IMHO, what a waste of management time and company money. new business cards, listings pages, notepaper, company logo stuff, advertising etc etc.

Perhaps the biggest benefit to management is that all the new charts, threads, share price indicators for CMCP wont show the old CFL shambles....

I also notice that ETO have proposed a placing for 8m shares at 145p...explains the recent, clearly manipulated pull-back in the share price. The cash to be used for 'a range of small, earnings enhancing acquisition opportunities'...could CFL, sorry CMCP, be on that list ?

keep it up Cardi...you're the only one doing it, the CFL site is virtually blank, maybe they are just saving money on the PR position.

Cardif...thanks again for your updates...only problem I see with Phase4 is that CFL get nothing for it, I dont think they even list it as an asset.
Now if the business continues doing well and sometime down the line they sell their holding it may go a long way in reducing debt which in turn will make CFL more profitable. Ridgt now although not setting the world on fire the business is ticking along ok, only thing is the debt repayments are knocking the stuffing out of any profits. That said if they did make more profits they would probably only go and pay themselves even higher salaries and bonuses!

cardiff..yeah there was a bit of activity yesterday, and the volume was higher than usual. Imust admit to knocking off 15% of the value of the company the other day when the wife closed a nominee account one of the holdings was about £200 worth of CFL!
The sock has been very illiquid and litlle volume can make a huge movement either way, lets hope that the tides turning, good to see it didn't get back down to 1p before the this latest activity.
I was reading Intandem's results the other day, shows what is possible in this "difficult " market theat CFL keep banging on about. They have managed to pay off their debt, now if we could do that we would be looking at quite a profitable business, the interest payments here are not eating away at the business.
all for now, thanks for your news updates, happy xmas/new year and all that.

I think I've got my optimism hat on again.

What also has me curious is the appointment of Franz prinz von Auersperg .

There's this connection between Syntek, EM.TV and Contentfilm.

He is currently a director and was previously VC of the supervisory board of Syntek Capital (according to the RNS) and Syntek as we know is the largest shareholder in CFL where von Auersperg was once also a director.

He was also COO of EM.TV which became EM Sport Medien AG.
EM Sport Medien AG changed it's name to Constantin Medien AG.

Constantin Medien AG (listed in Germany) has a 47.3 % interest in Highlight Communications AG (listed in Germany) which in turn now owns 100% of Constantin Film.







Maybe it's all just coincidence but I'm wondering if perhaps there's more to this than meets the eye. Could Constantin be interested in taking over CFL for the film and TV catalogues ? At our current market cap, it would be a coup for them or am I clutching at straws ? Why bring back von Auersperg into CFL after 6 years ?

I guess the next weeks will reveal all or nothing.


IMHO, DYOR. Make your own minds up !

barnetpeter...I don't think you can tar CFL and WKS with the same brush.

If anything, CFL's library is growing and hardly vanishing. The company has a number of partnerships with programming in development, it has it's 20+ % no cost interest in Phase4 and going by previous statements by CFL's management, they're happy with the progress Phase4 is making.

The company is still trading and trading profitably, albeit only just. They have positive cashflow and are reducing debt.

So I think you're comment is just sour grapes. Nevertheless, I empathise with your loss of investment. I too have been there.

Although not CFL specific, I felt the following article was quite interesting.

As you all might recall CFL stated that they were looking to the UK for acquisitions. The excerpt below is taken from the 'Divisional Review' statement for the TV division (FY10 results RNS 21/7/10).

"... For that reason we have stepped up our pursuit of major drama from the UK and other English-speaking territories..."


Although they were probably talking TV specific, I'm sure they're keeping an open mind re the film division also. After all, since that statement, they've 'announced' the 3 South-west (Bristol) based films that are in pre-production as well as the acquisition of 'Whites' and the 'Thorne' dramas.

With Warner Bros. setting up a base in the UK, maybe there'll be better quality films to be had that CFI can sell outside the UK, if not in the UK and thus creating a greater link with the big boys...a step up, I would think.

The other interesting line in the article other than the headline I felt, was that a record amount (#936m) had been invested in the UK film industry in the first 9 mths of 2010 and that Elstree Studios 'has been forced to turn away business'. An improving environment...at least in the UK...it would seem.


All pure speculation on my part but as always IMHO.

Maybe surprisingly, there was a fairly active q+a session. I was feeling very mellow after having had a number of beers in the Worlds End in Finsbury watching 2 CL games back to back the night before, followed by a bottle of wine and a pizza.

The first question came from shareholder1 (s1), who when they were proposing re-election of chairman asked if he would be missed if he wasnt re-appointed (!). Not the kind of question i have heard too many times. S1 seemed to run out of steam on his follow up, so i thought i would help out by asking how many days a year he spent on CFL business. (I didnt have a copy of the report in front of me, and had no idea how much he earned or even what his name was). The reply was curious in that apparently he is constantly consulted, but they couldnt even estimate how many days he worked for CFL. I am not sure why S1 was querying his re-appointment.

rest of proposals were nodded through without questions.

Then we moved onto general questions. This may take a few replies.

New Venture
-----------

I asked about the level of resources being allocated from CFL towards it - looking at it over the year as we can expect no/little revenue in year 1. The reply said that it was a modest investment. On pressing, they said that no CFL staff would be working for the new venture. When asked whether modest meant 100k or 250k, they refused to give numbers, but the body language and replies suggested 250k would be nearer the mark. I asked whether Peter cowley would be full time, or was he working elsewhere as well, and was assured he would be working full time. The CFL stake in the new venture is 60%.

They were enthusiastic about the deal and talked about it quite a bit. In questions after the meeting i asked where he would be based, and they indicated whilst being in the UK to start with, he would probably move to the states (LA i think) as that is where the business is.


Profits
-------

The trading statement said in line with management expectations(me). When i pushed on what 'me' meant, they said they were more concerned about liquidity in the company. I pushed on whether 'me' indicated a similar performance to last year, or slightly better, or slightly worse, and they settled for a similar performance to last year. They did seem to be very aware of the problems they had been through, and seem to be in 'safe mode' for running the company esp. wrt cash. Maybe a change as IMHO they now seem to go in for modest expectations with (i guess) hopeful outperform.

After, i said i was concerned that the new venture didnt turn into another Allumination, and there were wry smiles and 'that isnt going to happen again' noises coming out.


Questions about banking covenants, directors buying, why is the share price so low given my valuation estimates of 8p per share (see post 9640), why so many people go to mipcom, the state of the industry etc and more coming up !
