back to to the float price - and the company had made an acquisition since then. Nice to see someone else on this board! Are you a holder?

different company, HOL is (as of today) the symbol for a different company who got listed on AIM today...

There was a full one page article in Investors Chronical (IC) a couple of weeks back which had a real go at the impending Hollywood media IPO, the bottom line was they thought it was a total rip off at 3p per share. Anyone who is considering an investment in HOL should read a copy of the IC article before committing funds.

Why dont you take a look at TMG (yes, even you Hector!), Thistle Mining.

A few fundamentals for you:

1. Current market cap £8 mill
2. Current gold production : 160k oz/year
3. Current ZAR gold price: 4500
4. Cost: 3500
5. Estimated free cash flow (annual) based on current zar gold and zar us$ rates: £12 million.
6. Fair value: £180 million or ca £3.60
7. This EXCLUDES Masbate project, Golden Triangle and RR

Allow for this:
1. SA Business want ZAR US at 10:1
2. Charts indicate ZAR US at 8 quite soon (this year)
3. Gold about to start second big run to 800+
4. Based on gold at 800 and Zarus at 8 and 160k oz/year production, £30 mill free cash flow annually for TMG. Fair value = £450 mill and share price of £9 !! That is, btw, A 50-BAGGER FROM HERE

The company is much unloved due to historical performance. However, AXA IM purchased a very large holding a couple of weeks ago and we have it from the CFO that there is another Inst after a similar sized holding, The tide is turning for this stock and the potential shareholder returns are ENORMOUS!!

How much have you got tied up in HOL ?

Finally, I agree with your view on the manipulation of the share price pre-MBO. If releasing *exactly* the same bad news about *exactly* the same poor numbers, in four "different" press releases over a period of two or three months isn't manipulation, I don't know what is.

Also, the article reporting that Bridgepoint/Permira bought HP for £210 million is, again in my opinion, a little misleading. They paid 25p per share (there were only about 100 million shares available), so the total cost of 100% of the shares would have been 25.4 million (had all the shares been available to buy). They didn't manage to get 100% (they got around 93-94%). The rest of the 210 million figure quoted was, as I understand it, loans to HP - which had to be repaid to Bridgepoint and Permira. To repay the loans, I believe HP issued more shares (leading to the above-mentioned dilution of existing shareholders - which, as a minor shareholder, I heard nothing about - and for which I still have no details) and sold off parts of its business. I can only assume that all the newly-issued shares were purchased by Bridgepoint/Permira. I don't know how many shares were issues, or at what price, but I'm guesssing it was around another 100 million or so, sold at around 25p per share. Who knows - I mean, you'd think a company would inform its shareholders about this, but apparently not.

Actually, in the Virgin Deal, Holmes Place is valued at about £80 million - the combined company (Virgin Active + Holmes Place) is valued at £700 million, and perhaps £1000 million by the time of an IPO next year. Bridgepoint/Permira are essentially trading in Holmes place for 12-15% of the combined company (though they are hanging on to some European branches of HP).

I understand that Bridepoint and Permira diluted remaining shareholders by some amount over the past couple of years. As a shareholder, I received no information regarding this, but from what little snippets I have picked up I believe existing shareholders have been diluted to 50% of their initial holding. If this is the case, then the current £80 million valuation of HOL suggests each original share is currently worth 40p, or up to 55p should an IPO happen next year (though of course any such shares will presumably be converted to shares in Virgin Active).

This is all personal opinion of course - I hope I'm right, as I've tied up far too much cash in this unfortunate project - the lack of information and transparency from this company's management has been horrifying.

i always felt the share price of these was manipulated before the buyout at 210 million to get the price down to an absurdly cheap level.


This company as i remember was sold off way below asset value at the time after a number of well timed profit warnings.

Barstards

Now all of a sudden the company is worth 700 - 800m

Another one for the fsa to ignore.
