Vision Media Group (International) plc

("VMG" or "the Group")

Five year contract with Merlin Entertainments Group


Vision Media Group (International) plc (AIM:VMG), the outdoor media contractor,
announces that the Group has completed the signing of a new five year contract
with the world's second largest visitor attraction operator, Merlin
Entertainments Group ("Merlin"), for exclusive outdoor and digital TV media
rights.


The agreement relates to VMG's existing network of screens at visitor
attractions run by Merlin across the UK, including Alton Towers, Chessington
World of Adventures, Madame Tussauds and Thorpe Park. VMG will exclusively
provide full content-rich programming in real time on the screen network on a
revenue share basis.


The deal will leverage the existing prestige of Merlin's locations as an
advertising facility, already used by such brands as Coca Cola, EA Games,
Universal Pictures, Fox Films, Muller Dairy, Island Records and United Biscuits,
among others. VMG has recently invested in upgrading the network to enable
remote access and real time media scheduling and booking. The Group is now in
preliminary discussions with a National Sales Contractor and is also exploring
the possibility of outsourcing local sales to another partner. VMG is also in
discussions with a potential season-long network sponsor.


Mike Cottman, Executive Chairman of VMG, said: "We are delighted to have signed
this contract with Merlin and it is testimony to the renewed strength of our
business that this has been made possible. The theme park industry represents a
highly desirable audience to advertisers with dwell times quite unlike any other
in the outdoor industry, averaging over five hours per visit, with queue-line
TVs often delivering captive audiences for up to two hours at a time."

All gone very quiet here. The placing at 10p does not seem to have spurred buying interest at 8p.

I still have no idea what the earnings potential is of this company.

Sold TrainFX for 50K cash, plus some other non real stuff, I think these guys are in deep trouble. CC deal worth 2.5M but only if they manage to sell some advertising on the screens, have you looked at who is on the VMG screens currently. Hope they can do better as it's an interesting market but not on their business model.

further comment on iii

from daily dooh

As usual, our researchers have been looking in more detail at the recent TrainFX rns and doing a bit more digging around - we rarely spot / think about everything in one go!!

VMG will receive UK PDS 1.45 million in 2008 if NPI themselves raise UK PDS 2 million this year - sounds odd but true.

VMG have done well in this transaction, if TrainFX is successful (which we doubt by the way) then VMG's 25% of that business would be worth something AND if NPI do raise private equity, AIM or PLUS money than VMG gets some cash.

Most importantly VMG gets the Derby office, debt and some capex off of its balance sheet!

Lastly, it is worth saying that we have never, ever liked the TrainFX business or business model. We reckon that it needs UK PDS 10 million to move it on. That's an awful lot of cash but at least now it has an owner / owners who can focus on one piece of business and of course it is a niche.

full statement from website

17 March 2008 Sale of TrainFX assets
Vision Media Group (International) plc (AIM:VMG), the outdoor media contractor, announces that it has signed heads of agreement in respect of the sale of the assets of its UK transport division, TrainFX Limited ("TrainFX") to New Planet Investments Limited ("New Planet") for a total consideration of £1.5 million. Based in London, New Planet is a recently formed company which has been established for the purpose of acquiring the TrainFX assets from VMG. The consideration will be paid in a combination of cash, loan notes and preference shares.

As announced on 28 September 2007, the Group has been in discussions to sell this transport division. This agreement with New Planet has provided VMG with an immediate non-refundable £50,000 initial deposit for specific working capital purposes surrounding TrainFX activity. In addition, New Planet will issue a loan note to VMG on completion for £300,000, less the amount of the initial deposit, totalling £250,000, which will carry interest of 8 per cent. per annum and is repayable on the earlier of 31 December 2008 or the listing of New Planet on either PLUS Markets plc ("PLUS") or the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange plc ("AIM"). Furthermore, New Planet will issue preference shares to VMG on completion for £1.2 million, carrying a cumulative coupon of 5 per cent. and being redeemable for cash on the earlier of a capital raising of no less than £2 million by New Planet either privately or via admission to either PLUS or AIM, or by 1 March 2011. In addition, VMG will also gain a beneficiary interest in New Planet which will be credited as fully paid and will represent 25 per cent. of that company's issued share capital, thus effectively valuing the overall transaction at £2 million.

A further 25 per cent. of the issued share capital of New Planet will be owned by Mike Cottman, Executive Chairman of VMG. Mike Cottman is the only director of VMG with a holding in New Planet and, as Executive Chairman of VMG, the disposal is also a related party transaction under the AIM Rules. The Chief Executive Officer of VMG, who is deemed independent for this transaction, and the Group's independent non-executive Director, having consulted with Seymour Pierce Limited, consider the disposal to be fair and reasonable insofar as shareholders are concerned and in the best interests of the Group and its shareholders as a whole.

In the last reported financial period, for the six months ended 30 June 2007, TrainFX made a net loss of £294,994 on turnover of £10,100. The division had gross assets of £552,835, gross liabilities of £1,916,864 and net liabilities of £1,069,035.

Dominic Brookman, CEO of VMG, said: "The sale of the assets of TrainFX represents the successful conclusion of several months of discussions to sell this area of Vision Media Group. This deal provides us with returns that will exceed the value of our investment in TrainFX to date. The immediate cash deposits, as well as realising the value of the loan notes over time, will contribute to the development of our already-established outdoor media offering. In addition, we also retain a beneficial interest in the potential growth of TrainFX as New Planet develops this to exploit what remain major, but as yet unfulfilled, commercial opportunities within the transport sector.
