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?

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...

..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.
