New York Press Releases

(NewYork.CityRegions.Com, August 29, 2012 ) New York, NY -- Advanced Medical Isotope Corporation (ADMD), a company whose stock has recently set a new 52-week high after tripling in price on the prospects of recently-realized and some still-developing catalysts, may have positioned itself - through its key partnerships and growing distribution channels - as a leader in the US to meet the growing demand for medical isotopes. Additionally, the recent acquisition of a key license to an exclusive technology may have also positioned the company to usher in the next generation of such technology.
VFC's Stock House, an information and research outlet that brings ideas and opens discussions to a broad spectrum of investors, views the company as a potential big player in the future of the growing medical isotope industry, especially as AMIC brings in new technologies and patents to develop the 'treatments of the future.'

As described by Dr. Alan Walter, Chair of the Scientific Committee, in a presentation published on the company's home page, Advanced Medical is developing its proprietary technology to create what he terms as "smart bullets" - meaning isotopes that target only cancerous cells, while leaving healthy cells unharmed. This technology is a step beyond and preferable to the currently-standing chemotherapy and radiation treatments that help to target cancerous cells, but also damage the healthy tissue.
An April acquisition demonstrates AMIC's progress along these lines as the company, at that time, acquired a license and eight patents relating to an injectible radiogel technology that can deliver Yttrium-90 "microspheres" directly into cancerous tissue. Yttrium-90 is an already-established medical isotope with numerous applications in cancer treatment, but its application in the radiogel holds significant advantages over current treatments, especially because the radiogel allows only a minimal amount of radiation to escape, thereby causing little - if any - damage to healthy tissue. In essence, this is the comparison to the "smart bullet" described by Dr. Walter. That noted benefit could quickly enable the product to steal market share from the current standard, should it gain acceptance into the community.
The ADMD share price started move after the announcement of this deal, most likely because the company now had another angle at which to attack a lucrative market already loaded with potential. Shares have settled in a tight range since, however, and are trading at a very attractive market cap, considering the potential of the technology on hand. Also adding to the drop from the highs could have been a mid-August 8k filing announcing the granting of three million shares that became fully-vested at the time of issuance.
That said, with a solid management and scientific team at the helm and numerous technologies and business growth strategies with which to attack the market, ADMD could have the makings of a nice, speculative growth story for investors willing to take the small-cap risk that always accompanies the small-cap reward potential.
The foundations for success are well in place, the portfolio is stocked with currently-distributed products, and emerging technologies could take AMIC to the next level.
