*****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!

FUTURE EVENTS AND LATEST
NEWS

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:

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

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

http://mediwatch.blogspot.com/

Obviously the updated header with scrolling functions that I did t'other day caused todays drop. :-) There was bound to be a few taking advantage of the 60-70% rise and good luck to them.

I believe the next event MDW are exhibiting at will be this Thursday,unless I have missed one since Arab Health.

The 13th Annual Update in Gynecologic Urology
The Westin Aruba
Palm Beach, Aruba
February 5-7, 2009

http://www.northwesternevents.com/profile/form/index.cfm?PKformID=0x2775a27b


Edit-Just to give a bit of information regarding 'Gynecologic Urology' the Wiki explanation will suffice and demonstrates where MDW's equipment comes in:

Gynecologic urology

Urinary incontinence in women is a common problem. The complex anatomy of the female pelvic floor with reproductive and urinary organs positioned close to each other makes women susceptible to developing problems in this region of the body. Thorough knowledge of the female pelvic floor together with urodynamic skills are necessary to diagnose and treat these disorders. Depending on the cause of the individual problem a medical or surgical treatment can be the solution.

I'll just lob the Pakistan distributor website here to remind me to keep checking as this is a pretty new site that keeps going through various stages of 'construction' and as this country makes up roughly 2.5% of the global population (top 6) it's therefore quite important........

UNIVERSAL ENTERPRISES

Posted this over on dark side so will add here:

I do wish Interkardio (India) would update their website from the old MDT equipment to MDW or if they have changed manufacturer (which I doubt very much) update this too,then I can add them to my 'flag' system of distributors! :-)

http://www.interkardio.com/urology.html

Especially so when you read articles like this:

'Cancer no longer synonymous with death'

New Delhi, Feb 3:

"With newer technologies and targetted drugs, cancer if treated in the early stages is no longer synonymous with death, say doctors. At any given time, there are about 2.5 million patients living with cancer in India.


In India, one million new cases of cancer are reported every year. Despite these figures, doctors are optimistic about the cure and treatment prospects of cancer patients."


"There is tremendous scope for cure now, unlike early days. In the US, Stage I and II cancers once detected have a 65 percent cure rate, even Stage III and IV cancers can be dealt with."

"The motto should be - catch it early, treat it early. Now we focus on two things, mainly to prolong the life, that is add years, and secondly to add quality to life," Vaid said.

"For men, cancer of the lung is very common in places like Bhopal, Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Kolkata. In Bangalore and Chennai, cancer of the stomach is extremely prevalent. Prostate cancer is another leading cause of cancer among men in India."


"People should shun tobacco in all forms, they should lead a healthy life, must report symptoms to their doctors and go in for periodic checks," Vaid said.

Sports stars warn of disease threat

Date: 03 February 2009
By Greg Christison

SPORTING celebrities will today help launch an awareness campaign for a health threat that men are often too embarrassed to talk about.
Craig Levein, the Dundee United manager, and Chris Paterson, the Scotland rugby internationalist, have taken part in a film alerting people to the threat of prostate disease.

http://news.scotsman.com/latestnews/Sports-stars--kick-off.4938883.jp

This is a pretty funny video while at the same time getting the serious message across too!

Craig Levein's cheeky backing for prostate cancer campaign - watch the video here

Feb 4 2009 By James Moncur

Dundee United have firsthand knowledge of the tragedy of prostate cancer after the death of chairman Eddie Thompson last October at the age of 68. The multi-millionaire retail tycoon had battled the disease for several years.

Levein said: "This is a subject very close to the hearts of everyone at the club after what happened to Eddie Thompson and I was only too pleased to help.

"We want to get the message across to young men that prostate cancer is a killer but if it's caught early enough it can be treated very successfully."

He added: "The video was great fun to make although the nurses forced us into a number of different takes of me in the hospital gown.

"I only wish we'd filmed it 20 years ago when I was in slightly better shape."

Time to Prostate-Specific Antigen Nadir Independently Predicts Overall Survival in Patients Who have Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer Treated with Androgen-Deprivation Therapy - Abstract

Thursday, 05 February 2009

To the authors' knowledge, this was the first report to demonstrate that a faster time to reach a PSA nadir after the initiation of ADT was associated with shorter survival duration in men with metastatic HSPC. These results need confirmation but may indicate that a rapid initial response to ADT indicates more aggressive disease.

Former Gap Band singer recovering from cancer
Thursday, February 5 2009 | 3:42 p.m. CST

He's best known as the lead vocalist for the Gap Band. Now Charlie Wilson is raising his voice to narrow the knowledge gap about prostate cancer.

http://www.columbiamissourian.com/wire/article/96871/


The company plans to grow by acquisition or by partnership deals as well as by organic
means. The company has a strong urology franchise which will attract industry partners,
who can enhance its product and distribution offering and expand its sales. Mediwatch
already has partnership deals with leading urology players such as Bostwick Labs (UK
launch), Inverness Medical (manufactures strip for Bioscan Reader) and Bard (in
Ultrasound).
There are plenty of opportunities to acquire similar companies because the urology
diagnostics market is so fragmented. The company will only make acquisitions if the right
opportunities arise at the right price. An acquisition is more likely to focus on product
extensions rather than distribution; however there are parts of the US market where
Mediwatch could benefit from additional distribution. The company would evaluate
acquisitions principally on cross selling opportunities and technology benefits, cash flows
and cost saving potential.

Steady away type day.......which is ok by me.

Just a reminder that the Medilink UK Awards 2009 take place on the 16th March.Whether they win or not it must be classed as good publicity especially when it coincides with:



Medilink West Midlands Medical Healthcare Awards
23 October 2008

The awards, which celebrate the most impressive business achievements in the Midlands thriving medtech sector, are sponsored by Advantage West Midlands and supported by ADF Insurance. They were presented to five companies at an awards ceremony at Birmingham Council House. The winning companies will go forward to the national Medilink UK Awards in February.

Mediwatch UK Ltd, which supplies a range of point of care diagnostic devices, beat strong competition to take the Export Achievement award.


"MedilinkWMs CEO, Tony Davis, said: The Medical Healthcare Awards have been a spectacular celebration of the innovation and enterprise thats on show in the West Midlands. Its testament to the hard work, passion and innovation of companies in this sector that so many important technologies are represented here, many of which enable medical staff to treat patients even more effectively they really could help save lives. As a growing sector, medical and healthcare companies are attracting the best brains in the region.

If I get chance tonight I'll make a list (click-able to website) of all the distribution companies that don't make it onto the 'flag list' due to the fact that they are still showing MDT equipment.This will make it easier to see when or indeed if they get updated.

Spain-Synmed

There are more but I've stopped for tonight

I think Meditec Venezuela C.A. can be added to the 'flag' page:

This site gives prices of various MDW equipment and it's interesting that both Medtronic and Bard get a big thank you.If I remember right the reason the Bardscan is cheaper than the Portascan is due to the Portascan having greater functionality to enable the integration between other MDW systems.
