Futuremedia Acquires Leading Swedish e-Learning Company Open Training
Complementary Product Ranges and Blue Chip Clients to Strengthen Futuremedia`s European Market Leadership
BRIGHTON, UK -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/09/04 -- Futuremedia Plc (NASDAQ: FMDAY), a leading European e-learning solutions provider, announced today that is has signed an agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares in the Swedish e-learning provider Open Training.
Open Training has its head office in Stockholm with branch offices in Gothenburg and Västerås, Sweden. Its clients include many Scandinavian blue chip companies, among them Scandinavian Airlines, NCC, Pfizer, Ericsson, Kongsberg Aerospace & Defense, Saab Automobile, Volvo Trucks, and the Stockholm Stock Exchange. Currently Open Training has 15 employees, and it is not expected that there will be major changes to that number.
With core expertise in the areas of sales training, product launches, quality assurance and security, Open Training`s product offering complements and broadens Futuremedia`s range, thus strengthening leadership in the European market. In addition, the acquisition will provide Futuremedia with a footprint in Scandinavia, the second largest e-learning market in Europe. The Scandinavian governments were the first in Europe to implement subsidized home computing programs, opening the Scandinavian markets to Futuremedia`s award-winning Learning For All(TM) offering.
Open Training`s offering includes custom designed learning content, its proprietary "Learngate" Learning Management System and "Learnlab" content authoring tool, consulting and implementation services. With 2004 revenues of approximately US $2 million, Open Training has demonstrated a profitable and cash flow positive performance and is debt-free. Futuremedia has agreed to pay approximately US $2 million in cash and stock to acquire all of Open Training`s shares, with an earn out provision subject to specific performance targets. In addition Futuremedia expects to issue a minimum of 300,000 options to key Open Training employees. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed no later than December 20, 2004.
"We are very pleased to be joining forces with Open Training, a leading Scandinavian e-learning provider, as a first milestone in our European expansion strategy. Scandinavian companies are advanced users of e-learning and the region was the first in Europe to widely adopt government subsidized home computing initiatives which have grown into a billion dollar annual market opportunity. Open Training`s proven technology and quality product range adds substantial value to our current offering and provides us with the opportunity to grow our presence in Scandinavia thereby reinforcing our position as a European market leader," said Mats Johansson, Chief Executive Officer of Futuremedia. "We expect this acquisition to be accretive from Q3 of fiscal 2005, as well as having an immediate effect on our top-line growth, both of which will more than offset dilution. As we have stated in the past, Futuremedia sees itself as a consolidator in our industry, and we expect to continue to pursue opportunities such as this if and when they appear."
"It is very exciting for us to team up with an e-learning provider of Futuremedia`s caliber," said Hans-Erik Eriksson, Executive Chairman and Founder of Open Training. "Our target market consists of large Scandinavian corporations which typically prefer to work with `one-stop, preferred suppliers` that can provide fully integrated, front-to-end solutions. Becoming part of Futuremedia should allow us to substantially increase our growth rate. Our combined offering has the potential to expand our customer base and create the strongest and broadest solution in the Scandinavian market for e-learning and a valuable partner for Home Computing Initiative implementations."

BRIGHTON, UK -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/16/04 -- Futuremedia Plc (NASDAQ: FMDAY), a leading European e-learning provider and the premier Home Computing Initiative (HCI) provider in the UK, has today announced it has a contract with Capita Plc, the number one UK provider of business process outsourcing, to bring the Learning For All(TM) programme to its employees.

We are excited about the initiative and are confident that the combination of learning and entertainment components will prove a huge success for our employees. As an organisation that recognises the value of its people, we are always searching for attractive initiatives and new ways to encourage staff development, and this is no exception."

