   I would prefer to let this offer lapse - not worth the bother even if the takeover does
   materialise. Thanks

     Dear Keith,
     SCI Entertainment have announced a placing and open offer of shares to raise 56.5m.The
     terms are 8 shares for every 9 shares held @35p.The current buying price in the market
     is 50.75p.
     As you may know,there is speculation the company is in bid talks.The cash raising equity
     issue is being made to address projected year end debt of 42m and a borrowing facility
     of 20m.The new management id reducing staffing levels by 25% and refocusing the
     business on its core franchises and key studios.This is sensible but a bit late.The
     management is forecasting revenues of c200m and margins within the industry range.
     Last time, take over negotiations floundered on price.It is being speculated that
     current negotiations may be pitched around 80p.Taking up the open offer would be a
     gamble either that  a take over goes through or that,if the company stays
     independent,the new management can improve the trading performance .Failing both,I would
     certainly advise against putting any more money into the company.As in all speculated
     take over situations,I do not know what will happen for sure.If you wish to
     gamble,please let me know and I will arrange for the open offer to be taken up.Based
     upon your holding of 393 shares in your ISA ,you are entitled to take up 349 shares at a
     cost of 122.15.We have plenty of cash here on deposit.
     I look forward to hearing fro you.
     Kind Regards.
     Gerald.
