2.OPERATIONAL REVIEW

 

The Company has continued to act as a holding company. The Company is currently a minority shareholder in its former subsidiary GeoSolutions Holdings N.V. (“GHNV”) with a current holding of approximately 24%.

 

GHNV carries on its indirect business as a developer and provider of solutions, products and technologies for location based services and LBS-enabled social networks through its 40% holding in the Joint Venture (“JV”) with a major Chinese public media company, Sina Corp (“Sina”) focusing on the Chinese market. The business model is via licensing of intellectual property in terms of software technology and branded trademarks, and revenue generation from services, which generate advertising and subscription revenue.

 

The Company did not have any net sales in the reporting period or in period 1-3/2012.

 

The Company’s other operating income was in 1-3/2013 3 teuros compared 0 teuros in 1-3/2012.

 

Because of the saving measures the total operating expenses were significantly lower in the reporting period compared to the comparison period, decreasing to 96 teuros in 1-3/2013, from 155 teuros in 1-3/2012.

 

The Company´s financial expenses were 177 teuros in 1-3/2013 (0 teuros in 1-3/2012).

 

The Company´s result from 1-3/2013 also includes its proportional share of GHNV`s result, which was -150 teuros (-133 teuros in 1-3/2012).

 

As a result of the above factors, the total result before taxes was -420 teuros in 1-3/2013, compared to -288 teuros in 1-3/2012. Earnings per share for the reporting period were -0.00 euros per share. 

 

 

3. MATERIAL EVENTS IN THE PERIOD

 

The main events in the period 1-3/2013 were as follows:

 

The Company continued to act as a holding company to its approximately 24% shareholding in GHNV.

 

During early 2013 the Company negotiated upon acquiring a new business based on signed term sheet regarding the acquisition of Sinophi Healthcare Limited, a company operating in the field of private specialty healthcare, especially in China. The planned transaction involved acquisition of the entire share capital, shares and votes of Sinophi Healthcare Limited in exchange for newly issued shares of the Company representing 90 % of the Company’s shares and votes after the acquisition.

 

Despite the substantial efforts the negotiations with Sinophi Healthcare Limited terminated on March 2013. As a result of the termination Company commenced negotiations with another acquisition target based on a similar deal structure that was negotiated with Sinophi. The Company also requested additional short term funding from its key investors and received signed confirmation for this short-term funding. This short-term funding enables the Company to complete the acquisition or, in the event of non-completion, orderly wind-down of its business. The Company has received in March 2013 a commitment from an independent advisory group to make a loan and fund the Company with up to €250,000, which arrangement the Board of Directors has accepted. This commitment is from the same independent advisory group that has previously made secured loans to the Company. This investor and the Company are also working with other parties and negotiating a business plan under which the Company would acquire minority holding in another business. If this acquisition would be successful, the investor would defer repayment on the prior secured loans, which would keep the Company solvent and operating. The Company has already received the first tranche of financing in the amount of €25,000 for the Company’s imminent working capital needs. The remaining financing will be funded periodically for the Company’s working capital needs through the remainder of 2013. This financing is secured by the shares of GHNV owned by the Company. The investor is in addition entitled to receive special subscription rights entitling to Company’s shares to the amount agreed in the financing terms and a one-off investment fee payable in Company’s shares to be issued to the investor without charge after Annual General Meeting 2013 approval.

 

The Managing Director and a Member of the Board of Directors Michael Po resigned from Company.

 

 

4. MATERIAL EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD

 

After the reporting period the Company continued to pursue possible options open to it in order continue the operations and continued to negotiate with another acquisition target under which the Company would acquire minority holding in another business. Meanwhile the creditors of the valid loans, matured on April 30,2013, are exercising forbearance, and have not made legal demand due to the Company’s failure to make repayment by the maturity date.

 

The Company received a flagging notice regarding acquisition and/or disposal of the Company’s shares between ANSA McAL Limited, Schroder & Co (Parent company being Schroders Plc) and Schroder Investment Management Limited.

