LONDON (AFX) - FFastFill PLC saw its pretax loss narrow in the six months to Sept 30 2003.

It said the past six months has been a period of consolidation and progress for the company providing a strong platform from which to launch its new application service offerings.

The results show a pretax loss of 1.2 mln stg compared with 2.6 mln and a massive 317 pct increase in turnover to 1.6 mln stg.

The group said it has made good progress in bringing forward the next generation of software; this is planned for delivery during the first half of 2004.

'We now have a strong pipeline, which will lead to more new customer signings later this financial year,' it added.

Cash at the end of September was 1.588 mln stg, down from 2.45 mln. No interim dividend is proposed.

Executive chairman Keith Todd said that, while budgets for IT expenditure in the financial services sector remain constrained, derivatives volumes are growing and prospects and customers are looking for efficiency improvements in the delivery of their technology.

'The board has confidence in the competitiveness of the company's software and services and in its ability to deliver its plans.'

Thoughts anyone?

Good news at last!! I bought in at 10.75 during the ramp in August and its been downhill since then. I might have something to smile about soon :o))

when the report come out?

The interims are out today.

seemed quite good. and the price is quite cheap at that moment. but why they didn`t rise much today?

My guess is competition is high in their field, plus cash reserve has reduced by the same amount as the pre-tax loss!

I think the results are good, but not fantastic...

As aways tho DYOR.

so does it mean it worth to buy or nto

ckmtang,

Only you can make that decision based on your own research (hopefully).

it seemed they changed a lot and its bid price is 8p. so seemed quite cheap. a

anyone have any idea/

I think it has a lot of potential I hold a small amount but will be adding

Director buy pushed the price up hopefully this is the start of new interest

See what tommorow brings been waiting a long time for this to move others will be watching it too as its in the blue sky portfolio.

Just took the plunge on this one, agree with joey123 on the potential and Directors buying shares in the Company can only be a good sign, as they can see the bigger picture.
It's risen again today so things look promising

Bought into this first thing this morning.
Willing to take a gamble on the Directors decisions.
Stock has been treading waters for a few months.
Looking for a good breakout now.
Very hopeful if it closes above 200 MA.
Good luck to all holders.
Regards

Another blue sky share rewarding patience.
Have held since publication.

B_askin I think we are on to a winner here should be some good news by March.

Put on a good 9% today lets see what tommorow brings I have a target of 9.5p to 10.5p mid price with current info and news. There is a lot of info at www.advfn.com on the bb and at these links if you want a more indepth analysis, im not sure how many people view these thread let me know if the info is worthwhile, and ill post some more research cheers.

Yes please to more info

Taken from advfn.

Recent share placings have given the company the funds needed to continue to grow. Better times ahead for shareholders. IMHO.

On 13 Nov 2003, the interim results to 30 Sep 2003 stated: "The market continues to be challenging but significant progress has been made:

* Turnover has grown by 317% to 1.6m.
* We have delivered two further quarterly software releases, both on time,
to specification and with high levels of reliability.
* We have further enhanced the product functionality raising all
components to the level of our industry leading risk management system.
* We have increased again the scope of our exchange connections to include
LME, IPE, and e-CBOT. These bring connectivity to 12 exchanges worldwide.
* We have made good progress in bringing forward our next generation of
software; this is planned for delivery during the first half of 2004.
* We now have a strong pipeline, which will lead to more new customer
signings later this financial year.

Outlook

While budgets for IT expenditure in the financial services sector remain
constrained, derivatives volumes are growing and our prospects and customers are
looking for efficiency improvements in the delivery of their technology. The
board has confidence in the competitiveness of the company's software and
services and in its ability to deliver its plans."

PLUS: The following share options details gives a good indication of where management appointed in October 2002 want to take the company:

"The Company will issue options to Mr Todd for 14,808,072 shares, to Mr Hartnell
for 4,936,025 shares and to Dr Elmore for 4,936,025 shares;

* the exercise price for the share options will be 7p
* these options will vest in 3 tranches
* tranches two and three being subject to the market capitalisation of the
company reaching 14.45m and 24.45m respectively."

Ironically, buying at 7.75p now is a lot less risky than at 3.5p or so last year when those options were granted given the funding that has been raised and the progress that the company has made.

