Air Music and Media (AMU)     

ptholden - 24 Aug 2004 21:52

AMU quite rightly appears to be developing a small following, hence I have updated the header with a 'carrot' and the charts.

PTH

UK smallcap opening - Air Music & Media gains on Investors Chronicle tip
AFX


LONDON (AFX) - Buyers came for Air Music & Media, 1.13 ahead at 7.75 pence, after the Investors Chronicle advised readers to 'buy'.

With trading looking strong at the music distributor, and a share price target of 13 pence from broker Seymour Pierce, the shares look oversold, the IC concluded.

Up 28% now, mid price 8.50p lots more opportunities to buy if the price is to reach 13/15p. goal.

1704 - 22 Apr 2005 19:08 - 12 of 276


Been holding these little gems for a couple
of months. Very good earnings and profit
growth forecasts over the next couple of
years by the Broker, Seymour Pierce.
The shares have been vastly 'oversold'
since the end of January 2005 and despite
today's rise of 28% they are still undervalued.

The price target of 13p looks a conservative
estimate to me. Hopefully the company will
recieve more comments in the financial press
and more investors will come on board.

goal - 29 Apr 2005 23:12 - 13 of 276

Up 13% today, what a good company. Regards goal.

1704 - 03 May 2005 12:53 - 14 of 276


If only the performamce of the share price
was as good as the company. I will not be
pleased until the shares are trading
between 13-15p.

They are currently still trading at
bargain levels and very much under-valued.

1704 - 04 May 2005 11:58 - 15 of 276


Cracking article about AMU in the May 2005
issue of 'Growth Company Investor'.
Mark Frey one of the Board Members was
interviewed and was very upbeat about
the strong growth prospects over the next
couple of years.

Mark Frey says, 'I can't control the share
price, only the business. And we're doing
fine'.

I wish he could control the share price.
Down another 7% today. But I'm expecting
a re-rating and better performance after
the company results in July 2005.

goal - 04 May 2005 12:13 - 16 of 276

I don't under stand why its down yesterday & now today as there seem to be more buys. Brokers say the value of AMU is more like 14/15p.

1704 - 04 May 2005 13:27 - 17 of 276


Goal

Like you I'm lost about the dips again in the sp.

I've noticed that a relatively small volume of 'sells'
always seem to lead to the sp heading southwards.
Whereas large volumes of 'buys' either lead to the share
price stagnating or lead to small upwards
movements.

I'm hoping this situation will change soon as
AMU is starting to come to the attention of
the market because of its strong growth expectations
over the next 24 months. I agree with the Brokers
it should be trading at 14/15p now.

Just think what it could be trading at in 24 months
time?

1704 - 05 May 2005 18:01 - 18 of 276


AMU ssems to be coming to the attention
of more and more private investors.

Hottest tickets in town are for the
'Growth Company Investor' Show taking
place on the 22/06/05.

The publicity material states that:

'The show is a new event featuring some
of the best small cap companies in the
UK. It is an ideal opportunity for you
to meet and network with companies you
have already invested in, as well as
other fast-growing companies on the
Official List and AIM'.

A selection of current exhibitors includes:
Air Music and Media.

Tee Hee Hee! I cannot wait to attend this event.

goal - 09 May 2005 15:57 - 19 of 276

Looks like all buys today but no movement in the price!!

1704 - 09 May 2005 18:26 - 20 of 276


Goal-The last trade today at 4.29pm looks like a
'sell' of 100k.

Someone or some people seem bent
on keeping the share price in this frustratingly
boring 7-9p trading range. I'm expecting the
usual dip in the share price tommorrow or later
in the week. I hope I'm wrong of course but I
wouldn't bet against it.

skyhigh - 10 May 2005 16:35 - 21 of 276

1704... I hope you're right and the SP dips by next week as that is when I want to go in and buy some... It can then go up all it likes ...:)

1704 - 10 May 2005 17:47 - 22 of 276


Skyhigh

I hope you do get in but not at my expense.

Hopefully things should become interesting after
the company results in July 2005. Until then I'm
not expecting much movement in the sp but would
love to see this share trading at around its real
worth of 13p before the company results.

Not much chance of that happening but its a nice
thought.

skyhigh - 12 May 2005 08:30 - 23 of 276

Bid is down this morning.. hope the offer drops as well so I can get in at a good price next week ! Then ... it can go up all it likes !

skyhigh - 13 May 2005 14:56 - 24 of 276

Offer now coming down as well.. looking good to get in a good price next week.. just need it to drop a little further !

1704 - 13 May 2005 15:01 - 25 of 276


yaaawwwnnn! Wake me up after next week someone.

skyhigh - 13 May 2005 15:21 - 26 of 276

I'll do that with the good news next week !

1704 - 18 May 2005 10:24 - 27 of 276


Nice little tick up this morning. Could be related to
a article in 'The Independent' Newspaper.

Market Report (18/5/05)by Michael Jikov

'AMU was steady at 7.5p despite whispers that next month's
results from the group are likely to impress'.

goal - 18 May 2005 10:34 - 28 of 276

Let's hope for a steady rise.

skyhigh - 18 May 2005 11:16 - 29 of 276

Well, missed the low point to get in by one week.. never mind, will get in at current levels on Friday..should do well in the run up to the results etc.. although in the current market conditions for small caps nothing may happen or it could even go down,, who knows!

1704 - 18 May 2005 12:23 - 30 of 276


Goal-I'm hoping for a steady rise upto the
copmpany results and then hopefully more
upwards movements. However, as usual a lot
will depend on the behaviour of the MMs.
The share price has been stuck in the 7-9p
trading range for quite some time now and
a breakout above this level is long overdue.

I continue to look at my investment as a
2-5 years hold. With the DVD Market set to
continue growing over the next few years
I'm hoping this will prove to be a good
'hold'.

goal - 18 May 2005 12:33 - 31 of 276

Not sure if I will hold as long as you, but if AMU keep in an up would trend then who knows.

1704 - 18 May 2005 12:59 - 32 of 276


Goal- Thanks for your post.

AMU has good growth potential and has plans to
expand into the games industry and more markets
overseas.

In the past i've sold holdings in HTG, JKX and Morgan
Sindall too early and taken quick profits only to see
the share price rise even further. I'm determined not
to make the same mistake with AMU.

As you know AMU is listed on the AIM and therefore, the
longer you keep hold of the shares the less you pay in
capital gains tax.






1704 - 18 May 2005 13:51 - 33 of 276


Share price is up over 10%.
I love days on the market when my portfolio
is doing well. Tee! Hee! Hee!

Well, I'm in AMU at last... typical.. buy price goes down 1/2p after I get in!

A word of warning.. the so called "good" shares I've gone into over the past 6 months have gone down 30-50%. Small caps/Aim markets have taken a battering !
However. AMU should do well in the lead up to results and maybe after..(imho) will hold on to these for a good while..

Welcome to the family skyhigh, this company makes money...so there for it is a good investment. Regards goal.

Thank you for the welcome... glad to be on board. may even top up a bit in the next week or two as more funds become available..

Skyhigh: I'm thinking along the same lines as
you will try and will top-up whenever possible
ahead of the results. I'm also looking to
hold medium-long term.

Wilbs-The forecasts from Seymour Pierce look
better and better every time I look at them.
The shares are a bargain at the current price
lets hope they are re-rated accordingly after
the results.

Some nice 'buys' going through today
(178500, 55332 and 17662) pity the
share price has not pushed upwards
a bit more.

skyhigh - 01 Jun 2005 13:03 - 55 of 276

the way things are going if the sp did go up it would only come back down.
would like to see these go steadily up in the run up to the results and then double again when announced..
28p tops i reckon... imho...(more like in my dreams!)

1704 - 01 Jun 2005 13:58 - 56 of 276


Skyhigh-I think most of us would agree with the points
that you raised. It seems to be one step foward and two
steps back in relation to the share price.

Just remember 'Dreams can come true' (sometimes) and
before anyone posts it and so can nightmares.

wilbs - 01 Jun 2005 14:10 - 57 of 276

RHPS have a limit buy price of 9p and a (I think) 12 month target of 14p. The date I belive it was tipped was July 04 and I belive its also still a buy.

wilbs

1704 - 01 Jun 2005 14:49 - 58 of 276


Wilbs- Spot on there I subscribe to RHPS. It was
recommended as a 'buy' in June 2004.

I'm hoping that the 14p target price is raised after
the results are announced. The Broker, Seymour Pierce
also has a similar target price. I'm of the opinion
that 14p is not a true reflection of the worth of
this company.

Would appreciate feedback from other's on whether
they agree or disagree.

wilbs - 01 Jun 2005 15:08 - 59 of 276

1704,

totaly agree. From what I know about RHPS, they usualy up their target price before or just after results. I understand that its got a low risk rating?

I belive that most of these 'tip sheets' target prices are always lower than what the sp usualy ends up at, it makes the 'tipsters' look good as they hit their target yet exceed it.

I have not been in AMU for long but to me it seems like a great company. After the results, hopefuly AMU will start to attract some 'big boys'.
A long term share but I belive will be worth the wait.

All in my honest opinion of course!!!

wilbs

1704 - 01 Jun 2005 15:28 - 60 of 276


Wilbs-Totally agree with your views.
I've been a holder since the start of this year
and intend to stay so.

If only the share price would perform as well as
the AMU management team. Very frustrating waiting
for it do so.

wilbs - 01 Jun 2005 15:46 - 61 of 276

1704,all,

its a frustating business but time usualy rewards.

