Major new content partnership deal with Essel Group



Audioboom (AIM: BOOM), the audio social media platform, announces a major new content deal with Essel Group ('Essel'). Essel is one of India's leading conglomerates, with a portfolio of entertainment and news channels including:



- Zee Entertainment Enterprises ('ZEE') one of India's leading television media and entertainment companies, reaching over 730 million viewers across 169 countries. ZEE owns a number of digital properties, including Ditto TV, India's first premium television distribution platform, delivering live news, sports, soaps and music to mobiles, tablets, laptops and connected TVs. ZEE also owns Ditto Suno which delivers audio content to GPRS, 3G and WAP enabled mobiles, providing content across many genres, in Hindi and other regional languages;



- Zee Media Corporation is India's largest news network, with 10 channels, reaching over 130 million viewers through channels and digital properties such as zeenews.com and dnaindia.com. It reaches about 84% of India's population.



Audioboom is working with companies and brands across Essel Group, including Zee TV, DNAindia, India.com's key brands including CricketCountry, BollywoodLife and TheHealthSite. Initially, Audioboom will provide over 30 new channels, allowing embedding and sharing of content across websites, apps and social media and live reporting from the field by ZeeTV reporters and journalists.



There is also a considerably bigger market opportunity that Audioboom and Essel are currently developing. As well as targetting the estimated 100m+ smartphone users in India, there are an estimated 750m+ 'feature phone' users who access news, sport and entertainment content over WAP and IVR systems. Audioboom and Essel will be developing a technology solution that will connect Audioboom's content platform to Zee's IVR systems.



This will mean Essel's portfolio of brands and Audioboom will be able to instantly broadcast content to smart phones, feature phones and basic phone lines via IVRs, offering paid premium or free sponsored callback content to over 750m users across the Indian sub-continent. Work is ongoing and at an early stage, but this technology will provide Audioboo and Essel access to one of the largest and fastest growing media markets in the world.



Rob Proctor, CEO of Audioboom, commented: "We are delighted that Essel and its many global media properties are partnering with us. This gives us the prospect of reaching hundreds of millions of smart and feature phone users, providing them with free and paid for news, sport and entertainment audio content and providing content partners and advertisers with the technology to reach this important market.



"This is a significant deal for Audioboom; it establishes our brand in the Indian sub-continent with a major media partner, creates immediate operational scale and establishes a clear path to monetisation. I look forward to further developments as the technology and content is rolled out across India and intend that this deal becomes a template we will replicate with other global media companies. "

Small Cap Value Report (26 Aug 2014) - BQE, BOOM, CNC

Audioboom (LON:BOOM)

Share price: 9.125p
No. shares: 466.5m
Market Cap: £42.6m

Special Offer: Invest like Buffett, Slater and Greenblatt. Click here for details »

This share is an interesting speculation. It cannot be described as anything else, as on fundamentals you would probably value it at less than cash (i.e. below £3.1m in cash reported at end May 2014). So why is it valued so highly, considering that it has today reported dismal interim results? Well, part of the reason is that it was a shell company, and the company which reversed into it, called AudioBoo, is only reporting 11 days figures in the interims to 31 May 2014 reported today, the deal having been completed on 20 May 2014.

So the interim figures today don't really matter, which is a good job, as they show turnover of just £24k, and a pre-exceptional loss of £745k.

I should add at this point that I spotted the highly speculative potential here a couple of months ago, and bought some stock. It's not a value or GARP share, it's a pure speculation. Having said that, I think it's potentially very interesting for the following reasons. It is currently the UK market's only Listed social media share. The company is trying, through the AudioBoo platform, to become the world's YouTube, but for audio (instead of video).

That may sound ambitious, but they've already made a lot of progress - AudioBoo has 2.8m registered users at 25 Aug 2014 - growth of 100% in 12 months, and importantly this is happening with no marketing spend, growth is viral. What I've noticed is that when I find audio links on Twitter, they are very often hosted by AudioBoo. The company is collecting & managing audio content from many top media companies, e.g. the BBC, Sky, radio companies, etc. Users can then create their own radio station of audio content that appeals to them. This can then be monetised in various ways, e.g. advertising. However, as with most social media companies, it's likely to be cash burning for some time).

It might all sound bonkers to value investors, who look for assets, cashflows & divis, but this isn't a value investment, it's a fashionable growth company, where in my view I saw that it was going up, bought some as a complete punt, and will probably sell half at some point, and run the rest for free. So I am putting a massive, flashing neon wealth warning sign in front of this share, it's a total punt - but that's what people probably thought about Facebook, Twitter, etc, when they were small & growing rapidly.

The user interface with AudioBoo is rubbish in my view, at the moment. I tried it on my iPad and iPhone, and was very disappointed. However, the company is set to launch a new, all singing, all dancing user interface in Sept this year, which could provide some excitement if it's good.

A content deal in India is announced today, which sounds interesting.

So in summary, the figures are terrible, and the valuation is nuts. However, at the moment that doesn't really matter, because investors are prepared to take it to a higher & higher valuation. Bear in mind that in the USA social media companies are often valued on $x per user, and growth rates are taken into account too. So if AudioBoo manage to continue growing their user base rapidly, and get a decent App out there, then who knows maybe one of the heavyweights (e.g. Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc) might bid for it at a stratospheric valuation? Sounds crazy, but it's happening quite often at the moment - with paper on a wacky valuation, those giants can afford to shell out mad prices for bolt on acquisitions.

