Interregnum - anybody else out there!!! (ITR)     

dawsinho - 17 Feb 2005 08:56

Interregnum plc (www.interregnum.com), is an AIM-listed technology
merchant bank (symbol: ITR). Established in 1992, it provides advisory
services including corporate finance, IP exploitation and commercial due
diligence to corporates, government, technology entrepreneurs, advisors and
investors. In addition it invests in technology companies, focused primarily
on principal equity stakes although, in some cases taking minority equity
stakes.


Last month Liontrust Investment Services Limited increased its interest to 13.4% of the issued share capital. Director Ian Taylor topped up at 5.69 pence in December.


Recent Trading Update 27 Jan 05

Interregnum's consolidated revenues for the six months ended 31 December 2004
showed an increase of more than 370% to 3.3m (1H 2003-4: 0.7m). This reflects
increased revenues from the Interregnum advisory business and from its
subsidiary Yospace, together with the full consolidation of the revenues of
Cellular Design Services (CDS) which was acquired in February 2004.

Consolidated operating losses were reduced to 719,000 (1H 2003-4: loss of
799,000).

Operating cash flow for period improved to -614,000 (1H 2003-4: -928,000), and
the cash balance at 31 December 2004 was 1.915m (31 December 2003: 1.1m)

Highlights from the three primary components of Interregnum's business were as
follows:

Interregnum Advisory Business
Advisory revenues increased to 453,000 (1H2003-4: 290,000), but this does not
yet show the full impact of the 7 new people hired during the period. On 16
December Interregnum acted as a placing agent alongside Collins Stewart in the
5.6m placing announced by Screen plc (AIM: SEN/L).

Investment Portfolio
The investment portfolio continued to perform well. New investments into the
portfolio increased to 458,000 (1H 2003-4: 125,000). These included 250,000
in Future Route, a supplier of software which helps financial institutions
detect and prevent credit card fraud, and 150,000 in Oilcats, a provider of
Supply Chain Content Management software and services to the Energy sector.

There were no significant realisations from the investment portfolio (1H 2003-4:
181,000), and the portfolio (net of provisions) was valued at 3.051m (31
December 2003: 2.499m)

Subsidiary Companies

CDS completed its first full trading period since its acquisition by
Interregnum, generating revenues (for the six months to 31 December 2004) of
2.313m, net before tax profits of 86,000, and net positive cash flow of
173,000. CDS has focused on higher-margin, complex wireless infrastructure
work, leading to deeper business relationships with operators such as O2, 3,
T-Mobile, and BT, with equipment vendors such as Nokia, and with large property
owners such as BAA.

Ken Olisa, Interregnum Chairman and Chief Executive commented: "We are pleased
with the progress of all parts of our business. CDS and Yospace are now making
significant contributions to group revenues, and we expect AVM to continue this
trend. The investment portfolio generally is performing well, and we are
particularly pleased with the speed at which the new members of Interregnum's
advisory team have been integrated into the business; we expect them to make a
substantial contribution to both advisory revenues and deal flow during the
second half of FY2003-4 and beyond."

Full interim results for this period are planned to be released at the end of February 2005

Any thoughts welcome!

PRESS RELEASE

INTERREGNUM PLC

Financial results for the 6 months ended 31 December 2004


Financial highlights

Group turnover up 385% at 3.35m (2003: 0.7m) reflecting increased

Group operating loss further reduced by 10% to 719,000 (2003: 799,000)
despite an increase in overheads resulting from the addition of seven new
corporate finance hires
There were no significant realisations from the portfolio (1H 2003:
181,000), which contributed to a retained loss for the period of 468,000
or 0.51 per share (2003: 191,000, 0.29p per share)

Cash receipts from investee companies post period end include 400,000
dividend and 400,000 interest payments.

