Some notes on TFF Pharmaceuticals $TFFP from the HC Wainwright call

20 mins long, link to call below

sessions.ct.events/tplayer.aspx?s…
This previous thread about TFF was conjecture and I think the Wainwright call gave some grounds to think it may not totally off the mark.

This is again the idea: Pfizer wants to get a powder version of the Covid vaccine in order to avoid the cold-chain issues and expenses associated with the first-gen vaccine Image
Here's my transcript of what the CEO said on the call last week Image
This is it with my emphasis - again, this is conjecture and just a personal interpretation but "vaccines that are currently on the market", "conversations, very exciting conversations" and "companies" - plural, all suggest to me that something may indeed be happening here. Image
It's worth listening to that call. Both this thread and the vaccine issue, should it come to pass, both overshadow what is really the longer-term opportunity here; one which comes in part because it's impossible to see past the name "pharmaceuticals" without thinking biotech
TFF isn't about a molecule, rather it's about engineering: freezing molecules so they can be turned into powder and inhaled, applied topically or even rubbed into the eyes. It seems clear they've cracked it: it works with everything tried so far and things are starting to happen
More from that call, again with my emphasis.

Whilst I think TFF stands a fair chance of becoming a licenced platform for various drugs, for the here and now it's about Covid - and after that call, it might not come as a complete shock if they announce something here. We'll see Image

Summer 20: investment co with a one holding - a REIT - gets rid of its directors after the REIT collapsed into a zombie.

Sep 20: new management, new investment: a software company with 23% pre-tax margins

Nov 20: 60% growth, big client wins

Implied valuation today <5x sales Image
There are no other numbers, this is everything there is.

The holdco is called Drumz #DRUM a £2.4M cap
The zombie is a listed REIT called KCR
The software company is called Acuity Risk Management

I have it at an implied trailing sales of ~4.9x ex £500K holdco cash and ex zombie Image
Acuity's product is called STREAM, here's how they describe it:

STREAM is a cyber security and risk management software used by organizations globally for ISO 27001, GDPR, NIST and many other standards

In short, its not a nice-to-have for big companies

TLDR: headlines like the below may be masking something interesting at ReNeuron - a medical platform business

As #MXCT and $CLPT show, these sell high

Direct NASDAQ comp valued 5x higher

#RENE platform has an imminent catalyst, which may be derisked.

proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news…
Disclaimers as follows:

- I am far, far out of my lane looking at this
- The comp lives in a bubble market
- This is 100% based on crude pattern recognition
- Market appears to value #RENE for other aspects, so
- This may not work even if the idea proves correct
So, #RENE may have what may be one of the Next Big Things: a platform for the cutting edge of genetic medicine - the comp lives off that alone.

In English, they use "exosomes" to try to get mRNA and CRISPR molecules past the blood-brain barrier into the brain. See below Image

Tiny, UK AIM co in specialty chemicals: specifically "sustainable polymers"

At best this usually means 1 client and a test batch; at worst, magic beans

But Itaconix #ITX is neither and it's rather mispriced: it sells at margins that rival the best in the world - and in size
It may actually be very mispriced; estimates are clearly too low. All in part because it's off the radar.

It's another find by @dopamine_uptake who pointed it out to me after reading on IP Group - some holdings of theirs caught his eye and of them, this one really caught mine.
I'll get straight to it. HY20 end October.

We see revenues up +80% on the previous year's half and they're not far off equaling the whole of 2019's revenues.

Gross margin: 37% - this rings a loud bell

Loss making. Image

Now a £35M cap, a fortnight on

It's one of those small UK if-it-were-listed-in-the-US companies. Bidstack #BIDS and it puts advertising into major online games

It's rocketing - and there are some grounds to think that in quite short order it may be about to turn into a firework
"May" and also:

- history of over promising and disappointing
- very much a AIM small cap
- burns cash
- will place and dilute
- has share price on homepage
- Glassdoor is not great
- emoji issues when discussed
*But* it may now be delivering for real. If so it may also be extremely cheap. How cheap?

20H1 was 2x sequentially and 10x YoY

It may be about to report H1-H2 sequential growth of 5x.

If so, FY20: 10x YoY.

Fwd 21 rev multiple? Perhaps half that number, perhaps even less.

Iceberg might have a point here

$WW is Weight Watchers
Don't worry, not going on a bender with filings

T9M figures last 4 years. Yes it's a bit stagnant in the numbers and costs up / profit down a little etc but the COGs numbers are roughly consistent. You could imagine a jump in revenues flowing through quite well.

2018 was Oprah
Fair to guess lots of New Year gym sign-ups are postponed or never happen and more NY lose weight / get fit resolutions than usual find their way here instead?

Cashflow behaves roughly the same. More SBC, bit more capex.

Resolution: no drink and no showing how I read accounts, so grab a bottle of absinthe and let's look at $TRIT

A mysterious stranger appears from a foreign land.

"Play me the music of your people", you ask

It's like nothing you've ever heard but it's everything you've ever felt
You fix the stranger in your gaze

"Where did the cash go?"
"Onto the balance sheet, it is the custom of my people"
