Investment in MelodyVR

The board of Armstrong is pleased to announce that it has agreed to invest £212,500 in MelodyVR Ltd ("MelodyVR") by means of secured convertible loan notes ("Loan Notes"). MelodyVR is developing a premium music service and specialises in creating immersive virtual reality ("VR") music experiences.
MelodyVR was established in 2015 to create virtual reality content by capturing live music performances. Virtual reality is a term used to describe a three dimensional environment which can be explored and interacted with by a user. VR content created by MelodyVR will be viewed using VR headsets that are currently being developed by a number of technology companies including Oculus (owned by Facebook), HTC, Google, Sony and Samsung, providing users with an immersive 360 degree experience.
MelodyVR has developed its own technology for the recording and live streaming of music performances. MelodyVR plans to make live and recorded music content available to users via its own app and third party VR platforms. It is intended that the MelodyVR app will be deployed across Oculus Rift, Android, iOS, Samsung Gear VR, HTC Vive, Playstation VR and other platforms. MelodyVR has entered into a number of exclusivity agreements with some of the major music festival and event promoters facilitating the filming and live broadcast of music events in a virtual reality format. It is intended that the MelodyVR app will be launched in 2016.
The Loan Notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and are repayable on or before 31 March 2017. The Loan Notes may be converted at the option of Armstrong into equity shares in MelodyVR on 31 March 2017 or earlier upon the sale or listing of MelodyVR or upon the raising of equity finance by MelodyVR.

FD signs MOU with Utilismart
FD (AIM: FDP.L, ESM: FDP.I), a leading provider of software and consulting services, announces that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Utilismart Corporation, a meter data management and analytics company with more than 100 clients including electricity, water and gas utilities across North America. The MOU is expected to lead to an agreement to use the Group's Kx technology for sensor analytics in conjunction with Utilismart's suite of smart grid software applications, to support the management of Utilismart's customers' meter and sensor data, including data collection, processing and analytic services for engineering, operations, customer service, metering and billing.
Under the proposed agreement, FD will provide the Kx technology and related infrastructure to complement Utilismart's existing solution. This will significantly enhance Utilismart's ability to serve this high growth segment immediately and keep pace with new customer demand related to the Internet of Things connected to utility infrastructure. It will be delivered as a Cloud-based solution and is expected to be installed by Q3 2016 with FD being remunerated on a monthly recurring revenue share basis for additional meters installed.
Utilismart selected the Kx-based solution following detailed evaluation of competing solutions and their ability to capture, store and manipulate big fast data sets. When implemented, the system will provide a significant installed user base for the Group's sensor data platform.
John Avdoulos, President, Utilismart, commented: "Utilities are changing and the utilities of the future will look dramatically different from utilities of today. As more sensors and devices are deployed and as the utility is transformed, the marriage of Utilismart's Online Data Solution and FD's Kx technology for sensor analytics will revolutionise how utilities use data."
Brian Conlon, Chief Executive Officer of FD, commented: "We are delighted to partner with Utilismart and look forward to delivering innovative solutions to its existing and new utility customers. This is a landmark agreement for FD in further propagating the Kx technology. It further evidences our belief that our technology is ideally suited for the processing and analysis of sensor data and will provide reference clients across the Internet of Things, electricity, water and gas industries."

Licence Agreement and first order for Australian market
LightwaveRF plc ("LightwaveRF" or the "Company"), the creator of the LightwaveRF Smart Home Platform and products for the Internet of Things enabling households and businesses to remotely operate and control lighting, power, heating and security using smartphones, tablets, PC and Mac applications, announces it has signed a technology licence agreement with Powerdiverter and has received a first order for the Australian market.
The Powerdiverter helps owners of renewable energy systems such as solar PV, divert spare energy to their water heater, optimising the usage of excess electricity. Powerdiverter will build LightwaveRF technology in to its Powerdiverter controller unit to communicate directly with the LightwaveRF Link. Consumers will be able to use the LightwaveRF App to decide where to divert surplus generated electricity using connected sockets and switches for maximum payback and convenience. A licence fee will be payable for each Powerdiverter product that is LightwaveRF-enabled.
Powerdiverter Australian distributor, Apricus, will begin to sell associated LightwaveRF products with the Powerdiverter unit. A first order for an initially limited range of LightwaveRF products of USD 250,000 (£175,000) has been placed which brings the Company's current order book to over US$1.7m (c£1.2m).
Mike Lord, LightwaveRF's CEO, commented: "This is our first licence deal which gives added benefits to the growing LightwaveRF customer base. It also adds Australia to the LightwaveRF map."
Daniel Lawes, Power Diverter's Managing Director, added: "We have been very impressed with the reliability and ease of use of LightwaveRF technology compared with other possible technology partners. There are over 600,000 Solar PV installations in the UK and 1,000,000 in Australia for which the Powerdiverter/LightwaveRF product combination is very compelling."

