As a consequence of continued reductions in OEM revenues and slower than anticipated revenues from the US dealer network, coupled with the Board's strategic decision to reduce inventories within the customer supply chain, it is anticipated that full year revenue and profit will be significantly below market expectations.
Furthermore, in light of current trading the Board has concluded that the Group should focus on growth of the SI Brand, cash conversion and those OEM products that add value to the SI Brand. Consequently, the Directors have performed a review of all balance sheet OEM assets resulting in an exceptional non-cash impairment charge of £2.2 million.
