Executive Chairman's Statement:
Overview
The Company has performed well during the first six months of this financial
year particularly given the uncertain economic conditions. Turnover in the
period under review was at GBP3.1 million (2011: GBP3.2 million). The small drop in
revenue year on year was predominantly due to lower sales in Resilience
Technology Corp. However, I am pleased to report that the Company has continued
to grow at the operating profit level.
The Company generated an operating profit of GBP187,000 (2011: GBP137,000) and a
loss before taxation (after exceptional and non-recurring items) of GBP90,000
(2011: GBP107,000).
Trading
The core managed services business continues to perform well in both the UK and
the US in this tough economic climate. We are seeing a number of clients take
advantage of our High Availability Virtual Enterprise Network (HAVEN) solution.
We are pleased that both Nexus Management EMEA and Nexus Management Inc
outperformed the corresponding period of last year and we are hopeful that this
trend will continue in the second half of the financial year.
The Company is at an advanced stage of discussions with its largest client
regarding its contract renewal and the Board hopes to conclude these
discussions prior to the Company's financial year end.
Resilience Technology Corp. generated lower revenues in this period compared to
the corresponding period last year, but by controlling costs the operational
profitability was enhanced.
Outlook
Nexus continues to invest in targeted marketing to identify new potential
clients that are a good fit for our services. These companies are typically
small multi-nationals or small multi-office organisations where their staff
travel extensively and their IT needs are more complex.
The Board and Management will continue to focus on growing shareholder value by
a combination of organic and acquisitive growth. The Board is constantly
looking for new operations that are the right mix to integrate into the group.
