Avisen’s former executive chairman Ian Smith has sold all or most of his holding in the company following his resignation from the board.
Smith owned 2.39m shares, equivalent to 10.1% in Avisen and he no longer holds a notifiable interest in the company.
The selling knocked the share price at the end of last week but it has recovered 1.25p to 4.875p. That values Avisen at £11m.
Last week, the software consultancy reported a loss of £3.07m on revenues of £7.17m in the year to January 2010. The South African business lost £318,000 and this has been sold.
The figures do not include Xploite because the merger with the company, where Ian Smith was boss, happened after January.
Growth Equities & Company Research believes that Avisen can make a profit of £1.4m this year.
Avisen is hopeful that in September it will receive £2.15m of deferred consideration that it is owed for Xploite’s sale of its Anix business in May 2009. Xploite had net cash so Avisen is currently cash positive.
