Posted at 21/2/2013 09:47 by pecker1 Dave,Don't blame you for being cynical - it is at least the fourth attempt!But, to my mind, it's reassuring that Peter M is so open about the geology and not fearful of changing his mind if the facts change. This recumbent folds theory fits the drill results better than its predecessors and opens the door to a much higher quality resource. However, what is not reassuring is the amateurish way in which they issue press releases. The graphic of the new model should be on the front page of the release for all to see immediately, not hidden behind web references that you have to copy and paste before you can view them - how many will bother? Simply bonkers to make potential investors do this! edit. maybe doing them an injustice as the links are there in the Marketwire Canada news release. Got used to seeing good graphics and visuals on ASX news releases like the recent one from Stellar Resources but TSX still back in the stone ages when it comes to visuals.! |
Posted at 05/10/2009 16:17 by briarberry Tin - The mystery investor who is turning the tin market on its headA single investor thought to be a hedge fund is sitting on thousands of tonnes of tin in warehouses across London. According to traders almost the entire stocks of tin on the London Metals Exchange (LME) was bought up by a single, mysterious investor, last week. One fund has warrants for more than 90pc of all physical tin stocks because the market rules dictate that above this threshold, the buyer must lend out the commodity, if asked, at the cash price with no premium. Industrial buyers are furious that they are paying up to $730 per tonne for immediate delivery more than it would cost them to buy three-month futures contracts, arguing this stranglehold on the market should not be allowed to happen. Is it the Tin man ? |
Posted at 09/5/2008 23:11 by toptrump Done deal - 55% acceptance via management, schroders and other major investors from what I can see.Seems to be the trend with media co. RDF following suit. Cannot compete with the likes of All3Media with their private equity investors, devouring litlle indies in their sight. I wonder how long it will be before others join the parade. I like many others feel that this share could have done better, but with climate as it is, and most investors seemingly in for the short term - no stability in price, hence difficulty for acquisitive growth. Keep an eye - as a private traded co. this will see phenomenal growth in next year or so - watch this space!! |
Posted at 11/4/2008 14:10 by igdavies Trends favour TV producer Tinopolis - BUYCompanies: TIN 31/03/2008 Following the relatively recent arrival of digital television, there has been a huge increase in the number of TV channels available to anyone who has satellite, cable or even just a Freeview digital set-top box. Broadcasters such as the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 have added several additional digital channels during the past few years, while a number of smaller broadcasters have launched their own, often highly specialised, channels in order to take advantage of the digital TV phenomenon. While many channels simply broadcast pop videos or repeats of programmes originally aired many years ago, there are a few that require new programmes targeted at the kinds of audiences these new channels are trying to attract (think BBC3 or BBC4). Of course, this means an increase in the trend for outsourcing TV programme production, which is good news for companies like Welsh independent media business Tinopolis. With its headquarters in Llanelli, Tinopolis is actually a group of companies with production centres in Cardiff, Glasgow, Leeds, London and Oxford. It produces a variety of TV programmes, including drama, current affairs, documentaries and sports programming, as well as interactive content for customers in both the public and private sectors. Last year, the AIM-quoted group managed to achieve organic revenue growth of around nine per cent in spite of a fall-off in UK commissioning during the latter part of 2007. Pre-tax profits more than doubled to £2.7 million, while net cash flow generated from operating activities increased to £5.7 million from just £1.8 million the year before, prompting house broker Investec Securities to dub the group 'Cashopolis'. Tinopolis has done well while others in its industry have been struggling and the immediate future for the group looks very bright indeed. The company has strong revenue visibility with a very high percentage of its planned sales already contracted. Moreover, its wide range of customers and lack of dependence on any one contract mean that the business offers prospective investors some defensive qualities. One particular contract it will have been pleased to renew is its arrangement with the BBC to produce Question Time. Last year, Tinopolis beat 14 other independent producers to win a new three-year contract worth £5.5 million to produce the flagship current affairs discussion programme. Elsewhere, Tinopolis continues to produce editions of Channel 4's Dispatches current affairs programme and coverage of sporting fixtures such as the Grand National for the BBC from 2008, as well as various dramas and docudramas for ITV, Channel 4 and others. In terms of forecasts for this year and beyond, Investec expects Tinopolis to deliver a 96 per cent increase in pre-tax profits to £5.3 million in 2008, increasing by a further 32 per cent to £7 million next year. On a 'per share' level, these translate to 3.8p and 5p respectively, which makes the group's current share price look very cheap especially when one considers the £11 million net cash (equivalent to 11.5p per share) that Tinopolis had on its balance sheet at the end of September. Given management's propensity for share buybacks with the group having bought back 4.65 million shares last year (at an average price of 39.9p no less) Tinopolis is an enticing prospect. With the group currently rated, from an enterprise value point of view, at less than four times forecast earnings for this year, we think its shares are well worth buying. |
Posted at 04/4/2008 19:55 by toptrump Not aware of any. Although they were awaiting the outcome of Teacher's TV, but that seems to have gone to Ten Alps although nothing has been said from Tinopolis's camp.I believe that they haven't enough cash at present for an acquisition drive, much like many others in this sector. All the selling of shares is not good for the longer term investor! I remember a few years back Richard Branson delisting one of his co. as he was unhappy with the 'short term investor not giving the co. much stability. I reckon that this co. are in the same predicament at present? |
