Hear Hear Groin....Very well put.

Bobbystar,

I agree, the tense wait that will be ending shortly in FFA's visit from the liquidator is something that has been weighing heavily on my mind lately.
I imagine when the new customer was having FFA independently checked out, that the firm doing the checking forgot to look at the financial credentials of FFA.
Surely it is common knowledge that the £6m+ order book for this year, the predicted profits and rising a share price are indicative of a company facing iminent collapse.
All I can imagine is that the idea that FFA are going belly up came from reading postings and announcements from 3 years ago. It's an easy mistake to make. 2003 and 2007, they look very much alike!

The new contract, as with all of the ones announced by FFA, comes without any guidance figures. But a win is a win, the market thinks its worth something and has marked us up accordingly. Nice one lads.

This also goes to help defend the company from the unwanted approach. Failing that, it at least means we will get a bit more should it come to a bid.

I think ZEP must reading from a different book let alone the wrong page.....Mind you he has always been that way over the FFA's ever improving situation over the years.
Silent_Angel.....It's another contract win which can only being good for the future.

If I was thinking about a bid for this company, I would be very temped to wait around for a few months and pick it up off the liquidator for peanuts.'


God damn this slide to insolvancy!!!!

Hi groin very interesting that you set a bid price of 12 - 14p M. Kergel may just be thinking the same way...

Ffastfill Plc... Under rule 83 of the takeover code Mr Ian Richard Kergel has declared holding in the company of 15,000,000. read the news report at www.shareclubuk.co.uk. The company product is now making headway in the market place.. After a long time standing still..

Royal Blue Fidessa 'news' has been gathering dust since it was announced in November 2004. Are we about to see something come to fruition?

Or are FFA just sliding inexorably towards insolvancy?

If I was thinking about a bid for this company, I would be very temped to wait around for a few months and pick it up off the liquidator for peanuts.

[groin] 20/2/2007 13:47

I think in the great scheme of things that both FFA and PTS are just as bad as each other for announcements.
The real difference is that PTS have a good habit of hitting the numbers and landing deals.
The PTS price has been a marvel to behold and shows no real sign of stalling, well not while the management prove their ability to not put a foot wrong.
Good luck to them, it's good to see a UK firm doing the business.

[bugs bunny] 20/2/2007 12:33

KT and the board of FFA should take a leaf from PTS on the art of COMMUNICATION. What a difference in the 2 companies they BOTH have SMALL or LARGE holders but PTS do keep ALL the holders informed.

[bugs bunny] 20/2/2007 10:48

Pts now heading for another planet from system......Cosmic

[bugs bunny] 20/2/2007 09:02

Good post Groin.

Thank You bugs bunny (cool name)

[bugs bunny] 15/2/2007 08:42

Welcome aboard.

Just bought 10000

[bugs bunny] 14/2/2007 12:11

KBC and SCAPS just moved up.....Maybe the PTS good results today have pulled us up and we have eyes looking around at other companies in the sector.

[groin] 14/2/2007 09:47

Well done PTS, an excellent profit and a dividend too, just as they predicted.
If FFA could produce half as good a set of results as they have done we would be very happy bunnies.
Their results take some time to read through but it is well worth the time and effort. They are the beacon that FFA's management should aspire to. That is assuming they are still at the helm by the time we hit the profitable stage.

I've got a headache and I'll tell you why.
I went to the takeover panel website this morning to see if that could shed some light on how long this bid or no bid situation can go on for.
You have to download a PDF file and try and fathom it out. I'm glad I didn't choose to print it off as that alone would make a considerable dent in the rain forest.
The "code" as it is called makes loads of references to time tables, concert parties, time extensions etc but nothing about what can or should happen after an initial approach. So I thought why not speak to these people at the takeover panel, which is what I did.
I spoke to a very nice Canadian lady who was most helpful but the information was not what I wanted to hear.
It basically means that until either the other party makes a formal offer or indicates that they are no longer interested, we are stuck in this situation.
So how long is how long? Answer: It could go on for months and months will still no knowledge of whom it might be and what they might be offering.

[bugs bunny] 12/2/2007 11:14

I wonder why there hasn't been any annoucement from FFA or any mention on there Web site about the Quickcomm tie up......Very curious.....Will have to do some digging and a few calls to the states.
