5.3m cash v 1.4m mkt cap. 21 Apr 2013 11:33
As a result of these factors, the Directors now expect to report revenue materially below that recorded last year. In addition, since a proportion of the revenue shortfall related to performance fees, which achieve a higher margin, the operating profitability will be significantly reduced from last year's level. Investors should also note that the Company will incur a non-recurring charge to profits of approximately £350,000 from the aborted acquisition during the financial year. Despite the significant revenue shortfall in the final quarter, the Company had cash of £5.3 million at 31 March 2012
Notwithstanding the reduced profitability the Board remains confident of GEONG's business model and its potential. The Company is still getting new IaaS clients in its core markets and new industries with two strategic partners, and has not lost any IaaS clients during the quarter and its business partner has not moved any business to the Company's competitors. Indeed, the SaaS business gained 2 new SaaS clients during the final quarter of the financial year, a total of 16 SaaS clients during the year and is in current negotiations with another 5 potential new SaaS clients.
