All quiet so far this year. Always takes a while for investment banks to get going after Christmas, but we should start to get some deal flow in the next couple of weeks.

No, not seen the 10 day announcement yet. Well if it completes in early January then that will give a good kick-start to next year's results. This year is good enough for CS!

share.

The funds raised will be used in the development and exploitation of Alibi's
portfolio of intellectual properties and to provide the Company with additional
working capital.

Both the fundraising, which is not underwritten, and the conversion of loans are
conditional upon the passing of shareholder resolutions to allow the directors
to allot new Ordinary Shares free from pre-emption rights at the Company's

Notes to Editors

Alibi now owns or controls rights in the following core properties:-


Brand Properties - Which do not require Television exposure

I Love Egg - a web-based project created in South Korea. Each egg character
(there are presently 105 of them and the Company can create more) can be a
moulded plastic collectible toy. It is hoped that with careful marketing and
promotion the collection and trading of these egg characters may become a
schoolyard craze. The Company has already signed licences for a range of
plastic toys, posters, t-shirts, stationery and greetings cards. Others are in
negotiation, including one for food products.

Somebunny to Love - a new cuddly rabbit property from talented artist, Michael
Abrams. It was launched at the UK Brand and Licensing Show at Earls Court a few
weeks ago and attracted considerable attention. Alibi has deals in place for a
range of merchandise including soft toys, giftware, greetings cards and
stationery.

Hammer Films - iconic, classic UK brand, based on a number of gothic horror
films made principally in the 1960s. The Company has the licensing and
merchandising rights for the brand and are in negotiation with a range of
manufacturers to launch Hammer products onto the market.

Rambling Ted - for his former owners this little bear with big blue boots earned
over £20 million in retail sales. With a substantial existing art-bank and
creator Mike Abrams eager to create fresh images Ted will be aimed principally
at the gift market where he has been extremely successful before. Having
recently relaunched this property, Alibi is in negotiations with potential
licensees for ranges of soft toys and stationery. These are in addition to the
existing licences for tissues and greetings cards.

Child Hazel - a beautiful hand written and illustrated book featured by the
Sunday Times Magazine on 26 September 2004. Following the Book Fair in
Frankfurt in October the Company is in discussions with a leading publisher. A
successful book launch would provide an excellent platform on which to base our
licensing and merchandising campaign.


Entertainment Properties - To be developed for Television

Pepper's Patrol - a new pre-school police and rescue series from Rob Lee the
creator of Fireman Sam. The series is being developed in a joint venture with
Galleon Group plc for TV production in stop-frame model animation. Subject to
commission and financing it is hoped that Pepper may become a major licensing
property and revenue generator.

DreamMakers - set in the factory where children's dreams are made and targeted
at 6 to 9 year olds. Its creator, Peter Dodd, has already made a pilot and we
intend to develop the storylines for an international audience.

[topvest] 28/11/2004 16:39

Yes, well spotted. This float alone could add £2m of fees and is the biggest IPO they have dealt with by far. How many more have they got lined-up?

Mountcashel LLP

The Group holds an equity interest of 25 per cent in Mountcashel LLP, a
regulated hedge fund manager. In May of the period under review the Mountcashel
Fund was launched, with initial investors committing $16 million. The
Mountcashel Fund is listed in Dublin and managed by Mountcashel LLP. Prior to
this the Group reduced its exposure to Mountcashel LLP from 50 per cent to 25
per cent allowing management to subscribe for further equity in the LLP so as to
have an appropriate exposure to risk as well as to reward. To date the fund,
which works on a 'momentum' principle, has, in common with all hedge funds, had
a somewhat difficult May and June but losses in each month were limited to under
one per cent. In July the fund recorded a profit of over one per cent. In
relative terms these results out perform the general hedge fund indices for the
period but we are well aware that investors are only interested in absolute,
rather than relative, returns.


The Mountcashel LLP funds are quoted on the Irish Stock Exchange.



NAV c. 100p - anyone know the issue price? Probably a £1 so not going great at the moment, but at least they haven't lost money.

What about a flotation of Mountcashel LLP? M&P Direct still hasn't floated - suspect they may have delayed to get the Dec results audited as the results were not great last year. Both of these could be worth a fair bit for ANC shareholders.

Getting close to Xmas. Any new issues to be completed by the year-end will need to be announced (through 10 day notice) in the next fortnight. It's been a tad quiet the last few weeks at CS, but I suspect that they have a few deals to close-down in this time period.

[topvest] 24/11/2004 18:20

Yes, at last we have life! These are still very good value imo. They have transformed the business over the last couple of years.

[acquisitor] 24/11/2004 17:48

Shares rising VERY nicely thank you. I think the recent director buying and pick-up in transactions will lead to some good news from the company.

Some more fees today -

P Live plc

Placing of 1,375,000 new ordinary shares at 55p per share

The directors of IP Live plc are pleased to announce the placing of 1,375,000 ordinary
shares at a
price of 55p per share with an institutional investor. Application has been made
to the London
Stock Exchange for admission of the new ordinary shares to trading on AIM with
admission expected
to occur on 25 November 2004. The placing will raise £756,250 for the company
and the proceeds
will be used to assist the company in achieving its plans to expand its activities
in the live
entertainment market.

Chief Executive Jemma George said:
"We are delighted to have raised additional funds which enable us to pursue
further live
entertainment opportunities. The board continues to identify potential investments
and the funds
raised at this placing put us in a stronger financial position."

nicely up again

[topvest] 04/11/2004 21:19

I agree. The buys were quite significant. This is the cheapest broker/NOMAD on AIM. The market has overlooked this one totally. I bought mine at well below the current price, but will hold on for the ride.

[bcf200] 04/11/2004 17:22

Think these could fly tommorrow on Chairman and other directors purchases. I still think well undervalued and stick by my previous valuation of at least 20p IMHO.

[optimist at large] 04/11/2004 13:56

A bit of movement following Gavin Casey's 200K purchase - up 12%

[topvest] 03/11/2004 21:26

Yes, good news. £25k is a reasonable investment. Been a bit quiet of late, but expect CS are busy and there will be a raft of deals completed pre-year end.
