Trading Update
Following the year end at 30thΒ June 2008 the Board of Qonnectis is pleased to provide shareholders with an update of progress in the period.
The Company hasΒ maintainedΒ its track recordΒ of significantΒ revenueΒ growth compared with previousΒ financial years and continues to secure new customers for its developing product range.Β Trial quantities of Leakfrogs have been supplied to two moreΒ UKΒ water companies and Leakfrog has also been successfully deployed, to date in relatively low volumes, on a leak management programme inΒ Ireland.Β Qonnectis loggersΒ have also been installed for multi utility monitoring within a substantial housing association.
A number of small orders have been received from Halma under the Memorandum of Understanding signed in February, howeverΒ the distribution agreement has not been finalised. The Company has also been considering other distributors with a greater level of international coverage.
In April a placing raised Β£1.25 million andΒ thisΒ has put the company on a sound financial footing to effectively exploitΒ itsΒ potential in the markets in which it operates and to continue the evolution of its products.
The focus on utility conservation and increased efficiency is stronger than ever with the recent increasesΒ inΒ utility prices. Qonnectis remains the one company whichΒ concentrates its efforts primarily onΒ theΒ waterΒ sectorΒ and, most importantly, has its own in house developed IP technology. ItΒ isΒ increasinglyΒ likely thatΒ compulsory water metering will become more widespread, particularly after April 2010Β andΒ this bodes well for the Company's prospects.
The Company plans to release it preliminary announcement of the results for the year ended 30 June 2008, in mid November 2008.
