Poor old Humph, die the death with entertainment rights..
In 2005 he wrote
I own 300,000 ERT shares and am currently 28.46% up. My total portfolio which is now quite large is up 31.22% since Jan 1 2005 (8 and a half months)against most UK market indices of just over 11%. I don't spreadbet, I don't short. Why should I when I make more money by the traditional route of going long? It's called investment and it's made me very well off.

Well you prat, you really chose a humdinger of a share didnt you!
too bad matey, better luck elsewhere!
PS you'll be on the streets now, begging for wine from passers by. Too bad, you bumptious pratt.

now that genius have sorted out there money problems will ERT get the money they are owed?



NEW YORK - (Business Wire) GNPR Investments, an affiliate of Quadrant Management and Nemazee Capital, announced its role in the acquisition of a 60% ownership interest in Genius Products from affiliates of The Weinstein Company (TWC). Nemazee Capital (www.nemazee.com), an investment company controlled by veteran financier Hassan Nemazee, invests in a wide variety of industry sectors. The acquisition is part of a restructuring of Genius Products, a process that Quadrant Management will coordinate. Nemazee Capital frequently works together with Quadrant Management to organize and finance corporate reorganizations and restructuring situations.

Genius Products provides distribution services – including production, licensing and eventual distribution – for a significant library of motion pictures and entertainment programming, covering brands from Discovery Kids and Animal Planet to ESPN, Dimension Films, and WWE. Genius also retains exclusive rights to all TWC content, including many emerging home entertainment platforms and formats.

"We expect the investment by Nemazee Capital into Genius Products to be a strong growth opportunity," said Hassan Nemazee, Chairman and CEO of Nemazee Capital. "We are confident that Genius Products will move ahead into new and emerging entertainment platforms."

Bob Weinstein, co-chairman of The Weinstein Company, cited Quadrant's "impeccable track record and leadership" as a critical part of the formula that will help Genius Products grow, while allowing TWC to spend more time developing films.

Good point TT ...

Entertainment Rights lender HBOS now controlled by Lloyds Banking Group are without doubt calling the shots and are no doubt seeking a reasonable price for ER's business and assets in order to recover their loan. However in a "Closing Down" or "Fire Sale" scenario, who would be sufficiently brave to stump up enough cash for the real asset value of this business and its catalogue of 3,600 hours of content.

Now that Lloyds/HBOS has been saved as announced today by HM Governments Treasuries intervention (in effect the taxpayer that's you and I) why should they accept anything less than the full repayment value of their loans.

Lloyds/HBOS should allow the company to continue to trade in order to maximise value for itself and ultimately the beleaguered shareholders of both organisations, Lloyds Banking Group and Entertainment Rights.
Anything less than this would be scandalous given HM Governments pledge announced today to insure £260bn of Lloyds/HBOS Toxic Assets.

A little more patience from those involved in the deal making, ie, the current board of Entertainment Rights and its lender Lloyds/HBOS, could ultimately prove to be of valuable benefit to the shareholders of Lloyds/HBOS and Entertainment Rights itself.

Being a shareholder of both Lloyds Banking Group and Entertainment Rights my vote would be in favour of allowing more time to provide a positive outcome for both organisations.

I intend to bring this scenario to the attention of the Chairman of both companies other shareholders may like to follow suit.

if there is a bid it is either very low (below current share price price) or it is not expected to go through.

maybe this new PR company that ERT have brought in will help

Chloe Markowicz 19-Nov-08
Entertainment Rights, the global media group, has hired M: Communications as its retained financial PR agency.



Nick Phillips joined as the new chief executive of Entertainment Rights in March, which led to a review of the comms side of the business. B

Bell Pottinger was previously the media group's agency for four and a half years, before M won the account in a four-way pitch.

Entertainment Rights specialises in children's and family entertainment programming, including brands such as Postman Pat, Casper the Friendly Ghost, and Basil Brush.

M will report to Simon Avis, head of PR at Entertainment Rights. The account team will be overseen by M's co-founder Nick Miles and will include Charlotte Kirkham (formerly of Bell Pottinger) and Ben Simons.

