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

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

Banjo, I will think before I post but I will post what I think.
That must surely be the purpose of these BB's.
regards
opto

opto,
Think about this the Directors would need 75% to vote 'yes' to get an MBO, they hold 25%, there are some large holders under the 3% radar and they won't let it go on the cheap. Also they would have difficulty getting away with any less than the offer they just turned down, which I believe to be in the 18p-20p area.
But finally of the three main Directors (holdings wise) one is getting close to retirement and the other two are top surgeons in their field, I just cannot see them wanting to takeover the Company, they own enough of it to get a large retirement payday down the line (next 18 months - 2 years).

At the moment the markets are poor and people are scared, but MDW are on a prospective EV/Sales of 1 and a prospective PE of 10 that is too low for a rapidly growing profitable Company. Some will buy and others will wait, but as ever fortune favours the brave.

Minder, then I shall look for fortune for I am one of 'the brave' :-)

Minder,appreciated your views,cheers.

Opto,yes of course both positive and negative views are welcome but sensational views that are without foundation are not! Insinuating that a company is deliberately holding back information to effect the SP in order for a MBO to take place is bang out of order in my book!

Can't remember if I posted this on here or not:



"Welcome to MGUdisposables.com

During 2006 and 2007, Medtronic transitioned its urodynamic and gastrodiagnostic hardware, software and accesssories products either to Mediwatch for the urodynamic product line or to Alpine Biomed for the gastrodiagnostic product line. Please contact these two companies for products, service, support and education programs. Contact information is below."

i think u r about only person with enthusiasm left banjo.

i've held for 4 years now and still nothing.....wish i sold when rumour of takeover

Afternoon scotinvestor,
I'm sure there will be other such happenings this year so you will get another chance,imo.

As I have said many times I am looking from last results to the summer interims as a key time for both MDW and the SP.If the SP is not above 14p by or soon after interims I will be looking at my position regarding MDW,probably end up buying more-lol.

Report (USA) released yesterday containing some interesting figures and findings:

"The PCEC recommends keeping a list of your blood test results over the years because noticing a slight increase or change in your results over time may help your doctor recognize the development of prostate cancer years before it would normally be diagnosed."

Max Clifford, publicist and prostate cancer sufferer. Photograph: Martin Godwin


Clifford reappears. He is wearing a short-sleeved white shirt. It is the kind of shirt under which men used to wear a vest, but Clifford does not, and the fabric sits a little saggy and carefree, bringing the air of a man perpetually on holiday. "How are you?" I ask. "I'm extremely well," he says with jovial gruffness. This is not altogether true: Clifford has not been well, extremely or otherwise - earlier this month, he announced that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last autumn. He has just completed nine weeks of radiotherapy, and the prognosis is now very good. "I never had any signs. I wasn't suffering, I wasn't ill, I didn't have pain or blood when I was peeing." He speaks like a man sizing up a building job. "If it wasn't for the fact that I had a very, very good doctor who was watching out for it, I wouldn't have known. But seemingly everything's OK, caught it ever so early."

Following the death of his wife, Liz, "she died on April 8, 2003, very sudden, eight months, it was lung cancer," Clifford booked himself in for a medical and was told that he had an enlarged prostate, and as such would be wise to have a regular PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test. When the cancer was diagnosed, in October, he didn't tell anyone besides his girlfriend Jo and his daughter Louise. He has only spoken out now, he explains, because he wants to raise awareness of prostate cancer. "It is now is the most common cancer in men in Britain," he says. "Something like one in four of any man who gets cancer will get prostate cancer."

Morning banjo

Afternoon Dave,
Yes,they are a bit slow but the website has been updated as of today regarding the 'Important Dates' page.Not that exciting as all they have done is replace last years dates with this years,well sort of.

soon be summer banjo and results.

yep but think we will have good news way before then and enough to get us above 14p!

Lets see what happens next week and during the rest of May.

This is why I'm happy to be a long term holder and in a position where I can watch the company grow with a high possibility of MDW being bought out at a much higher level than we see today,imo:

Mediwatch brand building pays off in full-year figures

Industry Sector
Medical Equipment

Mediwatch, the company that makes specialist medical equipment for the urology market, is on course to deliver full year figures in-line with expectations, with revenues expected to be significantly ahead of last year.

In a trading statement today, Mediwatch said it had continued to make steady progress in the current year. It credited the combination of direct selling and a network of 70 international distributors established towards the end of 2007 in assisting to raise its brand and product range globally.

It added that the overall outlook remained positive, with the company making further progress as it continues to strengthen and build its position across key products and geographies.
