CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to present the interim results for the six months ended 30 June
2004.
As previously announced, the Group has changed its financial year end from 30
June to 31 December and therefore the following results incorporate a second set
of interim results for the six month period ended 30 June which, together with
the interims to 31 December 2003 previously announced, make up the results for
the 12 months ended 30 June 2004.
The results reflect the positive impact from the restructuring following the
bank debt to equity swap and the cancellation of the deferred shares and share
premium account which was concluded at the start of the year.
The results for the six months ended 30 June 2004 demonstrate the progress we
are making in returning the group to profitability. The results are in line
with my expectation as outlined in the previous interim statement on 4 March
2004. Compared with the same period last year the loss on ordinary activities
before exceptional items and amortisation has been reduced from #3,887,385 to
#640,554.
Financial Results - Overview
Turnover for the continuing businesses for the twelve months ended 30 June 2004
was #7,935,486 (2003: #8,704,133). The decline is due to withdrawal from loss
making contracts and the deferment of a major title, which will now fall into
the current period, at Profile Pursuit Inc (PPI).
It is pleasing to report that gross margins from continuing activities for the
six months to 30 June have continued to improve to 16.7%. This compares with a
gross margin of 13.1% for the previous six-month period and 15.4% for the 12
months to 30 June 2004.
We have continued to strive to bring the Group's operating base to an
appropriate and sustainable level. Consequently ongoing administrative expenses
have fallen to #1,130,463, a reduction of some 37% over the previous six-month
period. .
Losses from continuing operations before interest, depreciation and amortisation
of goodwill were #287,902 a reduction of 79% from the previous six-month period.
During the period additional charges relating to the disposal of Marketlink and
Woodgate, the Group's fulfilment businesses, were identified and have reduced
the previously reported gain by #484,506 to #1,242,598. This adjustment has led
to the restatement of the results to 31 December 2003 by the equivalent amount,
increasing the loss for that period to #2,409,767.
The loss attributable to shareholders for the six months ended 30 June 2004
including discontinued items was #1,083,952, compared to #2,409,767 in the
previous period.
During the period Commonwealth Business Publications ceased to trade and is
shown as a discontinued operation together with the fulfilment division.
Financial Results - By Division
Publishing - Custom and Contract
This division consists of the Profile Pursuit companies, which operate in the UK
and US. Revenue is generated mainly from the sale of advertising space in
controlled circulation publications.
During the six months under review the UK turnover improved by #732,000 as a
result of introducing new and more regular titles. Revenue, however, decreased
in the US by #2.04 million due primarily to a deferment of one title into the
following accounting period in comparison to the equivalent period last year.
Despite the reduction in revenue the US division produced a profit on ordinary
activities for the period.
Our UK division has recently been appointed to publish a quarterly magazine on
behalf of the National Bingo Game Association (NBGA) as from November. The
magazine will be distributed to one million players via the NBGA member clubs
and is expected to make a significant contribution to earnings next year.
Publishing - Other
The remainder of the Group's publishing activities comprises Hazleton and
ProgrammeMaster.
The operations of Hazelton and ProgrammeMaster have been merged successfully and
now trade under our subsidiary Profile Sports Media Limited (PSM). Since this
restructuring, which was completed at the start of the year, both operations
have achieved a significant improvement in their trading performance despite
difficult advertising markets. The Football League remains an important
customer and we retain contracts to publish the official Matchday Programmes for
their showcase finals. In addition PSM has recently won the contract to produce
the official Matchday Programme for the Welsh Rugby Union. The company is also
pleased to announce that it also recently won an important publishing contract
to produce the Matchday Programme, monthly magazine, yearbook and junior
members' magazine for Chelsea Football Club. The benefit of these contracts
will be reflected in the current period.
Current Trading
As outlined in my previous interim statement it appears the media sector is
showing gradual signs of recovery. Advertising budgets are cautiously improving
which is demonstrated by #4.03 million of forward contracted advertising orders
for publications due to be published after 1 July 2004 being some 34% higher
than at the equivalent date last year. The Group remains committed to
maintaining tight cost controls and seeks to introduce new titles and
initiatives when appropriate. With the effect of the introduction of the new
contracts and the continuing improvement of revenues I look forward to reporting
further improvement at the year end which will be for the 18 month period ending
31 December 2004.
I would like to thank shareholders for their continued support. Our employees
have continued to demonstrate their commitment throughout a difficult period.

Neutral (Short term) - Jan 5, 2004
Has fallen 70% since the peak on 21 Oct 2003 at 4.10. Has broken through the ceiling of a falling trend channel. This indicates a slower falling rate initially, or the start of a more horizontal development. The stock is approaching the support at p 1.15, which may give a positive reaction. The poor liquidity of the stock (traded 95% of the days, mean 0.52 mill per day) may weaken the analysis.

This indicates a slower rising rate at first, or the start of a more horizontal development. The stock is approaching the support at p 1.14, which may give a positive reaction. Poor liquidity (traded 95% of the days, mean 0.52 mill per day) weakens the analysis.

A further positive development is indicated, and there is support against the floor of the trend channel. The stock has support at p 0.70 and resistance at p 4.00. Poor liquidity (traded 95% of the days, mean 0.52 mill per day) weakens the analysis.

Hello Sue.... Sounds it can go up 100% Again like in WHOG it is a smash, grab and run.... Will keep an eye on this. Do u have any views on Petrel Resources (PET). I m following this one and I thin will rocket up. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks

I will do some research and let you know later on in the week about PET if that is fine.
I think the price of PMD could recover to the 3-4 pence levels, where it was before the fundraising news was announced. It has been carried out now and judging by the heavy buying in the last few days the price could move upwards quite heavily.

Hi Sue! Here you are!
Take care on this one. I owned it 3years ago and it seemed like a one way bet.
A trading upside profit could be big, but there are many uncertainties. I dont like the fact that the placing was only 30% taken up. Will this affect the Chairmans hopes of improvements after "completion" of phase 2 of the restructuring. Can phase 2 be a success at only 30% take up?
No doubt ad spending will increase in a recovery, but a market cap of 3mio & losses of around 14mio, that can't be sustained.
Listen, I am not p*ssing on anyone's chips here, but I genuinely dont want you to risk to much of those juicy profits you made on CMSWebview! (PS I think it may be about to go again?)

You could win big on this one Sue. The completion of balance sheet restructuring will be the key.
If the 30% take up of the offer is accompanied by positive noises from the bankers, then there could be significant upside.

Their website is pretty cool.
They still own several good titles which they had when I last owned the stock. These are all good revenue producers.
Whilst the losses do scare me a bit, one thing I would be very positive about is that turnover figure. You would imagine when ad spend recovers, that a company turning over 24mio, should be able to move back into profit.
24mio t/o compared to a market cap of ~4mio?????

I have really enjoyed my days and now I'm in final year hoping to achieve a good degree.

222,361 is a buy at 2 pence, delayed, appeared in sell column.
Price 2-2.1 pence now, should see some delayed buys at 2.1 pence come through later on.

