This ones a heck of a specualive investment but it seems that the institutions are willing to stomp up the cash to back it in the long term.

Heres the latest news from Killik stocbrokers on the company..........

MEDICAL MARKETING Joint Venture

We recently highlighted Medical Marketing (MMG) as worthy of attention. The company, in which I have a personal share holding, has this morning announced the formation of a joint venture, Genvax, to develop a novel DNA vaccine platform technology.

Human trials have been underway since 2001 in areas such as Lymphoma and Myeloma but the technology has broad applications in cancer, viral and bacterial infections (hence the term platform). The technology works on boosting the immune system by teaching it to identify hard to recognise cancer proteins as foreign and destroy them. Early results from the 25 patient trial in lymphoma are encouraging and evaluation of the result is expected by March 2005. Successful results should mean big pharmaceutical groups will start to take financial and commercial interests around that time.

This looks to be the first of a series of announcements due from Medical Marketing as it has a range of predominantly cancer trials moving into the clinical stage. (news flow could push the price higher)

The stock has made good progress in recent sessions up to the mid-80p level where the company is valued at just under 40 million. ENDS.

Please DYOR

A little light relief:



Cawkwell ousted over share row
Robert Lea, Evening Standard
28 September 2005


INFAMOUS share trader Simon Cawkwell has had his brief career as a listed company director abruptly ended after he was found to have broken Stock Exchange rules.


BANNED: Simon Cawkwell's brief career as a company director has come to an end

Cawkwell - known in the market as Evil Knievil - broke stock market trading regulations by buying shares during a prohibited period in Aim-quoted Kryso Resources, where he had been deputy chairman since last year.

It has emerged that Cawkwell was forced to resign from his only public company role after an almighty row in which the Tajikistan gold prospector's City financial adviser issued a 'me or him' ultimatum to the company.

Stock Exchange filings reveal that Cawkwell bought 100,000 shares in Kryso at 11p on 26 August and another 250,000 at 11.3p on 30 August.

The share purchases were, according to the filings, to be held in trust for [Cawkwell's] brotherinlaw Paul Darlow, a Crown Court judge. But the purchases breached the listing rules of Aim, the lightly regulated junior stock market.

The rules dictate that directors cannot trade shares in their company during a so-called closed period. In Kryso's case, directors are barred from trading between 1 August and 30 September or when Kryso reports its interim results.

Cawkwell was forced to quit after an ultimatum from Kryso's nominated adviser or 'nomad', Brett Miller of Ruegg & Co.

Kryso finance director Craig Brown admitted: 'There was a falling-out as a result of the share transactions in which Simon was shown to be non-compliant [with AIM's listing rules]. Words were exchanged and the nomad said either Simon goes or he does. Simon went.'

Cawkwell today admitted: 'I should have been more careful. I had got it into my head that the interims weren't due until November and that we weren't in a closed period.'

The shares were bought by Cawkwell's broker when Cawkwell says he was incommunicado on holiday in Norfolk. Cawkwell, however, is scathing of Miller's role in his departure: 'He is an ill-mannered, silly little man who out of a minor matter has invented a great trouble,' he said.

Miller declined to comment. Kryso shares today opened at 11p, showing a notional profit of 1825 on the share purchases.

Since resigning, Cawkwell has bought another 200,000 Kryso shares and claims to have taken a 500,000 share 'buy' spread bet with a bookmaker.





THE self-styled Evil Knievel has built up a legendary status among the legions of day trading share punters.

When Cawkwell moves on a stock his actions are minutely dissected on investor website chatrooms.

Having made a huge reputation with big stock market bets, often controversially 'short-selling' companies to make a profit on falling shares, Cawkwell, 59, has been compared with a Bond villain - a baddie of capitalism moving share prices for his own end from his London lair.

Though an inveterate gambler, Cawkwell says his investment decisions are based on the fundamental health of companies' balance sheets using his qualified accountant's eye.

However, his decision last year to become a public company director shocked his followers. 'The term poacherturnedgamekeeper does not begin to describe it,' said one commentator.

Cawkwell is holding out hope of a return to public-company life at some stage. 'Some people may think I am a scallywag but they are misinformed,' he said.




mandafund - 28 Sep'05 - 10:54 - 6384 of 6385


As predicted by Telecomstrader on Monday we have news and what interesting news it is. The downfall of Cawkwell will give cheer to many on this board and holders of MMI.
Many thanks Optimist

Evil Kneivel has fallen off his bike....lol

EK has shown that he is willing and able to bend any stockmarket rules, he should be banned from all kinds of dealings

EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

Significant and exciting progress towards our objectives
As your board we recognise that it is our duty to create shareholder value. As a
pharmaceutical development company, MMI's business model is to identify
world-class medical research that has the potential to treat unmet need in major
therapeutic markets, markets such as cancer and infection. Developing those
technologies to the human proof-of-principle stage and ultimately licensing them
to major pharmaceutical marketing partners.

Last year, I said in my report, 'The prospects for the coming year are the most
exciting in the Company's history'. We have not been disappointed and I am
delighted to report that during the past year our portfolio of therapeutic
products continued both to grow and to progress towards and through the clinic,
adding significant value for shareholders and attracting global pharmaceutical
company interest.

Strong and progressive pipeline development
We reported the first clinical trial results for our Genvax lymphoma vaccine and
other Genvax clinical trials for myeloma and prostate cancer are underway and
progressing well. We showed in laboratory tests that our Oncosense portfolio of
ruthenium anti-cancer drugs is more effective and safer than the market-leading
drugs based on platinum. We demonstrated that the Viratis novel anti-viral
ribozymes appear to be effective against hepatitis as well as AIDS and we added
to the Viratis portfolio in the fields of rheumatoid arthritis and asthma. In
addition to technical and clinical progress, we also saw six further patents
being granted during the year.

