see the april RNS on CBD tech and patent granted.

"Dr. Stanley Hirsch, Group CEO of FuturaGene said "This patent consolidates our global intellectual property position in the critical area of cell wall
modification, which is a fundamental technology for yield enhancement in plants.
This is highly significant for the sustainable industrial forestry, biofuel and biopower sectors. Japan is home to some of the world's largest pulp and paper producers, enhancing the significance of this patent."

it looks good short term certainly, good fundraising @ a very good price. The sector is what is good for medium to longer term investment, and i think certainly a good case for FGN, now internal matters have been resolved.

[mcsean2164] 08/5/2009 03:22

It's amazing how ignored this share is....

[leadersoffice] 16/2/2009 09:01

Certainly going in the right direction :)

Good run on settling of litigation ... now profit taking ...
renewed bull run may have to wait for some news.

That is my take.

[donn84] 27/1/2009 13:35

any reason for this stumble ?? lost alot today so far

[red ninja] 18/1/2009 20:58

I wonder how high it will go this time ...

[mcsean2164] 16/1/2009 09:38

Sold out today. Company still looks good but given the performance of the rest of my portfolio it's time to put something aside! Small investment but nice to see a 150% return....

Interesting article on GM potatoes in China, slightly o/t but worth a read



Why China?

China should be considered a potential market for GM potatoes for several reasons. First, China currently has almost 1.3 billion people and is likely to exceed 1.4 billion by 2050 (Population Reference Bureau, 2002). China recognizes that if it is going to continue to feed its people, it must find more efficient agricultural production methods. To this end, China is spending close to $120 million each year on biotech research. In fact, China is the fourth largest producer of GM crops in the world after the US, Canada, and Argentina, and has approved more than a dozen genetically modified crops for development (Huang, Rozelle, Pray, & Wang, 2001).

FuturaGene prospects rise
Smaller companies
Peter Stiff

Shares in FuturaGene soared by more than 30 per cent yesterday after the biotechnology group with a focus on agriculture cleared the decks for the new year by settling all legal claims with its founders.

The group, which is developing technology to genetically engineer plants to better withstand cold and drought, as well as making trees grow more quickly, has resolved all claims with a group of eight founders connected to the company's origins as a university spin-off. The terms of the settlement have not been disclosed.

FuturaGene has also reached an out-of-court settlement with Bruno Ruggiero, its former chief executive, regarding alleged wrongful dismissal. Moreover, the group will now not pay out any more shares to the founders, effectively clearing a stock overhang.

The disputes were sparked when the group parted company with Mr Ruggiero in 2006. Mark Pritchard, FuturaGene's chairman, said that the resolution of the company's legal issues left it clear to showcase its technology in 2009. The shares rose 7p to 29p.

Sorry coulden't resist and took profits today.Was hoping for product commercialisation update as well as news about litigation which we all knew about last week. Will buy back if profit taking comes about,at perhaps a more advantageous price...happy new year to all.