Current shares in issue about 102m after the recent placings (incl. 22 Dec 03 RNS). Mkt cap at 7.25p is 7.4m.

DrKW also have nearly 10m warrants exercisable at 7p a share. This could raise more funds if needed and could happen anytime if the share price rises over 7p again. All IMHO. DYOR.

I reckon these shares are building up a head of steam and will zoom with just a tiny bit more good news! A lot of little shares are moving this January - it looks like the wider market sees a lot of value in these co's that have held on, improved management and got sound recent funding. Here's hoping...

Looks like you're right! Well done..

A late 2.8 Million buy near end of session. interesting.

This one has been on my radar for some time now, and they look about ready to really go.

Well somebody putting that sort of money into the company is clearly in the know.Must be Directors or someone with very close links.Maybe some news to be announced later today

If it were directors they would have to inform the market.

UP again today..anyone know why...could this be the start of something bigger?

Apparently FFA are about to release details of a new deal for their ASP software. Could be big judging by the increase over the last few days.

If turnover is going to double for full year results and if the company is near enough profit anyone clever enough to know the value of this company in the share price in real terms, is it already priced in?

Sold my Pipex Com shares and reinvetsed into FastFill...The market capital is ONLY 4m...and very very undervalued....expect this company to deliver in the weeks to follow and share price to increase as a result..of course DYOR AS always....

Note today's RNS announcement Today's EGM regarding the placing of 57,142,857 new ordinary shares at 7p per share to raise 3.8m. after expenses was approved. Results due 13 May.

something IS happening at Ffastfill and, as we all know, it aint what you do its the way that you do it.You know, so much information comes out of Barbados that one might be forgiven for believing that ALL the big deals and dealers were centered in that small island. Well, maybe not ALL but pound for pound there is more cash washing around Barbados than many 'financial centers' and more millionaires ready to make 'just one more deal' If that sounds patronizing, forget it. Most of the deals coooked up in Barbados are sound and profitmaking - what WE have to work out is 'is there MORE TO COME' on the FFastfill deal or is the info coming out of the Carribean Island 'old hat' P.S. it also helps to have a rich Mum who retired there and who LOVES to gossip.

We all agree it's undervalued and set for a rally but when? The results on May 13th if I'm reading up right should be well ahead of even the most bullish analyst expectations I've read...assuming they have held costs steady but what is unknown is how much they've reinvested behind ASP and new business development. We'll know by the 13th I guess...I'm getting edgy as the price has eased 5% this week and I just cannot fathom it out...anyone have any point of view?

Excellent set of results cash burn under control and costs loss per share reduced to a measly 3p from 10p a 6.6% rise today onwards and upwards.

Brilliant - I can see this as my 10 bagger of the year. I hold 15K so every cross your fingers.

hopefully there will be some press comment. Once this breaks 10p and inevitably it will then people will stand and take notice of FFastfills true potential.

As expected, glittering results and even better trading statement. Amazed that the press didn't pick it up. Will be interesting to watch next week. THe potential is there but needs some PR coverage to keep the momentum going. Breaking through 10p will be critical..if it does then, no looking back.

I can see nothing more than general market sentiment knocking this down I think this is a good buying opportunity its difficult to get any kind of large quantity at these levels.

A great one to tuck away at current price...keep the thread going as I dont get the time to come on everyday...Not many follow FFA, but it's nice to know some know the potential of this future ten bagger...very under valued at 4m in the current market, if and when it gets going it will reward one a many...

jules99

Agreed, this is one to hold for the long term. I must be a Keith Todd afficionado because I also hold ESY and would put it in the same camp. Both are extremely well managed businesses with strong top-line growth potential. Current performance gives confidence that they also have the management capability to realize this in full.

Joe...



My personal target for FFastfill is 50p+ from current price of 7p, which I think could well happen...

If FFA were to increase it's mk cap even 5/10 times from current 4m it would still fairly valued...now thats value...

I have sold my RTD and PXc and bought into FFA for value and potential higher returns on original investemnt....well much higher in fact...

PXC is not going anywhere I think having looked into recent acquisition... as MK cap is way way too high...

DYOR..
Jules99.

