I'm sure the company is sincerley sorry that they will not be issuing the options again. I am sure that they are greatful for the extra money ($160,000) for fully subscribing to the options re-issue last time. That money has gone a long way to paying our Managing directors wages for the best part of the last 5 months. I'm sure he sincerley appreciates this.
As far as a funding announcement is concerned, I am sure the company knows that everyone in Australia knows all about some announcement regarding funding, but you would think they honestly don't know where this rumour has come from. If they did announce a funding deal soon, it is by no means related to the rumour, because they run a very tight ship and they dont leak any information that is not disclosed to the market.
They are striving to deliver wealth to all shareholders.
