Financial Position Update
RM2 International S.A. ("RM2" or the "Company"), the sustainable pallet innovator, provides the following update on its financial position.
The Company announced on 19 January 2018 that it estimated its cash balance at the end of January 2018 would be approximately $2.0 million and that it would have sufficient cash to continue operating through the third week of February 2018.
The Company is now pleased to report that, based on the information known to it today, as a result of collection of receipts from debtors as well as continued careful cash management and cost reduction measures, the Company has sufficient cash to continue operating through the first third of the month of March, although this could vary depending upon the outcome of ongoing discussions with third parties, including manufacturing partners and alternative sources of financing.
The Company remains committed to further reducing its overheads and continues its efforts to monetize certain non-core assets where possible.
Trials of the Company's ELIoT smart pallet continue to elicit positive feedback from customers. RM2's active pallet tracking system has demonstrated to customers how they can rapidly increase supply chain efficiencies. Pallet losses are reduced through the swift identification of pallets that have exited their authorized supply chain locations. This has enabled customers to quickly recover those pallets. Equally importantly, active pallet tracking has enabled customers to identify the root cause of pallet leakage and thereby eliminate further losses.
The Company continues its discussions with potential funding partners, strategic investors and customers in order to progress the business. The Company continues to take appropriate advice as it explores the financial and strategic alternatives available to it. The Company will provide further updates as and when appropriate.
The information contained within this announcement is considered to be inside information prior to its release, as defined in Article 7 of the Market Abuse Regulation No. 596/2014, and is disclosed in accordance with the Company's obligations under Article 17 of those Regulations.
