It's not hard to make up a new thread.......the stage is yours so please make good use of it.

Banjomick, I have taken this from the July interims "We anticipate that the results for the second half of the year will show only marginal growth over the first half results with some easing of margins due to price pressure from competitors." Who are the competitors and have MDW good reason to be wary of them?

kimoldfield,
Far too late for me to reply but I will tomorrow night.

But a quick reply would be that MDW took over the previously wound down MDT section and re branded and improved the equipment and during this time lost ground was understandably seen.

My opinion is that you have to read the whole interim results and not just the short term negativity.If you look into other companies they more or less say the same thing with the current climate and all.

From the said interims that you quoted:

Trading and Financial Overview

In the six month period to 30 April 2008, Group turnover was 4,371,000, an increase of 139% on the comparable period last year (2007: 1,829,000). This growth was attributable to:

Addition of the Medtronic product line for the first four months of fiscal year 2008 over the same period in fiscal year 2007;

Transfer of manufacturing capacity to an in-house process, enabling the Group to respond to customer orders and requests more rapidly;

Increased global revenues as a result of improved sales and marketing from the UK team, with continued sales from the US office;

The successful marketing of the consumable product lines, which includes catheters and electrodes;

The new Portascan + and Bardscan II are being well received by the marketplace which has been reflected by encouraging sales in the period;


All depends on how you want to look at MDW and your time scale,will they go bust with the initial outlay RE MDT and distribution network,I doubt that very much.Will there be a MBO,very much doubt it.Will they get bought out,quite possibly but not for at least 6-12 months time,imo.Will they progress further in 2008/2009......yes but just my opinion.

It's quite interesting that after going to all the trouble of setting up a thread which includes his name in the title,that he wishes not to post or maybe he hasn't seen it?
