Quite a punchy f'cast lol - 320 - free float 36m

[the drewster] 16/2/2017 15:31

It is absolutely volume driven ... volume in demand against volume available at the market price.

At a lofty 92p bid, sellers are still not forthcoming it seems.

[twatcher] 16/2/2017 15:28

It's certainly not volume driven, 25K shares traded thus far.

[krr13] 16/2/2017 15:26

Well 2017 was forecast to be the turning point where Frontier was cash generating. The stock looks very illiquid judging by how difficult it was to buy any volume. Nice to see a bit of blue.

"Aura and his friend" clearly not stupid ... bravo mes amigos

[krr13] 16/2/2017 14:34

Up she goes

[the drewster] 16/2/2017 11:24

Could something positive actually be up?

I can't get a firm quote to buy even a paltry amount.

Aura and his friend have either had all that was available, or have an open "buy all available" instruction lodged with a broker?

[krr13] 16/2/2017 11:20

I can't get a quote for any decent volume. 1000 max at 90p. 84 to sell as little as 2000.

[krr13] 16/2/2017 11:18

Small steady rises is what is needed. Sometime is happy to build a position

[the drewster] 16/2/2017 10:39

...the next register might make interesting reading.

I can sell 100,000 so there is at least an appetite for the shares somewhere.

Disillusioned (I know you'd never tell by reading my posts), but holding for now.

No real stock around as an Insti has been hoovering up loose stock for the last few months.

A bit of good news and price will rise.

[monty panesar] 16/2/2017 09:12

Well put aura,

Sensium great potential but was disastrous for shareholder value which is the most important thing.

Needs a big budget to exploit it that TMZ never had.

It's about making profits.

[aura01] 15/2/2017 19:02

I do appreciate that sentiment is no longer as positive on this board, compared to the Sensium days. I have been here for about 9 years now and have a significant holding (it is all relative though). It was very disappointing to lose Sensium but I do believe we still have a product that has potential. At this stage, we don't know how much but it must be a good sign that Sethill is finally putting his hand in his pocket. He is certainly not the type of person that is doing it for the benefit of the other shareholders.

I do believe that over the last couple of days, my friend and I have bought most of the stock purchased and it was very encouraging that there were only small chunks available (hence all the small trades) whereas one could sell MUCH larger volumes. I know the institutions are not selling and think there may be others looking to join the party.

The lack of stock must be a good sign in my opinion and it wouldn't surprise me if we saw quite an increase in the shares over the coming weeks. I hope so anyway.

Let's keep our fingers crossed that our patience will be rewarded in the end.

Only time will tell. Good luck fellow shareholders. I do feel that sentiment is about to turn in this un-loved stock.

If it were not for AS, there would not have been a TMZ, in fact there might not have been a FST.

TMZ Sensium has not exactly set the world on fire since they got rid of it, it needed a lot more capital to keep it going for the next few years.

AS with FS was effectively a reverse takeover, with the likelihood it would be a complete takeover.

Now he can get on with the job of making FST the success he has strived for. The previous board of FS managed to squeeze him out and started going down the wrong path, and in so doing, managed to produce an operating loss of £837k for full year 2011, whereas AS wanted to build on the £1.6m profit they made in 2010.

TMZ was a gamble, share price was exceptionally high based on a gamble, that all these years later has failed to produce anything. For those who lost out in that gamble, its bad luck!! The losses were mainly TMZ related.

FST is an investment, I do not expect to see silly prices.

“Anthony Sethill buying shares can only be a good thing and suggests optimism.”

Really? Let’s take a closer look at the facts. AS bought 50,000 shares for just under £40,000.

Total number of shares in issue as at 19 January 2017: 42,748,464, so he bought about 0.094% of the company – that’s less than one tenth of one percent. However, on the very same day (what a coincidence!), he was miraculously gifted 750,000 share options or 15 times the amount he bought. The other directors didn’t even spend a penny but JA was gifted 370,000 share options and paying shareholders will suffer a 6% dilution.

If the share price only crawls up to 160p (‘The options become exercisable providing the share price has been greater than 160 pence’) in the next 10 years (it was £4.10 when he became CEO in 2012!), AS will still get £1.2m & JA £592,000 on top of the £1.02million & £756,000 they were paid from 2012-2015 in salaries (before bonuses) AND their salaries for 2016 and beyond, but those who bought shares at £4.10 (10.25p) in July 2012 will still be holding massive losses and less than 40% of their original investment, thanks to AS.

The sickening reality is that AS buying shares is meaningless and suggests only a despicable smokescreen to hide the fact that AS & JA have wangled fortunes for themselves at the expense of shareholders!

Good post Felix. I am out of step with the current sentiment on the BB, because I am still optimistic for this year. DAB is growing, we are close to the 50% switchover threshold and the international market is expanding.

I also think we have to be patient with the smart speaker market as it is early days, but it could prove very lucrative. The disposal of Sensium was a shambles and a joint venture with one of the big players, where we kept exposure to its growth, would have been the best option, rather than the derisory future royalties percentage they ended up with. If Sensium becomes a global product then the CEO will look like the Decca boss who turned The Beatles down!

Anthony Sethill buying shares can only be a good thing and suggests optimism. We have to remember he knows more about the business and its prospects than we do.

U.K. Digital listening figures for Q4 2016. Now standing at 45% share & expected to jump in Q1 with Xmas purchase coming on stream. 73% of digital listening is via DAB, with DAB also showing fastest growth. This follows on the news of 800k DAB radios purchased in Norway since digital radio switchover. While there is excitement over the smart audio, which will most likely take longer than hoped to mature, we mustn't forget the appeal of the market leader in DAB chips.

Does anyone understand how the institutional investors let this company behave like this? This is not a rhetorical question.

[the drewster] 13/2/2017 09:21

There was the picture outside "Number 10" a while back, so another example, if one were needed, of missed opportunity.

[birkenhead] 12/2/2017 08:40

From Nod's link above: "The project, the first of its type in the world, has been jointly funded by a £1.8 million grant from the Wellcome Trust and the Department of Health, through the Health Innovation Challenge Fund, and is on target to have recruited 1,200 patients by April."

How can it be that TMZ only managed to get 250k but Isanys gets 1.8 million?

Also, "Every year in the UK there are 150,000 cases of Sepsis, resulting in a staggering 44,000 deaths and costing the NHS £2.5 billion a year."

One really does wonder how UK politicians & AS/JA manage to sleep at night. The two greedy parasites should have been lobbying & haranguing our cretinous government every day to get funds & resources to make Sensium work, instead of enriching themselves for doing nothing.

[nod] 12/2/2017 01:10

Another small company making good progress in vital signs monitoring is Isansys, which was a breakaway group from Toumaz, like many of us they were frustrated at the lack of pace deploying Sensium. Isansys has monitored 1,000 children in one UK hospital. It has also been used in India.http://www.isansys.com/eng/news.phpSmall companies can have an advantage because they are more nimble, flexible, responsive.

Birky, after reading your posts I find myself also disagreeing with Me ;-)

What a basket case

Was Ronald Coyne inspired by FST's remuneration committee & grant of options scam? ;)

[nod] 10/2/2017 11:43

While I was reading the LinkedIn profiles of the Sensium staff I popped over to Sethill and notice that his LinkedIn profile has him as CEO of Frontier Smart Tech for 15 years and 2 months to date. There is no gap for Toumaz. As the owner of the companies recorded on LinkedIn he can merge and change names, which is what he's done. In parallel he is also CEO of Frontier Silicon for 16 years. I think this tells you where his heart is. It was never at Toumaz.
