Ultrasis - IS this the next tripple bagger performer (ULT)     

mcsquares - 13 Aug 2003 17:03

Over the past three months I, probably like most have benefitted from the movement in small micro - cap stock that have risen heavily on increased liquidity. The next stock, despite having benefitted from a massive surge in share price back in April, that I have focused on is Ultrasis. This company is poised to secure the ever increasing Mental Health Market both at home and in the US (Several lucrative contracts already announced)through its suite of highly effective software.

The companies web address is as follows http://www.ultrasis.co.uk

I for one have gone heavily into this stock and am prepared to wait for the realisation of its potential to kick in .I would advise others to do so

Have been with this since early March - topped up as well in between . Normally with the news likes of yesterday it would shoot up like first week in April it was 1.29 - looks like at the moment markets are jittery and not many want to plunge.

Lots of sales today - any one has any news ???

iturama - 20 May 2005 11:06 - 227 of 359

Although all shown as sells, 0.65p and above are buys.

I am still in on theses although down at the moment, no problem they tend to take of when a juicy announcement is issued.

robinhood - 20 May 2005 12:26 - 229 of 359

Have been in and out of these shares (by luck at the right times) but reckon once the pep/isa sellers are out of the way by 23/5 and the aim listing is a fait a compli that this share will be worth buying again as NICE announcement in July should be good news

I agree, but the pep /isa sellers, do not have to sell just open a new account.

robinhood - 20 May 2005 14:35 - 231 of 359

i know, but reckon that quite a few won't bother as the sp has not been performing very well and will just liquidate position.

slkhlaw - 20 May 2005 15:36 - 232 of 359

I don't see a sound plan behind an online health product, but nevertheless, it does sound really cheap. Considering the fundamental behind the company, it is almost implying that it has no right to exist in the first place with very bad track records for any earnings at all for the past few years. I am very skeptical of putting my money in this (I got burnt on this a few years back when it jumped to 0.77p, at the peak I bought it, and nose dived down to 0.30p weeks later). I bet same happened this time, 1.2p then nose dived back down again. Perhaps, I should wait till it bottom up at roughly 0.33 - 0.40p then I would dive in again? Need a very very long strategy on this one.

I understand your concerns, they are going to the Aim Market, and going to raise money, to be put to good use we hope, but with the new appointment of DIRECTOR OF SALES I am hoping that new orders will be flowing, I think punters should take a position and add on a price drop.


New Appointment Announcement

ULTRASIS APPOINTS NEW UK DIRECTOR OF SALES

Director of Sales in order to harvest increasing market potential. Assuming his

NICE RECOMMENDATION FOR 'BEATING THE BLUES'

Beating the Blues, the flagship product of leading UK based interactive
healthcare company, Ultrasis plc, has been recommended for use as a proven, cost
effective option for treatment of mild and moderate depression in an Appraisal
Consultation Document produced by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence
(NICE).

PILOT COULD PAVE THE WAY FOR BEATING THE BLUES IN THE US

A trial providing a non-drug alternative treatment for patients with depression
in the United States could yield significant opportunities for Ultrasis plc. The
pilot project, which goes live in New York State next month, is particularly
significant as professionals providing the treatment will be piloting its
reimbursement through the US healthcare billing system.

In this model, patients at the SUNY Upstate Medical University at Syracuse in
New York State will be able to benefit from an effective treatment for anxiety
and depression called Beating the Blues, which is a Computerised Cognitive
Behaviour Therapy (CCBT) developed by London based interactive healthcare
specialist, Ultrasis.

CCBT is a generic term that is used to refer to a number of methods of
delivering Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) via an interactive computer
interface as an alternative to traditional face to face therapy.

Designed for people with no previous computer experience, Beating the Blues
offers a complete self-help therapy, presented in eight weekly modules of one
hour sessions taking place at a local mental health centre. The program uses
interactive modules, animation and voice-overs to engage and motivate the user.

Clinically shown to be effective in Randomised Controlled Trials, Beating the
Blues has recently been recommended in the UK as an effective treatment for mild
and moderate depression in an Appraisal Consultation Document by the National
Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE).

As John Hill, Vice President of Ultrasis Inc, the wholly owned US subsidiary of
the UK interactive healthcare plc explains, the trial in the US is particularly
significant as providers, for the first time, will investigate having the
associated costs covered by insurance carriers.
'To date, the major stumbling block in prescribing Beating the Blues in the US
has not been the effectiveness of the treatment itself, but rather its lack of a
unique billing code, which is a cornerstone of the US healthcare system.'

He added, 'In the SUNY Upstate Medical University project, each patient will be
seen during each session by a member of the team led by Dr Thomas Schwartz MD,
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry before and after each module in the Beating
the Blues programme. This will meet the requirement of face to face
consultations stipulated by insurance.'

