an article in the Independent reports: the shares rose 0.38p to 4.75p after Nick James, the managing director, bought 2 million shares at 4.4p each, taking his total holding to 7.1 million or 1.4 per cent of the company. Also helping Chorion higher was Evolution Beeson Gregory, which initiated coverage of the intellectual property company with a "buy" rating and an 8p price target.

Press Release

Parp-Parp!! Noddy SETS off on 10-month UK stage tour

London, February 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the successful launch of his new series on Channel Five and a best-selling video at Christmas, enduring children's favourite Noddy is taking his famous red and yellow taxi around the nation in a new family entertainment stage show Noddy and the Magical Day.

Launching on Friday, 14 February at the Epsom Playhouse, Surrey, Noddy and The Magical Day is scheduled for a mammoth 10-month tour that will take in 50 towns and cities across the UK. The one hour 40 minute show - which is expected to attract over a quarter of a million spectators during its 10-month run - is already a sell-out in Epsom where an extra performance has been added on.

"Demand for Noddy tickets has gone ballistic," said Phil Derrick, head of Children's Showtime Productions, the company producing the show. "Since his re-launch on Five and the success of his Christmas video, the interest in Noddy is higher than ever. We are even getting bookings for some of his December dates."

Children will delight in welcoming Toy Town favourites Big-Ears, Mr Plod, Tessie Bear, Mr Wobbly Man, Martha Monkey, Bumpy Dog and naughty goblins Sly and Gobbo - as well as a specially constructed red and yellow taxi that Noddy drives around on stage.

The show opens on Tessie Bear's birthday and Noddy has written a song for her. Mr Wobbly Man wants to give Tessie Bear a cake and Martha Monkey suggests some flowers. Those naughty goblins Sly and Gobbo suggest some jewellery - but watch out, it may be a trick!

Big-Ears also has a gift for Tessie Bear, a magic seed that will grow into a friendship tree with musical branches and leaves of gold. Noddy promises to look after the seed but is tricked out of it by Sly and Gobbo who want to grow the tree themselves, steal the gold leaves and become very rich.

Full of lively songs (taken from the new Five series Make Way for Noddy) and lots of interactive fun, Noddy and Magical Day is certain to delight young children from the ages of two to six.

Stephen Green, Director of Children's Brands at Chorion - the company that owns the rights to the Noddy character - said: "We know that children have an overwhelming desire to interact with Noddy. This production conveys the magic and fun of this classic character and leaves the audience with the feeling that they really have been to Toyland."

French trip for Noddy and friends
Nick Goodway, Evening Standard 17 February 2003

NODDY is about to take France by storm as owner Chorion has licensed a 100-episode, newly made Make Way for Noddy series to France 5, the terrestrial channel owned by France Television.


The deal follows the success of the new Noddy series on Britain's Five and the fact the video Noddy and the New Taxis sold 130,000 copies, beating the Tweenies and Bob the Builder last Christmas. The series will start on 3 March under the French title of Oui-oui, in reference to Noddy's characteristic nodding head.


France 5, which claims a 40% share of the market in programmes for four-to-10-year-olds, or 300,000 children, has allied with publisher Hachette and Universal Pictures Video (France) for a three-week promotional push this spring, with a treasure hunt to cross-promote the TV series, books and videos. Noddy sells a million books a year in France, oustripping sales in the UK.


For those who need to know (France 5 is available on Sky over here), Noddy's friends across the Channel are Potiron (Big Ears), Le Gendarme (Mr Plod), Mirou (Tessie-Bear) and Zim (Bumpy Dog) who, naturally, all live in Miniville (Toytown).




2003 Associated Newspapers Ltd.

London, March 02 /PRNewswire/ -- Agatha Christie is the nation's favourite spoken book author, outselling even JK Rowling and JRR Tolkein in overall audiobook sales, a newly published report has revealed.

Agatha Christie, who wrote her first book more than 80 years ago, sold 117,696 tapes in 2002, compared to 97,755 for JK Rowling, 78,770 for Roald Dahl and 75,841 for JRR Tolkein, her nearest rivals in the spoken word market.

Christie also dominates the mystery market, accounting for the top three sellers and 14 of the top 20 bestselling audiobooks.

The top-selling Christie audiobook of 2002 was the Hercule Poirot murder mystery After The Funeral, read by Hugh Fraser (who plays Hastings in the LWT Poirot series) and published by HarperCollins AudioBooks.

Mathew Prichard, grandson of Agatha Christie, and chairman of Agatha Christie Ltd (a Chorion company) said: "This is wonderful news. It's extraordinary to think that the market for audiobooks, which hardly existed when my grandmother was alive, is one in which she now dominates more than 25 years after her death."

