Rhythmone Share Discussion Threads

Sikh, I think polythene asks you a fair question considering the amount of time you spend posting on the subject. Care to give him a straight answer. Otherwise all of the 1GW's observations about you appear to make sense. polythene - 12 Jan 2017 - 12:49 - 4055 of 4064 - 0FFS. The thread is just being used for personal vendettas. I don't think it is surprising since the company changed its name and its approach that a number of subsidiaries with the name Blinkx in them have been shut down. Do you agree STT?

[sikhthetech] 12/1/2017 13:13

football, why do you tell others to ignore me but won't do it yourself...hypocrite....

[sikhthetech] 12/1/2017 13:11

alex,

"and as more positive updates where released in 2016 he rarely acknowledged them."

How long you owned 1R.. I've said they need to back up their comments with real figures... I've seen 1R/blinkx rns where they say they are doing well but a few weeks later they announce the complete opposite..

The proof is in the figures...

One example..

fy2014..still very confident... WELL POSITIONED...
"Through our multi-faceted business model, strategic acquisitions, patented technology, expert leadership and talented employee base, we feel we are well positioned to adapt to any shifts in the industry and convert them into opportunities for further success. "
"We're fortunate to have a capable, energized team and resources to seize new and emerging opportunities - both organic and via acquisitions."




However, JUST 5 weeks later, we got...those industry wide issues...that they were well positioned to adapt to...


"The shortfall was exaggerated toward the end of the quarter. We attribute this performance to industry-wide issues of efficiency and effectiveness"...

sikhthetech can you find any other post on your thread before the 12 December 2016 apart from this one which was posted by mistake and edited

sorry wrong thead




You were warned to remove post from this thread or the battle would begin and once again you're quoting the FCA about stuff which as nothing to do with them but surely if you are concerns about 1R's subsidiaries and maybe their dodgy dealings you should be reporting them to the FCA as I have no problem with them do you have problems with the subsidiaries and if so what are they.....



Sorry stupid asking you questions as you like a five-year-old who never answers and goes running to mum/advfn when is bully boy tactics don't work anymore

[alex1621] 12/1/2017 13:03

I prefer a board that focuses on the positives and negatives, a balanced debate, if you like ... even if I am bullish it is not a bad thing to look at the negative viewpoint, as it forces you to justify your position. The issue with STT for me is that he purports to own shares but is overwhelmingly focused on the negatives ... and as more positive updates where released in 2016 he rarely acknowledged them. In fact, he appeared more negative. Contrast those posts to TLY, where he is overwhelmingly positive, despite the results being no better than R1 ... both are loss making concerns. The posts suggest short R1 and long TLY? But he is long both?Nothing wrong with having a long or short position in either company, but the posts pertaining to R1 are puzzling ... I would have expected some negative posts together with others that acknowledge some positive progress.For the record, I'm not quite as positive as I was as I am not overly keen on the merger.

[sikhthetech] 12/1/2017 12:54

football,

contact the FCA...

they are the authority to deal with this...

[football] 12/1/2017 12:53

sikhthetech you don't get it as there was one nutter in town and you messed it up for everyone now there's two of us so why not have a thread where both of us don't post nothing stops you reading that thread and commenting on your own but gives everyone else a break from you and me


I have nothing to hide I pin my colours to the flagpole until everyone I'm a ramp what have you got to hide or what is your hidden agenda that needs to be posted on every thread here?

And like I said earlier you wouldn't answer a yes or no questions put to you just come back with totally irrelevant posts or questions of your own spamming up the message boards again

[polythene] 12/1/2017 12:49

FFS. The thread is just being used for personal vendettas. I don't think it is surprising since the company changed its name and its approach that a number of subsidiaries with the name Blinkx in them have been shut down. Do you agree STT?

[football] 12/1/2017 12:47

STT in all the years of complaining about leadimpact, pinball or verti have you ever contacted the company by email or phone regarding your concerns about these subsidiaries and if so what was there response?

If you did not get any response about your concerns from blinkx/1R and have not been satisfied with any of the responses you have heard from posters here coming up to a decade now why would you invest in the company that did not respond to an enquiry and that you thought was up to no good by massaging its figures with dodgy subsidiaries to hold up a failing business model.....





You come across as a little boy who cried Wolf one too many times you keep going around putting your stick into bee's nests and when you get stung you start crying like your the victim and being picked upon by everyone else

[football] 12/1/2017 12:40

BARKBOO still no buys for nearly a month and the share price is gone up again why aren't the FCA looking into it it totally goes against any logic and must be market manipulation so STT would say

[barkboo] 12/1/2017 12:37

Yes - I dont think the MM's have been totally honest with us over the last couple of days.........lol

Let me pass on the scaffolders regards to them.

[polythene] 12/1/2017 12:36

Is it not simple enough that R1 have changed the business and that those subsidiaries are no longer needed or have been moved to new entities. What are you saying STT? Out with it. Have those subsidiaries been closed down for some reason other than they are not needed anymore or is there something else to worry about? Please say what you mean. I feel you are insinuating something but won't say it. What is it STT. Speak up!

[sikhthetech] 12/1/2017 12:35

1gw, you don't find it weird how the majority of posts are targeted at me or goad, blatant lies about me and my holdings ..

