Contract win with National Stock Exchange of India (NSE)

 

FD (AIM:FDP.L, ESM:FDP.I), a leading provider of software and consulting services, is pleased to announce a contract win with the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) for a range of next generation trading services, based on FD's kdb+ software platform. Following successful user testing, the system has gone live and as a result NSE is now able to provide its clients with the capability to test their algorithms before they are made live.

 

The NSE, set up in 1992, is a thought leader in the deployment of technology to improve trading practices. This contract has the potential to serve as an example towards improving the robustness of exchange trading platforms on a global basis and also in providing additional, value-added services to market participants.

 

The contract also adds a flagship global Exchange to FD's customer base in a strategically important region. Under the contract, FD will provide an Algorithmic Testing Facility which will allow NSE market participants to test the impact of their algorithms before they are deployed in production, using trade simulators to replay historical data, create market "noise" and generate extreme market shocks to fully explore the robustness and efficacy of new algorithms.

 

Ravi Varanasi, Chief, Business Development, NSE commented: "The system is expected to deliver value added services to the market participants. We can now provide Algo Test facility and accompanying data analytics to the market participants when they want it. Through individual, group and crowd tests the market participants may track an algorithm's efficiency within and across clients."

 

Brian Conlon, Chief Executive Officer of FD, commented:  "This is an important win for FD, once again referencing our software's ability to manage large volumes of real time data and, in this case, help Exchanges protect their integrity while allowing their market participants to deploy algorithms quickly and safely. We are delighted to welcome NSE as a client."

 Transense Technologies PLC

("Transense", the "Company" or the "Group")

 

Sale of IntelliSAW Division for US$5m

 

Transense is pleased to announce that it has agreed to sell the business (net assets and goodwill) of IntelliSAW, and receive a one-off license fee as part of the transaction to secure exclusive use of Transense Technologies' IP relating to the IntelliSAW business, to US-based Emerson, a diversified global manufacturing company, for a total cash consideration of US$5m. The total sum payable to Transense Technologies net of all costs will be approximately £2.9m.

The sale of IntelliSAW, plus the proceeds raised from the recent placing and offer, provide Transense with a strong cash position, which will be used to accelerate commercial  developments in the two remaining divisons, Translogik and SAWSense. The Transense Group (excluding IntelliSAW) has already achieved a positive EBITDA in both H1 and the full year to 30 June 2014, and with the consequential reduction in monthly Group overhead run-rate, the sale moves the Group significantly closer to breakeven. The IntelliSAW division had a net loss in the year to June 2015 of £1.04m (2014: £0.96m).

Graham Storey, CEO of Transense, commented "The sale of the IntelliSAW division, to a company of the standing of Emerson, is another demonstration of the commercial value of our technology. This provides Emerson with a unique opportunity to strengthen and grow this business. I am grateful to the employees of IntelliSAW for their commitment to growth and operational excellence throughout our partnership. We now have a considerably strengthened balance sheet, and believe that the Group is well positioned to become a self-sustaining, high-growth and cash-generative business. "

Wynnstay Group plc

("Wynnstay" or "the Group" or "the Company")

 

Expansion into New Trading Area with Acquisition of Agricentre

& Trading Update

 

Wynnstay, the agricultural and retail group, is pleased to announce that it has reached agreement with T. G. Jeary Ltd on terms for the acquisition of its West Country farm supplies operation, Agricentre, and certain related assets ("Agricentre" or the "Acquisition"). The Company expects to enter into a legally binding agreement for the Acquisition shortly with a view to completing the Acquisition on 30 October 2015. Wynnstay will utilise its existing banking facilities to fund the Acquisition. The terms of the Acquisition are not being disclosed for commercial reasons.

Established in 1961, Agricentre operates a network of eight units supplying a wide range of agricultural inputs including animal healthcare, dairy hygiene and animal nutrition products as well as feed related equipment and other hardware. Its units are located in Bristol, Calne, Langport, Honiton, Salisbury, Shepton Mallet, Sturminster Newton and the Isle of Wight. Agricentre has historically generated annualised sales of approximately £15 million and for the current financial year is expected to show a small operating loss.

The Acquisition is an important strategic move for Wynnstay, extending the Group's trading presence into a major new geographic region. Wynnstay expects to integrate the business into its existing stores network and to significantly enhance Agricentre's product range and operational efficiencies. However the full benefits of the Acquisition are not expected to come through for 12 months. 

Wynnstay is also pleased to report that following satisfactory trading in the second half of the financial year to date, final results for the 12 months to 31 October 2015, before acquisition costs, are expected to be in line with market expectations. Looking ahead, the trading backdrop for farmers remains difficult and Wynnstay is taking a cautious view on the expected recovery in output prices over the next twelve months. The investment programme in the business is progressing well and underpins the Group's continuing development. 

Ken Greetham, CEO of Wynnstay Group, said:

"Agricentre has been supplying farmers in the West Country with agricultural inputs for 54 years and I am delighted to announce that we have agreed terms to acquire the business. It is a strategically important move for us as it extends Wynnstay into a new trading area. We look forward to working with the existing management team to further develop the business and bring new products and services to their customer base.

UK farmers are currently facing challenges, with low farmgate prices particularly for milk. While the trading backdrop remains challenging, we remain positive about the long term opportunities driven by world food demand, and continue to focus on assisting farmers with the drive for enhanced efficiencies in production."

The Power Project has already been registered with the Private Power and Infrastructure Board ("PPIB"), part of the Ministry of Water & Power, Government of Pakistan.  The Parties have now made a detailed submission to PPIB, of which the Consortium Agreement forms part.