Yes it is very much so today, more delayed trades yet to come through. Should reach estimated target of 10 million this morning. After which I think we could be looking at price rise to 3-4 pence tomorrow.

Did you check out the website Sue?
Where do you see resistance levels on the upside?
10day & 50day looking like a golden cross. A 50 day 200day cross should be completed in the next few days. That would be an exceptionally positive trading pattern.
Also high volume drives high volume. Likely to be momentum traders pushing up volume over next few days.
SueHelen
- 07 Jan 2004 15:45
- 83 of 483
Major resistance level is at 4 pence otherwise nothing much in terms of resistance before. Apart from small resistance at 2.58 pence. So 4 pence is reachable.
Will post Investtech details tonight (will know for sure the resistance points).
In addition, I will have a look at the website tonight.
SueHelen
- 07 Jan 2004 15:46
- 84 of 483
I'm quite sure that 4 pence is the major resistance point. The rise in late October got up to a mid-price of 4 pence. It was a quick and sharp rise so hardly any resistance points between 2-4 pence.

Press comment would be helpful. As I said before that turnover in excess of 20million, should provide scope for profits as margins improve going forward.
Rather than companies cancelling ad spend, an economic recovery generally, should increase investment in ad spend.
A current market cap of ~4million is surely too cheap.

A note from previous trading statement,
"Current Trading and Prospects
The publishing division has emerged from the last two years as a leaner and more
focused business. As the media sector has improved both in the UK and the US,
the Company's publishing division has witnessed an increase in revenues.
The UK publishing division has in the first five months of the 2004 financial
year already sold more advertising space than in the whole of the 2003 financial
year.
An effective cost reduction process has now been implemented. The Directors now
look forward to a healthier future for the Group. The Directors consider that
the Group will be cash flow positive for the 12 month period to 31 December
2004."

Neutral (Long term) - Jan 7, 2004
Has fallen 96% since the peak on 15 Jan 2001 at 51.50. Shows a strong development within a rising trend channel. A further positive development is indicated, and there is support against the floor of the trend channel. The stock has support at p 0.70 and resistance at p 4.00. Poor liquidity (traded 100% of the days, mean 1.77 mill per day) weakens the analysis.

SueHelen

Hi Graeme, Good decision.
As I gather since yesterday WINS on Level 2 have been accumalating stock and have been very aggressive. Reading between the lines WINS are very keen to obtain stock, they have been pushing this up for a couple of days, and have been buying stock off other MMs. Directors also have options on 7% of the company yesterday at 1.38p, when they could of taken the offer up. So you have to ask yourself a question, why did they do that, and why are WINS keen for stock. Do the directors know something, and are one of WINS clients going to make a bid for PMD, this is how WINS could be in the know...........
SueHelen
- 08 Jan 2004 13:56
- 114 of 483
In addition, Whats also interesting is that WINS pushed the price up all day yesterday, and then after the bell we get an RNS, WINS are not the house broker, so where are they getting their information from ?
Interesting times ahead.

Hi Sue, I bought in at 2.08 this morning after having watched all day yesterday - regreting not getting in sooner. Price hasn't moved today as you thought it might. Would you still expect to see big price moves in the near future?
SueHelen
- 08 Jan 2004 17:04
- 117 of 483
Hi there, Yes I would very much think so. Look at my earlier posts today and yesterday. All the indicators are becoming positive now and there is even talk of a takeover now. Price was widened today hence it didn't rise after the initial rise this morning probably because WINS(one of the market makers) have been buying stock very heavily in the last two days. And if they kept the spread tight again that would have generated interest from more retail investors. Hence, they may be buying more stock again at these levels.
In the short term, I would expect the price to get past 3 pence and testing the resistance level at 4 pence.
Treeshaking with the bid price happened yesterday many times too so nothing to worry about their. Look at the offer price which stayed firm and was firm all day yesterday despite the bid price being lowered now and then. And then shooting back up.
Will post Investtech details tonight.

This is an excellent stock for longer term prospects as in 2004 advertising spending should be increasing and their trading in US should improve too. But we should get a clear and better picture in March when their next set of results are out.
In the meantime, the company could be taken over by then.

Volume looks very strong today again, buys still outnumbering sells.
Short term chart very positive. Volume high, 10day moving average moving up through 50 day which has turned up. Both should cross 200day in next few days, which itself is turning upwards.
Remember these technical points follow the fundamental position of the company. Debt reduced, non core assets sold off, cost cutting programme complete & working capital secured.
More sales completed in first 5 months of this financial year than ALL of last.

From Investtech:
Neutral (Medium term) - Jan 8, 2004
Has fallen 62% since the peak on 19 Jun 2002 at 4.75. Has broken through the floor of a rising trend channel. This indicates a slower rising rate at first, or the start of a more horizontal development. The stock has support at p 1.14. Poor liquidity (traded 100% of the days, mean 2.37 mill per day) weakens the analysis.
SueHelen

MACD signals are rising too along with all the other indicators which is very good. MACD could move into positive territory tomorrow.
Hope the bid price gets corrected to around 2 pence at the open. If so, and the spread stays tight then volume should be even higher than today and we could get a wonderful rise tomorrow.
GoodNight all.

Sue,
I took this (day trading) tue thru thur and am now out.
On both days trades were being delayed and mis-reported (fairly classic MM). One of my tests is against NMS - all of which failed every time when asking for 5K+ during the time I held (so we'll have to agree to disagree on that one). One of my indicators to close out was the acceptance of a 10K test buy yesterday am (about 08:45).
I may be wrong of course and will keep an eye for further opportunities.
All the best Sue.

Wide spread may discourage sellers. It would certainly encourage me to hold!
The fundamental picture of increasing sales and decreasing losses gives real recovery hope.
This is another stock which has cut costs, put its house in order and is ready to rumble. Again any news of contract wins in an improving market will have a huge impact on this price.

what you say is undoubtedly true, but for the moment this share has been ramped, risen, the profit taken and the MM's have trapped as many holders as they can. Sue Helen can be found on other threads, she won't be back here !! IMO

I would say you're right chrismeakin1. I got out with a nice profit when things began to look iffy. I still feel I should say thanks to Sue Helen for all her efforts.

I still have my interests in here as I stated on Friday afternoon but I do have interests in other stocks which have scope for plenty of upside in the short term.

One year linear trend, but not so good looking over the last three months. Still feel positive, Barclays have stuck by them. I have 29/03/04 for the interims, can anyone confirm this please.

Undoubtedly ramping goes on on many of these boards, but for my own part I have no desire in creating artificial mini booms in share prices. I neither have the skill nor timing to get in and out as some would appear to have.
Dont be too harsh on Sue, she has a knack of searching out undervalued stocks and providing masses of relevant company information. Several days last week we traded over 10million shares, and whilst I'm sure Sue is very wealthy I don't think she moved that kind of volume or value. She's good, but she's not THAT good!
The recovery potential in this stock is huge although it is obviously a high risk play. Management have delivered in the past in better times & can again.
I certainly don't feel "sucked in," and if this stock delivers ANY positive news the price will rise significantly.

