x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Hi Tradechancellor Your question is interesting.  According to its 2005 Annual Report, AGM  was held in Netherlands on  27 April 06  However, an Information Meeting was held at Raffles Hotel on  24 April 06. The information mtg provided shareholders with an opportunity to raise relevant issues relating to the operations and financial results of the Company and allowed the shareholders to be informed of  the resolutions to be tabled at theAGM  and allowed shareholders ot ask questions relating to such resolutions.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Even those who bought the shares at about IPO prices shd not cut loss at the present low prices.  Pse don't fear take over you.    Ambu is being sued for infringing  LMA's patents in France, Germany and Netherland and can only stall for time to avoid pay damages.  With Ambu as the copycat out of the way  and after it pays damages to LMA,  LMA will be profitable thereafter. So, take heart - it's a temporary setback..  The share should head north , probably in 2007 since once the suits are served, Ambu cannot continue selling the imitation products..

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Being in the biosciences research arena myself, we do not change our reagents because of lower pricing. If indeed investors are not impressed by say, small % gains in profit, then, i would agree that a substantial compensation payout by Ambu would drive the prices up again. The other "secret weapon" is the 500grams stonebreaker which might prove to be a formidable force in driving profits up.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Despite the downtrending and contrasting views of interpreting the 2006 and 2005 results, I remain quite optimistic due to another dimension. The LMA products, being rather critical medical equipment, will not be easily replaced by another competitor simply by pricing. Doctors simply do not change products due to lower pricing. It has to be DUE TO BETTER EFFICACY and COST EFFECTIVENESS COMBINED. Being

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	First of all, I want to clarify that I am not talking down on this counter. I just want to do some sharing, and would like to test my own analytical skills. Actually, I would love to collect stocks which is really undervalues for long term returns, LMA, ChinaKangda, OSIM, Ouhua is in my close watch list, mainly because they are downtrending " a lot ".. I will enter OSIM anytime soon, just becasue I like the CEO.... who knows one of them would be the scorpia today? heee.. you never know... All right, here is the true figure about LMA. 1Q 2005 released May 12, 05 , gross profit 14.7% gain 2Q 2005 released Aug   4, 05 , gross profit 11.7% gain 3Q 2005 released Nov   7, 05 , gross profit  9% gain 4Q 2005 released Feb   9, 06 , gross profit  (1.7%)                            Year ended Dec 31, 2005  7.2% gain 1Q 2006 released May  4, 06 , gross profit (6.7%) 2Q 2006 released Aug  3, 06 , gross profit  7.7% gain 3Q 2006 released Nov  2, 06 , gross profit 2.5% gain                         Nine months ended Sep 30  1.2% gain 4Q 2006 released Feb  , 07 , gross profit   XXXXX                     Year ended Dec 31, 2006 YYYYY % gain Simple maths calculation here, until 9 months ended sep 30, 2006, the gain is only 1.2% . how much XXXXX gain must 4Q have in order to have wonder 20006 YYYYY % gain? even the 4Q is 30 % gain which is consider surprisingly good, year 2006 gain would be only around 8% gain for the whole 2006. that is not something fantastic which can push up the price. Unless, they announced some good news, eg. they won the law suitcase, (like creative) , then the price can have a big jump "in a short while"... That's all from me, cheers.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	hikitty, a lot of LMA shareholders (especially those IPO holders) are wondering what in the world is happening to this company with its share price trending down the last 2-3 trading days.  Company is a leader in its field, with solid track record, impressive market share and profit margins.  There is some threat from a number of competitors making inroads into their business.  Tell me a business that operates in a vacuum.  there are pending law suits that could go either way but management seems confident of its IP protection.  the selling in the last few trading session should be taken in context.  Total number of shares changing hands does not even up to 2% of 581 million share issued thus far.  The selling was largely done at/about the time management put out announcement regarding the release of its FY 2006 results on 8th Feb.  During this black-out period, no directors of SSH could come into the market to buy/sell because of info.  Fear and herd instincts are very powerful tools that can be used very effectively to move the market one way or the other.  H-san and other deep pocketed savvy investors are taking advantage the market is offering to buy a stock that is worth at least a 1.00 for 0.565 today.  We shall see in the next few weeks/months how things pan out.  Unfortunately, I don't have a crystal ball (unlike Jackjames) that can forecast LMA FY 2006 results with such a high degree of clarity and accuracy

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Dear Jackjames, Your reading trend materialized, however since I have substantial lots already, I hope it may drop as fast as it can as such I can do my money cost averaging effectively.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Hi jackjames Tks a million for the analysis.  There are other shares that report negative results every other year,  yet  rally up in prices every year.  Guess the present poor performance could be due more to a lack of understanding of LMA products.   Selling at low prices seems to have slowed down as evidenced by the low total volumes done for  the past few days.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	hikitty, as for my analysis, FY 2006 overall result is definitely not positive "enough", either flat earning or <10% gain compared to last year, mainly due to very poor Q1 results and so so Q2, Q3 results. If you see the year 2005 all 4 quarter results, even the gain is more than >10%, the price still swing downwards. I would expect a price drop again after the result announced. I would say wait until there is a clear rebound signal. Else, the selling pressure is there. You can see people are throwing hard today.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	If LMA's FY 2006 overall result is negative, there shd be a profit warning prior to its release.  However, the announcement on 25 Jan just mentioned 8 February as the date of its release.  Would seasoned forum  participants care to comment abt the recent dip to its new low prices since being listed, though its fundamentals are sound ?

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Dear iPunter, Ironically, performing stock does not give much better reward than underperforming stock, simply the underperforming stock has much much greater hidden potential gain and  still yet to be revealed and uncovered by market.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Agreed. Come to think of it, I'm worrying unecessarily because actually, the combined 9 months for this year is US$17 million, thats about S$26m net profit after tax! If we were to extrapolate to whole year of 2006, could well be S$33m. Very healthy and even though last year profit was negative, it was because of 1 time payment of compensation for stock related activites, not poor sales. The poor showing this few weeks, i agree with you is due to operators/syndicate manipulating the price. But against strong fundamentals, manipulators can only go so far in mocking it. Maybe we can sit back, relax, and let the strong fundamentals flex its muscles soon.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	How disastrous can LMA's  whole  year P&L  be since its last quarter was very profitable.  If it's that bad,  a profit warning shd have been issued by now. No better than a few China stocks with less fundamentals?  Interestingly it has underperformed the STI index since being listed in  2005 @ 88cts.
