Posted at 06/3/2008 19:03 by walker10 Prime Focus has 1,500 people and operations out of facilities in India, London, New York, Winnipeg, Vancouver and Los Angeles. Warner MPI is based in Burbank. With this alliance, Prime Focus could very well be bidding for the next Harry Potter movie through its high-end UK subsidiary, VTR, which last month acquired Machine Effects, a boutique firm with experience on Warner films like Harry Potter. Prime Focus UK is reputed for its expertise in high-end digital work. "Outsourcing to India is one of the aspects but it is our facilities across the world which attracted Warner," said Prime Focus MD Namit Malhotra told ET. |
Posted at 24/1/2008 08:18 by walker10 More expansion we now buy Machine effects, and they have a very good project record:PFL has separately guaranteed to the Vendors that the Consideration Shares will have a closing bid price of not less than 100 pence per share after a period of 30 months from completion of the Acquisition has elapsed (the "Guarantee"). Should the closing bid price be less than 100 pence per share after this 30-month period, PFL will, without recourse to VTR, pay the difference to the Vendors. VTR will, in return for the Guarantee, and subject to obtaining the requisite shareholder approvals to allot, issue 505,050 new ordinary shares in VTR to PFL. |
Posted at 14/1/2008 13:49 by hosede Well fraid I'm out - not that I'm particularly averse to VTR but I don't think any shares (particularly small Co.s) are attractive at the moment. My small sell of 21k (over a few days) has pushed the share price down nearly 10p |
Posted at 03/1/2008 12:46 by walker10 Prime Focus India hitting all time highs,so the Indian market has taken the VTR results in their stride- perhaps they are hearing there are better things to come !!!! we hope. |
Posted at 21/12/2007 19:30 by hosede The problem is we look to be heading into the biggest depression for 35 maybe 75 years. Recovery programs may get swamped and survival may prove to be the problem - and for many Companies as well as VTR! |
Posted at 21/12/2007 10:04 by walker10 Am I disappointed not really or am I in denial, well lets have a look at where we have come from before they took over the operations the results looked like this:Year to 31.August 2006 Turnover was 17.7M with a loss of 2.05M with gearing at 48%. Its still early days in my book they have more than steaded the business and turned a dire situation into one of profit with lower gearing. It was always going to be 3 year plan and we are only 1/3 into that as the chairman states: "I regard the six months to 30 September 2007 as being the finalisation of phase 1 of the Group's return to profitability and growth". and "The creative talent and capabilities within the Prime Focus Group put VTR in a strong position to deliver sustained value to its shareholders." and the slightly cautious statement "Market conditions in September and October, traditionally the best trading months of the year, have been challenging. However, I believe VTR is well placed to exploit the opportunities created by a global film and television industry and will continue to grow". I am relaxed (I think) and look foward to when the US operations and outsourceing are fully operational. We will see ! |
Posted at 04/12/2007 08:12 by walker10 "We have been looking at Hollywood for a couple of years, but things got active in the last 10 months after our VTR business stabilised. Getting into Hollywood adds a fair amount of credibility. Frantic Films is working on fantastic 3D stereoscopic projects, which gives us a clear edge. In fact, both entities put us much ahead in terms of technology and creativity giving us not only a global footprint, cost advantage, infrastructure as well as quality, much ahead of others in the general space," said Prime Focus managing director Namit Malhotra, speaking to ET from Los Angeles. The criteria for the companies that Malhotra and company were looking for was a combination of scale and technology, with R&D capability. While Malhotra equates Post Logic with VTR, Frantic he says is big. "They are used to a business structure where they are running a pipeline between Vancouver, Winnipeg and LA, so they are used to sharing work and we wanted a company that would add our locations to their existing pipeline," adds Mr Malhotra. Both the American companies had reached a stage where things had gone slack and they were losing their competitive edge. Prime Focus added not only a cost advantage, a focus, as well as the strategic position of UK both of which combined to make a winning edge. "Post-production and VFX comprise our core business," adds Mr Malhotra. He says that they have seen great growth in their domestic business, and the weakening dollar was proving a boon for Bollywood, but there was much growth on the other side as well. |
Posted at 02/9/2007 08:11 by walker10 Arty, dont know re visit to Byotrol as we are going to sunny Italy in Sept, however will phone you.Sorry to hear that Karen is off the hooks and hope shes better today. Omerta thanks for that re tiny ACC group,they are not so dependant on VTR share price as when they sold Clear they opened a contract as follows: "The sale contract also involves a contract for difference, whereby VTR's parent company has guaranteed to the Vendors (including ourselves) that VTR's ordinary shares will have a mean closing bid price of not less than 60p per share over the three month period ending 24 months after the contract date. Should the mean closing bid price be less than 60p per share, the difference will be paid to the Vendors. Since the year end we have increased our holdings in VTR to some 3% of the equity of that company". Having said that they have since increased their stake which will not have this undertaking. So Prime Focus need the share price to be 0.60p by Oct 08. That shouldnt be too testing for them I hope. |
Posted at 12/7/2007 08:41 by walker10 To better understand the ambitions for VTR by Prime focus, I return to the statement in March 2006 when they first made their Strategic Investment it read as follows:Strategy Over the past five years the post production industry in the UK has altered as a result of globalisation, and the influx of new mediums of delivery, most significantly the internet, and new standards (high-definition) have taken effect. Whilst revenues and prices from traditional post-production remain under pressure the Board have identified several areas of business which potentially offer prospects to grow and deliver increased returns to shareholders. To date the Group has been unable to take full advantage of these opportunities. The investment by PFL will, in the Board's opinion, allow developments in the following areas: Film VTR already has digital cinema facilities. To date it has lacked the scale and investment to win a high volume of national and international film projects, especially in the area of visual effects. PFL currently works on approximately 60 major film releases per year in the fast-growing Asian and Indian film markets, and has already made headway into the international film market. The combination of VTR and PFL will potentially open up new business opportunities to VTR. Digital asset management We are seeing an increasing requirement from our clients for sophisticated digital asset management solutions. The scope of these services ranges from content management for archives through to brand asset management for multinationals. VTR already has a presence in this market, through TMR Digital, but has lacked the scale to compete in what is increasingly a global marketplace. PFL's infrastructure and its access to the Indian software market will help the growth of VTR's digital asset management business. New market sectors New market sectors are developing with the divergence of use of technology by consumers. Consequently, demands for services tailored to produce output for devices such as mobile phones is growing at a fast pace. However, the low margins available, to date, have made it difficult for VTR to operate profitably. With PFL's ability to deliver solutions at reduced costs, coupled with VTR's industry knowledge, the Board is optimistic that new revenue streams can be opened. Global The UK post-production industry has, with a few exceptions, remained a relatively domestic industry. Through PFL's existing operations and partners, VTR will acquire international access, allowing it to serve customers on a global, 24/7 basis. PFL's intention is to expand its presence internationally with openings already planned in Los Angeles, USA and Dubai in the near future. This will create an international network when combined with VTR's offices in London. I would say that with the 7 month results just reported that this is just beginning to work,and the journey will continue to gather momentum. Exciting times ahead for them. |