Being such a small company in terms of AIM and the lack of coverage of the company will nearly always keep the sp down. Hence the spread, although its not as bad as bigger companies I have invested in. Like most 'minnows' as they are classed as, and the fact that AMU and others alike are a great company, the 'big boys' will not be interested until they have sold themselves to the city. When, and I mean when the instutions hear whisper, ears prick up and they realise its time to buy into this company, then thats when the sp will refelect the company.
There are many great companies out there but there are many that don't deliver.
One of the best sayings in the world, good thinks come to those who wait!!
How long?
How long is a piece of string?

wilbs

1704 - 01 Jun 2005 17:07 - 62 of 276


Wilbs-Thanks for your post.

Myself and quite a few other's this year have
put foward similar views about AMU.

There are 3 things I will looking out for in
the prior to and after the results. All have
a bearing on the share price.

1.Comments regarding Maiden Dividend Payments
2.Future Acquisitions (AMU has made an acquisition
every year which has led to its growth)
3. Following the results announcements that Directors
have purchased a decent amount of shares. At present
the Directors do not own even half of 1% per cent of
AMU.

goal - 02 Jun 2005 14:33 - 63 of 276

What, down 3.5% on one Small sell..your having a laugh.

1704 - 02 Jun 2005 14:39 - 64 of 276


Goal-I was thinking along the same lines as you.

1704 - 02 Jun 2005 18:21 - 65 of 276



Strange share price movements this week.

The sp was down by 3% plus on Monday or Tuesday,
up by 3% plus yesterday and down again by 3% plus
today on less than 35k shares traded. If anyone
can make sense of these movements please provide
a explaination.

Looking foward to meeting up with the Senior
Management Team at AMU on the 22/6/05 prior
to the results being released in July 05.

Be Lucky!

skyhigh - 20 Jun 2005 15:57 - 66 of 276

So what's going on 'ere then.... bid now down to 6.25p ?!
This one has been tipped all over the place and it's going down... Doesn't make sense... can't see no reason for the fall...we're all being shafted while mms will probabaly make out of it!

1704 - 20 Jun 2005 17:41 - 67 of 276


Skyhigh-I share your frustrations.

Thank goodness the results are about to be announced
around the 5th July 2005. Not long to wait now. If the
sp does not head upwards after the results are announced
then I would be really worried.

1704 - 01 Jul 2005 19:24 - 68 of 276


Maiden Dividend Announcement
Rising profits before tax in line with forecasts
Rising EPS in line with forecasts.
Bullish outlook for profits and EPS for next year.

Seymour Pierce to remain as AMU Broker but also
another Broker to start covering AMU as well.

The 100k 'buy' at 7.94p was mine.

Confused it will all make sense next week.


skyhigh - 01 Jul 2005 21:22 - 69 of 276

1704.... I hope you're right and that it doesbn't turn out to be a damp squib... so may companies recently have produced good results and the sp has done nothing or even gone down... here's hoping :)

Skyhigh- If your suspicions are correct (which I
would be surprised if they were) shame on the
Directors. I recently met one of the Directors
and they already own half of the company.
If you have a look on the AMU website under
the Investor Section it shows a list of the Major
Shareholders and the Directors hold their shares
in various nominee accounts. For example, the
CEO holds over 20% alone.

I still think the sp will nudge upwards over the
next month and hopefully sustain its gains.
I think today saw the MMs playing there silly
games again.

Contradictory views given on the results today.

The Daily Round Up (Hemscott Analyst Service)
highlights upbeat comments from Seymour Pierce
describing the results as excellent adding that
the group's maiden dividend is a bonus.

However, there is less positive article about the
results on the ShareCast Website which you can
read on http://www.digitallook.com.

I tend to agree with the opinions of Seymour Pierce
and remain 'bullish'.

Another frustrating day holding onto these shares. If only

company is doing. Still cannot believe that these are
languishing around 7p after the recent results.

Adding to my frustration is the positive comments in
the Hemscott Analyst Service (Daily Round Up) and
small caps section of This is Money Website
(www.thisismoney.co.uk.) last week which highlighted
AMU as 'one to watch out for'. Well I've been holding

has yet to perform.

More articles about AMU were in the Shares and I.C.
Magazines over the weekend. Like others I'm fed up

and is currently undervalued I just want the share
price to start performing and head northwards.

making money from this stock are the 'Market Makers'.

I've had a very frustrating time since Feb 2005 buying
into AMU but will continue to hold-on hoping that it will
pay off eventually. Although it is not guaranteed that it
will come good I am willing to take the risk rather than
sell and take a big loss.

1704 - Thanks for your posting.

Where did you find out about the AGM, did you receive an invitation to attend from AMU? My holding is relativly small only 10,917 shares and I use SelfTrade a execution only broker. Do you need to hold a certain persentage of shares for a AGM invite or can anyone attend?

1704 - 30 Aug 2005 19:34 - 96 of 276

I hold my shares in a nominee account and so my
Stockbroker has to send me a 'Letter of Representation'
confirming how many shares I hold and confirming
I have the right to attend the AGM as a shareholder.

I am waiting for confirmation about the date and the
location from the Registrars. The AMU website shows
that the 6th October 2005 is the date for the AGM
but it has not as yet been confirmed.

The Company Registrar is Neville Registrars Limited

Good to hear from you again and I like you I think the SP
will eventually come good. However, I have shared the
same sentiments since Feb 2005 and the reverse has
happened which is worrying me. The recent results were
good and the fundamentals are good yet the SP is in the
doldrums. It makes little sense to me and I hope I hear
some positive news at the AGM to reassure me that this
is worth holding onto.

I think some of the main reasons why this share continues to be
overlooked is because of the following:

1. The wide spread that exists between the 'buying' and
'selling' prices. The company needs another broker
to begin coverage of this share. The SP has to rise
buy quite a perecentage to make a profit especially
when dealing costs are added onto the purchase costs.

2. The lack of RNS Statements updating shareholders and
Institutional investors about the progress of the company.
For example, before the recent results the previous RNS
was released at the end of Jan 2005. Why don't they
release trading updates every 3 months to get the
company on the radar screens of more City Institutions.

Just my personal views. Would be interested to hear others.

All the Best.

explosive - 31 Aug 2005 12:56 - 99 of 276

1704 thanks for the advice, its appreciated. Also I agree with your points above. I have too wondered why RNS are short and far between. It would be nice for a quarterly ops update or a trading forecast to put the gremlins to rest.
My personal view when looking at AMU, the business at times appears to be run like a family show! This to me is why AMU are often missed off the city radar...

14 July Final Results.....

John French, Chairman of Air Media, commented:

"I am pleased to announce that Air Media has enjoyed another record year of
growth in profits. The contribution of Music Box has had an impact on the
Group's revenues during the period of strongest trading in a seasonal business.
From an operational perspective, the acquisition has demonstrated that there are
a number of synergies, particularly in distribution, to be further exploited.
With the continued strong performance of the Group's North American operations,
the Board will be recommending a maiden dividend of 0.012 pence per share for
the second half-year trading period.

"The Board has completed a strategic review and restructuring as part of its
commitment to driving distribution synergies across the enlarged group. As a
result, the Group has started the new financial year aggressively addressing
areas contained within the strategic review and will continue to examine any
acquisition opportunities that could further enhance the development of the
Group."

Powerful statement as I'm sure your agree, but the followed up with Board changes and Dividend declaration to date. What happened to the momentum? Maybe were experiencing a slowdown in what our chairman calls a "seasonal business"!!..

1704 - 31 Aug 2005 14:54 - 100 of 276

Good points that you raised.

The above statement from the Chair makes painful reading
to me as I was sure the SP would rise to 10-13p after the
results were released. Instead the opposite happened and
now they have been stuck in the 6-6.50p trading range
since. I think the timing of the Board Changes did not help
either.

I'm not sure what we are experiencing at the moment but
unless we hear some positive news soon I fear the SP will
be stuck at these low levels for weeks/months.

All the Best

1704 looking on the positive side though AMUs Final Results also stated the following......

Results for the 12 months ending 31st March 2005, include a six-month
contribution from Redworth and its subsidiaries. This period includes the
strongest trading months in a seasonal business. The Group's activities have
generated a 216% increase in turnover to 49.8m (2004: 15.8m) with a 126%
increase in profit before tax, interest, goodwill amortisation and exceptional
items to 4.3m (2004: 1.9m). Acquisitions contributed 35.4m to turnover and
4.1m to profit before tax, interest and goodwill amortisation. Normalised
earnings per share are 0.90p (2004: 0.68p). In view of this performance the
Board is recommending a maiden dividend of 0.012 pence per share for the second
half-year trading period.

With no indication or an announcement of a profit warning theres no reason to believe that the momentum stipulated above has changed..... The dividend has also remained the same hinting that AMU are tracking where they want to be!!!

I am holding out for positive news especialy regarding distribution lines being in place moving into Q3 and Q4. As AMU have stated many times their business is seasonal. With the run up to xmas and year end, it will be distribution channels to market which will sink or make waves in the market place..... ;-)

Exposive-

Thanks for your post. I agree with the points that you raised.

As far as running the company on a profitable basis is concerned
you cannot fault the Board Members. However, having said that after
the results over 2m was cut from Broker Profit Forecasts in the year
ending 31 March 2007 because of lower budget DVD sales. Pre-Tax
Profits are expected to be 5.10m in 2006 and 5.60m. If these
forecasts are met without any nasty surprises hidden in the results
the SP could move sharply upwards.

Has anyone looked at the results from Home Entertainment
Corporation (HET) released yesterday. The company is listed
as a General Retailer of DVD Film Rentals. HET has a Market Cap
of 21.38m but its shares are trading at 1.18p the dividend
payment is just under 7p. However, the pre-tax profits forecasts
of AMU are set to be higher HET over the next couple of years.
I just wish the share price will be too.

