Sorry to see this happen to any company and its shareholders but VDS was doomed from the start - conceived in Australia and listed in the UK by their former chairman who has a track record of taking companies public too early in stock markets in which they have little, if any operations. The MO is then to exit the company and leave the management team pedaling to meet the public investors expectations - TPS is a similar example where the company started in England and was listed in Canada first, then dual listed on the LSE before coming to AIM.

The other problem they faced is that the bigger players didn't take too long to deliver equivalent or better features and their window of opportunity closed pretty quickly. They really didn't have much of a unique offering and this one should never have been IPO'd in my humble opinion, but it wasn't the first and won't be the last to fall into this category. Would have fared better back in the late 90's but not today. The economic downturn has little impact on companies where they have a me too solution and meagre revenues.

I've just come across the VDS news. I was rather surprised perhaps because my vague prediction of a long time ago has turned out to have been accurate. FBT isn't really in the streaming market but Stephen may wish to take a look at the technology. You could leave a note on the FBT board. However, FBT doesn't have much money.

The BBC iPlayer can provide very good quality and YouTube has improved significantly recently by apparently hosting the videos in the UK. FBT's streaming quality is now very poor in comparison. Somewhat strangely, the FBT videos started playing after I had downloaded OpenOffice which seems to include a Java component.

Amazing spins



Great legs

Maybe Stephen could integrate the VDS technology into his codec?

Not been holding since last year, nmf777. Shame to see their demise, though, as they had some great technology.

Thought they had a real future back in late 2006, when they started winning what looked to be big contracts and were increasing revenues quickly. But with no significant contract wins leading to product launch since that period, I guess the writing has been on the cards for a while. I wonder where the technology will end up? I'm sure it still has a use.

Deansaunders, if you read my post you will see that the AGM I was referring to was the Bright Things plc AGM, not VDS.

nice find, a bit like the old dot com days again with talk of possible announcements and 5-10-fold increases in share price within a week of good news being announced!

My favorite thing about FBT is Stephen Streater, great interview to watch

Talking of ex Eidos directors, dotcoms etc, I've been investing in Bright Things (BGT). Social media and all that type of thing.

Went to the BGT AGM last week and it's the first one I've been to for a long time where everyone appeared to be genuinely relaxed, happy and optimistic about things. The had some of the techies there at the AGM, which was good to see - they are obviously all really enjoying working on their new venture.

Nice to have at least one speculative 'fun' share in the portfolio...

Well that rise didn't last long!!

In simplistic terms, if the original placing price was 25p and the share price was at 28p, surely this should be a lot higher if the 35p is agreed - I guess we will have to wait for the EGM next wednesday.

Is it safe to assume that if it does get agreed the minimum share price will be around the 35p mark?

additional comment from lemminginvestor

Clearly, the slide in Vividas is overdone, though; illiquid stocks in very poor market conditions tend to have this effect. From the brief communication with CEO Paul Neville, it's also clear he has been bombed with many enquiries, some of which appear nonsensical.

In my brief update on the 7 November that VDS I suggested the company struggled to raise these funds and could only do so at such a discount. Neville told me this was in fact due to market conditions and small continual sellers especially from the original shareholder base in Australia , the price has continued to fall despite the good announcements VDS have made. Therefore the difficult market has really impacted the company and it has been very difficult to raise the money through capital markets. Paul said VDS are still looking for trade investor's longer term.

Investors need to be mindful VDS has actually made significant strategic progress during the last 8 months. Sales have been encouraging and the company has actually met market expectations.

Once the company has got over the fixed costs of being a plc and having significant R&D expenditure, VDS can move forward apace.

VDS have a very encouraging pipeline. ''We have closed around 20% of the deals that we said but the financial impact of these comes through in H2 as we are moving forward with getting content encoded before sites can be launched when we get a PPV revenue share.''

Paul pointed out the ABC trial contract in Australia which has been a success and we expect to move forward commercially. We have also announced commercial trial with Thomson Financial.

''We continue to invest in R&D and have new developments coming out in the next 3 to 6 months. We are still ahead of the game.''

Most of the content of that piece was harping on about the share price and how it had previously moved, gloating and boasting.

Did you do an equally long and tedious article about the share price drop from 600p to 200p including in depth discussion on the percentages, where it stands on the leader board etc. for balance?

I suspect not.

hmmm....

LOL,

"Lemming published 4pp on 1 Feb - possibly before any peer organisation"

I was trying to understand what part, if any, the Lemming recommendation could have played in the recent rise in the VDS share price. The rise began a few days before 1 February and continued through that date. So the jury must still be out on whether the recommendation, or news of the forthcoming recommendation, played any part. A slightly suspicious coincidence at the very least. Maybe news had leaked of the contracts mentioned in the 7 February trading update.
