Just floated this morning on plus markets and looks very reasonably priced. 1.5 million raised at 35p per share. Market cap just over 6 million. Companys profitable and trades on a forward P/E to May 2008 of circa 10.7. Management team look sound and growth should be on the agenda. One to tuck away I feel. Well worth further consideration.

THREATS

Risk of large company
competition
An increasing use of tendering for
large contracts
Risk of non-renewal of contracts

Just what will drive this company forward?, from the Broker note..

The Business Drivers

General Medicals management believes there
are several drivers that will make private
healthcare, and private provision within the
public sector, a growth area over the next
decade.

First, increasing focus on health and safety at
work have forced companies to consider how
they can best demonstrate a commitment to
their staffs health. In the City, the provision of
health facilities such as those offered by
General Medicals Company Doctor scheme
shows a commitment by a client company to
work towards its employees wellness.
Companies can also benefit from a reduction in
staff absenteeism. Commuters who might
otherwise take half a day off to visit their NHS
GP are able to have their health issues dealt
with during a normal working day.

Within the corporate environment we are also
seeing a move towards flexible benefits, under
which employees can pick and mix benefits up
to a certain financial equivalent. Healthcare
services are an obviously attractive benefit.

Secondly, the NHS budget is shifting towards
a more flexible mix of public and private
provision.
This should enable General Medical to acquire
more contracts for walk-in centres or GP
practices if they become available. Both major
political parties are now committed to
expanding the role of private practice within
the NHS, so though there may be differences
of detail, there appears little political risk to the
major programme of reform.

Interims By 28/02/2007

General Medical also competes with a large
number of sole practitioners and small
practices. We believe that over time these will
tend to consolidate, and General Medical
intends to play a major role in this
consolidation.

Doctorcall has a similar business model to
General Medical but does not currently have
any premises in the City. It has a single clinic,
in London W1, and charges 180 a year for
private individuals membership of the scheme
above the usual level of charging at General
Medical. It also provides occupational
healthcare services. It appears fairly close in its
services to General Medical. It also operates
clinics in Bristol, Leeds, Edinburgh, Glasgow,
Newcastle, and Manchester.

BUPA Wellness offers an occupational health
service, and focuses on health checks for
individuals. It has over 60 centres UK wide, of
which 8 are in London including City, Bank,
Fleet Street, Barbican and Canary Wharf. We
believe it is probably the major single
competitor to General Medical within the City.

Netcare owns and operates private hospitals
and treatment centres in the UK. It acquired
General Healthcare Group in 2005, and now
has contracts for a walk-in centre in Kings
Cross and another in Leeds. It has over 200
staff in the UK. While focused more on the
secondary healthcare sector we believe it will
compete strongly in primary care, particularly
in APMS.

Tribal Group subsidiary, Mercury Health,
runs ISTC services. It has just opened a walkin
centre and GP surgery in Stamford Hill, in
partnership with the City & Hackney PCT.
Again, its involvement in primary care is
currently small, but we expect it to expand into
the field as more opportunities arise.

Solid sound results for the first 6 month period and bolt ons at an early stage. :)

GENERAL MEDICAL CLINICS PLC


Chief Executive's Statement

BUSINESS SUMMARY

General Medical Clinics PLC is a well established provider of primary care in
the City of London specialising in providing general practice, health screening
services, occupational health programmes, physiotherapy and nurse led functions
such as travel vaccinations.

The Company operates three private clinics and in 2005 won a five year contract
from the Department of Health to run an NHS walk-in centre at Liverpool Street
Station. This centre was opened in December 2005 as the first privately run
NHS walk-in centre in London.

The objectives of the Company are to increase the profitability of the existing
business, expand into other parts of London including acquisition of other
existing centres operated by doctors and private companies.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Turnover in the six months under review increased 18.7% to GBP 3,229,187 (six
months to 30 November 2005: GBP 2,721,475). Costs, operating expenses and
administrative expenses increased pro rata year on year, resulting in an
operating profit of GBP 220,908 (2005: GBP 26,671). (See Note 1 on page 9).

