Wilhelmina International Inc (WHLM)

[dabreeze21]

DALLAS, Oct. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wilhelmina International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board:WHLM.ob - News) (the "Company") today announced that the Company is poised to report that, for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, gross billings of Wilhelmina International, Ltd. and its affiliated companies (the "Wilhelmina Companies") increased approximately $3.8 million, or 38%, respectively to $13.8 million, compared to $10.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The increase in gross billings is the result of growth in the Company's core modeling and artist management businesses. Gross billings represent amounts billed to customers and are an important business metric that ultimately drives revenues, profits and cash flows.

The Company expects to report its operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 by mid November.

Gross billings are an unaudited operating metric which the Company uses in its planning and budgeting processes and to monitor and evaluate its financial and operating results. The Company believes that gross billings are useful to investors because it provides an analysis of financial and operating results using the same measure that the Company uses in evaluating itself. The Company believes that gross billings also provide stockholders and potential investors with a means to evaluate the Company's financial and operating results against other companies within the Company's industry. However, the Company's calculation of gross billings may not be consistent with the calculation of this measure by other companies in the Company's industry.

[dabreeze21]

Judge game them until Nov. 2 to reach a settlement. Otherwise, litigation proceeds.

[dabreeze21]

Anyone heard/seen anything on the lawsuit settlement talks? Would love to have that settled by the end of the year.

[dabreeze21]

By my calculations, if you take last quarter's results, add back in the amortization and subtract the cap. ex. and multiple by 4 to annualize, then subtract from shares outstanding the 18.8M that should go away once a settlement comes through, and you a nice yield on FCF. Use those results with a 10 P/E and the stock is worth at least $0.35. Of course that is a low baseline...should do a lot better and at this price they can buyback 7.7M shares for $1M. A lot of upside potential here...just keep doing what they are doing...

[dabreeze21]

Very good quarter...finally turned a profit. Now we just need to get that litigation settled...all in all I'm excited about the prospects here.

DALLAS, Aug. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wilhelmina International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board:WHLM.ob - News) (the "Company") today reported total revenues of $12.2 million and $23.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to $9.5 million and $13.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Additional information regarding the Company's results is disclosed in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 16, 2010.

The net income applicable to common stockholders was $461,000 or $0.00 per fully diluted share and $431,000 or $0.00 per fully diluted share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to a net loss of $736,000 or $0.00 per fully diluted share and $1,577,000 or $0.01 per fully diluted share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

The net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 includes before tax charges of $483,000 and $966,000 for amortization of intangible assets and depreciation and $275,000 and $724,000 for corporate overhead, respectively. The net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 includes before tax charges of $535,000 and $735,000 for amortization of intangible assets and depreciation, $483,000 and $609,000 for corporate overhead and $15,000 and $660,000 for acquisition transaction costs, respectively.

[dabreeze21]

What is everyone looking for in terms of earnings? They should be out by Friday or Monday at the latest. I'm looking for a small profit. I would like to hear an update on the litigation as well...excited for the LT prospects here...

Wilhelmina Models is a modeling agency founded in 1967 by the model Wilhelmina Cooper and her husband Bruce Cooper in Manhattan.[1]

In February 2009, the company was acquired by New Century Equity Holdings Corp., a publicly traded company. New Century subsequently changed its name to Wilhelmina International, Inc. and now trades under the ticker symbol WHLM.

Prior to the transaction, the agency was owned and run by Dieter Esch and Brad Krassner, who purchased 50% from Esch in 1999. The agency was sold in the 1990s to Dieter Esch, who made his daughter Natasha Esch president as a twenty-first birthday present. The Wilhelmina Guide to Modeling (ISBN 0-684-81491-9) was published in 1996 by Simon & Schuster, New York. Although authorship is attributed to Natasha Esch, actual writing credit is given to C.L. Walker, who was a Wilhelmina model at the time. At the time of its publication, the book caused something of a scandal in the industry because it revealed closely guarded secrets regarding the management of models and the realities of the business.

