Trading update and equity
funding facility proposal
Trading update
Group revenue (unaudited) for its
financial year ended 31 March 2024 ("FY-24") is expected to be
approximately £1.3 million
comprising approximately £0.4 million from the Insig AI business
and approximately £0.9 million from the legacy Sport in Schools business which was
sold in November 2023.
Frustratingly, this revenue from the
Insig AI business is considerably lower than our previously
communicated target of not less than £1.4 million, and also does
not recognise the progress on certain material contracts and
relationships, which the Board remain optimistic will be secured in
short order. In particular, two licence contracts, with a combined
sales value of £1.0 million, did not close prior to the year end.
Whilst there can be no guarantee that these contracts will be
secured, they are each at a very advanced stage.
Trials with two of the "Big 4" Accounting
Practices
The Company's repository of 220,000 corporate reports, including AI machine
learning, search engine and CHAT GPT capabilities is currently
being trialled by two of the "Big 4" Accounting Practices. To date,
feedback from both practices has been positive, and we are hopeful
one of these could transition to a formal collaboration or similar,
over the coming months.
Equity funding facility proposal
The delayed commercialisation of
certain key pipeline opportunities, has resulted in working capital
of the Group becoming constrained. Accordingly, the
board is considering a £250,000 equity funding
facility proposal from Richard Bernstein,
Executive Chairman of Insig AI. The
proposal is to subscribe for up to 1,250,000 new ordinary shares at
20p a share. This represents a premium
of 17.6% to the
closing share price of 17 pence on 28 March 2024. Funds
would be used for
general working capital purposes, as well as for investment into
sales and marketing. Should the parties enter into this equity
facility, this would be deemed to be an AIM Rule 13 'Related Party
Transaction'.
Richard Bernstein, Insig AI Chairman
commented: "We have several important proposals with strong
prospects of converting into sales, with our machine learning
corporate reporting database attracting significant interest from
major consultancies, including two of the "Big 4" Accounting
Practices. During this period of focus on converting these
prospects into revenues, I am happy to provide equity funding at a
significant premium to the current share price, to provide the team
further time to realise these opportunities."
