Vicplas is likely to be one of the few companies that will gain from the corona virus issues. Their main businesses are medical devices n pipes n fittings. Their medical devices are represented by 2 companies in China:

- Forefront (Xiamen) Medical Devices Co., Ltd and
- Forefront Medical Technology (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd in China

Medical devices are basic needs in all hospitals n clinics. With so many hospitals opening in China, the company is likely to enjoy the upsurge in demands. As the corona issues started in late december, the results will only show in the later quarters ... feb to april.

Just sharing my thoughts. Dyodd

Note: the medical devices sector in Vicplas have been showing progress long before the corona virus issues. It contributed to $2.8 mil profit in the last season.

This company (Vicplas) could be am overlooked company selling medical
devices to hospital. With the huge number of hospitals being build, this
company should benefit from it.

Note that the company was already profitable before the corona virus issues.
It makes a profit of $2.8 mil from medical devices in its latest report. The other sector that the company is in Pipes n Fittings contributed another $1.4 mil.

The forthcoming results which cover the months of Nov ' 19 to Jan ' 20 may not
show much improvements as the virus issues were identified only in Dec ' 19.
Improved results should show in subsequent quarters ... Feb ' 20 to April ' 20 and again in May ' 20 and July ' 20. The financial year is from Aug to July.

Above are just my perceptions n i could be wrong. Dyodd.

Half year result was out last year on 14 Mar ' 19.

Company' s financial year ends in July.

The 2nd half from from Feb ' 20 to July ' 20 will reflect the full financial
impact of Covid ' 19 on the company.

Medical devices which are basic needs of every hospital should
do well in view of the opening of many hospitals.

Just sharing. Vested. Dyodd.