From Interactive Investor:

Renegotiated Contracts shuu 1

I know its dangerous to assume, but I assume there must be some longer term upside to these renegotiated contracts. We know from the announcement that ERT will retain valuable IP, but to make that call when your company is loaded with debt and you're about to breach your banking covenants; surely must have been done with future earnings in mind. The £1m loan was around that time too. I would find it very hard to believe that any CEO would make such moves unless 1) they were forced too, or 2) they stand to benefit from it. In Scenario 2 the benefits would still have to pretty special to do it in that climate.

If HBOS show support (which they appear to us on the outside) that they are, then it has half a chance. The interest rate cuts may contribute to Xmas trading provided they get passed on to consumers that is. This Xmas is really a make or break trading period for ERT. If they make it past Xmas, then thay have a real chance.

I agree with other posters that ERT has never really bagged a big winner ( A bob the builder) Lots of smaller IP, which does occasionally appeal in other continents. If some have to go, which ones? and what will they rasie is the key? Maybe the Lone Ranger franchise is the long awaited special one, but it will still require the movie to be a big hit.

I think the hedge funds (Och-Ziff etc) that showed interest some time ago probably have their hands full these days but I'm still not ruling out a private equity vulture. We have seen SEY & SRB attract bid interest in the last week, after collapses in their share price. Who knows, With ERT its balancing a fair set of assets against a dire balance sheet.

As I've said, its a punt, high risk - high reward. At these prices though you can tuck away a few shares for not much dough. Its then over to the Lone Ranger to make or break your investment!!!! All IMHO & DYOR, shuu

Interesting points, retaining the IP for some of their properties may mean a higher selling price as the trading statement during the interims mentioned - who knows!

Questor says Buy

As Postman Pat lands on the screens of 200m Chinese children, investors are hoping that together with Jess the black and white cat, he will help deliver a turnaround in the media group's fortunes.

The £65m company has been on a difficult path this past year due to a problem with distribution before Christmas and fears that consumers are cutting back on buying DVDs and merchandise.

Last January's £107m acquisition of US group Classic Media - which owns Lassie, Casper The Friendly Ghost, and the Lone Ranger - also looks poorly timed, not just because of the slowdown in the US but also because of the deal's £15m debt element.

Last week, sentiment towards Entertainment Rights improved marginally after the group unveiled a deal to show "Uncle Postman" - as the Chinese call him - on the country's national television network. The network acquired 106 episodes of existing Postman Pat content and Entertainment Rights has secured a DVD distributor and advertising agency to help push the sale of books, cuddly toys and other consumer products in 2009.

Charles Stanley, which has a buy rating and 20p price target on the company, noted that merchandising "can be highly lucrative". It hinted such deals "pave the way for potential future upgrades".

Questor agrees the share price fall is starting to look overdone. Besides Postman Pat, Entertainment Rights owns key brands including Rupert Bear and Basil Brush. It is likely to sell the rights to some of its characters and while this won't lead to a dividend, it would help reduce the group's £108m debt.

The acquisition of Classic Media should in the long term create cross-selling opportunities around the world. For the bold, buy.

Hotips - I agree re the significant upside and think we will see share price improvement post the agm, with recovery running through the autumn and Xmas.

I looked at the special resolutions to be passed at the agm. They are asking for authority for ERT to purchase its own shares (up to a maximum of 72,253,715 ie 10% of share total)at a minimum price of 5p and a maximum price of 5% above the 5 day average before the purchase. Implies to me that they think the company can make money trading in their own shares from this ludicriously oversold share price and that they have high confidence for the future newsflow and share price

While I was really unimpressed with the recent RNS's, I do believe the company should be worth a great deal more, and that the share price will recover with the correct leadership.
The Classic Media purchase was certainly at too high a price and badly timed, what with the Libor rate, credit crunch and general belt tightening.
But, I believe they have a solid business generating reasonable income, which just needs leveraging correctly.
They have the potential to convert film options into actual major US film contracts, any one of which would really boost the share price
The main investors of Hemmings and SVG have consistently put a lot of money in, buying shares, which demonstrates to me that they have faith in the future, and clearly stated that takeover offers below 20p were not viable. They are smart enough not to turn away an offer if they want out.
Nick Phillips review of the business hopefully will be complete by the AGM and he should put shareholders in the picture in order to gain PI and city confidence. If so, then I believe we will see a recovery start over the next months and a healthier share price up to xmas and beyond.
Should be a recovery play.
Well thats my take and approach on the situation.
Good luck
