The Female Health Company Expects to Report Modest Profit in FY2011 Third ... SYS-CON Media (press release)
CHICAGO, July 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Female Health Company (NASDAQ-CM: FHCO), today provided information regarding its financial expectations for the third quarter of FY2011. The Company announced that, while it should report a modest profit and higher unit shipments for the third quarter of FY2011 than in the prior-year quarter, unit shipments, revenues and net income will be adversely affected by bureaucratic delays and other timing issues involving the receipt and shipment of anticipated substantial orders from Brazil and the Republic of South Africa. As a result, while the Company expects positive operating earnings for FY2011, results will be significantly less than earlier guidance. Since the May 6, 2011 announcement that the Company's Brazilian distributor, Semina Industria e Comercio (Semina), was awarded a tender for up to 20 million female condoms, unexpected bureaucratic issues have delayed the placement of orders under the terms of the tender. The Company is awaiting the resolution of certain administrative issues in the Republic of South Africa that have delayed a tender award for the purchase of up to 11 million female condoms.
Bono: TED Prize wish: Join my call to action on Africa

Who would you have chosen recipient of the Nobel Peace prize, winner Professor Muhammad Yunus or Bono? Why?
Bono joined forces with Motorola, Apple, Gap, Converse, Viacom, and many others forming Red Charity. Proceeds going to programs in Africa to fight HIV & AIDs. Bono also joined Bill & Belinda Gates Foundation co-founding DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa) organization, which fights poverty and HIV in the developing world.
Muhammad Yunus and his Grameen Bank has been instrumental in helping millions of poor Bangladeshis, many of them women, improve their standard of living by letting them borrow small sums to start businesses. "Every single individual on earth has both the potential and the right to live a decent life. Across cultures and civilizations, Yunus and Grameen Bank have shown that even the poorest of the poor can work to bring about their own development," the Nobel Committee said in its citation.
Two great programs but how do you stop people from dying of AIDS long enough to create a better life when the country lacks medication & testing?
Definitely Dr. Yunus. He started his program 40 years ago when he himself had nothing - with only $27 dollars in his pocket (or it's equivalent), he decided he was going to do what he could to bring about change. That's the great thing about what he has accomplished. Most of us are kept from doing small things that can bring about big changes because we think "what can I do by myself?" but he did exactly that - he was one person trying to do what he could to help someone less fortunate than him with the limited means that he had at that time - and now, he is helping millions of people, not only in Bangladesh, but around the world become self-sufficient. I think he is an inspiration to every average person around the world to become motivated and bring about change to make the world a better place.
Go, Dr. Yunus! And, Bono, I still love your music!
Bono's heart is in the right place, but the programs he's been advocating, like debt relief, Official Developmental Aid, etc., give money to NGOs or governments (or forgive their debts), where it's mostly wasted or lost to corruption. Little to no money filters down to the people who really need it, and in many cases, it keeps corrupt governments in power who ensure their people remain poor and hungry.
Bangladesh is not at all affected by HIV/Aids rather poverty is a cause.
