It means the market cap for the company, or the total market value of all the shares, is ₤2.67m.

Some 4.5p fell off the share price in the last week alone while 26.5p over the last 12 months means it has lost a staggering 73.61 per cent of its value.

The highest share price seen at Saints since Southampton Leisure Holdings PLC came into being was 64p just under two years ago.
