Since no institutional investor would consider investing in a company that behaves this way, that also has no independent board members to provide oversight and operates in a country whose corporate watchdog is even more ineffective than ASIC, the only people who can soak up these shares are the aforementioned dumb Aussie retail investors, who usually only have shallow pockets. This may continue for years.

It all comes down to the level of scruples of the current management. If they operate the business honestly the SP will rerate - eventually. FDA approval should generate a little interest.

If they're not honest, all they need to do is set up a private distribution company, sell the gloves to themselves for the cost of production (so shareholders get none of the profits) then sell to end users via the distribution company. All the profits then go into their pockets, legally and (as long as they maintain a controlling interest) with no recourse for retail shareholders. That's how easy it is. And note that they've made a point of declaring the company to be an OEM manufacturer supplying to unnamed distributors, not end users.

So we're just hoping that people we know nothing about who live in another country will act in our best interests. Cross your fingers and GLTAH.

Agree with all of that.

But I'd also add the following things that cannot possibly make the share action/lack of interest a surprise:

- the pump and dump in August 2020
- the suspension from trading on 1 October 2020
- the notification on 27 November 2020 that the company was being sued because of an allegation that it "had denied the plaintiff the right to receive a placement of 74.5m shares in the company at a price of $0.04 per share"...any coincidence the share price is about that level now???
- that the share price activity was already suspect folloiwng the dump in August 2020 (before the announcement on 18 September 2020 about the 40m gift of shares)

It's all in the hands of management to turn this sh!t show around - underneath it all (if honesty prevails) there is a decent and growing business.
