The current buy price is 0.64p v a sell at 0.52p. Very few people are selling, but new investors will be put off by the spread in my opinion. I don't know what the answer is, but it looks to me like pure greed. Rant over...

It's a bit like the football club's chairman expressing his vote of confidence in the manager.

Appreciate the feedback from the NED By Hardboy ]]> http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:UVEL.L&display=discussion&id=9388194&action=detail Tue, 06 Mar 2012 08:35:00 GMT Hardboy tag:iii.co.uk,2003:tst.9386686
"Following this share purchase, the Board would like to reaffirm the Company's commitment to maintaining UniVision's quotation on AIM."

I have subsequently corresponded with Nicholas Lyth, the recently appointed non-executive director, and feel quite comfortable that the intention of Stephen Koo is to try and stabilise and support the share price.

You will have probably read the recent broker report by Allenby Capital. Whilst they are the company's broker, it does give quite a clear picture of the current position of the company, and I believe the company does have ambitions to grow the business, which would require further funding in the future. We just need closure on the shopping mall, which to my mind, is the biggest hurdle.

Anyway, his purchase today is welcome, and if we can break free of the current ceiling of 0.60p, who knows where the next level will be.

Great little company now and should do very well in 2012. By prostand ]]> http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:UVEL.L&display=discussion&id=9342478&action=detail Thu, 23 Feb 2012 17:34:00 GMT prostand tag:iii.co.uk,2003:tst.9301599
At long last we might hopefully have some publicity for the company By prostand ]]> http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:UVEL.L&display=discussion&id=9301599&action=detail Thu, 16 Feb 2012 12:38:00 GMT prostand tag:iii.co.uk,2003:tst.9301579

Whilst there is probably nothing new in the report for long term holders here, it does illustrate the potential value of the company. Well worth a read in my view, and may also calm a few frayed nerves.

re-rating due of some 300%. Sounds good to me.

Just a snippet from the report:

Fair value close to 2p can be justified With the debt reorganised the
Univision balance sheet has been significantly strengthened and the P&L will
benefit from the removal of an annual interest charge of around £0.5m. The
core business is profitable and the company has a right to a property asset
potentially worth around £13m. Under a conservative approach where we
value the shopping Mall asset at 50% of its book value we can still justify a
sum of the parts valuation for Univision of around 1.9p per share, some
300% above the current price.

The impression I have formed is that they over-reached themselves in going for the shopping mall work, and got them selves in a mess, but it looks as if it has turned out OK after several year of uncertainty and (as you say) if they can liquidate their assets in the shopping mall their financial situation begins to look very sound.

Whilst a director buying shares is a good sign that the director believes there is upside in the share price; this director effectively owns 71% of the business. If the company is really going somewhere he could force through a takeover, at a low price, see the good news flow come through, then re-list.

Reassurances about being committed to their AIM listing could be a bit like the Football chairman giving a vote of confidence to the manager.

Whats good is that we are underpinned by a solid core business that is performing well.

We are profitable and have an incredible reward potential IF the directors manage to liquidate the Shopping Mall Investment and return some money to shareholders.

I was in here about a year ago and lost some money when all the court cases were going on regarding the Chops etc but have decided to come back in as it appears as though the "tidy up" is nearing completion.

Any long termers here that can spread some light /clarification of the likely way forward would be greatly appreciated.

WIll be doing some more research tonight

Many thanks By prostand ]]> http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:UVEL.L&display=discussion&id=9270095&action=detail Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:23:00 GMT prostand tag:iii.co.uk,2003:tst.9168275
What is the next stage in this ongoing saga. I believe we will see the new investor taking an equity stake at a substantial premium to the share price today, and I also believe we should find out pretty soon, as the company will be obliged to inform the market as to the terms of the £500k investment.

IMHO...very good news today. By Optimist13 ]]> http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:UVEL.L&display=discussion&id=9168275&action=detail Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:02:00 GMT Optimist13 tag:iii.co.uk,2003:tst.9160507
I agree, things are looking a bit more optimisitc. Not sure why Mayne gave up the interest.

I think their problem is how to realise value from their holding in the shopping mall, without huge tax bills. By Hardboy ]]> http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:UVEL.L&display=discussion&id=9160507&action=detail Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:55:00 GMT Hardboy tag:iii.co.uk,2003:tst.9158897
By my calculations, the tangible net assets now amount to circa £9m, allowing for the removal of the interest payment to Mayne. Hopefully, we will here shortly how the company is repaying the £2.5m to Mayne.

I am finally feeling a lot more comfortable now with my investment here, but am not sure how the share price will respond until the loan to Mayne is repaid.
