FYI ...................

I posted the following on ANIK.
===================================

Ossigel Trial begins .....
biz.yahoo.com

end of post

[Background]
Ossigel's product is some variation of HA that fixes bones.
As you may be aware a company called Osteotech (OSTE) went
from nothing (7.00) to (30.00) last year.

I know ... I missed it.

In simply terms, they do bone glue. And make money.
ANIK is going to help them ->Ossigel's.

I don't know if Ossigel's thingie is a competitor to
OSTE. If it is, ANIK could make some nice $ from this.

Lastly, the bone glue side of life is so profitable
wonder if BIOX ever gave it a peek.

I posted the following on ANIK.
===================================
Size of Canadian O/A market .... big
chatelaine.com

As you may know, Anik & BMY will hit the beaches in Canada
right now. Yesterday.

Who cares?
BIOX probably does $1.7 mil.(Gross Sales) a year out of Canada.
(my guess)

That's about $5.2 million in Gross Sales to RPR who sells
Synvisc in Canada. (i.e. $1.7 mil is 35% of $5.2 mil.)

These $ are all in USA dollars. (Synvisc sells for $400C)

Eduardo is happy (g) and the bottom line is BMY will
undoubtly want to do well there.

Sheer ass guess, but I bet they take 70% of the Canadian
market by December. Reason:BMY will put up $$$ to have
marketing success in Canada.

I don't know if RPR or BIOX or RPR/BIOX will respond.

$5.0 mil. doesn't mean much to RPR. Conversely, BMY
has alot riding on OrthoVisc.

Wish AHP would buy out RPR and get into Canada.

I don't want Eduardo *winning* any *easy* ones.

Regards,

John
