Milestone Group Share Discussion Threads

[afrorich] 23/2/2010 19:22

AIM listed provider of digital media solutions and technology, two weeks ago announced that it had been appointed by Music Monk to design and develop a new innovative iPhone Application. Last week, it had another client win and announced that it has been engaged by 4 Club and Country Ltd to redesign their current website and develop a bespoke e-commerce solution for their football shirt retail business. The 4C&C site allows football fans the unique opportunity to pledge their support to both their favourite club and country on the same shirt via a customized trademarked design service. To celebrate the upcoming World Cup, 4C&C have produced a limited edition shirt featuring half an England shirt and half a South Africa shirt which is currently being featured by News of the World as a part of the product launch promotion. 4C&C were recently involved in the sponsorship of Rio Ferdinand's on-line magazine 5.

Deborah White, Chief Executive, made the following comment: "We are delighted to be chosen for this project as we see it as another opportunity to demonstrate the combined skills of our ever growing in-house web development team and the products of our strategic investments last year."

Milestone also announced a small subscription to raise £30,000 last week at a price of 2.75p per share. One thing that is incredibly positive about all of these smaller subscriptions is that they are never done at a down round.

The Company has a clear strategy of actively growing a portfolio of controlling and non-controlling stakes in digital technology, content or service companies. MSG is now firmly focused on generating revenue to help support the business expansion and we believe that this stock is also well worth a look now that the turnaround is complete, that there are three focused business units and that we expect to see perhaps further deals for interesting technology going forwards.

from hybridian small caps

Milestone Group (MSG 2.05p / £1.85m)*
AIM listed provider of digital media solutions and technology last week announced its final results for the year ended 30 September 2009. Milestone's share price has been ticking up little by little lately as Deborah White, the CEO, has continued to turn the business around and produce positive news flow. In the past year, Deborah has reduced the Group's losses by over 50 per cent and balance sheet liabilities by a further 20 per cent. She has closed the loss making Oxford Broadcasting and sold all of the analogue licences. As part of the turnaround, we have announced recently in our Small Cap Wrap the new appointments of Per Bonato – Business Development Director, Dr Marios Gerogiokas - Director of Wireless Services and Cooper Handley - Creative Director and head of the in house web development team. The Company rebranding has been completed and post period end, MSG did two deals to complement its web design division, one with JumpStart Wireless and one with Ve Interactive. JumpStart's innovative technology is a cost-effective solution to transform any mobile device into a reporting tool for employees working remotely from company premises. Under the agreement, Milestone is entitled to a sales commission of 15 per cent of gross revenues. Ve Interactive Ltd is in the space of online shopping cart abandonment solutions, which are specialised, web-based solutions for e-vendors to improve sales conversion from abandoned shopping carts. Again, under the agreement, Milestone is entitled to a sales commission of 15 per cent of gross revenues created by Milestone from Ve Capture. Ms White commented: "This is an exciting time for us as we move towards generating revenues with the three new areas of the business. We look forward to building a positive future for our shareholders." The Company has a clear strategy of actively growing a portfolio of controlling and non-controlling stakes in digital technology, content or service companies. MSG is now firmly focused on generating revenue to help support the business expansion and we believe that this stock is also well worth a look now that the turnaround is almost complete.

I suggest people start looking at this company a bit more seriously. They are turning things around have a look at hteir link ups and restructure of the business. Deborak White has worked wonders. They are now hiring staff which speaks volumes

this from interactive investor

Milestone Group (MSG 1.85p / £1.63m)
Media group Milestone last week announced that it had entered into an agreement with privately owned JumpStart Wireless Corporation, an enterprise wireless software company based in Florida, USA. Milestone has obtained the right to sell patented and patent pending technologies of Jumpstart in the UK. The company also purchased a small stake (less than 3 per cent) in JumpStart for £60,000. JumpStart's technology saves clients significant costs in the field by cutting down on paperwork and seamlessly coordinating wireless devices and business software applications. JumpStart has a strong track record in the US, already working with partners such as Sage, Primavera and SAP. Milestone CEO, Deborah White, said: "JumpStart's product is ideally positioned to thrive in the current economic climate, significantly reducing the time and costs involved in communicating with staff on the move." Milestone also announced that it has appointed wireless expert Dr Marios Gerogiokas to direct the wireless sales and operations for Milestone. Under the terms of the agreement Milestone will receive a significant percentage of the gross revenue from all sales that it makes in the UK. Milestone has an added incentive, in that in addition to the cash reward for the sales it makes, it could also receive an equity award, provided it has reached certain performance metrics. With this deal, it doesn‟t look like Milestone has miles to go until it starts to generate revenues, and at the current valuation, this is an attractive play for those wanting some media exposure. The share price ticked up a little on the news.

savvy companies to partner with. Ve Interactive with its VeCapture
technology offers an unparalleled market solution that will be a huge
synergistic asset to Milestone clients."

Outlook remains positive despite a fragile market place. 'Milestone's strategy is to grow a portfolio of controlling and non-controlling stakes in digital technology, content or service companies and, over time, to develop the portfolio through organic growth, new launches and synergistic acquisitions. The Group's Executive Director, Deborah White, has made good progress in identifying potential opportunities. The Board intends to assess carefully these opportunities with its advisers and will seek to pursue those which it believes offer the realistic prospect of delivering value to hareholders.'

a bit about jumpstart

UMPSTART: bringing your mobile staff and office together

JumpStart has developed ground-breaking mobile solutions to revolutionise the way companies interact with their mobile workforce. These tools not only help businesses stay connected, they minimise the use of paper, streamline processes and save millions of pounds annually in saved man hours.

JumpStart Wireless automates the work of mobile staff: digitally transforming work orders, time cards, daily reports, punch lists, inspections, sales orders, etc. JumpStart's technology then sends these electronic "forms" to mobile staff via mobile phones/PDAs and automatically backs-up the information. Jumpstart then automatically and wirelessly delivered these 'forms' back to your billing and accounting software at your office. This automation has transformed the way in which their customers work.

Time-saving, efficient and cost-effective, Jumpstart Wireless is the only way to get the best from a mobile workforce.
