Offer of 16p/share announced on July 1st



Well done for those who held on.

I am interested as ISD represents a fairly big chunk of the King Arm Yard (KAY) portfolio and I own quite a few shares in them.

"Masurenguy - 8 Mar'07 - 1197 of 1376: I'm out. Sold 50% yesterday and the balance today and took an overall 5% loss and have already reinvested 50% of the proceeds elsewhere. In my opinion the year end results do not harmonize with the expectations emanating from their last trading update and I now have some credibility issues with information provided by management. Also not at all happy with the way that the results were presented, the second half decline in EBITDA and the eps reduction contained in the latest CS forecast for the current year. It is a big issue with me when I perceive that the results do not reflect what I was expecting from the most recent trading update and especially when no comment or explanation is forthcoming to either explain or clarify this. Like Shanklin, my impression is that investor relations are not a priority."

Really glad that I sold out here last March at circa 16p. Company has gone nowhere since then and the share price is 25% lower.

nice after the bell RNS.... one of the existing investors (Steven Tucker) has added 400,000 shares to take his total shareholding in Imagesound to
1,475,000 shares (2.33 per cent).

yes, they undershot, but there was still good growth, and it's still on a current year single digit pe, so very attractive to new investors, who may not be aware of them undershooting (or even care).

Well, I think people have jumped ship too early. Forward pe is still very low, and whilst disgruntled investors are petering out, price has held up pretty well considering. New investors, not familiar with old forecasts will see this with fresh eyes, and see a company on a single digit rating, acquistion hungry, reduced debt, and see it as an attractive offer. i reckon these will bounce within a month to new highs like they did after the post-interims-price-dip (as long as the general market recovery continues). imo.

Good luck to you also mikey_b.

Good luck to all other holders - still like the technology but there are other instore service providers.

FWLIW, I'm now out of ISD. Like Masureguy, I feel any connection between the trading statement and yesterday's results were purely coincidental and, IMHO, management have no interest in keeping investors up-to-speed on how their business is progressing.

Still up 50%+ on my original purchase price, but have no interest in holding this share whilst management are so dismissive of shareholders.

Good luck to all holders, and if they do deliver a genuine 1.8p of earnings this year, they are probably somewhat under-priced.

Cheers, Martin

P.S. Wish I'd been a little faster off the mark yesterday in terms of selling; got out at an average price of 16.19p

If you accept that adjusted earnings is key information that investors look for, then clearly there's a need to make it prominent.

As for ISD's accounts, it's clear they could make it a lot easier for investors.

Which underlying eps number are you referring to?

From todays issue of The Independent

Imagesound strikes a positive note
By Michael Jivkov
Published: 05 March 2007

Re-recorded instrumental versions of Beatles songs in hotel elevators. The latest dance floor hits in fashion emporia. Ever wondered who supplies pubs, restaurants, shops and hotels with background music?

Imagesound is one such company. In fact, it is one of the UK's leading operators in the field. On Wednesday, the Alternative Investment Market-listed group will post annual results showing that its recent troubles are behind it and that a recovery has taken hold across the business.

Derek Mapp, the serial entrepreneur who took over as executive chairman two years ago, has pushed through the turnaround. With the refinancing of Imagesound complete, new banking facilities in place, and recent acquisitions performing well, investors can expect to find the company firmly into the black. For the year to 31 December 2006, Collins Stewart, the firm's stockbroker, expects earnings of £1.6m on sales of £7.1m.

Alongside background music, Imagesound provides radio and TV services to the retail and leisure sectors. At the last count it had over 45 major clients, including Pizza Express, Carphone Warehouse, Nando's and HBOS, with its services present in nearly 13,000 outlets up and down the country. Wednesday's results are likely to show an improvement on these figures.

Recent acquisitions have taken Imagesound abroad and into the higher-margin business of supplying background music to four-and five-star hotels. With the group's finances now on a sound footing, further deals could be on the cards in the year ahead.

When the 2007 thread is created there will be a review of the 2006 Doubler thread first and a kink to the new thread.

Here's the old one to watch:



There were a lot of good calls on there last year.


PE's tend to re-rate on a number of factors such as how well the company has delivered, what are it futur eprospects, how reliable are the earnings, what is the growth rate like and how low is the current PE compared to the similar co's imo.

ISD currently trades on a fwd PE of 7.3 on current forecasts. By January 2.4p eps will be the forecast for the current year and investors start to look fwd a bit further. By the results in March investors will start to look at the growth going fwd, the PE etc and probably start to see the stock looks even cheaper going fwd.

All these things gradually affect the price as more information, more awareness and more confidence in the stock develop - hopefully - and so greater demand for the stock increases the rating.

Of course if a fund or two get very interested (The Command Fund has been buying these up heavily) or there's a broker upgrade or positive trading statement that all affects the rating too.

So a gradual process on various factors I think - that's the short answer :-)