50p would make me very very very happy but I think ever so slightly ambitious. That said its clearly well undervalued and worth accumulating..barring disasters this will not drop any further and has lots and lots of upside. Expect a breakthrough to positive EBITDA by second half given ASD customer wins and cost containment. Breaking 10p will drive the price upwards but we need to get more regular updates to start building some momentum. No volume currently. They need to start generating more news. All too quiet to do anything spectacular but then I think they are playing a long term game and so should we.

Do we have any indication much is this worth in terms of revenue or margin? Certainly it's a great boost to their applications service reputation and credibility.

Missed the above announcement...Institutes were probably in on this one...Could see this tipped by Bulletins again very soon...

You heard it first...A small company like FFA...to win a partnership deal with Reuters and The CME in USA...is excellent news and cannot be taken lightly...

Long term rewards no doubt, one to hold on to now evermore...!

Jules99

I don't mind hanging onto these shares a little while longer - but what does it take to make the price move upwards!!?? Dynamite? No Amount of good news seems to budge them an inch!! Raaaarghh!

I agree - I don't mind holding as I see these as a serious bagger but when - who knows.

for more of an update just click recent...remember this stock FastFill... as it may shock...

Its very quiet and unknown, But the Seeds are sown... given the right time, it will rise very fast,

FastFill will surprise one a many i think, do some research then compare to whats out there...sounds logical...

have fun..jules99..

They are making a very big plunge in the US (Chicago exchange) where they have significantly upweighted their sales team in the last 6 months. If they can build scale (relative to thier small size) with what is a superior offering then the customer wins should start coming in soon. They are courting some potentially large accounts and customer news can really shift this stock price up. This is such a critical year for them and the push is expensive to fund but if they keep building revenue this year will make it to operating profit in '05. High growth prospect of steady progress this year and profits next year - all make this a great one to have and hold long. Still not without risk, but this is run by a talented and dedicated team committed to establishing this company. In my view only a matter of time until the institutions wake up to the potential. Take a look on www.ffastfill.com for recent releases.

The company news service from the London Stock Exchange

Good News indeed - well done Ffastfil!

However - what we need is some bad news - because no amount of good news seems to help the share price at all!

Perhaps the reason for lack of movement is NM size 15K and spread of 6.5+ Anybody holding would be in for the longterm and adding costs to the dealing does not make it very attractive.

this will pay off im confident - long term has it's major rewards...trust me..jules99

Have faith. I feel that this one will definitely reward our patience. Needs a higher volume of trading then it will start to take off. When you add up the new revenue/customer wins it is starting to feel like this will be a great year. Getting to 10p is the first key target...once we get there it will start to move faster.

you have a point 10p is a turning point and then 12p+...keep watching and keep the thread going, i cant beleive that peeps dont know FastFill that well...jules99

Another customer signed and positive re-launch outlook from Todd. Hopefully we'll get some impetus now - need the company to start getting some column inches. I'm still very bullish that this one can really soar.

the recent acquisition of future technology will be eranings accretive and gives FFA a furteher $2mm on the top-line - a perfect tuck in acquistition that fits their London and Chicago plans perfectly - this is a long hold because they are doing everything the right way to build a profitable and very sustainable business - I've long been a big admirer of FFA and now they really seem to be flying ahead - the share price is still lagging behind the reality of performance but for how much longer - can't wait for the results to come out - I'm constantly adding.

London 12th October 2004: FFastFill today announced that their ASP offering has become the first to be accredited by the IPE (International Petroleum Exchange) for direct connection to their new Redditch IT Hub. The connection will enable IPE members to access the Internet based InterchangeTM trading platform and will be particularly important when IPEs electronic-only morning trading begins on November 1.
This ultra-quick 2 Megabit connection will allow FFastFill to provide the fastest solution on the market. Traders not already connected to the IPEs online platform will be able to hook up to FFastFill ASP within 48 hours without the need for additional software installation at the clients site.

Keith Todd, FFastFill's Executive Chairman said "Having built our industrial strength Application Service and combined it with 24x7 Service Level Agreements, FFastFill have already set the benchmark for the rest of the market. We are delighted that the IPE have given us the opportunity to help them and their customers break new ground and exploit the opportunities of trading electronically. Our newly combined team has once again proven themselves pioneers in the marketplace, reducing cost of ownership and driving up expectations.

Richard Ward, CEO of the International Petroleum Exchange, commented I am delighted that FFastFill have made this commitment which will greatly help our members as we make this important transition to electronic trading.

