  • sales proceeds

  • capital raising

Work on Hand
----- End of picture text -----

SKS Technologies’ successful project delivery track record is now a key selling proposition in winning new projects at a rate that is greater than projects are being completed, building the forward revenue profile.

  • Approximately 90% of Work on Hand will convert to revenue within 12 months with the balance during the following 21 months

  • Work on Hand position has grown post the restructure and has continued to grow at a rapid rate despite the disruption across the economy caused by COVID-19

  • Sufficient working capital to fund this increased level of operations is available, particularly given the $3 million financing facility that was drawn down by only $0.18 million at the end of 3Q21
