Our first opportunity to cash in. 👍

[monkeymonkey] 06/10/2016 14:00

its a result but not life changing for FFWD, but every little helps

[moormoney] 06/10/2016 13:46

If diabetic boot is being taken over by Life, that is a result!!

[lauders] 06/10/2016 13:43

That wasn't the RNS I was referring to earlier, so the news from cottoner still to be released as one in some form or another? Perhaps waiting for it to be "fact" rather than "likely"?

[moormoney] 06/10/2016 12:31

Excellent I'm much happier now, all investments looking good!

[trotterstrading] 06/10/2016 10:52

Yes very nice RNS, not a substantial enough holding to make a real difference but emphasizes managements keen eye for a great deal. 100% gain is not to be sniffed at, and I suspect it will go on to double again in the next 12 months as block-chain gets more traction

Excellent. Thanks for posting hamcutlet.

more good news!!

FastForward's original investment in Factom was made less than a year ago on 16 October 2015, with a reported value of £279,000 at the time of FastForward's annual report and accounts to 31 March 2016. Today's Series A financing values FastForward's investment at approximately £560,000, an increase of approximately 100%.

Lorne Abony, CEO of FastForward Innovations commented:
"We are ecstatic with this increase in valuation for our investment in Factom, which exemplifies what we believe to be true of much of our portfolio: that value continues to be created in our businesses, and that many of our investee companies are worth significantly more today than the amount we invested.

we are on a roll now !!

Thank you cottoner.

[lauders] 06/10/2016 07:59

Thanks cottoner! Another FFWD related RNS due soon then ;-)

[cottoner] 06/10/2016 07:43

LIFE rns

Company is now pleased to announce that it has signed a non-binding (save as regards exclusivity) Term Sheet to acquire up to 100% of the issued share capital of The Diabetic Boot Company Limited ("DBC") for new shares in LIFE (the "Acquisition").

[lauders] 06/10/2016 06:11

moormoney - Probably wishful thinking if the comments made here about FFWD's website and lack of updating the blog and news sections are to go by! Several comments have been made about the "lack of attention to detail" in this respect and the delayed updates. Somehow I doubt anyone from FFWD reads comments here or the website issues would have been addressed. The other possibility of course is that they do read but don't care about what their shareholders actually say even if it would help their image and PR. Saying that great news yesterday, long may it continue in the same vein!

[moormoney] 05/10/2016 23:29

Very nice 👍! I wonder if my email saying a proper rns was needed did the trick.. If so well done ffwd!

[888icb] 05/10/2016 22:06

The potential of this share is really exciting as it has a number of investments that could multi bag. I agree with TT that Leap and Yooya are looking very good.

[doodlebug4] 05/10/2016 21:52

Well summed up Trotters.

[trotterstrading] 05/10/2016 21:45

The entire portfolio is look strong, each company is excelling in their field. My top 3 are LEAP, Yooya and Schoold Leap because 3D and VR gaming are red hot, we are still going deals and we have a very significant shareholding. Yooya because it has a chance to become a proxy for YouTube in China and, scary to think what it could earn in advertising revenues or what price a t/o!!Schoold because they are working with the US govt and has the audience and reach to achieve huge advertising revenues.

[flashheart] 05/10/2016 18:21

Wouldn't mind seeing one of the other disposals and the proceeds used to increase the stake in Yooya if possible.

[doodlebug4] 05/10/2016 17:55

A little bit of press coverage in the UK about Leap Gaming would be helpful, there's been nothing that I'm aware of up until now - apart from a few little bits and pieces about FFWD's investment in the company.

[rafboy] 05/10/2016 16:41

Agreed they are keepers for now.

[monkeymonkey] 05/10/2016 16:40

if there is a disposal rafboy it wont be yooya or leap thats a cert lol

[sigora] 05/10/2016 16:33

the rns not showing on monitor hence the muted rise with that news should get a follow through in to rest of week

[rafboy] 05/10/2016 16:26

Just shows us how fast this will rise on positive news. Can't wait to see what happens when we start disposals and they are due this quarter.

[flashheart] 05/10/2016 16:24

There's your tick up as well.
