Mediasurface Bites the Bullet and Snaps Up SMB Vendor
Thu, 7 Apr 2005

7th April 2005, Newbury, UK: Mediasurface plc, the leading AIM listed content management provider, today announced the acquisition of Class-Act Bv, the Netherlands-based supplier of the Silverbullet content management system. The deal, for the intellectual property of the Silverbullet product and services of its authors, is worth 400,000 euros, made up of part cash and equity.
Silverbullet is a low-cost ASP solution with numerous customers and profitable revenue streams. The company reported revenues of 480,000 euros for the year ending December 04. Based on proven Microsoft technology including a SQL Server database and using .NET technology, Silverbullet allows small to medium-sized organisations to set up a website quickly, at a very low cost, taking advantage of predefined layouts and styles that can be tailored to reflect corporate branding and individual customers' preferences.

This deal allows Mediasurface to cover the full range of customers seeking content management solutions: from low-end to high-end, both through the Silverbullet product and Mediasurface Morello. It also offers Silverbullet customers continuity, enhanced support and infrastructure as well as a clear upgrade path said Stefan van der Horst, Class-Acts CEO.

Lawrence Flynn, CEO of Mediasurface said: This is a proven product in the SMB (Small and Medium Business) space and enables us to penetrate a new marketplace and expand geographically and be profit enhancing. The hosted route is one we have been contemplating for some time now. None of our competitors and no-one else at the high end has yet gone down this route to market. We are an innovative, progressive thinking company and have been first to market with many solutions this is just another example

He continued: There is no conflict of interest between our Morello product and Silverbullet. Cost is the issue that has in the past prevented SMBs from benefiting from reliable content management solutions from the big name vendors. A low priced SMB solution is not something we could have offered based on our current model.

Continued product development of Silverbullet is assured in line with the needs of the marketplace it addresses. Silverbullet, which is likely to be re-named in line with the Mediasurface brand, will be available as a rental solution only, whilst Mediasurface and Morello will only be offered as licensed products.

Sold out my tiny holding of MSR this week - not because I have doubts about their future but rather because I have rather good feelings about small-cap oil co's at the moment. Have invested in BLR. I'll be keeping an eye on this one, though.

This little share is about to breakout IMHO. The market has been waiting for the launch of pepperio to the SME market.

Max

Time to revive this thread - MSR is about to break out it looks like after great annual results and a lot further to go in 2007 - some say profits to double this year. Recently recommended by Tom Bulford on RHPS.

I bought in this morning, but does not yet seem to be showing.

sd

Looks like Gartmore topped up from 8% top 8.838% on Monday.

http://focus.selftrade.co.uk/focus/marketfocus/watchlists/index.html

Or have I read that impossible form wrong?

Why no interest in this stock on here? Stocks up another 18% since last post above.

sd I wondered where you had been hiding - access method was to find a juicy bone and see who was chewing it. Bought in for my daughter's portfolio but timing not great - I expect some profit taking with (relative) dearth of news. But I understand the sector from my own earlier involvement and I like their customer base, the nature of their contracts, the sell on potential and the software maintenanance revenue. They seem to have a very nice niche with good US potential. I think that they will be seen to have been very much undervalued in a year's time, partly because the nature of the company and cumulative revenues is not properly understood.

Eric

Good to see Gartmore adding another 2% to their holding taking them above 10%. They are obviously really positive about the growth pattern. They do seem to have leadership in a significant niche. This could allow continuous long-term growth. a la Sage, or make them a tempting takeover target.

Eric

How ya keepin', Eric?

Used to be fun on these boards a while back, but don't see so many of the old faces around. Partly my fault for migrating to the other place which takes (wastes!) so much of my time.

Found some interesting stocks over the year, not all of which have been successful, but sloooowwwwlly, I think I am starting to get the hang of what suits my investing personality.
Still in ASC, COH, DGT(!), DEBT(!!) and SEO(!!!) but also in LUP, MYH, MSR, RCG, WNG. Looking for an exit point for my oils which I really do not understand. Very happy with my mines EUM and KMR both due to come on stream this year and looking positive.

If only I could bring myself to operate my stop losses as set, I'd be a lot wealthier by now!

All the best,
sd

Hi, my doggy friend - man's best friend, the dog! Don't think Tony Blair has a dog. Queen has lots of dogs.

Not like the old days, is it? The SEO thread still amongst the most active, despite its relative demise. I like this one; still in DGT and ASC plus AZM (of course), BNH and JR. Not so active as little free funds - outgoings tend to exceed income in retirement. Never believed in stop losses anyway; my observation is that the automatic ones kick in at the wrong time and the personally operated ones tend to get over-ridden by 'logic'.

Good piece in Shares today about MSR. Agree thoroughly. The FO example hits the nail on the head: mega licence fees which go straight to the bottom line; significant fees involvement then on-going maintenance and enhancement. At the moment they appear to have a corner of the market and I am not aware of effective competition. They also appear to be very active in product development which will make it very difficult for new entrants. I don't see why the upward trend should persist for some time.
