Futuremedia plc was due to file it Annual Return on 4th Jan 2010, which according to Companies house it did not do.

See http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/2dd59558d03c9abcaadfd02381efb72b/compdetails

The following guidance is provided by UK Government:

"Every company must deliver an annual return to Companies House at least once every 12 months. The company's director(s) and the secretary (where applicable), are responsible for ensuring that they deliver the annual return to Companies House within 28 days after the anniversary of incorporation of a company or of the anniversary of the made-up date of the last annual return.

If you do not deliver the company’s annual return, the Registrar might assume that the company is no longer carrying on business or in operation and take steps to strike it from the register.

Remember: It is a criminal offence not to deliver the company's annual return within 28 days of the made-up date, for which Companies House may prosecute the company and its officers."

We can therefore hope that the penalty suggested is being actively considered and that Arrest Warrants are about to be issued, IMHO along with permanent disbarment from holding Directorships in any UK or EU listed companies are about to wing their way out to the relevant individuals and that extradition proceedings wil be enjoined for those US residents to who this may apply...

Just because this company is on the pinksheets in the US does not exempt it from filngs in the UK and unless various people wake up to this, they are in real danger of incuring major personal damage to careers and status.

SHAREHOLDERS HAVE LEGAL RIGHTS TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THEIR INVESTMENT AND CANNOT BE TREATED LIKE SH*T!
