Hopefully not to many listened to the clueless rampers here like Stephanie M

Crazy how much the managers were paying themselves in the run up to NGG going bust!

The FSA should ban them from further roles for encouraging paid broker notes just before suspending and winding down the company

Bad luck folk who invested

I suspect the directors will now pick up the pieces for nothing with one of the major shareholders' backing instead?

It was a dummy sale. I need these at £1.40 to break even Chesty, as I bought a load at a silly price pre-consolidation.

New honcho appointed & buys in at £1.00. Price prior to news 70-75p. Seemes odd he would pay £1 for stock he could have got at a 30% discount in the market, therefore market speculates that he may know something. Also not much free stock about. When a sub penny share this would have massive volatility.

With a positive attitude one can get very far - thats my experience. And NGG is surely an interesting company, not to mention its products. Wait and see!

Hi Bobby

To respond to your question - NextGen's share price seems to have gone up on news that it is registering IP for its biomarkers which can diagnose and track the progress of early stage dementia. The news should be on the RNS section of this website if you want to have a look.

NextGen Sciences launches multiple protein cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) CNS disease biomarker assay



London, UK and Ann Arbor, Michigan, US, 21 June 2011 - NextGen Group plc (AIM:NGG) is pleased to announce that its US-subsidiary NextGen Sciences Inc, a leader in biomarker discovery, measurement and qualification, has launched its first cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) multiple protein (multiplex) assay, csfdiscovery43, for central nervous system (CNS) biomarker discovery and qualification. The assay simultaneously measures 43 human CSF proteins that are thought to have potential as biomarkers in CNS diseases, particularly Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis and ALS diseases. The launch of csfdiscovery43 is the next step in NextGen Sciences strategy of becoming a leading player in the growing CNS and oncology biomarker markets.



NextGen's assay is based upon its multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mass spectrometry platform, and generates high quality reproducible data that companies can use in their drug and diagnostic development programmes. In addition to the CNS disease focus, the assay can be used for early-stage biomarker discovery and qualification in other disease areas e.g. traumatic brain injury (TBI). NextGen expects to continue to add proteins to the csfdiscovery43 assay, in addition to developing other disease-focused assay panels, both as proprietary products and with other companies through partnerships and collaborations.



Klaus Rosenau, Chairman and CEO of NextGen Group, commented, 'The release of csfdiscovery43 is the next defining step in the development of NextGen Sciences' biomarker business, following its reorganization and release of the plasmadiscovery41 assay in Q1. It demonstrates that we have once again delivered on our plans to develop multiplex protein assays that will help to establish the company as a market leader in biomarker discovery and qualification using its MRM technology. Importantly, this enables us to further target increasing market share from the $600m mass spectrometry based biomarker discovery market. We believe that pharmaceutical, biotechnology and diagnostics companies need high-quality assays relevant to their disease areas to inform their decision-making processes, and NextGen Sciences is currently working on the launch of more such products.'

Weve got a plug here.

It looks like Tom likes us.

The discovery that points to biotech's incredible revival...

(This article first appeared in Penny Sleuth on 10 February 2011. Penny Sleuth is an unregulated free e-letter written by Tom Bulford and published by MoneyWeek Limited)



2010 was the year of the junior miner.

Every week saw some plucky explorer score unbelievable gains. But this year is likely to be different, and I've got my eye on a few other sectors that I think could see fantastic successes in 2011.

I've talked about food stocks and the remarkable recovery in UK manufacturing. But one sector that is really beginning to look exciting is biotech.

Dormant for years and abandoned by investors as a non-starter, biotech looks to be on the cusp of a thrilling revival. After a string of dramatic announcements in recent months, it seems that investors have discovered a newfound enthusiasm for these stocks.

Just look at what happened this week when drug researcher SAREUM HOLDINGS (SAR) revealed news of another exciting breakthrough...



The discovery that points to Biotech's extraordinary revival

On Monday Dr Tim Mitchell, Chief Executive of the Cambridge based drug researcher, reported that its Aurora+FLT3 Kinase programme had, in a pre-clinical in-vivo study, appeared to slow the progress of cancer.

Ten leukaemia patients were treated with this compound and their 'leukaemia regressed to such an extent that no detectable cancer could be found in any of the cases treated'. By contrast for those who did not receive Sareum's compound their leukaemia 'increased five to fifteen fold'.

That was enough to send Sareum's share price multiplying. Having drifted along for months at a price of about 0.25p, the shares took off, hitting 1.65p the following day and 4.79p on Wednesday. It has slipped back a little today. But those lucky enough to have been holding the shares and smart enough to have got out at the top could have multiplied their money nineteen-fold in the space of just three days.

No less impressive was the extraordinary volume of shares that were traded. On Wednesday 1,142,362,883 Sareum shares were traded, representing over 80% of its entire issued capital, and the excitement spread elsewhere.

• Oxford-based PHYSIOMICS (PYC) has developed a simulation platform that can show how a tumour will react to drug exposure. It saw its share price surge from 0.25p to an intra-day high of 0.68p

• The US company NEXTGEN (NGG), which offers a suite of services that can increase the traditionally low success rates associated with biomarker development, flew from 0.11p to a high of 0.53p

• VALIRX (VAL), which focuses on the epigenomic analysis and treatment of cancer (the epigenome consists of chemical compounds that modify, or mark, the genome in a way that tells it what to do) almost doubled to 0.53p

This is an extraordinary revival for a sector that has been languishing for so long that most investors have given it up. But you need to be very careful here...




A sector shot through with risk - and scintillating rewards

A cure for cancer is the equivalent of finding a river of liquid gold. But still, the biotech industry is fraught with danger. It eats up money, and genuine successes are few and far between.

A few years ago high hopes were held for ANTISOMA (ASM), also a company looking for successful cancer drugs. This week it was described as a company 'that develops drugs that do not work'. That's a harsh but fair verdict on a company that has seen its share price sink from 36p to 2.2p over the last twelve months.

Those who rushed into Sareum are already being brought face to face with some of the realities of biotech life. Today the company took advantage of the surge of interest to tap shareholders for £500,000, through the sale of 500m new shares at a penny a time.

And a more careful reading of Sareum's Monday revelation shows that 'at six weeks following treatment, no detectable cancer could be found in two of the ten examples dosed with the Sareum compound. In the remaining eight treated examples, the average time taken for the leukaemia to increase five-fold was six weeks, compared to two weeks in the untreated cases'. So while Sareum's treatment seems to have some advantages over others, it appears to limit the spread of cancer, rather than kill it off completely.

How marvellous it would be if Sareum had a cancer cure! But shareholders should prepare for a long and bumpy ride. Biotech research is a laborious process. While successful developments in this area often improve upon existing therapies, few provide a total cure.

In time Sareum will need to find licensing partners, most probably big pharma companies with deep pockets. As big pharma cuts back on its own research spending, it is increasingly looking for small biotechs to do the early work, but the big boys do not move fast.

I agree with your last comment doc. The thing with NGG's share price is that it increased by 600% in a matter of minutes not long ago, which brings out strong emotions in holders and this makes the share price prone to over reaction. Holders now "expect" a repeat of this kind of share price "ping" and as well because not too many shares are out there. I also agree with you in that fund raising is always a possibility. You can never foresee this.
