Stornoway plans stock sale; Functional upsizes deal; Blink Logic sells at discount; Landore closes offering

By Kenneth Lim

Boston, Nov. 4 - Stornoway Diamond Corp. plans to sell C$3 million of its common stock through a flow-through placement to fund exploration.

Functional Technologies Corp. upsized a sale of stock and warrant units to C$2 million after the deal was oversubscribed.

Blink Logic Inc. raised $1.5 million through a private placement of convertible debentures for working capital.

Landore Resources Ltd. completed a £3.11 million private placement of stock to a director and other investors to fund its exploration projects.

Stornoway plans stock deal

Stornoway Diamond announced a C$3 million non-brokered private placement of stock.

The company will offer 20 million flow-through common shares at C$0.15 apiece. Stornoway common stock (TSX: SWY) gained 3.57% or half a cent to close at C$0.145 Tuesday.

External investors as well as insiders are expected to take part in the offering, the company said in a statement.

Proceeds will be used for exploration in Stornoway's Renard diamond project in Quebec.

Stornoway, based in Vancouver, B.C., is a diamond exploration and development company.

Functional Tech expands deal

Functional Technologies increased its stock-and-warrant offering to C$2 million from C$1.8 million after the placement was oversubscribed.

The company is now selling about 3.33 million units of one common share and one warrant at C$0.60 per unit. The placement originally involved 3 million units.

Each whole warrant expires after two years and has a strike price at C$0.60.

Functional Technologies common stock (TSX: FEB) closed unchanged at C$0.60 Tuesday.

The placement replaced a planned rights offering that was canceled by the company, which cited market conditions. Proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes.

Vancouver, B.C-based Functional Technologies is a functional foods and biological health products company that develops and commercializes advanced yeast products, and other novel biological products, for the food and the health care industries.

Blink Logic raises $1.5 million

Blink Logic said it took in $1.5 million from a private placement of zero-coupon senior secured convertible debentures due Oct. 31, 2010.

The approximately $1.67 million of debentures were sold at a 90% discount to Enable Growth Partners LP.

The initial conversion price was set at $0.20 per share, a 60.7% discount to Blink Logic's Oct. 30 closing stock price. Blink Logic common stock (OTCBB: BLKL) closed at $0.69 on Tuesday, up by 35.29% or $0.18.

Enable, which already holds about $4.07 million of debentures by Blink Logic together with other Enable-related parties, also received warrants for about 6.25 million common shares, exercisable at $0.20 for five years. The new convertibles will be senior to the older debentures and will be guaranteed by a security interest and lien on all of Blink Logic's assets.

Proceeds will be used for working capital.

Blink Logic, based in Mill Valley, Calif., is a business intelligence solutions provider.
