I bought into these some time ago, and they haven't really moved much for a while after initial links with Music co, etc. However, this week has showed some interest, anyone know whats going on?

I was as surprised as you were but this might be it:

Rumours that Virtue Broadcasting (VTB.L) has been chosen to broadcast a new daily Lottery game.

rn

Is this good news for us VTB holders?

4.6M trades today..a new record ?

Perhaps, but will it finally move upwards.

I have my finger on the buy button to top up,but need some persuasion..

Director buys 10k at 3p
Directors give themselves options at 3p
New shares admitted today... price holds firm
company raised far more cash than they need for working capital.. so what do they have in mind ?
Yesterday you could buy within spread at 3.1, today its full ASK


If that doesnt persuade people, best look for another share instead.

Virtue are planning major aquisition to compete head on with Raw, short-term target, 3 months is 10p I'm told by my broker, I hold 70k. dyor

first movement now lets see

not a bad start!

did I persuade anyone then ? If so your up 37%, and owe me a pint !!

well i was in at about 3p a few weeks ago (-:

HT.

Was persuaded, managed to get in 30mins before they started to take off on friday.

Just regret selling a load at 1.25p the other month, oh well.

Will try to get more on Monday if mark up is not too severe..

keep watching

boroboys,

Is there something you'd like to share with us?

Have been looking at this and noted the huge increase in volume of late.. whats up boroboys?

What is happenning as I understand it is that money is now available to fund this next aquisition, which is obviously being kept under wraps until it is finalised. But this should push the group into the top 2 for it's services.

Again up today and my broker has told me to sit-tight for 10p by xmas.

If I can get anything more out of him I'll let you know.

FYI, he's also got me involved with Sefton resources, news imminent of their partnership deal, they've been to hell and back but looking good going forward, mind the large spread though!!

Also, people on this board I think will know about Pentagon Protection, 12p target and doing all the right things apparently, could go beyond 12p by xmass.

As always dyor, good luck.

Not big trades, but a good sign none the less I feel.

Skids, small chunks by some peoples standards, but none the less positive, my broker says 5-6p around the corner, we shall see! 10p is still the target for xmas as well.

can anybody tell me why ft.com txt alerts does not recognise VTB its driving me nuts.??????

As a guess, are they still using the old Epic TDO ???

UK:VTB works for me on FT.Com

VTB up again today (so far), is it going to be the 10p mark by xmas?

Hope so, compensate for my bad run on provalis

Virtue Broadcasting has put on 13% to 4.375p over three days. On 28 October it said M Neville, a director of the company, had acquired 122,535 shares in the company at a price of 4.05p per share, taking his holding to 452,883 shares or 0.313%. In addition it said K Ackerstaff, its newly appointed chief executive, had acquired 250,000 shares at a price of 3.875p per share, making up his entire holding in the stock (0.173%).

Anyone know why the share is moving, up 11% today so far? Nice to see it moving in the right direction but no news?

Apparently the Telegraph says vtb is in bid speculation! 5.5 on the bid! @ 9:16am

Up 27% now....

AdieH

Rumours that Virtue Broadcasting (VTB.L) has been chosen to broadcast a new daily Lottery game might have something to do with the rise today.

Skids
www.marques-bros.com

Thanks for the information chaps, nicely up on two trades at present, hope for more to come, nice tip from shares magazine a little while ago.

Looks like there has been profit taking all morning. Hopefully VTB will pull back before this afternoons close!

it is now bid 6p why it keep dropping?

Blimmey major profit taking going on with this one? Anyone got any more information?

Holding firm now and just starting to creep up Just brought in at 5.75 hope to make a bit on them today.

Seeing a bit of a rise today, 11% so far...

Does anyone have any info why these shares are moving up and down on daily basis, any concrete news anyone? Is it worth holding on or taking profit now..