Corporate Progress

Yospace, which is 47% owned by Interregnum, grew revenues by 60% to
659,000 (2003: 412,000), and secured a global contract with a leading
mobile operator
CDS, which is 100% owned by Interregnum, achieved profits of 87,000
(2003: loss 23,000)
Following the recruitment of four new MDs, the advisory fee pipeline is
greater than at any time in Interregnum's history
Audio Visual Machines Ltd. ('AVM'), an audio visual solutions provider,
was acquired post period end, supporting Interregnum's strategy of taking
principal investment positions; AVM is expected to be earnings enhancing in
second half of 2004-5.

(1) Adjusted to include the carrying value of Cellular Design Services, Yospace
Technologies and Interregnum Investment Partners

Commenting on the results, Ken Olisa, Chairman and Chief Executive of
Interregnum, said:

'The technology market's continuing improvement helped us to achieve record
group revenues. The combination of shrewd acquisitions, an advisory team with
significant experience and increased firepower, position us well to take
advantage of our growing pipeline. Our operating subsidiaries, CDS and Yospace,
performed well during the period and, along with the recent acquisition of AVM
following the period-end, enhanced our capability in two of our four focus
sectors - Wireless and News & Entertainment. Our role as lead investor and
fundraiser in the recently completed 2.3m investment round in Future Route adds
further evidence of our work in the third of our chosen sectors - Security. From
an assets perspective, our portfolio grew in value again and post period end
yielded dividends and interest totalling 800,000.

'We are confident that the world's technology markets are set for a period of
continuing improvement. This positive environment plays to Interregnum's
merchant banking strengths. Creative people, a powerful global network of
contacts and access to capital are in ever greater demand as technology
entrepreneurs seek to exploit the improved environment.

'The hard work and careful execution of strategy which have sustained us through
the last two difficult years are beginning to pay off, and we expect the current
pattern of growth to continue. As an expert technology merchant bank which buys,
sells, advises invests in and operates winning businesses, we believe
Interregnum offers investors unique access to today's technology market.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Q1: In your last results statement you predicted that the technology market
would continue to recover. Were you correct?

The early signs of life continued throughout 2004 and I am delighted to see that
the trend has continued into 2005. Although in no way comparable to the excess
exuberance of the late 1990s, the markets in the USA and Europe continue to
improve both in the older consolidating technology sectors and in the growing
wireless/mobile world. You can see the evidence of increasing strength in the
consolidating sector from the major players' increased revenues and the
heightened levels of M&A transactions. Meanwhile the energy and enthusiasm which
surround the Apple iPod and the RIM Blackberry devices serve as pointers to the
emerging Age of Ubiquity - a period in which some of the previously over-hyped
areas such as 3G, home broadband, and on-line commerce achieve maturity.

Q2: Can you quantify this apparent up-tick in the technology market?

Yes; on the demand side, research carried out by IDC pegs worldwide IT spending
in 2004 at US$965 billion and forecasts that it will continue to grow by 6% per
annum up to 2008. It is a little harder to measure supply side activity, but two
statistics serve to provide an indicator of the willingness of technology
companies to engage in transactions which enhance their value.

The volume of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) provides a good indicator of stock
market sentiment and in 2004, Regent Associates reported that technology IPOs in
Europe numbered 88 up from 20 the year before and back to the pre-boom levels of
1996 and 1997. Regent also reported that the Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A)
environment is equally vibrant with over 2400 transactions involving European
technology companies last year - a number as high as that achieved at the
market's peak year of 2000.

Q3: What does this mean for Interregnum?

Two things. Firstly, as the results show, we can translate an up-tick in
spending from the demand side of the market - i.e. customers - into growth in
our operating subsidiaries. Secondly, as things pick up, our traditional clients
on the supply side find themselves in greater need of advice, which in turn,
flows through to the growth in our advisory revenues.

Q4: And how are you positioned to profit from this renewed energy?

