Takeover price = £43.4m (270p)

Initial payment = £31.3m (195p)

Possible extra payment = £0.8m (5p)

Possible extra payment within three years = £3.2m (20p)

Missing money on 'expenses' = £8m (50p)

I guess we will never know where exactly who that missing £8m went to. Considering the cash in the bank was £14m, meaning the enterprise value was less than £30, I wonder how they managed to justify paying £8m in expenses to see the deal through.

£8m expenses on a £30m deal??? I wonder how much of those 'expenses' went to directors, lol!

Well, the takeover price is low, but the directors have their dream jobs with IGT. I wonder what sort of pay-off they get?

"Upon Completion, Seamus McGill and Mark Nanovich will both resign as directors of the
Company. Mr McGill will become an employee of IGT
and Mr Nanovich will act as a consultant to Cyberview Technology Limited, which will then be a
subsidiary of IGT, for a certain period in
order to assist with integration and succession matters. Jean-Marie Gatto and Sylvie Linard
will resign as employees of Cyberview Technology
Limited, but will continue to act as directors of the Company, as will Sir Michael Wilkes and
Larry Woolf, until such time as the First
Distribution is made."

Ladbrokes interim statement in advance of today's AGM shows the continued strength of the gaming machines.

Considering that the roll out of new machines was only recently completed in Ladbrokes plus the new longer opening hours was only introduced in September, as were Cyberview's improved terms on the Ladbrokes contract, I expect the UK division to be making £6m+ this year. The effect of all of these factors combined takes the extra revenue straight through to the bottom line.

"Machine gross win increased by 26% benefiting from the completion of the roll-out of new dual screen machines at the end of March 2007, new gaming content and extended evening opening hours. Average weekly gross win per Gaming Machine was £673 compared to £538 for the same period in 2007."

The potential offer by IGT, at 220p per share gives and enterprise value to Cyberview of £24m once you strip out the cash. That puts them on a PE of 4x and values the IP and the US gaming licences they are due at basically nothing. Edison were predicting £9m pre-tax profit last time I looked and although that may have been cut slightly, it makes that £6m estimate look very conservative.

Results were due out in March, as was the Nevada gaming licence meeting. Cyberview will have some explaining to do before the end of June, when results must be announced.

To put the valuation into perspective, with the UK business making £3.3m last year. and Cyberview have re-negotiated their contracts with Ladbrokes to improve the margins quite considerably, they will make much more this year. The new machines have been a big hit and they are winning new contracts to place machines in the IBA shops too. They could easily make £6m this year and £8m the year after, just on the UK business. That alone should value the company at £100m, even without the rest of the world and in particular, the US business.

Once they start getting machines into US casinos, we could expect a big take-up as the directors own casinos. So, we could be looking at £15m+ profit pa for Cyberview in three years time and have them valued at £150m+

The offer should be at least £5 per share and even that would still undervalue the company

The delay of any type of follow-up announcement is getting ridiculous.

The worst thing is that Cyberview would now have had the Nevada gaming licence in the bag for over a month by now had the offer not been made by IGT. They could now be placing machines inside Vegas casinos.

I suspect it is taking a long time for the directors to negotiate their contracts with IGT after the sale. The sale price undervalues the company by a long long way, so I can only conclude that the whole deal is being set up for the directors to benefit via IGT packages, not shareholders through share price value.

The strange thing is, I thought it was Williams Gaming (WMS) that were interested in acquiring Cyberview's technology, not IGT

Maybe they will put an offer too, creating a bidding war. Can but hope...

There was a slightly odd directors incentive agreement in December that looks to be specifically engineered to give cash payments, rather than shares to directors and others holding warrants, which is interesting. Looking back, that directors agreement was a strong hint that a takeover was expected

With an exchange rate of £2 to the pound the current deal is around £35m, valuing CYBV shares at £2.30 per share

Blimey, must be some value in the technology for IGT to be looking to acquire!

630,000 shares traded and the price ticked up

Wonder who is accumulating a stake, and why?

Blimey, just looked at CRES - you're not cheering me up about my investment in CYBV, Wiganer!

He's obviously an expert when it comes to land-based casinos, but not water-based...

Give up researching? Why? They still have products that could make them into a company worth hundreds of millions, so they are definitely worth following, even if just as an object-lesson.

I agree, though. Very risky indeed. The most worrying aspect for holders at the moment is that the management do not appear able to make sales. The profit warning indicates that there are no new contracts imminent too. However, the warning was expected and nothing new was mentioned that could not be gathered from the AGM.

For those looking at the possibility of buying in at some stage, though, the interesting time may be after the big product launch, which is due at the G2E in November. I suspect the sales drive will start in earnest in the New Year. That's when the story begins to unfold and we begin to find out whether this will be a big company or whether it just gets swallowed up for its IP.

In many ways CYBV reminds me of VDS - great potential in the technology, but products not quite ready and management unable to make sales. I followed VDS for a long time on the way down and then bought when my research began to show that they had finally got the products, the managementand sales teams coming together. The share price has risen ever since. Maybe that sort of opportunity will appear here too?

Can't lose anything by continuing the research.
