Group operations

The principal activities of the consolidated entity during the financial year were, and continue to be:

  • the operation of a retail technology business providing point-of-sale software, pharmaceutical dispensing software, computer hardware and support services to the pharmacy industry;

  • the operation of a transaction processing business providing electronic bill payment, funds transfer and processing services;

  • the provision of accredited training services to the real estate industry through the group's Registered Training Organisation.

Review of operations

The directors are pleased to announce a profit after income tax of $0.41 million (2006 $1.06 million). The 2007 annual financial results show a 9.2% increase in revenues to $17.83 million (2006 $16.33 million) offset by increases in operating and financing costs, giving an operating profit before tax of $0.41 million. EBITDA for the year increased by 34% to $2.79 million compared with $2.09 in 2006.

On a normalised basis, ie excluding legacy litigation costs and other non-recurring items of income and expenditure, earnings before and after tax for 2007 increased by 79% to $968k compared with $540k in 2006.

On 3 November 2006, the Company changed its name to Corum Group Limited. This name change was accompanied by a full corporate re-branding programme including a change of logo and new website.

The Company completed a refinancing of its secured convertible notes in January 2007. A term loan facility for $5.0 million was provided by Westpac Banking Corporation which, together with the Company's own funds, was used to redeem $6.85 million of secured and unsecured convertible notes. A placement of shares was made in February 2007 to raise $2.0 million for further development of the group's businesses.

Westpac also became the clearing bank for the group's Corum eCommerce transactions and has implemented the addition of BPay and Over-the-Counter payment facilities for the Real Estate rental payments business resulting in a more robust business model for that division.

Following the implementation of the additional Westpac payment facilities in early June and the ensuing marketing campaign, there has been significant growth in tenant and agent numbers. It is anticipated that this will continue throughout the current year and result in an additional $1.5 million of revenue for the eCommerce Real Estate division for the 2008 financial year.

Corum Group Limited

(formerly Cosmos Limited)

Commentary on the movements from previous corresponding period

Review of operations (continued)

Corum's investment in the PharmX internet ordering gateway continues to be justified with the addition of further major customers. The business is expected to become profitable in the current financial year.

Corum has invested in the establishment of a Registered Training Organisation known as Corum Training focused on servicing Corum Real Estate clients. This division is already contributing to revenues and profits.

The board has also enhanced its commercial and technical expertise with the appointment of Mr Craig Glendenning as Executive Director. Craig has over 20 years of experience in the electronic payment industry and has been responsible for the analysis and development of Branch Security Networks, Card Management Systems, BPay and, most recently, Visa International's global contactless card and mobile phone payment solutions. The focus of the board will remain on the Company's core businesses in order to derive maximum benefit from its own intellectual property and market share.

Events subsequent to reporting date

On 13 August 2007, Pharmasol Pty Ltd and Amfac Pty Ltd entered into contracts with Medicare Australia for the installation and provision of support services for PBS Online, a government funded initiative to improve the efficiency of the pharmaceutical benefits scheme through use of the internet. These contracts run for a period of approximately two years and will generate ongoing maintenance revenues of approximately $2 million per year.
