Kada Technology Holdings Limited
("Kada" or the "Group")
Trading Update
Kada Technology Holdings Limited (AIM: KADA), the China-based
provider of components and devices for the IT industry and consumer
electronics, announces an update on its current trading.
Kada continues to generate strong revenues despite the slower
rates of growth in the Chinese economy. In spite of this the
Group's distributorship business has held firm and sales from this
division are expected to be substantially ahead of market
forecasts.
However, the Group has not been immune to the impact of the
slowdown in the Chinese consumer electronics industry and the trend
toward tablet computers. Accordingly, Kada has not generated the
sales from the higher-margin solutions business that it had
anticipated. Orders from this side of the business have proved
unpredictable and certain purchases that the board had hoped would
be generated have failed to materialise. It is therefore now
unlikely that the solutions business will have the anticipated
impact on the Group's financial performance for the current year.
In addition, for the aforementioned reasons collection of trade
debtors remains challenging but continues to be a key focus for the
management team.
As announced on 27 September 2012, sales from the Group's taxi
media business are expected to remain small for the rest of the
financial year.
Therefore, despite anticipating increased overall revenues for
the current financial year, the Group's profit before tax is likely
to remain broadly similar to last year. The Group continues to
allocate resources to research and development in the solutions
business in order to increase overall margins.