Seymour Pierce and Teather and Greenwood are the covering
analysts for HET. The fundamentals and broker forecasts of the
company and AMU can be viewed by clicking on the Digital Look website
(www.digitallook.com). Any comments would be welcome.

Logging Off now.

Won't be anywhere near a computer tommorrow so will catch up
with you all on Friday.

1704 - I agree with your post. With one exception of the financial brilliance of the Board. Noted with last Final Results is the rather high level of debtors 11m+, this potential revenue needs to be addressed. 2004 debtors were 5.7m so a considerable increase, there is no indication of how much of the 11m was gained with the acquisition of Redworth either!!

Lets see how Redworth Ltd and Music Box have been integrated and if the synergies particularly in distribution have been addressed/exploited.

Digital Look forecast figures show eps growth at 05-7.35% 06-11.11% & 07-13.00% all positive. Seymore Pierce covering broker also recommends the share as [Strong Buy] a position held for the past 3 months+.

Skyhigh your answer below regarding Ranks Deluxe Films.

Overall, Fridays interim numbers, at the pre-exceptional level, came in as expected. But weakness in the gaming business, where profits fell despite a 21 per cent rise in sales, was something of a wild card. More disappointing was what the management had to say on the Deluxe films and media businesses. Deluxe media, which continues to lose money, is due to be sold by the end of the year. But it may not be. The much larger films operation, due to be spun-off, will also now be sold - perhaps.

I'm unsure whether or not AMU are in negotations with
Rank Group for Deluxe Films but I reckon something must
have triggered the 'buying' spree today.

Correct me if I'm wrong but AMU have made at least one
acquisition to its business every year. I think the last
acquisition they made was in October 2004 when they
bought Redworth Ltd. About time they added another
one methinks. I'm hoping for a share consolidation
to take place after the next major acquisition as we
have too many shares issued at present and I reckon
it is having a hegative impact on the SP.

1704 - Found this on Bloomberg.

Sept. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Rank Group Plc, the owner of Grosvenor Casinos and Mecca Bingo, abandoned a plan to spin off its Deluxe Film business and said it may keep the unit a year after announcing plans to exit DVD distribution and movie processing.

The plan to distribute stock in the movie-processing company to Rank investors was cast aside amid concerns that the business may not be strong enough on its own to fulfill long-term contracts with film companies, Chief Executive Mike Smith said today in an interview. London-based Rank still aims to sell the unit and is in negotiations with at least 10 potential buyers, he said.

``We put a lot of work into a demerger which we were hoping was the simplest way of separation,'' Smith said today. ``We have not made that work on a satisfactory basis and we're now looking to see if that business can be sold. It not a business we would let go for any price and we're keeping the option to retain that business if we can't find a satisfactory outcome.''

Rank, which has distributed movies for more than 50 years, wants to focus on its gambling business as the U.K. government plans to relax legislation governing the country's $3.8 billion gaming industry. The company has still to find a way of exiting the movie industry a year after it said it was seeking to do so.

Loss of Contract

Plans to sell the unprofitable Deluxe Media unit, a maker and distributor of DVDs, have reached an ``advanced'' stage and a transaction should be concluded by the end of this year, Smith said. More than one buyer is interested in the unit, whose loss widened in the fiscal first half after the ending of a contract that accounted for almost half its DVD production, he said.

Definatly looks intresting and you are correct with the timing of past mergers...

The company, founded by J Arthur Rank and strongly associated with the British film industry, making hundreds of films including the Carry On series, will end its 60-year association with movies by selling its Deluxe Media business before the end of the year.

Deluxe Media manufactures about 200 million DVDs and videos a year, and distributes many more. It is estimated to be worth around 700 million.

"The sale process is progressing but, as we have said previously, it is a complex transaction and will only be completed on terms that the board consider to be in the best interest of shareholders," Mike Smith, Rank's chief executive, said.

"The people interested in that business fall into two categories. There is a category that are already big players in that industry and who would look to buy our business and get synergies and so on," Mr Smith said.

"And the other parties are those who are on the edge of the industry and see our business as a way of getting much bigger and of getting much closer to important customers."

Thanks for the info about Rank Group. There was an interesting

A year ago it was rumoured to be willing to sell Deluxe for 50m

The NMS of AMU is 100k (or even smaller?) which
makes it very difficult to buya large amount of the

can often made with brokers to buy the shares
at a certain price.
What interests me about this is that on Fiday
2m shares were bought and today over 2.75m
since M. Infante sold 5M last week.
None of the shares that have been bought are
over 6p and despite the large volume of buying
the SP has not moved an inch.

I have noted 11 buy transactions where 100K shares or more purchased at an average price of 5.94p. Also and very promising of the 41 buys made since 10am today the average buy was for 60,364 shares...... I agree that it very intresting that the sp hasn't moved an inch, surely the proportion on buys to sells today would have increased the sp. Not sure if the spread changed today, anyone got the figures?

Buys 2,752,468 - Sells 255,500 (bid 5.75 / offer 6.00 / mid 5.88). Now I would have thought if tomorrow brings simalar trading to today the bid and offer should increase by .25.... Lets wait and see....

1704 - 05 Sep 2005 19:44 - 131 of 276


The AMU and iii websites are showing the last 3 trades
today as 'sells' at 5.94p. The same price as many of the
'buys' today. Confused? Join the club.

Even more confusing is that they are both showing
a whopping 1p price spread. Ouch!

Bid 5.75p Ask 6.75p

1704 - 06 Sep 2005 11:50 - 132 of 276


Didn't someone on here last week suggest that
there could be news about a acquisition taking
place? Bearing in mind that AMU had made at
least one per year and the last was made in
October 2004. Cannot remember who it was
who suggested it but they have been proved
right with the RNS announcement released
today.

I reckon there could be a larger acquisition
being made before Xmas.

Air Music & Media Group plc
("Air Music" or "the Company")

Acquisition

Air Music has today agreed to acquire the entire issued share capital of Maximum
Entertainment Limited ("Maximum"), which owns the exclusive licence to duplicate
and distribute certain Jetix titles, which include such well know children's
brands as Transformers, Care Bears, Ninja Turtles and Action Man, by way of VHS
and DVD in the UK, Channel Irelands and Eire.

The aggregate consideration to be paid for Maximum is 379,000, consisting of
75,800 in cash consideration and 3,790,000 new ordinary shares of the Company
at a price of 8p per share. In certain circumstances, the vendors of Maximum may
be entitled to receive additional consideration in the form of new ordinary
shares, based on the difference between the average closing mid-market price of
ordinary shares of Air Music for the 5 business days ending on 28 February 2006
and 8p per share.

Other than the licence described above, Maximum does not have any other
significant assets.

John French, Chairman of Air Music commented:

"This acquisition and its additional products will serve to further enhance our
recently expanded distribution and product offer to our customer base, via our
strengthen routes to market."

Maximum Entertainment could prove to be an astute
buy considering recent research has suggested that
kids seem to prefer old characters such as Rupert
Bear, Post Man Pat etc. Good timing if you ask me
with the run up to Xmas.

I reckon the AGM will be worth attending anyone
else agree?

explosive - 06 Sep 2005 14:15 - 135 of 276

Hi 1704.

I've just been looking through Maximum Entertainments catelogue of childrens films and I totaly agree that these films will be an extreamly good asset to AMUs portfolio. Also these titles I believe will give AMU increased market share within the childrens film distribution market.

Just browsing through the catelogue brought back memories of cartoons I used to watch as a child which I thought were long lost, its abit like Star Wars where the following is more adult......

The Marvel section should prove a great asset as over the years many of the old cartoons have been turned into films.... Look at all the Spiderman DVD cartoons released with the film!! An excellent play by AMUs board and great timing too!!

The AGM will also be very much worth attending, this latest acquistion is very nice to see and backs their 29th July RNS regarding board change stratergy. Mark Frey must be feeling very pleased with himself and this acquisition, no doubt further growth will follow in AMU and the sp...

1704 - 06 Sep 2005 16:31 - 138 of 276


Explosive-Thanks for your posts.

Agree with the points you raised about the Maximum Entertainment
acquisition today. AMU should be able to increase their future
profitability with children's brands such as the Transformers,
Care Bears, Ninja Turtles and Action Man. Sooner or later the
'City' will give this company the rating it deserves and we just
have to remain patient (easier said than done for me at times).

Pleased to that the buying has continued today and shares are
now being bought for over 6p. Hopefully, AMU may get some
coverage in the financial press over the next few days and some
more investors/punters may come on aboard.

1704 - 06 Sep 2005 16:41 - 139 of 276


I'm of the opinion that AMU will be making another
announcement of an acquisition before Xmas. The
acquisition today looks good value when you take
into account what the company paid for the exclusive
liscense rights for all those well known children's brands.
The last acquisition for Redworth Ltd was for 37m and
which makes today's acquisition very small in comparison.
I'm pleased I have decided to hold onto these shares
they could be worth a lot more within the next two years
if profit forecasts are met and the 'City' gives it a fairer
rating of the company's true worth.

explosive - 06 Sep 2005 17:40 - 140 of 276

1704 - Agree completely with your posts. Yes the aquisition is smaller than previous aquisitions, so yes another one would follow the trend. I have been looking at AMUs different sites both music and film. What puzzels me is that with the current drive to mp3 and mp4 AMU haven't captured the potential of possible electronic sales through download. Over the past year I have seen the drive of both mp3 and media players, the number of systems increases every month.

So far I have only found Going For A Song Ltd which is looking to be able to process online orders due early 2006.

Would you not agree that a electronic distribution aquisition, investment or out-sorcing deal is now required to maximise sales potential?

Good points you raised in your last post. I've been having

to do so.

