Nice istitutional BUY :-)

Interesting little company here.

2006 will be a big year for AMS, with US approval likely and more importantly, profitability.

I dipped my toes in on friday with a purchase of 110k shares, but the trade hasn't shown up for some reason.

The share has been a dull performer for many years, but the outlook suggests that that will change this year, now all the groundwork has been prepared.

I don't expect fireworks, but if all runs according to plan, we may see 15p at some point this year.

Got a few before Christmas at 9p, any reason for the fall back?

Todays results and directors buying, gives support to AMS

Nothing posted on this since December

Results today look excellent

Mkt cap after current move to 16p is 22.2m
Net cash is 4.2m
Leaving EV of 18m

Sales were 14.3m -- so co on 1.3x sales historic
42% gross margin --- would expect this to continue upwards

This is too low I think even now especially when they are looking to go into 2 new markets that offer "step change opportunities"

Note however tax returns boosted eps

Advanced Woundcare is main market -- 11.5m of sales -- in market sized at 50m so has 20% of market, Market expected to grow at rate of 20% plus . The only concern here is company sales rose only 9% in 2006. Do not know enuogh of company history -- product launches etc to know why.

This and other markets are fast growth and the company seems to be making the right moves . Technology seems to be supported by medical papers

My only concern is perhaps growth should be faster in current markets. But that can just be left as a concern if the management deliver on their "step change" targets. They have delivered so far.

Should see 20-22p as fair value before the step chage hits in then we could head to 30p say by the end of 2008

Nice to see my comment above - I guess if you have enough pokes your going to hit something

Well stock nicely retracing to 20p now and with summer lull likely should be able to increase holdings at this or slightly lower levels 30p still looks to be the target by end of 2008

Hi folks,
I started looking at this one a few months ago with a view that it should hit 30p (by dec 2007) if all goes well. I'm also looking to trade in and out to make extra bucks as the shares seem to swing quite nicely (at the moment). I was just wondering if anyone could tell me info on why the trade data timing on this stock is all a mishmash. I'd have sold out at 22.25 yesterday if I knew that several 100K sales had gone through. These were only reported hours afterwards (as buys). I only have the free trade data (at the moment) and am wondering if the trades are observable real time with Level II data. Anyone have any views? Any info is much appriciated.

dsknight

i think this is right -- if deals out of side reporting can be delayed -- if shares move in the meantime can also be difficult to tell buy or sell for sure. Hope this helps but do not treat as gospel

Results tomorrow should indicate that AMS is moving up and may declare a maiden dividend.

reporting in March -- still here on this one and continuing to climb nicely. Not sure why it keeps climbing in these markets but price action is strong lets hope they deliver as promised

Excellent products ,health sector, NHS supplier, possible takeover target,what more could you ask for, onwards to 35p.

nice results. Likely to sit around here then up to 40p by this time next year

Another one that's doing well currently. J D Slater and family have been steadily increasing their holding over the past few months, to just over 5%

SP holding up well in spite of 20 million+ sold this morning?

MDW the next one to rise like this. imho

Following yesterdays RNS confirming successful re-classification of their wound product in the US there is talk that they may now become a bid target for their competitor Johnson and Johnson. See Shares mag page 10.

("AMS" or the "Group")

Initial LiquiBand product introduced to US market

Winsford, UK: Advanced Medical Solutions Group plc (AIM: AMS), the global medical technology company, today announces that LiquiBand topical skin adhesive, the initial product for which the Group received regulatory clearance in February, has been introduced to the US market by MedLogic, its wound closure and sealants division. Further LiquiBand products are under review by the FDA.

LiquiBand, the leading topical skin adhesive in the UK accident and emergency market received 510(k) clearance from the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) earlier this year, and is indicated for use on trauma induced lacerations, minor wounds and laparoscopic skin incisions.

The product line consisting of LiquiBand and LiquiBand Flow Control was unveiled at the American College of Emergency Physicians in Boston, 5-8 October and is being displayed at the American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference and Exposition in Washington DC, 17-20 October .

Commenting on this announcement, Dr. Don Evans, Chief Executive Officer of Advanced Medical Solutions, stated:

"We are thrilled to bring this exciting technology to clinicians and patients in the United States. LiquiBand has been sold successfully for many years in Europe and has enabled MedLogic to establish a leadership position in the use of tissue adhesives for wound closure.

"The products shown at the Emergency Physicians meeting and at the Pediatrics Conference will be commercially available in November via multiple distribution partners and further products will follow to provide a comprehensive suite of products to allow us to compete strongly in the US topical tissue adhesives market currently estimated at around $200m."

This is very good news for AMS, should push the sp up when the sales potential is realised.

Halifax - I don't know much about them (yet) will try and do a bit of research over the weekend.
