Trading Update and Strategic Options
Adamind, a leading global supplier of media handling software in the mobile
messaging, content and convergence services markets, today provides an update on
trading and discussions with potential strategic partners.
Trading update
At the time of the Company's interim results, the Board of Adamind announced a
series of decisive steps undertaken to address the challenging market conditions
faced by the Company. These steps included the appointment of Orna Berry as
Executive Chairperson, and the strengthening of the Company's management team
through the recruitment of CFO Gideon Marks, Strategic Advisor Cindy Andreotti,
and others.
The Company is experiencing significant improvement in its financial performance
in the second half of the year. As of today, Adamind's revenues total around
$5.75m year to date. The Company has additional deals in process and is on track
to achieve revenues for the full year in line with guidance provided at its
interim results.
Significant progress has also been made on the Company's pipeline of new orders
in the second half of 2006, resulting in a total order book of $8 million to
date.
Cash balances at 30 November 2006 amounted to $20.8 million, which represents
approximately 30 pence per Adamind share.
Strategic options
As previously announced, the Board of Adamind has been actively pursuing a range
of alternative proposals with a view to maximising shareholder value. While a
number of parties expressed an interest in exploring a potential
deal, discussions with two third parties in particular have progressed beyond
the preliminary stage.
The Board remains committed to achieving the best possible outcome for
shareholders in the Company, and expects to conclude this process over the
coming weeks. Further announcements will be made as appropriate in due course.
EGM
As noted above, the Company's Executive Chairperson Orna Berry has increased her
involvement with the Company's day to day operations over the latter half of the
year. Accordingly, the audit committee of the Board of directors of the Company
and the Board itself have approved new terms of remuneration for Orna Berry,
which under Israeli Company law are also subject to shareholder approval. A
circular has today been sent to shareholders outlining the proposed terms of
remuneration and convening an Extraordinary General Meeting of the shareholders
of the Company, which will be held at 10 a.m. on 19 January 2007 at the offices
of Corfin Communications, 11th Floor, 78 Cannon Street, London EC4N 6HH. Copies
