Expected differences in financial results
Friday 14th of January, 2011: Uscom (ASX code: UCM).
Under listing rule 3.1 in relation to any expected material variations in their financial results (variance of 15% or greater), Uscom Limited today announced that it expected its results for the period ending 31 December 2010 to be lower than the corresponding period ending 31 December 2009, primarily due to the effect of the strong Australian dollar.
The net loss for the period ending 31 December 2010, before the foreign exchange impact, is expected to be $78k lower than the previous corresponding period ending 31 December 2009. This represents a 9% increase in the loss which is well below the material difference guideline of 15%.
Including the impact of the high Australia dollar on the results for the period ending 31 December 2010, the net loss for the period ending 31 December 2010 is expected to be $1,050m ($830k 31 December 2009). This represents a $218k variance which is a 26% change from the corresponding period. The impact from the foreign exchange calculation is $140k which is a significant portion of the variance.
Uscom also announces separately today, the signing of a 2[nd] Distribution partner in the US market and that the company is progressing its plans to create a global distribution channel for Uscom.
Uscom also recently announced that it had reconstituted its board with the appointment of Phil Kiely as Executive Chairman and Yochen Bonitz as a new Director. Uscom has also successfully completed a private placement for $3million which was fully allocated and has embarked on an ambitious plan to create a new global distribution channel and re energise its sales and marketing focus.
