I only bought here in November so was delighted to sell today with a good profit. I would say that longer term investors probably deserved a slightly higher premium due to the cash the company has and the value of any IP. I wish you guys who continue to hold all the best with your investment, and fingers crossed you can squeeze a couple more pence out of the deal.

what does AGI350 target apart from 'unmet medical needs' - seems to me that AGI don't even inform investors what products they are developing? On their website their only product is agi350? No info on how much cash they expect to use to take it to a successful launch and what would be the projected returns? Even with the cash in the bank, and with only 1 product, seems a v. high risk play??

I have no idea how agi-350 will turn out, although all looks positive thus far from rns.

But my point is its low cash burn and £6mn in the back or approx 9p with only 67million shares in issue.

If just a few investors got behind the share and were buying the impact would be very material and would correct imho this undervaluation...

But there you are... People will clammer for stock like crazed fools when the share price is 18,19,20p... but when 3.5p ooohhh caution is required...eh?

imho please dyor

Sooner or late Private Equity firms are going to be snapping up these companies that are valued at a significant discount to cash, its inevitable. Even though the mkt for some reason discounts them to their cash there arent many companies out there that have more cash than mkt cap, and by more we are talking 50-200% more for some.
SEA is 55% discount to cash and assets for free.
AGI is 200% discount to cash and assets/products for free.

So why dont we make some real money. If we can think of it, Im sure there are others doing the sums right now and could make instant profits from just buying out these firms and stripping the cash out of them.

So for instance, seen as most of us cant afford to buy them alone. We get 10 investors to form a takeover group and buy AGI for 6p per share for entire issued share capital, thats 100% premium to current share price We will have already started snapping up shares at these levels. We make £2.2 million from returning cash to shareholders and we also make on the premium on the share price from where we bought in. Thats £220k each plus whatever was put up to aquire the cheap shares too.
Easy eh. And the same can be said for SEA etc, but of course you are talking alot more money in the first place to stump up.

Might as well grab the first post box : )

AGI is completely off the radar of most investors as if you take a look how many posts have been put on the previous thread it is only 460 in 5 years!!!

And only 67 posts on the previous one.

Don't be silly stamply2.

I invest on propositions I like and if a company ever gave out anything remotely price sensitive imho I would run a mile. Management should never reveal anything sensitive to an individual investor.

What I want to see when I contact a company is an open approach and willingness to communicate with investors. That is all.

The rest you have to get from your research and imagination. I envisage this at 25p plus soon - then the nmkt cap will be less than assets by some margin and I will have a 5x increase.

Most people will not be brave or stupid enough to buy now. But that is how I make my money - by buying before others have the stomach too...

imho

AGI Therapeutics
Shares: 127½p unchanged
Questor says Buy

Executives in the drugs sector are not known for their parsimony. Despite the fact that most do not make profits, the bosses of many British biotech and pharmaceuticals companies like to spend their companies' money as if it magically grew on trees.

Not so AGI Therapeutics, which operates out of serviced offices in Dublin. With a market capitalisation of £86m, the company is not a minnow in its sector, yet it employs just eight people. Most of its work - ranging from carrying out clinical trials to analysing the data - is outsourced.

AGI's business model is also devoid of airs and graces. AGI, run by chief executive John Devane, and finance director David Kelly, both veterans of Ireland's Elan, takes established drugs and finds new uses for them. AGI has five drugs in its pipeline. Because its products have been tested in other contexts, the length of trials and costs are lower than for new chemical entities.

It has taken just two years for AGI to develop its irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) product from early trials to the verge of phase three, a milestone it announced yesterday.

AGI aims first to target specialist doctors dealing with IBS in the US and then to roll it out to general practitioners - a formula which has been used before successfully by small drugs companies with limited budgets. It will not employ a salesforce until it is much further down the line.

Not all investors are convinced by the model of reformulating existing drugs. Yet AGI's risk profile is lower than that of many small biotech and pharma companies because it is not dealing with the unknown. AGI yesterday said its annual loss narrowed from \u20AC5.2m (£3.5m) to \u20AC4.2m. It has enough cash to last for the next two years. One to watch