The Wilhelmina agency has offices in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami, as well as Munich, called Wilhelmina-Nova Models.

In 2004, VA based Modelogic Agency entered a license agreement with Wilhelmina and became Modelogic Wilhelmina.[2] Within the same year, the agency formed a second division (Wilhelmina Image) as a scouting/development program.

In 2007, Wilhelmina came together with Charlotte, North Carolina-based agency, Evolution, founded by Scott Cooper, and Evolution became Wilhelmina-Evolution.

In 2008, Wilhelmina's president, Sean Patterson, was a judge on the TV Land reality show, She's Got the Look, where 20 women over 35 competed for a lucrative contract with Wilhelmina and a photospread in Self.

[Wayne R]

Could be they got it all wrong, the placement was supposed to coincide with the name change and the reverse split.

Being a modelling agency, they issued shares, then changed name, and RS to come.... Which they didn't mean to do in that order.

Seen it before

[LOL]

You're a little too quick to judge me. I'm just doing some DD, you asked why R/S a 50M OS stock, I'm just saying it's much more, and that's possibly why. Based on what I can tell, the purchase is worth $30M, making the market cap worth $30M, and I'm just trying to find out if it's a deal right now or not. Most of the time they R/S and then give the current shareholders 5-10% of the OS, but if they hand out the shares now, then R/S all it will do is make the share price go up and everyone keeps their same percentage, which I like. Currently with 130M OS it seems to be worth 23c per share. There's a big spread right now, which I don't like, as that usually means less liquidity. Relax, there's nothing to bash, it's Wilhelmina, LOL.IMO

[RonnieD]

it went up. looks like some shares were handed out. that's ok..these people are the ones who make it happen.
They deserve to have a major stake in the equity.
Are you interested in this ? let's explore further if you are.
I hope you're not here just to make disparaging comments.

The aggregate purchase price paid was approximately $30,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”) in connection with the Acquisition, of which $24,000,000 was paid for the outstanding equity interests of the Wilhelmina Companies and $6,000,000 in cash was paid to repay the outstanding balance of a note held by Krassner L.P. The Purchase Price includes $15,000,000 of Common Stock of the Registrant, valued at $0.239 per share of Common Stock (representing the book value of the Common Stock of $0.247 per share as of July 31, 2008 as agreed by the parties to the Acquisition Agreement, subject to adjustment to reflect certain transaction expenses incurred by the Registrant) that was issued in connection with the merger of Wilhelmina Acquisition with and into Wilhelmina International. The remaining $9,000,000 of cash was paid to acquire the equity interests of the other Wilhelmina Companies.

[LOL]

Per one of the recent filings, there are 130M OS.

Scottrade called and said it could be traded under the new symbol.

[RonnieD]

[Wildbilly]

Symbol change from NCEH TO WHLM.

[RonnieD]

i still like it.. not all RS's are bad.. a small one to get it automatically into the dollars and an exchange uplisting could happen. They are on record saying they want to get even bigger by acquiring their private competitors.

[mkinhaw]

Don t know, but they
filed to do it
1X10 to 1X30
otherwise I like it too
its one of the oldest modelling agencies

Wilhelmina Models Goes Public
An Industry First, Worldwide Modeling Agency To Access Capital For Future Growth

NEW YORK, Jan. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Wilhelmina International, Ltd, a world leader in the modeling industry, and its affiliated companies, including Wilhelmina Models, Wilhelmina Miami, Wilhelmina Film & TV and Wilhelmina Artist Management, has reached a definitive agreement with New Century Equity Holdings Corp. (OTCBB: NCEH) under which New Century will acquire all of the outstanding equity interests in the Wilhelmina companies. The acquisition, the process of which began in 2008, will be complete subject to stockholder approval and other closing conditions, to be determined at the annual meeting scheduled for February 5, 2009.


