I have started a new thread with a more formal thread title for ease so that everyone gets a chance to get in on this one.

I have copied the last few day's postings from the 'no hobby mags' thread.

If Kelvin MacKenzie is going to make a killing so am I! It's about time I did.

We don't want McKenzie going in through the back door - we want him to make a take over please!
lizard - 29 Aug 2005 09:13 - 23 of 35
only a matter of time imo!- i am sure he has the necessary people around him to make this happen.

I think this is going to be my 2005 Iomart and I am going to enjoy Christmas - fingers crossed anyway. I am surprised this thread is so quiet. But then Kelvin McK has been clever acquiring stock at the most quiet time of year - the week before August Bank Holiday when every man and their dog Spot and kids are in the South of France. Clever stuff.

I spent the weekend with a publisher friend and we went through the mags that HHO have - they have a few which can be really built up and sold for a fortune and the rest are dogs which need to be binned.

We can see what Kelvin is going to do and it is not difficult. HHO's websites are terrible and their subscriptions website is a disgrace - you have to work really hard to part with your money.

Look forward to this and wonder when others will join us Lizard and John50.

Fonty......i have been trying to work out their market cap, but can't find much on their website.......any idea what it is ?? (post restructure).

I assume that the final part of the current restructuring is the Board changes which are supposed to take effect at end of next month....
WOODIE - 30 Aug 2005 18:05 - 26 of 35
fonty what will you think he will do ,a full take over or a place on the board?
NielsJensen - 30 Aug 2005 18:11 - 27 of 35
Belisce6: I calculate they have around 317,330,979 shares so you can work it out from that.

Woodie - I think he will really develop the lad mag Front and develop some of the prosperous titles - anything to do with boats etc and dump non lucrative titles like Old Steam Engines!

If I was him and I had the opportunity I would take the whole sad affair over completely and make a killing. Get a brilliant team together, marketing team, attractive leggy blonds with brains on board to develop the 'sexy and powerful' mags and hand it over to my friend. He would turn it around in a couple of years and make a few million.

Alternatively, he could try and get a place on the board but let's face it - a man like Kelvin McKenzie - would he really settle for that? If I was him I would want to get rid of the existing board and be the Chairman and create my own Board. I can't see him playing 2nd fiddle - he's not the sort.

B6 - Market Cap is 9 mil - all the best
WOODIE - 31 Aug 2005 10:48 - 30 of 35
fonty what do you think the take out price would be as the last rns has not moved the s/price much.
FONTY - 31 Aug 2005 13:11 - 31 of 35
I wouldn't like to say but I bought in yesterday and I would like to see myself doubling my money at least but wouldn't we all.
FONTY - 31 Aug 2005 16:23 - 32 of 35
17% up from this morning - just made 1K so hope this is just the beginning.
Snip - 31 Aug 2005 16:28 - 33 of 35
I bought this morning on the basis of this chart. The p+f target is so high that it is off my screen


lizard - 31 Aug 2005 19:10 - 34 of 35
didn't they recently reject a 10pps offer?- the company is now better positioned with game win.

going to go towards 3p soon

one buy of 1.75 million shares at 2.05, and another for about 1.65 million shares at same price.....late in the afternoon - interesting.....

buying is over awaiting the rns

the reason the buying is over is the newspaper article this morning

where, what, why, when ??

there was nothing in the paper..

Cable & Wireless lifted by Microsoft bid buzz - Rumours of corporate restructuring at Highbury House Communications - Acquisition talk supports Croma Group
taken from todays d express if i write something it is fact.

katcenka when do think this will get to 3p ?as per your early post

in about 6 months woodie... or earlier ;-) suggest you read my posts on the adfvn board

Long Termers out there get excited about this one - I am planning my retirement or rather my next business in the next 3 years. Surprised this thread is so quiet

between GGG, COIL & HHO im planning my long and very friutfull retirement along the same lines as fonty (lets hope we are correct and not another ASR)

HTNRALPH - also bought THR in the hope to treble to then by more HHO to then do Voluntary work Overseas to fund time off work!

HTNRALPH - PS: I like the look of COIL.

its all quite on this thread today thought all the rampers would be saying the share price will go to 5p before xmas?

As a bottom fisher, couldn't resist the double bottom that appeared this morning so have come aboard with a small stake.
sd.

Not quite an all time low after the sell off but now very much bargain basement stuff. I hope Kelvin McK is up to the challenge with the prospect of heavy dilution to secure new funds.
sd.

So what is everyone's thoughts on the Debt for Equity dilution of shares here. At the current price of 0.7p is the dilution already factored in at this price? Should we worry if we buy in now?

Highbury House Communications plc ('Highbury House' or the 'Group')

Temporary suspension of shares

Highbury House announces that discussions with its lenders concerning a
refinancing of its indebtedness and a related issue of equity have now been
terminated. As a consequence, the Group has requested that dealings in its
shares be temporarily suspended pending clarification of its financial position.

Discussions continue between the Group and its lenders, which continue to be
supportive of the Group, and the future viability of the Group is dependent on
the successful conclusion of these discussions.

A further announcement will be made as soon as practicable.

highburywatcher the answer is in the above re your post of 10th dec

i feel the title to this thread should be altered 'an alert to a large loss' it amazes me why people tangle with entities like this.
