A demographics play in treatment of prostrate cancer. Dominant in their field. Midicare payment problem seems to be getting worked out. R&D is looking for other cancer treatments.

Seeds for cancer patients but also do surgical products. Marginally profitable but revenues are up to record levels at about $80 million. Paying down debt. Would like to see a cleaner balance sheet.

TOP PICK
Cancer therapy. Revenues have grown. Acquired a $10 million company for $30 million, which was questionable. Fairly clean balance sheet.

WEAK BUY
Prostate cancer field. Recently expanded into all kinds of other medical devices, including some four cats and dogs. Made some poor acquisitions. Not happy with management.

(A Top Pick Sept 6/05. Up 9.5%.) They have cut out their R&D which will save them a lot of money. Acquired another firm which will increase their revenues. They have a beautiful balance sheet. Still have it on their BUY list.

TOP PICK
In the medical products field and treat prostate cancer. Their R&D over the last couple of years has not produced anything. Has a pretty good balance sheet and no debt. BV take a hit because they will be writing off their nuclear research assets. Restructuring and if they just do anything right they will be good as they are dominant in their field.

TOP PICK
They have an isotope that is a less invasive way of treating prostrate cancer as opposed to surgery. They're dominant in this field. Had difficulty because of insurance coverage issues. Their competition also has treatment methods, so have competition. Losing money because of more going into R & D. New marketing may help.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 14/04. Down 12%.) Have about $30 million in revenues. Operate in the prostrate cancer area which is a growing field. Still on their buy list, but wait until December for tax loss selling. No debt. Good management.

Had revenues over $50 million and stock price was over $30. Revenues then dropped to $30 million. Prostate cancer continues to grow demographically and they have a proven product for this. A lot of competition. No long-term debt.