The annual audiobook sales - covering fifty two weeks to December 28, 2002 - were compiled by Nielsen Bookscan and published in the current issue (Feb 28) of Audio Bookseller trade magazine.

COMPANIES & FINANCE UK & IRELAND: Chorion breathes life into Agatha
By Sophy Buckley
Financial Times; Apr 08, 2003


Armchair who-dunnit fans owe a debt of gratitude to Chorion after the intellectual rights company yesterday signed a deal with ITV for a minimum of 16 new Agatha Christie dramas.

Chorion, which also owns the rights to Noddy, has agreed a four-year deal to produce the period dramas, thought to be worth about 1.5m a year.

The move will reassure Ms Christie's more traditional fans, after Chorion and ITV last month revealed they were killing off the chintz and the bakelite telephones and injecting a dose of sex and glamour for a one-off contemporary adaptation of Sparkling Cyanide, written in 1945.

A person close to Chorion said yesterday the productions were designed to bring Agatha Christie to the widest possible audience.

Adrian Kearsey, at Evolution, the company's broker, called the latest deal an important step for Chorion. "It brings a fair degree of certainty of earnings for the company," he said.

The news comes a day ahead of full-year figures. Evolution has forecast pre-tax profits of 2.5m on turnover of 9.2m. Chorion is also expected to give an update on the disposal of the children's division, which it put up for sale last November for about 30m.

Results for the year ended 31 December 2002



Chorion to build children's division on back of Noddy success



Group turnover 9.3 million (2001: 9.8 million)
EBIT DA (and non-recurring items) 4.1 million (2001: 6.1 million)
Total net assets per ordinary share up from 2.3p in 2001 to 9.2p



Crime Brands

Turnover from crime brands up by 12% to 5.6 million
Christie re-branding has increased book sales by 25% worldwide since
launch
Over 1.2 million units of Agatha Christie UK partwork series sold in 2002
75% of crime brands publishing revenue now covered by minimum guarantee

Children's Brands

UK Noddy re-launch a huge success creating a 'must have' children's brand
Make Way for Noddy on Five wins 20% audience share amongst 4-9 year-olds
Noddy tops pre-school Christmas video charts in UK
Chorion to retain and develop children's division





William Astor, non-executive Chairman of Chorion, said:



'Chorion has transformed Noddy into a 'must have' brand, demonstrating our
ability to enhance the value of classic children's properties. We have
therefore decided to keep and develop our children's division - building a
dynamic media brand business with considerable growth potential'.



Nicholas James, Managing Director of Chorion, said:



'These results reflect the tough market conditions experienced by companies
across the media sector. However, our Christie publishing programme has been
hugely successful - with dramatically increased book sales and popular new
publishing formats launched. In addition, we have taken steps both to guarantee
future revenues and open up growth opportunities in the year ahead. We enter
2003 with greater earnings visibility than ever before and with clear objectives
that will enhance profitability going forward.'

LONDON (AFX) - Chorion PLC said it remains excited by its children's business and is confident of being able to drive growth from it in the next few years, as it announced a sharp drop in pretax profit for the year to Dec 31 2002, largely due to its demerger from Urbium Bars.
Chorion said it is entering 2003 "with greater earnings visibility than ever before", and has decided to retain and develop the children's division on the back of its success from the relaunch of Noddy.

Following the completion of the strategic review, Chorion said that Waheed Alli is to take over as chairman and William Astor will take on his role as deputy chairman, while Nicholas James will be chief executive.

"Chorion has transformed Noddy into a 'must have' brand, demonstrating our ability to enhance the value of classic children's properties. We have therefore decided to keep and develop our children's division - building a dynamic media brand business with considerable growth potential," said William Astor, currently non-executive chairman.

Hi ains

looks like a bit of flannel to me

not much point in increasing chrisite sales when they are giving 36% away in minority interests

I guess there are no real surprises that I can see and the market seems to be satisified but will have a closer look at the detail later tonight .....

the real point is that the compny has significantly overvalued its children's rights and has been unable to sell them - if they really were that valuable the company would have had no problem flogging them in this sort of market. valuations are down and 'good quality' rights are hard to come by. yet another u-turn by the management but heopfull this is still the legacy of tamblyn. worrying lack of news on the Christie TV front, which begs concerns that the company has also had problems there. not really much reason for buying in.

hmmmmmmmmm ...... can I suggest you read my first post of the day :-))

Chorion looks high enough Indy

The famous Five are not quite as celebrated as they once were, but Chorion hopes to change all that. Similarly, it doesn't want the Secret Seven to stay a secret much longer. The media rights group is hoping to realise the unexploited potential for spin-offs from these books.

