Jim like so many owner managers is currently to blinkered in his approach, he needs to get new insti on board and relinguish some controll of the company, he has basically fowled up and needs new people who can help him turn this company around, whether he is man enough to do it time alone will tell?

agreed .. if the share price plummets Jim can buy up all the shares for peanuts.

But why go private when all the rivals are publically-quoted multinationals?
wouldn't make sense IMO. You need to be a listed company to compete in this tough smartphone market.

A listing in Dubai would't be strong enough either, in a global marketplace.

If he wants to stay on AIM maybe he should copy cfm (where the share price is also low right now) and do a share buyback. That's what cfm are going to do (and look how cheap they're going to get them!)

another product review (2.10.08)

Closing Shop

In all honesty, the i-mate 6150 presents itself as a device that comes with the right stuff: powerful processor and sufficient memory to tackle its workload, good battery stamina and basic connectivity options such as Wi-Fi and HSDPA, sans the now commonly sighted GPS. Nonetheless, there are also a few things to consider such as its bulky and heavier exterior, but the burning question from consumers is how much you'll have to shell out for the 6150's capabilities. The answer: this device looks to be comfortable on the wallet, with a very reasonable price tag of S$798 without contract for a relatively no-frills device that gets the job done.

give us some credit, loosing did blanket the BB`s
but he didn`t hold a gun to anybodys head

If anything Jim is the biggest culprit, on the 3rd september in an interview he stated that there was 25 mil cash in the bank.

i will be giving him a call soon need some answers

i may load up with some more at these levels depending on his answers

but the turnover is still ok so maybe he can turn it around

just hope we dont have to wait 9 months for the interims

failing that i can still get out. i have identified another stock that should over the next 2 years pay me back plus some more

[8trader] 01/10/2008 16:07

Loosing - quite appropriate how your post states "buyers nibbling .50p" - That full stop makes the price 1/2 pence, which is where the share is heading!!

Well done!

[deanroberthunt] 01/10/2008 11:50

back to imte:

Yesterday Morrison revealed that nominated advisors Cazenove had indicated it wished to resign, and i-mate was looking at the "purpose and value" of being listed on the Aim, the cost of which the company estimated to be about $2m a year.

The company has another nominated advisor to be appointed if the company elects to remain listed, Morrison said.

Despite describing the year as "disastrous", Morrison said the next 12 months was looking a lot better, with a better, leaner product pipeline.

He added: "We will focus on controlling our costs and making sure that our new products are world beating and, therefore, despite the current market conditions, are confident in the group's continued activity."

The former head of mobile devices at BT, Morrison founded i-mate in Glasgow in 2001, reducing his stake to around three quarters when the company listed on the Aim in 2005, before relocating to Dubai in 2006.

looser - but there was no mention of the price of any offer.

So, the "100% below offer approach" is a little deceiving in your above post ??

Just out of interest, how much have you lost on ZZL so far ??

[loosing] 30/9/2008 12:45

d6 ZEEHAN ZINC/ZZL now 100% below offer approach last week.take-out price multiples of current share price in weeks
