Pegg37, yes I note your trade was never shown...I made 3/4 trades today and all were showing up (LSE) so wierd! Another good day tomorrow imo

[pegg37] 30/7/2012 19:57

Well they are in my share account. I bought them around 15.15pm, strange.

[thal2soar] 30/7/2012 19:14

That million at 0.75p has to be a buy, it was up sharply on no volume earlier
and they do not let people sell at high of the day unless there is a buyer in
the opposite direction, no sign of your 300k buy pegg37.

[thal2soar] 30/7/2012 15:40

Maybe every trade over 250k is delayed, will show in a hour.

[pegg37] 30/7/2012 15:21

I just bought 300k shares and they are not showing?

[thal2soar] 30/7/2012 13:57

[jenny tulwought] 30/7/2012 13:31

are you in this to asset strip the property portfolio, fred? is that the reason for the demerger?

[scburbs] 16/7/2012 09:10

I take it from the announcement that the appetite for the cancer services business is pretty limited. Very odd to split such a small business, but I guess they can only raise equity for the property business.

sure i read somewhere today that freezing or heating cancer cells was to be the way forward for the sucessful treatment maybe this wasnt "high priority"..

[praipus] 09/7/2012 18:09

Thank scburbs.

Looks to be up from 50 in 2010/11 to a forecast 400 in 2013/14.

"Paul Burstow: Since 2008, patients with 'high priority' cancer types have been sent overseas for proton beam therapy (PBT) treatment. The National Specialised Commissioning Team has established a Proton Therapy Clinical Reference Panel to advise on suitable cancer cases to be treated overseas. As of 31 March 2012, 160 patients had started and/or completed PBT treatment overseas, 107 of which were children. We anticipate up to 400 patients travelling overseas for PBT in 2013-14.

In April 2012, we confirmed plans to develop a National PBT service capable of treating up to 1,500 patients a year at facilities in Manchester and London. This service is due to start treating patients from the end of 2017."

The NHS are sending patients overseas for Proton Therapy (limited numbers, but growing).



They have also authorised two units in the UK. Presumably most of the NHS London patients will go to UCL, but CARE may pick up overflow as well as private patients not wanting to pay for overseas treatment. With only 3 centres in the UK there will remain significant supply constraints.





The main question is whether APS have secured the funding required to build out the Moorgate site.

If this is their invention then it is full steam ahead.

Aren't Proton beams the theory behind Star Trek technology? Beam me up Freddy! :-)

CR

[goliard] 07/7/2012 09:34

It looks like they had to raise it for working capital. Very odd. The other thing we don't know is who will pay for this laser therapy. I doubt the NHS will. My guess is that this will be wound up or bits sold off for nominal or no shareholder return.

[praipus] 06/7/2012 15:57

Thanks scburbs what do you make of the equity raising?


£10k doesnt seem a lot and after costs must be worth about 50p or have I made an error with the maths?

[scburbs] 06/7/2012 07:42

Praipus,

No they have no IP for Proton Therapy (they will buy the units). The technology looks successful and underutilised (albeit expensive), so there is good demand for new centres.

The building/operation of new centres is where CARE/JV comes in. However, they have been a bit cagey about whether the first UK one (Moorgate) has raised the required funding (due to open in 2016, but is that subject to funding being raised?).

[praipus] 03/7/2012 16:42

I've read a lot recently about avoiding companies with amazing technical innovations and only bought CARE when PG tipped up, without knowing about the Ptoton beam stuff and just thinking the risk looked small for some real estate development and a possible technology kicker.

Is there anyone posting here who knows anything about Proton Beam technology?

Have CARE got IP for it and if so are they likely to license it etc?
