Repayment of Loan Facility

and Trading Update

 

 

ServicePower Technologies Plc (AIM: SVR), a market leader in mobile workforce management software, announces today that, on 15 December 2015, the Company will repay in full the unsecured short term loan facility from Herald Investment Trust.

 

As announced on 30 June 2015, the Company obtained an unsecured short term loan facility for £750,000 from Herald Investment Trust plc, taking effect from 1 July 2015 and repayable in full on the 15 December 2015, accruing interest at a rate of 6 per cent. per annum, (the "Loan"). The purpose of the Loan was for on-going working capital purposes and in order to continue R&D investment. Following the repayment of the Loan, net cash is expected to be approximately £1.4 million as at 31 December 2015.

 

The Company reported in its interim results announcement on 30 September 2015 that it had made good progress in the first half of its financial year and expected a better second half trading performance. The Company now expects total revenue to be approximately £13 million (absent any further contract wins, as further detailed below) and that this revenue is expected to comprise a higher proportion of lower margin sales than expected, assuming no additional license sales are recognised prior to the financial year-end. The Company has also incurred additional expenses of approximately £300,000 more than originally expected, in respect of IT expenditure and cloud transition costs.

 

The Company is still negotiating a number of license sales which may improve revenue and gross margin; however there is no guarantee that these contracts will be signed before the Company's financial year end.

 

A further announcement will be made, post the Company's financial year end.
