Where on earth are you posting from.
Hope you dont have a heart condition while awaiting a reply.
HCEG had a couple of consolidations, and considerably more huge write offs.
In fact the write offs were MASSIVELY more than any turnover they ever achieved.
If ever there was a reason for AIM to tighten the rules, this was one of them.
They supposedly had the best management team ever and for many tears this thread was entertained by a vibrant group of supposed knowledgeable investors who couldnt see the wood for the trees.
Needless to say the person who touted it most suddenly vanished, a salutory lesson to any investor.
You could possibly use it against CGT on other positive share dealings, but you would have to check that out.

Fertiligent medical device receives FDA approval

Healthcare Enterprise Group PLC

("Healthcare Enterprise" or the "Group")

Fertiligent medical device receives FDA approval

Healthcare Enterprise, an international healthcare group, is pleased to announce
that Reproductive Sciences Limited ("RSL" or "the Company"), in which it holds a
27% interest, has reported that its Fertiligent artificial insemination device
has received formal approval from the US Food and Drugs Administration ("FDA")
for its sale in the United States.

Highlights:

· FDA approval received

· European CE approval for the final model received in March 2010

· Manufacturing & assembly agreement signed with Catheter Research, Inc of
Indianapolis, Indiana, USA

· Discussions underway to appoint US and international distributors with
the aim of commencing sales later in 2010

RSL holds the worldwide sales and marketing rights to Fertiligent's products,
including the "Evie" device. HCEG has contributed management oversight to RSL,
with direct private investment from funders including Nigel Wray.

RSL has focussed on Fertiligent's "Evie" product, a high quality, low cost
intrauterine sperm pump to help assist infertile couples conceive. From initial
trials conducted in Germany and Israel, Fertiligent offers infertile couples an
enhanced intrauterine insemination success rate and the chance of avoiding
invasive and costly artificial reproductive techniques such as in vitro
fertilisation.

The Company, RSL, owns 45% of the issued capital in the Israeli Fertiligent
Limited company, with options to increase that holding to 78% of the fully
diluted capital. RSL also owns the exclusive, worldwide sales & marketing rights
to the Israeli Fertiligent company's products.

Lyndon Gaborit, Executive Deputy Chairman of Healthcare Enterprise, commented:

"We are delighted that this critical milestone has been achieved for the
Fertiligent 'Evie' medical device. FDA approval, and the recently received CE
approval for the final production version, significantly reduces risk and paves
the way for a roll out of this exciting product around the world. Women's
reproductive health is a significant and increasing market and this new product,
which provides couples with a low cost alternative to existing reproduction
methods such as IVF, should, we believe, find good market acceptance with
associated returns to RSL's investors, including HCEG."

Latest bit of news - quite good for a change :-


26 November 2009


Healthcare Enterprise Group PLC


("Healthcare Enterprise" or the "Group")


Ebiox announces sales growth of 53% in Q3 and launch of new products


Healthcare Enterprise (AIM: HCEG), an international healthcare group, is pleased
to announce that Ebiox Limited, in which it holds a 20% interest, has reported
sales growth of 53% in the three months to September 2009, as compared to the
same period last year, following a GBP800,000 cash injection by private
investors, including Nigel Wray.


The July to September 09 quarter was the first under Ebiox' new management,
headed by John Honey, formerly Senior VP at Reckitt Benckiser plc.


Highlights:
* Sales up 53% on the same period last year following revenue growth of hand &
surface cleaning products
* Launch of new biodegradable, macerator-friendly, hard surface antimicrobial wipe
* Pipeline of new products includes a non alcohol-based sanitising foam hand rub

The new Trionic D biodegradable wipes contain the same proven Ebiox Trionic
formulation to clean and disinfect medical devices and hard surfaces, removing
biofilms and providing a broad efficacy in removing and killing harmful
pathogens. They use a high wet strength cellulose fibre sheet which is fully
biodegradable and can be disposed of after use through a macerator unit within a
Hospital sluice room thus avoiding the need to dispose of within a clinical
waste stream.


Great Ormond Street Hospital has just completed a successful six month trial of
the disinfectant wipes and Ebiox is currently engaged in discussions with other
potential customers, while also seeking to extend the use of the Ebiox Trionic
formulation to other healthcare and hygiene applications.


