Acquisition of Stream Theory

Tadpole Technology today announces that it has signed a definitive agreement to
acquire Stream Theory, Inc., a California-based company that designs, develops,
and markets distribution platforms and technology for the centralised deployment
of management of application software over the Internet and across enterprise
networks, principally within the games market.

The acquisition is subject to approval by the shareholders of both companies and
supports Tadpole's vision to become the industry-standard for on-demand
streaming software. Through its Endeavors Technology subsidiary, Tadpole
currently addresses the enterprise market in the US and Europe; with Stream
Theory, it gains access and immediate revenues from the Japanese consumer games
markets, and a platform to penetrate other markets world-wide. The combined
entity will become an industry leader in the development of streaming solutions
for the enterprise and consumer games markets.

Stream Theory has signed an initial $9million exclusive distribution agreement
with a large Japanese broadband Internet provider; who will use Stream Theory's
server technology to distribute games and other software applications over its
broadband network.

Under the terms of the acquisition, Tadpole will buy the entire share capital of
Stream Theory for an initial consideration of $25 million in Tadpole shares at
the strike price of 15.75p. A further consideration will be payable in Tadpole
shares to Stream Theory's owners based on two times new revenues generated from
the Japanese broadband Internet provider, over the next two years.


Now do your own research!!

Fine.

Now

(a) why can't I find it on the web site?

(b) who is the OEM?

(c) if Stream Theory had a $9m deal, why did they sell out to Tadpole for paper? And a leveraged buy-out at that.

(d) why is Steig Westerberg dumping stock for trivial amounts of cash?

None of this makes sense to me -- unless the whole thing is cash-starved.

The only people involved in this company who are putting cash in are Gem, with massive dilution and a rapid exit following.


On edit: Hang on, I've done some research, Moneylender will be pleased to hear.

So Tadpole bought a privately-held company with a turnover of $1.6m, a loss of $0.4m, and net liabilities of $0.7m. With 10 employees. And they paid $25m in paper plus a leverage fee on future earnings (not that there will be any).

Then, Mr Steig of the Dump, now he has stock in a public company, starts to dump stock for small amounts of money (like $10k) -- because now he can -- to pay "a tax bill".

IMHO, Tadpole have been had. Mr Steig has liberated himself and his worthless company into $25m of public, tradeable stock from a zero-cash company on the basis of a a $9m deal that will never yield a brass cent.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mr Steig Westerberg, my nomination for dealmaker of the year -- at least for him.

MM you are too polite .... these are , and , always have been , a crock of sh*te ... regardless of what some of these ramping tw*ts would have you believe.

I only say it as I see it :-)

MightyMicro - 08 Jun 2005 00:09 - 1483 of 2262

Dil: read my edited mail 1480 above. And thank you, I try to be polite, although it can be a struggle sometimes.

Dil - 08 Jun 2005 00:23 - 1484 of 2262

I just don't bother try any more but I guess you just haven't noticed :-)

Sequestor - 08 Jun 2005 09:25 - 1485 of 2262

MM&Dil-I don`t know how you keep your patience, its magnificent

lol

snappy - 08 Jun 2005 17:09 - 1486 of 2262

ROFLOL!

Bring back the 'banned' Tadpole threads I say, or their could be mutiny at the NE traders meeting next week :-))

Moneylender/Yuff have you noticed how 'she' is trading south of the 50 and 200 moving averages with the threat of further gem drawdowns on the horizon.

She'll be trading down as low as a 1969 sherbert dip before too long :-))

snakey - 10 Jun 2005 21:51 - 1487 of 2262

should TAD go below 5p I will be in for another million. I seriously believe this is a major potential player, and I have been in and out many times over the years since it first came to the market, but it is only recently that I have seen their REAL capability.

MightyMicro - 11 Jun 2005 01:37 - 1488 of 2262

snakey:

OK, let's hear it: what is "their REAL capability"?

Also, since the company came to market, its profile has completely changed. Does its history have any bearing on its future?

Sequestor - 11 Jun 2005 13:17 - 1489 of 2262

relax MM its a well known double alias.

Moneylender - 11 Jun 2005 22:44 - 1490 of 2262

Ollie

You know all about aliases!
Just look at what you have done to 3i's

Dil - 12 Jun 2005 00:10 - 1491 of 2262

Bust by xmas imo.

Sequestor - 12 Jun 2005 09:55 - 1492 of 2262

LOL
I just love TAD people , the co. is going bust and all they can do is to moan on about a pitiful bb(iii), which pretends all is well, and blames the collapse on the posters who take the pee out of them- theres one here now posting about aliases at midnight, will they ever get lives?.
Have to say its sooo funny seeing them trying to guess whom all the near -named people are, particularly as I have personally telephoned iii and they assure me they are all different people, they don`t allow multiple aliases,
but of course TAdders can`t believe that more than one person can see it going bust soon, marvellous entertainment.
I expect the reason this thread is so quiet is the fault of multiple aliases too

amazing!!!!

snakey - 12 Jun 2005 23:16 - 1493 of 2262

Mighty Micro, their REAL capability now lies in the streaming of their software. Not just games but the systems they originally developed as pure sell out software, for remote communication and I know that what they offer has a tremendous potential in the construction industry let alone numerous other avenues that they are knowledgeable enough to be pursuing. They may owe lots of money and be dependant upon particular `bankers` (i.e. GEM)but what they have is pure software gold, IMHO and not necessarily humble.

snappy - 13 Jun 2005 08:24 - 1494 of 2262

piffle pure and simple, yet another unsubstantiated ramp

johnnyuk - 13 Jun 2005 09:40 - 1495 of 2262

snakey, tadpole is below 5p, so are you going to buy a million?
Why not phone Steig and do the deal directly, I'm sure he'll be more than happy to flog you a million at 4.75p.
Or was it all hot air?

pachandl - 13 Jun 2005 12:05 - 1496 of 2262

Some people seem to live on another planet! MY real worry is not that Tad will go bankrupt (I am assuming it will) but that it has world-beating software and STILL goes bankrupt (that is criminal in my books).
