Agreement with Double Fusion

The Board of Playwize, the AIM quoted developer of software for the entertainment industry, is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with leading independent in-game advertising company Double Fusion Inc ('Double Fusion'). As a result Double Fusion will place advertising into Playwize's new PC game, Playwize Poker and online game Pokerwize (the 'Game').

The agreement will serve to enhance gamers' experience by making the 3-D environments, in which Game users play the Game, more authentic through the integration of brands from the real world. Players can customise their on-screen personas from a selection of different player models and outfits.

Playwize plans to generate awareness of the game's launch through a structured roll-out programme in conjunction with a number of media outlets.

Foo Katan, CEO of Playwize, said: 'With Playwize, we have sought to create a life-like poker room environment. Double Fusion's understanding of the gamer experience will extend the game's realism further and improve the Pokerwize
experience. The agreement will also generate incremental revenue.'

Well, its nice to see the Pokerwize.com page visit still building momentum (given that people only go there for download and not to play on line, and that it only covers a percentage of web users)

Also reach per million net users figure now up to 4.5, a jump of 169%.

A very good post on AFN, so copied over for reference.



opmoc - 12 Jan'07 - 14:05 - 4461 of 4461


I have recently increased my position at what I consider to be a very good price, for several reasons.

1. This is in effect a start-up company where large investors have injected significant capital at a share price considerably above current levels.

2. The business has gone live and appears to be well on target - and may even be ahead of target.

3. I believe the share price is suppressed for reasons completely unconnected with the progress of the company. These are

(a) US legislation which is almost completely irrelevant as the company never had any plans to target the US market.

(b) The assumption that there would be significant equity dilution at current levels due to the Headstart facility.

(c) Due to (b) I believe that there is in effect a significant short position - maybe even by Headstart or associates. (if I was in the same business as Headstart that is exactly what I would do in order to hedge my own financial position)

4. Foo is no fool. As he himself has very significant equity exposure, he would be highly unlikely to put this at risk of serious dilution. In his original business plan he will or (should have) already raised sufficient capital in order for the company to go live and become cash flow positive assuming that conservative targets were met.

5. If there is no equity dilution, the short positions will need to be closed, and this is a very illiquid stock. The shorts will only be able to be closed at whatever price existing holders are prepared to sell at. I believe most holders of this stock are long term, as true value is highly unlikely to be realised for at least a couple of years.

6. I believe that the capital injected into this company has been well used and not wasted as is the case with many similar companies of this size.

7. I believe the company has significantly more inherent value, than is indicated by its tiny Market Cap.

8. The details of the deal with Partouche have not been revealed but may be significantly better than has been assumed.

This remains a high risk investment, but I think it likely that the shareprice will be considerably higher than current levels in a couple of years time. They could of course go bust in which case I will lose my entire investment - but I think the odds are worth taking balancing the upside potential with the risk of total failure.

The Alexa ratings are also picking up for Pokerwize.com and lets not forget, you only need visit Pokerwize.com once, when you download the software, as when you play on line you do not access the Pokerwize.com site (unlike others, eg PKR.com, where you must go through the PKR web site each time in order to play)

Hi PP, I first held this stock a couple of years ago under the name of Bits corp. Currently prices are about a quarter of what I got out at, and I am considering holding again, purely out of my profits, therefore gaining a free ride. You suggested several reasons for why you think the price has been supressed. The one thing that slightly concerns me is, that if you can download pokerwise for free, how is the company going to make money from it. Is the only incentive the cash prizes.

PapalPower - 15 Jan 2007 10:57 - 80 of 128

oilyrag, its on line poker.

Pokerwize you play on line, as part of the Microgaming network. Playwize earn money from the rakes, like other Poker software companies do.

The old BITS which is the new Playwize, is not really about gaming software now, its about being an On Line Gaming company.

oilyrag - 15 Jan 2007 11:32 - 81 of 128

Ta, thought that they would only have produced the software, hadn't realised that the company had changed strategories.

PapalPower - 17 Jan 2007 13:59 - 82 of 128
