Ft Fbt Discussion Threads

Thanks for clarifying that CC!

The problem is

Ian has become delusional about FBT 😊

The directors couldn't buy before the 2017 results because the company was in a closed period. Once published they would be free to do so. After the purchases have been made they have to be disclosed by RNS on the Stock Exchange website, which was done this morning. Unfortunately the company's own website is not yet showing the RNS.

There now does seem to be a distinct focus on the way the company is to grow and that must all be down to IM. Publishing a few quality wins before the end of May would leave me well satisfied with his performance as CEO.

I wonder why IMG was not an RNS?

Turnover is flat, so I assume it is a material deal.

Would have been nice for visibility.

In 2017 FBT seriously lacked momentum in all aspects of the business.
It seems different now with:
-Emmy nomination for @blackbird
-Contract extension for IMG
-Director share purchases
-NAB show and Blackbird relaunch
-First Quarter increase in Revenue
-A number of small contract wins already in 2018 - ITV, Great Run Series etc
-Share price increase of 20%
-A number of current POC's

These show that FBT is gaining some momentum...

Long may it continue
IMHO and GLA

Well played IM. Good luck!

[mcsean2164] 21/3/2018 08:17

disappointing in a way, doesn't it mean there is nothing significant lined up or it would have to be declared for IM to buy?

At the same time, a vote of confidence in FBT from IM. NAB not far off and new website to be launched... maybe we're turning a corner?

Offer 50k 5.35p

[sideshowbull] 21/3/2018 07:26

Wondered who took those 300k, nice one..

[bonio10000] 21/3/2018 07:25

Good man.Shame the rest of the board are pigs in the trough and don't have the same balls. You would have thought they could spare some of that 100k p.a.

bonio
Would you have preferred them not to have renewed?

IMG has an expanding workload so that can build growth for us also.

[nickb] 20/3/2018 19:35

It was never looking as bad as some here made out!
IMHO

Hope some took advantage of sub 4p shares

[bonio10000] 20/3/2018 19:34

Well, it's still only a renewal. So good news but unlikely to impact revenues.Still amazed the sports income is under 300k p.a.

[cabi1] 20/3/2018 19:14

All looking good again.

[bonio10000] 20/3/2018 19:08

Nice.I did query that a while ago, as Aziz made a point of saying the last renewal had to be an RNS, after confirming with advisors.So the fact there hadn't been a new announcement was odd. However, the results did mention IMG was still a customer anyway.

hxxps://www.forbidden.co.uk/2018/03/20/img-extends-its-relationship-with-forbidden-technologies-in-12-month-deal/


London, 19 March (2018): IMG Media, a division of sports, events, media and fashion company today announced a 12-month renewal to use Blackbird as a rapid turnaround editing platform for its seasonal contracts.

Maybe the reason for some hefty trades...

[sickness] 20/3/2018 18:09

I might be in profit by next week 😃🤑

Must be something rumbling in the background that is sparking interest in investors.

[ipatch] 20/3/2018 17:58

Phat trades!!

[nickb] 20/3/2018 16:18

Wonder if there’s much stock around to buy at this price point

[nickb] 20/3/2018 16:11

That’s ok then.

Must be a faq by customers browser security
