INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE 6 MONTHS ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2007

 

Mastermailer, which sells and distributes the unique single-sheet, laser compatible, self-seal mailer, announces its interim results for the half year ended 31st December 2007

 

 

Turnover was affected by delivery delays in the November & December period, which have since been corrected, and by end February 2008 cumulative turnover outpaced the prior period by a steady margin. We anticipate that this increase in sales will continue so our full year turnover is anticipated to be ahead of last year.                    

 

Profitability has been significantly affected by the increased overheads resulting from additional business development expenditure and the CompanyÕs PLUS listing.. Your Board is currently considering a number of options to reduce costs and provide additional working capital to enable the business to continue its sales and product development and achieve its full potential.

 

A number of modifications were successfully made during the period to the ÒDataguardÓ product at the request of APACS, the bankÕs clearing association. The revised and up-graded product will now be resubmitted for evaluation & approval. Subject to all going well volume manufacturing processes should be finalised, enabling this sales drive to start this year or during 2009

 

As well as continuing to increase Mastermailer sales in the UK, a considerable amount of effort is being made to develop a strong sales base overseas with particular emphasis in the USA, which it is anticipated will make a contribution later in the year.
