Eaga, no news yet then Kyoto?.

No. But as you suggested on the Eaga thread, it's all about the P/E at float and the risk/reward of buying in. Unless there's some scope for riding the initial wave of hype in an overvalued situation. If it develops a buzz then it's going to end up being priced at the top end of the range and I prefer to look for the SOLA type opportunities. Has anyone called Brewin to ask if they have a date range in mind or if there's any scope for participating in the IPO proper?

If they announce anything more concrete though my systems will probably pick it up and it will get posted here automatically. Sometimes these intention to float statements come to nothing in my experience and sometimes it takes a long time before the package is put together. I assume that given Eaga's financials they aren't going to have any trouble getting sufficient buy-in to float but you never know what might happen in the interim.

Flat speaker specialist Immersion Technologies International lists on Aim today and unlike many of its junior market peers is already far along the research and development path with some big orders set up. The London-based group, whose products can be found in Aston Martins and Jaguars, joined Aim via a reverse takeover of St James's Energy. It expects to break into profit by mid-2009, thanks largely to a deal with technology firm Nakamichi. A report by Objective Capital values the business at 50m. Immersion chief executive Craig Evans cites a gap in the market as TVs get flatter but speakers fail to keep pace. Immersion's products start at 8mm thick. The group is also in talks with several consumer electronics companies to supply them with tailor-made speakers.

The Guardian (last paragraph)

Small-cap traders are excited about the prospects for St James' Energy following a successful reverse takeover by the high-definition acoustics speaker manufacturer Immersion Technologies, the name under which the shares will begin trading this morning. The group's objective capital report indicates that it expects the business to have a value of close to 50m following the transaction, almost 10 times its current market capitalisation. The shares closed 0.17p better at 1.42p.

A British company that has developed an "emission free" electric scooter has appointed HSBC to undertake a strategic review which could lead to a flotation.

Vectrix, founded by inventor Andrew MacGowan, has appointed the investment bank to look at the best option for taking the business forward financially.

A flotation could see the company valued at up to 200m. It is thought any float would be made on London's Aim market.

Vincent Lo, the Hong Kong-based billionaire behind Shanghai's famous Xintiandi entertainment district, has unveiled plans to lock into China's largely-untapped property market.

Mr Lo, who founded Shui On, one of Hong Kong's flagship corporate names, more than 35 years ago, told The Daily Telegraph that China Central Properties (CCP), a new company that will initially house a portfolio of existing development projects, would consider a listing on London's Aim market in the next few months.

Deutsche Bank has been appointed to advise on the flotation, which is expected to value CCP at several hundred million pounds.

IPOs/Flotations - Monday 16 April, 2007DragonWave Inc - 19/04/07Hargreaves Lansdown - Intention to floatNetDimensions (Holdings) - 02/05/07

One of the country's biggest and best-known private investor firms is coming to the stock market, making fortunes for its founders and owners.

Peter Hargreaves, 60, and Stephen Lansdown, 54, will each collect around 70m cash. They still own about 40% each of Hargreaves Lansdown, the business they started 26 years ago.

Analysts reckon the business will be valued at between 650m and 700m, which means it would automatically enter the FTSE 250 index.

Hargreaves float worth 70m to owners

A COMPANY which supplies `smart meters' to help businesses monitor their energy consumption and cut their bills is to become the latest north west firm to float on the stock market.

BGlobal aims to raise up to 7m for expansion when it lists on AIM later this month. The firm, which employs 70 staff, is expected to have a market value of up to 25m.

Analysts believe the Blackburn-based business, founded in 2003 by chief executive Peter Kennedy, 55, could see sales rocket from 2.75m in the 12 months to March 31 to almost 30m within two years,with losses of 2.4m being turned into pre-tax profits of 7.4m.
