Posted at 16/3/2005 06:52 by chillout2 CFB - You raise some valid points. I am also looking at this company and I'd appreciate it if you could email a copy of the ANT prospectus to me at ChillOut11@hotmail.cI'd better have a good read before I take the plunge (if at all). Many thanks, ChillOut |
Posted at 15/3/2005 20:42 by cfb2 damanko: I'm currently reading through their prospectus and trying to work out whether to invest.From initial reading there are some things that worry me...All directors have lock in agreements, but David Fell (CTO) doesn't - although 300K of options.Tony Caplin (Non-exec chairman) is obviously the VC stooge, with a vast string of companies that have collapsed in his wake, seems to be overly rewarded with £45K renum and lots of share options. Currently director of 19 other companies - even in his position this is excessive.Simon Woodward (CEO) on 170K seems high for company with 40 ppl that's losing ~£1m a year. I'm not one of those people that thinks that you shouldn't reward performance with equivalent pay, but I like to see a low salary and plenty of shares for that incentive.Enough on emoluments, onto competition...From the browser market they've got some pretty stiff competition with Microsoft, Mozilla and Opera. Although producing a browser that is suited to a STB is no trivial task which their competitors don't currently do (although Opera is probably the closest). However, given their software architecture they would find it more difficult to embed technologies like ActiveX into STBs if their licensees wanted to tread that path.Fresco is obviously portable, but with that flexibility comes the difficulty of implementing specific platform features.ANT's sources of incoming are royalties, fees and professional service income.Access fees are derived from license sales of their browser software. Royalty income is received in respect of every unit that the group's customers ship containing their browser. They give the example that royalty is calculated as fixed price per unit with stepped changes dependent of volume of sales.I see the problem with their source of income in the fact that ANT are sandwiched between the customer, who wants to pay as little as possible for their STB, and the service provider, who is trying to squeeze every last penny.
