I just got off the phone with my photographic supplier and they said that 
Forte probably dropped out of business last summer and that Ilford is a 
shell of a company that is accepting orders but not filling them.  They have 
outstanding orders that have been paid for, but not filled with Ilford.

They also said that short of some billionaire buying them out, that they are 
probably gone.
