Family Room
(OTC BB: FMLY)- 2004 Looking To Be Big |
|
Family Room Entertainment,
has admittedly, been one of my weaker ideas in 2003. Earlier in the year
I published several editions suggesting the stock was poised to attain
the $.25 level during the year. I was wrong. The highest level we saw during
the year was about $.17, and $.10 has proven to be support for the stock.
2004 is setting up to be what 2003
could have been. Family Room will go into production on at least
three major motion pictures in the first half of 2004, and could potentially
turn profitable for the first time in corporate history.
In addition, the company's revenue
stream will improve dramatically in 2004. As the business is setting up
right now, in the first half of calendar 2004, Family Room could
achieve 70% more in revenues than the company achieved in all of fiscal
2003. In short, I still believe I am going to be right on my $.25 price
target. I was simply wrong on the timing.
The company recently completely a
$700,000 financing. The shares underlying the financing coupled with the
already issued and outstanding shares puts the number I&O into the
40 million share range. This appears to be the last financing the company
will require. There is a good possibility they will turn cash flow positive
in the first half of calendar 2004 (2nd half of their fiscal year).
Assuming we end up at 40 million
I&O, the market is saying the company is only worth $4 million
right now, leaving plenty of room for the stock to move up. Based on projects
which will develop in 2004, I can easily see this stock trading into the
$10 to $15 million market valuation area- which equates to $.25
to $.40 for the stock price.
Here are the projects which are slated
for the first half of 2004:
-
The movie Edison goes
into production on February 27, 2004 in Vancouver, Canada. Edison
is
a story involved corrupt cops, and two reporters. The movie will star
Kevin Spacey, Morgan Freeman, and LL Cool J. The story was written
by David Burke who currently writes the NBC drama Law & Order
SUV. The film will generate about $.3 million in producer fees.
If the film achieves more that $30 million at the box office, Family
Room could collect substantial profit sharing fees. Click

-
Today, just prior to the open, Family
Room made an announcement concerning the Amityville Remake.
MGM and Dimension Films have purchased the rights to remake the film from
Family
Room on a "Pay or Play" basis. As such, Family Room is guaranteed
a payment from MGM no later than October 31st. Variety recently reported
that MGM is planning to begin filming Amityville in April, at which time
Family
Room will simply receive a check, probably in the neighborhood of $.5
million as a straight fee for providing the property. If the film is
commercially successful, Family Room has the rights to two more
sequel films based on the Amityville story. Click

to read the press release.
-
Family Room also recently announced
it has begun to collect some residual fees from older properties. The company
announced it recently received a check for about $80,000 for residual payments
on Speedway Junky, a movie that went straight to cable. More
residuals payments are expected to flow in from Good Advice,
a cable movie starring Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards. The two met while
making the movie, and have since married.
-
Control, starring Willem
Dafoe and Ray Liotta is expected to hit the box offices in March. If the
film is a hit, Family Room could enjoy considerable profit participation
in that property.
Family Room will kick off at
least four other movies in 2004, and is positioned to garner a number of
other major projects. After a year of rather lackluster corporate performance,
and a big disappointment when NARC didn't get an Oscar nomination,
the proverbial stars are finally starting to align.
If this company ever lands in box
office hit, watch out. With only 40 million shares I&O, a $1 price
target could easily line up in the cross hairs.
I know it's Christmas week, and few
people will pay attention. Their preoccupation could be your opportunity.
Microcaps are drifting down and selling off as individual investors lock
in profits to hold against past losses for the first time in three years.
In my opinion, Family Room
is destined for greater things in 2004. Be on board.