Increasingly well. There is no doubt that the last few years have been tough for
Interregnum as they have for anyone involved in the technology world. Our
decision to embrace the role of merchant bank has enabled us to adopt a more
flexible approach to the many opportunities that exist than would have been
possible had we remained a traditional venture capitalist. Over recent months
our work has been applied throughout the business lifecycle. We have helped
build plans for a variety of start-ups; we have raised seed capital for growing
businesses and debt for established ones. We have brokered the sale of
established companies and undertaken acquisition target projects for our
clients. More directly we have invested in some of our clients, and we have
bought and operated going concerns. All of these activities become more
important as the market pace increases and we feel that we have the people,
services, track record and reputation to win more than our fair share of the
opportunities that will emerge.

Q5: I still don't really understand what you mean by 'merchant bank' can you
explain?

It is a slightly confusing term I admit, but it is the best description of what
we do. In essence, the merchant banks of old carried out the kind of work
described in the last answer. But I have noticed that when I describe the detail
of our work, the audience begins to lose the thread of my message - they get the
feeling that we are doing too many things. We're not. In many ways Interregnum
is like a property developer. We find high potential assets and, using our
expertise, we try either to derive a continuing income from them or we buy them,
improve them and then sell them on at a profit. The shorthand way of describing
us is as a creative group of expert professionals combined with a powerful
network and access to capital - all targeted at buying, selling, advising,
investing in and operating technology businesses, i.e. we are an intellectual
property developer or, rather, a technology merchant bank!

Q6: Back to your results - can you dig below the surface and give me a better
picture of what is really happening?

It's perhaps best to view Interregnum as consisting of three elements -
advisory, investment and operating.

Our advisory business, which grew by 56% in the first half, works with clients
at every stage from start-up to established. In that role we help them to
develop and execute their corporate strategy. This might mean helping them to
define the need for acquisitions, then finding the target companies and finally,
negotiating the purchase; or it might mean helping to define their investment
needs and then securing the necessary funds. Equally, it might mean, as we are
at present, helping a large US real estate developer work out how to exploit the
computer systems that are being specially designed to support their latest
property development.

Our investment activities are reflected in our portfolio which contains all of
the equity which we have acquired. Here, we work with the investee companies'
managers and our co-investors to develop and execute winning strategies. This
can involve a wide range of tasks from forging an alliance with a much bigger
corporate partner, or introducing a company to a large potential customer, to
seeking further funds for growth.

Operating our subsidiaries is the third leg of the Interregnum stool. Currently
we have three subsidiaries in sub sectors of the technology market which draw on
our knowledge and contact network.

Q7: These sound like three very different lines of business.

Not really, they have a great deal in common. Success in each requires a deep
knowledge of the technology market and of the financial ecosystem which supports
it. But equally, the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to support an
advisory client's sales strategy are identical to those which we would deploy to
build revenues for one of our own subsidiaries. Working out the competitive
forces in a sector requires the same skill set whether we own all of the
company, a minority of the company or merely advise it.

Q8: Clearly one of your biggest assets is your portfolio - how is it valued?

In keeping with most technology investors we value our portfolio in the accounts
according to the guidelines issued by the British Venture Capital Association
(BVCA). This means that we value our share of any company either at the last
financial event involving the company (investment, acquisition, etc) or, if
there has been a significant change to the company's fortunes, a judgement has
to be made (and agreed with our auditors) which will result in marking the
holding up or down.

Q9: This sounds very conservative - if your intention is to sell your assets,
you are unlikely to do so at the book value - what is the best way of
quantifying this potential value?

We use the BVCA guidelines so that our portfolio can be compared to those of
other institutional investors using something approaching an equal footing.
However, application of these guidelines does not always give a full picture of
the value - or potential value - of these holdings. For example, the table below
compares the current BVCA valuation with that obtained by applying to our
largest holdings the range of revenue multiples used widely to value public
companies.

Principal elements of the portfolio:

Company Current 1x multiple 2x multiple 3x multiple
valuation 000s

CDS 1,558 5,100 10,200 15,300
Respond 1,177 823 1,646 2,469
Yospace 635 1,034 2,068 3,102
Metapraxis 600 495 990 1,485
Adaptive Inc 522 357 714 1,071
AVM 530 2,270 4,540 6,810
Total 5,022 10,079 20,158 30,238

NB: AVM was acquired post period end

Q10: Looking at your balance sheet, you don't have a particularly large cash
balance - how will you fund operations and future investment?

