AsianLogic Limited ("AsianLogic" or the "Company")
Pre-close Trading Update
AsianLogic Limited, the diversified Asia-Pacific online and land-based gaming
company, today issues a pre-close trading update for the year ended 31 December
2008.
The Board is pleased to announce that AsianLogic's trading since
the announcement on 24 November 2008 has been in line with revised expectations.
As previously announced, the Company expects to report 2008 full year pre-tax
profits of approximately US$7.0m (before tax and adjustment for share-based
awards).
Like many in its sector, the Company trades in a challenging
economic environment where sustaining growth requires continuing innovation in
services provision and product development. While the Company is confident that
top line revenues will be sustained in 2009, the business's required capital
expenditure is likely to be significantly higher than in previous years and as a
result pre-tax profits are unlikely to reach the same level as in 2008. The
Company has initiated a strategic review to determine the most appropriate
manner in which to prioritise shareholder value.
AsianLogic expects to
announce its 2008 full year results during the second half of April 2009.
