Trading Update

Intercede announced on 3 March 2017 that the revenue outturn for the financial year ending 31 March 2017 would be approximately GBP8.0m, with a further GBP2.0m of new orders in the near term pipeline. The Group today confirms that three of these contract orders were received by the end of the trading period. Subject to the completion of the year end audit, revenues for the year ending 31 March 2017 are expected to be between GBP8.2 - 8.4m.

The new orders include two customer wins that relate to the deployment of MyID within a US Government Agency and a US Healthcare group. Intercede continues to work diligently to bring the remainder of the near term pipeline into reported revenue. It is confident that this will occur within the first half of the year to 31 March 2018.

The Group is also pleased to report that gross cash balances for the year are GBP6.9m. This compares to the GBP6.0m forecast which it highlighted in the earlier statement.

Further detail will be provided within Intercede's final results for the year ending 31 March 2017 which are expected to be published during the week commencing 5 June 2017.

Commenting on the financial close to the year, Richard Parris, Chairman and CEO of Intercede, said;

"After the uncertainty created by the initial phase of the new US Administration, we are pleased that business appears to be returning to normal. Importantly, there is progress in securing the remainder of our near term pipeline and encouraging signs of demand within our core markets. Momentum is building and we view the future with considerable confidence".