No doubt sales of the Rugby World Cup Book will have added to the bottom line for PMD over Christmas.
'ProgrammeMaster also published and distributed the five official matchday
programmes for The Football League showcase matches namely the Worthington Cup
Final, LDV Cup Final and the three divisional play-offs. It has recently been
awarded UK selling rights for the official IRB 2003 Rugby World Cup book.'

Directors bought shares today, altho they appeared to be at 1pence.
Convertible loan notes were also converted to shares. It should be noted as well that as part of the recent restructuring 2 directors invested 125k of personal money in the company.
The balance sheet should be in a position to move the company back to profitability.

Neutral (Short term) - Jan 13, 2004
Has fallen 60% since the peak on 21 Oct 2003 at 4.10. Has broken the ceiling of the falling trend, which indicates a slower initial falling rate. The stock is testing the support at p 1.60. This should give a positive reaction, but a downward breakthrough of p 1.60 means a negative signal. Poor liquidity (traded 100% of the days, mean 2.63 mill per day) weakens the analysis.

We should hopefully get the decisive break past 2 pence tomorrow which should take the price to much higher levels in the coming days.

Chart has bounced off moving averages to give a very interesting picture.
short term 10 day (red) has crossed rising blue 50day and rising black 200day average.
Volume as always will be key, but these are strong indicators of a positive picture emerging. A strong buy signal in my book.

slightly drop today.

- 190 of 483
Not much signifance in the drop today. MMs were still offering 1.9 pence or slightly more on the quoted bids even with the offer price being at 1.8 pence. Slight drop in the offer price also but MMs had the online buy limit reduced to 100,000 again and one could sell 250,000 shares online. Spread was wide again which is the case when some stakebuilding activity is going at fixed prices, like the 500,000 buy at 2.2 pence. Spread is kept wide so the transaction could be put through. They do not want many buyers at the moment as they are holding stock for other purposes. Hence the wide spread.

Continued activity in this stock is very encouraging. Worth a look for those interested in a pure recovery play with huge upside.
DYOR. In my opinion AGM is likely to signal increased sales and map out path to profits. Board have already said sales in first 5 months of fiscal 04 were higher than entire fiscal 03.
If positive comment comes from AGM this stock could double very quickly.

Rising blue 50day moving average about to cross rising 200day moving average at 1.65pence in next few days. See chart above.
This is a "golden cross" and an indication that a growth trend is developing. This comes after short & medium term moving averages ended their downtrends & a consolidation period started.
This consolidation has now ended and a STRONG BUY SIGNAL is indicated by the GOLDEN CROSS.
This is backed up by the fundamental picture of increasing sales and unprofitable businesses sold off. Volume is also good.
I do hope you still hold these Sue!!!

Price spiked at 4pence previously, so a break-out would need to be around this level. Although in my opinion a mini-breakout will occur at 2.6pence.
These are STRONG BUY signals if volume is maintained.
Please DYOR. Great company website and loadsa info out there. Look at turnover in particular!!!!

Chunky buys at 2.4 pence & above today indicate private investors starting to get on board in larger numbers. A quarter penny rise in this stock is now only 10%.
10 million shares traded! I am currently in a buy & hold very tight position with this one.
If this company can still turnover anywhere near 20million and even squeeze a profit of 1million on that, then its prospective P/E falls to about 4.
All ifs & buts you might say? If you want certainty go buy GILTS! If you want potential, seek out companies that have ridden out very bad times and are now in much stronger financial shape.
IMHO PMD is one such company.

Look how strong the price rebound is from the January share issue. This is a STRONG BUY signal IMO.

Neutral (Short term) - Jan 21, 2004
Has risen 117% since the bottom on 24 Dec 2003 at 1.15. Is within a rising trend and continued advance within the current trend is indicated. On reactions back, there is support against the floor of the trend channel. The stock has support at p 1.43. Poor liquidity (traded 100% of the days, mean 5.24 mill per day) weakens the analysis.

Sue,
Resistance at 4pence will be crucial, but this stock is now showing big technical indicators to the upside. Positive flag formations have brought the stock up to new levels. Flags form followed by short cosolidation periods - buying opportunities.
Volume is improving. Market cap still seriously undervalues intrinsic value of stock. If stock is tipped or reviewed it will fly.
Everywhere I read that the time is right to buy media stocks.
I would appreciate your technical input, when you have finished your mid-terms. I think this stock could be a star performer in 2004.

One other positive. All these price rises are after the financial restructuring.
Collectively, the market is saying, we like what you've done, company is on steady footing, go out and make profits in a recovering media/advertising market.
Long way to go but IMHO anyone buying in now has the chance of making money.
DYOR as always.

Neutral (Short term) - Jan 30, 2004
Has risen 154% since the bottom on 24 Dec 2003 at 1.15. Shows a strong development within a rising trend channel. A further positive development is indicated, and there is support against the floor of the trend channel. The stock has support at p 1.15 and resistance at p 4.10. The poor liquidity of the stock (traded 100% of the days, mean 8.59 mill per day) may weaken the analysis.

Very quiet on this thread over the weekend, is it possibly because most are somewhat mystified as to the reason for the share price gain in the last month? I don't claim to know why but here are a few pointers that perhaps should be taken into account.
1. 1st half trading (03-04) was greater than the entire 02-03 financial year, within their core business.
2. Believe it or not there is not that much stock freely available, the vast majority of the placement went straight to institutions as stated in the proposals for the placement.
3. Barclays clearly supports PMD and believes they turn back to profit sooner rather than later, supported by point 1 above.
4. The directors have stated that PMD will be cashflow positive this year after the reduction of their debt in the last half of last year, through the financial restructuring.
5. Someone is buying large lumps of stock on the open market and have been since the start of January therefore existing free float is getting smaller and smaller. Typically WINS have been leading the bid for stock with the occasional tree shake to scare out the 10%ers, friday being a prime example. 500k and 1m lumps consistently bought over the last 2 weeks, is that anyone on here?
6. The company has so far failed to comment on the +150% movement in it's share price in a relatively short space of time. Yet the directors were quick to set exercise prices for their options near the beginning of the rise. Perhaps they know something we don't ;-)
7. The advertising and publishing sector is enjoying an upturn in fortunes after 3 years in the doldrums.
I'm not one for conspiracy theories about MBOs and takeovers, this could just be punters buying in on the hope of a significant recovery in this sector, but too much stock has been traded in the last month and the rise too consistent for this to be a pump and dump exercise (in fact trade sizes have got significantly bigger as the price has risen, possibly indicative of a desire to fill a position quickly). One thing's for certain, we'll be the last to know on this thread. As long as the rise continues who cares, buy on rumour sell on fact. Be lucky.

vrodgers2,
Welcome to this board & thanks for your considered post. I had been beginning to think I was the only one thinking that something was going on here!
I have been building a stake over time and am not in the ramp and dump category.
I owned this stock several years ago at prices nearer 50pence, when like many other companies in the tech boom; PMd perhaps over-extended itself at just the wrong time.
In my view not so much a case of bad management but extremely bad luck timing wise.
The good news is this company is much leaner, meaner and even keener to create shareholder value. Management is very committed and the balance sheet should be robust now to take the company forward.
Barclays have shown confidence by taking equity, and the recovery in share price is only beginning.