They don't have any issue with posters who post worse than me, strange that, isn't it...

read threads before I bought into blinkx or before I setup my thread... the same tactics were used to target any posters the gang could not sway or felt threatened their thread...
all BEFORE before I setup my thread so is that weird???

so filter me.... after all Shroder would like readers on lse to do so... that's not weird, is it...

RE: RE RE: re Steady trend, hardwar..Thu 10:24Rusty, try Rob at FTI, he may not know the answer but will come back to you at some point.

My warning to contact the company is in part due to the behavior of one or two individuals on adfn, namely
sikhthetech and bennywin (who acted in the most cowardly manner blaming myself and others for their own lack of research, this is why my serious posts are now cluttered with daft caveats.

Couple of bad eggs and everyone suffers.

amt Quancast hasn't updated today and get back getting pretty close to its Highest point on record to date so maybe we will break into that top 10 again soon.

And all that done with their multilayered filtered system that makes them whiter than white which takes out dodgy views of the ads and countless ad blockers to boot are included

[amt] 12/1/2017 12:27

Quancast up to number 12 The surge upwards continues. Not sure if this translates to revenues but 50% higher than a couple of months ago.

[football] 12/1/2017 12:24

STT in all the years of complaining about leadimpact, pinball or verti have you ever contacted the company by email or phone regarding your concerns about these subsidiaries and if so what was there response?

If you did not get any response about your concerns from blinkx/1R and have not been satisfied with any of the responses you have heard from posters here coming up to a decade now why would you invest in the company that did not respond to an enquiry and that you thought was up to no good by massaging its figures with dodgy subsidiaries to hold up a failing business plan.

Plus for someone that spends or posts I would say about 99% of their time fixated with blinkx/1R surely you would attend and AGM raise your concerns personally with the board as its your hard earned money you've invested if at all


So will be get a response to any of the questions above all it be another obscure couple of spamming post trying to hide questions posed to you

[1gw] 12/1/2017 11:56

I find it positively weird stt how you refuse to let go of your conviction that there is some big conspiracy around R1, apparently involving both co-ordinated action by posters on these boards and some sort of deliberate "dodgy" behaviour by the company. That post from December 2014 reminds me how long even I have been of this opinion.

While I don't agree with posters attacking you personally or chasing you onto other threads I fully understand how investors in R1 would become frustrated and indeed angry at your behaviour and posting style on these threads.

Rational debate is great in my opinion and I am very willing to hear rationally argued counter-views to my own. But, again in my opinion, this is not what you are doing on the whole. You continue to make unsubstantiated allegations/insinuations about other posters' behaviour, entreating others to contact the authorities, and also continue to repeat time and again the same sort of rather tangential/obscure points about R1 and its history, apparently wishing to sow doubts about the company in other posters' minds.

[sikhthetech] 12/1/2017 11:42

1gw, you don't find it strange how majority of the posts target the poster and not discuss 1r or industry news..Even when i post 1r or industry news the gang continue to try and trash my thread...Read the previous threads.. same tactics everytime.. go on...why not stick to company and industry news...Discuss the company and news and not the poster...

STT - a previous post of mine from your blinkx thread on the subject of blinkx UK limited, the remaining UK subsidiary. It was a trading company doing R&D, unlike the other 2 which are being closed down which were holding companies. As you no doubt remember it appeared from the FY15 accounts that just after the close of that year all the existing intangibles were transferred across to a US subsidiary.

So while it would be nice to see accounts filed on time, and I would encourage you if you are bothered about it to contact fti and give them a reminder in case one is necessary, I hardly think anything about blinkx UK limited is going to be material in the context of RhythmOne's overall business is it?

------------------------------------------

1gw 9 Jun '16 - 15:01 - 3402 of 3453 1 0 Edit

And last but not least, blinkx UK limited which is a "trading company" according to the FY16 blinkx plc annual report. So STT's link allows us to see the FY15 accounts for all 3 UK subsidiaries listed on page 67 of the main annual report (FY16).

This one (blinkx uk limited) is where the technology is developed. "The principal activity of the Company comprises developing technology for the blinkx group to facilitate the group's delivery of brand-safe, quality, cross-screen advertising at scale, across a consolidated supply footprint"

The numbers are rather smaller than for the 2 holding companies and the main point of interest I note is the very last statement:

"Post Balance Sheet Event
On 1st April 2015, blinkx UK Limited sold all the intangible property which it has owned and developed historically to RhythmOne, LLC, a fellow subsidiary undertaking of blinkx plc The disposal proceeds were not less than the carrying value"

So that looks to me as though all the technology ownership now sits in the US and the (main?) UK companies are purely holding companies.

If that is correct then I might speculate that that would maybe simplify a number of things, most obviously perhaps:

a sale of the company to (or a merger with) a US company; or
a floating of (substantially all) the company on a US market (blinkx IPOs the appropriate holding company).

Might this latter option also facilitate the acquisition of something chunky were blinkx so minded at some point in the future once it has re-established its reputation as a growth business with a bright future? i.e. blinkx announces an agreement to buy something big funded by current cash plus funds raised in an IPO on a US market...
