Total Shares Issued:
1,140,605,652 (Very high - will impact liquidity)
1) Price:
Reached .006c April 2003 so there could
be long term holders out there who could afford to go close to this
and still be in front.
Also, has only been travelling in the
6-12c range since around September2003 so there is some danger from
those who bought well under these prices between Feb02 and Aug03,
however; one would think if they were going to get out, they'd have
already taken advantage of recent increases SO my best guess is
there would be some stability/support around 6c.
2) 10.2.04 announcement - new issue: 1M
shares are payment for consulting services
3) 14.1.04 - significant contract
signed with Airworks on behalf of major Airworks client, Woolworths
- conditional on certain commercial criteria - based on satellite
broadbank to 700 Woolies stores - includes additional hardware sales
opportunites - hailed as vote of confidence in NewSat solution which
went live Oct03 (could be commercial criteria have been met so the
build up could be related to this announcement)
4) Director share purchase: Clinton
Starr 20/1/04 - disposed 802,809 for $47,595 in January, 6/2/04 -
disposed 2.5M for $209,668 in Feb, shares remaining 25.5M, so
disposal did not represent a large percentage of his total holding
but an opportunity to take advantage of increased share
price.
5) 6.1.04 - USA Dept of Defence now
live in Iraq - opening of Middle Eastern/African NSS6 beam - first
customer US Dept of Defence went 'live' - successfully implemented a
hub that enables broadband to over 30 countries - Multimedia's
Newcastle based space facility is considered to be one of the most
advanced VSAT communications Hubs in the world with both the Aust
and middle eastern services operating simultaneously
6) 16.12.03 - two tranches of options
were issued a) 35M @ 10.5c b) 55M @ 8.75c (exp 1.12.08) were
allocated
7) Change of Directors Interest Notice:
4.12.03 - John Walker - acquired 83,333 $5K, sold 25,000 $2.5K -

8) Change of Directors Interest Notice:
4.12.03 - Adrian Ballintine - acquired 166,666 $10K - held after

So far, with the exception of number of
shares and number of options on issue in terms of liquidity, all
very, very positive.
9) 3.12.03 - allocation of shares as
result of SPP (share purchase plan) - a) 249,999 @ 6c and b) 15385 @
6.5c

11) 13.1.03 - delivers broadband -
WaveCall, the world's leading provider of Maritime Satellite Voice
and Data Services has selected Multimedia's NewSat services to
exclusively deliver broadband to ships at sea within Aust coastal
waters utilizing SeaTel's state of the art antenna system. Service
available during first quarter 2004.
12) 14.11.03 - Chairman's address to
shareholders: very positive - refers to VSAT as having extraordinary
potential
13) 1.10.03 - full year accounts
$16,027,818 net loss in 2002 was quite high but was reduced by 30
June 2003 to $5,623,809. As at 30.9.03 company had liquid funds of
$1,696,375. Events subsequent - $4.25M capital raised through
clients introduced by Findlay & Co Stockbrokers. Reduced costs,
supplier relationships improved and broadened. Director's shares as
at 30.6.02 - 63,483,977. Total liabilities were $7,264,224 and
without recent financials it is difficult to ascertain current
revenue, debt, (and possibly profit) levels.
The wise and cautious would wait for
release of financials before committing. This does not mean that
everyone will wait for this as a look at the buyer volume tells us
that there is anticipation in the air. Perhaps an anticipation of a
half-year report.
A) Suffice to say the release of
positive/optimistic financials would push this higher. Loads of
potential if they keep up this progress.
B) Providing cash burn is OK, debt has
remained stable or has been decreased, and sales are continuing to
come in, it should remain relatively stable but this would depend on
market sentiment, i.e.; it appears the market is anticipating good
news. Because Mr Market is very sensitive, he doesn't like it when
his expectations have not been met. This could cause some
volatility, which is a higher risk when liquidity is an issue due to
higher total share volumes.
C) Anything outcome other than A) or B)
is likely to cause a sell off.