The exceptional expense of GBP 340,645 of which only GBP 56,816 represented
cash items, relates to the cancellation of the majority of outstanding share
option agreements. This was part of a wider exercise to restructure the share
capital in preparation for the equity issue in December 2006 and has led to
augmented long term shareholder return by removing the dilutive effect of these
options.

The application of FRS20 has masked the underlying operating performance of the
company. Operating profit excluding the FRS20 adjustment and the exceptional
item was GBP 215,096 (six months to 30 November 2005: GBP 194,471)

Basic earnings per share for the period before exceptional items and FRS 20
adjustment amounted to 1.86p on a fully-diluted basis compared to 3.72p for the
whole of the year ended 31 May 2006. Earnings per share after exceptional
items and FRS 20 adjustment amounted to a loss of 1.09p per share on a fully-
diluted basis compared to 0.02p per share for the comparable period last year
and 2.23p per share for the year ended 31 May 2006.

In the period under review approximately 60% of turnover was earned under
contracts with corporate clients and the Department of Health.

The balance sheet following the placing has cash deposits of GBP 1.3m and no
debt.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The steady increase in turnover since the acquisition of Finsbury Healthcare in
2004 and the opening of the Liverpool Street NHS Walk-In Centre in December
2005 has continued during the period as the demand for convenient and
accessible medical services grows. This is particularly evident in the City
but is an apparent trend in all areas with a high office bound working
population.

During the period under review investment was made in the operational and
management systems to position the Company for accelerated growth. Much
emphasis has also been placed on staff retention and marketing which are vital
to the future success of the business.

As a result of a centralised marketing effort the three medical centres at
Fleet Street, Finsbury Circus and Tower Hill have seen the collective number of
patient visits increase under the Company Doctor Scheme and other health
related services. The Company Doctor Scheme is the predominant area of
activity for GenMed and represents the future of these three centres in terms
of core organic growth due to the high quality recurring revenue. Of the 300
corporate clients, about 25% also purchase other services in addition to the
Company Doctor Scheme such as health screening and physiotherapy services which
both produce higher incremental profit.

The Company believes that the increasing focus by corporate institutions on the
well-being of their staff means greater commitment to personal health. A
challenge facing those at work is maintaining health without compromise to
professional objectives and employer demands. Many City financial companies
have recognised this issue and become clients of GenMed, thereby providing
their staff with unlimited access to a GP or nurse only minutes from work.

The Liverpool Street NHS Walk-in Centre has proven popular amongst City
travellers with over 10,000 patient visits in the six months under review. The
Department of Health pays GenMed in the form of a monthly retainer and a set
amount per patient for this nurse led centre, which handles approximately 90
patients per day.

Since the end of the six month period under review the Company has, as
announced on 11 January 2007, bought out the 25% minority interest in Walk In
Health Ltd, the operating company for the Liverpool Street NHS Walk-in Centre.

In addition to improved staff wellbeing, GenMed's clients have seen economic
benefits related to reductions in staff absenteeism. Commuters who might
otherwise take half a day to visit their GP or nurse are able to seek medical
attention more conveniently during office hours. Recent research estimates
that the average City employee is out of the office, on sickness related
matters, an average 7 days per annum; a cost which all companies strive to
avoid.

FUTURE STRATEGY

It would be impossible to talk about the six months under review without also
discussing the events leading to the Company's successful fund raising and
admission to the PLUS market, the planning of which commenced during the
period, with completion in December.

The Company set out its objectives in the admission announcement as growing
through acquisitions of small private medical practices, increasing their
services offered, and continuing to bid for additional NHS contracts. The
Directors believe that the sector is fragmented and, through the adoption of a
consolidation strategy, aim to position GenMed as the dominant operator of
healthcare practices in London.

