Offer...inter alia.."The Board is proceeding on the basis of an in principle agreement that Mission will offer, subject, inter alia, to the completion of mutual confirmatory due diligence, new Mission shares representing approximately £16 million of value at Mission's prevailing share price at the date of a firm offer announcement". At £16Mns divided by isc = 12.6p/share and will possibly be by way of a scheme of arrangement sanctioned by the High Court. SP has upside of at least 5p from current with possibly more if a cash offer comes in or a cash injection alternative. But all could be scuppered if the EGM to oust the Board succeeds, which in my opinion is doomed to fail!

The current share price woefully undervalues DOO by some £6mns with a potential £16Mns on offer the sp should be trading around 13p the only thing that could scupper any chances of this is the blasted proposed EGM to remove almost all of the Board. My guess is that DOO is worth far more than 13p/share but for now it is the only worthwhile game plan.

In view of today's corporate release. IIn my opinion it would be wise to support the Board and the potential takeover would serve the best interests of all shareholders. The current situation regarding General meetings conflict is an absolute shambles and in no way serves the best interest of the shareholders, it only will line the pockets of Pinsent Masons LLP. This is no way that a listed company should operate and the calling for the removal of directors is irresponsible, ill timed and doomed to failure and at the very least could scupper any potential takeover. With all cash being squandered on defending and calling meetings then the fragility of DOO both as a going concern and its financial fragility can only be advanced to self destruction. Heads should be knocked together and common sense should prevail. Those requisitioning a meeting to replace directors should back off and let us have a 2substantial" upside to our holdings by a would be suitor.

Rumours are rife that a management buy out looks a possibility as this underperfoirming share attracts further attention from Colin Brumpton. Recent sp fall looks overdone.This AIM listed consultancy specialising in the identification and development of high growth potential SMEs, announces that it was informed on 3 June 2010 that Colin Brumpton, a director of the Company on the same date purchased 25,000 ordinary shares in the Company at a price of 9 pence per share. The shares were purchased jointly in the name of Mr Brumpton and his spouse. Following this transaction, Mr Brumpton has a beneficial interest in the Company over 1,992,627 ordinary shares representing approximately 14.7 per cent. of the issued share capital and total voting rights of the Company. In addition to the above, Mr Brumpton has 200,000 options over ordinary shares in the Company. The issued share capital of the Company comprises 13,541,336 ordinary shares of 2 pence each.

An excellent set of robust figures in a tough Corporate environment. http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/prices-and-news/news/market-news/market-news-detail.html?announcementId=10517871

With a novice and novel nomad taking charge. It seems to me that all newbies here will stand a good chance of falling on the sword of bad fortune or reap the rewards of a go getting new team. My guess is the latter, but with over a billion of isc there has to be some sort of corporate share restructure soon in order for the institutions to fall over themselves to join in the new adventure. But for now, the current sp presents value for the long term!

This AIM listed entertainment media company developing and producing multi-platform properties with a focus on emerging markets, is pleased to announce the launch of its online operations in China. These online operations will generate revenues for the Group from online advertising, 'direct to consumer' activities derived from online games operations and from managing mobile games portals. Galleon China's online operations will also encourage links with large consumer brands through the digital advertising function. This move is part of a strategic transition for the Company's digital distribution activities in China and will complement Galleon's existing mobile business, growing the Company's overall capabilities in the "apps" driven mobile market.

These initiatives will provide the Group with direct access to the largest digital market in the World, with over 350 million people online and 500 million mobile phone subscribers. Online consumption levels in the Chinese virtual goods market were estimated to be worth more than US$5 billion in 2009 with the country's online advertising reaching US$595 million in the first three months of this year, a 52.7% increase over the same period last year (Source: CR-Nielsen).

I would imagine the Gerrard indirect holding is tied in with the announcement 15th April and a positive step for change.

Hi tqhussain. That was an interesting 8% indirect holdings shift by Gerrard's owned by Barclays. What is your take on this announcement and the future implications ? An interesting development and one not missed on the market!

Current share price would need to fall by 50% to lows of Jan 09. But could rise 335% to highs of June 08. But has the potential to rise 2050% to the highs seen in Aug 05. With upside rise the more likely. Given that certain departments are trading above expectations, the rationalle would be to preserve the more profitable businesses and hive off the less performing aspects that are a drain on cash flow. A strategic review looks a possibility, added the bid WSG moratorium expires in a few weeks time.