A turnover in excess of 20million and a company market cap of around 11million may also make it a tempting target now if any consolidation in the media sector were to take place.
I will certainly not be selling this stock until further news from the company.

Dug a little deeper on this one & my confidence increases.
The share issue on Jan 2nd, in addition to an October sale of non-core assets, has essentially reduced PMD's bank & bond debt from 30million to only 3million. A MASSIVE reduction, I think you'll agree.
Barclays Bank, the companys' bankers, now own in the region of 20% of the Company. They have demonstrated confidence in converting money owed to them into equity.
Institutions took up over 2million worth of equity in the fundraising, they now own in the region of 60%.
The Directors own between 6-10% of the equity. All of this gives stability to the company.
Also as part of the recent restructuring, the Company has signalled its intention of commencing DIVIDEND payments in fiscal 2005. The Directors have skilfully re-positioned this company for growth, and I think the current share price upturn is only the beginning.

Patience will be the key. This is a recovery play. The company has cut debt, sold off loss making businesses, cut costs, and issued new shares to improve its balance sheet.
The company is also re-organising its capital structure so that it can pay dividends when profits permit. This is unlikely to be until 2005, but the directors have committed themselves to delivering shareholder value.
I think you will agree, that the price recovery since January, must mean that more people than me are buying the stock!!

I am holding tight. The fundamentals of Profiles Media's remaining businesses are sound & on further reading of the mathematics of the recent financial restructuring, the balance sheet now looks more robust.
The recent rise is not a price spike, unlike the 4pence spike on news of disposals of loss making businesses.
Price may show some retracement, but IMO a longer term revaluation of this companys' prospects is taking place. Results in March should give a clearer picture.

Hi thestatusquo, a 30% stake is required to make an offer. I did have twitches about a takeover when I first started this thread. However, I have all my funds invested heavily in African Gold for now as I am expecting February and March to be very good months for AFG.
My only concern is that the offer may not be more than 5-6 pence based on where the price has been over the last twelve months.

Have a look again at PMD over the weekend. I would really appreciate your input, particularly if you find any follow up articles which might give room for further price improvement.
As I said in earlier posts, that 25% seems to have been acquired at 3pence. Price hasn't yet got that far ahead, so there could still be a good way to go yet.

Expect more info from the company regarding this latest 25% stake taken. It is much too big a stake for a first time investor not to have thought about.
a few possibilities here:
1) a long term sleeper investment, recognising the fact that PMD is hugely undervalued now
or
2) the beginning of a serious bid process.
3) a vehicle to take PMD private ( I think unlikely given recent fundraising etc)
4) a reverse takeover, a private limited company seeking a listing
The companys' financial position looks very sound at the moment, with debt payed down, and its balance sheet having in excess of 11million of Intangibles on it.
With the present low market cap, sales in excess of 20million, and current price doesn't reflect any profit prospects.
More to come...

A bid cannot be ruled out. Until the intentions of the new investor are known, price will have to reflect the potential of a bid.

The company also owns the excellent franchise Programmemaster, which distributes sports publications. The Carling Cup Final coming up being one such revenue generating event for the company. (Incidentally it also distributes my monthly Arsenal magazine!!!)

I think some profit taking is bound to occur. This share price has recovered strongly over the last month.
But IMO I think it still has some way to go up, and a bid for the company cannot be ruled out.
It's not very often a new investor walks into a company this small and buys 25% of it, without some intention of realising a profit on its investment!
Time will tell. But this investor only needs another 5% to trigger stockmarket rules on takeover intentions.

Whilst some profits may be taken, that purchase of 25% of Profile Media at 3pence is likely to be supportive of the price.
The Company may make a further announcement as to whether it is in discussions which may or may not lead to a bid for the company.
IMO any bid is likely to value the company at around 20-30million, giving the current share price some way to go.

LONDON (AFX) - The company secretary of AIM-listed publisher Profile Media
Group PLC, Robert Middlemiss, has resigned after the Financial Services
Authority fined him 15,000 stg for "market abuse".
The FSA said that in April 2002, Middlemiss became aware that PMG's revenues
were likely to be significantly below expectations. But before this news was
released to the market, he sold some of his own shareholding in the company to
avoid making a loss.
Following a May 2 2002 profit warning PMG's share price dropped from 14-1/2
pence to 4-3/4 pence.
By selling 70,000 PMG shares when he did, Middlemiss avoided a loss of 6,825
stg.
The case against Middlemiss is the first to be completed under the FSA's new
market abuse regime.
"We will not tolerate individuals using a position of trust for their own
personal financial gain," said Andrew Procter, the FSA's director of
enforcement.
"We have taken action in this case because of the seriousness with which we
view such abuses of position."
Procter also warned all market participants: "There should be no doubt that
we will pursue those who, on the basis of unpublished information, deal ahead of
announcements."
A spokesman for PMG told AFX News thatMiddlemiss resigned today.

Ordinary shareholders rely on honesty and openness in information handling. If this Company goes forward in a more shareholder friendly manner then we can all be winners.

There is a story to unfold about the new investors 25% stake. Expect to hear more in due course.
It may just be a private investment company taking a stake, but its purchase must have been around 3pence, which should give the share price support.
Any increase in stake is bound to increase bid speculation.

There is a piece in todays Shares Mag, readers letters section (back page)which throws some light on the above.
The article states that there has been speculation that Power Consultancy, may have used Profile Media as a bidding vehicle in the recent takeover saga surrounding The Daily Telegraph newspaper group.
That would have been an awesome piece of business! Shares Mag goes on to say that Power Consultancy has sold down some of its stake, probably confirming hemscotts figures of it now holding 21% of the Company.
Shares Mag also states "it will carry a more detailed profile on Profile Media within the next few weeks."

"A look at Profile Media
James Quinn replies:
Profiles significant new investor Power Consultancy gained its stake as part of the placing and open offer, but it was not disclosed until 6 February, and Mike Andrews is right to say that it should have been disclosed earlier.
The fault here seems to lie with Power Consultancy, not Profile Media. There has been speculation that Power Consultancy, which is linked to Nicholas Berry, lined up its stake ahead of Berrys potential bid for the Telegraph titles from Hollinger.
Berrys family sold the titles to Conrad Black in 1985, and there has been speculation that Berry wanted to use the Profile business to reverse the Telegraph titles into it.
But Power has been selling down some of its stake since it was announced, and so it would seem unlikely that he wants to use it for these ends. Small Shares will carry a more detailed profile on Profile Media within the next few weeks.

Small company M&A activity was announced in Peter Lays small cap review. With the popularity of 6 nations rugby and various football events, Profiles Programmemaster business should be doing very well.
It makes it look like a very valuable gemstone in PMD's treasure chest.

erenr,
Your 7pence target matches my fundamental analysis of fair value being somewhere in the 6-8pence region.
Given the companys sizeable turnover, vastly reduced cost base and increased sales, I think that price target is achievable soon.
The speculation surrounding the sizeable investment in the company adds much extra spice. The story about Telegraph newspapers has still to be played out over the next couple of months.
It may also be the case that Mr Berry, linked to Power Consultancy Ltd, has vast experience in the media sector, and may have other plans for Profile Media.