Posted at 05/2/2008 10:17 by toptrump Been reading the threads - what 'Jump' is on the way?No more big buys recently! Think maybe the drop in share price has halted any chance for decent acquisitions. As I mentioned previously may need to look at a major invester i.e. John De Mol, or follow the merger route, cause at present the co. looks like a takeover target (and was the reason I initially invested) but with more research I personally don't think that at present this would give investors the best return, especially since the year on year results and co. growth seems to have been quite impressive. Don't know much about this sector, but it seems as if the last 12 months has been a poor one in general for media co. Considering a year ago TIN was 42.5p, RDF has been as high as 260p and SHDP around 120-130p. Things can only get better. Some decent comissions would see the share rocket. |
Posted at 01/2/2008 11:07 by igdavies Here's a thought I think Tinopolis should merge with RDF media, and Shed productions to create a Mega-Super indie to compete with the non listed companies - Shine (Elizabeth Murdoch), All3Media (Steve Morrison, David Liddiment, Jules Burns with Premira as private equite investors), Endemol(Jon De Mol), Talckback Thames (part of Freemantle media) and IMG media.This would create a company with a turnover of circa £210m ish and could create graet leverage in the purchasing of other comapnies. Just a thought - any comments? |
Posted at 19/1/2008 21:03 by michaelmouse igdavies - I am not an investor in TIN but if you take a look at RDF, SHDP and DCD which are all AIM listed TV production companies they are all priced at five year lows. Personally I'm invested in DCD and haven't researched TIN, RDF or SHDP. It is clearly an unloved sector at the moment and when you throw in the recent market jitters it appears to have created unbelievable bargains. Over the long term the market will warm to these cash generators and market sentiment will recover. When this happens I fully expect these companies to be trading at SPs many multiples above current levels. Good luck with your investment!! Cheers. Michael. |
Posted at 24/6/2007 20:12 by lbo The Real Business: Tinopolis hopes to turn base metals into TV gold By Richard Rivlin, Sunday Telegraph Last Updated: 2:13am BST 24/06/2007 Expert eye Question Time's David Dimbleby needs no help in managing the competing messages of his panelists. It is a skill that the board of Tinopolis, the company behind the show, should absorb. Tinopolis was the 19th-century name for Llanelli in Wales, when it was a world centre for tin production. The media business was set up in 1990 and evolved into the largest supplier of Welsh-language programming for S4C, the Welsh equivalent of Channel 4, before its reverse takeover of an Aim shell in January 2005, when the shares stood at 43p. At the time it was a simple story that investors liked: a fast-growing regional TV production business coming to market at the very time when broadcasters, not least the BBC, were coming under pressure to commission more outside the M25. But less than two years later the management team, led by Ron Jones and Arwel Rees, the executive chairman and managing director respectively, have used what was a real distinguishing feature to leap into the mainstream. Deals to acquire Television Corporation - owner of Mentorn and producer of Question Time - and Sunset + Vine, plus the recent purchase of Video Arts, have now been completed. The new Tinopolis is a significantly larger business than the one that floated, producing sport, drama, animation and training content as well as the original Welsh-language programming. As befits a growing company, it was poised to move to a new site in Hammersmith on the day we met. The new home should save £700,000 in costs. Sales and profits have already risen as a consequence of the acquisitive strategy. In the year to September 2005 the company made £1m of profits on sales of £10.4m, increasing to £1.3m on sales of £47.3m last year; the forecast from Investec, the broker, is £3m profit on £64m of sales this year. The market has yet to fully absorb the shift in strategy. The fact that the shares are actually lower than the float price at 37.5p, valuing the business at £35.5m, suggests that the market is uncertain about the direction management is taking - or, worse, does not actually buy it. The company has £11.5m in cash, so the underlying business is valued at £24m, suggesting that the market needs to hear Jones update it on his strategy. Jones says: " It is about good television backed by interactive and online content that draws viewers further in." What this means in practice is websites for viewers to get more involved in Tinopolis programming. But if the company is so committed to television programming, why has it bought a training company that happens to deliver its content through videos? Admittedly, paying £2.3m for a business generating sales of £4.9m and profits of £500,000 in the year to December 2006 looks like a good trade but it does seem to cloud the strategy. Jones disagrees. "Our interactive unit was already producing bespoke training content in soft skills. Because we have a heavy commitment to new media, Video Arts is a good fit," he says. He seems to have a good idea of how he will turn the library of content into a more profitable unit. Instead of selling the products piecemeal, as historic owners have done, the intention is to sell licences to corporate clients and give them access to the whole library. This is smart and will appeal to HR directors and training managers. Meanwhile lots of effort is going into turning Mentorn back to profitability. John Willis, a former director of programmes at Channel 4, has been appointed to run the unit and has enjoyed some early successes. Sales of British formats such as Britain's Worst Driver to US networks can only increase this pace. Jones says: "This business lost £2m in the year before our purchase of it. Next year it will be profitable. We are a few months behind where we want it to be but progress is being made." Richard Rivlin is managing director of Bladonmore www.bladonmore.com |
Posted at 25/2/2007 12:09 by igdavies I think we need an update, a message of intent from the tinopolis board. Have had these shares for 12 onths now and they haven't budged much. Thought that after a consolidation period post- TV Corp buy these shares should have rocketed.Looking at the broadcastnow website and c21media, there has been no announcements or rumours for well over a month: no possible further acquisitions no talk of the buy back scheme (although this seems well on the way) no rift of commissions Looking at the other 'Super-indies' they are on the aquisitions trail. All3media in less than 5 years is worth more than £300m. RDF (another listed company) is over £100m. Shed over £50m. Tinopolis after getting a foothold in the London market should be pressing home this advantage - and investors start seeing value for thir shares. |
