ADDS BROKER COMMENTS---

Top Level Domain Holdings (LON:TLDH) is going head-to-head with web giants Google and Amazon in an unprecedented internet land grab.

“We are the fourth largest applicant in the world for new gTLDs after Donuts, Google, and Amazon and have significant financial resources,” executive Fred Krueger noted in the firm’s interim results covering the first half of 2013.

gTLDs are generic top level domains, recognisable as the final part of web site addresses, such as dot.com, dot.net, dot.org and, these days, weird and wonderful gTLDs such as dot.fishing, dot.beer and dot.london, which are just three of the domains the company has the right to allocate to applicants.

If you ever set up a company organising fishing days in London where the beers are kept cool in a keep-net, you know who to contact …

“Our cost base is lower than many of our competitors and we believe that we have the highest valued portfolio of geographic TLDs in the industry. Our servers and infrastructure have passed initial pre-delegation testing. In short, we are ready to go - both to launch and manage our portfolio of uncontested gTLDs, and those of our clients, as well as to monetise those contested applications where we take the view that a gTLD string is being over-valued by our competitors,” Krueger added.

The group is well funded following a £6.6mln fund-raising exercise earlier this year and the subsequent negotiation of a funding facility of up to US$15mln to support its participation in a prospective auction in relation to a specific contested gTLD.

At the end of June, cash and cash equivalents stood at £7.36mln, up from £2.32mln the year before.

The first half of 2013 was characterised by building for the future. Revenues in the period were just £7,000, versus £346,000 in the first half of last year, but the group reckons it may see its first revenues as a back-end registry operator – i.e. domain name registration service provider – in the final quarter of 2013, which should get the top line moving.

The development that should really juice-up revenues, however, is the launch of the dot.london gTLD which potentially could happen as early as the first half of next year.

As might be expected of a company building for the future, Top Level is currently loss-making. The first half of the year saw a loss before tax of £1.89mln, versus a loss of £1.55mln the year before.

House broker N+1 Singer says the company remains an exciting play into “the most significant development in the history of the Internet Domain Name System”.

That may sound a tad hyperbolic, but seeing as the company was formed in 2009 to capitalise on the sea-change in the internet domain name system, it is difficult to argue that Top Level’s time is about to come at last, with the broker saying “we are now in the home stretch”.

“It is worth noting that TLDH now has an economic interest in 25 uncontested generic, non-brand top-level domains and has applied for 48 additional names,” notes Tintin Stormont, at N+1 Singer.

“Its technical platform, alongside its industry and marketing experience helped it win the public tender bids for the highly valuable geographic gTLDs of London, Miami, Bavaria, Budapest, and North-Rhine Westphalia. In addition, it has also won the confidence of other large players, powering the applications of Bradesco (2nd largest bank in Brazil), the Republican Party in the US, and Tucows, the world’s third largest registrar,” she adds.

“We believe the next 12 months will be a momentous time for the company as the real value from its portfolio of gTLDs emerges; we believe that value is substantially underestimated by the current share price,” Stormont concludes.

yahoooooooooooooooooooooooo

remember asos, atuk and others early days - this is not dissimilar

Top Level Domain Hdg

Private Auction and gTLD Program Update


RNS Number : 3922R

Top Level Domain Holdings Ltd

25 October 2013






For immediate release

25 October 2013



Top Level Domain Holdings Limited

("TLDH" or the "Company")



Private Auction and gTLD Program Update



· TLDH to realise US$4.81 million (£2.97 million) in cash from .website and .lawyer private auctions

· ICANN delegates first four gTLDs into the Internet's Root Zone

· Company well positioned for growth and acquisition of further gTLDs



The directors of Top Level Domain Holdings (AIM:TLDH) are delighted to announce that following the private auctions for .website and .lawyer, which concluded late on 23 October 2013, the Company will add £2.97 million (US$4.81 million) to its cash reserves. The amount includes proceeds from the two private auctions, net of commissions payable to the auctioneer, and refunds due from ICANN in relation to each of the two applications.



Separately, the directors are pleased to report that the first four gTLDs under ICANN's New gTLD Program have now been delegated into the Internet's Root Zone. As expected, the first four gTLDs to be delegated by ICANN are in non Roman scripts - شبكة. (Arabic for "web/network"),.онлайн (Cyrillic for "online"), .сайт (Cyrillic for "site") and .游戏(Chinese for "game(s)").



Following the receipt of cash from the latest round of private auctions, the Company will have cash reserves of £10.1 million - as well as access to up to a further US$15 million to compete in a single auction. The reserves will allow the Company to continue growing its portfolio of uncontested applications and move its portfolio to launch. TLDH's portfolio of uncontested applications in which it has interests remains at 25, 17 of which it wholly owns.



Fred Krueger, Chairman of TLDH, said:

"We are delighted with the result of the latest private auction rounds. Our strategy remains to best monetise those applications where we see least value so that we can maximise our ability to acquire those names in which we see greatest value. We very much look forward to competing in the next private auction rounds. We are additionally delighted with the speed with which the first four gTLDs have moved from contract signing to delegation. This is a momentous point in the Internet's development and means there is a strong probability that our portfolio will move to cash generative positions within the time-frames previously indicated."