1704 - The more I look at AMUs balance sheet the more I'm convinced that AMU isn't attracting attention and further investment due to the high proportion of debtors held. 11.28m, just over a third of nets assets, cash in hand and in the bank is 3.58m. Debtors in relation to '05 turnover is just over a whopping fifth, why?

Been having problems with the IT Network System used in the office
for the last 2-3 weeks. Therefore, everyone has had problems logging
onto the internet.

The market seems to be quiet today but pleased to see a couple of 100k
'buys' going through. Was wondering whether the 1.6m 'sell' yesterday was
M. Infante again. No RNS yet so maybe not?

Just been looking on the BBC Website I've just seen an interesting

The interim results should be announced around the end of November

Evening All!

Thanks to Wilbs just discovered another website
for useful info on the small cap sector. Will be
using it from now on. Having studied the report
in more detail I think Hoodless Brennan&Partners
were right to rate AMU as a 'Speculative Buy'.

The report rightly raises the concerns about
the large number of shares issued as one of
the weaknesses.
'In-built dilution of 100m shares to be issued in
2006 in part payment for Music Box Ltd'.
The second to last paragraph also raises
the possibility of future equity raising being
a possibility to fund acquisitions and cut
debts.

However, the report also points out the main
reasons why I am willing to hold onto this
share for the long-term.

'Redworth acquisition will transform AMU'.

'2005 Finals solid performance continues'.

I also fully agree with the points summarised
in the 'Speculative Buy' recommendation.

Would like to hear others comments on this
report.

All the Best

1704 - Not read the report yet. However have been looking at the RNS for Maximun Entertainment Ltd Acquisition posted earlier my myself. Total consideration for company is 379,000 payable by 75,800 cash and 3,790,000 shares valuing shares at 8p each. Current share price offer is 6.25p. On the basis of this acquisition the share price is currently undervalued.... We have also seen trading volumes increase over the past few days.... Need I say anymore.

I think the share price has been undervalued for months.
Seymour Pierce earlier in the year put a valuation of
approx 13p/per share. AMU has a lot of things going
for it but luck isn't one of them. Hopefully, for long
suffering share holders better times are ahead?

This is the latest from RHPS.

AIR MUSIC & MEDIA (AMU): In line with its strategy of
acquiring content to push down its own distribution
channels, Air Music has acquired Maximum Entertainment
Limited. Maximum owns the exclusive licence to
duplicate titles, including such children's favourites
as Care Bears, Ninja Turtles and Action Man, by way of
VHS and DVD in the UK, Channel Irelands and Eire. Air
Music is paying 75,800 in cash and is giving the
vendors 3,790,000 new shares. Interestingly these were
valued at 8p for the purposes of this deal, which
suggests that the current share price is too low. HOLD.

Air Music & Media Group plc

('Air Music' or 'the Company' or 'the Group')

Hollywood DVD Limited

The Board of Air Music announces today that it has ceased to provide funding to
one of its UK subsidiaries, Hollywood DVD Limited, and have appointed
administrators to manage an exit from that business. This follows as part of the
strategic review announced in July this year and the decision to exit the
business reflects the continuing poor performance in its budget DVD business.
Hollywood DVD Limited had net assets of 0.1 million at 31 March 2005.

The Group results for the year ended 31 March 2005 reflected a 2.1 million
impairment charge in respect of the goodwill arising on acquisition of Hollywood
DVD Limited. The audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2005
and the auditors' report thereon were finalised before the decision to exit the
business was taken. The half year Group results to 30 September 2005 are
expected to reflect a charge of 0.3 million both in the form of trading losses
and the remaining investment value write off.

The Board announced on Tuesday 6 September 2005 that it had taken measures to
refocus the Group's DVD activities through the acquisition of Maximum
Entertainment Limited, which owns the exclusive licence to duplicate and
distribute certain Jetix titles in the UK, Channel Irelands and Eire, including
such well known children's brands as Transformers, Care Bears, Ninja Turtles and
Action Man.

The announcement did a lot for the share price didn't it ?
(I suppose it was on it's way down anyway)..

Pants all round this morning !

I guess Sept/Oct are not traditionally good months for equities... it's no different this year.. need to wait for Nov and beyond for equties in general (&AMU) to recover !

explosive - 12 Sep 2005 13:40 - 161 of 276

Skyhigh - Look at the big picture, DVD bundling was profitable when DVD players first came out to help sell the product. Nowadays with DVD player prices so low the additional bundle isn't selling the product especially as in general DVDs have become cheaper. Lets face it Hollywood DVDs titles are crap!!! I've looked at them and many films are either non hits or very old which lets face it apart from an actor enthusiast who wants to buy them? You spot the old classic in the range cos I couldn't find one!!

I think this is a good move by AMU to cut their losses and move on to sellable products. At least with titles held by Maximum Entertainment Ltd they are sellable. Old cartoon titles especially the high fantasy ones never go out of fashion, well not until the movie has been made anyway. I would for one be more worried about the board if they were unable to make this call.

Regarding the announcement of a PR I'm very pleased. Been moaning about the lact of announcements from AMU for soooooooooo long now. About time and thankfully with Hollywood DVD out the way AMUs PR can consentrate on marketing products which people do want to buy.

Wilbs - Big thankyou for the postings.
1704 - Won't be able to make an AGM, start new job on the 26th so time off will not be easy!!

regarding the two RNS. However, from past mistakes I've
stopped trying to predict when the share price will move
upwards. Fingers crossed it will be soon.

Agree with the points you raised about Hollywood DVD and
still laugthing about the points you raised about the crap
DVD titles. Personally, I am pleased to see they have taken
action to ditch this loss maker. Be interesting to see if they
can make Maximum Entertainment the money spinner I reckon
it is. As for Redleaf the less said the better.
Good luck with the new job.

Wilbs-
I've stopped reading RHPS with regards to AMU for several
months now. Been disappointed for several weeks/months
over the poor coverage given to AMU. His most recent
comments are a joke and does not tell us anything.

explosive - 12 Sep 2005 15:46 - 164 of 276

1704 - Totaly agree with the RHPS view, TB has made some very bad calls recently Stanelco sell then buy back the next month being one of them. I'm considering cancelling my membership as the issue isn't of the quality it once was.

Regarding Redleaf I don't share your view, the Redleaf PR deal I think is the first step for Redleaf to understand AMU. Redleaf also have clients such as Somerfield, Finsbury Food, MonsterMob & Retail Decisions.
Once Redleaf start working with AMU we could possibly see the Sales and Distribution side of AMU brought out of the dark ages with Redleaf designing and managing AMUs website and PR relations. I'm thinking on-line ordering facility and downloads. Whats your opionion?

Skyhigh - The SP is frustrating, agreed, I bout in at just under the 8p mark so am as concerned as you are. However AMU need to start getting with the times, they have made a good aquisition in Maximum Entertainment, appointed a PR whos yet to perform. All we need now is distribution into the market for AMU to become a leader. The board is making the required changes and the SP is very undervalued if you look at the recent aquisition valuing the SP at 8p.

Some would sell and move onto pastures green but for me I think the board are still hungry and will turn this decline around.....

1704 - 12 Sep 2005 17:21 - 165 of 276


Explosive-Thanks for your post.

Fully in agreement with you regarding TB and RHPS. Stanelco
is a good example, that you picked out. I think he is losing his
touch and like you may cancel my membership. I have sent
a couple of e-mails to him this year asking him why he does
not cover the stock as much as other's in his portfolio? I
have not found his service as customer friendly as other tip
sheet services I subscribe with.

With regards to Redleaf. You've lost me here. Didn't the RNS
announced today confirm that AMU have hired Bishopsgate
Communications as a PR Adviser I took that to mean that Redleaf
Communications have been given the 'boot'? Was looking
foward to having a drink to that tonight after seeing the value
of my investment plummet since they were hired. Not sure
why AMU would need 2 PR Advisers?

Agree with the points you made about the share price despite
today's slump. I reckon the share price will rebound before the
end of the week and have a feeling some large buyer/s have put
in 'buy order'.

explosive - 12 Sep 2005 18:03 - 166 of 276

1704 - Doah!!!! You are correct and Redleaf have indeed been given the boot for Bishopsgate Communications Ltd...... Anyone have any info on this PR company e.g. who they are part of etc.??

1704 - 12 Sep 2005 19:10 - 167 of 276


Explosive

Don't be too hard on yourself yet. It's just that when I
read through the RNS I took it to mean that Bishopsgate
were taking over from Redleaf. The RNS does not confirm
this but I am hoping it does happen. Although Redleaf may
have done/and is doing good PR work with other companies
it just has not happened with AMU for reasons I have no
idea about. Please note I am looking at this from the view
of where the share price was when Redleaf was appointed
to where the Share Price is today.

Ouch! It makes painful viewing the share price chart this
year doesn't it? I just hope between AMU and Bishopsgate
they come up with a PR Strategy that works.
Personally this investment has been a disaster for me this
year and am looking now for the shares to start fufilling their
promise. I keep telling myself it will come good eventually
and to hold for the long-term but its not easy when you have
observed it continue to fall and fall.

All the Best

Evening All

Explosive-Thanks for your earlier post

Been working hard for once and away from my desk.
Good thing as well had a bit of a shock when I saw
the AMU share price this morning on Bloomberg TV
in fact it nearly put me off my fry-up and mug of
coffee.

Good to see the share price has rallied back a bit
hope to see the same thing for the rest of the week.

explosive - 13 Sep 2005 18:12 - 177 of 276

1704 - Indeed the share price is looking better, the market seams to have welcomed recent events. I have a feeling though we're set for furhter upset. The RHPS portfolio isn't performing very well at the moment and is starting to become a little long. Have a gut feeling that TB will pull the plug on AMU before the month is out. Anyway I'm in for the long hall.. Heres why and why I today increased my holding....

