Mediwatch-A Synopsis:
Mediwatch was established in 1996 and has developed a range of specialist
medical equipment for the diagnosis of urological disorders.The group joined the
AIM in 2000 through a reverse into Prostcare plc,which at the time was valued at
8m.While the vast majority of sales were generated in the UK,there was a
substantial indirect export business involving a number of agents,supplying into
Europe,North America,Australasia and Asia,notably Japan.
Group revenues are set to increase rapidly following the acquisition of the former
Medtronic Urodynamis Division,which has introduced a fundamental presence in
North America.The deal was in 2006 with the sales division building from 2007.
With the inclusion of the Medtronic systems now owned by Mediwatch they now
can offer a 'One Stop Shop' for the diagnosis of various urology disorders with the
benefit of Mediwatch systems having the ability to electronically send data from the
various tests to a central data base!Oh and plus the added bonus of PSAwatch and
now PCA3plus!

More than 30 million PSA tests are performed annually in the USA alone!

FUTURE EVENTS AND LATEST
NEWS

Just for the record and to even things up,this is Treblewide's view (near end
of 2008):

"in short 3p by chrimbo and a real chance if they do not get rid of management they
will go into receivership.....when they bough the MDT business I said at the time it
must have been a bag of shite as they only paid buttons for it.......looks like that was
fairly correct......i feel sorry for shareholders"

Treblewide has been filtered from my eyes for his abuse,lies and general behavior but
it's a free country (I think) so do as you see fit.

interesting stuff from that article...very few men die from prosate cancer and it is not an agressive disease....treatment can be worse than the disease.......kind of suggests their whole business model is based on sand to me.......but hey who wants a balanced view.

Treblewide - 18 Jun 2007 00:31 - 76 of 1754
exercise and sex may cause a raised PSA...so you guys may have stumbled on a test for fit shaggers :-)

I am gonna name Me-Di-Watch

Gonna-go-bust-soon-iwatch

Treblewide - 18 Jun 2007 10:59 - 85 of 1754
minder...i do not make light of prosate cancer....show me one post where I do...i make fun out of this company yes but not the disease so wind yer neck in pal.

show me any trace of a profit and i will maybe change my mind

Treblewide - 18 Jun 2007 15:54 - 97 of 1754
minder made a small loss yes which I have more than made up for shorting it........and i guess your average holding is 3p.....aye right.

Aalso I closed out my short at 8p for a loss of the spread if memory serves me correctly.

currently short from 13.25....i thank you and goodnight

Treblewide - 23 Jul 2007 12:36 - 154 of 1747
more of the same......thank god i still do not own shares in this lot...will they ever
make a penny profit....looks doubtful......cannot even manage a small supply chain.


ect ect ect

with the last few posts:

Treblewide - 30 Mar 2009 09:16 - 1704 of 1754
you are a lunatic mick.....words fail me.

and ps i only post under treblewide on any financial web site....i know you cannot say the same......you have been calling this as a buy and nothing but a buy for about 7 years...it says it all really about your stock picking ability

i notice the downtrend ins now establishing itself....re-visit of the lows again by the looks of things

Treblewide - 30 Mar 2009 22:41 - 1712 of 1754
mick no i dont know what each product does...i dont think that is important...the numbers tell everything and even though you must spend hours on web sites searching for stuff that is not even related to MDW you fail to grasp the basics...they consistently lost money and now seem to be making some...my call to 3p was correct and i think if they had not got their shit together they could have gone under

i was not interested in them as a long play while they were loosing money depsite whatever rubbish you posted regarding piss sticks or whatever you bang on about.

and yes it was poor trading..having an avergae of 12 and averaging down to 6-7p while they were at 3p....is terrible trading...that cannot even be debated...the very fact you know so much about the products means you have fallen in love with this company......which is very dangerous when investing....

the numbers are the important things...i was right on 3p, the company is posting slightly better figures but we are in a bear market which has not bottomed yet so the price will fall further

you are a 1 trick pony that posts irrelevant links...dont bother to respond i can be bothered getting into a debate with you.....away and cut and paste some more flags

toodlepip

I have been chased from here and now ADVFN,has the boy got a problem?

