"If Simon Cole ...is not full of bull..."

UBC IPO'd with S.Cole...about 10 or 15 years ago...

imho the data shows he's been issuing 'bull' ever since...
Just read the never ending UBC promises/targets that all failed to be delivered under SC....

Been never ending cash raises...or selling off divisions to raise cash ....odds on imho that another cash raise is coming soonish....unless white rabbit and a hat, I doubt it.

MQA

Big fu$@&ing deal

It is just a music file....a data file....

Call it MP3, MQA or whatever you want....it is still just a data file you are trying to sell ...via download or streaming...

7DIG numbers have been a disaster...loss making...running out of cash....
imho it either rockets its profitability/turnover ( not gonna happen imho) or does a cash raise....

& if a cash raise...at what price will it fly ?
MOS did it recently (while claiming that everything was great) at half price.

OCHS: 6P is my average price buying after the directors bought shares in September.Re the chance of a placing:That can not be ruled out for any company on AIM. Its also the reason why the shares are not 16P plus today. Looking at a few facts, Milton group have also bought shares recently and will not want to be shafted within months.The shares are ORD 10P.This prevents any issue of placing shares under that price without a great deal of paperwork.Next we have to ask do they need cash.?Based on the last accounts, cost cutting,new orders,higher margins and the falling pound the answer is no.Those items all help the company to break even in this last half.That would mean all things being equal cash in hand at the half year (2016) should also be that amount on December 31. 7Dig only has to pay a small amount each year for Snowhite that can easily be done.
If Simon Cole is correct and not full of bull then profits substantial profits, should not be far off.

What's your average price pet lover and what do you think are the odds on another placing being needed to steer this company to profitability? Clearly the potential is there but the market seems to have been doubtful for 2 years now.

Perhaps the stock is just cheap after years of disappointment. 2017 just might be the year they finally deliver. 7Dig are in a booming market sector that produce recurring revenues,(growing with the companies they serve).Margins are being transformed from 7% on downloads up to 90% on licensing deals. Costs have also been slashed.MQA and Radioplayer are the keys that the competition does not have giving yet another edge and advantage to 7Dig. ☔️ here cats and dogs.

Towards the end Simon informs listeners the market will be worth $250M in 2-3 years time and he is looking for 7Dig to have 30%.-40% market share.
That timeline is now 1-2 years. Part of his optimism is I believe based on the success of MQA and 7Dig'S ability to market the music platform around the world.

2 1/2 years ago UBC Media and 7Dig joined forces at a total valuation of £29M. Today after dumping most of its low margin work and winning new high margin recurring revenues it's worth just £7.M. From that one can deduce that it was overvalued then or undervalued now. We will know by Xmas next year.🌲ӽ94;

UBC Media has agreed to buy digital music service 7digital, uniting the Aim-listed radio content producer with a technology company that powers dozens of music streaming services.

Sample the FT’s top stories for a week

UBC, whose customers include the BBC, said it had agreed to purchase 7digital for £16.5m. The transaction is structured as a reverse takeover and will be financed by the issuance of new shares and a £6m placing.

The enlarged company – to be called 7digital Group PLC – is expected to have a valuation of about £29m once the new shares are admitted for trading on June 10, UBC said.

Simon Cole, chief executive of UBC, said the deal “will create a world leading digital music and radio platform that is ideally positioned to exploit the convergence of radio and digital music services”.

He added that the business would also be well-placed to “drive consolidation of the fragmented B2B digital music industry”.

London-based 7digital provides the technology that powers music download and streaming services for companies including Samsung and T-Mobile. The lossmaking company’s biggest shareholders include Imagination Technologies and Dolby Laboratories.

Mr Cole said that one of the rationales behind the deal between UBC and 7digital was “the speed with which digital music is moving from downloads to streaming, and from streaming to [online] radio”.

Combining UBC’s expertise in radio content with 7digital’s technology would allow the combined group to offer “Pandora-style” online radio services for its customers, Mr Cole said.

Some of the world’s biggest technology companies – including Apple and Google – have over the past year started to compete with Pandora by offering radio-style interactive music services. These services play songs selected by a computer algorithm rather than a human DJ.

The Streaming Music Price Wars Have Started

By Staff Report - December 5, 2016


Hypebot reports: “It was probably only a matter of time, but it now looks like the first of many streaming music price wars has truly broken out. In a reaction to Amazon entering the streaming market with its Music Unlimited service, Google has extended the free trial period for its Play Music service to 4 months, making a new subscription average of about $6.66 over the course of the first year. In response, Spotify reintroduced its offer of just $0.99 for the first 3 months of premium streaming access. This deal was previously offered during the summer and resulted in about 2 million new subscribers per month. The problem, of course, is keeping the paid users after they subscribe, and as noted in previous posts, as many as 25% of streaming subscribers jump from free plan to free plan when their trial period is up.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is just what I have predicted in previous posts as the £9.99 a month subscription model suffers intense competition.

7Dig are in the B2B market and don't rely on direct consumer streaming subscriptions.