It considered selling its rights to the treasure chest of characters and stories, but couldn't attract bids near the 30m it wanted. So it is back in the toy box for Noddy and the folk of the Faraway Tree, and shareholders are certainly much better served this way than through a cut-price sale. Although it took a long time to get commissioned, the Make Way for Noddy television programme on Five is now a huge success, winning a 20 per cent audience share among four- to nine-year olds.

Chorion's crime brands division, the home of Agatha Christie's back catalogue, is going great guns. Turnover there rose 12 per cent to 5.6m last year. There's no mystery here: since a rebranding in 1999, Christie book sales are up 25 per cent to 4 million a year.

Chorion awaits a lift from Noddy
By Rosie Murray-West (Filed: 09/04/2003) Telegraph


Chorion, which owns the rights to Enid Blyton's books and Agatha Christie's crime novels, said yesterday that Noddy was a "must-have" children's brand, despite a slump in full-year profits.

Nicholas James, managing director, said sales had fallen from 9.84m to 9.27m, while profit before tax plunged from 4.87m to 433,000.

He said: "These results reflect the tough market conditions experienced by companies across the media sector. We have taken steps both to guarantee future revenues and open up growth opportunities in the year ahead."

Mr James, who will become chief executive following a recent strategic review, said Aim-listed Chorion would now concentrate on developing its children's brands, rather than selling them, which had been a possibility.

The company said it had received offers for the Enid Blyton properties after appointing a media finance house to look at selling the business, but the offers received would not have delivered best value for shareholders.

It said the slump in profit was partly due to one-off costs associated with becoming a standalone plc, and the termination of a contract in China after a patent default. Chorion shares fell 0.2 to 3.75p.

scotsman

CHORION, the brand creation business which owns the rights to Noddy, said it remains excited by its childrens business and is confident of being able to drive growth from it in the coming years, as it announced a sharp drop in pre-tax profit for the year to 433,000 against 4.02 million previously.

It blamed the fall on a number of factors, including a rise in overheads associated with being a standalone plc and substantial one-off costs. Turnover for the year fell slightly to 9.3 million compared with 9.8 million.

Apparently Muffin the Mule is about to make a comeback and discusses the situation with Noddy and Co on page 2 of the Times T2 supplement today




ains

LOL!!!!

maybe he should tell the mm to stop selling 250k to his mate everyday

I agree on that ..... often wonder if they are printing the damn things

looks like the fall back to 3p is about to occur.........will it fall even lower?

The latest annual report has just dropped through the letterbox ...... will make an interesting read later - I guess. The shares seem to take on a life of their own and always multiply like rabbits on the down swing .....




ains

Tick up this morning with some big trades going throgh

Ticked up again this morning after early backwardisation - now 3.5/3.75p plus 7.41%

ANOTHER KDC disaster

PRICE TODAY MID 3.625, at start of thread 4.375

DOWN -17%, and you still post

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

from the header post - Last bought these at 3.75p a few months ago

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
KDC replies, still a loser

okay - i'll admit it, i fancy some COR

keep waiting for 3.25p offer and everytime it falls near - up it goes

very odd

and not at all sure what the MM sales are for

reasons for buying - just a hunce

decks are clear, strategy is clear, this will take 18months to seriously move imho but will do so as and when US penetration is announced (and no i don't mean Noddy to move into "adult entertainment") and a major master toy licence comes along

like i say 12-18 month timeframe - until then buy on dips

It is odd .... I think much of the trading is between the mm's in one wway or another. Someone takes a trade and then sets about off loading part of it and knocking down the other mm's to try and get a level playing field.

I have been watching them for a while and buying in the dips makes sense. The charts look favourable and they are abov the triangular moving average I use as an indicator.

At the moment three of the 8 mm's are red - brought about by the mm to mm activity 2.4


ains

agree - there seems to be constatnt selling but if it sniffs 3.5p then up it goes again

the problem with COR is its too predictable

the min guarantees ane good but all they mean is that the cash is received up front and not over the course of the year. In themselves they mean nothing as to the total amount that will accrue in a year

positives are that the management has at least got a clear strategy and that Poirot is on for 4 new programmes a year for 4 years which underpins turnover at around 9.5m a year when book sales are factored in, imho

any outperform will come from

1. french penetration
2. UK Merchandising on back of new Noddy deals and increasing awareness
3. move of noddy into US
4. development of famous five

sale of "Make Way for Noddy" to France will aid part 1 - France is traditionally Noddy's second largest market
Part 2 is already underway - needs the rest of the video range to be released and then hopefully a master deal to be signed before christmas
Part 3 - the big ???????? - who knows - interesting to see the new bloke from Mattel though - sure he has good connections
imho the last is ripe for UK childrens serialisation and seems next on the list of developments

was bearish on this but for some reason COR appeals and drags me back

good luck to all who may sail upon her

they have disapointed - mostly because of the demerger and the lack of management focus. The mooted sale of Noddy didn't help and pleased to see this has been abandoned. Noddy is always one of the first childrens charactors you think of and still a lot of mileage to exploit imho.

