Those who have been following my pieces about Aquis lobster-potted spinal product outfit TruSpine (TSP) will know that it hasn’t met a single target ever set since listing on Aquis and its balance sheet is currently a wreck.

At the end of February the company announced that an alternative lender had been found to cough up £200,000 at 12% interest – rising to 20% if the loan is not repaid by 31 July 2023. It was nowhere near enough to see the company through, as shown by its update a few days later. But was there another, much larger, offer on the table – which was or is being ignored?