From three sources: cash generated from our own operations, realisation of
investment assets, and capital from our contact network. The power of that
network was demonstrated by our success in raising 2m capital for Screen plc
(now Petards Group: PEG) and Future Route.

Q11: So the market is moving and you have a revitalised team to attack it - what
are your projections for the next twelve months?

The technology sector will continue to recover as predicted by the spending
figures I quoted at the beginning. Secondly, the consolidation of existing
companies will continue as the larger players seek to create scale as a defence
from the even bigger companies in our market - the mergers of PeopleSoft and
Oracle; and Symantec and Veritas are the beginning of a trend which will play
out well beyond 2005. Meanwhile, as customers increasingly come to see
technology as a way to achieve competitive advantage, they will demand access to
innovative solutions which naturally tend to come from smaller, nimbler
entities. There is a large role for Interregnum to play as companies across the
size spectrum seek to makes sense of and then profit from the increasing market
momentum. It has been a long time since we have seen such a positive environment
in which to buy, sell, advise, invest in and operate technology businesses.

Thank you

INTERREGNUM PLC


Signs Commercial Agreement with DestiNY USA(TM)



Interregnum plc ('Interregnum'), the technology merchant bank, today announces
that it has signed a commercial agreement to provide advisory services on an
on-going basis to DestiNY USA(TM), a 21st Century technology cluster being
developed as part of an estimated US$25 billion initiative in Upstate New York
in the United States.


The agreement with DestiNY USA is expected to generate significant undisclosed
advisory revenues for Interregnum in the current financial year.


Interregnum will provide DestiNY USA and partners with a valuation model for the
commercialisation of the Intellectual Property emerging from technology
businesses in DestiNY USA's Research Centre.


Interregnum will also help establish the 'Venture Engine'. This will include a
package and set of incentives to attract venture capital expertise and funds to
the region, as well as the policies around venture development and investment
for technologies developed at the Research Centre. The emerging technologies
will be installed at DestiNY USA which will act as a route-to-market and as
first enterprise level customer for these transformational technologies.


Commenting on this agreement, Ken Olisa, Chief Executive of Interregnum, said:


'Our agreement with DestiNY USA enables Interregnum to deploy its advisory
skills and in-depth understanding of emerging technologies - which are core to
what we do - on a significant scale, working with some of the largest and most
innovative technology companies in the world. In addition, DestiNY USA allows
us the opportunity to share in the potential upside of the commercial
exploitation of intellectual property in the US as well as in Europe.


'We are extremely excited to be working with DestiNY USA in creating a 21st
Century technology cluster - and being given a real opportunity to be able to
transform technology into wealth through enterprise and innovation.'

Dave,

Did you manage to jump back in? What a great way to start the week! Surely more people have got to sit up and take note soon. Like the following snippet -

"The agreement with DestiNY USA is expected to generate significant undisclosed
advisory revenues for Interregnum in the current financial year"

"working with some of the largest and most innovative technology companies in the world"

"In addition, DestiNY USA allows us the opportunity to share in the potential upside of the commercial exploitation of intellectual property in the US as well as in Europe"

Good to see that yanks investing 25 billion initiatives, all looks good for itr. What was most supprising was the fact that we won such a great deal in the US, can only help enhance our reputation on the other side of the pond. Was led to believe that we'd be focusing our main effets in Europe, not going to complain :-)

Oh yeah had a look at URA, but plucked for VML instead, looks like a very promising share.

Anyone else into this one yet?

Interregnum signs up for the new Kew in New York
Daily Telegraph
(Filed: 14/03/2005)

Interregnum, the Aim-listed merchant bank specialising in technology companies, has signed a deal to advise DestiNY USA, the group developing America's largest construction project, an 800-acre tourist park for emerging technologies in upstate New York.