The Board believes that through its PLUS quotation the Company's negotiating
position in relation to acquisitions would be strengthened and lead to an
accelerated programme of earnings enhancing and synergistic acquisitions.
Consequently, opportunities for acquisitions are being pursued especially in
and around London. Indeed, early stage talks have already commenced with
medical practices, which may enjoy the benefits of being part of a larger
group, including assistance in compliance with regulatory obligations and
enhanced marketing awareness.

GenMed is not confining itself to the City of London as opportunities exist in
other London areas such as the West End and Docklands where high concentrations
of office workers would suit and benefit from GenMed's business formula.

The Directors recognise the need to be active in terms of improving and
widening the range of services thereby appealing to a wider range of customers
and the Company is therefore actively increasing market penetration through
cross-marketing to existing clients

The Liverpool Street NHS Walk-in Centre is an example of GenMed's forward
thinking. The credibility afforded by this relationship with the NHS enhances
the Company's credentials whilst demonstrating a keen desire, across the
Company, to work harmoniously with the Department of Health and the local
Primary Care Trust.

OUTLOOK

The year ahead will see the customer base continue to grow, further news on new
services to complement the existing range of medical and health services and
continued exploratory talks with possible acquisition candidates.

The success of the PLUS admission reflects investor awareness of the market
opportunity available to GenMed as an already established and profitable
business. We welcome the many new shareholders who will take part in our future
success and we look forward with confidence to the year ahead.

General Medical Clinics - Interim results

Plus Markets newbee, General Medical this morning unveiled a robust set of interim numbers for the six month period to 30th November. The group, which provides primary medical care in the City, specialising in general practice, health screening and occupational health, unveiled an 18.7% rise in revenues to 3.2 million, with operating profits up ten fold to 220,908. The interim numbers contained a one-off exceptional expense of 340,645 relating to the cancellation of the majority of outstanding share option agreements. Excluding this item, basic earnings per share for the period came in at 1.86p on a fully-diluted basis. Including the exceptional costs, of which just 56,816 related to cash items, the loss per share figure came in at 1.09p.

GenMed operates three private clinics and, under contract with the Department of Health, an NHS Walk-in centre. GenMeds Company Doctor Scheme provides unlimited consultations for a fixed fee per staff member, affording the company a stable source of annual income, further enhanced by self-pay membership programmes together with walk-in services. Demand for GenMed's services is growing and in the year ahead, the customer base should continue to move ahead nicely, especially with the launch of new services to complement the existing range of medical and health products, accompanied with continued exploratory talks with possible acquisition candidates.

The steady increase in turnover since the acquisition of Finsbury Healthcare in 2004 together with the opening of the Liverpool Street NHS Walk-In Centre in December 2005, continued during the period as the demand for convenient and accessible medical services grew. This is particularly evident in the City but is an apparent trend in all areas with a high office bound working population. And so, supported by a strong balance sheet, which boasts a 1.3 million net cash position, GenMed is more than likely to expand its outlets in the coming months.

Excluding exceptional items, we see no reason why earnings won't hit close to 4p in the current year. A group that is well managed and operating in a high growth sector deserves to trade at a premium, and thus, the prospective pre-exceptional earnings multiple of 12 far from discounts the phenomenal growth potential. Furthermore, this is a company supported by a solid balance sheet, with more than sufficient financial resources to drive earnings forward via a carefully executed acquisition strategy. At 48p, General Medical Clinics is valued at 7.97 million and represents a resounding buy.

General Medical strikes health clinic deal

Pay-per-visit doctor surgery business General Medical Clinics has struck a cracking deal with travel health business MASTA. Having just acquired the status of "British Airways Preferred Partner" for travel health services, MASTA's tie up with General Medical Clinics' should further cement the latters' position as the leading clinic service in the City.