treblewide - 3 Aug'09 - 14:46 - 22345 of 22412


post 22342 is classic.....so mick advfn is not a good source when the consensus is sell?

begs the question why you spend so much time polluting it with your bull tripe?

question....so MDW share price has gone up, it has gone down etc etc...during all of that time has mick ever been able to find any subjectivity in his posting ie has he ever critisised anything?

i really think he may be getting paid by MDW...the whole thing is very bizzare.

mick i notice you referred to your threads as "promotion of Mediwatch"

can you confirm if you are getting financially rewarded by the company for this?

treblewide - 3 Aug'09 - 23:55 - 22371 of 22412


664k overdrawn....takes a long time to pay back at 39k profit every 6 months.

drawn down overdraft has increased by 170k and they paid 33k to service that overdraft and made 39k profit...as i keep saying my local fish and chip shop make more money than this lot.

margins have been squeezed...psa watch now off the agenda in terms of updates....not 1 single reason to buy and yet you lot think this share price will go up??.....am mystified why it would increase? genuinely why is this comapny under valued?? i cannot see it and dont bang on about fairfax saying they are going to make x amount...they have never been near to getting it right

if i were a holder i would be selling now at 6p if i could and buying back in the 2-3p range which the chart is saying is now a certainty....i expecta full year loss

i told you all to sell at 14p and at 11p (it is all there in black and white) and that it was going to 3 pence..i got abuse mick called me an idiot and suggested it was going to 50p......still a sell and my short (which was posted in real time over the road) is nicely in profit.

toodle pip...will log back in when it gets to 3p....

treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 10:49 - 22379 of 22412


still time to get out at 6p.....dont understand why you would not sell at 6p when they are obviously going to half in value...if you are a long term mdw bull you can buy twice as many shares at 3p and maybe possibly one day see a profit on your holding?



treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 12:44 - 22381 of 22412


last chance to sell at 6p for your shares folks


treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 14:48 - 22387 of 22412


so question...is psawatch is so great...why has there been no huge surge in revenue figures from UK and Europe on the back of it being sold?

the whole reason a lot of you hold this is psawatch...it has not made them any money in Europe which could be argued when taken as a whole is not much smaller than the USA.....this company is not going to change overnight with US approval...at bets it would be a selling opportunity for long term holders

i really think a lot of you have to ignore some of the nonsense ramping going on here...the company is draining cash and there margins are reducing (despite this wonder PSA machine they have for sale)

i really think the future looks bleak for mediwatch...if someone can put in concise terminology why MDW is a buy i am all ears....dont point me at fairfax report...they are a bunch of clowns as well...that interim report is shocking and i mean really poor.

costs out of control...margins squeezed, cash running out...no real revenue growth, does this sound like a growth company to you?

sell at 6p


treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 15:50 - 22391 of 22412


god i have heard it all now...mick can you counter my points about declining margins and cash issues without nonsense posts about peopel having insider information...what a crock and what a clown.

so just so i have this straight in my head...when you put in effort to ramp these shares it is all great and you expect cuddles? (and if anyone disagrees you throw your toys out the pram liek an old woman)

when i put up a few posts to explain why i am short it is an organised attempt to get the share price down because i have insider inforamtion from the US?

were you the Iraqi information minister in a previous role? lol


treblewide - 5 Aug'09 - 19:24 - 22409 of 22412


lol.....shares getting sold today at 5.75.....next stop 3p...

treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 12:44 - 22381 of 22408 edit


last chance to sell at 6p for your shares folks




treblewide - 5 Aug'09 - 19:29 - 22410 of 22412


i wonder what thier overdraft is limited to....1M?

if so they have 12 months of life left at current perfomance...how many of you hlders have considered the chances of them going bust?....i would not rule it out...would love to know how much further the banks will let them go into debt before they pull the plug

treblewide - 5 Aug'09 - 19:37 - 22411 of 22412


seriously if i were a holder i would look at the interims and ask how much longer can they go on burning cash.......and with all the averaging down the bulls have done over the years i bet some are more exposed than they should be....good luck...think you might need it