Hallo FMDAY-Interessierte, ich suche Gleichgesinnte, die sich ebenfalls intensiv mit diesem Titel befassen und handeln. Ich möchte gerne einschlägige Erfahrungen austauschen. In der Vergangehieit schon mehrmals erfolgreich mit FMDAY `gezockt`, scheint mir jetzt etwas nicht zu stimmen. Es stehen doch wirklich alle Lampen auf grün, doch warum fährt das Schiff nicht los? Gibt es negative Nachrichten, die ich bis heute noch nicht ausfindig habe machen können? Grüsse aus CH
Genau dies ist das Problem es gibt keine negativen Nachrichten aber acuh keine so positiven das es einen extremen Kursanstieg begründet. Den Boden bei 0,79 sollten wir nicht unterschreiten. bisher sind wir noch etwas drüber.

Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire Partnership Ltd Adopts e-Learning With Futuremedia`s Award-Winning Learning For All(TM) Program
BRIGHTON, UK, Nov. 24, 2004 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- European based e-Learning solutions provider Futuremedia Plc (NASDAQ: FMDAY), the UK`s leading HCI supplier, today announced that it is providing its award-winning Learning
For All(TM) program with the Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire Partnership.
The financial impact of this contract to Futuremedia will depend on, among other factors, the level of employee and CSWP members` and partners` participation.
CSWP co-ordinates the formation of a sub-regional regeneration strategy. Its aim is to enable its 56 partners and members, corporations as well as universities
and public bodies, to determine key actions that ntribute to sustaining prosperity and quality of life.
CSWP brings together all of the major strategies within the sub-region to provide a framework for delivering sustainable economic development and influence policy makers. CSWP itself delivers the Connexions Service for young people, careers guidance services for adults and CW 2000 -- a service to promote to businesses the benefits of embracing the latest communications technology.
CSWP co-ordinates the work of the local Education Business Consortium, Lifelong Learning Partnership, the Coventry Nuneaton Regeneration Zone and the Information, Advice & Guidance Partnership. It operates seven distinct business units each with a unique contribution to make to the company`s overall economic regeneration strategy for the Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire sub-region.
Learning For All(TM) offers employees who do not have access to a computer at work, or who work in an environment not conducive to e-learning, an opportunity
to participate in their employers` e-learning program through a low-cost fully installed PC in their home with internet access and e-learning programs for professional, personal and family use.
CSWP Chairman, Dr Brian Woods-Scawen, said: "We want employees to develop a variety of skills that will not simply enhance their business performance but
will encourage personal development and open them up to new possibilities. Futuremedia provides a unique level of support for the internet-ready home computers, and a diverse range of skills development and e-learning packages, for almost half the comparable cost in the high street. The ethos of CSWP is about maximising the potential of the sub-region in education, training,
employment and economic growth. The ability of its own staff to fully exploit such opportunities is both symbolic and pragmatic. An e-learning facility is
important to maintain and enhance the skills and abilities of employees. It is a vital strand in establishing ourselves as a `best employer to work for` and it is a beacon for partners and organisations involved in regeneration activities to follow."
"The Futuremedia program offered us a unique ombination," said Head of Resources at CSWP, Allison Taylor. "The fully managed implementation and high quality of customer care is critical to ensure this does not burden our internal resources. Plus the program really invests energy in amplifying the benefits for our employees and their families. In addition, the dedicated web portal and
access to a diverse range of skills development and family learning, really helps to engage everyone with the advantages latest technology can deliver, and helps to create a great employee community."
Simon Bennett, Business Development Director for Futuremedia, said: "We are delighted to have been selected to work with CSWP. The Home Computing Initiative
offers employers and employees the opportunity to enjoy a compelling modern benefit, and to be supported in a unique and exceptional way. We treat each new program as a special opportunity to not only provide a cost neutral benefit, but equally ensure that the administration does not burden the employers` internal resources. We were particularly excited to work with CSWP as their ambitions for the program really emphasise how it can practically embrace the themes of corporate citizenship, investing in employee talent and being a great employer."
About CSWP
The Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire Partnerships (CSWP), created as a company limited by guarantee in 1994, unites all sectors of the area`s economy,
and seeks to ensure that they are all working together, and pulling in the same direction. This is proving to be more effective than the pragmatic short-term alliances, which have characterised recent activities in economic development. Such partnership action is now a pre-requisite for the attention of public sector finance, and to secure private investment.