The bank will help DestiNY build a sales model to attract partners, as well as raising money for any new technologies being brought to market. Construction work for the massive $25billion (13billion) project, expected to rival Silicon Valley, will start later this year and take more than two years.

Ken Olisa, chief executive of Interregnum, said: "It's really a very Victorian idea, like a bigger version of Kew Gardens. The concept is based around science and technology research but with opportunities to gawk, as well as shops and restaurants."

INTERREGNUM PLC

Advises on sale of technology company for significant multiple of revenues

Interregnum plc ('Interregnum'), the technology merchant bank, today announces
that it has advised on the sale of Chevin Ltd ('Chevin'), a security and systems
management company, on behalf of MTI Partners ('MTI'), the UK's leading
early-stage hi-tech institutional venture fund, to Allen Systems Group ('ASG'),
a US provider of enterprise software and professional services, for an
undisclosed amount. Interregnum negotiated the successful sale of the company
for a significant multiple of revenues.

The sale of Chevin is expected to generate significant undisclosed advisory
revenues for Interregnum in the current financial year.

Interregnum assessed the value of Chevin - using its proprietary methodology,
The Four Pillars of Value(c) - and then identified the most appropriate acquirer
for the company. This transaction reflects Interregnum's capability to take a
pre-profit early-stage UK company and negotiate its sale to one of the world's
largest independently-owned software companies, creating significant returns to
Chevin's shareholders.


Commenting on the transaction, Ken Olisa, Chief Executive of Interregnum, said:

'The sale of Chevin represents a classic merchant banking deal for Interregnum,
drawing on our technology expertise and corporate finance skills to transform
technology into wealth for all parties involved. The deal is an exemplar of the
consolidation in the technology market as larger companies seek to find value
through acquisition of smaller IP-based businesses.'

Ernie Richardson, CEO of MTI, added 'Interregnum's creativity and its deep
sector knowledge have been integral to identifying the perfect home for Chevin.
ASG is an excellent fit, allowing shareholders of Chevin to share in the future
value created by this world class technology as it enters the global
marketplace.'

More good news!

AFX


LONDON (AFX) - Interregnum hardened 0.25 to 7.37 after the technology merchant bank agreed to merge its subsidiary companies, Interregnum

Wireless Holdings and Cellular Design Services, with Red-M (Communications), with the intention of floating the combined business on AIM) in the first half of 2005.

The combined business will be named Red-M Group Limited ('Red-M'). Its business focuses on wireless communications, including the provision of software and design services.

This, said Seymour Pierce, should quantify a substantially higher value over book costs for Interregnum's holding, which on an enlarged basis, will be around 45 pct of the Red-M group. An increase in net asset value can be expected to push Interregnum's share price higher, said the house, which thinks the company is generally trading better than for some time.

Seymour Pierce switched its stance on the stock to 'buy' from 'outperform'.

EWRobson - 29 Apr 2005 18:24 - 13 of 57

Hi dawsinho, just popped in to have a look given the good performance this week. Will comment on the ASOS Challenge, but perhaps you could visit to expand some of the virtues. Good to switch the focus from the old favourites and I like the look of this - will revisit to study more closely.

EWRobson - 30 Apr 2005 20:51 - 15 of 57

Well, that's the ultimate accolade!

moneyplus - 30 Apr 2005 21:22 - 16 of 57

only looking! a bit concerned about the tiny turnover-I can't see it driving the sp up much more. well tiny by comparison if you know what I mean--can't say I'd mind it myself!!

EWRobson - 30 Apr 2005 21:39 - 17 of 57

Have you noticed that this share was at 1 during the dot-com boom. Consider the potential one-off revenue from the CDS flotation; plus the destiny link up appears credible and could be worth mega-bucks. Thus (a question for dawsinho) a profit for the year looks credible leading to a rerating. I like the merchant bank posture - plus 7 new key staff. Cap is only 8m at present. Vibes increasingly positive!

Eric

EWRobson - 30 Apr 2005 21:56 - 18 of 57

dawsinho: reaction appears to have been slow to announcement of AIM flotation on Wednesday which could be very significant. Bigger move yesterday but on relatively small volumes. 4m shares traded last week - do we have any knowledge of that: no RNS yet 4% of equity. Charts very positive. Difficult to value a company like this and could be due a rerating.

Eric

dawsinho - 01 May 2005 12:02 - 19 of 57

Eric + Moneyplus, The destiny agreement is very hard to value at this stage although we know it is expected to generate significant advisory revenues for Interregnum. The great thing is Interregnum is going to have first pick at a lot of new and exciting companies and may choose to invest in them.

The Red-M flotation is again hard to call because we don't know its true value, but we know that Interregnum owns 45% of the issued share capital. News should be thick and fast as they intend to float within the next two months, will try and do some digging and get some figures on paper today or tomorrow.

4M shares traded? i've only got 561,972 for last week. Volumes have been very small since i got into this baby, just after turn of the year. Its one of the few tech companies which got through the last few years after the tech bubble burst, which means the competition is scarce. Although the week before last sore some large buying, but as of yet no rns.

Good to see some people taking an interest, need to put some figures on the Red-M valuation, which should then give a much clearer picture to the possible financial benefits for itr.

Phil

EWRobson - 01 May 2005 13:17 - 20 of 57

Phil: Thanks for feedback. The 4 million is a spike on the volume chart about a eeek before the last announcement. The trades facility on MoneyAM only gives the last week, but it appears that trades to that value haven't been shown. Don't know what the source for the volume figure is.

Careless talk can cost money and I'm not into these yet. My comments are really for the benefit of moneyplus: read Q9 in the excellent q and A section of the Interims. The value of CDS is given, I think at acquisition cost, as 1.558M but current value using industry guidelines is 5.1m on 'one multiple'. Perhaps thats enough for an initial stake and then wait for the action!

Eric

moneyplus - 01 May 2005 15:23 - 21 of 57

stockdog - 01 May 2005 19:05 - 22 of 57

Eric and others hereon

In response to your enquiry on SEO thread, my initial reactions to ITR are as follows:-

1. I smell something fishy, possibly some kind of gas escaping from a leaky techy/financial bubble.

2. I don't understand the core business or any of its subsidiaries and especially DestinyUSA.

3. There is a great deal of talk from KO about ITR being a means to realise shareholdervalue out of operations whose business consists of realising, you guessed it, shareholder value - out of what real value creating product, exactly?

4. It's history of dot.com bubble SP and the breathless pace at which RNS follows RNS seems to good to be true - which generally is all too true to be good news for shareholders.

5. There is a decided lack of focus - tech merchant bank, buying, selling, advising, inventing, conning, scamming, plus minority, hey let's do majority today, ownership of a scattergun collection of techyspeakybutnotdoy businesses. DestinyUSA seems similarly woolly about how it's planning to repay the $25bn investment from a bunch of nerds all at some great summer camp.

Many of its investments were advised or placed by CFP, did you notice - hmm.

Otherwise, I remain positive on the outlook for the company for the next few hours.

BTW the word cynic comes from the ancient Greek word cynos - a dog.

Now, sd, what was wrong when you ame home - bones, kennel or mistress? or all three? Thought you were a half full sort of chap until it was proved half empty! Interesting that the current valuation of their portfolio is 5m against a company cap. of less than 8m. Key question is the possible worth of CDS via the Red-M group in the forthcoming flotation. There's a nice piece of homework to keep you out of mischief. Agree that its almost the opposite of CFP with its tight focus.

Red-M Preps IPO
04.27.05

Wireless security company Red-M Communications Ltd. has made a surprise move to launch an IPO on the back of its acquisition of network consultancy and optimization vendor Cellular Design Services Ltd. (CDS).

The vendor today announced plans to seek a listing on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange (LSE). The company is believed to be valued today at 20 million to 25 million (US$38-$48 million), and will issue new shares worth between 10 million and 15 million ($19-$29 million).

We intend to list the company in the first half of this year, before June, says CEO Karl Feilder. No further details were forthcoming.

According to its Website, AIM gives companies from all countries and sectors access to the market at an earlier stage of their development, allowing them to experience life as a public company. Launched in 1995, AIM today lists over 1,100 companies.

Its important, however, to note the differences in admission criteria between the LSE and AIM. The LSE market requires that at least 25 percent of shares are released into public hands, while the AIM has no minimum value. No minimum market capitalization is necessary for a listing on the AIM, and no trading record or prior shareholder approval is required.

Nevertheless, Red-Ms Feilder is keen to talk up todays move. If you are a European company, you would normally be recommended to go on AIM unless you are very big. AIM is a subset of the LSE and controlled and regulated by it... The first thing you have to do to get listed on the AIM is to find a nominated advisor, or 'nomad,' who is regulated by the LSE. You have to persuade them that your company is really appropriate to list. You are not allowed to list unless you meet a whole load of criteria. We are using Bridgewell as our nomad.

The vendors plans may come as a surprise in light of past developments. Founded in 1999, Red-M purged its entire management team in the second half of 2002 following initial attempts to break into the 802.11 security space (see Red-M or Dead-M?). Although the company is now an established player in the wireless intrusion detection system sector, Red-M has never publicly disclosed its revenue figures or revealed levels of investment from VC backers Amadeus Capital Partners Ltd. and Apax Partners.

The vendor clearly has a few dollars in its back pocket though, as it has recently acquired U.K. business CDS for an undisclosed amount. CDS was owned by Interregnum, which is itself an AIM quoted company, so there are very tight restrictions on what we could say and when, explains Feilder.

We had been talking to them for over a year. They are a renowned company in the in-building market as well as consulting and design and implementation of wireless networks. Feilder states that CDSs experience in converging GSM and 3G wireless networks with WiFi was a key attraction. One of the things we wanted to do was to extend our experience in Bluetooth and WiFi to different wireless technologies.

CDSs head man, Simon Saunders, is to assume the CTO position at Red-M. Subsequent to todays acquisition, Red-M Communications is to be renamed Red-M Group and will claim a total headcount of approximately 70.

dawsinho: Your not alone any more! Bought in at 0.95p - will look cheap by the time the IPO comes! Trade not shown yet. Hey, you may be challenging bos before long!
It was the Red-M float that persuaded me to invest, even before you posted their expectations yesterday. Today's RNS confirms that they are going places.

Eric

dawsinho - 03 May 2005 09:02 - 29 of 57

Welcome! Topped up myself this am 0.94p.
If Red-m is valued at 20-25m and we have a nice 45% which is worth say just over 10m. ITR only paid around 1.5m for it just over a year ago, now thats good buisness! Great thing is the Red-m float looks great and there seems to be a lot of growth to come from them, which is going to directly benifit us.

Also this mornings rns seems like another good coup for the company, ITM appear to be in financial trouble and we've probably got some of their assets at a good price.

"This acquisition is expected to increase AVM's revenues by approximately 2 million over the next 12 months"

We currently hold 82.35% of avm's equity, which means we'll be seeing most of that!

EWRobson - 03 May 2005 09:47 - 30 of 57

Agree it looks great business. The existing cap is covered by the value of the float. Nor can they have paid much for the AVM assets. Cash is not particularly strong although they are generating it quite rapidly. Not sure how they could pick up cash from the Red-M flotation except by selling some of their own stake.

Eric

EWRobson - 03 May 2005 22:41 - 31 of 57

From UK-Analyst.com:

"Technology investor, Interregnum (up 0.625p to 9.125p) delighted the market with news of a revenue enhancing acquisition that looks set to add a further 2 million pounds in sales to its subsidiary, Audio Visual Machines. The company acquired, for an undisclosed sum, the assets, key staff and order book of a business that the group hopes will firm its position as a leading player in the supply of audio visual solutions to major corporates. Today's news followed hot on the heels from an upbeat statement towards the close of last week, in which the company revealed its wireless communications subsidiary had completed a merger and was planning to float on AIM in the next 2 months."