I been looking for distributors of animated films and cartoons, Amazon are probally number 1 at the moment and have a full online purchasing system stocking just about everything. Question, is Amazon a competitor to AMU or are they just a distributor? I think distributor and will inevitably have to come to some arrangement with AMU with regard to the exclusive license to duplicate and distribute certain Jetix titles such as the brands Transformers, Care Bears, Ninja Turtles and Action Man DVDs that it stocks and sells by way of DVD and VHS in the UK, Channel Irelands and Eire. ((Now breath))

This means that essentially companies such as established Amazon in a way will take care of the sales side for AMU under the exclusive lisence held by Maximum aquired by AMU.

Now check out the below site........

http://www.thezreview.co.uk/comingsoon/t/transformers.htm

Very intresting don't you think, 4th July 2007 release date for Transformers the movie (This should help just a tad with marketing)... Although sales of the actual movie won't do anything for AMU the re-lived Transformer buzz should help sell the old cartoon DVDs especially if kiddies take to the movie and want more!! Amazon and many others are well placed to supply, AMU have the exclusive license to duplicate and distribute... Sounds good doesn't it... 's....

Any feedback would be appreciated or maybe not it I'm barking up the wrong tree here (yet again may I add)....

Evening All

First the bad news. Seymour Pierce yesterday downgraded
AMU to 'hold' from 'buy'. Probably explains the large volume
of selling yesterday. You can read yesterdays small companies
report on This is Money website.
http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/investing-and-markets.

Still despite the downgrade good to see more investors taking
advantage of the bargain share price today.

Explosive- Thanks for your post. Cheered me up
and got me doing the 'moonwalk' and robot
dance I'm so excited.

Just clicked on to the website address that you gave and I'm
happy I did. I had a feeling the acquisition of Maximum
Entertainment would be a money spinner and now I can see
why. Transformers the movie I cannot wait. I can see as
many pound signs as you can. Happy to grit my teeth with
AMU for a few more years yet.

All the Best

1704 - Glad to see that you also share my perception of where this looks like its going... You have good cause to be excited too as I believe Tom DeSanto and Don Murphy are producing the movie.... They did Xmen, Xmen2 and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, all in my personal DVD collection!! This means the movie should get a good Hollywood style budget and be very good..

Now I wonder if they had anything to do also with the current Citroen adverts where the car changes into a robot and struts its stuff... Timing of this set of ads with Transformers the movie next year, is there a relation to maybe test the market or just another ad I wonder!!......

All your opionions would be very useful or any further info site that can found. There are loads talking about the movie however post the best ones on this thread please.

Maybe also plans for some of AMUs other cartoons to be made into future fims. Would definatly follow the recent Marvel trend which has seen before the film release the old animated cartoons hit the high street and online suppliers..

Pleased to see Steven Spielberg is involved in the 'Transformer'
Movie as Executive Producer. If AMU play their cards right with
the acquisition of Maximum Entertainment the 5m plus profit
forecasts for 2006 and 2007 look low to me. In fact I intend to
hold onto these shares until 2008-2009. After reading about the
'Transformers' Movie the shares look more than a 'Ten Bagger'
to me. Unfortunately, if you were to walk around the City of
London today saying that now you would probably be escorted
off to Rampton Hospital for psychiatric help.

In fact I'm going mad trying to work out why these shares are
so unloved and rated so low. Hoping better days are ahead they
certainly should be.

1704 - Agree 100%, the shares are unloved but until recently the media AMU had been selling was in a nut shell crap!! Look at the music also, not really anything I'd buy, take one look in any music store and the easy listening section is the smallest telling me the market must also me small. I'd like to see this change or cut lose as with Hollywood DVD, be very intrested to see just how much revenue comes from the sale of music they lisence and distribute!!

The new Maximum DVD side of the business however should now start picking up as lets face it they have obtained alot of animated classics. The Avengers will always be remembered and could well become a movie yet again. Captain America massive franchise movie ruined by 90's bad acting along with the Fantastic Four recently remade is due a box office hit. King Arthur not long been out as a movie but adult theme takes it away from the animated roots. Theres also Huckleberry Finn, that would make a good kiddies movie. Check out this link, very interesting when you start looking at the future potential regarding

http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1500962/04282005/story.jhtml

Now with Christmas coming up the seasonal sales boost for these animated cartoons should benefit AMUs share price. Fingers crossed....

Explosive-Thanks for your post.

I agree with you regarding the products of Hollywood DVD
as not very good hence the poor sales figures/profits.
However, I have a copy of the music catalogue and it is
very impressive catering for all types of music tastes
from the 1950's to the present day. Let's not forget
AMU cater for the middle aged market and this age group
like to remember the music they were into when they
were younger.

You've lost me with comments about the Avengers, Captain
Ameruica, the Fantastic Four and Huckleberry Finn have AMU
got liscensing rights to market these as well? Will check on
the mtv.com website earlier.

Agree with you about the Xmas seasons AMU should be able
to cash in on the children's brands during this period which
should result in an upbeat trading statement being released
early next year.

Leaving the office will get back to you later.

1704 - They sure have, have a look at Maximum Entertainments catalogue link below.

http://www.maximumentertainment.co.uk/catalogue.html

Regarding the music I suppose I was a little harsh, not realy my taste and the mordernish section of there catelogue is limited and dated. Do you know if they supply these titles directly to customers or through distribution outlets such as Amazon online? Also does AMU for these titles have exclusive copying and distribution rights within the UK?

1704 - 14 Sep 2005 19:30 - 184 of 276


Explosive-Thanks for your post

Just viewed the Maximum Entertainment Website and
cannot believe the deal that AMU have just completed.

AMU are sitting on a goldmine here with liscensing rights
to Captain America (used to be a Marvel comic reader
myself back in the day), The Avengers, Iron Man, Mighty
Thor etc. They have even got 'Dennis the Menace (Any
used to read the Beano comic?) and Conan.

This acquisition just gets better and better the more I
think about it.

I picked up a AMU catalogue from Mark Frey the CEO in
June or July 05 when I met him. Don't ask me how I managed
to carry it home. It is massive book and contains different
artists albulms in all categories of music. For example, Rock
and Roll, Reggae, Soul, R&B, Blues, Gospel, Hip-Hop etc.
Don't forget AMU cater for the over 40's and sell their products
to over 55 countries. If you look on their website they usually
have pictures of Elvis Presley, Glenn Miller and Bob Marley.
That says everything because they are not targeting the
younger music buyers. I'm not sure about the answers
to the questions you raised.

After viewing the website it makes it even more baffling
why the market has not reacted more favourably to the
acquisition. I can see larger sales and profits being made
in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Hopefully, large share price rises
and dividend payments as well. Sound too good to be true?
I hope not.

Logging off now to see a proper British club playing in the
Champions League. Rooney, Rooney, Rooney.

skyhigh - 15 Sep 2005 08:13 - 185 of 276

AMU's share price is a bit like Rooney's performance/behaviour.. well off beam. Awesome talent but doesn't know what to do to control it !

1704 - 15 Sep 2005 11:19 - 186 of 276


Skyhigh-I'm one of Rooney's biggest fans but cannot defend
his actions last night. Very silly what he did especially to that
particular referee. David Beckham would agree (1998 World Cup
against Argentina).

Been on the blower to Neville Registrars (Tel:0121 585 1131)

The AGM will be taking place at 10am on 23rd Sept 2005 at

1704 - Hope you enjoyed looking at Maximums catelogue..... What I was getting in earlier threads with the MTV link to support was the fact that in recent years many of the old comic book titles have been made into movies. OK quite a few have already been done but for every title that Maximum have that are made into movies (good or bad) the title receives a marketing boost with the film release.

1704 - 15 Sep 2005 14:19 - 189 of 276


Exposive-Thanks for your post.

I reckon this acquisition will prove to be even more
profitable than Redworth within a short period of
time. Companies such as Entertainment Rights are
doing very well at the moment from kiddies old
favourites like 'Rupert the Bear' so AMU should
also be able to do well.

Good business deal completed at approx 10%
of the cost AMU paid for Redworth. Mind you
considering that AMU does business with over
55 countries I wonder who owns the liscensing rights
for these children's brands outside of the UK
and Channel Islands?

1704 - Thanks for your post.

Very good point regarding overseas rights to this media, if we also had the US and Chinese rights this would be a right gold mine!! Having said that I still think the Maximum aquisition is the best AMU have pulled out the hat yet. I keep looking for a catch as I would have thought Maximum was worth alot more than AMU agreed to purchase for!

Having said this AMU could always franchise the rights on different titles. This could be highly profitable for AMU as the franchisee would be obliged to front cost of sales expenses. e.g. marketing & sales beneficial to AMU also in the long run....

Lets wait an see what happens, what PR publicity they get from Bishopsgate.

1704 - 15 Sep 2005 19:13 - 191 of 276


Explosive

Agree with you I reckon they have grabbed a bargain deal
with this acquisition. Maximum had only been operating since
2004 and so AMU managed to buy it a relatively small price
(considering the future profit growth potential). I reckon AMU
will concentrate on making these smaller type of deals instead of
larger deals such as Redeworth for 37m.

It is a pity they have not got liscense rights for the USA and Asian
markets but they should still be able to make a lot of profits within the UK
and Channel Islands.

Apart from Videos and DVD sales there are so many
other types of deals they can do with the brand names.

I just hope Bishopsgate do a better job than Redleaf.

Logging off now.

