and 16p is actually quite a reasonable price imo

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.

gk - Yes you can profit - but in essence the likely way is down to recovering money from dividends and/or ultimately a flotation or buy-out.

As I've only a small stake, I'm personally hanging in fwiw.

[gkgdownie] 20/5/2008 13:25

Still looking for an answer to my question above. Anybody?

[gkgdownie] 02/5/2008 10:25

Back to my original question: "However, if it's so bad to delist, why has Mr Pratt bought more? Can I still profit from a delisted company if I retain the shares?"
Can anyone shed light on this?
If imagine there will be MORE money spent on ISD product now that retail is struggling, so why be concerned about the share price at this stage?

A share price has to be a reflection of the company or its markets in some way....the directors should just direct and manage and the share price will take care of itself over time. The cost of being listed was never a problem when they listed ??

[gkgdownie] 30/4/2008 15:00

Not so practical for me to attend the AGM and unsure how wise any answers might be at such an event. If the company are doing so well in difficult markets why do they feel the need to delist? They're complaining about the low share price, but that could all change anytime - seems odd to me.

[davidosh] 30/4/2008 11:30

Why not attend the AGM and find out from the horses mouth what is going on ??

[gkgdownie] 29/4/2008 14:13

I've not sold my shares but am wondering whether I should. I've already had one of my investments delist and not too keen on another going the same way. However, if it's so bad to delist, why has Mr Pratt bought more? Can I still profit from a delisted company if I retain the shares? I'm already well down on my investment but it would be good to have some hope.

Oh dear - looks as though it may have nearly reached the end of the road for external small shareholders. Doubt there will be much liquidity after they delist!

Imagesound to seek cancellation of AIM listing

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Imagesound Plc. said it is seeking to cancel
its listing on AIM, adding that trading remains in line with expectations and it continues to explore opportunities to further expand the business, particularly in Europe and the Middle East. The supplier of in-store music, radio and TV service expects to make annual savings of more than 150,000 pounds as a result of the de-listing. The company said raising equity finance for acquisitions has not been feasible due to the weakened valuation of its shares, adding that its share price has been erratic, not reflecting the company's performance or prospects.

Another cr ramp going down the pan.

plenty of cash in the bank....possible takeover target as consolidation occurs in the industry??

[wiganer] 07/3/2008 08:38

Horrific balance sheet.

[masurenguy] 07/3/2008 01:19

Marginal increase in revenue and loss per share of 1.25p v profit per share of 0.25p last year. Share price has virtually halved from 18p this time last year. Little interest here now and I'm pleased that I sold out a year ago.

[masurenguy] 16/1/2008 17:42

"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.

[jimiuk] 17/12/2007 19:35

got to love the trolls. This probably equates to around 15K additional turnover over 12 months, and low margins once service costs are taken into account. This statement also appears to say the MD has been demoted to Sales Director, which certainly doesn't fill me with confidence. Hardly anything to get excited about.

plus positive trading update announced after market close yesterday.....

Imagesound makes good progress, confident on 2008; wins new orders




LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Imagesound PLC said it continues to make good
progress since its interim results in September and that it is confident for
2008 and beyond.
The in-store music, radio and TV services supplier said it has won a new
contract with Swarovski to launch an audio service at 45 of the crystal products
retailer's stores in the UK. Financial details were not disclosed.
The company also said it recently completed work on a new JJB Sports concept
store and has been asked to install a video service at another store, with
potential expansion in 2008.
Imagesound said it expects EBITDA for the year ending Dec 31 to be in line
with its expectations despite the loss of two UK leisure contracts in the fourth
quarter and delays to the Marriott and Rezidor hotel contracts.
It added managing director Michael Clark becomes managing director of UK and
worldwide sales, while finance director Ken Pratt has been named managing
director of operations and finance with immediate effect.

Extract from recent rns (oct 07):

...The company also said it has continued to make strong progress across the
business, since its announcement of interim results on Sept 10 2007.
The integration of the TSC business, acquired in July, has made good
progress and the identified significant cost savings of this acquisition are
already being secured, Imagesound added.


IMO, these look currently way undervalued....should be +20p imo,dyor:-)

[cyclingnut] 15/10/2007 10:06

pre,

seems noone gives a monkies, rns seemed really positive wonder why it is not attracting any attention?

[pre] 15/10/2007 09:14

I like this bit of the RNS which confirms that the existing ISD business is doing very well:

Imagesound plc (AIM: ISD.L), the UK's leading listed supplier of in-store music,
radio and TV services to the branded retail and leisure sectors, has continued
to make strong progress across the business, since its announcement of interim
results on 10 September 2007.....

[pre] 15/10/2007 09:14

looks like this has been missed...buying opportunity off the back of this news imo...should be +20p:
