Anyone in SFX ? .. relatively new company. lots of potential ( & cash calls!)Results due soon.. looks interesting. Any news/views ?

I've been in this for a while but its crashed of late due to lack of news flow. I was hoping for some big contract wins soon but its been very quite!

I do like the company and it has masses of potential, im just going to sit on this one for a while.

I'm fairly new to this game and haven't posted much but I have been in SFX in a small way since it was tipped in shares mag. Disappointing fallback on sp due to lack of news but according to my broker there should be some news re the 2004 results on monday next (25th).

djh57...thank you for the info. I got in today at .0675p (small time). Let's hope there's good news Monday. There may be refeerence to a further cash call (may already be done and that's why sp has gone down, imho).

More importantly, lets hope there's lots of good news on new contracts/deals and also reference to good current trading etc.

BTW ... what other companies are you in ?

Good luck for Monday! :)

skyhigh.... enjoying a good ride with SEO at the present and a bumpy ride with a few others (pci, rtd, whog, ).

still a bit of a novice but learning a bit more each day.

do you have any tips to pass on to a beginner?

Hope we hear something +ve on monday!

Hi skyhigh, have you checked out Avanti screenmedia its probably a better punt than this one as it has more income streams and is a market leader. (just won a 4.3m contract) I set up a trade AVG a while ago.........

I'm in SEO as the majority of the western world appear to be but the best advice i can give you is DYOR and don't get sucked in after the partys over ive got burnt a number of times recently and am nursing heavy paper losses in some, this means i have to keep the finance tied up

But im looking to Monday for some good news on this one

Fingers crossed

Blackbelt.. agree with your advise re: being sucked in when the partys over..
I'm stuck with a few bummers ie... DEMG, CWV, WTV, WGT, MIL,(was IAL)

Djh57, I'm also in RTD... loking good. PXC.. .will actually take off soon I'm sure.
Also in ARC,SOP,LBN,IDOX,NWD,IQE,CFG,TND,COR,

2 big lessons I've learnt over the yrs... If a good share doesn't move don't sell too soon.. there's been plenty of shares I've sold that go up soon after.. quality comes through in the end. If it's making profits and growing t/over, revenues/profits the sp will come good sooner or later.

Also, use a 15% stop loss on a share where the outcome is looking dodgy/uncertain..

Hope this helps... good luck :)

Thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated.

Fingers crossed for monday!

Sky ive updated a previous thread on avanti screenmedia, if you like SFX you should definately be interested in Avanti ASG.......

No news so far, my broker's (td waterhouse) website is still showing prelim announcement due today!
I' ve tried to access the SFX website to check the date but it won't download.
web address is http://www.screenfx.com

They can still release results at any time today...... if they don't issue results today maybe something else is happening in the background like a cash raising exercise or big contracts to be finalised to be released at the same etc., let's see

Anybody know why the results didnt come out?

not seen/heard anything at all. ... something going on in background.. see my last post above...I don't mind waiting if it's a great big juicy contract/deal being finalised ! :)

This is too quite the company cannot continue to let the sp drop! If its realistic about expansion and requires a placing for funds it makes sense to keep the sp stable and not let it freefall to 6p now...........

Results out... big loss ! (not un-expected) Not sure what to make of it all but lots of good things happening but can't see any reference to future t/o or revenue expectations.
Looks like this is one to keep on the back burner.. perhaps we'll see encouraging news at the interims..

Anyone any views ?

I feel quite disenchanted with sfx! I was hoping for more contract wins to be announced but am sure there still under negotiation.

The expansion into more Malls is significant attaining 300m footfall. That kind of market reach is bound to have potential advertisers foaming at the mouth!

Im dug in for the long term on these ones I feel the profits will come through next year very strong. The orders will be based on multi year contracts with the company having little overheads.

The use of BT for support should provide a cost effective service. The safety net with these shares is they quite prone to be taken over by big advertisers. Im sure they are keeping a close eye on scren fx as its becoming extremely hard to find a effevtive medium to target customers.

I feel optimistic that they will not need shares issue due to their cashin hand. If they dont require a further dilution the share is poised to move significantly with any contract wins. Anybody getting in at this level like you skyhigh are sure to make on these, unfortunately im gonna have to average my holding down or sit tight on these for long term.........

More good news released this morning... company going from strenth to strength.. sp has got start going up soon ...time to top up methinks....

Not only that but tipped as a buy in this month's RHPS. Wouldn't always be taken in by RHPS tips... however, SFX demonstrated with yesterday's news that deals/good news is being regularly released... get in quick I say! (imho)

Excellent sp rise this morning... now 7.5p bid (+2.5p) long may the increases continue... lots more to come I think (imho)

Another excellent sp rise this morning... now 9p bid. Long may the increases continue... lots more still to come I think (imho).
Should go up even further if more positive news is released pver the coming months..

Fallen back a bit now due to profit taking... but...good time to get in (imho, dyor). this will slowly get stronger and spike up along the way on any good news

agree this is an excellent business prospect worked in industry for many years and was involved in early r+d for digi screens for major outdoor player

with more contract wins this could fly

How crap is this share/company ? about as crap as SOP,AMU,IRN,GFC.. and that's bl**dy aweful ! ... not worth me selling any of these shares...hopefully these dogs of 2005/6 will be the stars of 2007 ! Dream on !

