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.

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.

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.

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

D Wong ....to take up top-job at Galleon [GON] - presumably to-do to their sp what he's done to MDY.
Pitty MDY did not think this needed an RNS - if he goes, the sp will only get better.

These are high risk volatile stocks which could move sharply higher or move sharply lower in my view, but will almost certainly not stand still. Names on the radar include: Medisys, Aukett Fitzroy, Network Technology.

moneyplus: Ouch is appropriate. Judging by the timing of this, it looks clear that Medisys will become a "clean" shell with adequate funds to be invested wisely. I would not be surprised if after the shareholders give approval for the "sell off", a secondary offering will be planned. With a clean cash shell, it will not be long before predators circle. This could prove to be a longer term winner.
