Business Update

i-nexus Global plc (AIM: INX), a provider of cloud-based Strategy Execution software solutions for the Global 5000, today provides a business update in light of the global COVID-19 pandemic.

The health and safety of our staff is our top priority. As with many software companies, we are an agile business and well-equipped to facilitate remote working. Our staff have been working from home since March 20th, with no disruption to the Company's continuity of service.

As the temporary global shutdown and associated uncertainty continues, the Group is experiencing longer sales cycles as existing and potential customers focus on business continuity planning and postpone procurement decisions for new software. This is currently making it increasingly difficult to forecast future sales. In addition, as our clients' businesses are impacted, they are inevitably looking to conserve cash, with consequential uncertainty for i-nexus regarding the timing of collection of our debtors although every effort is being made to secure timely settlement.

The Board has been monitoring this evolving situation very closely and given the level of uncertainty, it has resolved to undertake material, short-term measures to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on financial performance to the extent possible. This includes salary sacrifices across the Company, together with general overhead reductions, staffing cuts and the 'furloughing' of a proportion of the workforce under the Government's recently announced 'Job Retention Scheme'. As at 29 February 2020, the Company's cash position was £642k. As a result of these initiatives, the Group's monthly overheads are expected to reduce by approximately 50 per cent. from April 2020, which will serve to extend the Company's cash runway.

The Board will continue to monitor this evolving situation and advise shareholders, as appropriate, when the impact and longevity of the COVID-19 pandemic becomes clearer.

The Company currently plans to announce its interim results for the six months ended 31 March 2020 in late May 2020.