Up 18% at present. I don't think the daily lottery contract has been agreed, however VTB are still in the running. And I read somewhere yesterday that the new lottery will be available before the end of 2003 on Internet/Mobile, and Interactive TV. So we need to watch for news I think. Personally I'm hanging on... but as always DYOR.

Thanks for that, 25% up today, hanging on in there, if they get the contract for lottery do we anticipate breaking 10p barrier? Would appreciate comments.

Its difficult to estimate the value of the contract, I certainly have now idea of the worth. But I imagine it would reach the 8/9p at least. Anything higher would be great...

Thanks skids, will hold in hope even 8 - 9p would be very nice....

but y they suddenly rise back? I keep on eye on this share for few days they rise and drop back frequency....

Yeah dont understand, must be someone building a holding, could be good news in
the long term.

The rise is all about the lottery bid (contract), the fall I guess is profit taking.

Down 12%. Lets hope some good news comes soon....

Yeah, seeing all (paper) profit gained, slowing disappearing

Does anyone know what this "good news" "bid" is all about and when it will become a reality ?....Profit reducing all the time. Is it time to drop out yet- before it disappears altogether ?

The "good news" is about a bid to win the contract to host the new daily lottery via the web. VTB are 1 of 2 companies in the running, but there is no date set for the annoucement of the winner (to my knowledge).

Looking like a good day for a change..

Now up 10% :-))

yeah, happy days are here again (we hope)..

large buy volumes going through, why is the bid price not moving.... Dont quite understand why the bid price aint moving? Can anyone help?

AdieH
you may find that large volumes are offen delayed up to a few hours before showing. so dont panic...
the future is about to get better 's

I have a small holding and up around 80% just thought I would get out..... Like
all things being abit greedy, should I get out and get back in if price drops?

Thats the $69,000,000 question, if we all knew that answer
honestly thou, its not really for me or anyone else to tell you what to do, but if it was my chose, i'd stay in, from now to january anything could happen...
hopefully the red days are behind us now, and blue days a head x'fingers.
good luck what ever you decide and that goes for every one :o)

The graph appears - to me - to be showing almost constant upside since the
August low which I THINK ended on 13 th August.At that point was announced
the acquistion of Viewpoint media of Australia.However,I only know that
about the company and that might be only a coincidence.
Best of luck with it.

Off for a sandwich and jog now to relax a bit.

Thanx for that, only looking for input i know the decision is mine but a nice
decision to make me thinks : - )

All these buys and yet the bid price still remaining at 6p, whats going on...

I suggest you follow every stage from Australian deal on 13 th August

seemed quiet for a while any news?

Unable to find any.However,I often find no news is good news

Things are definately afoot at VTB this is from the RNS for the new placing at 4p

"We have decided to take advantage of the recent improvements in the share
price to strengthen the Company's balance sheet. The fact that the business can
attract this additional investment is a testament to our improving situation',
commented Mike Neville, Chairman. 'Additionally, we are now seeing increasing
opportunities for vertical integration which will improve shareholder value."

it's the last sentence that caught my eye and follows on from previous comments by the chairman about consolidation.


dyor

It seems good but they only raised 1,000,000 approx Before expenses -- lawyers
fees 999,999

Oh well, that's it then ? for a while !?
Once again, another issue of equity, share price heading south !
Lots of promising noises but nothing really happening.

Any one got any good news to cheer me up ?

Or must I wait 'till Sat. morning when England win the Rugby World Cup ?

this is number two in todays percentage gainers list so far and vertical integration could be on the cards according to chairmans statements regarding placement.
cheered me up.

Thanks, cheered me up a little !
What is meant by V. Int. & when do you think it's likely to happen ?
Price has gone up today... down tomorrow ?

didn't you do economics at school?

This is where a company merges or takes over other companies in the same supply chain. So if a manufacturer takes over his supplier or the retailer of his goods/services, that's vertical integration.

so with VTB it wouldn't be with another streaming co but with either a supplier of content or a provider of web related services I guess.

I have a feeling if anything it will be a merger rather than an aquisition, you can't buy much with a million quid these days.