Wilhelmina Models, founded 40 years ago by successful model Wilhelmina Cooper, is today one of the largest and most successful model management companies in the world representing women, men and children through its offices in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami. Wilhelmina is responsible for the successful careers of an eclectic roster that includes Angelica Huston, Lauren Hutton, Beverly Johnson, Jessica Lange, Gabriel Aubry, Mark Vanderloo, Alex Lundqvist and more.


As an innovator in the industry, Wilhelmina Artist Management was launched as the first fashion company to develop a specific division to exclusively represent premier talent in the worlds of music, sports and entertainment. Today, that division boasts a roster including music superstars Fergie, Natasha Bedingfield, Ciara, Brandy, as well as golf legend David Leadbetter and the recently created Wilhelmina 7, a division dedicated to women golf professionals. WAM and W7 has secured commercial endorsements, fashion campaigns and sponsorships for its artists with companies such as Brown Shoe Company, Candie's shoes, Coca-Cola, Cover Girl, Dessert Beauty, Donna Karan, Hershey's, Hugo Boss, L'Oreal, Mattel, Nautica, Nestle, Nike, and Pizza Hut.


"This is an exciting phase of our iconic company's history. This is a win-win scenario for everyone associated with our agency," said SEAN PATTERSON, President of Wilhelmina. "We will be aggressively seeking strategic acquisitions while also increasing our talent pool and roster. And we'll continue to develop mutually beneficial synergies between our talent and corporate clients. This deal positions us for continued growth."


Not only is Wilhelmina on the forefront of merging fashion and entertainment with the corporate world, but has recently been active in creating television programming. Wilhelmina created and produced the reality series, The Agency, which lead programming for VH-1 in 2007. And due to the success of She's Got The Look, TV Land is bringing the over-35 year old model search series back for season two.


Upon the closing of the transaction, the Wilhelmina group will become the principal operating business of New Century, a public company, and New Century is expected to change its name to "Wilhelmina International, Inc."


"The stockholder vote is an important step required to close the Wilhelmina transaction and we are pleased to have reached this point," said Mark Schwarz, acting chief executive officer of New Century. "Approval by stockholders of the transaction, including a change in New Century's name to Wilhelmina International, Inc., will be the launching point for us as we seek to capitalize on Wilhelmina's longstanding reputation and history of success in the model management industry worldwide. As a new publicly-held company, Wilhelmina will seek opportunities to grow in a number of exciting areas, including artist management, television production and through possible future acquisitions."


Not only will public ownership of Wilhelmina permit the agency to take greater advantage of compelling opportunities in the marketplace, but this transaction will also significantly enhance the quality and perspective of professionals involved in Wilhelmina's business at the talent booking and management levels.

you know it. luckily it's too high priced for the majority's taste here. And it doesn't issue stock to promo pimps.
i plan on following this through into Wilhelmina and seeing what they have and what they do.
I want to see her strut down the runway !

only time will tell
at least it could be one of the better R/M plays recently from the look
not just a shell game...

[Wayne R]

Well it might turn into a diluting POS, but at least there is no worry of a bunch of Ihubbers jumping ship when it doesn't go up after 10 minutes.........

[RonnieD]

i am in full agreement with you there.
Here it says 75m a/s
http://www.otcbb.com/profiles/nceh.htm
I thought the deal would bring this up to around 90M shares, 15m x .25 added to current, but maybe not ?
Delaware charges for a/s amendment info.

[Wayne R]

Well, aside from you, me and some guy named stanley, there is not a whole lot of chatter on Ihub about NCEH. That can be a good thing.

[RonnieD]

i was pleased with the buying today...

[Wayne R]

Well the stock seemed to establish a kind of base today. Hopefully it is a base it will move up from.

[JimProfit]

yup, looks good

© Virgil Wilson/PR Photos Is a singer, songwriter, and actress, Ciara sure has so many projects in the pipeline. But that won't stop her from adding another career into her resume. She reportedly has signed a contract with modeling agency Wilhelmina and even is planning to launch her own line of clothing.

