I would expect higher than 33p. An interesting article below relating to investors looking for patents. Bodes well for MLH

Edging up as investors seek out bargains in the ruins.

This business model will lead to increasing revenue from licences whilst overheads are kept to the minimum.

Featured in the Sunday Times ... fairly positive article which suggested that the 30p spike price was not unjustified .... there may be a movement on Monday, but then again the credit chrunch may keep investors money in their pockets.

Chairman's Statement

The Medical House specialises in the development and manufacture of innovative
medical devices.


The principal operating businesses are:

1. Drug delivery systems: Medical House Products Limited
2. Instruments and implants for the orthopaedic market: Eurocut Limited

We are pleased to report that our drug delivery business continues to make
excellent progress as illustrated by the significant development, licence and
supply agreement we signed in December 2006 for our ASI disposable autoinjector
technology. As anticipated when announcing our 2006 annual results on 10 October
2006, Eurocut has continued to find trading in its core orthopaedics market
difficult. Therefore, new markets have been targeted with some success but, as
expected, volumes from the new activities are low as it takes time to win the
confidence of a new customer base.

The drug delivery business is a major success in an area which has seen very
high valuations placed on companies with profiles similar to The Medical
House's. Our orthopaedics activities are based on specialist engineering
expertise, but the business is currently diversifying as a result of the soft
demand for orthopaedic instruments. The Directors believe that the contrasting
performances of the two divisions is causing confusion amongst investors which
is suppressing the value of the Group. The directors are therefore actively
pursuing a strategy to maximise shareholder value with respect to the
orthopaedic business.

In our results to 30th June 2006, we announced that we had received approaches
for the purchase of our needle-free insulin injector business. We continue to
actively explore the possibility of disposing of this element of our activities
which no longer fits our business model of licensing and supplying devices
solely to pharmaceutical and healthcare company clients.


Group Financials

The Group is reporting a pre-tax loss before reorganisation costs of #539,000
(2005: #392,000) on sales which were slightly lower at #2.7m (2005: #2.9m) for
the six months ended 31st December 2006. This represents a reduced loss to that
reported for the six months ended 30th June 2006.


Drug Delivery Division: Medical House Products Limited (MHP)

Sales in the six months grew by 148% to #730,000 (2005: #294,000) despite the
division not yet enjoying major benefits of the anticipated product launches for
pharmaceutical company partners' drugs with our needle-free and autoinjector
devices.

The highlight of the period was undoubtedly the signing of the development,
licence and supply agreement with projected sales of #27m, with a major global
pharmaceutical company, for a customised version of our ASI disposable
autoinjector. This agreement not only has significant financial benefits for the
company but also enhances our company's credibility in our marketplace. The
development phase of this project is progressing well.

Our ASI autoinjector technology continues to be favourably received and we
remain confident that further development, licence and supply contracts will be
signed in due course.

Our ASI device can be used in conjunction with almost any pre-filled syringe and
offers major economic, safety and convenience advantages by enabling patients to
self-inject their medications without any clinical expertise. This in turn
creates significant competitive advantages for pharmaceutical companies who
incorporate their injectable drug products within such a device. In the past
year a number of self-injected drugs have been successfully launched with
pre-filled, disposable autoinjectors and all indications are for this trend to
gain further momentum as newly-developed biologic drugs (which are more likely
to require injection) are brought to market. Our technology is also extremely
adaptable as it can be easily adjusted to vary volume, speed and depth of an
injection. This flexibility of the ASI technology allows us to provide clients
with a specific solution to their requirements and, as a result, most future
agreements for the ASI are likely to involve some form of customisation.

In addition to the contracts we have already announced, we have further
developed the ASI platform technology with designs well advanced for a "mini"
version of the device (for therapies which require users to carry their drugs
with them at all times) and a version which automatically mixes dry
formulations with liquid diluents, prior to automated injection. In addition to
our existing system for delivery of viscous (e.g. sustained release) drugs,
these variants within the ASI range of autoinjectors have significant commercial
potential and our intellectual property management strategy is focused on
protection of this innovation.

Sales growth in the short term largely depends on the demand for our clients'
drug products which are being partnered with our devices. These products are at
various stages of commercialisation but the timing of their commercial launches
is in the hands of our customers. However, with the development, licence and
supply agreements already in place, we remain very confident of a future of
sustained growth for many years to come.


Orthopaedic Division: Eurocut Limited

Sales in the six months to 31st December were #2m (2005: #2.7m) in line with the
expectations we communicated to shareholders in the 2006 year-end results. Sales
were held back due to a much quieter overall orthopaedic market which has
similarly affected our competitors in the orthopaedic instrumentation field. We
were also affected by the continued absence of the orders which have been
deferred due to a major customer experiencing delays in US FDA regulatory
approval. This particular position has not changed since our last announcement;
however, we continue to work closely with our customer on this product line.

