TANKS - i don't know this company at all, but clearly they have pooed in their nest very badly, and on that basis alone i would not be at all tempted

Cynic
Cannot see where the drop has come from other than 1)longs at 72 wanting out with mm not giving support
2 the annual shorting , again with noq resistance from the mm
No real volume and no notice from major holders.
At recent results there were no surprises but some were expecting more.
There is a meeting of company and analysts soon

no idea ... only even looked because tanks asked me to and to comment

Annual General Meeting and Update on Trading

Winsford, UK: Advanced Medical Solutions Group plc (AIM: AMS.L), the global medical technology company, will hold its Annual General Meeting at 11.00 today.

Dr. Don Evans, Non-Executive Chairman of the Group, will make the following statement regarding current trading.

"I am pleased to report that the good start to the year, as highlighted in the 2011 Preliminary Results announcement on 7 March 2012, is continuing.

We continue to make good progress in the US market with our LiquiBand® range of products, with end-user sales increasing and further market share gains. We expect to see the impact of this progress in our ex-factory sales during the second half and we anticipate good growth for the full year. In relation to LiquiBand Flex®, we are well advanced with signing up and training distributors and are currently going through key evaluations which should be finalised by the end of the summer.

Our integration of RESORBA® is progressing to plan. We are advancing through the programme set out at the beginning of the year and we have now completed the first NHS tender for RESORBA®'s range of products, in line with our stated strategy. We expect the outcome of this first tender toward the end of the year. As a consequence of the RESORBA® acquisition, more of our Group revenues are now Euro denominated. The Group has hedged to protect profitability and, although underlying sales remain healthy, the consequent weakening of the currency could affect our headline revenue number on translation into sterling.

Elsewhere in the Group, our ActivHeal® range continues to perform well and the de-stocking effect that we experienced with one of our partners for silver alginate is now behind us. In our foam business, the targeted H2 launch of trilaminate foam dressings remains on track. However, as discussed in our Preliminary Results, 2012 foam revenues are expected to be impacted by the non-repetition of a large, roll-stock launch order in 2011, combined with our continuing strategy of focusing on higher margin business.

The effect of the expected reduction in foam revenues, together with the likely Euro impact, is that we anticipate full year Group revenues will be below expectations but with a negligible effect on profitability.

In conclusion, whilst global economic conditions remain challenging, the Board is pleased to confirm that we expect profitability for the full year 2012 to be in line with current market forecasts. The long term prospects for the Group remain excellent and we look forward to the coming months with confidence."