Vela Technologies plc
("Vela" or the "Company")
Update on investment in StreamTV Networks Inc.
The Board of Vela (AIM: VELA), the investing company focused on early-stage and pre-IPO disruptive technology investments, would like to update shareholders on progress at StreamTV Networks Inc. ("StreamTV") following the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, where StreamTV exhibited its Ultra-D technology, which allows 3D television to be viewed without the need for glasses and from any angle.
Vela would like to highlight an interview with Raja Rajan, the COO of StreamTV, which updates where StreamTV is with regards to the technology, manufacturing and market opportunities.
The interview can be listened to at: http://www.bootcamp.com/interview.jsp?interviewId=2526
In summary, StreamTV is now in a position to confirm that, in conjunction with Pegatron, the Asia-based designer and manufacturer to companies like Apple, Microsoft and various major TV brands, StreamTV's products are currently in production and it is expected these will be shipped from this month to customers.
For consumers the technology is planned to be affordable and natural, with the degree of 3D adjustable to suit individual needs just like a volume control. The technology will also enable consumers to convert 2D content to 3D. The ability to do this opens up the possibility of using the technology at live events for the immediate conversion of 2D to 3D.
Vela made a minority investment of $100,000 in StreamTV in October 2013 by way of a convertible loan note. The loan notes accrued interest at the rate of 12% annually until 31 December 2014 and are currently accruing interest at the rate of 13% annually. The final maturity date on the loan notes is 1 August 2016.
Antony Laiker, Executive Director of Vela, made the following statement:
"Vela is delighted to be able to update shareholders on progress at StreamTV. The board of Vela believe that this product is truly disruptive and transformational. It addresses two major issues. Firstly, 3D technology is not all about things jumping out of screens at the viewer. Secondly, the conversion of 2D to 3D resolves the issue of there not being sufficient product. In summary, this technology offers a 'natural' viewing of content in 3D at home and enhances that content in a way not previously available."

FD acquires QuantumKDB
FD (AIM: FDP.L, ESM: FDP.I), a leading provider of software and consulting services, announces that it has acquired the entire issued share capital of QuantumKDB (UK) Limited ("Quantum") for total consideration of up to £2.2m. The acquisition provides the Group with complementary consultancy expertise to support the growth of its Kx business and is expected to be earnings enhancing in the first full year following acquisition*.
Acquisition rationale
Quantum was founded in 2011 by its CEO Kieran Lucid and provides Kx consulting in the UK, US and Hong Kong. The majority of its clients operate in capital markets and the acquisition will strengthen the Group's relationship with certain key clients as well as adding to the existing customer base. Quantum has a total of 15 consultants with strong experience in Kx technology. In its latest financial year to 13 September 2015, Quantum reported profit before tax of £0.3m and had net assets of £0.25m at acquisition.
Terms of the Acquisition
The initial consideration for the acquisition is £1.7m of which £0.6m is payable in cash and £1.1m is payable through the issue of 72,940 new ordinary shares in FD (the "Consideration Shares"). Deferred consideration of up to £0.5m is payable on the achievement of certain targets on the 12 month anniversary of the acquisition.
Application has been made for the 72,940 Consideration Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and ESM and it is expected that admission will take place on 15 January 2016. The Consideration Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing ordinary shares in issue. Following this allotment, the total issued share capital of the Company will increase to 23,921,972 ordinary shares.
Kieran Lucid, Chief Executive Officer of Quantum, commented: "As the home of Kx technology, FD is a natural fit for us. We are joining at a time of rapid expansion in the Kx client base across industry sectors, as more and more clients appreciate the benefits of this technology that has dominated capital markets for more than 10 years. We are excited about drawing on the expertise we've gained to assist the Group in its ambitious plans for the future."
Brian Conlon, Chief Executive Officer of FD, commented: "We are experiencing increasing demand for Kx skills from existing and potential customers and the acquisition of Quantum will add to our existing capabilities and support our growth plans. We welcome its staff to the Group."

