Cash-rich but unloved
Article Abstract:
Prism Leisure has been hit by the strength of pound sterling. The company supplies videos, CDs and computer games at inexpensive prices, and has faced a difficult market due to the dominance of Sony Playstation. The company is run by Geoff and Ivor Young, and they are skilled at buying excess stock and selling it to consumers. The company's profit is forecast at 1.7 million pounds sterling for 1998 to 1999, and Prism appears to be undervalued in terms of its stock price.

Overlooked attractions
Article Abstract:
Toy Options is a distributor and importer of toys, giftware and watches and has financial strength and new acquisitions which have not been taken into account in the company's stock price. Toys are seen as a volatile market, but the company is not involved in manufacturing and provides toys to major UK retailers. World Wide Licences is a new acquisition and produces computer accessories which could have potential, as well as clocks and watches.
