Medisys reported a 'considerable improvement' in trading during the first four months of its financial year, and said the business has been cash-flow neutral for the year to date.
The medical products company said competition in its core long-term care blood glucose monitoring business has not intensified. A drop in sales amid intense competition in the market caused a fall in sales and profits last year.
Sales volumes have recovered to previous highs by cutting prices and offering various promotions, Medisys reported this morning.
Margin improvements have been achieved faster than originally anticipated, it added. The company has benefited from cost saving measures implemented in the second half of the last financial year and cost reductions for its proprietary biosensor products.
Meanwhile, it has completed the development and manufacturing scale up of the first of the new systems it has designed for Menarini, the fifth largest worldwide branded marketer of blood glucose monitoring systems.
While the launch date is not yet clear, (Around March 1) Medisys predicted that sales of the products will be one of its key revenue growth drivers in the current financial year.


LATEST ON MDY V'S ROCHE COURT CASE
MDY V'S ROCHE COURT CASE Case IS Dismissed. http://www.moneyam.com/InvestorsRoom/posts.php?tid=8721#lastread
My apologies for any one that was on MDY it looks like we have been stitched up like a kipper the sale of Hypoguard blood glucose monitoring business at that price looks like an sp of 3p against the close of 6.4p what can I say no one could have seen this coming a total sell out and that is what I have done.

Menarini have some very strong contacts

I cant believe I missed the boat on this. Is there a 12 month guidance on this?

I'm hoping we're heading back towards the 1.40 the sp was back before the troubles-it's looking good!! I intend to keep adding when I can anyone agree??

You havent missed the boat MDY have not yet officially launched their new product there is plenty of upside to come.

mp
140p would be nice, possible in a couple of years may be.

When is the product going to be launched. and is there any substance to this takeover rumour...where can I get a full profile on this company..

thesaurus

Thanks driver....I will watch this closely and see if I can take a position at 6p

Alot of people taking profits today, can now buy at 5.9p

moneyplus/driver I think it will be a long time before we reach 1.40
That was in the Dot-com lunacy days, when folk put a zero behind any co valuation (sometimes two)....and their strength was this retractable needle which was going to supply the whole of America.
Well we are wiser now, we know the existing suppliers won't give up and they will have a suitable alternative that is cheaper and better. That's why MDY dropped the needle business.....it was too expensive.
Now we have a co that mainly supplies diabetic kit and they aren't alone, so price and performance are tops - it's true they have a sales outlet with WalMart but these on-going sales did nothing to stop the rot to 2p recently.
This company is too secretive IMHO and it's run from the centre......just ask yourself where (or when) the next "must-have" product will come from? Since 2000 they have been surprisingly quiet.
The benefit of a 3x profit is the reason the sp is falling today, but I'm hopeful that when they get their act together the sp will be into double figures, but 1.40 looks pretty unlikley to me.
Why do you think it will reach earlier highs?

hangon
We don't that was me and mp having out little dream, I agree with you that the sp will be into double figures this year that's why I have just topped up on the dip.

I'll switch back to pcm dreams then driver! still holding MDY though. new buy EPE looks good to me check it out.

mp
You have gone Chinese mad why dont you buy a take away and be done with it.
P.S PCM 50P dream on.

EPE and EBT and EPY because there are millions of chinese customers now gaining access to mobiles etc and they are also great gamblers so that's why I've bought some BTX plus they are very keen on education which is why I've bought CEG and EPE. I like China Biotech-just because I do !! MP's chinese tracker could be a cracker!! still like Mdy and Ert.

mp
have u tried CREO yet? any idea where it is going

Too expensive for me but in a good area if there's a chinese housing boom-I'm hoping that's the way my minnows will go up-up -up! cheers MP

Guys

If you work out the No of TypeI and Type II diabetics in the UK it looks like
someone will sell about 32M boxes of strips/year in UK
lets assume that the average price is about 15 ie 480M in UK alone.

Lets assume that of the 7 NICE approved suppliers of strips to the NHS, menarini are crap and can only get 5% of the market.....24M, (even though they are selling at a 25% discount to the others), and that MDY get 30% of that.
MDY sales on very soft assumptions 7.2M or $13M

That is UK. In France, Italy Spain etc menarini are No1 or 2.

Work it out for yourselves........is 6p expensive or cheap?



Completely off topic but a good read

If you want China have LDC at lest your bets will be spread. They hold stakes in the company AND get paid as company advisers and fund managers. Three legs to the stool

Mark
Thanks for your visit, as you say the revenue from the sale of the strips is potentially massive as the strips are throw away can only be used once and must be used with each monitor. Yes 6p for MDY shares are starting to look very cheap.

I think 6p seems too cheap and I'm still thanking you for showing me this one driver. marksp-thanks for telling me about LDC-I'm almost embarrassed to tell you I'm in those too as driver is beginning to think I'm a china junkie!!