Apologies for being the provider of bad news but .. just picked this up from the RHPS weekly alert released earlier tonite
Not good !
Lets hope all downside is already in the price drop.
Tom Bulford is often wrong....

AIR MUSIC & MEDIA GROUP (AMU): Air Music has appointed
a new PR adviser, who will have his work cut out,
because recent news has been discouraging. It has
decided to close down its Hollywood DVD business at a
cost of 0.3m to add to the 2.1m write-down in the
annual accounts. Broker Seymour Pierce has trimmed its
profit forecasts for 2006 and 2007 and although the
rating of the shares is very low, this is all rather
discouraging. Since I also fear that AMU is losing out
to new forms of video and music distribution, SELL.

peeyam - 16 Sep 2005 09:26 - 193 of 276

I think this is a good level to get in, any opinion guys

skyhigh - 16 Sep 2005 09:38 - 194 of 276

Yep, I think so too... if I had funds available that it..

Skyhigh and Peeyam - The RHPS sell isn't any shock, in earlier posts I advised that I thought TB would sell either this week or in the Oct issue. Both myself and 1704 are holding shares which we both believe are good value. TBs recent remarks on AMU are very contridictory, but nice to see investors making up their own mind on AMU.

With the RHPS sale the shares are a snatch. And great value for money. As you'r probally already aware these won't pickup much in the immediate future however 2006 will be the time the shares start to move!!

Not sure why TB thinks AMU are losing out to new forms of distribution, apart from download to mp3/4 there distribution channels are very good.

All - My last day working at IBM so may be off line now for a week or two. Am planning to purchase a laptop next week and bb conection. Once up and running I'll be back!!

Let AMUs media speak for itself when judging TB, distribution isnt the be all or end all especially when AMU own the rights!! I think your latest judgement has made my mind up and I'll be cancelling my RHPS subscription. Yet another loss for all RHPS subscribers, how many more will you deliver before the years out? Change shouldn't scare you especially when its for the better!!

1704 - 16 Sep 2005 11:10 - 198 of 276


Skyhigh

It was only a matter of time before RHPS had this as a
'sell'. Just surprised he took so long considering he has
hardly made any comments on AMU over the last year.
He had AMU as a 'buy' with a buy limit of 9p and price
target of 14p for over a year and rated it as low risk.
Oh yeah pull the other one Tom. Call it sour grapes if
you want but I reckon the standards of tips has fallen
over the last 6 months and I won't be renewing my
subscription. The best and most balanced report I
have read about AMU this year is the one pointed by
Wilbs (last week) by Hoodless Brennan and Partners
which rates this as a 'Speculative Buy'.

1704 - 16 Sep 2005 11:19 - 199 of 276


Peeyam

Welcome on board. I think you have bought a
decent amount for a bargain price. That is
if you are prepared to 'hold' onto the shares for
some time. I've always looked at these shares
as a 2-3 years hold and despite the useless
performance this year that view has not changed.
The only people to make money out of these shares
this year are the 'shorters' but it will not last forever.
The shares are currently 'out-of-favour' but will
eventually bounce back. I'm confident after the
AGM next week we will be hearing the board confirm
plans for a share consolidation and another Broker
firm covering this stock. Both things need to happen
if this share is going to start moving upwards.

All the Best

explosive - 16 Sep 2005 16:06 - 200 of 276

1704 - Here here, agree !00% with your last post and wilbs report on speculative buy. TB is a nonsense merchant, one minute its buy at low risk the next its hold and sell. Why? Wheres the real reason for the decision, if its because recent reviews are discouraging then thats business. Whats really changed and why doesn't the figures or board add up when they did six months ago..

As Investors RHPS is a guide, nothing more, I'll expect TB will anounce a buy on AMU in July 2006 anyway. I do recommend however that if you subscribe you email TB and ask him why the change of heart. No doubt you'll receive a system or drone message back as I have on countless occasions.

Anyway I'm off, have a good weekend all and I'll catch up with you all in a week or two!!

1704 - 16 Sep 2005 16:51 - 201 of 276


Explosive- Thanks for your post

Agree with the points raised about TB the less I say about
him the better. However, to be fair to him I'm also
annoyed that Seymour Pierce downgraded these to a
'hold' after two months ago announcing the results
as excellent. TB also made positive comments about
the results two months ago.
The AGM has come at just the right time the Directors
better have some good answers to the questions that
will be asked.

Have a good weekend

mackem - 20 Sep 2005 08:47 - 203 of 276

3.84p to buy online....is this a great bargain or is the chart saying
something is very wrong or is there some kind of fundraising on the
cards ?

mackem - 20 Sep 2005 10:34 - 204 of 276

If i was holding i would be nervous, the penny share market has
taken a turn for the worse, mention the word placing and any stock
will get hammered, i cannot actually see anything wrong with Amu
so why does it keep falling, 3.85p didnt tempt anybody so now it's
3.75p and despite a few nibbles the online size has increased from
100k to 150k to buy, rumours suggest a very large holder who did
sell 5 million a while back is/might be wanting out.
As i write the offer is back to 4p.
When they get this low it turns out to be pure gambling.

A : Nothing is wrong at all, the company confirms it and the stock quickly
recovers back to a reasonable share price.
B : The share price is being dragged down by a desperate seller, a M Infante
wanting out, holding many millions he alone could force the price down a lot.
C : The company is looking to raise more capital for reasons unknown.

It's your choice....lots of iffs and butts !

Skyhigh the price will recover. Because RHPS sold the share the market maker would have reduced the share price. This reduction isn't sustainable in the short term and so will recover. The reduced share price is to protect the share and company as all thoses RHPS investors sell out.... Don't be fooled by this, let the sheep follow suit and wait... I believe that this share will pay out in 2006/7.

AIR MUSIC & MEDIA GROUP PLC
("Air Group" or "the Company")

AGM Statement

At today's Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of Air Group, the UK publisher and
distributor of value entertainment to over 55 countries, where all of the
resolutions were duly passed, Chairman, John French, made the following
comments:

"Before I begin addressing the formal part of today's meeting, I would like to
re-affirm that underlying trading in the Company remains positive and the
business is performing well with the Management team targeting and harnessing
their respective skills.

It is the belief of the Board that the recent fall in share price has, in part,
been due to the relative lack of communication, market awareness and
understanding of the business. The Board is addressing this situation in several
ways to clearly communicate the Company's differentiating factors and strengths
compared to its quasi-comparable players in the sector. The Company has
appointed specialist Public Relations consultancy Bishopsgate Communications
Ltd and the Board will continue to work closely with its broker Seymour Pierce,
which has recently become a market maker in the stock, and will be
investigating ways in which to further market the stock to the investment
community.

The Group, moving forward, is primarily focused on the distribution of a full
range of entertainment titles. This is supported by the publishing arm which
provides propietory titles which are not chart orientated and consequently risk
adverse.

I would finally like to announce that the Board is currently trialing new
initiatives to new customers, and I look to the future of the business with
confidence."

Like skyhigh I've lost too much to 'sell up' now I've been
holding on waiting for the bounce back up. This has to be
the worst investment I have ever made. AMU has a lot of

still waiting to see that reflected in the share price.

Anyway hasn't Seymore Pierce recently become a 'market maker' if so the share price reflects a broker protecting the sell volume by reducing the share price!! (A good time to buy maybe!!) What I find interesting at the moment is this;

26/09/2006 AGM

"I would finally like to announce that the Board is currently trialing new

Now to me that only means one thing, distribution right at the seansons peak time for DVD sales Christmas.... Anyone done any digging or know anything?????

Now we all know whats installed for next year when a certain movie ramps up and helps the old cartoon DVD sales in Maximum... But to fully expoit this situation AMU have to achieve great market saturation of their DVD's!! I have noticed whilst food shopping the Supermarkets are stocking popular cartoons, maybe this is what AMU are referring to..... With Speilbergs Transformers the movie coming to set I guess AMU will decide who gets to sell the original cartoons that, I would have thought will hit the shops just before the film trailers hit our sets.....

Thanks for your post. This will probably be the last one from
me until the Interim Results next month. I should think quite
a few of us want to ensure that the AGM statement (trading is going well)
is actually reflected in the interim results. I think a lot of us
got caught out with the notorious Jan 2005 Trading Statement
which built up expectations ahead of the July 05 results before
Hollwood DVD problems were announced.

The 'City' is now sceptical of announcements from AMU and needs
to be convinced that the company can deliver. The PR work has
been poor throughout the year and AMU has not made it clear
that Redworth actually took over AMU in a reverse takeover and
not the other way around. The Redworth Management Team now
own over 40% of the company and are now in charge of the day-to-
day operations with Mark Frey in charge of Acquisitions and Product
Development. The July 05 results would have been even worse
without the 6 months contribution from Redworth. The interims will
show the 12 months trading performance.

The company should change its name from AMU and now call itself
'Air Group' or Redworth. The name AMU is misleading because it is
not a music or media company. Following the reverse takeover it
also has a new management team with a proven track record of
achieving rising sales and profits. The PR problem comes from the
fact that they have not got this message across.

Despite the hype about this company and its growth potential
the share price has continued to fall. I want to see the Interim
figures before making anymore comments.

As normal with our lovely AIM stocks is the time it takes to tell
joe public that Mr Infante has sold a considerable sum.
23 days before the company is informed, i mean in theory he could
have sold the rest (9.75mil) and will inform the company when or
if he feels like it, a die hard would have to go through all of this months
trade data to see if any more large block sales have gone through
although you would think he would have said on the 20th if he had sold
any more since October but you just cannot trust anybody thesedays
where AIM stocks and their large holders are concerned.
Like Touch, one to watch for when the big seller is totally cleared, if MI
still holds just under 10 mil it's wont take long to find a buyer soon so
keep your eyes open for a big cross trade or 2 large trades that first appear
as a rollover but are actually a sell and buy with commission only to the
market maker who does the deal.

