"The Group is making considerable efforts to reduce the amount of its receivables and is confident that by 31 March 2013 its receivables position will have improved substantially." ...grateful for views on this...in what sense has "receivables position [] improved substantially"????????

"debtors pile up as cash conversion problems continued to dog the company." ..."Hence the deterioration in operating cash flows to a negative 764m rupees from -293m rupees in the year before and the company's need to place another £4.1m in shares since the start of the new financial year so as to replenish its exhausted cash reserves" Until signs that this is being resolved, why take risk??

As anticipated, market conditions in the first few months of 2013 have remained challenging with intense competition in a market characterised by a 6.5% reduction in construction activity compared to the first quarter of 2012*. The continued investment in new sectors combined with margin pressures in the current market, will produce a half year result significantly below the prior year underlying profit before tax of £0.1m, albeit on increased revenue. However, as outlined at the time of the Group's preliminary results, we expect our revenues and profits to be heavily skewed towards the second half of the year.

The UK economy has not improved and many companies in the private sector continue to tread water at best. Faced with tough market conditions and an ever-increasing need to cut costs and improve efficiency, the outsourcing of non-core services is an attractive option for many of these companies. Central government and local authorities are also cutting costs wherever possible and the public sector continues to offer significant opportunity. This is particularly true in the justice, social housing, education and health sectors, all areas where we are active. Outsourcing is an industry that grew out of response to recession, and has continued to evolve in response to economic pressures. According to a report published in November 2012 by Oxford Economics for the Business Services Association, the total value of outsourcing in the UK is currently estimated to be in the region of £199 billion, with a 64%-36% split in favour of the private rather than the public sector. This equates to almost 7.5% of the total economy-wide output, but perhaps more importantly, the report found that the outsourced service sector pays 9.5% of government tax revenues and employs 10.5% of the UK workforce.
