juillet 22, 2005

The company advises that its results to 30 June 2005 will indicate that revenue generated for the year will be approximately $38 million.

Melbourne, Australia – for immediate release, Friday 22nd July, 2005 (ASX:CMP).

The company advises that its results to 30 June 2005 will indicate that revenue generated for the year will be approximately $38 million. EBITDA for the year will be a loss of approximately $2.4 million of which about $1.1 million is non cash foreign exchange losses. The loss after tax will be approximately $3.5 million. The company generated a record for sales in June of in excess of $8 million representing in excess of 20% of revenue generated for the year.
The lower than anticipated earnings for the company was due to a number of factors including lower margins than expected particularly on the June sales and additional costs incurred late in the year due to the hire of new or additional sales and marketing executives, legal and other costs.
The company expects that it will build strongly on its 2005 performance during 2006 delivering revenues of in excess of $44 million. The company announced during the fourth quarter of last financial year the initiatives being taken to strengthen the sales and marketing teams in the US and Europe with appointments of high performance executives. These appointments would indicate that the company is likely to be able to continue to achieve the high revenue growth rates secured over the last 3 years. Also, given other initiatives including cost reduction and elimination of waste, the company expects to operate profitably for 2006.
The company, however, wishes to assess the magnitude of success of these measures as the year progresses and will announce to the market any material change to the above expectations as appropriate. The company is in discussion with its bank regarding the funding of the company’s growth strategy going forward into 2006 in light of the 2005 results.

The company anticipates releasing its audited results during the second half of August 2005.