Mackem I fail to see your point. I would like however to know who paid 4p for 10.250m shares on the 22/09.... There are 506.89m AMU shares in issue and a trade of 10.250m represents around 2% ownership.

mackem - 28 Oct 2005 12:21 - 219 of 276

Those shares could have been sold via a worked order so maybe not
just one buyer put lots of smaller buyers.

One thing that always annoys me in a stock is when a mm sells stock
or buys stock to take out a certain price but is not prepared to move
up or down to that price, a mm sells 3.25p so why do they not move
to 3.25p offer if they want to sell stock ?

skyhigh - 28 Oct 2005 12:30 - 220 of 276

However you look at it - mms always win out and we get stitched up one way or another. I was done up like a kipper on this one (mainly thanks to RHPS!)....
These things go in cycles so will wait untill market sentiment is better and there has been some good news with AMU to allow the SP to recover to somewhere where I got in (8.25p)... I think the sp will go down a bit more, say, sub 3p to buy.. If they do I might even top up !

explosive - 28 Oct 2005 22:02 - 221 of 276

Skyhigh - I think you just hit the nail on the head there. I was listened to RHPS and didn't bother to do much of my own research.... I know me own fault... I think my confidence is now falling faster than the sp. Currently I'm debating on taking the loss and moving on as I think shares such as Griffin Mining will make my money back quicker then waiting for AMU.

I am also consious that AMU has creditors due within 1 yr of 22.63 against current assets of 0.22 and money in the bank of 3.58. We've seen very little publicity or news regarding sales or forecasted sales. The only way AMU can meet their creditor figure is through raising money issuing further shares which will only compound their current sp position.

Failing that as 1704 stated we need assurance that trading is going well, who is actully running the company AMU or Redworth? Personally I'd also like assurance AMU are not in the middle of a management power struggle...

mackem - 04 Nov 2005 11:25 - 222 of 276

I did take advantage of winterfloods going out on a limb when
they dropped it to 3.25p offer to pick up a very small amount
of stock for 3.12p mid price which was very generous on Wednesday.
Not interested in making half a pence on these, i just think that
it's worth having a small nibble everytime the offer gets below
3.3p because at some point this M Infante overhang is going to
get cleared, remember he kept it quiet and left it for almost a
month to disclose he had sold several million so he could well be
doing it again, i dont want to risk being offline when a very large
cross trade goes through and he has sold out completely because
it will happen at some point because he looks intent on selling completely
or a sudden announcement is made that he has sold up.
Still a risky play, cannot really make accurate judgements to how well
the business is performing, i like to think at 3p however the stock is good value.

Hollywood DVD was left to go into administration and I got the feeling AMU is going the same way.... Can't think of any other reason why the board have kept quiet with the ongoing sp landslide. I can't imagine there will be any announcement nw until end of Jan '06. Keeping a close eye on our products route to market as xmas is when trade is best for AMU...

1704 - 11 Nov 2005 11:43 - 228 of 276


Explosive

The AGM Statement does not back up your view that AMU is
going into administration like one its subsidiaries (Hollywood DVD).

All eyes are on the Interim Results which are expected to be
released at the end of this month with a updated Broker Note.

The July 05 results showed the performance of the Redworth
subsidiaries over a 6 months period which were impressive.
The Interims will show the performance of Redworth over
a 1 year period. I believe we have a rare case of a profitable
company with a good management team but a share price
which does not reflect this. The sooner Michael Infante
sells his remaining shares and clears the stock overhang the
better.

I think it is sensible to wait for the Interims and Broker Note
before drawing a conclusion on these.

explosive - 14 Nov 2005 19:57 - 229 of 276

If true 1704 then very rare is an understatement... More like a dinosar in modern times find....

All the same I'll staying in, too much lost to venture on else where. Curious also as this share makes little sense

1704 - 15 Nov 2005 11:05 - 230 of 276


Explosive

I think a few of us are in the same position as you regarding
''staying in, too much to venture on else where''. The share
price indeed makes little sense.

It is interesting to note that last week the FSA took action against
a couple of Directors whom issued a trading statement that was
deliberately misleading. The recent AGM Statement by AMU informed
us that underlying trading was going well and if the interims do not
correspond with that statement I believe the Directors should have
a case to answer for.
Personally, I think the Interims should be quite good but I am expecting
to hear the results of the recent Strategic Review (Cost Cuts being
identified) especially after the Hollywood DVD problems.
A few discussion boards (ADVFN, iii) have been speculating that AMU is
going bust because of the falling share price and the Hollywood DVD
write off. However, I don't believe there is any truth in this rumour.
Hollywood DVD made up less than 10% of the turnover last year and
I think the market has greatly over-reacted to the subsidiary (one of
many that makes up the Air Group).
I'm expecting a tick up after the interims and believe if the marketing
of Maximum Entertainment products goes well the loss of sales from
Hollywood DVD will be overcome. I think things look okay for 2007 and
2008. My advice (which I am following is to hold).

explosive - 15 Nov 2005 22:51 - 231 of 276

1704 - Thanks for your post. Normally I would agree with you however the directors haven't been entirely honest with their trading statement which failed to identify or acknowledge problems with Holywood DVD or costs requiring attention.

I believe that it is the fact that the board have kept quiet and kept shareholders from the news which is the true reason the sp has fallen. Even if interims are good the damage has been done and the board lost credability within the city. Should the board remain this will be timely to recover. I think a shuffle in the ranks is coming, the share shows the signs of a power struggle.

AMU needs leadership thats trusted and with the current board its signals aren't clear. I agree with your hold but only as I'm down 62% on this share and think a recovery will come with the products aquired in the Maximum Entertainment aquisition. Should no direction be found and improvement to the boards image not gained the sp will surely slip futher. This ultimatly will result in AMU being aquired by another or left for the vultures.

1704 - 16 Nov 2005 17:38 - 232 of 276

Explosive-Thanks for your post but have to disagree with a few
of your points.

I think what is largely to blame for the share price slump is the
Jan 05 Trading Statement which was very positive and upbeat
raising expectations in the City that the July 05 Results would
be excellent. No body outside the AMU Board forsaw the problems with
Hollywood DVD and the Directors should have communicated this
prior to the results. The share price has continued to slump since
the results because of the downgrade from 'buy' to 'hold' from
Seymour Pierce in Sept 05 which also slashed 2m plus from its profit
forecasts. The selling of 22m shares by Michael Infante (a former
Director and co-founder of AMU) has not helped and tip sheets
like Red Hot Penny Shares recommending these as a 'sell' in
September have all contributed to the negative sentiment.

It is not difficult for companies to gain back credibility in the
'City' as long as they can convince the market that the company
has a future. Which is why I am content to wait and see what
figures are in the interims.
A restructure of the AMU Board has already taken place this year
and has resulted with the resignations of Michael Infante and
Ruth Salsbury. Trevor Allan and Mark Frey are co CEO's. A strategic
review has been carried out since July 05 and I expect to hear plans
for cost cuts after the Interims. I'm also expecting to see Bishopsgate
start earning their fees.
Communication is the main thing that needs to improve with AMU and
they don't need to waste money hiring PR companies like Redleaf
or Bishopsgate to use common sense. A small British company that exports
products to 55 countries worldwide from a Distribution Centre is a great
story to tell. My frustration comes from the fact that they don't tell it.
As soon as they start to tell it these shares will zoom!

The market has over-reacted to the Hollywood DVD problems
which was brought about by the company itself issuing that
notorious Jan 05 Trading Statement and not making us aware
of the problems until the July 05 results.
AMU as a group is made up of 6-10 different subsidiaries and
although one of the subsidiaries has been put into administration
it does not follow that the whole company is in a financial mess
and about to go bankrupt. In fact it is silly to come to that
conclusion after reading the July 05 results and the recent
AGM statement.
This share price is long overdue a re-rating and will get it if the
Interims do not have any hidden nasties/further suprises and
the mms start dealing us a fair hand.

In a fair world we would have seen a sustained upwards
movement yesterday after the series of 'buys' but as for
most of the year the MMs are preventing this. Where as
a small 'sell' order of 10k will make this share price drop
by 10% no matter what volume of 'buys' go through the
share price does not budge.
I've been observing this for month and until this issue is
addressed the share price will not reflect its true worth.
Personally, I think the behaviour of the MMs should be
looked at by the FSA especially with regards to the
regular wide price spreads.

Pleased I will be away for a couple of weeks after today
the behaviour of the MMs is a scandal. The Interims should
be released by the time I come back and I hope it brings
some cheer to shareholders. This has been a rotten year
holding this stock lets hope things start to improve.

on the 12th December 05. A nice little tick upwards
as a result of the announcement.

Lovely day to release them too-because it my

So do I mate. So do I.

It has been a rotten year holding this share but I still got
faith. I was one of only two shareholders who attended
the AGM in September 05. Following on from the AGM in October 05
myself and the other shareholder were invited up to the Distribution
Centre in Leyland (Lancashire) where we had a look at the operations
and spoke with the Redworth Directors, Trevor Allan, Alex Sorrell
and Janice Beer. Anyone of you living in the North or with time to
spare to travel up to the Distribution Centre should do so. It is
a very impressive operation and it is easy to understand how
Redworth has achieved such quick and strong growth over the last
few years. This period is there busiest and they are working 7 days
a week to meet orders. Music Box already supply all of the Morrisons
and Wilkinson Stores. They are now piloting some products with some
post office branches. The AGM Statement says something of ''piloting
new initiatives to new customers''.
I went to the AGM and up to the Distribution Centre to find out whether
the company is in financial trouble which was resulting with the share
price collapse. From what I have heard and seen the answer is no.
Poor communication is the problem and I hope Bishopsgate get busy
from the 12/12/05 which I think they will.
The Redworth Directors are now in charge of the day-to-day operations
of AMU and all products are distributed from Lancashire. These Directors
are also the main shareholders (apart from Mark Frey) it is in their
interest to ensure that the share price recovers.
This share remains a long-term hold for me especially considering the
Maximum Entertainment deal.

