Kestrel must be disappointed as they'll come out of this with a loss. I think I was more fortunate than most and I'll only have a 19.8% return on my investment. ANTP has been one huge disappointment for everyone involved.

Not an overly generous price given the companies cash reserves.

It is interesting to see that Mr. Farleigh has made two purchases of 25,000 shares recently. The numbers are not significant but I think we can deduce that he is not privy to any negotiations now being conducted for a significant transaction.
If there were any and if he knew of them, then he would presumably be barred from dealing in ANTP shares. Does anyone on this thread know the rules ?
I would have expected any prospective bidder to sound him out since he holds nearly 15% but perhaps this is not allowed until an offer is put to the directors.

varies: Thank you for posting those calculations to the BB.

BlackRock reported a 4.83% holding on 29/3/12:


There is no requirement for them to file a form 8.3 unless they make any further trades now that ANTP is under offer (although some companies have chosen to unncessarily file form 8.3 anyway).

If I remember correctly, the sale of a company needs agreement of 50%+ of shareholders. Looking back at the chairman's statement:
...Whilst the Company remains an on-going concern, the Board is exploring all options to maximise shareholder value, which may involve continued trading, voluntary liquidation, the sale of the Company or asset sales....

In other words, whilst the company has been put up for sale there are still other possibilities. I note that some of those holders have been with ANTP for a long time and they are going to make a significant loss if it is sold - that might present a problem to an offer price if they lack realism.

I must confess to knowing nothing except what ANTP tells us and I would not like to sit an exam even on that !
The report for the first half of 2012 tells us that 98% of revenue was generated outside the UK, mostly in US$. This $ revenue need not have been generated entirely in the USA but it seems reasonable to infer that much of it was.

ANTP's relationship with Cisco seems to be of great importance to it. Let us hope this is still a happy one.

I have no idea whether we shall be involved in American lawsuits. Woe betide us if we are.

weatherman: Yes, they are looking for a buyer. The recent revenue means that the shares are worth 20p alone on cash in the company. The section on "contingent liabilities" might affect that valuation (the sort of thing that most companies have insurance for) but we now know our ex-CEO was asleep on the job.

Everything else to do with royalties, margins, difficulty with competing customers exactly as I posted above.

I feel sorry for employees, who are shortly going to be out of a job. The exception being those few technical people who will go to the company that buys the software.

In terms of valuation, the return will be cash minus any litigation costs with a possible upside of anything they can get for the software. I expect a bidding war between the companies that have licensed the software - and that is likely to be the reason for the upset with licensees.

P.S. Common sense says that Kestrel have seen this investment as likely to yield a return. They have engineered this outcome and the final price is very likely to exceed their average share price.

I'm slighly embarrassed to confess that I bought a few too, a complete gamble based on Kestrel's interest. With the knowledge that the share price is likely below the cash value, taking the loss into account, puts this in the domain of a value share. However, I'm not buying any more until I see a proper CEO and their accounts.

Potentially ANT has some valuable software if it can develop it as an AP product to get TV on your ipad, ipod, Samsung etc.

A bid would have to take into account net cash, plus something for the business. But it might have some valuable software assets if developed properly.

Being the cynic, new management often issue dire statements to drive the share price down so they can get new shares on the cheap.

Thank you for posting here so often. If others were as interested in ANT as you are, the share price might actually rise !
I have held this share for years & years and add from time to time; my average price paid must be about 30p.
Waiting for the company to show a trading profit is frustrating but we might see one next year. If and when this happens, the shares will be hard to buy and could easily double. Even so, I do wish I had put my money somewhere else.