Tipped in this weekends Independent newspaper as vulnerable to a bid.
This is due to recent large shareholding acquired.
This is total speculation on my part, but Profile's business may be used to acquire other media titles which may come onto the market soon.

erenr,
when you look at the rise from 1.2pence to 4 pence in the space of a month, it was obvious that profit taking would occur.
Given Shares Mag due to review the shares "within the next few weeks" as stated by them, then I think it is well worth holding onto these.
If the review is positve, eg reviewing it as a recovery play, then that could have serious price implications. Market cap is still very low, given sales turnover, and profitability potential.
My fair value remains 6-8pence for now.

well in my view its a share to be very long on its above its 50 day and 200 day ma it tracks its 10 day like glue its just stuck to it again,high risk high reward as the saying goes,

Would agree with that. I have built a position in this stock, in anticipation of both positive results and bid potential.
As you say, high risk, high reward.

Opps.....Dodgy people!!!
Notable constant losers over five days include Profile Media, which has retreated 13.7% to 3p over five days. On 10 February the company secretary of the AIM-listed publisher, Robert Middlemiss, resigned after the Financial Services Authority fined him 15,000 for 'market abuse'.

Results seem positive, as regards future profitability.
I'm tempted to buy some more, because this stock is likely to be reviewed in next weeks Shares Mag, following its results publication. But then that is a gamble on a positive review?!
My only concern is that turnover from continuing operations is much lower than I had anticipated, around 3million. Whilst losses narrowed and profitability will be achieved in due course, the level of those profits on such a meagre turnover, may not sustain a market cap in excess of 10million, as is presently the case.
It is perhaps, that a bid premium is already in the price.
IMHO, this stock is probably going to level out for a period of consolidation until either merged or bought out by a larger company. It does not have funds to make acquisitions and would therefore be relying on purely organic growth. Does it have the means to increase turnover to say 10million in the next 3 years? I'm not sure.
I bought into this stock at 1,2,3 and 4pence, believing there to be serious bid potential. I have trimmed my holding to account for the fact that perhaps better penny share value is available elsewhere.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to present the interim results for the six months ended 30 June
2004.
As previously announced, the Group has changed its financial year end from 30
June to 31 December and therefore the following results incorporate a second set
of interim results for the six month period ended 30 June which, together with
the interims to 31 December 2003 previously announced, make up the results for
the 12 months ended 30 June 2004.
The results reflect the positive impact from the restructuring following the
bank debt to equity swap and the cancellation of the deferred shares and share
premium account which was concluded at the start of the year.
The results for the six months ended 30 June 2004 demonstrate the progress we
are making in returning the group to profitability. The results are in line
with my expectation as outlined in the previous interim statement on 4 March
2004. Compared with the same period last year the loss on ordinary activities
before exceptional items and amortisation has been reduced from #3,887,385 to
#640,554.
Financial Results - Overview
Turnover for the continuing businesses for the twelve months ended 30 June 2004
was #7,935,486 (2003: #8,704,133). The decline is due to withdrawal from loss
making contracts and the deferment of a major title, which will now fall into
the current period, at Profile Pursuit Inc (PPI).
It is pleasing to report that gross margins from continuing activities for the
six months to 30 June have continued to improve to 16.7%. This compares with a
gross margin of 13.1% for the previous six-month period and 15.4% for the 12
months to 30 June 2004.
We have continued to strive to bring the Group's operating base to an
appropriate and sustainable level. Consequently ongoing administrative expenses
have fallen to #1,130,463, a reduction of some 37% over the previous six-month
period. .
Losses from continuing operations before interest, depreciation and amortisation
of goodwill were #287,902 a reduction of 79% from the previous six-month period.
During the period additional charges relating to the disposal of Marketlink and
Woodgate, the Group's fulfilment businesses, were identified and have reduced
the previously reported gain by #484,506 to #1,242,598. This adjustment has led
to the restatement of the results to 31 December 2003 by the equivalent amount,
increasing the loss for that period to #2,409,767.
The loss attributable to shareholders for the six months ended 30 June 2004
including discontinued items was #1,083,952, compared to #2,409,767 in the
previous period.
During the period Commonwealth Business Publications ceased to trade and is
shown as a discontinued operation together with the fulfilment division.
Financial Results - By Division
Publishing - Custom and Contract
This division consists of the Profile Pursuit companies, which operate in the UK
and US. Revenue is generated mainly from the sale of advertising space in
controlled circulation publications.
During the six months under review the UK turnover improved by #732,000 as a
result of introducing new and more regular titles. Revenue, however, decreased
in the US by #2.04 million due primarily to a deferment of one title into the
following accounting period in comparison to the equivalent period last year.
Despite the reduction in revenue the US division produced a profit on ordinary
activities for the period.
Our UK division has recently been appointed to publish a quarterly magazine on
behalf of the National Bingo Game Association (NBGA) as from November. The
magazine will be distributed to one million players via the NBGA member clubs
and is expected to make a significant contribution to earnings next year.
Publishing - Other
The remainder of the Group's publishing activities comprises Hazleton and
ProgrammeMaster.
The operations of Hazelton and ProgrammeMaster have been merged successfully and
now trade under our subsidiary Profile Sports Media Limited (PSM). Since this
restructuring, which was completed at the start of the year, both operations
have achieved a significant improvement in their trading performance despite
difficult advertising markets. The Football League remains an important
customer and we retain contracts to publish the official Matchday Programmes for
their showcase finals. In addition PSM has recently won the contract to produce
the official Matchday Programme for the Welsh Rugby Union. The company is also
pleased to announce that it also recently won an important publishing contract
to produce the Matchday Programme, monthly magazine, yearbook and junior
members' magazine for Chelsea Football Club. The benefit of these contracts
will be reflected in the current period.
Current Trading
As outlined in my previous interim statement it appears the media sector is
showing gradual signs of recovery. Advertising budgets are cautiously improving
which is demonstrated by #4.03 million of forward contracted advertising orders
for publications due to be published after 1 July 2004 being some 34% higher
than at the equivalent date last year. The Group remains committed to
maintaining tight cost controls and seeks to introduce new titles and
initiatives when appropriate. With the effect of the introduction of the new
contracts and the continuing improvement of revenues I look forward to reporting
further improvement at the year end which will be for the 18 month period ending
31 December 2004.
I would like to thank shareholders for their continued support. Our employees
have continued to demonstrate their commitment throughout a difficult period.

