I am at a loss both mentally and financially about the goings on here.

The company is involved in health care and all it's peers have risen substantially.

Debt has been cleared, profits are rising and the chairman's statement was incredibly positive. I always thought a star of this kind would rise. Low market value etc etc. Any ideas why I'm apparently wrong?

I like many other are hanging in there but with spreads anything up to 25%, which is tantamount to theft, it could be a long wait.

Leave it in there for the children - Someone told me thats the best way to think about it.. there be a trading update soon

Nar1, Lets hope the children don't have their own before this share decides to rise !

Forget the Warren Buffet books it better to read the "Idiots" guide to investing !

Just you wait and see SUN will come good !!

Nice 0.12 rise today !!!

Definately moving in the right direction now. maybe the wait wont be so long after all. It would be good if they could push out some positive news asap to take advance of the defensive qualities of the health care band wagon

I'm watching this one, but i agree that we will need some good news and not only once to get some more investors here. Do they have any important dates coming ???

Well they released a trading update 8-1-07 last year so it could be anytime??

Best get buying ladies and gentlemen !!

but they didn't this year, maybe they have nothing to release yet , or only bad news....

Still got time to go

I think the trading update last year was a one-off Nar1, not SUN's usual style. I won't be disappointed if we hear nothing before notification in March of Results. I think it will probably have been a fairly tough year for the company since losing the Aesculap contract but I feel they were very quick to address the situation, make some important strategic changes and get themselves more organized; a sign of strong management imo. Still confident in this company, I am hopeful of a good set of results.

We shall soon know Kimoldfield

This baby can get to 20p, if everything goes as good as planned, IMO

Given time Ahoj, given time, and there's plenty of that!

0.25 up TODAY !!!!! VERY NICE

C'mon!!

This one is a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no doubt!!

mentioned in IC as one of the top 45 aim companies which could do well this year

Just pile in and sit back results in April always a good run towards April !!

Good news in the US and this will be flying !!!!

Healthy profits rise for Surgical Innovations Group

A LEEDS medical technology firm which is literally at the cutting edge of manufacturing for the healthcare sector has reported increased profits.
Surgical Innovations Group, which designs and manufactures innovative surgical devices, says it has an optimistic view of the future as it continues to develop new products.

Sales for the year ended December 31 climbed by seven per cent to 4.77m (2006: 4.46m) resulting in an operating profit of 685,000 (2006: 735,000).

Pre-tax profits were up by five per cent to 731,000 (2006: 696,000).

During the period the business completed a successful fundraising of 4m (before expenses) to aid its expansion plans in the US and to increase its product range both through acquisition and internal development.

The group, which is listed on the Alternative Investment Market, has been reorganised into three trading companies.

Surgical Innovations Ltd specialises in minimally invasive surgery devices while Haemocell Ltd specialises in autologous blood transfusion products allowing patients to give their own blood rather than risking infection from donors.

Core Precision Ltd offers surgical and industrial solutions for original equipment manufacturer partners.

Confident

Doug Liversidge, the firm's non-executive chairman, said: "I am delighted that once again we are able to report improved levels of profit and sales.

"The domestic and overseas markets in which we operate are growing and we are confident that, with our expanding portfolio of products, we will be able to continue to generate further sales growth throughout the year.

"Our confidence in our future is such that we have just completed a relocation of the business to facilities that provide us with triple the area of floor space and the capacity by which we can capitalise on this increasing opportunity."

Surgical Innovations, which is based at Clayton Park, Clayton Wood Rise, West Park, now employs over 40 people.

It began trading in 1992 as Surgical Innovations Ltd, merging with Haemocell plc in 1998 to form the Surgical Innovations Group.

The core Surgical Innovations business has developed a portal device giving access to the body for instruments and helping to guide them to their target.

The company broke into the US market when it signed a deal to supply it to one of the largest US hospital groups.
