  • NTA improved to $1.1 million with the return to profit;

  • Current ratio of 1.02 versus 0.94 in 2017;

  • Cash is lower than 2017 as WIP has increased $1.5 million with 2 risk/reward engagements underway at year end;

  • WIP expected to convert to cash in the first half of 2019;

  • Taxable profits made in Australia, Canada and the USA give rise to the tax provision;

  • We had $1.7 million in available funding year end.

  • 2018 saw a significant turnaround in operating cash flows on the back of our financial performance;

  • the net cash outflow is a result of:

  • progressive repayment of the historical Canadian taxes; and

Outlook

Subject to market conditions, the turn around in performance is expected to be maintained

  • North American business will maintain its momentum in the first half off the back of a strong pipeline;

  • Australia will maintain steady growth, particularly in the Government sector, but there is some softness in the Melbourne market;

  • cost takeout and cost control will continue;

  • Europe will be pursued strategically with the focus on a small number of clients and a low fixed cost base;

  • Asia will be pursued opportunistically with mainframe and digital strategy consulting services;

  • margin pressure continues, particularly in testing. The risk will be managed by growing volume and recruitment controls;

  • Leveraging key partner relationships to deliver revenue growth; real time payment systems are being rolled out in various jurisdictions. Our expertise in banking and real time payments is creating opportunities in Canada and Europe;

  • new services lines gaining traction in Australia; and 41% increase in global MIPS will see opportunities for mainframe cost reduction.