Today's agreement grants GenMed exclusivity for the City of London by way of a Partnership agreement. The nurse-led MASTA travel clinic will initially be operating out of the Fleet Street Medical Centre with a plan to open two more centres in the City. The staff will receive additional specialist training with regards to vaccinations, immunisations and detailed travel health advice. There are already 30 Partner clinics in the UK, with this number expected to reach 40 by 2010.

This exclusive agreement with a well known brand name will provide GenMed with an additional revenue stream and greater recognition. Clearly if a patient visits to have a vaccination administered, they may come back for other services too. Furthermore, MASTA's established in-house marketing structure will provide substantial exposure for GenMed at minimal cost.

And so to the numbers. Excluding exceptional items, we see no reason why earnings won't hit close to 4p in the current year. A group that is well managed and operating in a high growth sector deserves to trade at a premium, and thus, the prospective pre-exceptional earnings multiple of 11 far from discounts the phenomenal growth potential. Furthermore, this is a company supported by a solid balance sheet, with more than sufficient financial resources to drive earnings forward via a carefully executed acquisition strategy. At 44p, General Medical Clinics is valued at 7.5 million and is a resounding buy.

Buy Plus listed General Medical Clinics at 44.5p

A tip from Rebecca Turner, editor of the AIM and Plus Newsletter

General Medical Clinics is the latest in a line of promising companies to float on the recently revived PLUS market. The group, which is affectionately known as
GenMed by bulletin board luvvies, sneaked onto the market on the final business day of 2006, following a fundraising of 4.2 million shares at 35p raising 1.5 million. Having received a warm welcome from the investment community, who quickly snapped up shares following its listing; this profitable and fast growing company is now focused on beefing up its bottom line by capitalizing on the growing demand of private health
services.

Founded in 1998, GenMed now operates three private clinics, Broadgate Medical Centre, Walk in Health and Finsbury Medical Centre where it offers general practice,
health screening services, occupational health programs and physiotherapy. Its product services are provided in a number of forms, including private GP services and a Company Doctor Scheme where companies can pay a fixed fee to cover unlimited consultations for their employees. Its service is one based on convenience.
But its service is one that arguably adds real value to its corporate clients. For staff working in the City, GenMed offers in-house services for its clients, allowing employees to make the most of the services offered by the group without being absent from work.
On a financial level, these corporate contracts are a dream ticket.

Not only do they provide the company with an attractive income stream, but moreover, as payments are made a year in advance, the group can enjoy a certain degree of earnings visibility. Having recognized the importance of a reliable earnings stream, GenMed is now in the process of negotiating the extension of these payments for up to three years, thus creating visibility of earnings and sustainable revenues. Elsewhere in the portfolio, the privately run NHS centre has been profitable from its inception. This is mostly due to an agreement with the Department of Health to pay a stable monthly income stream to GenMed plus a payment per patient seen. Together with the Company Doctor Scheme, the Department of Health contract generates 40% of the companys total revenues.

In the year to 31st May 2006, the company delivered a 150% rise in pre-tax profits to 365,059. Revenues rose by 36% to 5.6 million. As at 31st May 2006, the company
had cash at bank and in hand of 260,926 and working capital of 95,061. Since then of course, the balance sheet has been boosted by a 1.5 million cash injection. Indeed, GenMeds stronger balance sheet was heralded by the companys move into profitability in 2005.

The plan going forward is to ramp up the profitability of the business by opening further centres in and across London. GenMed has already appointed a Director of New Business whose main job will be to strengthen the sales arm of the business by approaching new companies, strengthening relationships with its existing clients
and maximize the cross-selling opportunities between the different services it provides to its existing customers. The management has implemented cost management
procedures and performance indicators measurements to monitor the progress of the business, with IT systems also now in place that have integrated the three private centres with online internet booking systems.

