FYJan19 trading update from the  global medical device company.

“The Company has continued to perform well in a difficult environment and expects to report revenues of approximately £15.5m, constrained by well publicised regulatory delays and PBT of approximately £1.2m, which is in line with our expectations.

It is expected that preliminary results for the year ended 31 Jan 2019 will be announced on 30 Apr 2019.

MediaZest* (LON:MDZ) 0.10p £1.29m

Conditional placing of £110k at 0.1p.

Whilst there is a clear trend for retailers over the longer period to invest in better stores and particularly in digital signage technology,  the Company is seeing evidence of retailers slowing or deferring investment decisions. Given this current uncertainty the Board believe it prudent to raise additional funds to improve the Group’s working capital position and strengthen its balance sheet.  As larger projects and clients are becoming the norm, there are increased demands on cashflow where certain projects need to be funded during the delivery phase .

The Board is aware of the dilutive nature of any fundraising at the current share price and has therefore limited the amount raised to cover these two requirements only, via a handful of existing shareholders.

The cash consideration for these transactions will total £11.5m, which will include the settlement of the contracted deferred consideration of £4.2m owed by River UK Casino to the Group (due in Oct 2020) under the terms of the Acquisition.
