Could ETQ's share price be soon to benefit from their developments with the new UVGI Nightingale Mobile Air Filtration Product.

New UVGI air filtration product

In November 2002, the ETQ announced its new Nightingale UVGI air filtration product, to be produced by a new joint-venture company, UVGI Systems Limited, owned 55% by the Group and 45% by Suvair Limited. This rapid response mobile air filtration unit is capable of killing the MRSA super bug and other airborne pathogens.

The UVGI unit has widespread application where there is need to keep
air free of dangerous live bacteria, viruses, and fungal spores, including
hospitals, schools, cruise liners, aircraft, food processing, and military
applications.

The UVGI unit uses a high intensity Ultra Violet Germicidal Irradiation ('UVGI')
filter, which has been designed to control harmful and dangerous airborne
pathogens, such as Anthrax, Tuberculosis, and Staphylococcus aureus, the
causative agent in MRSA. The filtration system is combined with use of high
intensity Ultra Violet light, which inactivates micro organisms by disrupting
their DNA structure.

Tests of a prototype at the Defence Science Technology Laboratory ('Dstl') at
Porton Down, the centre for excellence for the Ministry of Defence, showed that
the UVGI unit captured and/or destroyed more than 99.9% of Bacillus subtilis
spores, a simulant for Anthrax bacteria.

Since November, second generation units have been developed, which will go on
applications testing at an NHS Trust Hospital in December 2003, following
building completion of its new haematology unit. It is also anticipated the
UVGI unit will shortly go on laboratory testing in the United States with
contractors nominated by the Department of Homeland Security.

Concern seems to be hotting up on the T.V. news that the MRSA super bug is still killing and disabling people visiting or as patients in NH Trust hospitals. It would be surprising if NH Trust hospital do not notice and Buy this product before they get to many expensive law suits for compensation claims.

Definitely a stock that could soon be heading north. Worth buying in but DYOR

That's better then Snip, as your post yesterday was sounding more like a ramp with nothing to back it up. Please look at all my posts since last week and tell me which you think are a rampish nature and you do know I was spot on as well even though your TA was saying something altogether different compared to mine last week. After putting the hours in digging valuable information which not everyone can find, I don't know how it can be called a ramp.

snip
just to say thanks for the advice

sh it is my own view,with all the good news in the market at the moment it is a weak stock as stated before 1 up day ,looks like another red day today.cheers woodie ps downside looks limited.

Thanks for your input Woodie.

5.50-6.50 pence, MMs couldn't get any sells first at 6.25pence, then 6.00 pence, then 5.75 pence this week and are now trying to get some stock back at 5.50 pence as buys outweigh sells again today for the fourth consecutive trading day. They have to balance their books and buys (see trades page from Monday) have totalled about 10 million this week compared to about 3 million sells this week. Let's see how low the offer goes. Keep an eye on the offer price!
Another pointer with regards to lowering the bid, they desperately want stock back. Online bid price is stil 5.88 pence.
Unless there is some news to come, like a mention in IC tomorrow. A 1 pence spread must mean something.

Each to their own peril though. The above is just my view.

Another pointer : Level 2

4 vs 4

All square!

All MMs are on the same bid and offer. Some news or mention in IC could be coming. Not seen 4 v 4 on Level 2 for ETQ before.

SueHelen - have seen a couple of times you mention that the mm's have to balance their books. I don't think they do - they can, and often do, hold long or short positions for extensive periods (many months)

my broker is now offering etq at 6.20

sh thanks for your polite responses to my posts,with the amount of time you have put into the research of this stock regardless of other peoples view you deserve to come out quids in.cheers woodie

SueHelen

Thanks for the large post of last night. I can see why you feel the way you do and agree with Woodie the amount of work you put in you deserve to come out on top. Too risky for me though. I think that for hospitals to have complete protection they will have to buy a lot of units. As they are a stand alone unit and about the size of an american fridge there range of cover must be limited, hence more will be required and with a cash strapped NHS who knows.

Any product that can clean up our hospitals and get rid of that awful MRSA bug has got to be good news. I really do hope they succeed then everyone is a winner not least of all the patients.

My do dars are'nt big enough for this one but any one holding good luck.

mickeyskint

ps. sold aal short by 45p I all ways do this, any advice on when is it good to get out would be appreciated.

