The firm has been contracted to deliver the concept, initially in the UK, and then rolling it out across Europe - to celebrate the openings of the new state-of-the-art Infiniti centres
Milestone Group (LON:MSG) has been awarded a "significant" contract to deliver a digital art competition for Infiniti - Nissan's luxury brand, it emerged today.

The firm has been contracted to deliver the concept, initially in the UK, and then rolling it out across Europe - to celebrate the openings of the new state-of-the-art Infiniti centres.

Oil Productions, the company's wholly owned subsidiary, has been awarded the contract by OMD International.

Milestone's chief executive Deborah White said the "significant contract with OMD demonstrates Oil's compelling performance since they were acquired by Milestone earlier this year".

"This contract highlights that Oil not only collaborate on major UK brands but can deliver successful solutions for global blue chip companies."

Oil has created a travelling installation of digital art and produced an iPad-based voting and results system.

This allows visitors to the Infiniti centres to vote on each piece.

It also features a series of mini documentaries around each artist, a stand-alone film showcasing each work and a 15 minute film overview of the digital art story.

Following the successful launch of the Infiniti centres in Stockport and Leeds last month, the installation will now travel to Luxembourg and Marseille early next year as well as various motor shows in Europe By SpikeyDT ]]> http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:MSG.L&display=discussion&id=8989874&action=detail Thu, 24 Nov 2011 10:53:00 GMT SpikeyDT tag:iii.co.uk,2003:tst.8653321

Milestone Group has announced a new addition to its pControl platform, aimed at allowing investment managers the ability to accurately oversee outsourced service provision.


The Fund Oversight solution will allow managers quick and accurate analysis of all outsourced business-critical services, ensuring service-level agreement (SLA) compliance and the ability to monitor and analyze outputs. The process will allow automated end-to-end control of oversight, from data receipt through to escalation, as well as the ability to drill down into transaction and fund data for closer examination where necessary.
"It has long been recognized that while processes and functions can be outsourced, financial and reputational risk cannot, but having clear oversight of these arrangements is proving increasingly difficult," says Geoff Hodge, CEO at Milestone Group. "We are working with a number of fund managers who recognize that the effective management of service providers is a critical function that itself can consume significant effort and resource. The Fund Oversight solution in pControl has been designed in response to this need."

AIM quoted Milestone Group PLC (AIM:MSG), the digital solutions provider,
announces that it is in receipt of a legal claim from Mr Cormac Crawford, a
shareholder in the Company (the "Claim"). The Claim follows certain allegations
made by Mr Crawford against the Company and the Directors as announced on 28
February 2011.

The Claim is in relation to the issue of ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in
the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to Ms Deborah White and Mr Guy
van Zwanenberg as announced on 20 December 2010. Â The Claim alleges, inter alia,
that the Board's resolution to allot and issue such Ordinary Shares was not made
in good faith and, whilst each of the allegations contained in the Claim are
being brought against the individual Directors, the Company is also a named
defendant.

As previously announced on 28 February 2011 and as addressed in the Chairman's
statement of the Financial Statement for the year ended 30 September 2010, the
Board was of the opinion that the allegations made at that time were without any
merit and would be vigorously defended. Â The Board continues to be of the
opinion that the Claim is without any merit and will be vigorously defending the
Claim.

Licence Agreement, Issue of Equity & Total Voting Rights


Licence agreement with BGP Global Services Limited and launch of OnSide

AIM quoted Milestone Group PLC (AIM: MSG), the digital solutions provider, announces that it has signed an agreement with BGP Global Services Limited ("BGP") for the exclusive licence of its Facilitated Electronic Data System ("FEDS") within UK community sports programmes (the "Licence").

BGP will issue a perpetual licence of FEDS, an innovative and bespoke web application that can be currently run on portable networked computer systems, to OnSide Limited ("OnSide"), a newly incorporated Company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Milestone, for use in the UK community sporting sector, initially to be launched in football, but to be extended to cover other community sports.

The signing of this agreement is a key strategic development for Milestone following the recent refocus of the business to digital technology and solutions. OnSide will bring together the established FEDS platform with Milestones' skill set in mobile technology, developed in part through its association with JumpStart Wireless, which the directors of Milestone (the "Directors") believe will deliver a ground breaking tool for sports coaches in the local community.

The Directors believe that OnSide will be a unique and innovative platform which will encompass both web and mobile technology and will eliminate the majority of the paperwork traditionally associated with sports coaching, as well as creating a direct link between the training session and head office where the paperwork is normally collated and as a result dramatically reducing costs and greatly improving the productivity of local sports coaching. In addition, the Directors believe that OnSide will enable, for the first time, information from sports coaches, local authorities, community groups and law enforcement agencies to be successfully collated and shared between them via real-time information gathering. OnSide aims to create a safer environment for the participants in community sports, coaches and the public, enhance community cohesion whilst also providing cost and process efficiencies within the system.

OnSide will be running a pilot scheme with various community football coaches in London, before launching nationwide during the course of 2012 on a subscription basis.

Paul Elliott MBE, the former Chelsea and Celtic player, Piara Powar, the Executive Director of FARE (Football Against Racism in Europe), and Bob Quick, the former Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner, will be the ambassadors for OnSide.

In consideration for the grant of the Licence, the Company will pay, in total, £140,000 to BGP to be satisfied by the issue of 18,181,818 ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), equivalent to an issue price of 0.77 pence per Ordinary Share which is equal to the average closing share price for Milestone for the last ten business days. The Ordinary Shares will be issued to BGP in three tranches, with the first tranche of 9,090,909 Ordinary Shares, valued at £70,000, being issued to BGP today. Two further tranches of Ordinary Shares of 3,896,104 and 5,194,805, with values of £30,000 and £40,000 respectively, will be issued on certain performance related targets being satisfied.

In addition to the issue of Ordinary Shares to BGP in consideration for the grant of the Licence, BGP will be entitled to 50 percent. of OnSide's net profits, which are defined as the actual profits generated by OnSide that directly relates to OnSide's use of FEDS, less costs and reasonable deductions. All new intellectual property developed by OnSide will be owned by OnSide and not BGP.

Having reviewed all Milestone’s announcements I note that directors Ms White and Mr Van Zwanenberg issued themselves shares in November for the extra work they’d done in previous years. However, the audited financial statements for the Company for the year ended 30 September 2009 stated that Ms White was paid £34,750 in that financial year and there is no reference to any accrued liability of the Company to Ms White in respect of any work carried out by her in excess of her original agreement. Moreover, the interim results for the Company for the year ended 31 March 2010 made no reference to any outstanding liabilities to Ms White or Mr Van Zwanenberg in respect of work carried out for the Company. Both sets of accounts were signed by Ms White. If someone else can explain this, then please do, but to me it just doesn’t seem right and I don’t think we can trust them anymore.

FYI – the AGM is taking place at the office of Lawrence Graham LLP, 4 More London Riverside, London SE1 2AU, at 11.00 a.m Monday 28th March.