Futuremedia Announces Results for Q2 Fiscal Year 2005
BRIGHTON, UK -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/15/04 --
-- Q2 sales increase 712% to $4.4 million or GBP 2.4 million
-- Sales for last 12 months reach GBP25.5 million
-- Agrees strategic acquisition in Scandinavia
Futuremedia Plc (NASDAQ: FMDAY), a leading European e-learning solutions provider, announced today unaudited financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2005 ended October 31, 2004. The Company`s financial year ends on April 30.
For the period ended October 31, 2004, the Company`s revenues were GBP 2.4 million ($4.4 million), an increase of 712% compared to revenues of GBP293,000 ($539,000) for the same period last year. This increase in revenues was mainly attributable to business gained under the United Kingdom`s Home Computing Initiative (HCI). This marks the end of the fourth consecutive quarter in which the company has been the leading e-learning participant in the HCI program through its Learning For AllTM (LFA) program. Sales for those four quarters have now reached GBP25.5 million ($46.9 million) compared to GBP1.3 million ($2.4 million) for the 12 months prior to Futuremedia`s participation in the HCI program.
For the three months ended October 31, 2004, Futuremedia reported an operating loss of GBP683,000 ($1.26 million), compared to an operating loss of GBP336,000 ($618,000) for the three months ended October 31, 2003. This operating loss is due primarily to a significant increase in sales and marketing as well as general and administrative expenses. These increases reflect expenses in advance of Phase 3 of the Learning For All(TM) program with Futuremedia`s largest customer, Royal Mail, and also the company`s determination to build an infrastructure that will support future growth.
The Company`s net loss was GBP740,000 ($1.36 million), or 28% of revenues for the three months ended October 31, 2004, compared to a net loss of GBP472,000 ($868,000) or 114% of revenues for the same period last year.
"We are pleased with the results of four quarters of participation in the HCI program," said Mats Johansson, CEO. "Futuremedia has been transformed over the last twelve months into one of Europe`s leading e-learning companies. That said, the second quarter`s results declined from the prior quarter due to delays in the launch of Phase 3 of Royal Mail. We continue to expect a very strong holiday season, and expect that our third and fourth quarter will generate the lion`s share of revenues in our LFA business, which is consistent with patterns in Scandinavia, where HCI programs have been in place for many years."
Highlights of the second quarter of 2005:
-- Six new HCI programs use Futuremedia`s Learning For All program:
-- The Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire Partnership, a public
sector organization is to provide Futuremedia`s LFA program to
its members.
-- Capita, a FTSE-100 company and the UK`s leading provider of
business process outsourcing is to take LFA and offer it to
18,000 of its employees.
-- Winterthur Life UK, part of the Credit Suisse Group, will use
Futuremedia`s LFA for its 800 employees.
-- Wanadoo, a major internet service provider, part of France
Telecom, will use LFA for its` UK employees.
-- Wokingham Council, a public body based in the South of England
will use LFA.
-- ING Direct, the world`s leading direct savings bank launched a
Futuremedia LFA program in October for its UK employees.
-- Futuremedia entered into an agreement to acquire Open Training, a
leading Scandinavian e-learning provider. Open training will give
Futuremedia a significant footprint in Scandinavia, Europe`s second
largest HCI market. The transaction is now expected to be completed
no later than February 9, 2005 rather than December as previously
announced. The additional time to close will allow both parties
more time to satisfy certain conditions to closing.
"Our major presence in the UK HCI market continues to build. Not only have we added new programs this quarter but we have a healthy pipeline of prospects for the quarters that follow," said Mr. Johansson. "The UK is presently our core market but our mission extends beyond that. We want to become the leading e-learning provider in Europe. Our planned acquisition of Open Training will be an excellent start, and we are actively looking for further opportunities in Europe`s key HCI markets.
"We are also looking to extend our e-learning software resources and again, we are looking at acquisitions and partnerships as well as investment in internal capabilities to make this possible. This quarter we released thirteen new internally-developed e-learning titles on subjects ranging from `basic computing` to `skiing and snowboarding,` and we have more titles to launch later in the year. We also partnered with a leading driver risk management training company to launch a `speed awareness` simulated e-learning program."
Business Outlook
Due to recent changes in the application of the UK`s Consumer Credit Act, the marketing and administration of the Learning For All program, and other similar HCI programs, has had to be revised in order to maximize the individual employee`s benefits.
At the same time, Government regulations concerning salary sacrifice programs have been extended, incorporating Child Care Vouchers and other employee benefits into the programs. HCI programs fall into the category of salary sacrifice programs. As a result, certain existing and potential customers for the Company`s LFA programs have delayed their decision to start salary sacrifice programs until they are in a position to combine all such benefit programs, causing a temporary delay in the continued growth of LFA take-up levels.
The new rules will take effect at the start of the next UK tax year, April 1 2005, and the Company believes that this should result in increased levels of activity and throughput in its Learning For All contracts.
The Company has revised its full year 2005 guidance of revenue growth to a maximum of a 50% increase in revenue from the GBP18.7 million reported in Fiscal 2004. Management continues to believe the Company will attain positive operating income by the end of FY 2005. "
"Futuremedia plc is well positioned to benefit from the salary sacrifice program expansion as it has formed strategic partnerships to offer a full package of benefits to its customers," said Mr. Johansson. "We are well prepared to offer more products to a larger customer base. I can confirm our third quarter is going well and, based on that, we plan to confidently continue on our path towards both further revenue growth and profitability."

