Posted at 21/7/2015 22:41 by super_sub Before today, or at least before the annual results on 10-Jul, all SPK shareholders would have been expecting cash (or maybe cash +IMO shares) to be returned to them in the near future at somewhere close to NAV, which is now approx 5.8p."The Company recognises that some Shareholders may not want to continue as investors as the Company pursues its New Investing Policy", so it would have been nice if they'd have offered those "loyal and supportive Shareholders" the cash exit they were expecting, rather than an opportunity to invest in new shares at a 10% discount to yesterday's share price (which itself rose 25% on that day as a result of that timely IC tip)! I do agree that the 1:200 consolidation is a bit strange. A lot of companies tend to split their shares when they reach £10. |
Posted at 22/8/2013 07:19 by capt bligh Overwhelming market leadership probably counts for something... But I am pretty much in the dark as to it's value.....read back in the thread a peer has sold for a huge number.Mendeley.com Alexa global rank 35,528 Academia.edu ditto 2505 This is Richard Price October 31 2012: sounds pretty wishy washy to me I understand you've raised about seven million dollars from investors so far, but I suppose that won't last forever (and that they're expecting a return for their investment...). What is the company's business model? The goal is to provide trending research data to R&D institutions that can improve the quality of their decisions by 10-20%. The kind of algorithm that R&D companies are looking for is a 'trending papers' algorithm, analogous to Twitter's trending topics algorithm. A trending papers algorithm would tell an R&D company which are the most impactful papers in a given research area in the last 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or any time period. Historically it's been very difficult to get this kind of data. Scientists have printed papers out, and read them in their labs in un-trackable ways. As scientific activity is moving online, it's becoming easier to track which papers are getting more attention from the top scientists. There is also an opportunity to make a large economic impact. Around $1 trillion a year is spent on R&D globally: about $200 billion in the academic sector, and about $800 billion in the private sector (pharmaceutical companies, and other R&D companies). |
Posted at 21/8/2013 14:05 by jlo10 Sorry to bore everyone with more minutiaeLOS ANGELES - OpenX Technologies, Inc. (OpenX), a global leader in digital and mobile advertising technology, today announced it has been ranked number 224 by Inc. magazine (Inc.) on the annual Inc. 500 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The annual Inc. list features privately held companies that have demonstrated strong growth in recent years and are considered the best run, most innovative and most inspiring. The full list was published today on Inc.com and in the September issue of the publication's print edition. "For 32 years, Inc. has welcomed the fastest-growing companies in America into a very exclusive club," commented Eric Schurenberg, editor in chief, Inc. "Make no mistake: The club is more exclusive this year than ever in its history." "We are honored to receive this significant recognition as we aim to fulfill our vision of unleashing the full economic potential of digital media companies," said Tim Cadogan, chief executive officer, OpenX. "The Inc. 500 list identifies America's exceptional private companies and OpenX's inclusion is confirmation of our strong growth and future potential. We're thrilled with the progress we've made building one of the world's most comprehensive ad revenue platforms, the success and value we have provided to our customers globally and, most of all, the massive opportunities that lie ahead." OpenX's products enable digital media companies to maximize their ad revenue on any digitally connected screen. The Company has grown very rapidly achieving $154 million in revenue last year. In February 2013, the Company closed its Series E funding round led by Samsung Venture Investment Corporation, which was joined as a new investor by Dentsu Inc. digital subsidiary cyber communications, inc. With its latest round, OpenX has now raised more than $75 million from the venture arm of the world's largest mobile device and electronics manufacturer (Samsung Venture Investment Corporation), the venture arm of one of the world's leading Enterprise software manufacturers (SAP Ventures), and leading U.S. and European venture capital firms, including Accel Partners and Index Ventures. A key driver of OpenX's growth has been the global adoption of its digital monetization platform, which combines a pioneering Real-Time Bidding (RTB) exchange and a Supply Side Platform. OpenX was one of the first proponents of RTB and is now one of its leading providers: OpenX Ad Exchange now processes more than one million bids per second at peak and 96 percent of the nation's leading advertisers participate in the marketplace. Moving forward, OpenX plans to focus on additional M&A activity, international expansion and broadening adoption of its digital revenue platform. Read more here: hxxp://www.heraldonl |
Posted at 02/7/2013 08:52 by philjeans Because there are so few buyers.Simple as that. Investors can't see an exciting story - but the latent worth is there, have no doubt. And now would be a very good time to load up IMHO. But DYOT. |
Posted at 01/7/2013 12:34 by pog1234 Thanks smarm, I just had a look at the no of companies, 10, in which SPK currently is an investor and, considering the speed at which they have divested other holdings, I did not find it realistic that they would be able to sell all of them in just one year.... at least not without a big firesale.Perhaps my thinking is wrong but that was just my initial thought. I am just trying to find an angle where I can earn some money :) . And a company that has stated that it will unwind its business within a year is not very usual and therefore I think it is very hard to accurately value the company. This might open up for some very good opportunities if you can spot an under/overvaluation, hence my question. Looking at the the different holdings I have difficulties to assess the value of each of them. A few are most likely valuable, but others are perhaps less valuable or impossible to sell (without a hefty discount). Take gamblingcompliance, a company with (according to their web site) 30 staff, catering the global gambling industry. They have been around since 2007 and are not profitable?, they say the company is cash flow positive, is growing etc but no details have been provided. I have some inisght into the gambling industry and there are many companies that provide similar services as gamblingcompliance at a much lower price. I can´t see how they will make any serious money out of that business. Perhaps I am wrong, I would be very interested to hear any opposing thoughts. |

Posted at 07/6/2013 10:14 by azalea S.THOMPSON 9/5 @ 11p, there should be more good news in 6 weeks when SPK reports its FY results. The company board is "actively pursuing all avenues for the realisation of the remaining investments; trade sale,flotation or secondary and we are hopeful of further substantial realisations during 2013"That's worth noting because,adjust for the previous cash return and SPK has a pro-forma NAV of 13.66p at the end of September 2012. Since the the markets have been buoyant and some of its companies have been tapping investors for funding which led to upgrades in the carrying value of the holdings in the investee companies. Scope for valuation uplifts The carrying value of OpenX has doubled from £2.5m to £5m. Mind Candy's(MC) revenues were up 125% and profits trebled over the previous year.However, SPK investment in MC is still only valued in its accounts at £3.1M. Notonthehighstreet.c Hold for the financial results and trading update. |
