If you are uncertain that BIG is good, then sell your shares to most of us fans here who are ready to buy at the current range.  Anything below 60 cents is a good buy for me.

I jsut bought 50 lots at 57 cents and not worried though it has gone down half a cent..

Cheers.

Taken from the horses mouth... Q-2-Q is good consider some minor fluctuation in sales, it means they need to keep the eye on the ball, Forex and sales of IVP and new Biometrix.

With 2.55mm Biometrix CE marked in March, I see more reasons to support this. The coming quarters should have better sales figures, Q4 DES better than Q3, so i guess IVP has dropped. I hope they hedge the currencies. Cost is on the way down as I know they are doing it rigorously internally (grin...wink wink), so all eyes on sales and forex. Given such a consistent record, reflected by the share price curve also, no wonder analyst TP is about 90 ish before the result. I dont think TP will change much either. Whether they break into black is inmaterial as the loss is not really great, the fact is the management team is doing their bid to ensure consistency which is what good stock should have and not roller coaster, snake and ladder ride. See for yourselves the curve against the favourite hot stocks in the market (what S-chip and Genting?). DOYDD&HW.

Biosensors International Group, which develops, manufactures and markets innovative medical devices used in interventional cardiology and critical care procedures. today announced strong sales and earnings growth for its fourth fiscal quarter (4Q FY09) and fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 (FY09).

 

Total product sales in the fourth quarter were US$20.5 million ($29.75 million), a 75% increase over the same period a year ago (4Q FY08), driven largely by continued growth in the sales of BioMatrix drugeluting stents.

For FY09, total revenue was US$119 million, a 168% increase over FY08. Of this increase, US$40 million was a one
time, nonrecurring payment received from Terumo Corporation to reduce future revenue sharing arrangements.

In 4Q FY09, the group reported a net profit of US$0.4 million compared to a net loss of US$20.7 million in 4Q FY08.

For FY09, the company reported a net loss of US$1.1 million compared to a net loss of US$31.6 million for FY08.

The company also reported significant gross margin improvement for its interventional cardiology products for both 4Q FY09 and FY09. Product gross margins were 65% for 4Q FY09, versus 36% for 4Q FY08, and 60% for FY09 versus

2010 product revenue forecast is between 90m-100m. This is excluding royalties and licensing fees.

Would like to see their q-o-q figures. G Margin improvement for ICP but how much does the ICP account for total revenue? These are all headline numbers intended to thrill. Should look @revenue streams of product line especially the much touted stent. Overall they did eke out a profit which is well and good but wat is the forward guidance? anyone?

No surprise in the overall results. Just a point to note is the weak DES pricing....sold more DES but achieved lower sales as compare to the 3Q.

hi, i agreed that that we should read the details carefully and we should not just assume that 1+1=2.

Without the US$40m, there won't be a US$10m tax (mainly due to the US$40m) in the 1QFY09 and the licensing fee would also be larger. There are also some one-off writedown in the 1Q & 2QFY09 due to the restructuring.

A better gauge would be to compare q-o-q instead of y-o-y or look at the 2HFY09 performance instead of the whole FY09.

read the ddetails carefully.

There is a royalty payment of $40m which is non-recurring. Without this, the loss would be $41m, and not $1m, worst than last year despite the much higher revenue.

In 4Q FY09, the Group reported a net profit of US$0.4 million (0.04 US cent earnings per basic

and diluted share) compared to a net loss of US$20.7 million (1.97 US cent loss per basic and

diluted share) in 4Q FY08. For FY09, the Company reported a net loss of US$1.1 million (0.11 US

cent loss per basic and diluted share) compared to a net loss of US$31.6 million (3.20 US cent

loss per basic and diluted share) for FY08. The decrease in net loss for the quarter was mainly

due to higher product revenue and improved gross margins, reduced operating expenses,

improved JWMS operating results offset by an exchange loss of US$3.7 million recorded in 4Q

FY09. For FY09, the decrease in loss per share was the result of the same factors that affected

4Q FY09, combined with the positive effect of the US$40.0 million of license‐related revenue

recognized in the first quarter of the fiscal year.

If some of the forumers foreign currency expert have helped them a bit then the result would have been in BLACK Forex loss was the key reason they stayed in red. The fundamental is the sales and revenue are all up and the cost is down, this shows they are in good control of the basic business and bet on the wrong currency to hold. USD ... instead of SGD....I guess. Very positive in my view...lets see what other analysts has to say. As stock market is forward looking, I would suck up as many as I can afford......hehe good luck to me and other doing the same...

Typical historical tendency of BIG, going down after the results. It starts now. Clear your positions immediately. Take profit / minimise lose. BB play starts now.

My advise only to small players less than 100 lots.

Market expectation is BIG turning around to black slighly in this FY09. If it is still slightly in red, still price will be moving under .60. Well above .60 only when BIG can show a DARK BLACK.