How frustrating is FFA? Great company, great management, great product (all IMHO) and yet the SP resembles a turtle ambling through treacle. And that's an amble during a bull push that is seeing huge gains made in other areas. Confused? You will be after this SP stagnation...

Results due in Dec. then we should get a better picture.

Anyone still in FFA? If so, there seems to be a little upward momentum, nudging the SP higher at present. Any ideas on why this might be?

Yes still in and no idea why their has been some movement.

queen1 - I am still in too, may ditch before end of tax year though if no improvement.

jj50 - would that be at a profit? I still need these to climb a fair wat just to break-even :-(

I am going to be faithful to FFA as they will go up but the key word is 'eventually' - meanwhile doing the loyalty thing with Caledon Resources, Jarvis and of course the fantastic Stanelco.

I don't want to be kicking myself this time next year.

Good luck to all holders.

Fonty - being faithful could pay off. Up 14% so far today. Anyone have a feeling for why the sudden excitement?

I pulled out of Iomart trebled my money but they are now up 1300% so don't want to do the same on FFA - I am in this one for a ten bagger but it will take a while. Dumped Jarvis, still staying stuck with Caledon and enjoying Stanelco.

FFA supporters just carry on supporting and you will be really well patted on the back IMHO.

Happy watching

excuse my ignorance, been crying over my shorts in the property sector, but, although much appeciated as I am now well in profit, why the rise all of a sudden? I am also of a long term positive view but the sudden kick upwards.?

Minx

queen1 - I had actually thought I would take a small loss but funnily have just gone into profit today (bought at 8.35 in Aug 03) so may hang on now! Will put in a stop loss though :-) Fingers crossed, am going to do some research now and see what I can find. Are you still out of pocket q1? Good luck everyone.

Sorry - hit button twice!

Hi jj50. Yep, unfortunately I bought in at 11p so still a little way to go for me yet. I let the shares fall through my stop loss as I believe (just) that the company will come good eventually. Still, it would be nice to at least be sitting on a paper profit of some sort...

img src="http://www.moneyam.com/cache/graph.php?plotType=Candle&epic=FFA">

..thought I was posting graph but did not work ... shall try again!

Good old FFA - I live in dreams but confident. I would love to be part of a few who get the 10 bagger of the Year Awards!

Ok, I'm finally all out at +116% which is not too bad for 18 months hard labour. Got shot at 9.31 in a couple of trades. Seems that the MMs are building. May review if it drops back below 8p again. I hope I've not gone too soon but only time will tell, Good luck to all holders.

The MM's keep upping the price to draw out the sellers...why?

could be a big buyer building and about to come in, perhaps an institution.

finally broken 10p...this could be the start of a rally and news beckoning.

FFastFill says its application service enabled CME FX on Reuters to go live
LONDON (AFX) - FFastFill PLC (LSE: FFA.L - news) said its application service in support of the new CME FX service on Reuters has gone live in London, giving Reuters Dealing 3000 users direct access to Chicago Mercantile Exchange (NYSE: CME - news) 's foreign exchange futures.

I see the Play of the Week spread in Shares Magazine has already had an effect this morning.

Ditched the dog ! (IDOX) should have done this a month or two ago to keep a small profit but didn't.
profit warnings rarely come in with one only so... reckon this is going down to 4p-ish (imho)

Now gone into FFA... the're on the up... (imo)
Will get some more in the next week at these levels.
Was in moneyweek last week repeating the shares mag rec.
should do well in the 6/12 mnth timeframe (imo)

Welcome skyhigh. FFA is one of those small stocks that I really feel has potential. So much so that I've sat on them through some pretty lean times and it'll take a lot of northwards momentum to get them anywhere near where I first bought in but I'm quietly confident.

This should help....from today's Shares Magazine......

FFASTFILL PLC

FFASTFILL SIGNS ANOTHER NEW GLOBAL FINANCIAL
INSTITUTION FOR ITS APPLICATION SERVICE


Third Contract for Rapid Connection to Energy Markets

FFastFill, the leading provider of application services to the global
derivatives market, announces that another global financial institution has
contracted to obtain its third party front-end trading technology as a service
provided by FFastFill Inc., its Chicago-based subsidiary. This new service will
provide traders in the institution's advisory and capital markets business with
direct access to electronic exchange-traded energy markets.