The Company will host a conference call today, December 15, at 11:00am EST/16:00 UK time to discuss its second quarter FY 2005 results and outlook for the balance of FY 2005. The dial in telephone numbers for the conference call are:

Wokingham District Council Embraces E-learning With Futuremedia`s Award-Winning Learning For All(TM) Programme
BRIGHTON, UK -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/15/04 -- European based e-learning solutions provider Futuremedia Plc (NASDAQ: FMDAY) today announced that it is providing its award-winning Learning For All(TM) programme to Wokingham District Council`s approximately 5,000 employees. The financial impact of this contract to Futuremedia will depend on, among other factors, the level of employee participation.
Wokingham District Council, one of the seven unitary councils in the Royal County of Berkshire, serves a population of over 150,000 people, located in a mix of rural and urban sites. The district is home to leading information technology companies including Microsoft, Panasonic and Oracle, who have chosen this part of the Thames Valley for their European or UK headquarters. Futuremedia and Wokingham District Council are to offer the Learning For All(TM) programme to all District Council employees, which includes employees at the individual town or parish councils and schools within the district.
Learning For All(TM) offers employees who do not have access to a computer at work, or who work in an environment not conducive to e-learning, an opportunity to participate in their employers` e-learning programme through a low-cost fully installed PC in their home with internet access and e-learning programmes for professional, personal and family use. The Learning For All(TM) programme is already successfully running in other large UK organisations and is being implemented by Wokingham District Council to give employees the opportunity to improve their IT skills as well as to give their families access to learning from home.
Wokingham District Council develops and supports the delivery of e-services in harmony with the modernisation agenda set by the UK`s central government. It aims to keep the districts` population in touch through seamless electronic services to the community, and covers law enforcement, health, education and environment.
Paul Turrell, Deputy Chief Executive of Wokingham District Council, said: "Within our framework of family-friendly policies and employee benefits, the Learning For All program gives us an opportunity to show our commitment to giving all our employees the opportunity to participate in e-learning, thereby keeping their IT, general professional and personal skills fully up to date with relevant e-learning programmes, and also to offer their family low cost access to a wealth of resources both through the Internet and through specialist software packages. We selected Futuremedia because it has amply proven its capability to roll-out this program, as well as providing top-of-the-range e-learning, assessment and monitoring capabilities."
Mats Johansson, CEO of Futuremedia, said: "We are very happy to be working with Wokingham District Council, one of the leading councils in the UK when it comes to e-government, and hope more UK local authorities will use this program as an example of how to empower employees and their families."

