Mediwatch-A World Leader in the Urology Diagnostic Sector (MDW)     

banjomick - 10 May 2007 23:36

*****This thread is setup mainly to gain information
relating to Mediwatch in a quick and easy way and IS IN NO WAY A
RECOMMENDATION TO BUY!********



Mediwatch-A Synopsis:
Mediwatch was established in 1996 and has developed a range of specialist
medical equipment for the diagnosis of urological disorders.The group joined the
AIM in 2000 through a reverse into Prostcare plc,which at the time was valued at
8m.While the vast majority of sales were generated in the UK,there was a
substantial indirect export business involving a number of agents,supplying into
Europe,North America,Australasia and Asia,notably Japan.
Group revenues are set to increase rapidly following the acquisition of the former
Medtronic Urodynamis Division,which has introduced a fundamental presence in
North America.The deal was in 2006 with the sales division building from 2007.
With the inclusion of the Medtronic systems now owned by Mediwatch they now
can offer a 'One Stop Shop' for the diagnosis of various urology disorders with the
benefit of Mediwatch systems having the ability to electronically send data from the
various tests to a central data base!Oh and plus the added bonus of PSAwatch and
now PCA3plus!

More than 30 million PSA tests are performed annually in the USA alone!

Just for the record and to even things up,this is Treblewide's view (near end
of 2008):


"in short 3p by chrimbo and a real chance if they do not get rid of management they
will go into receivership.....when they bough the MDT business I said at the time it
must have been a bag of shite as they only paid buttons for it.......looks like that was
fairly correct......i feel sorry for shareholders"

Treblewide has been filtered from my eyes for his abuse,lies and general behavior but
it's a free country (I think) so do as you see fit.


It started with:

Treblewide - 05 Jun 2007 15:49 - 33 of 1747
still short

Treblewide - 18 Jun 2007 00:24 - 69 of 1747
interesting stuff from that article...very few men die from prosate cancer and it is not an agressive disease....treatment can be worse than the disease.......kind of suggests their whole business model is based on sand to me.......but hey who wants a balanced view.

Treblewide - 18 Jun 2007 00:31 - 76 of 1754
exercise and sex may cause a raised PSA...so you guys may have stumbled on a test for fit shaggers :-)

I am gonna name Me-Di-Watch

Gonna-go-bust-soon-iwatch

Treblewide - 18 Jun 2007 10:59 - 85 of 1754
minder...i do not make light of prosate cancer....show me one post where I do...i make fun out of this company yes but not the disease so wind yer neck in pal.

show me any trace of a profit and i will maybe change my mind

Treblewide - 18 Jun 2007 15:54 - 97 of 1754
minder made a small loss yes which I have more than made up for shorting it........and i guess your average holding is 3p.....aye right.

Aalso I closed out my short at 8p for a loss of the spread if memory serves me correctly.

currently short from 13.25....i thank you and goodnight

Treblewide - 23 Jul 2007 12:36 - 154 of 1747
more of the same......thank god i still do not own shares in this lot...will they ever
make a penny profit....looks doubtful......cannot even manage a small supply chain.


ect ect ect

with the last few posts:

Treblewide - 30 Mar 2009 09:16 - 1704 of 1754
you are a lunatic mick.....words fail me.

and ps i only post under treblewide on any financial web site....i know you cannot say the same......you have been calling this as a buy and nothing but a buy for about 7 years...it says it all really about your stock picking ability

i notice the downtrend ins now establishing itself....re-visit of the lows again by the looks of things

Treblewide - 30 Mar 2009 22:41 - 1712 of 1754
mick no i dont know what each product does...i dont think that is important...the numbers tell everything and even though you must spend hours on web sites searching for stuff that is not even related to MDW you fail to grasp the basics...they consistently lost money and now seem to be making some...my call to 3p was correct and i think if they had not got their shit together they could have gone under

i was not interested in them as a long play while they were loosing money depsite whatever rubbish you posted regarding piss sticks or whatever you bang on about.

and yes it was poor trading..having an avergae of 12 and averaging down to 6-7p while they were at 3p....is terrible trading...that cannot even be debated...the very fact you know so much about the products means you have fallen in love with this company......which is very dangerous when investing....