Ebiox Esense is a non alcohol based hand rub. The product has a broad range
antimicrobial efficacy and is fully compliant to the required European efficacy
standards for hygienic hand rubs used in medical environments. The formulation
is also Chlorhexidine and Triclosan free and encourages frequent use so as to
protect users against potential cross contamination issues and as a defense in
many situations arising from public places.


Lyndon Gaborit, Executive Deputy Chairman of Healthcare Enterprise, commented:


"We are delighted with the sales growth announced by Ebiox today. Whilst we have
seen some increased demand as a result of concerns about swine flu, Ebiox has
under its dedicated new management and with additional funding, displayed strong
growth and is developing a solid pipeline of new products."

Healthcare group has a month to find investment

Healthcare Enterprise Group, the Warrington-based healthcare product group that includes occupational healthcare and first aid operator Crest Medical, has warned that it may be unable to continue trading unless it secures investment in the next month. The group suspended trading of its shares on AIM in December after announcing it would not be able to publish its annual report and preliminary results in accordance with AIM rules. Since then it has raised £260,500 before expenses after selling almost 10 per cent of its holding in First Aid Holdings, but efforts to secure further investment have so far proved unsuccessful. However, it confirmed that it was still in talks with a small group of investors and is considering options to sell shares in investee companies

Appointment of Adviser/Placing/Trading Update (Healthcare Ent. Grp)

RNS Number : 7066D
Healthcare Enterprise Group PLC
18 September 2008


Healthcare Enterprise Group PLC

Appointment of Adviser, share placing, issue of a convertible loan, disposal of shares in
First Aid Holdings Ltd and trading update


Healthcare Enterprise Group Plc ("HCEG", the "Company", or "the "Group") is pleased to
announce the appointment of Daniel Stewart &
Company Plc as Nominated Adviser and broker to the Company with immediate effect. Trading in
the Company's shares, which was suspended on
18th August 2008 pending the appointment of a new nominated adviser, is expected to resume at
8:00 am today, 18 September 2008.

The Company also announces that it has raised £400,000 (before expenses) by the issue of
100,000,000 new ordinary shares at 0.3 pence
("Placing") Application has been made for the admission of the new ordinary shares to trading
on AIM, which is expected to be effective on
25 September 2008. The Company has also issued a convertible loan of £100,000, due in six
months and convertible subject to shareholder
approval at 0.3p per ordinary HCEG share (interest at 12% p.a. will only be payable if the
loan is not converted).
John Gunn, a director of the Company, has agreed to subscribe for 16,666,667 Ordinary
Shares in the Placing. Following completion of the
Placing, he will have an interest in 41,140,581 Ordinary Shares representing approximately
9.37 per cent. of the then issued share capital
of the Company. The directors, other than Mr Gunn, consider, having consulted with the
Company's Nominated Adviser, that the terms of the
transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
The Company has also sold 218,750 shares (9.8 per cent.) in First Aid Holdings Limited
("FAH") for a consideration of £437,500
("Disposal"), in order to provide working capital for the Group and to settle certain
liabilities assumed under the sale agreement of the
Group's former wholly owned subsidiary, Crest Medical Limited. The Group retains a 34.3 per
cent. shareholding in FAH. FAH and its
subsidiaries are engaged in the sale and distribution of first aid and healthcare related
products.
Whilst the proceeds of the Placing and the Disposal provide short term working capital for
the Group, until the end of 2008, it will
need to raise further capital to meet its medium and longer term requirements. The Company is
in advanced discussions with a small group of
investors, already known to the Company, with a view to raising up to a further £2.25m
("Additional Placing"). These funds, if raised, will
be used to finance the medium and long term development of the Company's businesses. This
Additional Placing would require the approval of
shareholders in General Meeting. Whilst the Directors are confident that the Additional
Placing will proceed, there can be no guarantee that
it will successful. Shareholders should note that in the event the Additional Placing does not
proceed, there can be no certainty that the
Company will be able to meet its financial commitments (assuming other sources of funding
cannot be secured) in the medium to long term. The
Company expects to finalise the Additional Placing within the next month and will make further
announcements as appropriate.
Proposed executive chairman of Ebiox Limited
The Company is pleased to announce that John Honey (aged 53) has agreed to become
Executive Chairman of its Ebiox Limited subsidiary.
He has invested £100,000 pursuant to the Placing.
John Honey brings a wealth of experience in the disinfectant and decontamination industry
as well as senior management roles in
marketing and general management. John previously served as Senior Vice President of Reckitt
Benckiser plc, responsible at various times
during his 29 year tenure as executive responsible for Reckitt's global cleaning and
disinfectant businesses, including Dettol, Lysol and
Cilit Bang brands and its worldwide over the counter business which included Boots Healthcare
International (which was acquired for £1.9Bn).

