IT software and services provider Maxima Holdings is continuing with its strategic review but it says that bid talks have ended.
There will not be a sale of the entire business but this does not mean that part of the business will not be sold.
Maxima reported a loss of £9m in the year to May 2011, after a write-down of £8.3m and exceptional charges of £1.2m. Revenues fell from £51m to £45.7m. There was no final dividend. Market conditions are difficult and major orders have been delayed.
Net debt was £10.5m at the end of May 2011. Net assets have fallen to £14.9m.
At 21.5p a share, down 1.5p, Maxima is valued at £5.43m. That is less than half the market value since the strategic review was started. Maxima needs additional cash for its business.
