Trading Update
MySQUAR, the Myanmar-language social media, entertainment and payments platform whose principal activity is to design, develop and commercialise Myanmar-focused internet-based mobile applications, is pleased to announce a trading update for the financial year ended 30th June 2018.
Trading in the full financial year ended 30th June 2018 has progressed well with unaudited revenue of approximately USD 1.839m (split as to USD 1.605m from games and USD 0.234m from advisory services) showing growth of 74% compared to the year ended 30 June 2017. This growth has been driven by an increase in gaming revenues which offset the expected decline in advisory revenues from the prior year. Revenues in the second half of the financial year increased slightly over the first half with second half revenues benefitting from the advisory revenues set out above which all fell within H2. despite fewer new game releases. The loss for the full year is expected to increase substantially as a result of the acquisition costs of MyPay Myanmar, amortisation charges and the one-off costs of staff rationalisation, management changes and fundraising expenses. Since the end of the financial year, total monthly revenues in July and August 2018 were in line with last year's monthly games revenue average of MMK 171k. However, since the end of June 2018, the MMK has depreciated by 13% against the USD. Unaudited cash was approximately USD 2m as of 30 June 2018 with the Company still able to access the currently undrawn USD 1m loan facility provided by Rising Dragon Singapore Pte Ltd as required.
The preliminary accounts for the year ended 30 June 2018 are expected to be released in December 2018.
Eric Schaer, CEO, commented:
"We've been encouraged that our games revenues have grown significantly in the 12 months to 30th June 2018 and steps have been taken to mitigate the loss going forward. The Board has been working hard to deliver new revenue lines and looks forward to providing further updates to shareholders in the near term."