Personal Opinion.
The results announced in September were positive if you exclude discontinued operations. Based on Chairman's forecasts, easily worth 4p a share if not more!!
I think that they have shown a huge improvement in performance and with about 4m forward contracted business not in this set of accounts imho this company will be back in the black when the full year is reported.
I like this bit :
Current Trading
As outlined in my previous interim statement it appears the media sector is showing gradual signs of recovery. Advertising budgets are cautiously improving
which is demonstrated by #4.03 million of forward contracted advertising orders
For publications due to be published after 1 July 2004 being some 34% higher than at the equivalent date last year. The Group remains committed to maintaining tight cost controls and seeks to introduce new titles and
initiatives when appropriate. With the effect of the introduction of the new contracts and the continuing improvement of revenues I look forward to reporting
further improvement at the year end which will be for the 18 month period ending 31 December 2004.
I wonder if it is anything to do with the advertising for a number of well known football clubs via the club programmes which there were rumours of.Apparantly signed up with Chelsea.
Fits there profile or mission statement of specilising in advertising to captive audiences.
Or perhaps the Zee tv programme.The list goes on and there name seems to keep popping up.In time this could turn out to be a very good play indeed.
I also believe that the management have now shown that they are committed to reducing costs and earnings will benefit more in this period from the new contracts .. i.e Chelsea, Bingo Magazine(circulated to 1 million players)
Rugby etc.
PMD must be a very good take over target especially now with confirmation of recovery in the last results and the low share price , I wouldn't be surprised to see Power making a bid with there 25% of shares it wouldn't cost them very much to buy the next 4% to take control.
You dont put that sort of cash on the table with out expecting a big pay back . At the least they will have done a look more research than any of us
When i work out the valuation here and the improvement this company has made i can't understand why it has not moved much higher.
Trouble is there is nothing really sexy about it but sooner or later people will wake up to the fact that this is gonna be in profit by year end. How many other small caps can say the same.

Independent Newspaper (16.10.04) on Interims. on page ten of the save and spend section :
Private investor Derek Pain in the Saturday Independent noted that reduced losses at Profile Media (PMD.L) provide hope that it is at last on the recovery road. He reviews the restructuring and adds that it looks as though the medicine is starting to work. Chairman John Webber is moderately optimistic and talked of contracted advertising revenue in the current six months being 34% than at the same time last year. All Mr Pain is hoping for now is that the Webber team returns the Group to somewhere near its high-profile past. The shares are unchanged from Fridays close at 1.48p.

Prospects :
The Chairman would not say such emotive things as... "With the effect of the introduction of the new contracts and the continuing improvement of revenues I look forward to reporting
further improvement at the year end...." unless he was pretty confident of achieving them.
Also, having signed up Chelsea FC this season, (who are undergoing a complete rebranding to remove all previous traces of Ken Bates !) I suspect that if they do a good job here (and they can't afford not to) then more of the same will follow, which would indeed make it an interesting target once more.

Chelsea
In yesterday's Independent Newspaper.
Blues hunt the black: Chelsea to stand on its own 22 feet
Peter Kenyon tells Abigail Townsend about the end of Village life and the drive for profits
14 November 2004
Chelsea, the London football club owned by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, is to be overhauled as it strives to move into the black by 2005.
Its chief executive, Peter Kenyon, formerly the head man at Manchester United, has introduced a new club badge and is changing the company's name back to Chelsea Football Club from Chelsea Village.
The name was created by the former chairman, Ken Bates, who developed a leisure complex consisting of two hotels and various restaurants, as well as a nightclub and fitness centre, at the club's Stamford Bridge home in west London.
Mr Kenyon, however, wants the club - which has not won the League for 49 years - to move away from leisure and back towards being a more football-centred business.
He is reviewing the future of the complex and is in talks with a number of operators about taking over the running of the non-football businesses.
It is believed that Hilton and Marriott are both in discussions about operating the hotels, while fish-and-chip-shop chain Harry Ramsden's could come in to run at least one of the restaurants. Catering giant Compass has also been bought in to advise on concourse and catering facilities.
In addition, talks are progressing to find a new sponsor for the club, which has spent around 200m on new players since Mr Abramovich bought the debt-ridden business last year for an estimated 60m.
The main contenders are believed to be electronics giant Sony, and mobile phone companies T-Mobile and mmO2. Orange, the current official mobile network of the club, is not thought to be in the running, however.
The club's 20m, four-year deal with current shirt sponsor, Emirates, comes to an end this season, with the airline moving to rivals Arsenal to sponsor both its shirts and its new ground. It is understood that Chelsea is hoping to secure a new deal for up to 9m a year, though Mr Kenyon has ruled out naming the stadium after the sponsor.
"I don't think it's appropriate for Chelsea, and it's not a revenue stream that we expect to get into," he said.
Mr Kenyon is confident he will be able to match profits at Manchester United, the world's most profitable football club, by growing revenues by 10 per cent per annum. Man U reported revenues of 169m for the year to July 2004, while operating profits came in at over 29m.
"We know that a football club run properly can be profitable," he said. "We want to be the number one club in Europe, on and off the field. It's about ensuring that we're more professionally run and profitable. Today we're not profitable - we will be within five years."
He denied that Mr Abramovich was scaling back his financial support, however, despite admitting that scope for transfer fees had been built into the budget. So far, Mr Abramovich has bankrolled the acquisition of new players.
"I don't think it's prudent today to run a football club on the basis of a benefactor. Part of our job is to leave it in good shape and good shape means self-sufficient. There are too many examples of clubs running themselves inefficiently and getting themselves into trouble.
"Roman will continue to invest so I'm not concerned about that at all, but our job is to make ourselves successful and start repaying that investment."
As part of the push towards profitability, the club will try to increase its membership base from 40,000 to more than 100,000 globally in the next three years. Target markets are China and North America, though the US has proved a tough market for English clubs to crack. Man U has been trying for several years with only limited success.

"As part of the push towards profitability, the club will try to increase its membership base from 40,000 to more than 100,000 globally in the next three years. Target markets are China and North America, though the US has proved a tough market for English clubs to crack. Man U has been trying for several years with only limited success".
---Chelsea trying to increase membership substantially is good news for Profile Media as there would be more readers and more copies to make of the Chelsea Magazine = equals more money coming in for Profile Media = more PROFIT.

Skew Bands - indicate price direction.
The skew bands have made an even bigger leap north today indicating the price is about to surge higher. I would suspect the price will start rising again tomorrow and as Level 2 suggest the other MMs besides WINS are on 1.50 pence on the offer hence 1.50 pence on the offer can come quite quickly.
The Skew Bands can be seen in action on the Daily Pro Chart under Charts on ADVFN.
History : when the skew bands are rising like they are the price has followed up with big leaps as well. See the six months and 1 year chart.
Skew Bands were introduced to myself by a poster called Dusseldorf on ADVFN...he pointed them out on the WHOG thread when the price was at the 0.35 pence levels and the skew bands were making the same leaps up which followed by the price rising by 500%.

If the price starts rising tomorrow with high volume then it signals a new direction for the stock so in PMD's case from a falling trend into a rising trend.

Figures :
Thanks to chestnuts on ADVFN :
As for turnover the H2 for 2003 was roughly 6m new business and the H1 turn over for 05 was roughly 5.5m and expected turnover for this H2 05 is expected to bae around 7m bringing them profitable.
And next yr they could make a reasonable profit of 1m will give them a share price of about 8p i personaly don't want a take over, but what i think might happen is MBO at a knocked down price.

