Extension of Paid Proof of Concept with Broadcaster

Forbidden Technologies plc (AIM: FBT), the AIM-quoted owner and developer of Forscene (the market-leading cloud video platform), announces that the Company's Forscene proof of concept with a major UK broadcaster has been extended to complete the testing and evaluation impacted by organisational changes at the broadcaster client. The extended proof of concept with the broadcaster, which covers a workflow that includes the editing software of a major US technology player, is expected to conclude towards the end of the calendar year.

David Main, Forbidden Technologies Chairman, commented:

"The extension should allow for broader visibility of the potential value of Forscene, and may allow the Company to extend its presence within the broadcaster."
