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

The September presentations with the NHS chiefs is a great opportunity for ENERGY TECHNIQUE to get their message across which is that the NHS need to have as many methods/processes in place to prevent the MRSA problems.Hygiene involves many areas which need to be addressed and ENERGY TECHNIQUE will stress that airbourne infections can be prevented with their Nightingale product for which they have data from hospitals which have used their products showing the effectiveness of their product.The NHS will need to understand that they need to use ENERGY TECHNIQUE air products alongside other measures to ensure an hygienic environment.The ENERGY TECHNIQUE product is a preventative measure and that is what the NHS need to wake up too!
The extent of the MRSA problems means that they should take on board these issues because certain hospitals could be closed down unless they take on board every measure to overcome the problems!

Tuesday's Bloomberg article mentioned that hospitals in the USA were buying more products.Now the point is that whatever the products are they will also have a knock on effect on the hygiene problems which will also need to be addressed a great sign for ETQ.

More lawsuits (in the US) re MRSA - this may help sales of the Nightingale there if such lawsuits are successful!

... and here is the latest cure for MRSA! ...straight off the Aussi press:

(even if it works it won't stop people becoming infected in the first place of course)

and finally, this article sums up why the MRSA problem has now become so tragically serious in our hospitals, as we all well know but the government does not want to admit.

Re : shareprice.

One change today is positive in that for the short term trading range it was stated as ETQ does not show any clear trend. Now it is stated that we are in a rising trend & continued rise within the trend channel is indicated.

Re : my postings yesterday about the premium on the bid, again today the market makers are offering 6.73 pence on the bid and 7.17 pence on the offer.

info about dilution of a stock (not etq just general stuff)

http://www.fool.com/news/commentary/2004/commentary040505pe.htm

Dilution : its only 3 million shares.

The additional listing refers to the below (May 2001):

The company is selling the loss-making Bensons Heating unit to a management
buyout team and has agreed to a cash injection from a consortium of companies
and individuals led by Harrell Hospitality Group Inc and Cybertec Holdings plc.
They will be subscribing for 36.7 mln new Energy Technique share at 3 pence
each and intend to pay 587,688 stg in cash for the stock and 514,312 in shares
in Cybertec.

ONLY 3million shares?

dont wish to appear negative as a holder, but 3million shares is the best part of 250k ( a significant percentage of the market cap )

as the ovehang is absorbed ( i hope ) punters wil be buying and selling. could be a long wait without news at todays trading rate.

Level 2 at 1 v 3, just WINS on the bid who are offering 6.73 pence on the bid and are chasing stock as they have done throughout this week. It has been WINS who have been filling the large buys that have come through every day this week.

WINS are still not getting any stock at 6.73 pence. Hence they might try to get some stock back from the usual suspects by moving onto the 6.25 pence bid. As always keep an eye on the offer price.

Level 2 has just improved after the 70,000 buy at 7.00 pence. EVO have joined WINS again on the bid at 6.50 pence. Level 2 from 1 v 3 is now at 2 v 2.

7.2 pence on the offer now

Hi patsym,

Level still at 2 v 2 after EVO the house broker joined WINS on the bid mid-morning today.

WINS are now offering 6.75 pence on the bid price, a hefty premium of 0.25 pence on the bid. Real price 6.75-7.20 pence. A large buy may come through again towards close. A succession of large buys have been coming through on each day this week hence may get another one today also.

nice way to end the week hey?

Would be yes patsym, though I'm very happy with the activity this week albeit no change in the price.

We have had a good week I think this week :

We have moved into an uptrend now (my Investtech post)
Lots of large buys have been coming through
The sells have been the size of peanuts, really small.
Buys are outdoing sells for the tenth trading day in a row
The price has been able to hold onto all of its gains

Pattern :

Week before last week the price was building a base at 5.00 pence
Last week the price was building a base at 6.00 pence
This week the price was building a base at 7.00 pence
Next week we could be looking at the price building a base at 8.00 pence and attacking the resistance at 8.10 pence.

Well the large buy didn't come today though level 2 closed at 2 v 2 with EVO and WINS on the bid and the real price was 6.75-7.20 pence at close. WINS paying a premium of 0.25 pence on the bid ???

At close :

Buys outweighed Sells for the tenth trading session in a row

Buys = 180,502
Sells = 67,726

Yes not much buying today but again like all the past trading sessions the buys that come in are large and the sells that come in are small.

Buys vs Sells for the last ten trading sessions :

Below in reverse order where the first batch is today's data (the buy/sell column trades are incorrect for some days), I have had to go back on previous posts and take the figures that I have posted at the close of each trading day, I have not included any rollover trades in the data as they don't affect the price :

Buys Sells

180502 , 67726
632199 , 419644
769389 , 574927
1750000 , 670688
1600000 , 1000000
9000000 , 3000000
263181 , 259503
348285 , 344279
1450000 , 597047
3600000 , 2200000

Total Buys for the last ten trading sessions = 19,593,556
Total Sells for the last ten trading session = 9,133,814

I make that about 10 million in more buys.

sh

as i have said im a holder, but your figures say to me there is one LARGE dump coming. ( albeit it would appear to be covered judging by the static price )

Hi Superrod, the calculations suggest that somebody is accumalating stock at fixed prices in ETQ at prices of around 7.00 pence, some clever accumalation buy orders getting filled by the market makers without raising the price, Level 2 gave a good hint about this on each trading day in the last week (look at the large buys at 7.00 and 7.25 pence this past trading week). The real action happens on level 2 which gives the first indication of good things about to happen and it looks like some more good news is on its way. Level 2 was looking the way it is before last friday's news release came (see my posts during last week) about the September 1 presentations to the NHS chiefs.
Having thought through the RNS regarding the NHS chiefs/presentation etc soon this is also a great achievement and shows that the NHS want to listen to ENERGY TECHNIQUE as the NHS are under pressure with the problems that exist in the UK. I think that the Energy Technique sale in the USA and data that ENERGY TECHNIQUE have from trials will have pursuaded the NHS CHIEFS to want to attend the presentations and hopefully they will WAKE up and get convinced that they need to tackle AIRBOURNE problems asap.



Investtech Analysis updates after friday's close :

Positive Candidate (Short term) - Aug 13, 2004
ENERGY TECH. ORD 1P is in a rising trend and a continued rise within this trend may be expected. In addition, the price has now fallen back towards the floor of the trend channel, which should give a reaction up. The stock has support at p 5.10 and resistance at p 8.00. Volume tops correspond well with price tops, and volume bottoms correspond well with price bottoms. Volume balance is also positive, which strengthens the trend. The stock is overall assessed as technically positive for the short term.

Neutral (Medium term) - Aug 13, 2004
Is within a falling trend. Continued negative development within the trend channel is indicated. Has, however, received a positive signal from the moving average indicator, thus signaling a continued rise. The stock has resistance at p 8.70. Positive volume balance strengthens the stock in the short term. The stock is overall assessed as technically neutral for the medium long term.

Weak Positive Candidate (Long term) - Aug 13, 2004
Is within a falling trend. Continued negative development within the trend channel is indicated. Has met the objective at 12.66 after a break of a inverse head and shoulders formation. The price has now fallen, but the formation indicates further rise. The stock has support at p 3.50 and resistance at p 11.40. Volume tops correspond well with price tops, and volume bottoms correspond well with price bottoms. Volume balance is also positive, which weakens the falling trend and could be an early signal for a coming trend break. Trading volume has increased substantially lately, which may be because of fundamental news. The stock is overall assessed as technically slightly positive for the long term.
