Well after all the earlier promises, now slightly overdue and the SMA chart starting to indicate a reversal of fortune I think you might be wise to buy some. Or if you hold some, top up as I've been doing lately.
For those not familiar with this stock check on previous news over the last year or so re 'promises'.

Plethora Solutions - Product Update PSD401
RNS Number:7197M
Plethora Solutions Holdings PLC

PLETHORA SOLUTIONS HOLDINGS PLC
Product Update
PSD401 - Sexual Activity Monitor (SAMTM)
Plethora Enters Into Agreement with Global Pharmaceutical Company
Plethora Solutions Holdings plc ('Plethora' or the 'Company', AIM : PLE), the
specialist developer of products for the treatment and management of urological
disorders, today announces that it has entered into an agreement with a major
multi-national pharmaceutical company to supply Plethora's Sexual Assessment
Monitor (SAMTM, PSD401), a device for the measurement and automated recording of
ejaculation time, into a clinical programme using time to ejaculation as a
primary endpoint. The use of PSD401 to measure time to ejaculation introduces a
new level of accuracy over the traditional method of measurement using a hand
held stop watch. A similar agreement was entered into with Johnson & Johnson in
2005.
Plethora recently published the successful conclusion of development trials on
PSD401. (Dinsmore et al (2006) BJU Int, 98; 613-61). These trials, monitoring
both healthy volunteers and patients suffering from Premature Ejaculation (PE),
established the reproducibility, efficacy and safety of the product and the
ability to discriminate between healthy patients with 'normal' latency times and
PE sufferers.
Dr. Mike Wyllie, CSO of Plethora, commented; 'We are delighted that another
leading pharmaceutical company has selected PSD401 for use in their development
of treatments for sexual dysfunction. This second agreement demonstrates clearly
that PSD401 can be a valuable aid to clinical development within major
pharmaceutical companies and is a key component in our commercialisation of the
product.'
As well as working with pharmaceutical companies that utilise the product in
clinical development and marketing programmes for drugs for the treatment of PE,
PSD401 will ultimately be used by the urologists, andrologists, other relevant
specialists and primary care physicians who are responsible for the diagnosis
and management of the large PE patient population. For this purpose, Plethora
has obtained both European and US marketing approval for the device, which will
be marketed through its subsidiary, Timm Medical. The recent 510K approval for
marketing of the device should also expedite acceptance in the US as a front
line diagnostic system. In this context, many of the key sexual health opinion
leaders in the USA are to take delivery of PSD401s in Q1 2007
In the expanding sexual health market, PSD401 complements Plethora's therapeutic
product PSD502 for the treatment of PE which is about to enter phase III
clinical trials once on-going partnering discussions are finalised.

Navajo -good point
Todays news is great -they have stated that more large pharmas are to take delivery of PSD401 - means more product revenues -thats what we want to hear.
Notice they haven't stated the Pharmas name or deal amount -I wonder if its the same company who they will announce the deal for PSD502 with? interesting.

Plethora Solutions - Product Update - ErecAid
RNS Number:2428N

Product Update
Osbon ErecAid(R): Use of ErecAid after Radical Prostate Surgery reduces
incidence of penile shortening.
Plethora Solutions Holdings plc ('Plethora', AIM: PLE), the specialist developer
of products for the treatment and management of urological disorders, notes the
publication of new research that shows that regular use of the Osbon ErecAid(R)
product marketed through Plethora's US subsidiary, Timm Medical, can reduce the
incidence of penile shortening in men recovering from prostate cancer surgery; a
procedure known as radical prostatectomy ('RRP').
An estimated 235,000 American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2006
(1), of which approximately 25% will be treated by having their prostate
surgically removed via a radical prostatectomy. Consequent tissue and nerve
damage and scar formation can lead to temporary or sometimes permanent loss of
erectile function and changes in penile dimension. Penile shrinkage occurs in
more than two-thirds of men undergoing radical prostatectomy, with reductions in
length of more than 1cm reported in almost half of men three months after
surgery(2),(3)
In a paper entitled 'Preservation of Penile Length After Radical Prostatectomy
(RRP): Early Intervention With a Vacuum Erection Device (VED)' presented at the
7th Annual Society of Urologic Oncology on December 1, 2006, Dr. Bruce Dalkin
reported that of the 28 men recovering from radical prostatectomy who made daily
use of the Osbon ErecAid(R) vacuum system, only one experienced a reduction in
penile length greater than 1cm. Of the four patients who did not make daily use
of the vacuum system, three experienced a reduction in penile length of more
than 1cm. The incidence of penile shrinkage in the experimental group of 3.5%
compared favorably to 48% incidence of penile shortening after RRP reported in
historical controls(2).
The study concludes that '...early intervention with VED should be recommended
in all potent men undergoing nerve-sparing RRP to preserve penile length.'
Dr Steven Powell, Plethora CEO, commented:
'The Osbon ErecAid(R) is frequently prescribed for patients for whom oral drugs
are ineffective treatments for erectile dysfunction. This new research
highlights the potential for the ErecAid(R) device to play a significant role in
minimising the impact of radical prostate surgery on a patient's quality of
life.'

