("GEONG" or "the Company")
Trading Update
GEONG International Limited (AIM: GNG), the AIM listed, Beijing based, provider
of content management software and solutions, provides the following update
ahead of the Company's announcement of its audited results, which are expected
to be released by the end of September 2015.
Since the release of the interim results on 23 December 2014, the Company has
adapted its business model in response to evolving Chinese market conditions
and customer needs. As a result, over the last few months, the Company has
focused the business on the Mobile Marketing Services business in the financial
services sector. The Mobile Marketing Services business concentrates on small
and medium sized financial institutions for which it operates a combined
pre-pay and charge per click ("CPC") model for the majority of clients. The
traditional IaaS and SaaS business has been optimised to focus on our largest
clients as set out in previous statements. The Directors believe that this
strategy will maximize and speed up the collection of debtors.
During the second half of the year to 31 March 2015 the Company's Digital
Marketing Service and Mobile Marketing Service business has made sales to eight
existing financial clients. They are Guangfa Bank, China Construction Bank,
Agricultural Bank of China, China Minsheng Bank, China Everbright Bank, Pudong
Development Bank, China Bond and New Life Insurance Company. These are expected
to generate revenues in the region of GBP1 million for the year to 31 March 2016.
As set out in the statement of 29 June 2015, the Directors are in the process
of drawing up the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2015 ahead of the audit
which is expected to commence in early August. The Board can confirm that
revenues are currently expected to be in the region of GBP8m although this amount
remains conditional on agreement by certain clients of work performed and
milestones met. As part of this revenue the Directors are currently intending
to recognize in the region of GBP1m reflecting work performed for a long standing
large customer which is undergoing a major organization and personnel change.
As a result of this the Board is aware that there will be a delay in recovering
the monies and is considering whether any provision should be made against
these amounts.
The Board can confirm that the gross cash balance as at 31 March 2015 was
approximately GBP3.8 million (net cash GBP1.2 million).
The Chinese internet market is undergoing rapid change and the Company is
focusing on adapting to changing conditions quickly in order to take advantage
of any new opportunities. The Chinese market conditions remain challenging but
the Board is confident of the long term success of GEONG's business.