Commenting at the beginning of this pilot programme, Ultrasis plc CEO Graham
Lewis said, 'This is a important step for Ultrasis in the US market, where
latest figures estimate that millions of people are suffering from anxiety,
stress and depression. With a clinically effective product, a growing acceptance
of the need to look at new, non-pharmaceutical ways of treating what is a major
social and economic problem, the remaining hurdle is one of funding.'

'If the project is successful, patients will be able to benefit from the
treatment safe in the knowledge that the associated costs will be funded just
like any other medical treatment. The roll out opportunities, in NY State and
beyond, could be significant and pave the way for growth in one of the world's
largest healthcare markets.'

In a related development, Ultrasis Inc has also announced today a partnership
with the Center for Evidenced-Based Community Psychiatry of The SUNY Upstate
Medical University. The partnership will allow for collaboration between an
academic medical center and a corporation to provide e-therapy solutions
nationally.

John Hill stated, 'This partnership will provide a respected research
institution access to proven e-therapy tools, while providing Ultrasis access to
grant funded research initially focusing on rural access to services.' In
addition to pursuing research, the partnership will explore other development
opportunities and sales opportunities in the government, academic and publicly
funded sectors.

news.news.news the market is growing tired of news,i think a 20/30%rise will trigger a huge wave of sells.this share is now a yoyo (buy today sell tomorrow
for a quick 20%,i will buy back at 0.45,and if i am wrong then goodby

iturama - 23 May 2005 14:01 - 238 of 359

Over 50M shares traded so far today - over 5% of issued capital. If history is anything to go by, this will continue to rise for the remainder of the week.

I do under stand your point and that is what seems to happen, but I think long term the sp will brake out again through the 2p and onwards.

hewittalan6 - 23 May 2005 14:25 - 240 of 359

the interesting thing to me is the narrowing of the spread, making it much more attractive for short term trading. this might help keep it liquid for a while, and on the back of a good news article may make it a winner over the next couple of weeks.

i first bought it in december 04 at 0.33 1250000 shares than i sold at 0.86
i bought back at 0.62 sold at 1.33 then i had some remorsed so i bought back
at 1.22 and sold at 1.10 i was sad not to make any profits on the last trade
but know i am glad i did,i took my 4 grand initial investmemt,and with the profits i bought 2 shares.

the bottom line is,me too i thought it will hit 2p+ soon but lets face it can they make a profit soon,news drive a share up,but only profits will keep it up
so far their product is a niche market,i do not think they have the skill to sell it and make a profit yet,it will need a lot of money they havent got,where will it come from??

so in the long term maybe but be carefull at what price you buy and do not be afraid to take a profit because for quite a while that will be the only way to make money

so far i made 14 grand with 4 grand in my isa taxe free
and i am still on the sideline.

NICE PRESCRIBES BEATING THE BLUES TO THE NHS

Beating the Blues, the flagship product of interactive healthcare specialists
Ultrasis, has been singled out in an authoritative Appraisal Consultation
Document, published today on the web site of the National Institute for Clinical
Excellence (NICE), as the only evidence-based Computerised Cognitive Behaviour
Therapy (CCBT) option for the treatment of mild and moderate depression. The
document strongly recommends that all patients with mild and moderate depression
are offered Beating the Blues.

With mental health issues such as anxiety and depression on the increase in
recent years, NICE was tasked by the Department of Health and the National
Assembly for Wales to conduct an appraisal of computerised cognitive behaviour
therapy for depression and anxiety, in order to provide guidance on its use to
the NHS in England and Wales.

In its latest Appraisal prepared for further consultation, the committee states
that of the three packages considered, only Beating the Blues would be
recommended for use in the stepped care management of depression in primary and
secondary care, offered to all patients who present with mild to moderate
depression.

Ultrasis' healthcare and biotechnology expert, Dr Charlie Martin, said; 'Beating
the Blues has already been clinically proven in Randomised Controlled Trials
conducted by Dr Judy Proudfoot and her colleagues at The Institute of
Psychiatry, King's College, London. All existing evidence, along with additional
findings from more recent clinical use, was made available to the committee to
assist with their appraisal. Needless to say, we are delighted that these
preliminary findings support our own views on the effectiveness of Beating the
Blues.'

Welcoming the news Ultrasis' CEO, Graham Lewis, said; 'The previous Consultation
Document was very favourable, but this recommendation, albeit a preliminary one,
further strengthens the case for Beating the Blues as the clear CCBT option of
choice for treatment of people with mild or moderate depression within the NHS.'

He added; 'This is as a very significant staging post for Ultrasis. A potential
nationwide roll out of Beating the Blues would, in addition to its financial
scope, constitute a vital step forward in our ambition to make our products an
integral part of mainstream NHS provision.'

Comments on the Appraisal Document are invited over the next few weeks and NICE
is expected to make its formal recommendation to the Department of Health in
September this year.