the numbers are the important things...i was right on 3p, the company is posting slightly better figures but we are in a bear market which has not bottomed yet so the price will fall further

you are a 1 trick pony that posts irrelevant links...dont bother to respond i can be bothered getting into a debate with you.....away and cut and paste some more flags

toodlepip

**************************************************************

I have been chased from here and now ADVFN,has the boy got a problem?

treblewide - 3 Aug'09 - 14:46 - 22345 of 22412


post 22342 is classic.....so mick advfn is not a good source when the consensus is sell?

begs the question why you spend so much time polluting it with your bull tripe?

question....so MDW share price has gone up, it has gone down etc etc...during all of that time has mick ever been able to find any subjectivity in his posting ie has he ever critisised anything?

i really think he may be getting paid by MDW...the whole thing is very bizzare.

mick i notice you referred to your threads as "promotion of Mediwatch"

can you confirm if you are getting financially rewarded by the company for this?

treblewide - 3 Aug'09 - 23:55 - 22371 of 22412


664k overdrawn....takes a long time to pay back at 39k profit every 6 months.

drawn down overdraft has increased by 170k and they paid 33k to service that overdraft and made 39k profit...as i keep saying my local fish and chip shop make more money than this lot.

margins have been squeezed...psa watch now off the agenda in terms of updates....not 1 single reason to buy and yet you lot think this share price will go up??.....am mystified why it would increase? genuinely why is this comapny under valued?? i cannot see it and dont bang on about fairfax saying they are going to make x amount...they have never been near to getting it right

if i were a holder i would be selling now at 6p if i could and buying back in the 2-3p range which the chart is saying is now a certainty....i expecta full year loss

i told you all to sell at 14p and at 11p (it is all there in black and white) and that it was going to 3 pence..i got abuse mick called me an idiot and suggested it was going to 50p......still a sell and my short (which was posted in real time over the road) is nicely in profit.

toodle pip...will log back in when it gets to 3p....

treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 10:49 - 22379 of 22412


still time to get out at 6p.....dont understand why you would not sell at 6p when they are obviously going to half in value...if you are a long term mdw bull you can buy twice as many shares at 3p and maybe possibly one day see a profit on your holding?



treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 12:44 - 22381 of 22412


last chance to sell at 6p for your shares folks


treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 14:48 - 22387 of 22412


so question...is psawatch is so great...why has there been no huge surge in revenue figures from UK and Europe on the back of it being sold?

the whole reason a lot of you hold this is psawatch...it has not made them any money in Europe which could be argued when taken as a whole is not much smaller than the USA.....this company is not going to change overnight with US approval...at bets it would be a selling opportunity for long term holders

i really think a lot of you have to ignore some of the nonsense ramping going on here...the company is draining cash and there margins are reducing (despite this wonder PSA machine they have for sale)

i really think the future looks bleak for mediwatch...if someone can put in concise terminology why MDW is a buy i am all ears....dont point me at fairfax report...they are a bunch of clowns as well...that interim report is shocking and i mean really poor.

costs out of control...margins squeezed, cash running out...no real revenue growth, does this sound like a growth company to you?

sell at 6p


treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 15:50 - 22391 of 22412


god i have heard it all now...mick can you counter my points about declining margins and cash issues without nonsense posts about peopel having insider information...what a crock and what a clown.

so just so i have this straight in my head...when you put in effort to ramp these shares it is all great and you expect cuddles? (and if anyone disagrees you throw your toys out the pram liek an old woman)

when i put up a few posts to explain why i am short it is an organised attempt to get the share price down because i have insider inforamtion from the US?

were you the Iraqi information minister in a previous role? lol


treblewide - 5 Aug'09 - 19:24 - 22409 of 22412


lol.....shares getting sold today at 5.75.....next stop 3p...

treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 12:44 - 22381 of 22408 edit


last chance to sell at 6p for your shares folks




treblewide - 5 Aug'09 - 19:29 - 22410 of 22412


i wonder what thier overdraft is limited to....1M?

if so they have 12 months of life left at current perfomance...how many of you hlders have considered the chances of them going bust?....i would not rule it out...would love to know how much further the banks will let them go into debt before they pull the plug

treblewide - 5 Aug'09 - 19:37 - 22411 of 22412


seriously if i were a holder i would look at the interims and ask how much longer can they go on burning cash.......and with all the averaging down the bulls have done over the years i bet some are more exposed than they should be....good luck...think you might need it




ANYWAY

banjomick - 07 Oct 2008 00:23 - 1056 of 1785

As I said before the recent MDW webpage update that gives the 77 Global distribution network are made up of companies that sell all or a part of MDW's range with quite a few still being trained on the equipment to enable a knowledge base locally.