Taken together, all these successes mean that we have a strong and competitive
pipeline of therapeutics, several of which have the potential to be blockbuster
drugs. We also expanded our relationships with academia, thus providing an
enhanced ability to secure more exciting technologies. These facts have been
recognised by a number of potential marketing partners, including a number of
the world's top pharmaceutical companies.

Heightened market interest
Investors, both institutional and private, also began to recognise the value in
MMI's pipeline. Between 31st March 2004 and 31st March 2005 the share price grew
by 287%, outperforming both the AIM (26% increase) and pharmaceutical (0%
change) benchmarks. During the same period, the value of your company grew from
29 million to 120 million. Measured against our objectives, I am satisfied
that we had a good year. Nevertheless, there is still a considerable way to go
until the significant potential of the Company is realised. Further clinical
trials and licensing agreements should have an impact on this valuation.

Funding the development
The planned progress with our pharmaceutical pipeline meant that research and
development costs increased by 31% over the previous year and patent costs rose
by 414%. In addition to these largely external costs, these developments placed
a considerable extra workload on the MMI team, which was increased in size,
resulting overall in an increase in underlying administrative expenses of 11%.
During the year we took back sub-let space in our Bioscience Innovation Centre
and fitted out three additional laboratories that were required primarily to
carry out the development work on the ruthenium and pineapple protease cancer
therapies. These plans, which were announced in the previous year, led to an
expected reduction in rental income of 65%. However, by allowing other companies
to use surplus capacity in our laboratories under our LabHotel trademark, we
were able to generate income to help offset these costs and we were also able to
contract with six global-leading equipment suppliers who have provided us with
their latest ranges that we can use free of charge for our own developments and
which we can allow other companies to use on a fee basis. Tek-check our
technology audit product for academic institutions also provided us with income
as well as being a source of new technologies for our portfolio. Genvax, for
example, was a direct result of our technology audit work for the National Blood
Service.

Although the main focus and value-driver of MMI is the development of our
pharmaceutical pipeline, fee income from LabHotel and our due diligence service
Tek-check, together increased by 49% and, as well as being strategically
relevant, helped to maintain the low cost of our business model. There was no
Tek-check due diligence income from the BioScience VCT in the second half of
this year, and the outcome of recent changes to the board of the Fund may have
an impact on future due diligence workload. We are monitoring this situation
closely. Overall, turnover remained at 2004 levels.

Operating losses for the year are down by 17%. The loss in the previous year
took into account the 589,710 impairment of our CellFactors investment, in
which MMI had a 17% stake, after that company was placed in administration. The
administrators have now liquidated CellFactors, but after their costs, it is
unlikely that there will be a significant distribution to shareholders. We have
learnt from the CellFactors lesson and MMI now funds the activities of all its
subsidiaries. This enables us to increase our equity stake, and maintain a much
greater level of control over the activities of these subsidiaries than was
possible with CellFactors.

With the continuing support of our major institutional shareholders, we ended
the year with a 49% increase in cash reserves and remained debt-free. Following
the year end I am pleased to report that existing and new institutional
shareholders have indicated their willingness to support our ambitious
development programme. Details of this will be announced separately.

Cancer and HIV - unmet need on a global scale
Although there has been much scientific progress in recent years, cancer remains
the most common form of premature death in the western world, affecting one in
three, and killing one in four. Worldwide, over 40 million people are now
infected with AIDS and there are some 300 million chronic sufferers from
hepatitis B. There is clearly much more to be done and during the coming year we
expect to see more of our cancer therapies enter or complete clinical trials.
The results of these trials may influence both pharmaceutical company interest
and the valuation of the Company. We also hope to be able to make further
progress across other aspects of the portfolio with our potential therapies,
especially those for AIDS and hepatitis in the near term and with those for
rheumatoid arthritis, asthma and drug-resistant infections in the medium-term.

A strengthening board and shareholder base
In anticipation of MMI becoming a much more valuable player in the
pharmaceutical sector, we significantly increased the number of presentations of
the MMI story to financial institutions and this led to a strengthening of our
shareholder base. We also took steps to strengthen the board of directors and Dr
James Brenton (41), a consultant cancer specialist and Cancer Research UK Senior
Clinical Research Fellow was appointed Medical Advisor and is due to join the
board as part-time Medical Director at the AGM. James is highly experienced in
running clinical trials with platinum-based cancer therapies and his expertise
will be invaluable with our ruthenium clinical trials. Rob Sprawson (35) will
also join the board at the AGM as full-time Group Finance Director replacing
John Hustler (59) who has been part time Finance Director since 2000. In
addition to his accountancy experience, Rob has nearly a decade of experience in
financial transactions in the technology sector and this skill will be extremely
useful in our licensing negotiations with major pharmaceutical companies. I look
forward to introducing the new board members to you at the AGM and I would like
to take this opportunity to thank John Hustler for helping to get us to where we
are now, and also to wish him well for the future.

There are two groups of people without whose support the significant progress we
made during the year would not have been possible. Firstly, I thank the team of
hard-working professionals in MMI who know that they are not only enhancing
shareholder value but are also intent on making an impact on the treatment of
serious diseases. Secondly, and most importantly, we all recognise that our
progress is dependent on the continuing support of existing shareholders and the
additional support from new ones. On behalf of the whole MMI team, I thank all
shareholders and I look forward with them to seeing the full potential of MMI
being realised as we stand poised on the edge of a new era for the Company.