 

The Company postponed the Annual General Meeting to be held in the last week of June 2013.

 

 

5. REVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL POSITION AND THE FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

The key figures summarizing the Company’s financial position and financial results were as follows (teuros unless indicated otherwise):

 

In period 1-3/2013 1-3/2012 2012
       
Net sales       0       0    0
Operating Result    -93    -155 -589
Basic earnings per share (eur)    -0.00
 
   -0.00 -0.00
       
At the end of the period      
       
Total assets     724 971   947
Shareholders’ equity   -1018 663 -606
Total liabilities    1742 308 1553
Cash     23 74    96

 

 

6. SUFFICIENT LIQUIDITY

 

The Company has, during the reporting period, retained sufficient liquidity.

 

The Company received a commitment for additional short-term funding from its key investors enabling the Company to complete the acquisition of a minority holding in another business, or in the event of non-completion, orderly wind-down of its business. Thus the financing provides the funding of the Company through 2013.

 

The Company is pursuing possible options open to it in order continue the operations. Company is working with other parties and negotiating a possible business plan under which the Company would acquire minority holding in another business. If the financing arrangement and the related business plan are not approved by the annual general meeting on 2013, the Company does not have the ability to repay the prior secured loans, and the Company’s GHNV shares which are pledged against these loans would be put up for auction to satisfy the amounts owed by the Company on these loans. If the GHNV shares were able to be sold for more than the total amount owed on the secured loans, then the Company would be entitled to retain any such excess amount. Currently the creditors of the loans are exercising forbearance, and have not made legal demand due to the Company’s failure to make repayment by the maturity date on April 30, 2013.

 

The Company does not have sufficient funds to finance its operations beyond 2013 unless it succeeds to raise additional financing.

 

 

7. OUTLOOK

 

Market Outlook

 

The future business outlook of the Company’s associate company, GHNV, is currently almost completely focused on the China market. In partnership with Sina, China’s third largest internet company, the immediate focus is to leverage the now very large +300M Sina user base to spread the use of the GyPSii platform and applications to as many mobile phone users as possible over the next few years. The JV will combine the IP of GeoSolutions B.V., a 100% owned subsidiary of GHNV, with Sina’s large user base, marketing and sales activities to develop the China market for the Tuding and Weilingdi products and the GyPSii Location Based Services Platform. Seeding this market should give rise to opportunities in 2013 and beyond for income to the JV based on advertising, IP licensing and small to medium business subscriptions. The China market for mobile technology is experiencing extremely rapid growth compared to the rest of the world. This is expected to continue alongside China’s economic expansion well into the decade. This strong growth of mobile technology is a natural pull for the Sina and GyPSii products.

 

Outside of China, GHNV is exploring opportunities to leverage its IP and products in other developing countries with similar user demographics and similarly strong smart phone growth as China. This involves creating other potential partnerships with a business model similar to the JV with Sina.

 

Financial and Business Development Outlook

 

The Company’s currently remaining business comprises solely its 24% minority holding in GHNV. This in turn currently is focused mainly on its 40% holding in the Joint Venture with Sina (“JV”). The current projections indicate that the JV will become profitable over the next few years, however, it may be several years before dividends may flow from the JV to the Company via GHNV. Unless the Company decides to start some new operational activities of its own, it is likely that the Company will not generate any income of its own and will not recognize dividend income from the JV until the JV turns profitable or becomes liquid through merger or acquisition and starts to distribute profits. Therefore, despite minimized operational costs, the Company is likely to make losses through this period. The Company may also sell part or all of its holding in GHNV in the future, which may generate an accounting and distributable profit.

