In 2008, Amalgamated Racing Limited ("AMRAC") and other defendants including Alphameric successfully defended proceedings in the High Court over allegations that AMRAC had acquired certain of its horse racing media rights in contravention of UK competition law and the EC Treaty. An appeal lodged by the claimants was dismissed by the Court of Appeal on 28 July 2009. The claimants subsequently lodged with the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom an application for leave to appeal the order made by the Court of Appeal. On 9 November 2009, the Supreme Court refused permission to appeal the order made by the Court of Appeal. This has therefore brought final conclusion to the legal proceedings in favour of AMRAC, Alphameric and the other defendants

Not so unobvious in March that something was afoot. Now we know for sure. http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/prices-and-news/news/market-news/market-news-detail.html?announcementId=10265511 http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/prices-and-news/news/market-news/market-news-detail.html?announcementId=10265752

The Company's annual report and accounts for the year ended 30 June 2009 has been posted to shareholders and is available on the Company's website: http://www.earthport.com/investor_relations/annual_reports In its preliminary results announced on 20 October 2009, the Company announced that it had entered into a loan note instrument dated 5 October 2009 in an amount of £1 million.

Selling entire portfolio of assets in Italy, including its interest in the Longanesi gas field and other exploration acreage in the country, for a total cash consideration of €34.3 million ($50.9 million) and the assumption of existing obligations relating to the assets. Stratic is entitled to receive a further payment of €6.6 million ($9.8 million) provided the commencement of first production takes place before the end of 2011, reducing pro-rata by month, with no payment due if production commences after the end of 2012. The transaction is subject to usual industry conditions, including regulatory approval, and is expected to complete in the first quarter of 2010. At West Don, Stratic now considers that 2009 gross production from the field will be approximately 1.75 million barrels of oil (mmbbls) (Stratic share: 0.30 mmbbls), compared with our previous estimate of 2.1 mmbbls (Stratic share: 0.36 mmbbls). The reduction reflects continuing gas lift and water injection performance below expectation. Work is well underway on the export pipeline tie-back to the Thistle facilities, with completion on-track for February 2010. Stratic plans to provide a further update on West Don production and reserves in the Company's third quarter interim results, to be released in late November 2009

The Board remains confident of achieving both revenue and profit expectations for the full year, although half year revenues will be down on the same period last year due to the timing of securing certain contracts.

The board continues to monitor the investments held in Lloyds Banking Group plc ("Lloyds") and PEG Results Sales for the period were £823,000 (2008 - £880,000). Cost of sales was £545,000 resulting in a gross profit of £278,000 (33.78% of sales) compared with £428,000 (48.64% of sales) for the corresponding period last year. After administrative expenses of £562,000 and other losses of £145,000, the operating loss was £429,000 (2008 - £391,000). This compares with administrative expenses of £674,000 and other losses of £145,000 for the first half of 2008.Administrative expenses include professional and other costs of £47,000 associated with a planning application submitted in July 2009 to vary an existing consent in order to achieve an enhanced and more appropriate restoration scheme for Southfield Wood. The board and its specialist advisers consider, now this landfill is filled and having regard for the nature of the waste received and the related expected final settlement levels, that the original restoration scheme was flawed and inappropriate.The other losses of £145,000 were primarily the diminution in the value of the investment in Lloyds, the share price movement being taken through the income statement. Finance costs were £12,000 (2008 - income of £89,000). Investment income was lower than the corresponding period for 2008 when bank deposit rates were higher and the Company had less

The unaudited Net Asset Value of Ingenious Media Active Capital Limited as at 30 September 2009 was:£93,975,667.89 On a pence per share basis:65.64 pence per share diluted and undiluted The 65.64 pence per share includes 25.10 pence per share of investments and 40.60 pence per share of cash. Now that is some undervaluation of the current share price and has some upside potential.

Hi boredmum et al. The announcements today come as no surprise to seasoned followers. Recent sp volatility now becomes clearer. The egm regarding additional listings and whitewash procedure was rather inevitable. There is no doubt this was the natural outcome of the corporate tug between substantial shareholders and the lack of inspired market conditions. The sp will suffer short term until clarity is found as to where this Co is heading.

Since year end of 30 September, SVCA, which is predominantly focused on providing resourcing services to the public sector education and healthcare sectors, is pleased to confirm that trading remains robust. All divisions are delivering profits and Servoca has continued to make progress in the second half of the year. Results for the year ended 30 September 2009 will be comfortably ahead of expectations and the Board looks forward to further growth in 2010.The Board continues to invest in new business areas and initiatives which are essential to drive medium term growth and shareholder value. The Company expects to announce its preliminary results to 30 September 2009 in January 2010.

The aborted bid recently for this own brand vitamin supplement manufacturer appears to be the catalyst of some further upside here. Elder Pharma, 21% shareholders looks like it is hawking its holding to the highest bidder and is in no mood to accept much less than what it paid for, that is, 16p/share, but the rumours are it is fed up with waiting and may sell out to a predator if the price was right. So with sales increasing at Tesco, Sainsbury, Superdrug and Boots, things look very interesting.

On 30 June 2009, Earthport announced that it had moved into a period of advanced execution following successful developments in several areas, and that Zeus Capital had been appointed to assist the Company in reviewing and evaluating a number of strategic options available to them with the objective of optimising shareholder value. Since that time the Board has held discussions with a number of prominent organisations and global corporate entities. Some of these discussions have resulted in new business developments whilst others have advanced existing business relationships and enabled the organisations concerned to receive a better insight into the long term strategy and potential of Earthport. As well as raising Earthport's profile with third parties, ongoing discussions range from franchising opportunities to new strategic channels to market.None of the ongoing discussions relate to an offer being made for the Company and, accordingly, the Company is no longer in an offer period as defined by the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers. The effect of this will be to adversly affect and weaken the sp to a level where buying pressure stabilizes and returns sp to normal levels excluding any bid premium.

Those that took the contrarian approach and locked in profits locking out a 22% retraction at 6.13p may well want to consider churning some at current sub 4.75p and take a position ahead of possible pundit write up this week. What is for sure recent demonstration appears to have been well received by the industry . Any further weakness reinforces the general buy stance by fellow members. GL ATB

After running up over 21% since buy note Monday, could be an idea to "lock in" some profits and cover initial outlay. Run remainder shares at no cost and locking out any possible downturn, possible churning of profits on weakness. This is very much a longer term investment as the uncertainty regarding ongoing bank loan discussions could kick in and have a negative impact on the share price short term.