He retired from Reckitt's in 2007 to pursue private interests.
John's main focus initially will be on overseeing the development and further
commercialisation of the Ebiox range of disinfectant and
decontamination products, and the appointment of a suitably qualified chief executive for that
business. John will also advise on the
appropriate marketing strategy for the roll out of Fertiligent's "Evie" brand slow release
insemination device.
Mr. Honey intends in due course to join the main board of the Company, at which time a
further announcement will be made.
Ebiox
Further progress at Ebiox has been limited by a shortage of working capital and the
hardening of supplier payment terms. Customers have
been maintained although sales of Ebiox products have been affected. Synergy Healthcare Plc's
acquisition of Vernon Carus Limited, Ebiox
distributor to the NHS, will require a change in distributor due to product conflicts, and
sales under the agreement with Sultan Healthcare
Inc. have been below target due to general uncertainties and certain country specific
requirements which necessitate additional testing and
re-approvals for the 'Solo' branded range.
Ebiox has focused on maintaining supplies to existing customers whilst reviewing the
market opportunities and examining potential areas
of expansion and market cooperation. Patents, registrations and trademarks have been
selectively maintained (including in the USA) to allow
the later roll out of the companies' products in different geographical territories. The
Company has also reviewed its product offering and
will, following the appointment of John Honey as Executive Chairman and other new management
appointments, undertake product enhancements
and further development which will be funded from the Placing proceeds.
Reproductive Sciences Limited
The Company is pleased to announce good progress in Reproductive Sciences Limited ("RSL"),
which owns 19.8 per cent. of Fertiligent
Limited, an Israeli company which has developed a slow release insemination device to improve
the chance of conception. In previous trials
the Fertiligent product recorded a 234% improvement in success rate against IUI (from 6.66% -
15.55%). Further larger studies in 100
patients are commencing in Haifa, Israel in September 2008 and additional trials of the
product at The London Bridge Fertility, Gynaecology
and Genetics Centre, London Bridge, London, UK are expected to commence later in September
2008. An application for registration of the
product with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is presently underway with
approval expected to be secured before the end
of 2008.
The Company has advanced $150,000 to Fertiligent by way of a convertible loan and intends
to advance a further $100,000 under the same
convertible loan agreement, payable from the Placing announced above. These funds, which will
be used by Fertiligent for product trials and
working capital, convert into 9.4% of the equity such that RSL will own 29.2% of Fertiligent
with options to increase that holding to 71.7%
for the payment of an additional $1.5 million approximately. The Company is in discussions
with Fertiligent in relation to further capital
required to commence the marketing of the product internationally. RSL's contribution will be
funded from the Additional Placing mentioned
above.

Although the fraudulent methods used to manipulate the market for highly speculative securities, especially low-priced securities, have changed over time, many of the basic schemes employed have remained fairly constant. One common practice involves the use of reporting shell companies in "pump-and-dump" schemes. This type of scheme generally involves misleading investors. These schemes typically have many of the following characteristics:

the shell company has no or nominal assets and operations and a small trading market;

the shell company promoters issue large amounts of securities to themselves or designated nominees, sometimes using Form S-8;

the shell company acquires or is merged with a private business that the promoters claim has high growth potential;

inadequate information is available to investors regarding the post-transaction company;

the promoters "pump" up the price of the stock to investors through unduly positive press releases on the company and its prospects, exaggerated tout sheets, or fraudulent messages on the Internet;14

the promoters use high-pressure tactics to get people to invest, and also engage in market manipulation to create artificial demand and artificially high prices for the stock of the company; and

the promoters "dump" their stock in the company by selling it at the artificially high prices their promotional activities have created, halt those activities and move on, allowing the price of the stock to sink in value in the hands of the investors who have been misled into purchasing it.15

Many investors have been victimized in variants of the basic shell company scheme over the years.16
