Disposal of business and certain assets of Coms telecoms operations

Coms (AIM: COMS) announces that on 23 May 2015 it exchanged contracts to dispose of the business and certain assets of its telecoms operations ("Telecoms") to Timico Limited ("Timico") (the "Disposal") for an initial consideration of £2.5 million payable in cash. Completion of the Disposal is expected to take place on 31 May 2015 ("Completion"). Following the Disposal the Group will comprise its infrastructure business, Redstone and Darkside Studios.

The consideration for the Disposal comprises an initial cash payment of £2.5 million and deferred consideration of up to a further £1 million, payable in cash, based on the trading performance of Telecoms in the period to 30 November 2015. Coms will retain the benefit of its trade debtors. Timico will assume responsibility for all key supplier arrangements in respect of trading following Completion but Coms will retain certain liabilities, including the two leasehold properties occupied by Telecoms. Under a transitional services agreement, Coms is required to retain the Stokenchurch offices for up to six months post Completion.

The Board of Coms plc believes that the Disposal is in the best interests of the Company and all stakeholders. In particular, the Telecoms customers will benefit from the extensive product delivery capability that Timico can offer. Coms management will assist in the handover process to ensure a smooth transition to the new owners is achieved.

Coms (AIM: COMS), is pleased to announce that Charles Stanley Securities has placed, on the Company's behalf, 200,000,000 new ordinary shares at 0.5 pence per share, with certain institutional and other investors to raise £1 million.

The Directors recognise the importance of pre-emption rights to Shareholders and consequently 216,278,701 new ordinary shares will be offered to existing Shareholders at 0.5 pence per share by way of the Open Offer, to raise up to £1.08 million. The Open Offer will provide Qualifying Shareholders with an opportunity to participate in the Capital Raising by both subscribing for their respective basic entitlements and by subscribing for additional new Ordinary Shares under the Excess Application Facility, subject to availability. The Open Offer is not being underwritten.

In the event that the Capital Raising is fully subscribed, the Company will receive gross proceeds of £2.08 million.

Further details of the Placing & Open Offer are set out below.

Background to the Capital Raising and use of proceeds

On 26 May the Company announced that it had exchanged contracts to dispose of the business and certain assets of Telecoms to Timico Limited for an initial consideration of £2.5 million payable in cash and deferred consideration of up to a further £1 million, payable in cash, based on the trading performance of Telecoms in the period to 30 November 2015. Completion of the Disposal is expected to take place on 31 May 2015.

Telecoms consisted of a number of acquisitions that had never been fully integrated. Despite attempts to restructure the business, trading losses continued and the overhead structure was such that the Board concluded it would take significant further investment and considerable management focus for the business to achieve profitability.

The proceeds of the Disposal will be applied to reduce the Group's liabilities and to reduce the Group's overdraft facility from the current £3 million level to below £2 million.

Following the Disposal the Group will comprise Redstone and Darkside Studios.

The Disposal will remove loss making businesses and enable the management team to focus on growing our core infrastructure business, Redstone. The Board plans to develop Redstone's leading Smart Buildings product offering and expand further its successful managed services business. The Board intends to capitalise on accelerating growth in the construction industry and, in particular, the fast growing Smart Buildings sector where Redstone has already delivered strong referenceable solutions to a number of landmark projects. The potential in these markets as they go through both structural and technological change is enormous. Redstone is well positioned to service this opportunity and our focus is to develop this capability through a combination of product development, organic growth and acquisitions.

The proceeds of the Capital Raising will be used to pursue this strategy and to augment working capital.

Wonderful - not!

2 Open Offer Shares for every 9 Existing Ordinary Shares

StockMarketWire.com
Coms has raised £1.08m, gross, through an open offer of 216,278,701 new ordinary shares at 0.5 pence per share.

The open offer was announced on 29 May as part of a proposed capital raising to raise gross proceeds of up to £2.08m.

The company said it received valid acceptances in respect of 292,837,453 open offer shares - approximately 135% of the shares offered.

All eligible applications will be allocated their pre-emption entitlements. All eligible applications under the excess application facility will be scaled back pro rata to the number of excess shares applied for and refund payments for all unallocated excess applications will be made as soon as reasonably practical.

Non-executive chairman Frank Beechinor said: "We are very appreciative of the strong support for the open offer from our shareholders and are pleased that the full amount of £1.08 million will be received by the company."

Still falling back.

StockMarketWire.com
Coms has appointed Mark Braund as chief executive and Spencer Dredge as chief financial officer.

Braund has been CEO of Interquest Group for 4 years and has extensive experience in senior roles in the UK and North America. He has been a non-executive director of Coms since 9 March. He will assume his full time CEO duties once he has completed an orderly handover of his responsibilities at Interquest.

Dredge has been an interim finance director at Coms since March and has extensive turnaround experience, particularly with businesses in the telecoms, IT services and software sectors.

Chairman Frank Beechinor said: "Since the departure of the previous CEO in March our priority has been to appoint an experienced senior executive management team. We are delighted that Mark has agreed to take the role of chief executive at Coms. Since joining the board as a non-executive director earlier this year, Mark has made a valuable contribution and I am certain that Coms and its shareholders will greatly benefit from Mark's experience in his new full time executive role.

"We are also delighted to announce the appointment of Spencer as CFO. Spencer has extensive experience as an accountant in both public and private companies. In the time he has spent with the group since March of this year has gained an in-depth understanding of the operations of Coms and demonstrated his capacity for hard work."

Final Results

Financial results
· Revenue grew 228% to £46.0m (2014: £14.0m) reflecting acquisitions and a full year of contribution from Redstone

· The Group generated a loss for the year of £15.1m (2014: profit of £1.0m) due largely to significant impairments of c.£10m relating to the Telephony Services division

· Adjusted LBITDA* was £3.5m (2014: EBITDA of £1.0m)

· Basic loss per share of 1.57p (2014: earnings per share of 0.24p)

· Year-end net overdraft of £0.4m (2014: net cash of £1.0m)

· Net cash outflow of £1.4m (2014: inflow of £0.8m) reflecting significant investments and operating losses funded through the Group's overdraft and a placing in February 2014 to raise £7.9m net of expenses.

* Before net finance costs, depreciation, amortisation, integration costs and transactional items, impairment charge and share based payments.

Operating performance
· All trading losses were generated by the Telephony Services division which despite restructuring attempts continued to incur significant losses.

· The infrastructure and overhead base of the Telephony Services division would have required significant further investment as well as management focus to achieve profitability. The Board did not think it wise to continue with such investment which is why the trade and assets of the Telephony Services division were sold after the year end.

· Redstone and Darkside Studios traded profitably but suffered from the uncertainty created by the poor trading in the Telephony Services division.

Post year end developments

· Dave Breith resigned as CEO in March 2015 and the Non-Executive Directors have since been responsible for the running of the business.

· Mark Braund and Guy van Zwanenberg were appointed as Non-Executive Directors in March 2015.

· The loss making Telephony Services business was sold to Timico Limited for an initial cash consideration of £2.5m on 31 May 2015. Following the disposal the Group can focus on developing Redstone, with its leading infrastructure, Smart Buildings and IT Managed Services business.

· A successful placing and open offer was undertaken in June 2015 to raise £2.0m net of expenses to provide additional working capital.

· On 14 July the Company announced the proposed appointment of Mark Braund and Spencer Dredge as CEO and CFO.
