Futuremedia Moves to Pink Sheets

LONDON, Feb. 20, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Futuremedia plc (Other OTC:FMDAY.PK - News) today announced that the Company's stock will now trade exclusively on the Pink Sheets under the symbol FMDAY.PK. As mentioned in its January 20th Year in Review, the company has taken this step as a cost cutting measure. The Company's common stock will continue to be eligible for public trading on the Pink Sheets (http://www.pinksheets.com) quotations system instead of the OTC Bulletin Board.``The auditing and legal expenses associated with our annual 20F filing amount to over $500k, and since most of the trading of our stock occurs on the Pink Sheets anyway, we decided that the OTC Bulletin Board listing was cost prohibitive,'' stated George O'Leary, CEO of Futuremedia. ``Going forward, we believe that using our resources to complete the turnaround process and grow our business better serves the interests of our shareholders.''Futuremedia will suspend all periodic report filing with the SEC, effective immediately.

As part of our continuing efforts to maintain an active dialogue with the company's shareholders, we are providing this ``Calendar Year in Review'' to capture the strategic changes that took place in 2008, summarize our accomplishments and outline our view of the company's short term outlook. Over the past 18 months we have been making conscious efforts to increase and maximize transparency.Strategic SummaryFuturemedia has undergone a significant transformation in the 2008 calendar year. The most significant strategic objective was the sale of the FM Learning division. We accomplished this before October 1, 2008, and we have received the final payment earlier this week. We are pleased that we were able to accomplish this objective in spite of the financial markets' melt-down and onset of a global recession. As planned, the sale of the FM Learning division enabled us to focus entirely on our primary business (Button Group) in the events and exhibition space. To emphasize the significance of this change, we rebranded the company as SPICE and launched an effective marketing campaign in the fall of '08 that was extremely well received by our clients and vendors.Another of our strategic objectives for 2008 was to expand our operations into growing, high-profile markets that have significant upside. With the opening of our office in Dubai and the ap...
