to the questions were very reassuring given how tentative and nervous Chris Swann appeared to be throughout the meeting.

    Come come, people, don't be so negative. Get with the excitement. Concluding comments from DD : "An Exciting Future For Our Company. We are at an exciting stage ... We are excited about ..."
    A lot of excrement indeed!

    There seemed to be quite few 'great efforts' as well.

    Obvious they didn't really want to be there. ASMs are a necessary chore - we forget its their company, not shareholders.

    And don't ignore the Chairman "I would like to thank our shareholders who participated in the capital raising and who continue to support our strategy. The Board is focused on driving shareholder value and we look forward to another year of improving performance and growing returns." Given that directors and management did not participate in the capital raising, implication is that they do not 'continue to support the strategy'? Plus, if the minus 30% return so far in 2015 is driving shareholder value (down), dread to think what he means by another year of growing returns!"

    We certainly appreciate it.

    No, really. We do.
    NG, actually - balance is back (under his old name). Are you suggesting he uses two different noms de plume concurrently?

    Agree - a quite disappointing performance ranging from mediocre (DD) to nervous / disinterested (CS). Glad I sold out, though too late ... the CR damage was already done to the SP ... and didn't support the CR (following the glowing example of our directors). Not very confident answer on the question whether they expect a further CR prior to 2018 (which is now confirmed as the year where they magically reach the $100m turnover). Sure - if they need more money, than it can't be hard to identify another "opportunity" - can it?

    Default Sponsored Bladder cancer social network

    This was mentioned in the meeting:
    https://bladdercancer.me/

    I'm sure there are plenty of well established online forums where those with bladder cancer already interact...
    • I wonder what the uptake will be?
    • Is this like a forum or different? They refer to it as a "Private social network"...
    • Will the value-added features such as real-time clinical support, video meetings, health tracking, reporting etc. be enough to build sufficient uptake (eg, people joining up)?
    • How will people be made aware of this - through their doctors or just word of mouth?
