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.

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.

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

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 !

Sound good to me although the share price does not YET reflect it:

The additional Nitris system is not only a response to client demand for additional capacity but also enables us to cater for the large volume of high definition post production that now goes through the facility.


blue's online department has recently worked on a variety of high profile projects such as The Beckoning Silence for Darlow Smithson, Body Hell for North One, Suburban Shootout for Feelgood Fiction, and Daphne for BBC Arts.

Slightly old artical I know but gives you an insight,the share price continues to drift lower in London as the share price in India continues to drift higher,I will (maybe foolishly) will continue to back these boys!!!:



We will soon know the progress as results cannot be far off from being reported.

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.

I post an old artical re the IPO way back in May 2006 but it contains some intresting fact like the quote re VTR:

"Hence, much depends on the ability of PF to quickly turnaround VTR Plc and benefit from synergy in operations, which it believes to be immense".

IMMENSE I like it.



I will add Prime Focus share price is now 840 ish.

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.
