 Alert Admin 		Below is my post on 3 Feb 2020.

I like the way the medical devices segment was trending. Revenue had jumped
from $24.9 mil in 2017 to $45.0 in 2019. And in 2019, the company had a profit
of $4.2 mil, without the wuhan health issues. It actually doesnt not matter to me
even if there is no wuhan health issues. In fact, i wish that there was no wuhan
health issues. Its cruel n people are suffering and dying. And i pray that the issues
be quickly resolved.

To reiterate, i was not in this counter bcoz of the wuhan issues. I was already vested
before the issues. (See posting below) I went in for the low valuation, potential
growth, excellent dividends. The wuhan health issues was just an add-on.

 Alert Admin 		Yes i am heavily vested in Vicplas long before the wuhan virus issues.
Company has 2 main businesses:
- pipes n fittings
- medical devices.
Pipes n fittings have been profitable all these years. Medical devices was
loss making but has turnaround w turnover of $45 mil n profit of S2.8 mil.
This was before the wuhan virus issue. This sector, medical device sector,
has been growing meaningfully in the last 3 years.

China is one of the main base for the manufacturing of these medical devices.
Medical devices is a basic need of all hospitals. It cover a wide range of
products. I suggest you google n understand more about what is medical devices.
The wuhan virus issue will definitely need lots of medical devices. This wuhan issue
is only an add on to the reasons for my being vested.

If you scroll below you will the see the 3 reasons why i am vested.

 Alert Admin 		My 1st post was on 22 Jan 2020. See below:

Share some notes on Vicplas International.

Vicplas has been a profitable company for the past years. See below:
 
vicplas FY' 16 FY' 17 FY' 18 FY' 19
revenue 76104 63,710 68,673 80,165
net profit 5,381 3,206 2,950 4,236

The company has consistently distributed dividends of 0.75 cts per year for the last 5 years.
This give a yield of 8.2% on the last closing price of 9.1 cts.

Just sharing. Am vested for the excellent dividend.

Note that the company was profitable even before the wuhan health issues. The wuhan
health issues is an add-on to the company' s performance.

A quote taken from the  below mentioned article:

China scrambled to find bed space for thousands of newly infected patients on Thursday,
as the death toll from the novel coronavirus soared to 563.

More than 28,000 people are now known to be infected nationwide in the outbreak that
has spiralled into a global health emergency.

Two dozen countries now have confirmed cases of the coronavirus that emerged from
a market selling exotic animals at the end of last year.

On Thursday, thousands of people were stranded aboard two cruise ships in Asia, with
tests finding that 20 people had contracted the virus in one of the vessels.

At the Chinese epicentre of the epidemic in Hubei province, the locked-down city of
Wuhan was due to open a second field hospital, offering 1,600 beds.

The first hospital, with 1,000 beds, opened earlier this week, and authorities said they
were converting public buildings into temporary medical facilities to deal with the influx
of sick people.

The city of 11 million is facing a " severe" lack of beds, said Hu Lishan, a senior official
in Wuhan, noting that there were 8,182 patients admitted to 28 hospitals that have
a total of 8,254 beds.

There is also a shortage of equipment and materials, Hu told reporters.

The central government has announced measures intended to ensure the supply of vital
medical resources, with tax breaks for manufacturers of equipment needed to fight the
epidemic.

" We must make all-out efforts across the country to meet the need for essential
medical supplies and medical professionals in Hubei Province," Premier Li Keqiang
said, according to the official Xinhua news agency. ...........

A quote from the company:

Over the last six years (including FY2019) the segment has focused on improvements in the following areas:
- Building more and better capabilities to provide customers with the products, services and people needed to give them the right solutions, all under one roof
- Investing in automation to improve plant utilisation and efficiency
- Investing in training to build a highly proactive and experienced team with the right technical expertise and high engagement in the business
- Expanding into electro-mechanical design and manufacture. Faster and more effective collaborative project commercialisation
... end of quote ...

Pls note: Vicplas is not a popular stock. It' s thinly traded. Often, there is a gap between buyer n seller.
Its not a stock for punters or those who do not hold long. Its for those who are willing to hold long.

Take care ... dyodd

 Alert Admin 		I may be wrong but I do believe that given the current health situations in wuhan n other places in China,
the medical devices sector should do well especially the Air Management n Respiratory areas.
Below are some figures on the medical devices sector:

Revenue from medical devices.
2017 - $24.9 mil
2018 - $30.4 mil
2019 - $45.0 mil

The above is the overall performance of the sector, inclusive of China n other countries.

 Alert Admin 		Results like to be out around mid March 2020.
Results like to be good. The medical devices sector had been growing.
See below:

Revenue from medical devices.
2017 - $24.9 mil
2018 - $30.4 mil
2019 - $45.0 mil

With the health issues in China the demand for medical devices will grow, especially
when new hospitals are put up in addition to those which are around.

Company is well represented in China, see earlier posting. The medical devices
for Airway Management and Respiratory are likely yo see huge demands.
