Posted at 13/12/2008 22:20 by exotic It's always amazed me how on each set of dismal results VIA still managed to convince a select few large investors to lend more money."... Vianet Limited made a loss of £1,439,000 and had net liabilities of £14,327,000. This included an inter-company debt to Vianet Group plc of £14,653,000, which as at today's date is £nil following a capitalisation of the current inter-company debt" Have I got this right. The enterprise was sold to Brulines without the £14,653,000 debt which, through a stock market trick, was dumped onto the listed VIA plc shell which is now playing the waiting game for automatic delisting. In other words, the debt was offloaded onto shareholders, so no chance of them getting money back, meanwhile Brulines get a developed, debt-free synergetic business with pan European customers, but there's some important reason shareholders are not allowed to know how much the assets were given away for?? VIA directors wouldn't care how much it was sold for anyway since they took on the £14.6m debt. They'd have to have sold it for over £14.6m to get something back from the administrators. What if the directors sold it for £1 and accepted say £10,000 backhanders each, who would know? Who's regulating? The other question is, of course, how did VIA keep going so long. |
Posted at 25/1/2006 15:28 by exotic As the link (thanks for that badday) posted shows, profit margins were reduced and sales were far short of target.There is still time, still a chance of succeeding, but odds are much reduced. It's a shame companies never give the same information to private investors as they give to brokers and high net worth individuals. |
Posted at 30/9/2005 09:28 by tedg41 Interims:No news of Coca-cola deal but perhaps that is to come. Added at 0.1p over recent offer price today. This little share now represents a major holding for me. Good luck to all VIA investors! |
Posted at 05/4/2005 19:44 by surfer2 dissapointing to see the pennant formation unravelling a little todayi thought this one withstood the battering of the last few weeks quite well hopefully its just the last day of the tax year thing heres hoping small investors wont chicken out / get shaken out of this one why buy , hold for a while , watch new funding and interest develop and then capitulate? btw , re. oil price and recent drubbing of small caps , this one shouldnt be affected as much in that the nature of the product allows for remote monitoring and even cutting down on unneccessary transport to / fro various locations of machines due to smarter management of vending machine stocking. |
Posted at 14/3/2005 21:28 by waldiman Another investor here on this, but as there hasn't been much happening with this share - bar it going down - there hasn't been much to post.Investors Chronicle notified me of this share in their magazine last April, re: penny shares to look out for. I liked what I saw with this Company and also with Healthcare Enterprise Group (HCEG) which is now up 150% on my original investment. Hopefully we will see 10/11p on Vianet in the next month or so. I'll post any updates that Investors Chronicle have with their follow up report as and when! |
Posted at 13/9/2004 08:49 by exotic Technology investor ups his stake in Vianet PERRY GOURLEY A LEADING private technology investor has significantly upped his stake in Vianet, the vending machine technology firm. Michael Underwood last week bought two million shares in the £10m Dunfermline company to take his stake to just under 4%, making him the largest individual shareholder. Underwood, who made a significant profit after being an early-stage investor in Wolfson Microelectronics, also holds significant stakes in two other quoted technology firms - Amino Communications and TRL Electronics. Both have seen strong share price gains this year. Underwood, who is based in England, could not be contacted but it is thought his decision to increase his holding in Vianet comes on the back of evidence of an increased number of trials and roll-outs with major clients and the potential of its global marketing partnership and hosting deal with Alcatel. It is thought Underwood, who has been an investor in the company since its launch, has been increasing his stake with several purchases recently, but his latest took him over the 3% level at which it has to be disclosed to the stock market. Ian Orrock, chief executive of Vianet, said he could not comment on Underwood's increased stake but confirmed the company was continuing to make good progress. "We are on track, closing major accounts and booking customer orders with global brands. We are also extremely well supported by our investors - more than 65% of which are institutions or major private investors." The company is due to release a second set of interim results in November, with final figures due in May. Shares in the Aim-quoted company have fallen from a year high of 10.25p to around 6.75p last week. |

Posted at 21/7/2004 09:59 by exotic It's possibly not new news, though it makes interesting reading, and the Athens Olympics part doesn't sound too old.Incidentally, I see Hardman & Co published some research on VIA 21/06/04 but they won't deal with private investors and, instead, recommend getting your broker to ask them for it. |
Posted at 29/5/2004 14:12 by badabing From The Scotsman.....Vianet on track as it cuts losses by 25% ALASTAIR REED VIANET, the Dunfermline-based technology minnow, has further cut its losses and said that it remains steadfastly on course for a profit within two years. The Scottish group, which manufactures technology that allows vending machine operators to monitor stock levels remotely, reported pre-tax losses down from more than £1 million to £748,228 for the six months to the end of March. Sales increased by more than £180,000 to £200,427, but once again no dividend was paid. Executive chairman Ian Orrock said: "Losses are down by 25 per cent on sales that are up tenfold - admittedly the numbers may be fairly small, but for us they are very significant. "I have been greatly encouraged by the performance and am extremely bullish about the future." Selectra, the largest supplier of food and drink machines in Europe, signed up Vianet's technology on a two-year trial at the end of 2003, and has already ordered an extra 500 machines on top of the existing 250. Although another of Vianet's clients - Red Bull - has sold its vending operations to a third party, Orrock said he expected to announce a continuation of the contract "within the month". Shares in the group, which is one of Scotland's smallest listed companies with a stock market value of just £10 million, closed down 6 per cent at 7.75p - which Orrock attributed to investors taking profits. He added that the future was looking extremely encouraging, saying: "We are quickly becoming the industry standard - a lot of our competitors look at our products quite jealously." |
Posted at 17/1/2004 00:01 by fatoomch Front cover of Shares Mag: Bounce back – spot the company rescues that will make you fat profits. It’s amazing what a financial blood transfusion can do for companies which look all but dead and buried. And if the hard-nosed financial institutions can be persuaded that a firm has a future, should private investors find it so hard to overcome their prejudices and follow suit? Shares checks out the possibilities for making money out of recovery plays Vianet finds serious backing Makes some comparisons with Earthport. New management had to re-engineer it’s product and bring in fresh capital. Business at an earlier stage of recovery than Earthport in that contracts not yet rolling in. Currently less than 1000 units in operation, needs 15,000 to break even. Guessing when this will be is a mug’s game. Fans see modest earnings next year and 2p EPS in 2006. A global alliance with Alcatel promises great things. The point is that serious investors were persuaded to put up £3.5M for what, at first glance, was a complete disaster. Also, an update on plays of the week still has VIA as a buy. |