Anyway, it's easy to scoff, but just look at the chart below - nobody who owns shares in this will be complaining!

I should also note that this company's ticker, BOOM, is my second favourite ticker. This is great fun when telephoning an order through to your broker, as you can invoke various comedy voices, and make them jump by saying the ticker very loudly! (my favourite ticker is ZZZ for Snoozebox)

EDIT: Another point worth mentioning, is that in an announcement on 23 Jul 2014, about new content, BOOM said;

The Company has recently been approached by certain investors who have expressed interest in investing capital into the business. The Board considered these approaches, as the Company is growing very rapidly and additional personnel are required in new offices and in content management to direct this expansion. The Board has, however, decided that the number of initiatives in progress mean that this is not an appropriate time to raise further capital.

Now we don't know the amount, or price, of new funds being offered to BOOM by investors, but this does reinforce the point that social media is a very hot space at the moment. I increased my shareholding after reading that announcement, as it seems to augur well for the future.

Boom. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thinking of investing in Audioboom? Take a look at 7Digital instead…

Audioboom, whose ticker symbol (BOOM) raises some rather ambivalent emotions, has certainly got off to a cracking start after it reversed into One Delta Plc in April. One of those proverbial “next big things”, Audioboom shares have already quadrupled in the space of a few months. So what is all the fuss about?

Audioboom

Essentially, Audioboom seems to be attempting to do for audio what YouTube did for video.

The firm provides both broadcasters and content creators with a very simple and effective way of distributing audio clips via social media. Using both a web browser interface and a mobile app on iPhone and Android, users can browse content uploaded by others or create content themselves. Each audio upload can then be easily or even automatically attached to a tweet or sent to Facebook friends.

On the Audioboom app itself, broadcasters and content creators have ‘channels’ on which their uploads are collected. It is now used widely by most of the UK radio sector, adopted by the BBC as an official technology partner and is beginning to move into the broadcast market in the US.

Audioboom (AIM: BOOM), the audio sharing social media platform, announces that it has launched its free iOS AudioBoom app and has relaunched its audio content sharing platform, AudioBoo, under the new brand of AudioBoom.



AudioBoom is a social media audio platform that allows content producers to create and broadcast audio content and syndicate it across the global social media platforms.

The new Apple-based app - which works on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch features:

· A custom-built recommendations engine to learn what the listener loves.

· The 'Daily Download' - automatically stores 2 hours of favourite audio for offline listening on the cummute

· On the spot sharing buttons - making sharing audio immediate to other platforms like Twitter and Facebook

· An updated record, trim and upload function to let you quickly create your own clips to share with the world.



Audioboom expects to launch an Android version of the app in the next few weeks.



At the same time, the Company's audio sharing platform has been relaunched under the new brand AudioBoom (previously AudioBoo) - for more details visit the relaunched website: www.audioboom.com



AudioBoom now has over 3 million registered users and has seen a huge increase in traffic over the past few months, recording 260m page impressions in August an increase of over 280% on the previous month. In September AudioBoom experienced its biggest day to date with 1,744,113 listens in just 24 hours and 2,051,220 unique users logging on to listen to content from the likes of Sky Sports News and talkSPORT covering football's transfer deadline day.



Rob Proctor, CEO of Audioboom, commented: "The launch of the new app marks the next stage in AudioBoom's ever increasing growth. We are all really looking forward to giving users access to the best content in the world. We are, quite literally, reinventing audio for the digital age giving our users the chance to find, listen and curate the audio they want, when they want it."

A lot of talk about Amazon news due on the boards.

Lol, mitzy.

I'm in dreamcatcher from this morning.

Directors' Dealings

Audioboom raises £8m

StockMarketWire.com

Audioboom Group, the digital social media audio platform, has raised £8m from new and existing institutional and other shareholders through the issue of 64 million new ordinary shares at 12.5p apiece.

The proceeds will be used to fund the growth of the business.

The company has also agreed to release 7digital from the lock-in arrangements entered into at the time of the acquisition of Audioboo Limited in May.

7digtal has conditionally placed 29,029,307 existing ordinary shares through Arden Partners at 12.5p each. 7digital will retain 58 million ordinary shares, representing 10.9% of the enlarged issued share capital of the company.

Chief executive Rob Proctor said: "Since Audioboom was admitted to AIM in May 2014, we have been overwhelmed by the response and take up of the platform. Audioboom served over 260 million page impression in August 2014, making it one of the UK's largest digital media platforms. I anticipate that the new app and new content deals will quickly drive this figure significantly higher.

"I am delighted that the Placing was heavily oversubscribed and to have received the backing of both existing and new institutional and private investors. Our substantial balance sheet will now allow the accelerated global growth of our platform, major expansion of our aggregated audio advertising network and the roll-out of the new Audioboom app, which I believe will revolutionise the digital consumption of audio."

At 1:43pm: (LON:BOOM) Audioboom Group share price was -1.75p at 14.88p

And back in again.

You have 35 mins to get out again mitzy. lol

I sticking for now dreamcatcher.
