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

apple maybe you should be called sour grapes ;-)

You missed the rise from 9p to 15p and now from 4.5p to 6p.

Daily Express

"Share Whisper:

*Gossips believe that hospital trials for Energy Technique (LSE: ETQ.L - news) 's air-filtration equipment have gone well and more contracts are in the pipeline

What really happened is that I missed a very short lived SPIKE caused by pump & dump rampers. (See Chart.)

This was VERY risky & I was proved right as those who LOST from that pump & dump know only too well.

I then missed a CRASH down to about 4p.

My only regret is that I wasted a lot of time researching this company when I could have been looking into something better.

This share may well be ramped up a bit again BUT what a RISK!

Note the spread is 12.5% BUT it is usually 20%

Hmmmmmmm,

I still can't see any reason why sales could take off rapidly.

As I said before, it is leased, not sold.
5 Year Lease.

Unfortunately, the Lease is 2000/Year

PLUS

4000/Year Maintainence

So who wants to pay 30,000 over 5 years just to protect 1 room?

Not many people, I would think.

So sales will only build up slowly until they manage to cut the costs of the product by developing a MUCH cheaper version.

That could take some years I suppose.

Anyway, I'm not sure that they would have the ability to rapidly increase production even if the demand was there.

This product is helpful to them to persuade people to buy their big air conditioning systems & have this technology included.

Apparently this technology can't be fitted to existing systems.

That would make a difference.

The rest of their business seems rather unexciting & the UVGI is still being evaluated by potential customers.

At the moment, the rest of their business is the business.

This is such an important application for a product BUT the price just seems too high at 6000/year.

I wanted to invest in ETQ but I was disappointed when I found out some of these facts.

Happy1

If I were you I would out as soon as you can.

Only the rampers will make a profit out of this one, those who lose from the ramp will have to wait until next year or longer to get their money back.

In the LONG term this company may do well but it is a big risk & there are better opportunities elsewhere.

The share dilution will help to hold it back & may be followed by another one.

So wait & see & forget about the ramp, it may be almost as bad as the last spike.

I would have a read of the post on ADVFN tonight as if it is true then there will be a sharp mark up in price.

Me,I am sitting on 30K free,so what the heck !

DOWN 13%

Happy1

I hope you got out in time.

Good tradeing stock in at 4.5 out at 5.25

Big mark up !

Recovered from yesterdays big drop.

Good chance to sell before it goes down again unless the rampers make it go a bit further.

But do you want to risk it, the spread is 23%

apple what is your problem ?

You go on about rampers but your are the No1 deramper !

No problem Happy1, but I do have a grudge against rampers.

I'm just pointing out the facts & warning you that you are taking a big risk.

You said, "No1 deramper," now that is just ludicrous.

Please don't engage in personal attacks, stick to the facts.
There were no facts in your last message.

apple you have not posted anything to stop people buying except to say that the stock is being ramped !

Sorry but if you don't hold a pos then why post ?

Happy1

Yes I have said more than it is being ramped.

I have posted facts & my opinion on then.

Well if thats the only research which you have done then shame ! There is alot more informed research available elsewhere.

Have any of you guys checked out the UVGI site recently...some interesting facts on infection control.

Yes saw the new products the other day.

Yes BMW I have seen it.

It is very positive & should help them with their share issue BUT wait until the shares have dropped & maybe look next year especially with a 23% spread.

See below.

As I said before UVGI air filtration is a small part of their business & the portable unit is not cheap enough & full scale building aircon version not on the horizon.

One to avoid!

Massive share dilution.

Move to AIM so that ISA holders are FORCED to SELL.

Bad track record.

Take another look this time next year.

AIM - Tax advantage

Bad track record ?

Dilution - Maybe there is a reason !

Bid rumour in the papers today.

Hi Happy1

Thanks for the update which paper is it in?
