At 12p this looks a great BUY.Remember after the deal with Suvair this shot to around 30p ! Next news I am sure will be the announcement of some major deals.Fill up at this level.

If we can get another few little rises then a breakout in the chart would look promising, and i have a good feeling in my bone.

Slight drop in the offer price whilst Bid price stays the same may entice some buyers in prior to the bell.

todays news states change of advisor and broker

Energy Technique plc is pleased to announce the appointment of Keith, Bayley, Rogers & Co., Limited as broker to the Company, and ARM Corporate Finance Limited as nominated advisers to the Company as of June 27, 2005.

anyone know anything about these two or how they might be better at promoting the company?

about a month to go before results to judge by last year. Is this a precursor to something that needs to be handled better...( we can but hope!!)

Wouldn't be surprised to see a sale of the traditional business as it is very seasonal, leaving management 100% time to focus on the more exciting bug busting side of the business. As for changing advisors, would reckon these may be better plus might be more appropriate if the company is about to grow via an acquisition? Just conjecturing.

I would have to disagree a little with you sharesure, this business wouldn't survive without the 'ordinary' part. the nightingale may be exciting but its not yet enough to sustain a business on its own ( aparently).

As for the seasonal issue I think that is far less the case than you suggest. They are not focused on selling fans and ac units to joe bloggs in the summer heatwave....rather most is direct into construction projects which operate year round. Aircon plant goes in when a building is refurbished or built irrespective of the season. there is of course a seasonal effect but maybe not too distorting.

lets see

GN

Gn, Agree that the Nightingale part is too small and therefore would need an acquisition to give the business the critical mass if you cleaned out the traditional manufacturing part. But that is what would help revitalise this business and I would hope that is what the mgt will do. Seems to have been higher volume, early on almost all was buying. Was it tipped somewhere? IC did refer to it some 4 weeks ago so maybe they'll return to it this Friday?

Shares magazine's article on MRSA and the companies which might benefit omitted ETQ. Surprising given the trial of its equipment at Basingstoke hospital. Maybe it is a money issue for the government: being sued for dereliction of duty versus capital costs of taking appropriate measures? If the NHS ever gets to funding measures for prevention of this problem then ETQ should be well up the queue to benefit.

up again today and breaking through the 3p bid level. others on ample are suggesting stories that the factories are working overtime on orders, though for which producrts is not clear...something seems to be changing.

i was introduced to this company through shares magazine some three years ago......maybe they were also let down by its progress.

nightingale should be seen as a wide range solution to airborne pathogens and not solely as a mrsa related product....all hospitals should have them at least for isolation wards....


GN

GN : They also need units in offices, factories, mail sorting offices etc plus a lighter version of Nightingales on aircraft to make spraying passengers with aerosols a thing of the past. Overriding all this is in my view a need for an acquisition of a larger company, possibly inheriting some of its mgt. as apart from the CEO, I think there is little depth/range in capabilities within the existing company. Pretty sure their new advisors will tumble to this fairly fast if they haven't already. The sp rise and increased volume suggests someone knows something.
As for Shares mag. not picking up on them, that is not a surprise given their current focus; I think the mag. is changing and not all of those changes are improvements.

Just read this from another board.

noc, very relevant link. The NHS just seem happy to ignore airborne pathogens as a cause because the government doesn't want to spend the money. Maybe the activity around ETQ means some progress is being made. Not before time.

akel,

an interesting site, I just had a good look through and wanted to know have you been using it or following its advice for long? how would you rate it? cheers

gn

Something is definately bubbling under the surface.....this could be about to take off. Sells are out-numbering buys 3 to 1 today, yet it has continued to climb. It is being traded well above average, perhaps the MM are offering a low spread to increase sells in order to collect stock / fill an order as they now something we dont......watch this one to could be ready!!

RobRocket, A contact I have who is close to them reckons that the sale of the traditional business and retention of the Nightingale/Lifebreath part where there have been some large orders + a possible acquisition is a distinct possibility. Doubt it will be long before we find out.

Global Nomad
to tell you the truth i really do not rate it
i just go there out of interest, and all they do is follow the trends
you can really come unstuck if you follow them willy-nilly
its like anything else i suppose,nothing better than research,
the real reason for the rise is the two page write up in shares mag about superbugs this week,"no etq were not mentioned" but they have the product to fight them,

also by coincidence its about 1 year ago "july" that the price doubled

and then again it might even be results are just around the corner
and some one knows a thing or two, "take your pick"

This share has got to be undervalued. ETQ's core business seems on the up what with more staff and larger premises. Also the SP was valued far higher than this prior to the nightingale product and now the core of their business is doing better than it was before the nightingale. With or without the nightingale the 3p mark is well off the mark.
I got into this because some of my patients developed complications of MRSA and as a health care worker I know that it is impossible to barrier nurse someone effectively unless the air is decontaminated. This cannot be done by fumigation because you would have to close down a ward and evacuate all the patients and staff to carry this process out. ETQ's solution is a good one, all it requires is recognition and acceptance. I believe that a version of the product should be available to Virgin airlines British Airways GP rooms, basically anywhere that people meet and have the potential to contaminate each other, I feel concerned regarding other conditions such as SARS. I look forward to ETQ's results.
