RNS Number:5051G BNS Telecom Group plc 29 October 2007 29 October 2007 BNS Telecom Group plc Trading Statement and closure of Network Services Division BNS Telecom Group plc (AIM: BTP, "BNS", "the Group"), one of the leading providers of telecoms services to the UK SME and corporate market, has today published a statement on trading and the outcome of the recently completed strategic review in its Network Services Division. The Group planned to publish its preliminary audited results for the year to 31 July 2007 tomorrow (30 October 2007), but following recent developments with regard to the Network Services Division outlined below, these figures will now be published in mid November. The Group's core Business Reseller Division, including 3g Comms ("3g") acquired during the second half of the financial year ended 31 July 2007, performed well and showed good organic growth in sales and operating profit. However the Network Services Division, which was the subject of a detailed and extensive strategic review initiated on 14 June 2007, was closed down during the last few days, the Board having explored all options for this division. Management accounts show that the Business Reseller Division increased sales from #20.37 million in 2006 to approximately #26 million in 2007, including a revenue contribution of #3.45 million from 3g in the four months under BNS ownership. Operating profits for this enlarged division, before non cash items of goodwill charges and share based payment costs, increased to around #1.60 million from #0.68 million in 2006. Management accounts for the discontinued Network Services Division show revenues of #8.7 million (2006: #5.43 million) and an operating loss of around #6 million (2006: profit #0.06 million). This loss comprised trading losses in the order of #1.5 million, balance sheet write offs (including bad debt provisions) of approximately #3.5 million and non cash costs relating to goodwill and fixed asset impairment of some #1.7 million. After crediting the cash profit of #1.02 million from the sale and lease back of the Group's offices and charging net interest of #0.30 million (2006: #0.07 million), Group statutory pre tax loss, after goodwill charges, is expected to be around #3.7 million (2006: profit #0.61 million). Net Group borrowings at 31 July 2007 amounted to #2.79 million (2006: #0.73 million). Strenuous efforts were made to dispose of the Network Services Division over recent months and whilst there was interest from a number of potential acquirers, the Board concluded that the best option was the rapid closure of the division. Outlook and current trading The core Business Reseller Division has started the new financial year well and is particularly benefiting from the strong order book for the Group's IP telephony products, IP Centrex and BNS Smart Box.
