Soon in my opinion. Subs clock still ticking along nicely. Won,t be long before it hits 40 mil. For real this time.I,m sure Zoo will want trumpet hitting 40 so quickly even with the customer delays.

doubt if situation with disney has changed, zoo probably just told to remove all logos from their site. would be interesting as to why though, after years of zoo being able to use their logo

[donnydave] 28/1/2015 09:43

I,ve sent zoo an email asking them if they could clarify their current situation with Disney.I,ll let people know if i get any responce.Good news about apple selling so many iPhones though I.M.H.O.

The article above is about IBM cutting jobs so they can focus on CLOUDCOMPUTING if anyone wants to read it.

Now those last two or three posts are VERY interesting...
I contacted ZOO & was approached to be a translator, sent a test etc...
Unfortunately, there's been so much on my plate I've not had time to get into it! Sounds like a lot of fudge, but there are currently three high capital value once-in-a-lifetime deals that I just mustn't get wrong.

So they're slow payers?
& the ticker does not equate to automatic cash receipts?
Maybe there's a degree of corelation between the two?
I'll follow up their approach when the ink is dry elsewhere & let you know how it happens. I guess the essential part is not to depend on it for essential cashflow - that's why I have three unrelated lines of business!
I can understand them not throwing cash around; just look at directors' loans...

Incidentally, in my relatively direct & repeated experience, tho' now a while ago,
job sites/newspapers/advert carriers set themselves up as upholders of principles, & as judge & jury at the same time.
I remember that well, & all the sanctimoniousness that went with it.

Er ... no they don't. Major plc companies have the clout to impose extended invoice settlement periods ... 60 day, even 90 day. That's why zoo are in this position. They are not a major plc company. Zoo rely on their subcontractors to do their work. Shaft their s/c, gain a reputation for being poor / non-payers (as it appears they are succeeding in doing), and they soon won't have any people to do their work for them. Simples.

And I bet that the larger corporations would also want to distance themselves from a company that has a reputation for non payment of the people who are ultimately carrying out its work for them.

From the company on 13th January 2015' "The recent significant uplift in the ticker is due to the ingest of a large volume of subtitles for a customer that wishes to centralise storage and management of data in ZOOsubs. In cases such as this we will not earn revenue immediately, but the downstream revenue earning potential is significant as the customer orders subtitles in future to monetise their content over different platforms."

Therefore, the run rate of zoo subs although interesting, is not as relevant as the absolute total in my view. It is the absolute total that gives an insight into the current and future revenue earning potential of the database. If we liken it to a telecoms company, and the number of customers they have, the earning potential of the company increases as they add new customers (or subtitles in the case of zoo). Zoo subs has nearly 40 million subtitles stored and the number is increasing daily and weekly, albeit at a varying velocity on a daily / weekly basis, however the trend is up. Surely this is the most important aspect here. The more zoo subs that are stored, the more there is to monetise at a recurring rate, into the future, according to the company. E.g., annual management charge, storage charge, digital format conversion charge, subtitle conversion charge, translation charge, etc.

I expected money to be tight at the company especially during rapid growth and who could blame a company for being slow at paying subcontractors (in this case translators) in order to help manage cash flow. All major plc companies do it, do they not? Good cash husbandry?

Disappointed it's taken the same time for this ten million as the last ie 3 months!

[donnydave] 26/1/2015 04:48

P.s. Ticker nearly at 39 mil. Now. Wont bee long now I.M.H.O.

[donnydave] 26/1/2015 04:20

Totaly agree.wonder what Zookeeper thinks he hasn,t posted much for a while. Still keeping my eye on Zoo.

[philjeans] 20/1/2015 13:56

Zoo Digital Group PLC

20 January 2015

ZOO DIGITAL GROUP PLC

("ZOO" or "the Company")

Grant of options to directors

ZOO, the provider of cloud-based media production software and services to global creative organisations, announces the following concerning the granting of options.

On 20 January 2015, a total of 710,000 new options over ordinary shares in the Company of 15p each ("Options" and "Ordinary Shares") were granted to selected employees of the Company, including the issue of 250,000 Options to each of Helen Gilder and Gordon Doran (being directors of the Company).

The Options are exercisable at 15p per share and will vest as follows: 40% on the first anniversary of issuance, 30% on the second anniversary, and vest fully on the third anniversary of issuance. All options will lapse on the tenth anniversary of issuance.

Following the granting of the Options, the interests of the relevant directors in Options are as set out below:

No. of Options No. of Options Resultant interest
previously held granted in Options
-------------- ----------------- --------------- -------------------
Helen Gilder 700,000 250,000 950,000
Gordon Doran 700,000 250,000 950,000

$$$$$$$$$$$$

These guys are no mugs - getting their options topped up whilst the share price is still on it's back!

Great time to BUY - the directors don't benefit until the share price is at least 15P

[zooskeeper] 19/1/2015 22:58

Not so much a pump & dump.... just the anticipation of the turnaround but as stated so many false dawns. If the ticker is right once a day why have we continually gone backwards for the last several days?? Frustrations continue!!

Anyone for a ZOO p&d...

Looks like I was spot on here.!!!!

Compare last months say BP share graph to Last months Zoo share graph.As far as BP is concerned you shouldn,t try to catch a falling knife. On the other hand Zoo,s share graph shows a steady incline over the past month.

If people check on zoo,s web site it states that 18% of the subtitles out of the 30 million delivered so far were for i.tunes.

[donnydave] 14/1/2015 20:26

P.s. All this is only indicative i know but bodes well I.M.H.O.

[donnydave] 14/1/2015 19:01

You only need to look at this months share graph to see the current direction of this share. Just checked zoo,s website its currently showing price at9p.
