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

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

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.

WINS still after stock, offering 6.77 pence on the bid now. A 0.27 pence premium to the indicative bid of 6.50 pence.
6.77-7.17 pence.
WINS & EVO (house broker) on the bid, Level 2 still at 2 v 2.

MM tricks,
Level 2 for ETQ at 4 v 4 now, WINS and EVO moved to 6.25 on the bid just after one other.
They happily want sells to come, they making sure a buying frenzy doesn't start. Either an Holdings in Company announcement should be coming this week with regards to the accumalation of stock by someone or some more good news is forthcoming in due course. The size of the sells again which have been few at 50K or less. Watch out for any large buy(s) as always, and keep an eye on the offer price as that always gives a better indication with ETQ.
Naughty MM's :
Online buy price is still 7.17 pence.
Online sell price is 6.50 pence.
Still paying a premium of 0.25 pence on the bid.

Thanks for the mention about The Sun articles Xmortal.
Here they are (MRSA still on the increase) :
NHS disgrace
A SUN investigation reveals that levels of the deadly MRSA superbug are actually INCREASING in many NHS hospitals.
Shockingly, the situation is worse in seven of ten hospitals we first tested eight months ago.
Our investigations prove that despite promise after promise, and the expenditure of billions, many NHS trusts are NOT beating MRSA.
Patients are terrified of going into hospital with good reason.
Nearly ten per cent of all patients catch infections in hospital. At least 5,000 of them are killed.
Many hospitals checked by The Sun still give an impression of being sloppy, chaotic and filthy.
Dont just take our word for it.
Last month Sir John Bourn, chief of the National Audit Office, said that despite being warned to improve FOUR YEARS ago, the NHS still does not have a proper grasp of the extent and cost of hospital-acquired infections.
Yet, as we report today, it IS possible to defeat MRSA.
Great Ormond Street childrens hospital has a strict system of cleaning and infection control and so far this year no child has been infected there with MRSA.
If Great Ormond Street can manage it, why cant the others?

NHS still dirty and deadly
Infection ... hospital superbug
By EMMA MORTON
LEVELS of killer superbug MRSA are rocketing in hospitals, a shock probe by The Sun reveals today.
Seven of ten we tested have worse figures than eight months ago, despite a vowed blitz.
Our team found dangerously high counts in places such as entrances to intensive care and even bone marrow treatment units.
Doors, lifts, pay phones and stair rails were also covered with the bug in still grimy and badly cleaned areas. The chilling findings were made as we went back to major hospitals tested in December.
Newcastle General, the worst infected last year, STILL had the highest level even though it had gone down.
And Chelsea and Westminster where Cherie Blair had son Leo recorded a seven-times increase.
Swab tests were taken at nine points in each hospital and samples analysed in a lab after two days incubation to get an average figure.
Microbiologist Chris Malyszewicz, who tested results from both probes, said he was horrified at the rises.
He measured the number of Colony Forming Units per square cm with 0.1 being low and 0.5 high.
But Chris, whose detailed findings are revealed on this page, added: You can become ill from any amount. The figures will embarrass Health Secretary John Reid who vowed a crackdown on ward bugs that kill 5,000 a year.
They follow a Sun probe last week when a reporter doing a cleaning job was told to re-use cloths that had wiped loos.
Recorded MRSA deaths are now 800 a year but the real figure is thought to be much higher. Survivors can end up having limbs amputated.
Patients groups reacted with anger at our findings. Peter Walsh, of charity Action Against Medical Accidents, said: They are shocking. Tony Field, of MRSA Support, said: We are not surprised.

The trades reported at 6.25 pence for 135,471 pence looks like a rollover. No change on Level 2 still at 4 v 4.
SueHelen

Those trades were a rollover for sure. They were simultaneously put through together on 2 August 2004. Exactly ten trading days ago when a lot of heavy buying occurred on that day due to mention in the daily mail on that weekend with regards to the Buy note from Evolution Beeson Gregory. Not surprising then other T10s expire today and MMs have hence widened the spread and lowered the bid to 6.25 pence even though they are still offering 6.50 pence.
SueHelen

The next batch of T10s expire on this coming thursday from Friday 6 August 2004 when the NHS presentation RNS was announced. As always keep an eye on the offer price, that says it all if you don't have access to level 2.
SueHelen
- 16 Aug 2004 16:21
- 350 of 497
WINS could not get much stock back even with T10s exiting and hence moved to 7 pence on the offer. Remember it has been WINS chasing stock and filling the large buy orders over the last week.
Level 2 now is very positive at 3 v 1 with just WINS on the offer.
The tricks by WINS is so evident on Level 2, continued to pay a premium on the bid for the last three days and they still could not pick up any stock and hence now moved down on the offer and see if that panics some into selling.
SueHelen

No Snip, I can't. You are not looking at the newsflow and whats happening on Level 2. This is a better stock that the one you tried to ramp up on Friday which was NMT. You're producing a different chart all the time.
SueHelen
- 16 Aug 2004 16:34
- 353 of 497
It still did not happen for them, just a handful of sells. Most of the T10 holders may have decided to keep hold of their holdings with the pipeline of good news to come.
Not even one sell since WINS moved onto the offer of 7.00 pence at 4.17pm. That must be embarassing for them.
With level 2 closing at 3 v 1 at 6.25-7.00 pence which is the best it can get we should get a blue day tomorrow now. US markets look good today as well.
