RNS Number:6185N
SRS Technology Group PLC
16 July 2003
For Immediate Release 16 July 2003
SRS Technology Group Plc (the "Company"or"SRS")
Estimated Profit and Loss Account for the year ended 30 June 2003
and Estimated Net Assets as at 30 June 2003
The Directors wish to announce an estimated loss before tax for the year to 30
June 2003 of approximately #1.59 million compared with a loss before tax of
#1.59 million for the same period last year.
Although sales are substantially ahead of last year both in the UK and
internationally, their growth has been slower than anticipated at the time of
the Company's admission to AIM. Nevertheless the Directors believe in the
potential of the Company's products and the loss reflects the continued
investment in new product development. The existing product range will be
complemented by the launch, later this year, of SRS Lite and Intellec.
SRS Lite will address the needs of the light use market within the healthcare
sector and facilitate access into the elderly consumer market, whilst Intellec,
an upgrade of the SRS 100, will incorporate 'voice announcement'.
To enable the Company to exploit the potential of these new products, further
working capital is required and the Company's brokers, Hoodless Brennan, are in
an advanced stage of arranging a placing.
The early release of the estimated loss figure set out above will enable certain
members of the board to participate in the proposed placing to the extent of
approximately #95,000, the details of which will be sent to shareholders
shortly. The placing will be subject to shareholders approval at a duly
convened extraordinary general meeting.
Set out below is the Directors' estimated profit and loss account for the year
ended 30 June 2003 and estimated net assets at that date.