I absoulutely hate this share.... should have sold on a stop loss ages ago but didn't really regrt it now...RHPS & Shares Mag reaaly raved about this one a yr ago....how wrong have they got this one !
Don't take any notice of RHPS or S.Mag any more...

How wrong was I with this one ! Not worth me getting out now ...I'll have to sit it out and hope it comes good sooner rather than later.

Looks cheap now !

Don't know why but bought 50k of these this am (shows as a sell), MMs had ticked the price up looking for suckers like me! Have a gut feeling that there is something to offer here, don't follow me though - unless you like a real gamble!!
kim

Yes... worth a punt at these levels... highly spec though... losses will be huge this time round..not sure what'll happen after results release

Could be adding them to my capital gains offset next year! I don't know where this company is in competition with Avanti Screenmedia, who are going from strength to strength, but if they become a bit of a nuisance as far as ASG are concerned then maybe they might snap them up. SFX's balance sheets make for x rated reading but they are still relatively young, getting good contracts and heading towards trading themselves in to a not half bad position.....but then again, shit happens!
kim

I see that Titan Outdoor Limited are to take The Maiden Group over at 20p cash per share:-

Wed 15 Mar 2006

MAIDEN (MDN), the outdoor advertising group, has agreed to be taken over after conceding it would become insolvent without the deal.
Titan Holdings, which provides billboard, telephone kiosk and street banner advertising in North America and Ireland, has offered to pay 49.6 million for Maiden, including 39m of debt. Banks refused to increase lending facilities to Maiden in February.
It operates advertising sites at more than 500 railway stations in the UK, while it also has a strong presence at supermarkets and shopping malls.

I'm not suggesting that SFX could become a target for Titan......but who knows?!
kim

There's life in this one yet... losses should start to subside as revenues increase. They now have more cash in place to support the business in the short/med term.. good time to buy in / top up ! (imho)

A lot of new shares to be soaked up, but I have to admit that the prospects look a lot better now, was on the verge of dumping SFX but now hanging on: the company is growing.
kim

On the back of this investment programme
we are already beginning to see the benefits in 2006 with an order book well in
excess of last year's turnover. We view the future with considerable optimism

Channel 4s IDEASFACTORY, in conjunction with Screen FX, will make movie history by launching the worlds first film festival to take place on board a train.

Around 70 shorts, produced by both first time and professional film makers from as far a field as Australia and Hong Kong to Wolverhampton, will be screened during the four week event to an audience of over 70,000 passengers. The films will be shown through the network of on-board televisions introduced by Screen FX in December 2005.


Dan Jones, Editor of IDEASFACTORY West Midlands said: The Rolling Stock Short Film Festival is a unique opportunity to showcase new and established talent to a huge travelling audience. We hope that the inspirational schedule will provide some welcome entertainment for our travelling audience on their daily commute.


Stephen Ollier, Chief Executive of Train FX (the train operating division of Screen FX) said: We are delighted to be working with Channel 4 IDEASFACTORY on this interesting initiative. Im sure this film festival will reach more viewers than most.


Steve Banaghan, Managing Director for Central Trains, said: The TVs on trains have proved very popular with our passengers and we are pleased to support the worlds first film festival on a train.


Passengers will be able to text-vote for their favourite film throughout the festival, with the most popular shorts taking home a cash prize and filmmaking equipment courtesy of Casio. Voters also have the chance to win a one month rail pass each week during the festival.

Remember the Express got the news correct about the placing ? well...


DAILY EXPRESS
*Redstone (RED.L) thought to be making good progress with voice-over internet.
*Traders expect positive feedback from Screen FX's (SFX.L) network in shopping malls.

media sales company representing screen media in shopping malls, health and
retail environments, for a total consideration of #75,000, together with a
management earn-out linked to gross profit over the next four years.
Independently owned POPtv, which stands for 'Point of Purchase' TV, had a

exist between POPtv and our Mall and Health divisions make this an excellent
acquisition, as it allows the Group to remove a competitor and remain focused on
our core offerings whilst strengthening our overall market position. We are now
represented in more of the country's biggest shopping malls, and will
significantly increase our penetration into the growing public health sector."

SP heading in the right direction but long way to get back to my break even level (bid=6.75p)

Screen FX H1 pretax loss widens
AFX


LONDON (AFX) - Screen FX PLC, which provides digital screen media, incurred a pretax loss of 2.6 mln stg in the first half of 2006, widening from a loss of 1.6 mln the prior year after a period of significant investment.

Turnover for the half year almost doubled the previous full year at 1.02 mln stg, compared with 118,000 stg for the comparative half-year.

Chief executive Dave Clark said ScreenFX continues to make strong progress and has now established itself as a leading player in the digital out-of-home market place.

Through MallFX he said the group has built the premium digital screen network in 25 of the UK's 'super malls', whilst the TrainFX and HealthFX divisions have also established a foothold in two strategically important channels and he said the board believes these opportunities can add significant incremental revenue streams to the group in the medium term.

'The media industry now expects that the digital outdoor sector will see significant growth in the coming years and we are confident that the ScreenFX business is well placed to capitalise in this marketplace.'

The board also said today that the balance sheet in the short term requires strengthening and it is working towards securing additional sources of finance in order to develop the business to its full potential.

Having invested in building the group's networks and the organisational capacity that operations require, the board said it now has the infrastructure in place to support longer term profitable growth.
