"The ASX doesn't care about what product a company has, they care about Independent Expert reports saying it is the best widget since sliced bread, NOT what the company proclaims it to be."
I strongly suspect that your knowledge about what the ASX does and doesn't care about is only exceeded by your knowledge of the intimate workings of the FRG tech & the chemistry therein.

"Purifloh had 4 days (Friday afternoon to Tuesday morning) to prepare an appropriate answer..."
Correct. However, ASX doesn't work weekends (they barely work on weekdays).

"The ASX don't need to understand anything about the tech at all,..."
That's what's so ridiculous. ASX doesn't require solely independent verification in all instances.
If the source of the statement is clearly stated and verifiable, they have plenty of latitude.
How is it that the morons allowed PO3 to make the release in the first place?

Anyhow, I'm not fussed and definitely not concerned as to whether the company will trade again.
Feel like taking me to task on that also???