Optimed (Poland) appear to be well up to speed:

http://www.optimed.home.pl/urologia_uro.php

and even have their company name at the base of the PSAwatch PDF:

http://www.optimed.home.pl/pdf/psawatch.pdf

Edit-just noticed Elemental have theirs there too-lolz

banjomick - 07 Oct 2008 01:04 - 1057 of 1785

The distributors in France and Greece along with others are also showing,as they have been for some time,the near full MDW product range.

I'd better say something relating to the SP before Treble bites me hand off-lol

PSAwatch in UK and SP for tomorrow...........very hard to say with all that's going on but I would expect a little bit of blue but not that bothered really.Might see a spike upwards,say +10p with retracement or not,the SP could go down or not move at all.................it's called a long term view :-)


Under normal market conditions and from the chart that Treble so kindly posted the spikes are mostly from + or - news but whether the lack of FDA approvals for the USA market are still enough to dull the interest we will see in morning.

NOW THIS IS A RAMP-IF FDA APPROVAL CAME THIS WEEK-WOWZER-LOL


But seriously,I'm just happy with todays,yesterdays news for the time being as it shows to me that MDW are still moving forward and that's all that matters.I think the PSAwatch news will now bring further interest in MDW,from the media over the next few weeks and we will see MDW giving interviews within at least the health care media sector on all of their products and how they compliment each other and not just PSAwatch!

Treblewide - 07 Oct 2008 07:37 - 1058 of 1785

why would i grow up Mick? it is not me who is re-cycling news trying to make it look new in a vein attempt to persuade other people to invest in this rubbish to try and get your money back........very selfish and misleading of you.

but i forget your thread is just for your records....aye right


i think you need to have a wee look at yourself....

banjomick - 07 Oct 2008 08:28 - 1059 of 1785

Well,not much interest this morning but as said before yesterdays news shows to me that MDW are moving forward.

Treble,
It's the the content and manner of your posts that I find strange,especially when you have no position here!
I'm very relaxed but at the same time excited about the future prospects for MDW so why do you act like a child when you post?

Treblewide - 07 Oct 2008 10:37 - 1060 of 1785

i like how you suggest i acrt like a child beacuse i question your nonsense

tabasco - 07 Oct 2008 10:41 - 1061 of 1785

Treblemouth … lets be fair….Mick does have a point…I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt…Juvenile?

optomistic - 07 Oct 2008 10:55 - 1062 of 1785

Preobably the most important announcement that MDW have made and the market reacts with a minute rise and a 12.5% spread....well these are difficult times!

banjomick - 07 Oct 2008 12:02 - 1063 of 1785

Afternoon Opto,

Not wishing to split hairs but imo the most important announcement was the MDT deal but PSAwatch comes close.
The potential revenue prospects for the PSAwatch test strips is huge,yesterdays announcement is the start of this journey.

We should get some news soon on PCA3plus and the hospitals that are already using it within the UK,imo.

Treblewide - 07 Oct 2008 17:06 - 1064 of 1785

another new low

banjomick - 07 Oct 2008 19:17 - 1065 of 1785

just passing through,back later (before Treble starts....)

This is very interesting relating to PCA3:

Released: Tue 07-Oct-2008, 09:00 ET

Description

In a recent report, the collaborative research team from the Center for Prostate Disease Research at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) and Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) and Gen-Probe Inc., San Diego, Calif., showed a new promising prognostic utility of the urine PCA3 test.



"Remarkably, when PCA3 score was combined with pre-operative PSA and biopsy Gleason score, the area under the ROC curve for prediction of ECE approximated 90 percent. This study confirms and expands on findings from a recent report in the Journal of Urology showing that PCA3 score correlates with tumor volume and pathologic Gleason score. The PCA3 urine test therefore has potential to provide valuable prognostic information, and may help to determine which patients are candidates for active surveillance versus more aggressive treatment."

banjomick - 07 Oct 2008 23:26 - 1066 of 1785

Obviously I'm the only one remotely excited about yesterdays official launch of PSAwatch and the roll out of the PCA3Plus test!

