here we go guys this could be a breakout and head up to 4p in the morning

[memoeryman] 04/1/2006 12:22

nice tick up, lets hope it begins to build now and this one could be a goldmine

[tiptornado] 04/1/2006 12:02

Love your reference to IQL.
I would also liken it to that stock in the potential for rising.

I see they have upped the sell price slightly today, all because of 1 £3k buy that went through yesterday.

Happy times for holders of this stock to come I believe.

[memoeryman] 03/1/2006 16:54

nice article, this could be a real winner. could easily do a iql, and see 10p within days/weeks or months. just a matter of time I feel.

Also in the Express (sorry no link):

Under the 'Have a healthy New Year'

"Best High Speed Workout
Power Plate, £2599 from 020 7224 0090
Ultra-pricey piece of equipment but Madonna, Sadie Frost and Claudia Schiffer swear by this digital vibrating platform and prefer to use it at home rather than be seen wobbling in public. You stand in poses sych as the "squat" and the vibrations are transferred from the platform to the body. The manufacturers claim that 10 minutes "vibration technology" is the same as a 60 minute strenuous gym workout. "

Body&Soul

Lunchtime fix: the power-plate workout
By carola long

"The reason I never make it to the gym is because my hectic life doesn't leave time for exercise, what with the demands of work . . . " Sound familiar? Well, it's no longer valid because the Power-Plate promises all the benefits of regular exercise in just ten minutes.

What's it all about? The Power-Plate is a vibrating platform that you stand on. This transfers vibrations to your muscles and causes them to contract in a reflex action. You hold static positions, such as squats and lunges, for 30 seconds and the contraption does the muscle-work for you - or so its makers claim. It also reduces the warming-up time.

Ouch factor Holding the positions is harder than you'd think, but it's still much easier than jogging. My limbs felt tingly afterwards and I ached a bit the next day. One slightly comic side-effect, though, is that if you speak while on the machine your voice acquires an electronic wobble that makes you sound like a Dalek: "Ex-er-cise! Ex-er-cise!"

Clockwatching A full session is a 10-minute workout and 15 minutes of warming up.

Frequency Three sessions a week are recommended.

Trick or treat? It's hardly luxurious but there is a certain smug satisfaction to be gained from the knowledge that you are cheating. It's also less strenuous than ordinary exercise. You can even place tired calves on the platform for a post-workout massage.

Verdict Brilliant! After just one session I felt more toned. The poses are fairly easy and you aren't pedalling or running for 40 minutes. Madonna has a machine - and look at her. On second thoughts, it might be a bit too effective.

Appointments The Power-Plate is available in gyms around the country including Holmes Place, Fitness First and Cannons, as well as the main Power-Plate studio at 108 Crawford St, London W1H 2JB. A 25-minute class costs £15. Call 020-7224 0090; or visit www.power-plateuk.com

could be up quite a bit today. press may get hold of the statement and we may see some more interest in this company

[memoeryman] 16/12/2005 14:42

looking good for the future despite what dell and his derampers say

[bighappy] 24/11/2005 17:10

Since we can quote an extensive record of Tiptornado failures here and elsewhere, perhaps he would like to specify the Dell disasters he quotes so that Dell can defend himself. At least he is likely to have a cogent argument as to why his advice may have been incorrect, unlike Tipster who just starts slagging off his detractors without resort to fact or figure, and a strong emphasis on warm words.

[dell314] 24/11/2005 10:32

tiptornado's back and he actually has the nerve to question my credibility!!

Yes, he is the poster that told you ADE were distributing Power Plate to 30 countries or more(Oops! What a huge lie!).

He is the poster that regularly used news about the "original power plate"(now rebadged vibrogym) to ramp this stock, when ADE's subsidiary LFS don't actually distribute the vibrogym(Oops again!).

He is the poster who denied that ADE's recent cash injection was because they needed it to be signed off as a going concern(Ooops! They only would have had £100k or so net cash without it at year end).

He wants you to believe that a mere licensing and royalty agreement for fitbug is huge news. Whilst it will no doubt improve the (weak) performance of fitbug, how much is this deal realistically going to add to the bottom line?

And now this proven liar questions my credibility.
Oh dear, oh dear!

Anyway, thanks tiptornado!
Keep up the good work!

People should ask themselves, why when they click on postings made by dangerous dell314, they only find negative posts?

Because he is corrupt.
He uses multiple usernames.
One for his stocks, and the other to deramp stocks.

The evidence is there to be seen, just click on his username and see just how much of a prolific deramper the guy is.

I know of at least two people who got stuffed because they actually gave his posts some credibility..... LOL.... Dell, Credible..... LOL....

This filter is good.... III should adopt it.
Bighappy is of course the notorious Misstaken/manuremuncher/ramptastic/pickmeup/stockme etc etc etc who infests the III board.

As well as news of contract wins, I fully expect to see Ben exercise his options at 4p before Xmas.

Fords, O2, Brunswick...... Who Next??

Expect more news of contract wins. (Heard here first)

And I quote from yesterdays news....

