Just wonder if they've got something lined up for Friday.

don't think the figures alone would warrant a briefing meeting.

[the analyst] 20/11/2006 12:06

Yes, promising. Don't normally like Friday announcements, but the fact they are now briefing analysts is interesting.

[still waiting] 20/11/2006 08:01

Yep pre announcing results date, a lot more professional.

[philjeans] 20/11/2006 07:58

Looks promising.

[rivaldo] 20/11/2006 07:42

Or even Friday... :o))


Two points:
- no mention of problems or hiccups, so we should be able to expect in-line results
- it's the first time since IPO BTR have announced in the Notice of Results that they'll be briefing analysts and journalists. Hopefully this means they'll have something interesting to brief them about.

[rivaldo] 18/11/2006 18:28

Not much doubt about that SW, given that £50 of buy trades on Friday produced a rise of almost 5% (0.5p) :o)) C'mon then, who's the big spender with the spare fifty quid?!

Last year's results were 21st November, so could be as soon as Monday or Tuesday.

[still waiting] 18/11/2006 10:23

A good profit announcement would give this a big re-rating IMHO.

[philjeans] 17/11/2006 15:11

Looking forward to the results - figures should be encouraging.

Much more to come; it's basically undiscovered by the herd but will attract a lot more attention when we see some news.

[the analyst] 17/11/2006 14:35

It's not me buying in today by the way.

[the analyst] 17/11/2006 14:15

For what it's worth, I think the main asset for blue star mobile is Steve Clarke - a young, dynamic and very enthusiastic CEO.

I get the impression Steve is really dedicated to building the business and he is one of the major reasons I am accumulating stock. It's always good imo to have a CEO that is also the person that created the business as it should mean he has a passion for the company and it's success.

In the next couple of years I am really hoping he can build the business to be making £1m pa. Perhaps this year he can get a profit banked of a few hundred grand and then on to £1m+ pa either next year or the year after? Should he manage that, I think the market cap could easily justify £20m in two or three years time. It's a long-shot, but it's definitely possible imo.



"Steve Clarke - Chief Executive Officer
As Chief Executive of Blue Star Mobile, Steve plans and directs the organisation's activities to achieve stated targets and standards for financial trading performance, quality, culture and legislative adherence.

Steve is a successful entrepreneur having co-founded Property Jungle in April 1999, a business that was sold within 12 months. He also sold his lucrative catering company Creative Catering Limited in 1999, a company that he founded in 1995. Steve has extensive experience and senior level contacts within the mobile telecom industry.

Steve was previously a director at Rivals Digital Media where he developed the mobile business in addition to a wide range of diverse revenue streams."

A bit more interest today!

Big spread to prevent trading, anyone buying in should be looking long-term.

[rivaldo] 17/11/2006 13:44

Strewth, up again! Down to you Still Waiting?

[still waiting] 16/11/2006 08:04

I'm hoping the results attract some more attention for this sleepy share.

May even have a top up pre results if funds allow..

[rivaldo] 15/11/2006 22:05

Hi analyst, good to see some keen interest here for a change! I don't think peterstilgoe's been here for a while. I'd say set up a new thread if you want, though perhaps it'd be a good idea to wait till the results, which are imminent after all?

Having missed out on doubling my money I've been happy to wait for this one to come good - hopefully I'll get the full AIM taper relief. On a m/cap of £2.8m, with £400k of cash, historic £3.1m turnover and possible £150k or more PBT in H1 I can't see too much downside.

But I can see possible multibagger upside. Even a £10m m/cap would be a 250% gain. If the H1 results are fine we should see a decent re-rating imo.

[the analyst] 15/11/2006 21:11

Yes indeed!

[still waiting] 15/11/2006 20:28

Largest volume for a long while today, you like a flutter TA!!!

[the analyst] 15/11/2006 19:00

Does peterstilgoe still post, or is it worth me making a new thread with the latest news and links?

Blue Star Mobile Group

Around every corner seems to be a company offering customers content for mobile phones, and Blue Star Mobile is one of these.

It has all the usual contracts, with deals with News International, Trinity Mirror, Channel 4, Samsung, Motorola, promotions with brands including BA and Bacardi, and a link-up with T-Mobile.

The one with T-Mobile is perhaps the most timely, as it has been re-appointed as the mobile phone company's English football sponsorship agency.

This means Blue Star negotiates and manages all of T-Mobile's sponsorship contracts with the likes of Aston Villa and Charlton Athletic. This is timely as it is also working with the mobile phone firm on the upcoming football World Cup, which should pay dividends.

It also announced this week a deal with phone retailer The Link to develop and manage an England text alert service during the tournament.

The one thing that makes Blue Star different from so many of the mobile content companies is that it actually makes money. Having only floated on the Aim market in April, the company this week released full-year results showing it made a small profit in the second half.

But from acorns do oak trees grow, and stockbroker Seymour Pierce, which is still finalising its forecasts for the year to March 2007, believes Blue Star can achieve sales of £4.2m providing an operating profit of £500,000.

That would value the shares, currently at 16p, at 11.5 times earnings. Worth a look.

Partnered with Bango

Mobile Movie Award Announced
Mobile film content creation company Production TLMH (TLMH) is teaming up with mobile content group Blue Star Mobile and Hollywood director, Irvin Kershner, who directed 'Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back', to sponsor a pioneering mobile film award.
Blue Star, TLMH and Kershner are sponsoring the Talent Circle Super Shorts Mobile Award. The award will be given to a film made for screening on handheld devices such as iPods, mobile phones and PSPs. All films must be a minimum of 20 seconds and a maximum of 60 seconds in length.
The award forms part of The Talent Circle Super Shorts Film Festival, a free short film festival that takes place between 17-24 July in venues across Soho (London) and consists of screenings, networking, industry events and parties. The Awards ceremony takes place at the Odeon, Covent Garden on 24 July, followed by a VIP closing night.
Kerschner, TLMH Chief Executive Tony Klinger, and a representative from Blue Star Mobile will form the judging panel for the award. Kershner has also been appointed as overall Festival Patron. He says:
"Talent Circle's Super Shorts Film Festival is a great contribution to the development of film. Today, audiences do not see enough of new and creative film-making in the form of short films, and only witness the feature length films that come largely from Hollywood. This festival gives young film makers a chance to exhibit their ideas and projects to the public, and gives audiences a chance to see new and refreshing films from the undiscovered future filmmakers."
For TLHM, Klinger adds:
"TLMH is proud to be a sponsor of Talent Circle in association with our partners Blue Star. The addition of Irvin Kershner is the icing on this very rich and special cake! Such a stellar combination reflects the growing prevalence of content creators in the mobile entertainment market and the creative industry at large."
TLMH is enabling audiences to view the short-listed films online and then text-vote for their favourite films. Users will receive a mobile video download as a reward for voting.

Well, I'm hoping for around £2.5m turnover, but that might be a bit optimistic. It's very hard top value the contracts they have been winning.

Any sort of profit over £150k for H1 would be very good imo, rising to £250k for H2. At this stage it's just guess work though.

[still waiting] 15/11/2006 16:55

How much profit you expecting for H1?

[the analyst] 15/11/2006 16:51

Yes I am expecting news, I just don't know what or when, lol!

I think the opening of the US office is a direct result of increased interest in their services over there.

Quite a few other interesting things about this company have come to my attention too. I think it looks like a fun share to be in. High risk, but quite some growth potential imo.

[still waiting] 15/11/2006 15:57

You must be expecting news?