Wokingham District Council Embraces E-learning With Futuremedia`s Award-Winning Learning For All(TM) Programme
BRIGHTON, UK -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/15/04 -- European based e-learning solutions provider Futuremedia Plc (NASDAQ: FMDAY) today announced that it is providing its award-winning Learning For All(TM) programme to Wokingham District Council`s approximately 5,000 employees. The financial impact of this contract to Futuremedia will depend on, among other factors, the level of employee participation.
Wokingham District Council, one of the seven unitary councils in the Royal County of Berkshire, serves a population of over 150,000 people, located in a mix of rural and urban sites. The district is home to leading information technology companies including Microsoft, Panasonic and Oracle, who have chosen this part of the Thames Valley for their European or UK headquarters. Futuremedia and Wokingham District Council are to offer the Learning For All(TM) programme to all District Council employees, which includes employees at the individual town or parish councils and schools within the district.
Learning For All(TM) offers employees who do not have access to a computer at work, or who work in an environment not conducive to e-learning, an opportunity to participate in their employers` e-learning programme through a low-cost fully installed PC in their home with internet access and e-learning programmes for professional, personal and family use. The Learning For All(TM) programme is already successfully running in other large UK organisations and is being implemented by Wokingham District Council to give employees the opportunity to improve their IT skills as well as to give their families access to learning from home.
Wokingham District Council develops and supports the delivery of e-services in harmony with the modernisation agenda set by the UK`s central government. It aims to keep the districts` population in touch through seamless electronic services to the community, and covers law enforcement, health, education and environment.
Paul Turrell, Deputy Chief Executive of Wokingham District Council, said: "Within our framework of family-friendly policies and employee benefits, the Learning For All program gives us an opportunity to show our commitment to giving all our employees the opportunity to participate in e-learning, thereby keeping their IT, general professional and personal skills fully up to date with relevant e-learning programmes, and also to offer their family low cost access to a wealth of resources both through the Internet and through specialist software packages. We selected Futuremedia because it has amply proven its capability to roll-out this program, as well as providing top-of-the-range e-learning, assessment and monitoring capabilities."
Mats Johansson, CEO of Futuremedia, said: "We are very happy to be working with Wokingham District Council, one of the leading councils in the UK when it comes to e-government, and hope more UK local authorities will use this program as an example of how to empower employees and their families."

Zum Glück bin ich noch mit der Hälfte raus. Mit der anderen bleibe ich long. Wenn die die ersten Positiven Zahlen präsentieren dann geht die Rakete ab. Immer mit der Ruhe und long bleiben. Das Szenario hatten wir schon ein paar mal.
kann mir bitte jemand sagen warum die immer mit den zahlen entäuschen ?
und wie sich das ändern soll ?
bitte um antwort danke!
und wie sich das ändern soll ?

-..was mir sicher scheint, ist eine gute Aussicht auf die Zukunft; denn die bisher erzielten Verluste sind auf Investitionen zurückzuführen, die sich meines Erachtens in naher Zukunft auszahlen werden. Und wenn FMDAY dann tatsächlich schwarze Zahlen zu schreiben beginnt, wird der Kurs explodieren! Somit ist für mich persönlich klar: long bis longest !! Vielleicht dauert es ja gar nicht so lange; der Bericht vom 16.12. (durch GM in diesem Forum eingesetzt)lässt schon einiges erahnen.
heamer, stimme Dir voll zu !
Die Trade-Umsätze sind nach den Zahlen nicht eingebrochen;
z.Zt. stabilisierend bzw. leichter Aufwärtstrend zu erkennen. Wenn FMDAY ohne News in den nächsten Tagen das
höhere tägl. Volumen beibehält und wieder die 1 USD-Marke
anpeilt, sieht es vielversprechend aus!