ANYWAY

http://mediwatch.blogspot.com/

indeed it is interesting but at just over 1M per year it is not huge especially with the large increase in overheads they are carrying after MDT acquisition and losses they still make

but as i said at last some encouragement for the bulls instead of blind hope

That's much better,Treble and afternoon :-)

Can't stop,busy busy! 'blind hope'-lol

Just resting today :-)

Cancer Reform Strategy
Document type: Guidance Author: Department of Health
Published date: 3 December 2007
Primary audience: Health and social care professionals

http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/Publicationsandstatistics/Publications/PublicationsPolicyAndGuidance/DH_081006

The Cancer Reform Strategy builds on the progress made since the publication of the NHS Cancer Plan in 2000 and sets a clear direction for cancer services for the next five years. It shows how by 2012 our cancer services can and should become among the best in the world.


From mdrans1 post and link some key points relating to just to the PSA test,imo:


"3.38 The Prostate Cancer Risk Management Programme (PCRMP) was introduced in 2002 to help GPs and practice nurses in advising men
without symptoms of prostate cancer on the implications of having a PSA test."

"A consultation will be published in the spring,with the intention of launching the revised PCRMP packs in the summer of 2008. The review will take full account of the results of the Prostate Cancer in Ethnic Subgroups (PROCESS)
study22, which showed that black men are three times more likely to develop prostate cancer compared to white men."


"3.50 However, there are several notable examples of awareness campaigns and pilot programmes to encourage help-seeking behaviour:"

"● A pilot programme in Coventry funded by the Department of Health and signatories to the Prostate Cancer Charter for Action aimed to raise awareness of the prostate and its function, including among Afro-Caribbean men, using community health promotion techniques in pubs, clubs and workplaces;"


"CHAPTER 7: DELIVERING CARE IN THE MOST APPROPRIATE SETTING

7.13 GPs with a special interest in cancer may wish to develop and offer particular diagnostic services under practice based commissioning.During the development of this strategy stakeholders told us that models which may develop and will need to be evaluated include:

● Community-based Prostate Health Clinics
(see Box 35 below)"

"Box 35: Community-based Prostate Health Clinics

Due to the complexities involved in diagnosing significant prostate cancers, one suggested model is that men should receive advice and support on prostate health issues at dedicated community-based prostate health clinics. Decision advisers would help men at the following points in the pathway:

● Men without symptoms considering having a PSA test or equivalent;
● Men with urinary or other potential symptoms of prostate cancer;
● Men considering having a biopsy for prostate cancer following a PSA test; and
● Men diagnosed with benign prostate disease.

Decision advisers could be clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) on a dedicated or outreach basis,GPs with a special interest in prostate cancer, community based specialist urologists or other appropriately trained practitioners. Access to prostate health clinics would be via GP referral or direct access for men concerned about their prostate health.Improved support for men in making decisions about further investigation or treatment would not be a form of rationing, but rather a way of ensuring that men have the best possible information and support when making difficult decisions. Improved support for men will ensure
that more appropriate referrals for biopsy or further care will be made"


Also:

"34. GPs and primary care professionals must have quick and easy access to relevant diagnostic tests, both to exclude cancer in patients with a low chance of having cancer and to diagnose cancer quickly in patients with a high chance of having cancer."

Nicked from the other side:

"Mr Watts currently has high hopes for two businesses - cancer testing company Mediwatch and artificial intelligence firm, Kaonix.


Rugby-based Mediwatch is a high-tech medical diagnostic equipment manufacturer and supplier. The AIM listed company works in urology, including prostate and bowel cancer."

http://icbirmingham.icnetwork.co.uk/birminghampost/business/tm_method=full%26objectid=20038835%26siteid=50002-name_page.html

and from the same paper and a good bit of publicity:



"Australia deal for MediwatchNov 29 2007


Rugby-based health firm Mediwatch has agreed a deal Down Under.

The medical equipment manufacturer has signed a contract to supply a range of diagnostic urological products to Australian medical devices company Device Technologies.

It reflects the rapidly growing requirement for long-term care of the elderly in Australia and New Zealand.

The five-year sales deal is estimated to be worth in the region of 3 million over the period.

It follows the recent announcement of a two-year sales contract with Accelerated Care Plus worth at least 2 million."