Speaking about her latest venture into the fashion world, the R&B singer commented, "Modeling has always been one of my aspirations." Her deal with Wilhelmina will see her featured in its clothing and fragrance campaigns.

On her planned fashion line, she's reported to have been in talks with retail clothing chain Steve & Barry's to create an affordable clothing line that represents her personal style. About that she revealed, "I have a couple of cool things that I'm working on. The coolest thing about Steve & Barry's is they cater to everyday people. I won't say that my line will be like theirs, I want to stay true to who I am, but most importantly it has to be affordable."

Ciara is no stranger to modeling. She currently is featured in a print campaign for Jay-Z's Rocawear line. Meanwhile, she is taking time in between her hectic schedule to continue working on her upcoming third album "Fantasy Ride," which hasn't a release date just yet.

CHAMPIONSGATE, Fla., April 23 /PRNewswire/ -- David Leadbetter -- the
world's No. 1 golf instructor and coach to countless tour professionals
worldwide, including newly crowned 2008 Masters champion Trevor Immelman --
announces he has signed a multi-year agreement with Wilhelmina Artist
Management of New York City.
Wilhelmina Artist Management, a division of Wilhelmina International, will
represent David Leadbetter as his exclusive worldwide agent relative to all
appearances, endorsements and licensing businesses. Additionally, Wilhelmina
will manage the business affairs and growth strategy for the David Leadbetter
Golf Academies in North America, the premier brand for golf instruction
throughout the world, as well as manage Leadbetter's contractual relationship
with IMG.
"I am extremely pleased and excited to be associated with such a superior
agency," says Leadbetter, whose announcement comes close on the heels of his
longtime student Immelman's wire-to-wire victory at the Masters. "We are
developing a comprehensive plan for Academy development and future growth, and
I'm sure Wilhelmina's assistance and guidance with this new expansion will be
very successful."
In 1998, as an innovator in the industry, Wilhelmina Models became the
first fashion company to develop a specific division to exclusively represent
premier talent in the worlds of music, sports and entertainment. Today, that
division called Wilhelmina Artist Management, is one of the industry's finest,
with a roster that includes Fergie, Natasha Bedingfield, Heather Graham, Amy
Smart and Justin Chambers, among others.
Wilhelmina Artist Management creates, develops and manages
celebrity-powered campaigns, product lines, private brand licensing,
endorsements, sponsorships, talent appearances and corporate entertainment
strategies.
"Wilhelmina is proud and honored to represent David Leadbetter, one of the
legends in the golf world, and we are equally as honored to manage his
Academies in North America," says Dieter Esch, Chairman, Wilhelmina Artist
Management, which measurably extends brand relevance and increases brand
loyalty to targeted audiences. "The purpose of this transaction is to further
improve the Leadbetter brand worldwide and expand the Academy business."
Leadbetter is the author of seven books that have sold more than
two million copies, has written and produced more than a dozen DVDs and is the
designer of several golf training aids that have sold well over a million
units worldwide. Leadbetter -- an honorary member and Professional Golfers'
Association Master Professional, Golf Channel Instruction Editor and Golf
Digest Teaching Professional -- boasts a clientele that includes the cream of
the crop of the world's finest tour professionals, including four players who
have held the No. 1 spot in the Official World Golf Ranking. Over the past
30 years his players have amassed more than a dozen Major Championship titles
-- with Immelman becoming the latest -- and more than 100 individual worldwide
tournament victories. His coaching has spanned three decades, and he often has
been recognized as the "man who invented the golf instruction industry."
Leadbetter is known worldwide as the "master of the art of teaching the
golf swing." His unmatched experience and keen sense for utilizing emerging
technologies to evolve his time-tested teaching methods and game-improvement
products and services assures that David Leadbetter Enterprises and David
Leadbetter Golf Academies will continue to play a major role in the growth of
the modern-day golf industry.