this from sharecast a week or so ago - talking about brands


Chorion

Noddys comeback has sparked off a success story for publishing and TV production group Chorion, albeit a late one. The group said that delays in launching the childrens character had hit profits for the year, but that it was set to reap rewards in 2003. In fact, Noddy has proved so successful for Chorion that it has decided to keep the Enid Blyton portfolio, and develop a full childrens division on the basis of it.


I am happy starting from here and currently breaking evens but looking forward to more overseas sales

this if from the sun last wk

looks like a mm sell @ 4p


ains

still waiting for it to go down but may have missed the boat

unless there is some news on which this is based i reckon it will fall back on some profit taken from the 3.5p levels

but i could be wrong

;-)

up 6.45% this morning - all 7 mm's are blue and 4 on the bid .....

it was a choice between EVS and COr and imho EVS represents the greater level of under valuation and hence the greater scope

i do note though that the dirs bought a shed load at higher prices

and those Noddy Videos - well they would appear to be selling very well - ;-)

what did you pay for EVS - they are quiet today

2.25p

nice one :-)

makes a change - and the directors themselves bought some in Jan at 3.64p so they must know something

if the price does not fall back i think i'll get some COR anyhow

valuations of certain companies are just too low at the moment

Chorion buys Mr Men for 28 million pounds
Fri 30 April, 2004 07:27

LONDON (Reuters) - Chorion, home to children's character Noddy, says it has bought Mister Films and the rights to the Mr Men characters for 28 million pounds.

The media firm COR.L also said on Friday it would raise 16.5 million pounds through the placing of 8.1 million new shares to fund the production of an Enid Blyton pre-school character and the development of more of its children's properties such as Blyton's The Famous Five.

CAS Chorion : Buys THO,Mister Films
30-Apr-2004 07:14

Chorion PLC today said that it has
reached agreement to acquire the entire
issued share capital of each of THO and
Mister Films through its wholly owned
subsidiary, MML.
THO is the owner of the works created
by Roger Hargreaves in the Mr. Men and
Little Miss characters and the rights
and assets relating thereto, save for
the film, television and stage rights
to the Mr. Men and Little Miss
Characters, which are owned by Mister
Films.
The total consideration for the
acquisitions is #28m (plus an amount
equal to any cash left in THO at
completion of the THO acquisition) and
will be satisfied by the issue of
4,500,000 6% cumulative redeemable
non-convertible preference shares of
100p each in the capital of the Company
and the payment of #23.5m in cash (of
which #500,000 is payable with interest
at 6%. per annum by November 2007),
which is being financed by new
facilities which Chorion has negotiated
with Barclays Bank PLC.
The Company also announces a placing,
which is being underwritten by
Evolution Beeson Gregory Ltd, to raise
#16.5m (approximately #15.75m net of
expenses). The net proceeds of the
placing will be used predominantly to:
fund the production of a second Enid
Blyton pre-school character; and fund
the development of more of Chorion's
children's properties such as The
Famous Five and Amelia Jane.

For the purposes of financing the cash
element of the acquisitions and the
associated costs, Chorion has
negotiated new term loan and revolving
credit facilities with Barclays Bank
PLC totalling, in aggregate, #27.5m.
These new facilities replace the
Group's existing revolving credit
facilities of which #5.5m is currently
drawn down (representing a current net
debt position of approximately #3.5m).
These new facilities are separate from
its revolving TV film production
funding facility which will remain in
place.
The Directors currently have
beneficial interests in, in aggregate,
561,831 ordinary shares, representing
approximately 3.3%. of the Company's
existing issued ordinary share capital.
The Directors intend to invest, in
aggregate, a further #1.345m for a
total of 662,562 Placing Shares through
participating in the placing on the
same terms as other new investors.