From the Youtube video it can be seen that both Spire and The Princess Margaret Hospital (part of the BMI group) have been using PSAwatch for some time and these are major players within the UK!

PCA3Plus will take time to progress throughout the globe and is starting in the UK where the coverage will take in Ireland and possibly France.

banjomick - 08 Oct 2008 00:04 - 1067 of 1785

I think the lack of interest is due to the short term view and probably quite correct regarding PSAwatch!

As I have said before PSAwatch is still very new and will take time to gain acceptance so therefore the short term revenue prospects are very small.

I believe the NHS,if results from the private sector are favourable and I have no reasons to think otherwise,will take PSAwatch on-board within six months or so,just my opinion mind.Even this would equate to a relatively small amount of revenue but revenue all the same and consistant which is very important!

Other countries may or already are carrying out similar trials within similar time frames and this then puts PSAwatch in a whole new ball park! PSAwatch is then classed as proven tried and tested technology where looking from the other angle can be made part of a Urology suite!

The gaining of FDA approvals for PSAwatch opens up the treasure chest and further partnerships with Bostwick Labs,imo that will or could be then transposed across the globe as Bostwick Labs expand their network.

banjomick - 08 Oct 2008 01:01 - 1068 of 1785

Therefore,with FDA approval on the horizon and the possible global take up of PSAwatch to replace the long winded original method for this test then this is the big gamble...........if it takes off then by end of 2009 we could see 100 million PSAwatch test sticks being sold,not a ramp but just a legitimate projection with watchful waiting and all being highlighted as the way forward!

Not forgetting MDW's state of the art urology equipment which Bard are quite happy to nick the MDW Portascan and sell under their own colours but without the connectivity that the MDW range can offer for the small to large practice!

Not with standing that the directors of MDW are key players in this field with at least one a long standing member on or was on the UK NHS board to progress said division!Others have and do write key papers for progression in the field of Urology!

I'm very happy with MDW's performance and I hope in some small way that I have and will continue to help them reach their goal.

Treblewide - 08 Oct 2008 09:59 - 1069 of 1785

not on here to gloat as i do feel for holders....i actully do hope it turns around and the price starts to rise....good luck

optomistic - 08 Oct 2008 10:03 - 1070 of 1785

Treble, in your view what is the reason for the very weak sp, considering this weeks PSA announcement.
After all, this development could well produce 100's of thousands or indeed millions of profit to MDW.
opto

banjomick - 08 Oct 2008 10:12 - 1071 of 1785

Crikey!
More buys than sells and 12% down.
Happening across the board so not an MDW issue,just everyone very cautious at moment.

Still very happy to hold and wish I was in a position to buy but hey hoo.Will pop back at lunchtime.

Treblewide - 08 Oct 2008 10:30 - 1072 of 1785

opto...it has been coming for a few days now ever since the results to be honest which was a profit warning......the chart has been making new lows......i did not see any new stock market announcement this week just a newspaper article containing old news on products MDW have been counting revenue for a while on. i think we will see the 3p level sooner rather than later

as i say good luck

Minder - 08 Oct 2008 13:21 - 1073 of 1785

treble,
That isn't true that it is old news, PSAwatch has been CE approved and available but had not been launched until this week. The reason for the delay has been getting the consumable manufacturing sorted out and getting some mass production going before officially launching it, which would make business sense.

Treblewide - 08 Oct 2008 13:42 - 1074 of 1785

nonsesne...they said they had resolved production issues about a year ago.... if the information had a fundamental impact on the value of the company they are legally obliged to announce it to the stock market which they did not........that is an undebatable fact so as i say nothing new here despite what people would like you to believe.........lack of annoucement to the stock market means your post above is total nonsense

optomistic - 08 Oct 2008 14:41 - 1075 of 1785

Treble, yes the charts are making new lows but surely with this enormous PSA testing market opening up the charts could soon be moving the other way.
Thanks for your 'good luck'