wish I had bought SOLA -nevermind -I can see Plethora doing the same -broker has already given a target of 5+ on Plethora but I can see this going well above that because all their products have been given FDA approval whereas top Pharmas are struggling to get this which puts Plethora in a great position.
Their products have billions of market potential. I reckon by end of 2007 this company will be bought out and I am putting a 10 tag/share based on fundamentals. They have a revenue stream from Timm Medicals.
Neutech Pharma was bought out at 10+ and there are many similarities in number of shares in issue etc. I am happy with the top guys in the management as they know their stuff and have worked in top Pharmas and have the right connections.The top PLE scientist has 80 Patents+ to his name including Viagra which he commercialised at Pfizer.
I am gonna sit tight -see you all on deal news which I expect will double the price and more onwards. I still expect before year end although am happy whenever it arrives as the deal can only get bigger.

A disappointing year in terms of progress in the shareprice.
Although looking at the fundamentals especially with Timm Medicals and PSD401 bringing in great revenues this will do itself justice next year with the news data from so many products and with licensing deals. No doubt they want to do a deal to speed up phase III of PSD502 ,also the PSD502 product can now be licensed as an asset as it has wound pain relief application as well as for PE so any deal for the asset will be large no doubt.
Next year will be very interesting imho and in the next results they should be in profit and with the deal well well above in profit. The top man Mr Evans of Merlin Sciences has also stated that Plethora Solutions will certainly be one of the companies that will be taken over by cash rich USA Pharmas.
I shall wait for that bid can't see it being less than 10 meself and that'll be worth the wait.

Plethora Solutions - Clinical Update
RNS Number:9118Q
Plethora Solutions Holdings PLC
08 February 2007
PLETHORA SOLUTIONS HOLDINGS PLC
Clinical Programme Extension - Plethora initiates parallel study for PSD597 as
analgesic therapy in urogynaecological procedures.
Plethora Solutions Holdings PLC ('Plethora', AIM : PLE), the specialist
developer of products for the treatment and management of urological disorders,
announces the initiation of a new clinical programme in an additional clinical
indication for PSD597, a novel therapy under development for the treatment of
interstitial cystitis and painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS).
Following positive feedback from the clinical centres involved in its existing
IC study, Plethora has, in parallel, initiated a second study to demonstrate
efficacy of the product as an analgesic therapy in urogynaecological procedures
such as cystoscopy and bladder biopsy. These procedures are often performed
currently in the absence of any analgesic agent. As a result of its fast onset
of action, PSD597 may bring immediate pain relief to these patients during this
short procedure. It has been estimated that at least 62,000 Americans undergo a
bladder biopsy each year to confirm the presence of bladder cancer, while over
150,000 women undergo hydrodistension procedures for IC/PBS. Recruitment is
already under way in five centres in this second PSD597 study, which is
scheduled to report in the first half of 2007.
PSD597 is currently undergoing a Phase II clinical study in North America to
demonstrate its efficacy in the treatment of interstitial cystitis; a chronic
syndrome characterised by bladder pain and increased urinary frequency and
urgency. A self-reported survey of American households indicated that almost 1%
of women had received a diagnosis of IC/PBS suggesting that there are at least
900,000 female sufferers in the USA alone. Current treatments for IC/PBS are
limited in their effectiveness. The objective of the ongoing clinical programme
is to provide additional confirmation of the findings from two pilot studies in
which PSD597 was shown to provide immediate, effective and long-acting symptom
relief in these major, poorly-controlled, debilitating conditions. Recruitment
in this current Phase II study is on track to report results in the first half
of the year.
Professor Alvaro Morales of Queens University, Ontario, Canada commented:
'Based on the degree of benefit and duration of clinical effect emerging in the
current IC study together with the results of the previous two previous studies,
PSD 597 could be of considerable benefit to patients suffering not only from
chronic IC and bladder pain but also in this second area of un-met clinical
need'.
Dr Steven Powell, Plethora CEO, concluded:
'Existing, published clinical data for the efficacy of PSD597 in the treatment
of IC is promising and we have already received a strong level of interest in
this product from potential partners. The development path for the new,
additional indication is short as the product would be used in an acute setting
with no long term safety issues. We may therefore be in a position to consider
retaining marketing rights to the second indication whilst continuing partnering
discussions around the primary, IC/PBS indication'.
