  3. some news on GV for those interested in this share Global Voice +3%; Positive Outlook 1119 [Dow Jones] Global Voice (H23.SG) +3% at 17 cents, again most active stock on 28 million shares, likely lifted by Macquarie's upbeat report. Doesn't rate company, but notes stock is play on asset appreciation of underground telecom assets, also positively levered to technologies that need more duct infrastructure, like corporate VoIP, Fiber to the Premises (FFTH), complementary technologies like WIMAX, 3G. Outlook upbeat as company expects turnaround in FY06, plus has low gearing, positive free cash-flow; also eyes possible asset sales (those with utilization less than 5%) as assets, currently valued at 125 million euros, bought at hefty discount to build cost (600 million euros). Keen buy still at 16.5 cents with 12851 bids, vs initial cap at 17.5 cents with 13320 offers.(CAW) FMR (Fidelity - mutual fund) increased their stake in GV from 5 pct to 7.2 pct yesterday buying at 17 cents. They were last buying 120 mio shares (5 pct) at about 13 cents .

  11. just want to share again.....good investment opp Published October 12, 2005 (Embedded image moved to file: pic19629.gif) NEWS ANALYSIS Voice reaching beyond Singapore's horizon Global Voice, which owns a fibre optic network covering major European cities, has plenty of room to grow, reports ANGELA TAN (Embedded image moved to file: pic12623.gif) Email this article (Embedded image moved to file: pic24084.gif) Print article (Embedded image moved to file: pic19954.gif) Feedback IT used to be Horizon Education and Technologies. But today, Global Voice Group (GV) has nothing to do with the defunct dotcom company. Instead, the Singapore-listed company now operates out of Ireland and generates most of its revenue from its fibre optic network in Europe. Mr Meaney: Global Voice acquired its fibre optic assets - costing more than US$450m - for only US$60m As if defying investors' aversion to unlit fibres, this nascent company - formed in a reverse takeover of troubled Horizon in October 2004 - has been topping the actives, with more than 200 million shares changing hands yesterday. Fund manager FMR Corp, which includes Fidelity International, has bought up to 5.2 per cent of GV in the open market. Its share price has risen from five cents in June to around 19 cents. Yesterday, CIMB-GK Research called a 'buy' on the stock, with a target price of 28 cents. 'I am very excited about this stock,' CIMB-GK analyst Kenneth Ng told BT. 'They have been selling for only a short time but have a lot of head room to grow. Utilisation rate of their network is only 5 per cent now. Any further increase will just go straight to the bottom line. 'Looking at their pipelines and strands of fibres, they are the largest player in the cities they operate. They are already cashflow-positive and hoping to turn profitable next year.' Dublin-based chief executive officer Noel Meaney shared with BT his optimism for the company, and shed light on why he believes GV will succeed where cable network giants like Global Crossing or Metromedia Fibre Network (MFN) failed. 'To put things into perspective, last year's revenue was from network services,' he said. 'This year we will see the full year contribution from network, business continuity and infrastructure provision.' Basically, GV has two business units - data services and infrastructure provision. Under data services, network services are delivered on dedicated fibres rented to clients, while business continuity provides clients with end-to-end data management solutions. Clients can use GV's fibre networks to transfer their data to storage equipment that GV owns and operates. Under infrastructure provision, GV provides fibre or duct infrastructure across cities for partners to deliver non-competing services and products. 'Data services is our bread and butter. Going forward, business continuity will become a much greater contributor than network services. 'It has a recurring revenue model and data is a growth area,' Mr Meaney said. 'This is very important because we can derive increasing revenue from the same customer base, unlike network which is static revenue from the same customer.' He said that next year GV sees 50 per cent of the recurring revenue side generated by business continuity. Growth is expected to be huge. According to research firm IDC, corporate spending on data storage services is expected to hit US$13 billion in 2008, growing from just over US$10 billion in 2005. GV was formed after a group of investors led by Christopher Nightingale, now GV's vice-chairman, and Mr Meaney, bought bankrupt MFN's network in Europe. This extensive fibre optic network spanning 14 major European cities in Ireland, the UK, the Netherlands and Germany, was then injected into Horizon in the reverse takeover. Last year, GV made a net profit of 25.6 million euros (S$52 million), largely contributed by negative goodwill from the reverse takeover. However, its Ebitda (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) from core operations was 3.9 million euros, with Ebitda margins as high as 50 per cent. Germany contributed more than 80 per cent of revenue, which was 7.6 million euros from the rental of fibres and bandwidth sale. Prospects look bright for GV. Unlike the dotcom boom days, when telcos pumped in huge amounts of money to build cable networks ahead of actual demand, GV has entered the market at the right time. Applications that require high-speed infrastructure to operate - like GSM networks, 3G networks and video-on-demand - have taken off and are rising fast. More importantly, GV has acquired this asset cheaply. The fibre optic networks it owns cost more than US$450 million to build. GV bought these networks for only US$60 million from their financially distressed owners. Thus it already enjoys a major advantage over its rivals in an industry that characteristically has high fixed costs and low utilisation rates. It can lease or sell the fibres to customers at more competitive prices or at higher returns to itself. As GV's network is concentrated in big European cities, the barriers to entry are also high. There is a high initial outlay for the construction of new fibre optic networks. It will not make sense for potential entrants to invest in new infrastructure when there are already under-utilised networks in place. While some European telcos are still licking their wounds from the dotcom bust, debt-free GV, with its robust balance sheet and 6.6 million euros in cash, is also likely hold out better than its rivals in any prolonged periods of poor business. What about international connectivity, investors may ask? No worries. Lee Theng Kiat, the chief executive officer of ST Telemedia, the new owner of Global Crossing, sits on GV's board. 'We have the fibre optics within the cities. If clients need international solutions, we have our relationship with Global Crossing to provide the international connectivity,' Mr Meaney said. A caveat though: Standard Chartered Private Equity has alleged that GV violated certain contractual obligations and is claiming an estimated HK$40 million, which could dent GV's bottom line. ____________________________________________________________________ This transmission has been issued by a member of the UOB Kay Hian Group for the information of the addressee only and should not be reproduced and / or distributed to any other Global Voice +8.8%; CIMB-GK Eyes 28C Target 1047 [Dow Jones] Global Voice (H23.SG) +8.8% at 18.5 cents, again most active on 86.9 million shares, likely boosted by CIMB-GK's move to initiate coverage on stock with Outperform, 28 cents target, saying company on verge of turnaround; notes now at cash-flow breakeven point, expects it to be profitable by FY06. Though GV likely to turn into cash cow due to its business of renting private leased lines, selling bandwidth, raises possibility of exceptional gains from asset sales. Also estimates stock backed by hidden assets worth as much as 50 cents/share. Initial cap likely at 19 cents with 17495 offers, vs keen buy at 17.5 cents with 14757 bids.(CAW)
