As per my previous post, this is now up 60% in a month and nobody seems to have noticed.

[darola] 31/3/2008 22:14

What going on here then? On the up?

[mikey34] 14/2/2008 10:00

Today`s announcement of shares in lieu of part salaries gives the directors plenty of incentive to get the share price moving....theyre out of pocket at this price.

irenekent(Or anybody else who may be listening)

Thought I might try to kick start some discussion here.Briefly, I`m surprised this has come back so far after seemingly beginning a recovery.There`s been some fairly promising news over the last few months.Comments?

Glad to see sales seem to be ahead of expectations. Remember that if implants don't have to be removed that saves on medical costs. I think insurance companies will be right behind these products as it could save them a fortune. One less operation means one less chance of MRSA etc!

And clearance announced today for bio-dagradable implants for the repair of all skeletal fractures excluding spinal (seperate product) in the EU. This I think could be a significant achievement as Inion can now attack the central markets for fracture repair. Hoping for a rerating - assuming the sales team get their finger out!

[irenekent] 15/5/2007 11:02

Another patent in the US today. There's life in this one yet!

[irenekent] 22/2/2007 15:02

I think they are starting to deliver on their promises. The new products, just approved in the States appear to be a core addition to the range and should significantly expand their sales. Most people would choose a biodegradable splint, if given a choice, rather than carrying around a lump of metal for the rest of their life! The rise in the share price since the announcement seems to bear out my reading of the significance of this. I just hope that they don't get taken over by the like of Smith & Nephew before we have a chance to make a profit on these.

[deep powder] 31/1/2007 15:40

[deep powder] 30/1/2007 15:59

all very dull at the moment...

This is a step in the right direction

Inion Expands Biodegradable Medical Implant Product Ranges in Europe

Inion ANCHRONTM Plus Suture Anchor System receives CE Mark



Tampere, Finland and Takeley, UK. 19 January 2007...Inion (LSE: IIN.L), a
company focused on the development of novel biodegradable medical implants, has
received CE Mark from the British Standards Institution (BSI) for the Inion
ANCHRONTM Plus Suture Anchor device for both orthopaedic and sports medicine
applications. This product received equivalent 510(k) regulatory clearance for
marketing in the USA in November 2006. CE Mark is required by a number of
accredited bodies to medical device manufacturers prior to commercial
distribution in the European Union.



Inion ANCHRONTM Plus with CP-FiberTM suture is an innovative biodegradable
medical system for use in soft tissue to bone fixation (e.g. for repair of
ligament/tendon rupture or detachment) and can be used for repairing a range of
injuries. It has particular application in the shoulder, such as for rotator
cuff and instability repairs (such as Bankart and SLAP lesions). The system can
also be used to repair injuries in the elbow, ankle and knee. The high grade
CP-FiberTM suture offers special advantages over traditional polyester sutures,
including superior handling properties and increased strength.



Inion ANCHRONTM Plus supersedes Inion ANCHRONTM, Inion's first biodegradable
anchor system, and is a new addition to Inion's range of sports medicine devices
made from the Company's proprietary Inion OPTIMATM range of biomaterials. This
range includes Inion HEXALONTM, the world's first coloured biodegradable repair
device for the cruciate ligaments in the knee; Inion TRINIONTM, the
biodegradable meniscal screw for the repair of torn knee cartilage; and Inion
ANCHRONTM, which received its CE Mark and 510(k) approval in 2005.



Dr Auvo Kaikkonen, CEO of Inion commented, 'We are very pleased to have received
a CE Mark for Inion ANCHRONTM Plus, allowing patients and surgeons across Europe
access to a product that we believe offers a considerable performance advantage
over other suture anchors currently available.'



CP-FiberTM is a trademark of CP Medical, Inc., Portland, OR, USA.

perky today...

[deep powder] 12/1/2007 15:52

i still think it is in the bad but good news category, this is getting cleaned up for a deal....question is what price?

[pugugly] 10/1/2007 14:54

Bad news particularly (imo etc)

"The net loss for the year will be higher than expected as the Company has
decided to make a number of one-time write-offs. The value of these items is
expected to be around Euro7.0 million. This includes a deferred tax asset of Euro4.1 million."

The write off of the deferred tax asset would apparently imply that the Board do not expect the Company to be profit making in the forseeable future -

Could an accountant double check me on this and if my interpretation is wrong I will amend this posting.

[deep powder] 02/1/2007 16:23

Very quiet here, what's happened to all the 'takeover' boys?

[deep powder] 27/12/2006 15:33

latest rns, bad but good news??

[deep powder] 15/12/2006 05:33

grasping at straws but stock seems to be forming a base, last news announcements more positive, interesting to see result of strategic review. any fresh thoughts here?

[eddiegoldstein] 29/11/2006 08:37

change of CEO, it had to happen Dr Auvo Kaikkonen was obviously useless!

Don't hold but very undervalued.

[currypata kai] 24/11/2006 13:54

its funny...barclays are quoting 21-27 for 15000 shares yet they are 24-24 on advfn.

[trawl] 24/11/2006 11:28

while things seem bleak surely the co still has substantial cash

[jotoha1] 24/11/2006 11:09

Looks like it's another classic FLOP, everyone has made a nice pile on this share except for the poor old punters who have been sold hype...god knows where the bottom is on this one probably 2p, wish my CFD was still in place!

[simon gordon] 24/11/2006 09:51

Who would buy them?

They don't own anything that is unique.

The CEO has yet to be fired for a catalogue of failures.