This contract win represents FFastFill's third contract in the last few weeks
which enables firms to connect rapidly to the electronically traded energy
markets. The contract adds a new global financial institution to the growing
list of firms using FFastFill's application service.

Said Hamish Purdey, Chief Operating Officer of FFastFill plc: 'We are very
pleased to take on another important customer by being able to offer them rapid
deployment of sophisticated technology that connects them to the energy markets'

Its just about time for the next announcement from Ffastfill.. Michael our 70 year old was updating on FFA at our morning coffee meeting at the OAPs shareclubuk he had noted that there was some upward movement on the SP so far last week we are making a small profit of close on 200 on the investment with FFA .. The next report from FFA should be most interesting Its about time for the company to announce another Global Bank for the CME FX Reuters service Any one out there who has any news on the company outside of the companys own announcements.. ?

myway... no other news but must be a good time to top up methinks (imo) can only be onwards and upwards from here..

whats more, is that interim results must be due this week or early next as last yr they were announced 17thNov and 11thNov yr before that !

Michael our 70 year old came into the shareclubuk coffee meeting this morning with a copy of the FFastFills interim results..

The company has now made the transformation from software products to one of an Application Service Provider serving the electronic trading community benefits from this scaleable business model are starting to show results

Revenue is up by 21% .. EBITDA has reduced loss by 45% to 0.680 million. With positive trading September - October Loss this time around was 1.289m.. Cash in hand was 1.271m

We are living in a new world.. Paper work has all but gone to be replaced by software platforms that can support multiple asset classes.. This is FFastFills market place which is opening up a number of important strategic opportunities for the company with the major institutions.. To my mind FfastFill should expand over the next trading period..

So, a potential offer then........

Well someone is looking over the books... I note that the big boys are starting to buy in . at this stage its sit on your hands and wait... follow shareclubuk.co.uk as all the news is posted there.....

I bought in at 11p many moons ago so it'd be nice to get back somewhere close at least!

So a potential bid. www.ffastill.com - why now?

Profitability around the corner, some big client wins....

Does anybody know who is considering a bid for ffastfill?

Must admit have weighed in & bought some more.

Any idea on who is talking to FfastFill re a possible offer for the company? The 28 day period is just about up.. An announcement should be made this coming week.. Reuters could be in the frame to make a move?

Ffastfill Plc Someone is looking at the books.. The Market Makers are holding the price at 7.88p which gives share-club-uk a profit of 111%. I have taken out the book price by selling off some shares. Now the big question is do I sell and take all of the profits or sit tight and wait for the outcome? Very soon we will find out the true intent of the company that has made the approach regarding a possible offerthe big question is the level of a bid.. If indeed there is a bid Any input please?.. deal or no deal? My own feeling is that FFA has a first class product. So I cannot see a fall in the S.P. in any case.. This week should be most interesting

Ffastfill Plc Approach regarding a possible offer for the company Patsystems is suspected of having an interest in Ffastfill.. However there could be a number of different people looking at the company.. A major shareholder, even a Bank or a competitorInside track market sources news is that any offer at all would have to be in the region of 14p conservatively, so a bid between 14p to 25p would be needed to get the board interested. However with the cost base now fixed and profits around the corner (with no tax to pay for a while, as they have been making a loss for so long). Who knows what they could be worth going it alone......


FFastFill Signs RBC Capital Markets for its CME FX on Reuters Application Service

LONDON AND CHICAGO, Feb. 2, 2007 FastFill announced today the signing of RBC Capital Markets to go on its CME FX on Reuters Application Service. This service gives Reuters Dealing 3000 users direct access to the CME's foreign exchange (FX) futures and options and enhances the ability to seamlessly trade FX spot and futures products.

FFastFill was chosen by Reuters as the launch partner for this project in May 2004 and has been responsible for building and maintaining a trade order routing service that enables traders using Reuters Dealing 3000 to also execute the CME's FX futures and options contracts. As a result the S.P. has moved up by o.50p to 8.38p

Nice to see you on here as well myway. I bought FFA at 11p and they've headed south ever since so 14-25p would be great!

Hi Queen1

Ffastfill Plc The investors in Ffastfill are still waiting for news regarding any offer for the company. The only news coming out at the moment are the buy-sells Under the provisions of Rules 8.1 of the Code, all 'dealings' in 'relevant securities' of FFastFill by a potential offeror, or FFastFill, or by any of their respective
'associates', must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the London business day following the date of the relevant transaction.

