FFastFill narrows losses by more than 50% and increases turnover 317% (FFA)

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?

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

joey123 - 13 May 2004 13:45 - 37 of 123

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.

joehargan1 - 14 May 2004 19:22 - 38 of 123

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.

joey123 - 18 May 2004 08:21 - 39 of 123

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.

jules99 - 19 May 2004 00:03 - 40 of 123

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...

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.

jules99 - 19 May 2004 21:06 - 42 of 123

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..

joehargan1 - 21 May 2004 00:01 - 43 of 123

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.

jules99 - 25 May 2004 00:47 - 46 of 123

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...!

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.

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!

Fred1new - 09 Jun 2004 20:29 - 54 of 123

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.

jules99 - 09 Jun 2004 23:27 - 55 of 123

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