 

 

8. ASSESSMENT OF SIGNIFICANT OPERATIONAL RISKS

 

As a minority shareholder of GHNV the Company does not have the control over the activities of GHNV and is dependent on the actions of the other shareholders of GHNV. The Company’s future value and cash flow is highly dependent on the success of the JV with Sina in China. There is no certainty that these efforts will succeed. As agreed in the Subscription and Shareholders’ Agreement between GHNV and its shareholders, GHNV has decided to issue an option pool to its Board and management of up to 15% of its issued share capital. This may decrease the Company´s current ownership of GHNV down to approximately 21%.

 

The global financial crisis and current global recession have had and may continue to have a negative impact also on the GyPSii business although the business is now almost exclusively focussed on China, which continues to enjoy strong economic growth.

 

There is no certainty of the success regarding the implementation and realisation of the GHNV business plan. According to the business strategy, GHNV is pursuing entrance also to new business segments with competitive situations new to it, or which may be only in the early market phase. Unless GHNV is able to successfully respond to these developments it may significantly impair its operating results affecting consequently to operating results of the Company.

 

A key driver of the GHNV business model is sufficient and sufficiently rapid growth of users of the services, and the speed of adoption of mobile, UGC and location based advertising of which there is no certainty.

 

Since 1997, the Company has not paid dividends and, in the future, there may be restrictions on the ability to distribute dividends. Regarding future dividend payments, there is also uncertainty about the ability of the Company to accrue distributable capital. According to the financial statements of the Company, there was no distributable capital in the latest balance sheet of the Company.

 

The Company´s business plan has been prepared by assuming that the Company can derive long term value from its holding in GHNV but this potential value creation is uncertain. As the financing is secured by a pledge on the shares of GHNV held by the Company and the Company does not expect to have any net income from its business before the maturity of the loan on April 30, 2013 it needs to raise additional external financing to repay the loan despite the additional loan of €250,000 described above in “Material events in the period”. If the Company does not success to raise such external funding, there is a risk that the creditor could by virtue of the pledge demand realization of all or part of the GHNV shares owned by the Company to received funds for repayment of the loan.

 

In addition, the Company will need further external funding to secure sufficient liquidity in the long term and also to enable further investments in GHNV. Should the new financing be delayed or prove to be unavailable, this could cause an insolvency risk and/or further dilution of Company’s holding in GHNV. The Company’s go-forward budget and cash sufficiency estimates have been prepared assuming further decreased cost levels. Should the actual cost levels be higher, the Company would need to raise additional external capital and the availability of this additional capital is uncertain.

 

Trading with the Company’s shares on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki stock exchanges has been suspended since April 3, 2012 on Company’s request. Also a substantial portion of the Company’s shares have not been applied for public trading due to the lack of financial resources to complete the process before sufficient long-term funding has been secured. The Company may not guarantee that the trading with its shares will continue and that the currently unlisted but issued shares will be listed before the long-term funding has been secured. If the unclear situation continues, there is also the risk that the Company’s shares will get de-listed.

 

As reported to the market on 15 August 2012, SoftTech Support Services Ltd, a company domiciled in the United Kingdom and owned by the Company’s ex-CFO Robin Halliday, has filed a claim against GeoSentric Oyj. The amount of the claim is approximately EUR 40,000. The Company has rejected the claim and will take all necessary actions to respond. Should the Company have to pay the full or a substantial amount of the claim, the Company would need to raise additional external capital and the availability of this capital is uncertain.

 

There are significant financial risks related to the Company’s business, competition and industry and it is possible that investors may lose all or a part of their invested capital.

 

Schroders & Co Limited and investor groups led by Horizon Group, have influence on GeoSentric. As a result of the directed share offering closed in November 2011, Jeffrey Crevoiserat, a Board member of the Company, has a substantial holding in the Company. The Company trusts that the regulation and information obligation binding public companies, supported by the compliance with the corporate governance recommendations, together with the continuous external auditing activity maintained by a skilled and reputable auditing firm suffice to pre-empt a misuse of control power.

This investor and the Company are also working with other parties and negotiating a business plan under which the Company would acquire minority holding in another business.

 

13. BOARD AUTHORIZATION