Noddy - The year has started well
with a deal announced in March whereby
Chorion has awarded mainland Chinese
rights to the computer generated
animated series "Make Way for Noddy"
and associated products to the
Beijing-based academic publisher, the
Foreign Language Teaching and Research
Press.
Noddy's success also continues in its
core territories (the UK and France).
The new Noddy video and DVD in the UK,
"Noddy and the Treasure Map", was the
biggest-selling new pre-school release
in its first week, with 11,527 units
sold. In February and March 2004 the
series was the highest-rated pre-school
show among 3 to 5 year olds.
In France, research conducted by
marketing agency Logistix Baby Track
has found that Noddy is the most
popular TV pre-school character for 2-4
year olds. "Make Way for Noddy"
continues to dominate the lunchtime
slot on the terrestrial network France
5 with an average audience share of
approximately 40% amongst 4 to 10 year
olds. In addition, Chorion has formed
a partnership with Editions Cobra, a
licensee, to produce a monthly Noddy
magazine with DVD or video sold in
newsagents across the country. In its
first two weeks of sale, demand was
such that after initial sales of more
than 300,000 copies, an additional
200,000 had to be printed to satisfy
demand.
The current Poirot series on ITV has
been a success and the new Miss Marple
series, which goes into production this
year, will also be screened on ITV.

ICV Edited News from Dow Jones
0614 GMT Apr 30 2004

There was a good write up in Sunday Times - apparently lots of experienced investors are puttinmgbthis one away for their kids portfolios!!!!

Back in march, Chorion announced the rollout of Noddy in china. There are 95 million chinese children under the age of 5. Huge potential if they take to it. Chorion's interim announcement is due second week of september.

Noddy goes to America!
Chorion announced today that they have made an agreement with a major U.S. tv channel to launch Noddy in 2005. This is the big breakthrough they have been waiting for.
Excellent interim results also announced today. Pre-tax profits more than doubled. EPS up from 0.4p in H1 2003 to 1.8p.

Lets hope all the good news has a positive impact on the SP. It needs to double from here as I'm still hodling from pre split from Urbium days some 2/3 years ago.! :)

Yes Skyhigh, but you must have made a few groats on the URMs which rose sharply I seem to recall. This may be a medium term hold from here IMHO ;).

Citywire recommended Chorion as a good lockaway following yesterday's interim announcement of the good progress made. It said Chorion's performance should be even better in the second half to end-december. Chorion's performance is normally weighted to the last 6 months of the year.

Citywire liked the fact that the company has met all of its objectives with good progress across all of its brands.

With first half turnover up from 4.2 to 7.6 million and the shares still very cheap at a prospective P/E of 12.5, there should be plenty of upside to come

Chorion has broken through to it's highest price since june 2002. Up 11p yesterday, another 4p this morning.

In this weeks Shares mag. Chorion was a "play of the week". Shares pointed out that the Noddy deal with U.S. T.V. channel PBS Kids which is carried on 349 stations plus satellite will take Noddy into 99% of American homes. The real earnings will come once the merchanising deals get signed. This takes time, but is a huge landmark.

Agreed PA, COR may fly like URM or Cairn. Let's wait and see.

big crossing trades going through just now. Any thoughts out there. Options granted yesterday

Noddy goes to japan. Excellent news as japan is the 2nd largest toy market after the U.S. Miss Marple has already gone there ahead of him.

This should keep the price momentum firmly in the uptrend. Its gained about 25% in the past 6 months.

Yes. It's good news and hopefully the price will continue to climb.
For me, it needs to reach about 4.00 before I'm in profit as, and probably like most long term holders, I bought in before they split off Urbium and also the consolidation... still, at least it's going in the right direction at last ! :)

Cant understand why there isnt a load more interest in this stock on here

I'm surprised that the share price hasn't been a bit more lively today, given the glowing write-up in 'Shares' magazine.

Maybe tomorrow when a few more people have read it?

Maybe there's more interest in ERT?

C'mon Noddy! Wakey Wakey ! 4+ beckons

More good comments/buy recommend in IC I hear !

so guys -why the positive buy trend - any news out there

Good viewing figures for recent TV repeats of Poirot...(new episodes in the making) Noddy doing well... all bodes well for the next set of interims early next month :)

There was a tip from Trendwatch.co.uk reported on the iii bb. ADVFN bb commented on the same good sentiment that skyhigh reported. The volume is running at around 60% of the 100day avg.

skg

It's looking good.... Still need it to get to 4.00 to break even (before the split a couple of years ago)....

My break even is 4.83 This and URM are among my capital loss bankers. All the years I didn't have enough gains to offset, now that I might they are disappearing.
Mustn't grumble.

skg

next step rise coming up ! (imho) 4-4.5 run up due