End of January is Arab Health which in my opinion marks the start of MDW's push as a 'one stop shop' for Urology products.The global distribution network is now complete which makes the trade shows of 2008 more important than they have ever been before!

http://www.arabhealthonline.com/index.html

"Arab Health is the region's premier health event bringing healthcare providers, manufacturers, wholesalers, dealers and distributors together with some of the most important and influential decision-makers in the Arab world.

Established over three decades ago, Arab Health is a must-attend event in the health care calendar and offers an ideal environment for companies to showcase their products in one of the fastest growing and most lucrative markets in the world.

10 billion rush for more GCC hospitals

Release Date: Monday, November 26, 2007


Arab Health spotlights total health investment of $60 billion by 2025 with demand for hospital beds expected to double

With demand for hospital beds in the region set to double by 2025, Arabian Gulf countries are rushing to meet the unprecedented challenge with a near $10 billion hospital building programme, say industry experts.

The programme which does not include the budgets for required medical equipment is led by Saudi Arabia with dozens of public and private sector hospital and clinic projects worth a total of around $6.5 billion in progress, according to statistics compiled by database company Proleads.

Arabian Gulf governments have been encouraging international institutions to set up health care facilities in the region but many more providers will be required to meet the huge future demand, said Simon Page, Director of Healthcare for IIR Middle East, organisers of Arab Health, the regions premier event for the health care industry which takes place from 28 31 January 2008 at Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Qatar, with a substantially smaller number of health care facilities underway, comes second after Saudi Arabia in terms of hospital projects with a $1.5 billion set aside. The UAE has nine current hospital projects with a value of $596 million; Kuwait has four valued at $428 million; and Bahrain one worth $130 million.

The driving force is an unparalleled rise in regional demand for health care forecast for the next two decades. Consultants McKinsey & Co. recently estimated total health care spending in the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) countries will reach $60 billion by 2025.

No other region in the world faces such rapid growth in demand, McKinsey said, predicting the need for 162,000 more hospital beds with the biggest increases in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Mediwatch wins 5-year, 3 mln stg diagnostics products supply deal

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Mediwatch PLC said it has signed a five-year contract, which is expected to generate about 3 mln stg total sales, to supply a range of diagnostic urological products to Australian medical devices company Device Technologies Pty Ltd.

The medical equipment maker said it will supply Portascan+, Multiscan, Portaflow, Urodyn 1000, Duet Logic, Duet Encompass, Sensic G3 products as part of the order.


happy new year

All looking good leading up to results in a few weeks:

"New marketing materials binding together the portfolio of Mediwatch

With an ever-increasing portfolio of products to promote, the company's promotional material had become inconsistent. It all needed bringing together under a strong brand and corporate theme, to give the company a sales tool which was impactful and flexible.

After deciding on a nature-related theme, we selected and manipulated images to represent each product category and adjusted the colouring of the images so that each had its own colour code. This created a strong visual platform for future product documents.

The result was a complete new visual identity, tying together old and new products to present a much more professional face, building client confidence in the company and its products."

http://www.segasbystudios.com/graphic/mediwatch/

only 750k per annume of new contracts announced so still expect a loss when they report.....

Evening Treble and hope you had a good one?

Due to the time frame the results cover a loss is maybe on the cards but break even or there abouts would be my guess.

I think you have to look at where MDW are now compared with years past!

This,as in 2008 is the start for MDW with the past being all about getting to this point,in my opinion!

The website says it was updated as of yesterday but not sure in what way at moment.

Edit-Unless it's the Erectease info that has been updated?

Not sure about Sunshine Instrument Co.Ltd whether they are a distributor or not.
It's pretty up to date as 02.pdf is the Urodyn 1000 under the Mediwatch label!

wow :-)

wow indeed but please curb your excitement for the time being :-)

This Japanese hospital uses MDW's Portaflow but I think the wording got lost in translation-lol

Urine flow rate measurement test: Portaflow (Britain, Mediwatch) by the natural state of urination. 本機は日本導入第1号機． This is the first introduction of the Japanese nuclear reactor. 簡易トイレで排尿するだけで、尿の勢いをグラフにして見ることが出来ます． Just urinate in portable toilets, urine momentum graph you can see.
