I have been watching MUL closely and have been
impressed with the way it has held up against a heavy downward
strategy.
Also, there appears to be a sufficient level
of support exhibiting stable behaviour.
These factors may contribute to stabilization,
followed by an upward turn.

Thought this may be of interest:
The following is copied from Midland Funds
Management website (publicly available):
' ... Over the past few weeks, the value of the
Fund has moved up and down within a five percent range. Much of this
volatility is due to our largest position, Multiemedia (MUL.ASX), which has
had huge swings of up to ten percent in a single day. Although this
stock is heavy with short-term traders, I anticipate that in the long run
holding this position is the right thing to do, rather than trying to take
advantage of the swings. The reason for this is simple – I am still
anticipating large moves triggered by either several good announcements in
quick succession or when earnings numbers come out that take into account
the company’s recent contract wins and activities. I do not want to
have anything less but the largest position possible when the big move up
comes, and because the moves are so quick it is necessary to stay fully
invested. There are many other factors that could give the stock a
boost and I feel it is only a matter of time. Multiemedia recently
announced that it is buying a North American company to help expand its
reach globally and also announced that it will be seeking a NASDAQ listing,
which would theoretically bring a new influx of capital and investors to the
stock. ... '

MUL - A strategy is being executed to
bring the share price down and whilst it is in play, wiser
to remain an observer or, depending on your investment and exit strategy,
hold-on till it turns.

ASX Notice 6.09pm today:
Adrian Ballintine, Managing Director & CEO,
held over 30M shares (specifically 31,008,976 shares) and sold 3M shares.
To put this sale into perspective, he sold 10%
of his holding to gain $231k.
10% doesn't concern me.
I would have been quite happy to do the
same.

Due to its significance, I have copied
an extract below:
Entitled: Australia’s Multiemedia in multi-million-dollar
deal with US military in Iraq
Dated: Tuesday, 11 November
2003
' ... Mr Ballintine said Multiemedia
had not planned to activate the satellite beam over the Middle
East/Africa until next year because of the cost involved. “However,
with the US military and the other customers we signed in Dubai, we
have brought it forward 12 months earlier than anticipated.’’ ...
'
The significance of this
statement is in the 'pull market' factor (as opposed to a 'push
market' factor), that is; there is a large untapped market
demand that caused Multiemedia to bring forward plans by 12
months.
A 'pull factor is extremely rare and therefore; highly
significant.

conunction with independent marketing and advertising

connectivity to 60% of the world's population. Customers
secured in Aust, PNG, Timor, Iraq, Iran, Bahrain, Saudi
Arabia, Lebanon.

Jul-Dec'03 period, this segment contributed the

New staff with skills to drive both businesses will
underpin a successful future.
- Events subsequent: MUL have released very positive ASX

In my opinion, this company is set to do
extremely well this year and beyond so should attract a lot
of interest now from longer term holders which will be great for
the share price.

Those interested in Multiemedia
may be interested in news items on their website.
In particular; this media
release may be of interest:
Tuesday, 11 November
2003
' ... Australian two-way
satellite broadband provider Multiemedia, in conjunction
with its UK-based partner Transcom, has scored a major coup
in winning a multi-million-dollar deal for the US
military.
While the deal is initially
worth $5 million to Multiemedia, it could be worth up to $40
million as the United States Agency for International
Development intends to roll out additional sites across Iraq
as part of its post-war enforcement and governance
program.
Multiemedia Chief Executive Adrian Ballintine
said the wireless two-satellite service would allow the US
military to communicate from anywhere in the Middle
East.
“There is only one service
provider in the region providing any form of satellite
service, and that is quite old. The US military will now be
able to set up sites across Iraq and simply, by pointing
their dish in the right direction, will have Internet and
communication service equivalent to anywhere in the world,’’
he said. ... ' + more promising news - view complete media

MUL - Multimedia (not yet
edited):
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 - held after change
643,333
8) Change of Directors
Interest Notice: 4.12.03 - Adrian Ballintine - acquired
166,666 $10K - held after change 31,008,976
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
10) More director share
change announcements - not yet viewed
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.

Cris