For the last financial year, the group delivered earnings of 2.7p per share. This figure should comfortably be up to 4p in the current year, with the potential to grow earnings significantly over the coming years as further contracts are won and acquisitions completed. This is a business that has quite phenomenal growth prospects, limited only by the managements ability to convert opportunity into profit. The current 7.39 million valuation far from discounts GenMeds growth prospects. Despite its relatively short history of profitability, GenMed is in a fine position to deliver further growth and warrant a far greater valuation.

GF, delighted to say I have finally been able to have a look at this. Will definitely give it some thought. Many thanks also for you mail of several weeks ago, which I have also finally found time to look at.

No probs ST.

Glad to see you active and about.

Hope the general sell off hasnt caught you.

Thanks, GF. :o) I have made it back to England in one piece (although most of my stuff is buried in a pile of moving crates that will take me weeks to sort out!)

"Hope the general sell off hasnt caught you". Thanks; not enough to be damaging. Sold my SOLA last week, so that is the biggie out of the way. GNG took a bit of a hit today, but it has doubled in the past few weeks, so hardly surprising.

am trying to decide whether it's best just to keep my cash out of the market altogether for the time being or whether, for example, to have a pop at Entelos ahead of the results and then plan to invest the profits in GMCP for the longer term.

GF, didn't you mention one or two other Plus-quoted stocks a few weeks back that you thought were worth a look?

Re GMCP Broker Hardman have an inmminent update note. Ill let you have a copy once I receive it.

Hey, good news...looks like Patricia Hewitt can't cope with the current NHS. What a wonderful idea. I will be able to buy my milk,, vegetables and have a quick prostatectomy at Tescos, and gain extra points. It;s so good to know Patricia that the NHS is safe in your hands.



From The Sunday Times - March 18, 2007

Retail giants set to run GP clinics by David Cracknell and Sarah-Kate Templeton

TONY BLAIR is to invite retail chains including Tesco, Virgin and Boots to bid to run GP surgeries on behalf of the NHS with contracts worth 225m over five years. GPs will be encouraged to run clinics at breakfast time and in the early evening in poor areas where conventional family doctors have been reluctant to practise.

Blairs announcement, to be made tomorrow, is intended to ensure Gordon Brown carries on his reforms of the NHS after Blair leaves Downing Street.

The prime minister will respond to Tory claims that he has left the NHS in crisis by publishing his ideas for progressive reform of public services. He will allow GPs to link up with pharmacies and supermarket drug counters by sharing electronic patient records.

In an indication that he is signed up to the scheme, the chancellor will announce measures to expand the use of community pharmacies for routine treatments and tests.

Tomorrow Blair will publish the first of six policy review papers, on public services, in an effort to shift the emphasis away from producers to consumers.

Patricia Hewitt, the health secretary, will name the first towns to take part in the new programme. Extra family practices, walk-in centres and minor injuries units will be opened in Har-tlepool, Durham, Mansfield and Great Yarmouth. Other areas will join the programme in the coming months.

Contracts for the new services will run for an initial five years, with the possibility of extension.

Although there is no national shortage of GPs, there are many underdoctored areas in England and Wales. The four areas involved in the first wave have significantly fewer GPs per person than the national average of 57.9 GPs per 100,000 people.

The programme aims to attract a broad range of providers, from existing entrepreneurial GPs to social enterprises and FTSE-100 companies. Some extra GPs and nurses will be recruited for up to 30 health blackspots to tackle local shortages of doctors.

David Cameron will also focus on the NHS in a speech to the Conservative partys spring forum in Nottingham today. He is expected to say: It used to be said that Labour were the party of the NHS. Not any more. Labour are the party that is undermining the health service.

Theres a simple reason why. Its not because they dont care. But it is because of their values and philosophy: Labours mania for controlling and directing things from the centre; Labours pessimism about human nature; Labours belief that if people arent told what to do, theyll do the wrong thing. Labour just dont trust people. nThousands of doctors staged marches in London and Glas-gow yesterday to protest at reforms to the system of medical training.

They accuse the government of trying to disempower and degrade the profession.

Could certainly be an opportunity here for GMCP.
