("Catenae" or the "Company")

 

Temporary Suspension and Update

 

The Company will not be in a position to complete the audit of the financial statements to 30 September 2021 by 31 March 2022 and has therefore requested the temporary suspension of its shares from trading on AIM, until such time as the audit is complete and audited financial statements have been posted to shareholders, pursuant to AIM Rule 19.

 

Accordingly, at the request of the Company, the Company's ordinary shares will be suspended from trading on AIM with effect from 7:30 a.m. on Friday 1 April 2022.  The Company will request a restoration of its listing once the Company's audited report and accounts for the year ended 30 September 2021 have been published. The Directors anticipate that the Company will be in a position to publish the audited report and accounts on or around 29 April 2022. A further announcement will be made in due course.

 

Pursuant to AIM Rule 41, the Company has six months to publish audited accounts for the year ended 30 September 2021 to prevent cancellation of the admission of its ordinary shares to trading on AIM.

 

Hyperneph Software Limited ("Hyperneph")

 

A dispute has arisen between the Company and certain of the minority shareholders of Hyperneph in relation to the acquisition of Hyperneph.  As a result, the Company has not issued the new ordinary shares representing part of the consideration for the acquisition nor has the Company made the final cash instalment of £52,500, being part of the £270,000 consideration referred to in the announcement of 4 May 2021.  A further announcement will be made in due course.

 

Following the acquisition of Hyperneph, the Company is required to produce consolidated audited accounts for the year ended 30 September 2021.

 

Update on Financial Position

 

As at 30 September 2021, the Company had unaudited turnover of £25,002 (2020: £14,948) and an unudited loss of £930,804 (2020: £769,186). The unaudited net assets of the Company are £696,753 (2020: £502,427). As at 30 September 2021, the Company had cash resources of £539,842 (2020: £714,043), as of the date of this announcement the Company has cash resources of approximately £350,000, which the directors believe is sufficient for the Company's current working capital needs.