A post from the PMD thread on ADVFN :
It really makes me laugh when i see people come on the thread and they then run away all scared after reading some negative comments about the company.
Pmd have forward contracted ad revenue of 4.5 m which is paid up front and will fall into the next set of accounts.Yes that is 4.5m already in the bank and is without the benefit of other contracts that they ,may or may not win.
Why do these people think its trading at 1.3p for.Because its been forgotten or been missed by the market.No its this price for gods sake because it is risky.But if it is making a recovery then you will be rewarded by the substantial upside from here.
I just wish some people would stick to the FTSE 100 and collect 6% a year or whatever.

bishopawn - don't be offended by dell, just think of him as an old village policeman who tells you off for playing your music loud when its gone 9pm. He's there to make sure that parties don't get out of hand and has a habit of believing every word people say on here as gospel (when we all know that every now and then we may post a comment that is some-what 'embelished'/'a long shot').
He can be found lurking on many threads and pops up at the most suprising times, though recently he has taken to only pointing out the negative aspects of other peoples comments and rarely joins in any constructive conversation on why movements are occuring.

Smiler - thanks for giving me a good laugh!
"The results announced in September were positive if you exclude discontinued operations. Based on Chairman's forecasts, easily worth 4p a share if not more!!"
The interim results actually show losses for both continuing and discontinued operations. The only "forecasts" from the chairman appears to be a comment on forward contracted advertising orders and a comment that he looks forward to "reporting further improvement".
As the company is currently technically insolvent(i.e. unable to pay its liabilities, as they fall due), it would be difficult to announce considerably worse results, wouldn't it??
I find your valuation of 4p per share totally ludicrous, as you have given no indication of how you arrived at this figure and I've never seen any post of yours which demonstrates that you have any idea how to evaluate a company from any of its financial information.
I think that they have shown a huge improvement in performance and with about 4m forward contracted business not in this set of accounts imho this company will be back in the black when the full year is reported.
This statement is also rubbish. The report actually says that the 4.03mln of forward contracted advertising orders is around 34% higher than the position last year, it does NOT state that there is 4.03mln of additional revenue.
When i work out the valuation here and the improvement this company has made i can't understand why it has not moved much higher.
Err, excuse me, but you haven't actually worked out a valuation. you've simply pulled a number out of thin air, with absolutely no justification for it.
Are you aware that from the last interims, PMD has net current liabilities of 4.9mln??
Are you aware that net tangible assets are negative by over 5mln??
Are you aware that this company is scheduled to repay its overdraft on 28th Feb 2005, and is unlikely to have funds to do so??
Are you aware that if they hadn't extended their year end date, I don't see any way that they could have got their annual accounts signed off as a going concern without auditor qualification??
Can I suggest that you actually do some research....

Thanks to barnetpeter on advfn :
The comments here are just plain daft. Yes we know this is a very risky punt and that it has debt. But that is why it is a penny stock traded on Aim. Ashtead (AHT) had far bigger problems and hit 2p at one time. It is now approx 80p and rising. ASC was very nearly at the wall when I bought at 3.5p. Got in some cash and has never looked back. Hit 90p plus this week. Oh and I still hold 200,000 of the original shares I bought. If you want 30 baggers you have to take a big risk! You only need one. Otherwise, keep your cash in the building society. No moans from me if this goes broke.
If PMD can survive, trade its way into profit then it has a real chance. It has a solid business.
Current Trading
As outlined in my previous interim statement it appears the media sector is
showing gradual signs of recovery. Advertising budgets are cautiously improving which is demonstrated by #4.03 million of forward contracted advertising orders for publications due to be published after 1 July 2004 being some 34% higher than at the equivalent date last year. The Group remains committed to maintaining tight cost controls and seeks to introduce new titles and initiatives when appropriate. With the effect of the introduction of the new contracts and the continuing improvement of revenues I look forward to reporting further improvement at the year end which will be for the 18 month period ending 31 December 2004.

barnetpeter - It always makes me laugh when people compare their stocks to other unrelated stocks, with no detailed explanation of why they think parallels can be drawn.
Funnily enough they always seem to compare their stocks to ones that have subsequently done rather well(I've lost count of the number of times, I've seen dogstocks compared to Yoomedia!!).
Why not compare PMD to IREV or BLA??
Their share prices plunged to lowly levels and then they went bust.

Dell, I say above - "this is a very risky punt and it has debt. But that is why it is a penny stock traded on Aim". Very risky punt sums it up nicely I would think?
What are you looking for me or others to say? That after your posts, we have all seen the light?
This is a penny punt. There are plenty of them around and some will make it and others will not. Almost ALL have debt. It is not a FTSE 350 company or above 5om cap and you cannot easily short it in the UK. Geddit yet Dell?
My advice is to ignore prat posters like Dell. Even if they are right occassionally, those who regularly deramp penny shares are jokers who have often lost heavily themselves in the past.

All of the below (in quote marks) will be in the next set of results, they've won a good few contracts this year, including ZeeTV, Chelsea (ZeeTV has a mass audience and Chelsea as the Independent article pointed out are trying to more than double their membership, especially in the US, PMD are good in the US :
"The operations of Hazelton and ProgrammeMaster have been merged successfully and now trade under our subsidiary Profile Sports Media Limited (PSM). Since this
restructuring, which was completed at the start of the year, both operations
have achieved a significant improvement in their trading performance despite
difficult advertising markets. The Football League remains an important
customer and we retain contracts to publish the official Matchday Programmes for
their showcase finals. In addition PSM has recently won the contract to produce
the official Matchday Programme for the Welsh Rugby Union. The company is also
pleased to announce that it also recently won an important publishing contract
to produce the Matchday Programme, monthly magazine, yearbook and junior
members' magazine for Chelsea Football Club. The benefit of these contracts
will be reflected in the current period".

The importance of the Chelsea contract and the potential :
Chelsea Football Club have confirmed that they are transferring the responsibility for publishing all their magazines and programmes to Profile Media Group. The contract includes the monthly fanzine (Chelsea Magazine), a monthly juniors club magazine (Bridge Kids), the matchday football programmes and the Chelsea Yearbook. Chelsea Magazine is expected to deliver over 50,000 members every month and will have an additional 25,000 distribution at retail on the first issue. This will also have a limited overseas circulation.
Expectations are high at Chelsea Football Club for the 2005 Centenary season. Success is the new watchword throughout the club; be it the performance of the 1st team or the publishers of the club's programmes. Eddie Taylor, the Head of Sports Publishing at Profile Media Group, said "We are delighted to be working with Chelsea on their entire publishing portfolio. Jose's team are committed to playing exciting football, and we in turn are committed to delivering a quality, collectible series of publications designed to entertain and inform the fans."
Julian Scriven, Marketing Director for Profile said "This is a real top end audience - Chelsea delivers the highest demographic of any team in the Premiership - 75% of Season ticket holders are ABC1 and a third earn over 50k per annum. The real opportunity for any advertiser however, is brand association. Chelsea Football Club is synonymous with excitement, glamour and success. These are messages premium brands will want to connect with. Whilst individual opportunities are available, some advertisers are buying across the portfolio for the season to maximise the association.