I wish one of you guys would go on the AMU website and contact
Head Office yourself and arrange a visit to Leyland. Best to act
on facts and not rumours.

All the Best

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

I am pleased to announce the interim results for the six months to 30 September
2005.

Results
Turnover for the period grew by 280% to 29.8 million, with operating profit
before goodwill amortisation of 863,000 and exceptional items of 1,364,000
increasing by 76% to 1,300,000. Interest payable during the period was 314,000
resulting in a loss before tax of 1,241,000. Profit before taxation, goodwill
amortisation and exceptional charges was 41% higher at 986,000. Basic loss per
share for the period was 0.30p whilst normalised earnings per share (after
adjusting for goodwill amortisation and exceptional charges) was 0.14p.

This trading period incorporates the costs associated with the strategic review,
announced in July 2005, which has seen a number of changes for the Air Group.
The following is a summary of the key areas:

The Air Group exited its loss making Hollywood DVD subsidiary and placed
the company in the hands of administrators.
During the past six months the Board has also been rationalised with a
number of Board changes resulting in a smaller but clearly focused Executive
Board, and
The corporate, distribution, IT and finance functions that were
historically attached to the Head Office in Berkhamsted have been
incorporated into the distribution business in Leyland, creating centralised
functions servicing all the UK businesses within the Air Group. There are
overhead savings created by the centralisation of the distribution and
finance functions that will benefit the Air Group during the next full
financial year.


Current Trading
The Air Group's current operations fall into two clear areas; distribution and
publishing. Our distribution business, predominantly Music Box Leisure ("MBL"),
has performed to our expectations since acquisition. Our publishing division has
been under pressure in the UK, with CD publishing sales showing a decline of 12%
and DVD publishing sales falling 76%. However, Legacy, our North American
business, has shown sales growth of 3%.

It is the Board's intention to focus its efforts on the proven distribution
model of the MBL business, with the publishing division providing proprietary
goods for MBL and seeking to develop the DVD publishing operation concentrating
on more profitable niche market areas. In September 2005 the Air Group acquired
Maximum Entertainment, which licenses a portfolio of children's DVD titles
including Transformers, Care Bears and Action Man.


Outlook
Following the strategic review, the core business is now well-placed to enhance
profitability by expanding its customer base and product offering. In addition,
the Board will continue to evaluate strategic acquisition opportunities as they
arise. We are currently in our most critical period of the year, with the
Christmas trading quarter anticipated to account for almost 30% of annual sales.
Even in early December it still remains difficult to assess how successful
retail activity will be this Christmas and the Board retains a cautious view on
Christmas trading.

Continuing with the rationalisation of the Board, Nick Fisher, currently a
non-executive director, has elected to step down from the Board with immediate
effect. Jan Beer, currently an executive director, has also announced her
intention to step down from the Board to focus on the further development of
MBL.

I have been Non-Executive Chairman of the Group since 2001, helping the Company
move from a private concern to the OFEX market and then to the AIM market in
2002. However, due to an increased workload with my other companies I feel that
this is an appropriate time for me to announce my intention to step down as
Non-Executive Chairman. I will stay in place until the Board identifies a
suitable replacement. I have enjoyed working with the team at Air Group and wish
them well for the future.

Air Music & Media Group plc

TRADING UPDATE
Trading in line with expectations

The Board of Air Group, the UK distributor of home entertainment products,
provides shareholders today with a Trading Update.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Christmas sales in line with management expectations;
Confidence in full year results meeting market expectations;
Successful centralisation of UK distribution - anticipated to generate
future overhead savings;
Pilot scheme of retail outlets for Air Group's product range;
Exclusive supply arrangement with Universal Music for selected products;
Group remained comfortably within its banking facilities; and
EGM called for 27 January 2006.

Sales in the critical Christmas trading period were in line with management
expectations. Trading performance in January 2006 has also performed well and,
accordingly, the Directors remain confident that the full year results will meet
market expectations.

The caution the Board expressed in mid-December, regarding the performance of
retail activity, proved relatively unfounded. Sales for the Group were 26.4
million in the quarter to 31 December 2005, compared to 26.1 million on a
comparable basis in the quarter to 31 December 2004. The activity in the
Christmas trading period gives the Board confidence in achieving sales of
between 68-70 million for the year ending 31 March 2006.

The Group completed the successful centralisation of UK distribution through its
100,000 square foot facility in Leyland, during the busiest period of the year
with no disruption to operations. This is anticipated to generate overhead
savings in the next financial year. In addition, in November the Group commenced
a pilot scheme of introducing retail outlets on a discount/value theme selling
from the Group's existing product range. The Group operated six stores in the
North East of England which generated 0.9 million in sales to 31 December 2005.

The Group has recently entered into an exclusive supply arrangement giving it
access to selected Universal Music budget releases which are produced by
Universal exclusively for the Group. These releases, which appear under the
Group's own-label 'United', raise the overall quality of the Group's own-label
products which previously were restricted to superbudget repertoire.

The Group remained comfortably within its banking facilities during the peak
working capital period, and continued to meet scheduled borrowing repayments.
The Directors acknowledge the low market valuation currently placed on the Group
and in the current situation are not pursuing new acquisition opportunities that
would involve the further issue of shares. The Directors are considering
accelerating the repayment of debt during 2006.

The Company has called an EGM for 27 January 2006 at which time the Board will
seek consent for amongst other things a share consolidation and the authority to
buy back Company shares.

RESULT OF EGM


The Board of Air Group announces that at the Company's Extraordinary General
Meeting held earlier today, all the resolutions were duly passed.

Following the EGM, the Company's ordinary shares of 2.5p each will be
consolidated on a 1 for 30 basis into ordinary shares with a nominal value of
75p each, which are expected to commence trading on AIM on Monday 30 January
2006.

John French, Chairman of Air Group, commented: "We are pleased that all
resolutions have been passed and we hope to maintain the faith of our
shareholders with full year results that will meet market expectations. Despite
the caution we expressed in mid-December, sales in the critical Christmas
trading period were in line with management expectations, and trading in January
2006 has also performed well.

"The Group has successfully centralised UK distribution and as a result expects
to generate future overhead savings. It has also entered into an exclusive
supply arrangement giving it access to selected Universal Music budget releases
which are produced by Universal exclusively for the Group.

"These factors give the Board confidence in achieving sales of between
68million and 70million for the year ending 31 March 2006."

The Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Mark Frey as Non-Executive
Chairman (formerly Joint CEO), Trevor Allan as CEO (formerly Joint CEO) and John
French as Non-Executive Director (formerly Non-Executive Chairman) of Air Group,
effective from 3 April 2006.

Mark Frey, will become Non-Executive Chairman, having held the position of Joint
CEO. Mark is a founding director of Air Group, where he has focused on
acquisitions and product development, and brings with him a demonstrable 20 year
track record in the sector. Mark will communicate the Group's strategy
differentials and investment strengths to both current and future investors.

Trevor Allan will take up the sole role of CEO. Trevor has held the role of
Joint Chief Executive since July 2005. He has more than 20 years of experience
in the business of selling music and DVD products.

Alex Sorrell's position remains unchanged and will continue as Finance Director.

Roger Putnam has notified the Board that he will be stepping down from his role
as Non-Executive Director on 30 June 2006. The Board would like to thank Roger
for his support and efforts to date, wish him well in the future, and will be
seeking a replacement Non-Executive Director in due course.

At the time of the Group's December Interims, the Company announced that it had
been advised by John French of his intention to step down as Non-Executive
Chairman. This will become effective from 3 April 2006. John French has agreed
to continue as a Non-Executive Director until 30 June 2006.

John French was appointed Non-Executive Chairman in November 2001 and was
responsible for leading the Group into the quoted company sector, including an
introduction to Ofex and subsequently to AIM. The Board has expressed their
appreciation of his contribution.

At the time of the Group's January Trading update, the Board announced that
Sales in the critical Christmas trading period were in line with management
expectations. Trading performance since January 2006 has continued in line with
management expectations and, accordingly, the Directors remain confident that
the full year results will meet market expectations.

"over on the junior market Air Music & Media put on 19.5p after reporting underlying profits of 4.7 million. Dealers noted the company had a value of just 13.5 million giving rise to the possiblity of a substantial re-rating."


explosive - 11 Jul 2007 22:41 - 269 of 276

Must say the sp has taken a swift nose dive in recent, interesting one.

kate bates - 12 Jul 2007 07:54 - 270 of 276


"Air Music & Media Group may have moved from a small profit to a 1.5 million pretax loss in a year, but the business appears to have turned a corner. The company has repaid 5.7 million of borrowings early, eliminating its net debts, which last year stood at 6.4 million. Strong cash generation is coming from the core business. The shares jumped 19p to 78p, a rise of 33 per cent."

Two posts in that thread at present. First one full of info and a great tempter. I nearly bought in after some +ve coverage by respected TMF posters but thought the price had jumped up as a result of that and would probably subside a little short term.

And now it has - by a lot more than I expected (over 10%). Glad I didn't fill my boots at > 80p! I think I was quoted 89p buy on a big spread and chickened out.

The second post in the thread may explain the lack of steam. So staying out for now but keeping a watchful eye.
