Looks like Expansys is selling Jessops products? Will Jessops stores be selling other expansys electronic products also? I see the Expansys website has cameras and lenses for sale also

Wonder if an official RNS will come from Expansys? Have they been contracted to run the online business of Jessops?

Tempted to top up. Can this go lower? MC is only £6.3m. Last yr rev was over 100m

"strategic review"...means the ridiculously overvalued intangibles will be impaired

Jones will pick over the entrails

Worst. Company. Ever.

Peter Jones venture paid £1.4m for Jessops



Jessops had a 'growing online business' at the time it went under, according to PwC



Mr Jones said: "I own 43pc of Expansys and I don't spend much of my time looking at that. It's a business with real opportunity and I want to spend more time on it."

no, i'm insinuating that it will delist first and he'll buy what is left

i'm saying this is not worth more than 0.5p at present after H1 results

forecasts can be missed again

You must work for Mr Jones if you are insinuating he could take this private for 0.5p!

EPS forecasts of 0.2p by Singer x 10 = 2p per share but probably come in at 0.1 to 0.15 so 1 to 1.5p per share

Anyone still following XPS? I sold out today. After some reflection after the 1/2 yearly report (and share price watching!), I don't see this turning around for at least a couple of years.

Sounds like Mr Jones paid very little for Jessops!







A statement of affairs from Jessops' directors at the weekend showed the firm had debts of £81.4m. The report estimates that creditors face a major shortfall from the administration, with only £3.4m likely to be raised for the payout pot from asset sales

anyone know how many shares are in issue please - can't see this in the investors section of their website?

[lbo] 19/2/2013 13:59

I wonder will Jessops online will be giving some distribution or services contract to Expansys as Peter owns Jessop himself and owns just under 42% of Expansys?

[knigel] 15/2/2013 12:57

Very keen and probably will be in here next week GL

[comedy] 15/2/2013 11:08

knigel you in?

[comedy] 15/2/2013 10:57

time to get some?

Masurenguy thats because he sold most of the Phones international group divisions! He could now go and buy out the rest of Expansys that he does not own for less then £6m and thus buy back DSNS and PJ media for much less then he sold them for!





Peter Jones, the telecoms entrepreneur, is creating a £100m war chest to take advantage of a potential second credit crunch.

The Dragons' Den panellist yesterday said he had sold Wireless Logic for £38m to its management and private equity firm ECI Partners and was looking to offload his £178m turnover mobile distribution business Data Select.

The moves follows the acquisition last July of his mobile SIM card reseller DSNS and IT service firm PJ Media to AIM-listed Expansys for £49m in cash and shares.


Mr Jones said: "I own 43pc of Expansys and I don't spend much of my time looking at that. It's a business with real opportunity and I want to spend more time on it."

Dragon's puff is a load of hot air

Modest is not a word Diary would use to describe Dragons' Den fire-breather and Jessops saviour Peter Jones.

Hi,

Interesting, thanks someuwin.

Perhaps he will put Jessops brand & stock into Expansys? Seems a natural fit.
Not sure that the brand is really worth anything though, other than as a redirection page on the web to bring people to Expansys.

PP.
