Seems to have found a home at about 10p for now

[qipincha] 22/9/2009 15:55

if it keep falling, I will buy in...:)

To onlythebest2,
Thanks.

From their interim report,2009, it can be seen that their equity is 38,489,000. There are totally around 70m shares, so the nav is around 50p. (i need to double check this as I know they have issued some share in 2008, around 92m, but cann't find exact number, if this is right, then the nav should be around 20p. )

The good thing of this company is:
1. debt is on an affordable level.
2. hasn't issue more shares at the worst time
3. recenlty they have signed a few new contract, under current economic enviroment, it is defenitely a good thing to cheer up...

The main debt is a consequence of disposal of the pub division in 2008. imo, the company was doing well in 2007, however, the expansion of company incurred serious problem in 2008,mainly from the pub division, but luckly they have turned around and in recovery now. In short term, I expect the share price to tick up again shortly as we have already saw the right foot up. In mid to long term, as the trading volume increase, we shall see profit next year.

welcome qipincha - that is a shame that you didn't buy earlier but i think we're on track for some very positive price movement going forward. the share price is severely underpriced as far as i'm concerned.

if anything, we could do without this silly bidder / interested party so that the share price can return to a more intrinsic value. i was in Finsbury Food (FIF) when an RNS came out there was an interested party. The share price rose, and when the party removed themselves it went higher still because people realised just how cheap it was. i reckon over 40 pence here, what do you think? historically, of course, the share price was over 300 - that would be nice!

are my share price estimates too low do you think?

[qipincha] 15/9/2009 14:29

I am in!
:)
I have been watching this stock for a few months!
Shame did not have cash to buy at that time...

andrbea - Clutching at straws! Its the not the same company!

[andrbea] 14/9/2009 08:43

rok is up 6%
as ingg have an existing deal with them, maybe we'll go up too :-)

[onlythebest2] 10/9/2009 23:04

the "buy prefs" idea is if it's taken out, right?

i reckon there's a good chance it won't be taken over - in which case the ords are the place to be.

some views on mobile gaming vs online gaming

9.9.09

Satoshi Sakai, producer on the Phantasy Star Portable series, agreed. "Eventually, mobile phones and mobile game systems will fuse into one," he said. "You still need a bit of knowledge to play games via wi-fi, but if we can make playing online games as simple as making a phone call, I think those games will be a daily routine for all gamers. We might see gamers devoting their main playtime to the console and then playing in little bits here and there on a portable device when they're out."



booming market?

September 9, 2009 - North Bergen, N.J. - SkyZone Entertainment, Inc., a leading provider of premium mobile games, content, and services with strong deployment capabilities, today announced the wireless game version of one of the most anticipated movies of the year - Focus Features' 9. Developed through an agreement with Universal Partnerships & Licensing, and available for download with most major U.S. carriers and on iPhone, 9: The Mobile Game will launch in conjunction with the feature film's nationwide release by Focus on Wednesday, September 9 - 9/9/09. An action-packed adventure, director Shane Acker's animated fantasy epic 9 is the feature-length expansion of his Academy Award-nominated 2004 short film of the same name. Tim Burton (Beetlejuice) and Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) are among the feature's producers; the film's screenplay is by Pamela Pettler (Monster House); and the movie's voice cast of 9 includes Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly, and Crispin Glover.

SkyZone has developed the 9 storyline into a mobile game and will distribute it through the company's extensive network of carriers and partners. The deal reinforces SkyZone's strong position in mobile gaming and adds to the company's growing list of licenses with strong brands.

"SkyZone is committed to making quality games, and we are honored that Universal has chosen to partner with us again," said Key Sar, Chief Marketing Officer, SkyZone Entertainment. "To be able to join the creative process with such wonderfully creative and unique visionaries is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our developers. Films produced by Tim and Timur lend themselves perfectly to interactive platforms, and we fully expect the mobile game to appeal to their legions of fans and the millions of people who will rush to see this movie."

"9: The Mobile Game allows fans of the film to immerse themselves in an action-packed game that they can play virtually anywhere, anytime," said Bill Kispert, Vice President, Digital Platforms, Universal Partnerships & Licensing. "The talented team at SkyZone has cleverly integrated the various 9 characters and their unique abilities to bring depth, richness, and challenge to the overall gaming experience."

Featuring stunning graphics and captivating scenery, 9: The Mobile Game features 15 levels with various landscapes and parallels the story told in the movie. Taking advantage of the device's technological capabilities, the iPhone/iPod Touch version includes enhanced graphics and sound as well as full sets of animations.