During the last six months we incurred reorganisation costs of #56,000 due to
redundancy expenses, as we continue to restructure Eurocut into a diverse
business, serving a variety of markets and with several income streams. With the
appointment of additional business development staff and, whilst utilising our
existing skills and machinery, our non-orthopaedic orders are steadily
increasing and we fully expect this growth to gather momentum in the coming
months.

New customers invariably wish to see evidence of our capability to produce a
quality product in a timely manner. Consequently, small orders are typically
received in the first instance, followed by more regular, larger orders. During
the past six months we have completed a number of such initial orders for a
diverse range of products. Over the next six months we now expect to receive the
benefits of these efforts and the volume of our non-orthopaedic business should
steadily increase from here. The added advantage of the new areas we have
entered is that the margins we are able to achieve are generally much higher
than those currently available in orthopaedics.

With no signs yet of a major pick up in the orthopaedic market, the recovery in
Eurocut's sales and profits will come from these new markets, customers and
products. In order to demonstrate our commitment to our new customers in
different industries, we have formed a new company, TMH Precision Engineering,
which will be responsible for all non-medical work. A new website is being
created and a sales force, with experience in relevant markets has been
recruited. Eurocut, which has an established brand name in the medical world,
will supply only medical products.


Outlook

The drug delivery division will continue to progress on all fronts and we remain
very confident of its continued success in formalising further collaboration
agreements and partnerships. Short term results will be influenced by the pace
of the recovery at Eurocut, and the performance of the newly-formed TMH
Precision Engineering. Meanwhile, given the performance of our orthopaedic
operations, and the current depressed market valuation of the Group, the
Directors continue to review all strategic options for the orthopaedic and
needle-free businesses. Finally, I would like to thank all my colleagues who
have worked extremely hard to create a company of which they can all be very
proud.

Elan Licenses Its Nanocrystal Technology to Roche

"PA"


Business Editors/Health/Medical Writers

ATHLONE, Ireland – (BUSINESS WIRE) – April 21, 2004 –

Proprietary Elan technology helps improve drug delivery by

transforming drugs into more effective and “user friendly”

dosage forms to increase patient convenience and compliance.

Elan Pharma International Ltd., a subsidiary of Elan Corporation plc, today announced an agreement to license its proprietary NanoCrystal(TM) technology to Roche. NanoCrystal technology can improve the bioavailability of drugs by transforming them into nanometer-sized particles that can be used to create more effective and convenient dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, liquids, and powders. The license agreement will provide Roche with access to NanoCrystal technology and the rights to apply the technology to a drug candidate currently in clinical development.

“We are pleased that we are going to continue to work with Roche to apply our NanoCrystal technology to the formulation of this drug candidate,“ said Paul Breen, executive vice president, Global Services & Operations, Elan. “For more than 30 years, Elan has been working to meet the challenges of drug delivery and enhance the performance of drugs. By addressing poor water solubility through the use of NanoCrystal technology, Elan Pharma International Ltd. continues to play a role in furthering the development of drug candidates. In addition, our technology can help companies to differentiate their current therapies from the competition by creating more effective and convenient treatment options for patients.”

In the agreement, Elan will provide Roche with formulation services and technology in exchange for research revenues, development milestones and royalties on sales of the product incorporating or made using NanoCrystal technology.

“We are pleased to bring our 2003 evaluation agreement with Elan to this next level and are enthusiastic about the potential of NanoCrystal technology,“ said Urs Saner, Roche’s Head of Pharma Technical Development. “This agreement further strengthens our ability to deliver value for patients as we continue to develop innovative, differentiated medicines.”

About Elan’s NanoCrystal Technology

NanoCrystal technology may enhance the clinical performance of poorly water-soluble drugs by transforming them into nanometer-sized particles. An increasing number of the drug candidates synthesized each year by pharmaceutical companies are poorly water-soluble. Many of these potentially innovative drug candidates are often abandoned because of poor pharmacokinetic properties including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. NanoCrystal technology has the potential to rescue a significant percentage of these chemical compounds. The drug in nano-form can be incorporated into common dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, inhalation devices, sterile forms for injection, with the potential for substantial improvements to clinical performance. There are currently two pharmaceutical products that have been commercialised incorporating NanoCrystal technology, with several additional product launches anticipated over the next two years. The NanoCrystal technology is protected by 85 issued U.S. patents and 48 pending patents. More information about Elan’s NanoCrystal technology is available at www.nanocrystal.com.

Waldron - Do you believe that other MLH investors won't be able to find the results without you posting the whole effin' lot?
Why not provide a link and just quote the bits that you find interesting, then sensible investors won't have to scroll through reams of stuff that they've already read.