Surprising to see the relatively low key trading reaction. Never mind, gives chance for top-up at bargain basement prices.

Eric

dawsinho - 05 May 2005 20:32 - 32 of 57

Eric,

Prior estimates for Red-M valuation were 20-25m, just realised i didn't include the 10-15m of cash raised also! More like 40m.

http://www.red-m.com/News/#

EWRobson - 05 May 2005 22:03 - 33 of 57

Nice try, dawsinho! If flotation values Red-M at 40m then an extra one-third of shares, say, will have been issued and ITR's share will therefore drop to around 30%. Of course, ITR have key executive roles and will be able to llok after their investment; they must believe this is the best way of building value rather than taking the money and going away. From what I've seen, I like their style. Quite happy, really, to double my money by July!

Eric

dawsinho - 06 May 2005 07:16 - 34 of 57

I'll be happy with that :-)

Red - m float postponement!

Bit confused by this, Bridgewell, Red-M's financial adviser has advised to hold the float for the time being because of aim market conditions even though the floatation had been positively received by investors...
Sold some my holding this am, cos i think the market wont be pleased with this news.
At least we know that red-m's value is around the 20-25m mark, which is still great business.

INTERREGNUM PLC

Portfolio Company Announces Postponement of AIM Flotation

Interregnum plc ('Interregnum'), the technology merchant bank, announces today
that following a significant deterioration in the market conditions for new
issues on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) during recent weeks, its
portfolio company Red-M Group ('Red-M') has been advised to postpone its planned
admission to AIM by Bridgewell, Red-M's financial adviser. The admission had
been planned to take place during the first half of 2005.

Interregnum believes that Red-M remains very well placed to succeed in the
growing market for wireless security and management products and services. The
Red-M business proposition has been positively received by prospective investors
and the company had raised 1.6m of new debt and equity funding as part of the
preparation for its IPO. Red-M therefore intends now to seek a private equity
round of funding as the best way of addressing this market opportunity.

Interregnum owns approximately 45% of the issued share capital of Red-M prior to
further fund raising, with the other principal shareholders being funds managed
by Apax Partners, Amadeus Capital Partners and Red-M's management.

Very quiet on this share. anyone else share my enthusiasm for ITR? I fancy a large mark up on the next RNS, re floatation.
Alan

dawsinho - 20 Jun 2005 09:36 - 40 of 57

Alan,

Expect the sp to react more when the floatation actually goes ahead! Very little dialog regarding proposed future dates of the floation though. Market conditions seem to be improving so its sit on your hands time and wait it out... In the mean time i expect some deals to be struck from Interregnum's advisory business and maybe some news regarding Destiny usa.

Morning al, i pulled outta these a while back. The potential seems to be there just a little slow moving for my likes.

hewittalan6 - 14 Mar 2006 09:07 - 51 of 57

Just me and a couple of directors left then. :-(((
Alan

dawsinho - 14 Mar 2006 10:19 - 52 of 57

Alan

dawsinho - 15 Mar 2006 16:30 - 54 of 57

hewittalan6 - 17 Mar 2006 14:55 - 55 of 57

Keeps going in the right direction.
Anyone else got any thoughts?
Any chartists out there like the look of this chart?
I really am getting very bored making money on my own on this. ;-)
Alan

hewittalan6 - 31 Mar 2006 08:12 - 56 of 57

Interims released today, pretty much as expected.
No shares traded yet so it looks like me and the other two shareholders have adopted a wait and see policy on this one. ;-)
Alan

hewittalan6 - 10 Aug 2006 10:44 - 57 of 57

And we are glad we did adopt that policy. Trading statement from the new Parkmead group (new name for ITR) shows everything going a bit better than expected!!