"In the UK, momentum has been building with a number of blue-chip organisations adopting Fitbug as part of their employee well-being programmes. Personal trainers and medical practitioners are also using the system to follow their clients' activity levels outside of training sessions or consultations. Additionally, Fitbug is continuing to explore other technologies to integrate with and enhance its offering."

Bighappy - I'm always fascinated that, at the flotsam end of the AIM market, there are always those willing to buy on news, with absolutely no idea of the financial impact of that news.

Do people that have bought this, yesterday and today, really believe that a licensing and royalty deal for fitbug is going to drastically alter ADE's financial situation?

The reality of ADE is that it is an investment company/incubator with £875k of investments(at cost) plus around £650k cash and a not insignificant cashburn.

If one valued it in the usual fashion for investment companies/incubators, you'd come up with a market cap of around £1.5mln(cash plus investments).
Realistically, you'd then discount that figure, as the investments are unquoted and hence not readily saleable.

Yet, today, at a mid of 3.5p, ADE is capped at the best part of £4mln!

Doesn't that suggest a considerable premium is already built in to cover any future success of ADE's investments?

In the future, ADE may well assist the devlopment of the subsidiaries to profitability and even successfully exit from one or more, with a decent return, but isn't the current valuation somewhat premature?

All IMHO, DYOR etc.

There is nothing worse in my mind than pretending to be long when all you want is a quick get out on the back of a hyped price.

In one poster here we have a serial offender whose record is one of consistent promotion of small illiquid stocks. Going back some time that poster even apparently admitted as much.

Anyway, watch out for his enthusiasms as they have also been directed at HER, FLG, ZBA/ZAR, COO and many others that have failed to deliver other than on spikes.

No money news is in my opinion no news. I would announce a deal like this with some numbers attached at least in terms of sales targets. After all, if Brunswick has bought such a marevellous product then ADE must have been able to get a good deal since it will sell so many units, won't it/wouldn't they?

Watch boiler room for typical ramp tactics and compare with what you see and hear on these boards. Of course a certain poster tends to play it cool and lets his email buddies do most of the dirty work. Unfortunately rarely stand up to scrutiny especially of forensic sort as done by Dell.

[dell314] 23/11/2005 12:29

tiptornado - As you have reposted it, can we assume that it represents your views too?

How do you know that this contract is phenomenal??
Do you know the size of the license fee or royalty payments?
Yes, we are only talking about license fees and royalties here.

Why do you consider the board to be top quality?
Didn't Holmes Place shaft its shareholders with an extremely low priced VC backed MBO? Is it credible that ADE wrote off £2mln of goodwill to make their accounts look better. Should they be capitalising some development costs to improve the P&L?


What is the reality here?
The last results showed a significant cash outflow.
None of the subs can actually return cash until they have distributable reserves.
So when is the cash outflow likely to cease.

This company has investments priced at only £875k at cost plus its remaining cash.
If it was valued on a similar basis to other incubators/investment companies, it would be nowhere near current price and therefore already has a significant premium priced in for "future potential" IMHO.....

all IMHO, DYOR etc.

Copied from III, but sums it up quite nicely.....

Worth researching Brunswick, they are HUGE, and for ADE to secure a 3 year contract is really quite phenominal.

ADE imo can kook forward to a bright future. the fact that there products are being launched by the likes of 02. Ford and now
Brunswick proves that these larger companys see potential in the
product and in time the money will start rolling in and let's not
forget the huge potential of Powerplate and Ez-book which both
have the prospect of huge profit's and allso the consulting side
which will make a positive impact.

Sure none of this will come easy and ADE is a young co and they will need finance further down the line most likely, most newly
launched cos do.
This is and allways was a long term investment but the rewards
will come in time.
We have a board of top quality and quality will out in the end.

Mark C Graham

Well Done regards showing a profit but you state the administrative expenses are outrageously high at £1m.
You fail to take account of the fact that this figure includes launch costs
and product development.
The figures below show a loss of 506,000 at half year and a loss of 194,000 for the second half which is 700,000 for the full year.
The cash balance remains healthy at 600,000 and i disagree that cash burn will
wipe this out within twelve months as the launch costs and product development
costs were included in the first half and ADDLEISURE is to a degree now well
established.

After going over these results a few times i can see the signs are there that
Addleisure may just make it.

Chairman's Statement


The Company marked its first year as an AIM listed entity with a number of
positive achievements. As shareholders will be aware, ADDleisure was established
to invest in early stage businesses which may be challenging but which could
also deliver generous returns. I am delighted to say that the ventures we have
undertaken to date have shown every prospect of delivering solid and consistent
rewards for shareholders, enabling us to become a leading investor in the health
and leisure sectors.





In line with the Board's expectations, the results for the six months ended 31
January 2005 show a turnover of #98,000, although the Company was not actively
trading for most of that time. There was a gross profit of #35,000 but after
deducting administrative expenses, which include product development and launch
costs, there was a loss for the period of #506,000 in line with internal
estimates. There is no dividend.

Loss of #0.7m reflecting the impact of initial investments
together with brand development and launch costs