I have no idea who it could be though or what the price will do tomorrow.

Their Nov 19 statement is - in my opinion - Very Positive

Yep, lots of buys but still no news. I'm waiting to see what happens before buying back in.

Errrrrr, the news was pointed out by arc2002

Sorry, I was referring to the lottery bid news, which I personally feel is of bigger value.

Hi power50,
Sorry,but I cannot give an opinion as I only read the News on this share rgds aj

VTB needs more substantial revenue generating news to help hike the price.

ACQUISITION OF KAMERA HOLDINGS AB

Virtue Broadcasting Plc ('Virtue') announces that it has today entered into a
conditional purchase agreement to acquire Kamera Holdings AB ('Kamera') with
Kamera's convertible bond holders and shareholders representing 70 per cent. of
the issued share capital. Kamera is a Swedish based company traded on the
HQ-Tech market.

As announced on 3 October 2003 Virtue has been reviewing the IP based corporate
communications sector for value enhancing consolidation opportunities, and is
delighted to have reached agreement with a majority of the Kamera shareholders.
Kamera provides webcasting and content distribution services to large
corporations and professional institutions, and is a market leader in the
Nordics. Kamera's customers include the Stockholm Stock Exchange, Nokia,
AstraZeneca and Pharmacia.

Kamera reported in its rights issue prospectus dated 4 November 2003 that it had
made unaudited revenues of 1.3 million and loss after taxation of 0.5 million
in the 8 month period to 31 August 2003. The prospectus highlighted that Kamera
had net liabilities of 0.1 million as at 31 August 2003 which included 48,000
of cash. The audited accounts of Kamera for the 12 months to 31 December 2002
show revenues of 1.5 million, a loss after taxation excluding goodwill
impairment and amortisation of 1.3 million and net assets of 0.4 million.

Following this announcement Virtue will shortly file in Sweden a prospectus with
the Finansinspektionen, the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, to make a
public offer to purchase the entire issued share capital of Kamera on terms
outlined below. The purchase is conditional upon receiving more than 90 per
cent. acceptances from the Kamera shareholders and both the satisfactory uptake
by its shareholders of between 420,000 to 600,000 in the outstanding rights
issue (and for which the 70 per cent. of shareholders referred to above have
undertaken to subscribe 420,000) and conversion of 80,000 of convertible debt
in to shares prior to the completion date.

In consideration of the entire share capital of Kamera, Virtue will issue
between 40,760,000 and 43,796,389 new ordinary 0.1 pence shares, depending on
the uptake of Kamera's outstanding rights issue plus a total of 100,000 cash
consideration. This represents approximately 19.2 to 20.3 per cent. of the
enlarged share capital of the new group. Based on the closing mid-market price
of Virtue shares on 25 November 2003 this values Kamera at 2.5 million to 2.7
million. The completion date is expected to be on or before 9 January 2004 and
application for new shares to be admitted to AIM is expected to be five days
after completion. A further announcement will be made at that time.

Fredrik Ramberg, Chairman of Kamera, commented, 'the purchase of Kamera by
Virtue presents a major step in the consolidation of the webcasting market in
Europe and will give the new group access to broader markets as well as
technical platforms for their respective digital communications businesses'.

'The Kamera business has excellent people and customers and were innovators in
the early webcasting market', said Mike Neville, Chairman of Virtue, 'this
acquisition increases the company's footprint to the Nordic market which is one
of the most mature in Europe. The extended customer base, which is second to
none, will add valuable revenue streams and associated margins. This transaction
is an integral part of the business transformation process that we are currently
undergoing, where our intention is to offer valued added IP based communications
services to corporate customers and professional institutions across Europe.
This strategy will be leveraged from our current core operational
infrastructure, and provide enhanced margins and longevity of revenues over the
medium term. Finally, and very importantly, our customers will be able to access
integrated services across a European footprint, which should reflect
significant value.'


