Avanti Screenmedia is focusing on its core business in order to reduce its cash needs.
Avanti has been short of cash for a while and it is looking to raise additional working capital. This is not easy under current market conditions.
Avanti is in talks to sell its non-core operations and concentrate on the leisure, retail and creative services business. If the sale happens it will alleviate the need for additional cash. It is important that management secures a deal to sell the operations.

The shares fell 0.125p to 1.875p, valuing the company at £770,000.