LED Contract Wins and Full Year Results Announcement Date
Minimise Energy: LED Contract Wins
The Board is pleased to announce that APC's energy efficiency technologies business, Minimise Energy, has won several major LED Lighting contracts totalling over £1.15m.
Imtech Inviron has awarded Minimise Energy a contract to supply and install energy efficient LED lighting at 18 London Fire Brigade fire stations. The contract is part of the first phase of the Brigade's energy efficiency upgrade under the Mayor of London's RE:FIT framework, a programme designed to reduce carbon emissions in Greater London, and will lead to a combined energy saving across all 18 sites of an estimated 385,982kWh. This is one of several new projects recently undertaken with this client.
Minimise Energy has also been contracted by existing client Royal Mail Group to supply and install LED lighting solutions at five new sites. This follows work successfully completed in 2015 and is a further extension of the Group's on-going energy efficiency programme for the client.
A substantial new contract has also been awarded by Cofely Energy Services, to supply and install LED lighting at a major London university. This contract includes three of its largest buildings and is also delivered under the Mayor of London's RE:FIT framework. This is the first LED lighting project delivered working with Cofely Energy Services.
Finally, a contract to replace outdated lighting at five key Eastbourne Borough Council buildings, including Eastbourne Town Hall, has been awarded to Minimise Energy by Kier Services. The delivery of this energy efficiency programme, which will cut lighting energy consumption by an estimated 64%, has already commenced.
These new contract wins offer significant opportunity for future development and demonstrate the success of the Groups' revised strategy and re-focus following last year's operational review. Significantly, along with existing work streams, all projects will be delivered in the first quarter of calendar 2016.
Fiscal Year August 2015 Results Announcement
The full year to August 2015 results will be announced on 8 January 2016.
Richard Hodgson, Chief Executive of APC Technology Group PLC, commented:
"I am very pleased to be able to start the New Year with further contract successes for the Group. It is particularly pleasing that these orders are in our refocused and restructured LED business and follow on from those announced in our Water and Distribution divisions before the Christmas break. It's also very encouraging and testament to the hard work of our Minimise Energy team that the new contracts comprise both new and existing customer relationships. We have built an impressive pipeline across a wide customer base and our enhanced processes and procedures will help to ensure the profitability of these contracts for shareholders.
"As previously announced, the year to August 2015 was a difficult year for the Group, which the full year results announcement will bring closure to. With the great progress that we have made since then, through the implementation of our operational review and in the business retained and new business won, we are starting 2016 full of confidence."

Midatech signs licencing agreement with Emergex Vaccines
Midatech Pharma (AIM: MTPH, Nasdaq: MTP), the international specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercialising products in oncology and other therapeutic areas, today announces that the Company has entered into a licensing agreement with Emergex Vaccines Limited ("Emergex"), a private UK biotechnology company focused on infectious diseases utilising Midatech's gold nanoparticle technology. Midatech has also agreed a Service and Manufacturing Agreement with Emergex for synthesis and for manufacturing of cGMP material for clinical trials.
This exclusive licensing agreement is focused on Midatech's proprietary platform based on certain metal core glyconanoparticles and Emergex's development and commercialisation of various vaccines, to prevent/treat infectious diseases. This will be the first application of Midatech's nanoparticles within vaccines in infectious diseases.
Midatech will receive initial, milestone and royalty payments as part of the deal. Specific terms of the agreement have not been disclosed.
Commenting on the announcement, Dr. Jim Phillips, CEO of Midatech Pharma, said: "This licensing agreement marks another step in Midatech's ambitious growth strategy. Emergex's interest in applying our nanoparticles to its vaccines further validates the broad potential of our technology. The financials of the deal underline Midatech's technology platform's value outside the group's core areas of focus & the Group is comfortable that revenues will meet consensus expectations for 2015."
Emergex added: "The licensing of Midatech's IP and know-how together with our in-licensing of novel vaccine targets presents a significant opportunity for Emergex to create the first prophylactic/therapeutic vaccine applications in nanomedicines, strengthening Emergex's position in synthetic vaccine development. The ability to synthesise vaccines without biological-derived components, now called "vaccines on demand" will be an important prevention/therapeutic strategy for the rapid intervention in "hot virus" epidemics and/or in meeting bio-terrorism threats."
