Cash flow statements summarize the flows between March 31 and September 30 of fiscal years 2010/2011 and 2009/2010. Between these two dates, working capital needs increased because of the payment of annual maintenance contracts invoiced at the beginning of the calendar year and then ratably recorded as revenues during the rest of the year. These payments were exceptionally high in the first half of 2009/2010 because of the payments of old outstanding debtors, which exceptional situation did not recur in the first half of 2010/2011.
In conclusion, results for this first six-month period don't impair Generix Group's perspectives for the full financial year, i.e. growth of revenues and break-even. Sales activity is rebounding and enables to foresee an improvement of revenues for the upcoming quarters of this fiscal year.
