UBS AG buy 8,825,000 6.7%

eSensor LAUNCHED!!!

FDA clearance for Cystic Fibrosis DNA Test

Sales of the eSensor instrument and CF test will commence in the first half of 2006 as planned.. .

James White, CEO of Osmetech said:

'Gaining FDA clearance for our first microarray based test developed for our new eSensorTM molecular diagnostics instrument is a major step forward for our Molecular Diagnostics Division and will help to establish Osmetech as a key player in the fast growing moleculardiagnostics market. In addition, this FDA clearance helps to validate our microarray technology for routine use in the laboratory.

Critical Care DivisionThe Division has a strong product portfolio and is well placed to continue the growth of instrument placements throughout the world, leading to revenues from proprietary consumables for a number of years to come.Sales of OPTI instruments and consumables remained strong resulting from increased sales of the new touchscreen version of the long-established OPTI (CCA). In 2006 we will start to see an important contribution to sales from the new OPTI LION portable electrolyte analyser and the OPTI R blood gas and electrolyte analyser with reusable consumable as these products are rolled out internationally.'

Molecular Diagnostics DivisionFollowing FDA approval of the eSensorTM platform Osmetech are now looking to progress discussions with strategic partners who are looking for cost effective and easy to use instrumentation and consumables to work on other complex assays both in the healthcare and non healthcare markets. The next Osmetech Molecular test targeted for FDA submission will be the CYP 450 pharmacogenomics assay, which is currently in development.

James White, CEO of Osmetech commented:

'We have been delighted with the rapid integration of the CMS business acquired in July. The powerful combination of the eSensor product together with OPTI GENE provides Osmetech Molecular Diagnostics with an excellent position in this rapidly developing and growing market sector. Both products remain on schedule for launch and revenue generation in the first half of 2006'

Sales to year end up over 40%

Osmetech has reported a strong rise in sales in the latter part of 2005 with growth driven byabove-forecast revenues at its Critical Care blood gas analysis division.. Sales for the Critical Care division in calendar year 2005 exceeded $14.7m, representing an increase of over 60% compared to the calendar year 2004. Approximately half of this overall growth is due to sales to veterinary distribution partner, IDEXX Laboratories, Inc.

Vetstat Exceeds Idexx Expectations

Sales of the VetStat electrolyte and blood gas analyser have been very encouraging and continue to exceed expectations. IDEXX's sales successes and continuing marketing efforts should result in further strong growth for the foreseeable future. As the installed base of instruments becomes established, revenues from proprietary consumables are expected to increase as a proportion of this veterinary business. Following a deal with leading US vetinary hopsital chain Banfield, Idexx are contracted to supply an additional 450 Vetstat devices over the coming year.Good progress is also being made with IDEXX on the development and supply contract to create a new platform for measuring critical care parameters based on Osmetech's proprietary optical fluorescence technology and consumables. It is anticipated that this market leading product is on target for launch late 2006/2007.

Still getting all these trades at 3.5 going through. They look like sells but given the quantity traded if they were sells the price should be down not up.

micram - 19 Jan 2005 17:56 - 124 of 242

micram 1 mill buy 5 mill sold today anyone know?

windys160 - 20 Jan 2005 07:25 - 125 of 242

spoke to david sandilands from osmtech invester relation last week interim due in two weeks sounds like it will contain some positive new re vetstat product, he said they have not released any new about the product as it was idexx promoting the product so any news about the deal will not come out until osmetechs interim comes out but was very keen to say that the news flow from osmetech about deals and products will come as i siad to him that the news flow from them is few and very far between his reaction was to say that so companys will release news to say it is wednesday as it were has with osmetech they would only release new when they felt the timing was right was the company and sharholders alike whatever that is supposed to mean ;o when i asked about a possible conslidation of shares again he said it would be possiblity in the future but only be to done the benifit of the company and to the shareholders so let's wait and see, with plenty of products on offer from this company the prospect bold well and let's hope that they don't consoliadate for a few years to come.

windys160 - 20 Jan 2005 07:26 - 126 of 242

sorry about grammer still half asleep

DITCHPIG - 20 Jan 2005 11:39 - 127 of 242

micram,
Don't take the trade quantities at face value. Over the last few month there have have numerous large trades made at 3.5 quite often T trades. There is a suscpicion that it could be Elenora adding to their pile again.
If the volume of shares traded at 3.5 yesterday had been all sells then most certainly the price would be far lower than it is now.

windys,
thanks for that.

babykitcat - 20 Jan 2005 13:47 - 128 of 242

DITCHPIG - 20 Jan 2005 23:45 - 134 of 242

babykitkat,

DITCHPIG - 20 Jan 2005 23:50 - 135 of 242

Bangers, are you reading? Can you give Mr Kitkat a chartist view?

babykitcat - 21 Jan 2005 00:13 - 136 of 242

DP what a year we COULD be install 4!!! thanks

babykitcat - 21 Jan 2005 08:02 - 137 of 242

still cant get a firm price!!! DP any ideas

bangersmam - 21 Jan 2005 08:45 - 138 of 242

Kitcat.
Charting these smaller stocks is best kept simple. Oscillators like RSI, Stochastics etc are generaly used in conjuntion with each other to find short term entry / exit points but only work well on more actively traded stocks. Small stocks like OMH can go on being 'overbought' (RSI 70) or 'oversold' RSI 30 for days or weeks therefore giving false signals. Far better to keep it simple and use price, volume, moving averages and MACD.
Hope that helps and its just my opinion.
All the best