Snip

Will check out your way of handling risky stocks and tap into thread HSD.

Re : my previous post. Last 45 minutes of trading....3 out of the 4 MMs were supporting the 5.50 pence bid in that they were ready to gobble stock at the this cheap bid price, they were not getting sellers hence one the MMs lowered the offer to 6.25 panic holders into selling - (Level 2) which still didn't work.
Incidentally, Level 2 closed very strong the best it can be at 3 v 1.

Buys outpaced Sells again today for the fourth consecutive trading day. With regards to the MMs actions, one just has to look at all the heavy buying this week especially on Monday at prices of 6.10 pence and above and look at the size and amount of sells that were going through.

There were no sellers at 6.25 pence, 6.00 pence, 5.75 pence and now the bid if at 5.50 pence and no sellers have appeared. This strengthens the stock in that when the price is rising we have high volume days and when the price is falling we have low volume days.

Conclusion :

One has only to look at all the heavy buying this week especially on Monday and the peanuts selling which has been 100K or less on the other days. Something is definetely brewing here having witnessed level 2 this week. Each to their own and all that.

Hi Mickey, thanks for your input (& comments Woodie, Hotei). I have not been following aal so I can't make any comments just yet on that. I could try and have a look at it for you this weekend if you like.

The size of the Nightingale Units :

I emailed the CEO of ETQ asking if they have considered producing a smaller version of the Nightingale, and I've now had a reply. Well it appears there is a complete product range (and not just the one in the picture (website)) currently being marketed by N.Q. Environmental U.S.A. Here is the relevant part of the email:

"With regard to smaller versions of the product, we now have a complete product range on offer having signed an exclusive distribution agreement with N.Q. Environmental U.S.A.
They give us the opportunity to sell units as small as TV sets. Already N.Q. Environmental have sold and are selling the Nightingale unit in the U.S.A."

For SueHelen,

I am new to this game and it is a bit of fun for me (although anxious at times) but I would like to comemnt that I think as we are all supposed to be ADULT traders/investors the comments that you have endured today are somewhat unjustified. I say this because as ADULTS we have the ability to make our own decisions and to think for ourselves and I have yet to see any physical force in people deciding which stock to but and to sell. If people like your good self do research and deem to share your opinions with the rest of us tham I can only say that it is our choice as to whether to follow your comments or not and I for one value all comments whether I agree with them or not. Keep going some of us appreciate it.

Thanks patsym.

SueHelen hope you are smiling this morning you certainly deserve to be!!

What a call by myself, re : my post about the last 45 minutes of trading yesterday the market makers were looking a bit dodgy on Level 2 as I posted, excellent news out today. I'll be back later after I've had my breakfast.

Some excellent weekend press should be coming this weekend and more good gains should follow suit next week as well.

Nightingale superbug killer in presentation to NHS chiefs

Energy Technique plc, the UK company behind the world-beating Nightingale air
filtration unit that kills the MRSA hospital superbug, is to address a health
Commission looking into the superbug crisis.

The company will tell NHS chiefs and members of the public how Nightingale has
been shown to be 99.8% effective by the Health Protection Agency at Porton Down,
Wiltshire.

The invitation to address the September 1st meeting at Newton Aycliffe, County
Durham, comes as Energy Technique continues discussions to sell Nightingale
units into the National Health Service.

Energy Technique Managing Director Leigh Stimpson said: "This marks a welcome
advance in our efforts to make contact with influential opinion formers and
decision makers within the NHS."

Mr Stimpson added: "We are especially pleased to be able to talk to members of
the public - the growing threat of MRSA in our hospitals is an issue that
affects everybody."

The Newton Aycliffe forum has been organised by the Commission for Patient and
Public Involvement in Health, an independent public body sponsored by the
Department of Health. Its forums - run independently of the DoH, are intended to
bring local needs into policy making agendas.

Energy Technique recently announced its first sale of a Nightingale Unit into a
US hospital in Randallstown, Maryland.

Nightingale uses ultraviolet radiation combined with sophisticated air flow
systems to attack the DNA of killer germs such as MRSA, anthrax and TB. First
unveiled at the end of 2002 following prototype testing, the system has
subsequently undergone further development ahead of extensive commercial
marketing.
