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.

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

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

Hmmmm,I still maybe reading too much into this but are we going to see an Insti. be able to buy a 7.82% stake in MDW at these levels tomorrow and another hmmmmm for good measure :-)

The MDW website has been updated yet again and this time it's the 'Company Information' page where the addition of 'Windsor Urology' and possibly the 'British Prostate Centre' can be seen,hmmmmmmmmm.

I was only looking at the Windsor site t'other day and this wasn't there!

"We use the PCA3 score in addition to PSA to determine the risk of prostate cancer. PSA results are available within 10 minutes of testing using the new PSAWatch. Finally we have the da Vinci S Surgical sytem from Intuitive Surgical to offer robotic prostatectomy for men with prostate cancer."

http://www.windsorurology.co.uk/

Gliding back to post 1118 and along with the 'British Prostate Centre' website:

http://www.britishprostatecentre.com/contact

So,Nuffield are offering the PSAwatch test which is great news as the chain is owned by Netcare Ltd who if their website can be believed:

"Netcare Limited, a holding company listed on the JSE Limited, operating through its subsidiaries, the largest private hospital networks in South Africa and the United Kingdom (UK),"

Looks good to me................

http://www.ramsayhealth.com.au/

What's the betting that Bostwick Labs will be building their next lab in Australia or training an existing Lab to enable the PCA3plus test to be performed?.............just a guess though.

"Worldwide, more than 670,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. The highest rates are in the USA, Australia, New Zealand"

PSAwatch gets a mention over in Italy 20 October 2008 (translated):

"In the meantime, scholars point out the importance of early detection, which can be obtained by targeted examinations to be performed when pathologically detected an increase in prostate-specific antigen, namely Psa, in the blood. Even on this front is an interesting novelty, useful for those who must regularly measure the values of this parameter in the blood, as happens to those who are being treated for cancer of the gland. In recent days was launched in Great Britain a test that measure the substance in the blood in just ten minutes from the several days needed today. The new test, called Psawatch should also make it easier to diagnose the disease in time, allowing you to reach a rapid recognition of the tumor and then a more immediate for the sick.

wow a website update!

This is quite interesting and relates to the Mediwatch Encompass purchased by the Dept.of Veterans Affairs in September 2008.

"The proposed contract action is for the Mediwatch Encompass Pelvic Floor urodynamic testing system for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 'Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements'. The use of a brand name specification is essential to the Government's requirements and precludes consideration of a product manufactured by another company. The VA has a requirement for a urodynamic testing system with advanced analysis capabilities and integrated patient information. The equipment must use the Windows operating system and Microsoft Office applications to export reports and data to allow the results of urodynamic investigations to be captured into the VA CPRS system."

https://www.fbo.gov/index?tab=core&s=opportunity&mode=form&id=d26cdf0b61ca8485022b4cb90ad49ed1


The Solicitation Number: VA-261-08-RQ-0366 from the above matches the order placed through the FPDS site which shows the order "Prepared Date: 09/28/2008 22:24:48" and "Date Signed 09/29/2008"

Also from the link above:

"Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received prior to September 19, 2008 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.

This solicitation VA-261-08-RQ-0366 is issued as a request for quote (RFQ). This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-26. Only emailed requests received directly from the requester are acceptable. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) number is 339112 and the business size standard is 500 employees."

If we then wander back to the FPDS page for the ordering of the Encompass we see an Est. Ultimate Completion Date of 01/30/2009 which implies a four month direct charge contract,usually the Est. Ultimate Completion Date is about a month after the 'Date Signed',hmmmmmm

I nearly forgot to come back and look at what exactly the 'VA CPRS system' mentioned above was although I had a pretty good idea.

"The Department of Veterans Affairs award winning electronic health record -- CPRS (Computerized Patient Record System) software is available for you to download and run. Simply follow the instructions for installing the client software below and begin using CPRS today. Download this latest version of CPRS today and get access to new features including graphing functionality. Use the software as if you were a provider by entering orders, entering documentation, retrieving reports (and graphs) and viewing alerts and notifications that help with decision support."

So,that's another bonus! :-)

Dated 2005 and from our NHS regarding the Veterans Health Administration:



The Benefits of a Single 'National' Health Record Have Been Demonstrated

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) uses its $21 billion budget to operate the largest complete health service system in the United States. Over 25 million service men and women are eligible for VHA care; five million of these received care in 2003, including three quarters of all disabled and low-income veterans. VHA currently employs approximately 180,000 health care professionals at 163 medical centres and hospitals, more than 800 community and facility-based clinics, 135 nursing homes, 43 domiciliaries, 206 readjustment counseling centres and various other facilities.

http://www.connectingforhealth.nhs.uk/newsroom/worldview/protti4

Reading the above I am sure MDW are kicking themselves as much as investors are on the time it's taking to gain FDA approvals for PSAwatch/Bioscan,maybe the recent 'Official Launch' in the UK and subsequent feedback from the UK will help matters,who knows?

The partnership with Bostwick Labs (USA) may help too.............

There is no reason that I can see that will prevent FDA approval it's just caught up in the process which for a medical product has to be a good thing...............I suppose! grrrrrr and a :-)

Of interest relating to VA and CPRS (Computerized Patient Record System):

Department of Veterans Affairs Fiscal Year 2009 Operating Budget

2. Implementation of Computerized Patient Record System

"The Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) is a system for storing and using electronic health records for veterans currently used by USDVA. The system has garnered much attention and praise for its use of an electronic system to track health records, developed with extensive involvement of front-line health care providers. In fact, Harvard University recognized USDVAs computerized patient records as one of the top 50 government innovations of 2006. Subsequently, it won the prestigious Innovations in American Government Award, presented by Harvard Universitys Ash Institute for Democratic Governance and Innovation at the Kennedy School of Government and administered in partnership with the Council for Excellence in Government and honors excellence and creativity in the public sector. The CPRS allows USDVA to provide better, safer, more consistent care. It permits health care professionals at each of the 1,400 locations where USDVA provides care to see the complete health records of any patient. In Maryland, Charlotte Hall would be the appropriate agency to implement this program. Using an electronic system for records would enable doctors to more easily transfer files for patients and allow diagnoses to occur remotely without the patient having to leave the facility."

http://dbm.maryland.gov/dbm_publishing/public_content/dbm_search/budget/fy2009budgettestimony/d55p00_dept_vet_affairs.pdf

Going off on a slight tangent but it interests me,there is or would appear to be a trial ongoing comparing "a new technology called the Integrated Medication Manager, which is designed to facilitate improved decision-making about patient care.This project will compare the new Integrated Medication Manager to the current version of the Veterans Administration's Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) to assess differences in patient outcomes and to evaluate provider satisfaction and adoption."

Study Start Date: August 2008
Estimated Study Completion Date: March 2010


So a long way off but with the world getting smaller by the second electronically and the interest shown by the NHS in post 1162 regarding the VA CPRS system it's worth a mention.The NHS have a new system I believe but I'm not going too far down this road,it's just posted out of interest really.

I think I've bored the pants off the whole of MAM now,oooooops and g'night.
