I do understand the Sells ... if you want quick returns IMO this isn't the SP. People also may have expected news by now. Personally I'm not selling a bean and will wait this out ... as I believe there is value here at 18p a share.
Yes any dips and I will top up more here! Just waiting for that RNS ... exciting times, just hope we are not let down here
Hey cperkin ... its a waiting game now ... Chinese distributors etc agreed, we now wait to see volume of orders in pipeline - agreement is up front cash payment on initial orders. IMO I am hopeful of a good response and then momentum. This is the nervous period for me! The SP will probably fluctuate as MMs shape things - so movements - / + 3% don't really concern me at this stage as not based on RNS or factual releases/events. I think our wait will be until late Feb/early March though, so a few weeks of crossing fingers to go. All IMO of course. GLA
It is estimated that the global mobile health market will be worth $23bn in 2017(1), and it is growing fast: by 2020 it will be worth $61bn(2). Concepta is a key player in this emerging segment having developed a product that focuses on “unexplained infertility” and helping women who suffer from it to conceive. In just three years, the company has been able to develop an innovative testing platform, obtain product registration and - following a successful listing on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) on 26th July - is now ready to start commercialisation. A substantial minority of women struggle to conceive despite many months of trying. And, if doctors cannot find anything physically wrong, these women are usually faced with lengthy periods of worry, insecurity and anxiety. Because they are not typically offered medical assistance until at least a year of trying for a baby unsuccessfully, and aren’t offered IVF until two years have passed, there is a significant period in which these women may feel they aren’t taking enough proactive steps to conceive. Concepta’s flagship product, MyLotus, measures common issues that can affect a woman’s probability of conception in any given cycle. These issues can vary from cycle to cycle, and when properly accounted for, can reduce the time taken to conceive whereno cause of infertility has been previously identified. MyLotus provides quantitative as well as qualitative results, which is unique for a home fertility test of this kind. Excitingly, this is only one of many potential future applications for Concepta’s platform. Pharmaceutical companies could use the technology to more effectively monitor patients administering drugs at home – this would be particularly useful as part of clinical trials or to ensure that dosages can be more finely tailored to individual tolerances and requirements. Likewise, government healthcare representatives should see the value in using this kind of technology to reduce healthcare reliance and hospital admissions by encouraging better health at home. Indeed, indications suggest that in 2017, mobile health could save a total €99bn in healthcare costs in the EU.(3) The fundamental issues that the Company’s products address are universal and the consumer proposition is unique. Further, a modular manufacturing set-up means flexibility for future applications. Britain’s vote to leave the European Union briefly cast some doubt over the timing of the Company’s float, however this concern was unwarranted and the share issue was oversubscribed. Concepta is at the forefront of a huge growth market within consumer healthcare, and through its clear route to market and the potential for its technology, the investment case is clear to see.

Hoping for a positive RNS on China in the next few weeks
It should be a fun QTR for sure, GLA. I will keep an eye out for updates/articles and post on here. Strong day for buys yesterday (although I never trust the buy/sell chart as can be very subjective/miss leading - not that I don't trust the MMs ...). Stick to the facts and logic - solid plan, milestones being methodically ticked off
14:36 08 Dec 2016 The women’s infertility treatment group Concepta plc (AIM:CPT) has announced it's signed a 10 year lease for its new manufacturing facility in Doncaster, Yorkshire. CEO Erik Henau tells Proactive: ''Opening up the manufacturing facility is preparing us for the big launch [of myLotus]. We have announced in the past that we're near commercialisation with our first market being China so opening up the facility is preparing us for growth''. Henau said they've also appointed Kevin Su Wei as their China Country Manager, based in Shanghai Everything looks to be on track still which is very positive. Personally I am looking at March as the really exciting month for this SP, if we can continue to see small rises until then then I am happy. Everyone loves a BLUE day hey. IMO if the product is high quality and delivers results then this will take off in China, which should make UK/EU entry easier providing we pass the QA and regulations. What I like about CPT is they clearly have a solid plan and they are sticking to it. All IMO. GLA.
Erik Henau, chief executive officer at UK- based Women’s Healthcare company Concepta (LON:CPT), discusses the ISO13485 accreditation the group received for its myLotus fertility product with Proactive Investors, ahead of targeted commercial launch in the UK and Europe in the second half of this year. "It is the first step in achieving compliance with the European regulatory requirements," he says. "On the one hand it's a key approval of what we do and how we do it, the consistency in all operations, and quality throughout the organisation, but it is also a requirement if you want to sell medical devices." "It is really key for an organisation to achieve this, and in the short time since we have gone through the AIM Market which was at the end of July. So it has been a record achievement for our small start-up business," Henau points out.
Agreed! It is a quiet one ... but quietly confident! Hoping for a good year for this SP and company. My take is that if MyLotus takes off then we may become a takeover target for one of the major players. Just IMO. Really wish everyone the best of luck with CPT hopefully its a fun ride ...
Have been tracking Concepta for a few months now and everything looks like it is coming together. I'm not expecting major movements in SP until around March/April when hopefully the orders from China start to come in. I have a modest holding and target price of 0.30p initially (latest broker ratings I have found have £0.26p). The recent ISO RNS gives confidence that we can get full EU/UK approvals in H1. As with all shares its a gamble/risk - but based on the fundamentals looking good and all the right steps being taken I am confident on a return here. All IMO and DYOR. GLA
