Notification re discontinued business

9th May 2017 07:00

RNS Number : 5312E
Frontier Smart Technologies Grp Ltd
09 May 2017
 

For immediate release

9 May 2017

 

Frontier Smart Technologies Group Ltd

 

('Frontier' or the 'Group')

 

Notification re discontinued business

 

Frontier (AIM: FST), announces that in the last week, as part of an internal reforecasting exercise, the Board has become aware that an intercompany debtor of £1.67 million recorded in the balance sheet at 31 December 2016 should have been provided against as part of the disposal of the Healthcare business.

 

Had this provision been taken, the loss from discontinued operations would have been disclosed as £15.84 million rather than the loss of £14.17 million included in the accounts. This charge is not a cash item and the Board do not consider this anticipated adjustment to be material in the context of the 2016 accounts and the discontinued business. Furthermore, there is no impact on the profits or cash of the continuing Consumer Audio business. The precise accounting treatment will be determined during 2017.
