UK Analyst advises

"Canaccord Adams initiated its coverage of film library firm Handmade (HMF), noting that the opportunities available for the company in the intellectual property area, where "exposure to content and brands coupled with exploitation skills and careful management of the properties can result in attractive revenue". The broker commented that recent fund-raisings and transactions have "transformed" the company, with the addition of children's television properties to the existing portfolio of new and classic films. The company also has a proven US network capability, with 11 shows currently on air. Handmade has shown itself able to both create and market its children's content, as well as being able to align its 'Handmade Kids' brand to the "highly-trusted and renowned" National Geographic brand. In addition, the firm's film pipeline continues to build with key projects in 2010 being progressed that "should make significant contributions to revenue". Canaccord set its stance at 'buy' with a target price of 19p. Handmade shares rose by 0.5p to 9.25p."

Box Office numbers seemed ok despite the 'lukewarm' reviews.

I saw one article stating $12m for the first weekend and saying it was not a bad start for a 'cheap' $50m film. Not sure how the numbers would work for HMF.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Final figures will be released Monday.

1. "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," $140.7 million.

2. "The Blind Side," $34.5 million.

3. "2012," $26.5 million.

4. "Planet 51," $12.6 million.

5. "Disney's A Christmas Carol," $12.2 million.

6. "Precious: Based on the Novel `Push' by Sapphire," $11 million.

7. "The Men Who Stare at Goats," $2.8 million.

8. "Couples Retreat," $2 million.

9. "The Fourth Kind," $1.7 million.

10. "Law Abiding Citizen," $1.6 million.

I don't have a firm opinion on HMF one way or the other. Not impressed that with a 31 Dec year end they couldn't get their intellectual property rights valued and results published until 2 August. Not happy that they ended the year with £3.4m debt and a £3.35m pre tax loss after "Other administrative expenses" of £2.17m. The IPR valuation of 54p/share seems to jangle uncomfortably against the price at which they actually bought Handmade.

The best news is that their films will be financed on a no-recourse basis and that they have their own sales business (Sequence/HFI). But the problem is, independent film companies with a narrow range of projects simply cannot forecast what their future earnings may be (as they note, "there is a degree
of uncertainty surrounding the timing and amount of such cash inflows") and I note from the figures that "During the year ended 31 December 2006, the Group recorded a loss after tax of £3,254,000 and has made a loss in the period since the year end." The last bit isn't good news. As you might expect, there are no tangible assets whatsoever to back things up and "As at the balance sheet date the Group had no undrawn committed bank borrowing facilities".

If they get everything right, it could be interesting but the real problem is, they may not be able to show this until, as they say, they report for 2008 and 2009 - which may mean you're waiting until late 2008 for the first bits of tangible good news.

Not intentional the press cutting without the date...the repetitive postings are small chunks of the latest RNs...

some investors might prefer to read in portions..and correct it keeps the thread active...i am out for a few hours so will leave it to you tiredoldbroker to give your considered opinion of HMf..

it would be appreciated as i realise you are a knowledgeable guy..(absolutely no sarcasm there, i genuinely know that)

In your opinion what do you make of HMF?
Posted at 15/8/2007 10:46 by power talker
Looking good on here...next to no shares in issue..Excellent news last week....Yet most investors missed it...read the statement HMf released the news is incredible...This will be a £1 plus share soon..imho

Have a good read through the previous posts, you will be able to glean for yourself the value here. HMF have a very limited amount of shares in free float, and move either way on little volume.. Capitalised at just 9 million the potential here is staggering..IMHO.

Preliminary Results


2 AUGUST, 2007. LONDON, UK: HandMade plc (AIM: HMF), the international rights
and film company, is pleased to announce its Preliminary Results for the year
ended 31 December 2006 and that trading in its Ordinary Shares on the AIM Market
will recommence today at 12.30 p.m. The restoration of trading follows this
publication and announcement of HandMade's financial results for the year ended
31 December 2006. These results were delayed while a valuation of its
intellectual property rights was produced. The Directors are pleased to report
that this independent valuation values the rights at $131 million, equivalent to
54p per issued ordinary share (based on #1 = $2.024).


Highlights

* Eloise, one of the best known children's characters in the US, rapidly
developing with feature film, appointment of licensing agent, TV series and
Broadway production leading to merchandising exploitation
* Acquisition of Sequence Films proves great success
* HandMade's first Cannes Film Festival since joining AIM generates over $50
million (all dollar figures in this announcement refer to US dollars) in
film sales producing over $7 million of revenue for the Group
* Twelve films in development / production backed by $250 million external
funding
* Valuation of Intellectual Property Rights in excess of $130 million
* A loss after tax of #3.3m on turnover of #1.9m.
* Independent valuation values the Company's intellectual property rights at
$131 million, equivalent to 54p per issued ordinary share (based on #1 =
$2.024).


Chairman, Patrick Meehan, said:

"Just a year after joining AIM, HandMade is on fast forward. The twelve films in
development / production include Eloise in Paris and a remake of Long Good
Friday.

"Our Eloise franchise continues to grow and with the feature film Eloise in
Paris going into production in early 2008 we are well positioned to build this
property into a global success on the scale of Thomas the Tank Engine or Bob the
Builder. The coming year could not look more exciting."

I beleieve that HMF are seriously undervalued and have been completely missed by most investors..Take a look through the results and see the depth of possibilities Handmade have, not only with the Eloise franchise but the list of films going into production..

Its surprising that the price has fallen back since their re-admission a few weeks ago..Stick this one on your watch list its going to be a multi bagger..