Comment by a poster called Chestnuts on ADVFN :
Afternoon all
Lolsrus i have asked PMD if they Power have a director on the board and they say not and i have asked if they have had contact and they also say not,
We all know PMD is a risky business but look at the potential at what they could turn into.
We know they do a good job
We know about Chelsea contract but i feel they won't stop there but go for all the premier ship and even the european football clubs sky is the limits on this one, and as Barnet Peter says you have to speculate to accumalate, if they send a RSN about either gaining Arsenal or even Man Utd the share price will rocket i can see the potential and so can powerconsultancy and so can Barclays.
And the chart pattern is very distintive and common pattern and will rise back upto 4p but i don't think it will happen over night but by next April it could well be.
Dell314 we have had several discussions with you in the last month or so and answed all your questions your aggender is only to drive the share price down to either buy in your self or for somebody like power to collect shares on the way.

Zee TV's reign amongst the viewers = more good news for PMD.
Since it's UK launch in 1995, Zee TV has been totally committed to broadcasting quality programming for South Asian viewers, who up until then, had never been witness to such a wide variety of dramas, comedies, news bulletins, documentaries or Bollywood blockbuster movies.
Zee's repertoire of programmes has continued to grow from strength to strength, offering viewers programming content that caters to the needs of all generations and for the whole family to enjoy! With Zee's ever-growing line-up of top class programming, the channel has become a benchmark for the competing satellite channels that have followed.
Now, over seven years later, Zee still reigns supreme and remains the number one channel in the UK and Europe with over a million viewers. Today the Zee Network in the UK is the largest Asian television network with four amazing channels - Zee TV, Zee Music, Zee Cinema and Alpha Punjabi.
No other Asian television network offers viewers such a vast range of entertaining programmes. It's hardly surprising that as years go by more and more viewers join the ever increasing family of Zee.

With PMD's presence in the US...ZeeTV have taken giant leaps in the US and Chelsea want to follow suit as well.
ZEE TV USA:
Zee network has grown to form a fully integrated enterprise forming the largest bouquet of 24/7 television channels in south Asian languages worldwide. The first choice of 225 millions of south Asians in over 84 countries across the globe is part of the Zee network worldwide.
Since July 15th, 1998, when Zee TV started its operations in the USA, it has come a long way. Already the numero uno among the non-Hispanic ethnic television channels in terms of paying subscribers in the USA, Zee has become synonymous with South Asian entertainment for over a million south Asians in USA, Canada and Caribbean.
Sensing the growing demand and taking a bold initiative that - Zee Gold - the first 24/7 South Asian movies and music channel in the USA - was launched on December 15th, 1999. Built around the biggest draw for a south Asian, the movies Zee Gold brought the largest privately held South Asian movie library from the subcontinent to the living rooms of subscribers in the USA. The most exhaustive experience of south Asian movies, from old black and white classics to the very latest blockbusters from India and Pakistan gave the subscribers the most comprehensive viewing feast to a movie buff. Also brought to you were the events like Zee Cine Awards, Zee Sangeet Awards and the Zee Gold Bollywood Awards coupled with Music programs and telezenes from all over the world.
Zee Cinema in the USA
The largest 24/7 south Asian movie television channel is coming to the USA. Zee Cinema is the first pay channel in India in 1995. After already being a mega success in South Asia, Europe and Africa is now coming to win the south Asian hearts here. The product is designed to enhance and enrich the viewing experience of the subscribers. Exemplified by its motto 'Movies, Masti and Magic,' Zee Cinema boasts a range of movie fare commiserate with the largest privately held movie library in south Asian languages. From rare black and white classics to the very latest blockbusters, Zee Cinema is aimed at delivering the most comprehensive and stimulating south Asian movie experience in the South Asian homes in the USA.
Delivering the earlier promise of 6 movies a day, Zee Cinema goes a step ahead and airs 7 movies per day on the weekend. Zee Cinema establishes its superiority over other channels in the genre with its vast library of the network that can promise and consistently deliver a promise of 44 movies every week.
With six films a day on weekdays and seven films a day on weekends and many film-based programs Zee Cinema provides its viewers unadulterated glimpse of Bollywood everyday on their favorite movie channel making it a complete movie channel for all sections of the audience.
Global Beam
One of the primary reasons for Zee Network turning out to be a global success and in a little over a decade has been an unceasing quest for improvement. Be it breaking into new genres or value adding the product for a more exhaustive experience the network has always treated the business like a airplane which flies on its onward velocity. It was for this reason that the channel invested in getting the news feeds directly from India, in 3 different Indian languages, every day and via satellites. It was for this reason that the channel invested in global properties like Cine Awards, Music Awards and live cricket from all over the world. It is for this reason that Gurbani is aired on Zee TV live everyday through a satellite link from Harminder Sahib, Amritsar, Punjab.
Global beam of Zee TV is the next mega-step in product enrichment from the network. The Global beam enriches the channel experience by making its content contemporary. Furthermore its viewers are able to get late breaking news on an as it happens basis. The viewing experience is standardized and no matter which part of world you are, you will never miss another episode of your favorite soap/program again!! not to mention that the broadcast of programs in the US will never be subject logistical problem of tape delivery etc.

Dell: why are you are claming she sold her shares? If' she had sold her PMD shares surely there is no need for her to 'ramp' PMD anymore.
xmortal(a.k.a cath57) - I am claiming that Sue sold her shares because all the evidence says that she has(unless, you think 148,549 is quite a common holding??).
Why she still ramps the shares, I don't really know.
Maybe she still has another holding, or maybe she is just trying to save face, to try and avoid her "pump'n'dumper" label. I doubt if her dwindling number of muppet followers would be so keen, if they knew that she was just skimming a quick profit and moving on, everytime she entices them into a new stock....

Seems dell314 and dil have been busy today as the price has been in the red. Not surprising and complete waste of time.
Price eased back today as the market makers looked to pick up stock cheaply as T10 traders (from when they was heavy retail buying 10 trading days ago) have to close their positions today, tomorrow and on Monday. So the myth about the large seller is out of the window again. The large buyer has been picking up stock at agreed prices as the MMs knew they'll be able to get the stock back at less the price they sold at which did happen today.
Thanks for your thoughts TSQ.

More total garbage from Sue!
The price dropped early this morning due to a large sell of 482k. It then rose a little, as a few opportunistic buyers came in.
Your alleged "large buyer" apparently picks up blocks at whatever the current online price is, so I don't think it's very likely that there is any "agreed price"
You can still buy huge chunks at midprice. Perhaps the marketmakers have got confused and don't realise they are meant to be accumulating stock for Mr.Big...

Ignoring the crap and lies that she posts and just looking at the charts suggests that a long term up trend has been in place for some while and the price is currently at a previous resistance level with a push through this suggesting further upside.

The moral of this story is you push crap companies, you might make