The partnership with Universal continues a relationship between the two companies that began with the launch of the Animal House mobile game in 2008.

hmm without an RNS I'm wondering if the Playtech announcement is a red herring..

[lordwilson] 07/9/2009 00:08

buy the prefs !

[hoolers] 06/9/2009 13:16

Sul2, didnt see what time that came out on Friday. If it was before close then I feel more heartened that the share price might hold tomorrow. Lets hope so. I bought in June and topped up mid Aug so very happy with current levels and hoping for more.

[sul2] 05/9/2009 17:20

But if this news was out on friday (not via RNS) then surelt the price would've dropped on Friday? But it rose by >10%

[hoolers] 05/9/2009 09:04

Are we going to expect an announcement soon saying the approach is off? Then all EPT disclosures etc cease? Odd we didnt get this on Friday.

2ndly this company has been making several announcements with regard to fresh contracts which surely should push it's value up. It was in fact the ROK deal that sent the share price rocketing although I suspect it fuelled the takeover rumour with interest. More than likely the share price will drop on Monday given the above but not sure it will be back to the 2.5p we saw earlier this year. Then hopefully a steady rise back to sensible levels

Preference shares look set to drop seeing as these are the ones that would benefit most from a takeover. All IMHO of course

Playtech Admits Passing On Inspired
4 Sep, 2009 / GamblingCompliance Ltd. / Scott Longley


Playtech has admitted it made an approach to gambling machine supplier Inspired Gaming before deciding against going through with any outright bid for the UK-listed company.
The revelation came from Playtech's departing chief financial officer Shuki Barak at the presentation of the online gaming software provider's first half results.

Asked whether Playtech's acquisition strategy would encompass a bid for Inspired – which told the market in late July it had received an approach from an unnamed source – Barak said the companies had been in contact but that Playtech had decided against taking the enquiry any further.

"The bottom line answer is no," Barak told GamblingCompliance. "I can't say we haven't looked, but the answer is no. Unofficial talks; but the answer is no."

Playtech already has an interest in the gaming machine market via its Videobet subsidiary, but Barak suggested its intentions in this area with regard to any M&A would focus on buying into software suppliers rather than machine manufacturers.

"We are focusing on software, similar to Playtech," he said. "We are trying to be close as we can to being a software provider only... If I could choose, we would choose to focus on software. But if an opportunity came, the board would consider it, but only if it worked for Playtech."

The Inspired chairman Russell Hoyle said at the time of the announcement of a fresh approach that it was "incredibly preliminary". "It was somebody interested in having a chat, someone wrote a letter," he said in July. "It was no more than that."

Since the prospect of a bid was made public, the Inspired share price has managed something of a recovery, now standing at 10.5p compared to a low earlier this year of around 2.5p.

Good to see that the makers of mobile phones regard handheld mobile gaming as a growth area, and they are incorporating such features, more & more:

Sept 3


One way or the other, more details on the gaming capabilities of the Sony Ericsson Aino will certainly be unveiled as soon as the phone comes to the market. And that might not happen in the far future, it seems, but as soon as October, at least when it comes to the UK market. As for the US users, there are no specific details on when the phone will come to them, though it shouldn't be too long either. Stay tuned to learn more details on the handset's availability and functionality.

Bull Mega thing is ord holders dont need to be inspired to say yes, it will be the pref holders who decided on the fate of Inspired Gaming Group not the ord holders.

Any offer would need to exceed £95,742,826 for the ord holders to get anything at all, then you need to remember that whoever is buying will need to take into account ingg's debt which @ 11 April 2009 was £66 million.(and growing)

Whilst i like Inspired for me the value is in the prefs not the ords.

Matt

[bull_mega] 04/9/2009 11:23

why not £3 and give discount of 1p take it or live it. Investor needs to be Inspired to say YES

[sul2] 04/9/2009 11:15

what does everyone think a suitable TO price would be considering this was trading at more than 300p 12 months ago?

i would hazard a random guess of 25p.

[dcomd99] 04/9/2009 09:07

INGC doing well.

[turborock] 04/9/2009 08:12

yup, lets hope to keep up the momentum

[orchestralis] 04/9/2009 08:07

Started well

[hoolers] 03/9/2009 16:24

Back in the spotlight tomorrow for sure

[hoolers] 03/9/2009 16:23

Lots of volume, nice rise. I'm dreaming of retirement on this share....

[mister md] 03/9/2009 12:19
