Just had this from IR

All the best

Thanks for contacting us and apologies for the delay in replying – I was awaiting feedback on this from our CFO, Carmel Warren.

She has commented that the reported Accounts Receivable figure was unusually high because of two very large sales invoices towards the end of September. This has already been reduced significantly by subsequent payments and, with remaining payments due this week, this has resulted in a positive impact on cashflow.

I hope this helps to explain the situation.

Best wishes,

David Hetling

Greeting fellow holders. Morph took a small holding this morning on the back of the decent 6 monthly. GL all

[mfhmfh] 30/11/2016 10:39

sp into the 140s...

Thanks for the comments.
We needed that as cash flow was a bit of an issue. Looking forward to great 2nd half.

Thanks for the comments re: trade debtors.

Below is Finncap's comment on the cashflow:

Cashflow. A large project was invoiced (through partner SAS) at the end of
September, due this month. It left £4.7m working capital outflow in H1 and lifted
trade debtors from £2.8m to £7.0m at September. The resultant £2.6 Free
Cash Outflow and £0.5m dividend reduced net cash from £3.4m at last year
end to £0.1m. We are reassured this is a major, long standing global banking
client which is in good standing and payment is due imminently. With the usual
strong cashflow we expect D4t4 to finish the year with around £6.0m net cash.

Chairman bought 70k @ 142p. Only held £250k so material.

Oregano. I do agree that the receivables could have been explained in the narrative, however, this is just a HY report and managing cash flow is essentially 'business as usual' and hence the reason it was probably not highlighted. Of course as investors a large number of us (me included) like details, however, on a lot of occasions trust has to be put the management especially in small caps. Good luck to all holders moving into 2017 anyway.

[tech] 29/11/2016 16:26

RNS 16.05 today

[oregano] 29/11/2016 16:21

according to Fincap, it is all owed by one tier one bank, so a non issue. but fairly simple to explain that in the statement.

[amencorner] 29/11/2016 16:19

Tech: is there a RNS about a significant director buy, can't see one at the moment; only one I can see is 27th September

[santangello] 29/11/2016 16:15

Director purchasing, as well as me.......lovely confidence catalyst.

[tech] 29/11/2016 16:10

Nice director buy

[amencorner] 29/11/2016 15:25

Oregano, I thought that the increased in receivables to (5211) compared to 2121 in the corresponding period 12 months earlier at least needed some descriptive text from management. Possibly this has contributed to the share price drift today although after a good run that may have happened anyway.

I have the company on my watch list but would like this little item clearing up and explained before I but the buy button.

Any holders got any views?

[oregano] 29/11/2016 15:07

Something to do with the terrible cash generation i expect.

It does management no favours when they ignore a problem issue, rather than explaining it.

[santangello] 29/11/2016 14:45

....expected bailing by the 10% crew, many who no doubt arrived around 3 months ago when there was an influx around 124/130pEach to their own, I know what I'm doing today (wink).

[amencorner] 29/11/2016 14:20

Any views on the increased (4211) compared to 2121 for same period 12 months ago?

[ali47fish] 29/11/2016 14:19

i can see a lot of red as many seem to be selling - is this a bit of profit taking anybody?

[mfhmfh] 29/11/2016 11:40

Pleased with finncap's new target price of 185p.

I also added some more at under 140p.

[norbert colon] 29/11/2016 10:03

Pleased to have picked some more up this morning at sub 140p on top of those added last week.
