An excellent interview today with Dr Balaji Ganeshan, Scientific Director at Feedback PLC. Valued at just £2.7m, the company is on the threshold of securing FDA approval which will enable it to grow operationally in a market worth some $32bn in 2014. Link to interview here:

Looks like the wheels are now turning. Along with finals covering the transition period, Feedback have announced a board restructure with three new non-execs, Simon Barrell, Trevor Brown (ex Advanced Oncotherapy) and Tom Charlton. Ahead of the launch of the pharmaceutical trials version of TexRAD software, Feedback has also reconfirmed the agreement with Imaging Endpoints II.

I have today viewed the Feedback PLC website and updated the company history:

Feedback was founded in 1958 by two members of staff at Imperial College, London by Prof. John Westcott and Dr Peter Blackman, and Tom Strand to build equipment to teach the principles of engineering to university students.

In 2012, following a number of years of falling sales, Feedback sold its founding company, Feedback Instruments Ltd, and its US distribution business Feedback inc.

In 2013, the group sold its time and attendance monitoring company, Feedback Data plc, and became an investing company under the AIM rules, and in April 2014 moved into the growing field of medical imaging with the conditional acquisition of Cambridge Computed Imaging Ltd and TexRAD Ltd.

Today, Feedback is at the forefront of medical image processing, analysis expertise and novel quantification techniques with its Cadran and Texrad product families.

Cadran:
Cadran Image Storage Management offers fully featured image display, review and manipulation options and enterprise archiving for clinical, non-clinical and teaching use. Clinicians can display, review and manipulate images using in-line measurement and analysis tools to assist diagnosis and quantify treatment response.

TexRAD:
TexRAD analyses the textures in radiological scans to assist clinicians in assessing the prognosis of patients with cancer. It is being applied in a wide range of studies including colorectal, breast, lung, prostrate, oesophageal, head and neck, and renal cancers

TexRAD offers an innovative quantitative tool to clinicians researching the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment response of cancer. TexRAD helps users analyse, detect and measure textures in medical images, revealing more information than can be seen with the naked eye.

No doubt Tom Charlton is a big fan of the technology, he's been
holding for a long time. This is medical imaging enhancing existing
expertise and techniques through new technology - in a nutshell
could lead to earlier detection, more accurate diagnosis -
treatment etc. Many potential applications across the medical
field.

Ursus, as the highly intelligent, educated and curious man I know you to be, you may be interested in learning more, for example:

Some decent buying today -

[silver streak] 25/1/2014 17:00

The other major holder has history at AVO. Curiouser and curiouser.....

[maxy26] 25/1/2014 11:44

Old Giggleswickian - yes that is true but never with 26% and this is after it became a cash shell and he is now a director....you have to wonder why?

My take on this, for what it is worth, is that the fact that the special resolution dis-applying pre-emption rights was withdrawn at the EGM, suggests that the main shareholders (who would be the ones most affected) are likely to be mean with dilutive share issuance post deal, if and when a deal is done. This is likely to be good for shareholders generally surely...?

[old giggleswickian] 24/1/2014 16:05

MAXY26,
Tom Charlton has been one of the largest shareholders here for over 15 years.

The spread having narrowed to .75-70 has now widened again. I am not surprised at the renewed interest, but the question remains - why would two established and serious investors (Tom Charlton is a major shareholder in Carrs Milling with a holding worth more than 10 million pounds)take significant stakes in this tiny aim cash shell ?

[maxy26] 31/12/2013 08:01

Not much to go on here. Cash shell. 72% of shares in firm hands. Has until May to do a deal. The two major shareholders hold more than 50% between them.

One for 2014?

So that'll be a 1 million sell next week. At what price? Seen some really stupid trading decisions recently, people losing a lot of money chasing unjustified spikes. My bet is the 1 million buyer loses 25% next week (unless they can ramp/pump/pursuade idiots to bid the stock up).



Just spotted they bailed on Christmas Eve for a 50% loss. £8,000 down the drain buying a junk illiquid stock. Good to see the scummy pump and dump old-fashioned / outdated con merchants lose occasionally!

[protean] 20/12/2013 08:04

29.93% -
Above 26% -

2 potential bidders going head to head?

[ukmassy] 17/12/2013 12:34

No, it was you Topinfo.

[bozzy_s] 17/12/2013 12:24

Seems a magnet for idiots this one! Look at late Friday / early Monday trades. The 1m @ 1.6p hasn't sold (paper loss of over 50%, unlikely to get anywhere near the quoted 0.85p for that qty), but some hangers-on have bailed.

Prize for biggest idiot goes to 37,007 bought @ 1.85p, sold 59 trading minutes later for 1.05p, a loss of 43%. Haven't seen anything so stupid since Wonga somehow persuaded some idiots a loan interest rate of 3,000%+ was a good deal!

80,658 bought @ 1.7 sold at 1.4 (54 minutes later) didn't take into account the huge spread - making these unsuitable for daytrading. Any buyer needs to be prepared to wait a few weeks for the shares to perhaps gain 30%, to take the buyer to break-even.

[ukmassy] 17/12/2013 10:23

Wicked trade that was. 20K in at 1.1p 20K out at 1p 6 mins later!

[old giggleswickian] 16/12/2013 14:18

coolen,
Tom Charlton's original interest all those years ago was as an investor. As things declined he supported the company and then became a director.

Ian.

[ukmassy] 16/12/2013 13:27

This share heated up after 2:30pm on Friday. Wonder if it will do the same again today?

[coolen] 16/12/2013 13:25

Is this the same Tom Charlton who was a director during the years of Feedback's decline (8 years ago) ?

The same guy who holds a stake in WSE (Western Selection) ?

A retired fund manager ?

[mypension] 16/12/2013 13:18

Thanks UKMassy - I also see the cash they have but that 52% held by just two people worries me.