ENDS

Do we see this as good news, positive move on price maybe?

7 paragraphs of the usual P.R.nonsense written by the marketing gurus.

Any good trend upwards this week after the 27th novembers good news.

I hate to say it but it looks to me as though VTB has lost confidence. I'd expect the price to continue down and settle above 4p.

Three directors puchase almost 300,000 see RNS

Looks like some directors have just topped up!

They bought @

5.25
5.00
4.9

I had my doubts when three directors all bought in on same day. Smacks a bit of desperation to keep the price up. If it slides to far it could put the Kamera deal in jepoardy.
On the otherhand they could just be very shrewd knowing this is going somewhere.

still holding (at a loss)
will top up if dips further, funds permitting (if PXC doesn't go below 8p..)

Share price going down all the time.. I should have sold at the top (6.5 to 7p.) But.... my broker said at the time..hold on to these as we haven't seen the best price yet ? (about 10p)... I think I should've followed my own gut feelings on this one... However, not worth selling now so... I'll keep looking on the bright side and hope they come good again over the next few weeks/months. Keep smiling ! :-)

I'm also in PXC,ITU,IAL,WGG,WGT,ZIM,BLLM,ARC,NWD,SOP,EVS, anyone else in any of these ?... I'm hoping that they'll all come good at the same time and I can retire ! some hope !)

I'm in PXC (good long termer, slow but steady upward progress). Also in on ZOO and SPS (could got sky high). I sold VTB at 6.25 because they seem to just float along rather than push upward. The coming issue will probably keep the price close to 4.5p IMHO. Only after the issue will it likely go to newer ground.

Looks like the bottom may have been reached yesterday at 4.5p. It's up 5% again today so far (although when I look on selftrade who calculate rises against the bid price it's up 10% today)

Broker research (from Brewin) to come out soon and rumours on another BB of coverage in Investors Chronicle this Friday. (so now that's a rumour of a rumour!) dyor

up 11.9% today

Is an RNS imminent, I mean imminent as in today? Just something I read on another b&b, might be hype, I don't know

For the un-initiated...(Like me !) What's an RNS ? - thanks.

If it's good & it happens today & it has a big positive impact on the SP, then I'm all for it !! Bring it on ! :)

Hi all. Just bought back at 5.5. I feel this has a future. All is in place.

New adquisitions in Europe will defo provide more income source and exposure into Europe.

Cost cutting climate still remains a priority for all cos. So VTB is well placed to take advantage.

Good portfolio of clients = credibility.

Directors purchased shares in the company = faith in the company.

I feel the next set of company results will do nicely.

By looking at the charts I think we are in for another big movement in the next 2 weeks, hopefully upwards.

also loads of derampers have appeared over on advfn always a good sign imho.

News of Kamera deal due tomorrow, hopefully a trading update will accompany it.

Rumours of an IC tip are also circulating, if true watch for late deals before close today..

AGM TV launched in 18m merger

Robert Colvile
Sunday July 25, 2004
The Observer

Bored with Big Brother, soaps, pornography or obscure sports? There is an alternative - televised annual general meetings.
Two British communications companies with many blue-chip firms as their clients will announce a merger tomorrow. Virtue Broadcasting will acquire World TV (valued at 18.1 million) in a reverse takeover.

World produces internal TV content for clients, while Virtue specialises in internet broadcasting technology. They hope to integrate their technology and client bases and expand their corporate business - in particular, by broadcasting AGMs.

Neither began in the corporate sector. In 1991, World was set up to provide internal content for non-governmental organisations such as Greenpeace. It now works for clients including BP, Nestland Reuters, as well as the Foreign Office, producing English-language content for expatriates in Iraq.

Virtue first attracted attention developing web services for pop sensations the Cheeky Girls. Their client list is now slightly more respectable - it includes Microsoft, British American Tobacco and UBS.

Virtue's finance director James Ormondroyd said he anticipated 'great commercial and technological synergies', and predicted continued expansion across Europe.
