Formjet is planning to grow the business by making strategic acquisitions in 2010 and taking advantage of opportunities from the economic and financial crisis
The firm said 2009 had been a transitional year with the sale of Panda Software (UK) and Andrew Monk joining as chief executive and taking a major equity stake in the business.
But Formjet said that before embarking on an acquisition strategy it was important to "have one's own house in order" and, as previously reported, some costs had been taken out of the business.
It added: "In addition, we will also be providing for the potential write off of our loan of 397,418 to ASI Benelux as the board of Formjet does not believe it is in the interests of shareholders to fund this business further due to difficulties in the Dutch retail IT markets.
"Formjet has no equity or ownership of this business."
It added: "The board will also be taking a very prudent approach to all accounting policies, which may necessitate further write offs and provisions for the year ending 31 December 2009.
"We are able to take this approach, as our balance sheet remains strong."
