Tror en deal är nära men man vet ju aldrig…
Ronny Skuggedal: And here Of course is one regarding the fimaNacc and Astra Zeneca…( PW chugs som water) . Why did you wait until after the end of first half before the extension of the agreement with Astra Zeneca, you must had known that before end of june.
PW: Ehh, i think I would like to start to say that we actually provided an update late in march around buisness developing activities and that We saw due to the pandemic a general slow down in those buisness developing activities.
There was, we had an experimental period that lasted until the end of last year. . There was quiet a alot of analytical work that had to be done in the begining of 2022, ehh 2020. And we had some delays in these analytical work both due to covid and another item .
So the results was later available than planned in 2020. Now (cough) to the regards to a press release and to announce something, press releases needs to be aproved by Astra Zeneca, and reviewed and this is a rigid process in of course a company like that. The same with agreements (looks down)and we cant announce anything until we have an agreed press release and we have an wet ink agreement so we know what really , is, has been agreed. And that there is now way back.
So all of this taken togheter impacted this, so the evaluation period needed to be extended, we wouldnot , we were not able to do the evaluation, finish( looks down), Astra Zeneca were not able to finish the evaluetion in such a way that we could announce this, eehh before the end of june.