I have been tracking the companys news reports and listing them on the www.shareclub.uk website for any one who is interested to view.. The Share Price has moved up this week to close last night at 9.25p.

Cheers myway - a watching brief....

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

...and we ticked up today which was encouraging.

Hi queen1 news just out...

Mon 5th March.

End of talks announcement and trading update FFastFill has now terminated these discussions. FFastFill that the unsolicited approach was an encouraging endorsement of the company strategy of their overall application as a service provision, it failed to recognise the true company value

You can find the full text of the report at www.shareclubuk.co.uk The upbeat news is the true fact that FFastFill is continuing to engage with and sign up new customers, such as the contract with Natexis Commodity Markets which was announced on 27 February 2007.

As a result, therefore the Board remains optimistic about FFastFill's prospects as an independent company, with a bright future.

myway

Hi myway

I don't think that this is necessarily a bad thing although the market has obviously reacted badly. It's good to see a Board with believe in itself and its Company, who are not willing to sell cheap for the sake of it. If contract wins continue apace I think FFA will be worth a lot more than 9-9.5p in a couple of years time. We may look back on today as a lucky escape!

Yep, worth hanging on in there... don't see any adverse reason to sell... as long as they keep growing and winning contracts and deals etc, then the rewards should follow ! (imho)

Indeed they should....!

FFastFill was chosen by Reuters as the launch partner to allow customer to go 'live' on its Application Services platform. This service gives FFasFills clients commodity markets users direct access to a large number of futures and options exchanges which will include LME, Euronext Liffe and ICE.

Hi queen1

Pre-Close Statement 2006/7 The company plans on issuing its results at the end of May, the company expects to report financial results for the year to 31 March 2007 broadly in line with market expectations despite the short term operational impact of the recently terminated talks with a potential offeror. The company finished the year with a significantly increased order book for the next twelve months. Chairman Kaith Todd has worked hard to turn the company around.

Yes, it all looks very positive myway.

Almost all sales &the price holds or even goes up! Is somebody able to explain?

beats me also.. not complaining though as 75% in profit,..think this'll go higher (imo)

Ffastfill at long last this old dog is on the move. The acquisition of Exchange Systems Technology Ltd., represents an attractive opportunity to expand FFA's product set and accelerate its growth. At shareclubuk.co.uk FFA is indeed our number one stock.

Ffastfill hit the jackpot with their first project from the stable of EST which it recently acquired. The new business win was undertaken for SEB, although the bank has been a long standing customer of EST. shareclubuk.co.uk was also pleased to read this announcement as its a prominent share of the clubs portfolio

Some positive movement every day this week. Anyone know why this may be after a very quiet period?

Hi Queen FFA is starting to take advantage of its new set up service, which is much faster so traders are showing interest.

FFastFill is the leading provider of application services to the global derivatives community. FFAs services and solutions use the latest developments in technology to automate trade flow processes across a firm's front, middle and back offices. FFA's solutions encompass electronic order routing, clearing, risk management and back office as part of integrated, yet modular system architecture. FFA's application services provide institutions with cost savings in their administrative and IT
departments and significantly reduce or eliminate the investment costs associated with maintaining their own technology infrastructure. All of FFA's services are
delivered against a contracted Service Level Agreement (SLA), which can be
tailored to an institution's business requirements. This quality of delivered service has been enabled through the deployment of a uniquely engineered and totally managed software and technology infrastructure. FFA recently acquired Exchange Systems Technology Ltd a company supplying back office (Post Trade Processing) systems to the financial markets.

At shareclubuk.co.uk meeting this morning the general feeling is that the merger with ETS has gone well, over the last week the share price has traded up, we all look forward to the next set of figures due to be released in November. One of our best investment to date.

Thanks myway

March figures should be interesting. Converging on a profit - at last!

Director's June09-deals are pretty poor IMHO - almost a week after they post "increases" three Dirs dip-in to a total of under50k - ( which makes me look, if it's EACH!)......Ooer not exactly a lot of confidence in this software-business.
Not one for me, now.

I bought into this one last week @ 5.69p, had some a couple of years ago but sold @ a small loss, so looking to recoup that loss and hopefully make a few bob.
