Stratech profit flat at $1.2mln

iFerret's Innovation Award at ATC Global 2010 makes it a key driver to company's future growth.

Singapore Exchange mainboard-listed Stratech Systems Limited announced a net profit of S$1.2 million on a revenue of S$13.9 million for the financial year ended 31 March 2010 (FY2010) comparable to that of S$1.2 million on a revenue of S$15.2 million for the previous financial year (FY2009), according to a Stratech report.

The Group registered a gross profit of S$11.2 million, a 12 percent growth from the S$10.0 million recorded for FY2009.

New business in FY2010 accounted for S$3.8 million (FY2009: S$7.3 million) whilst existing contracts contributed S$10.1 million (FY2009: S$7.9 million) to the revenue. International sales contributed 32 percent (FY2009: 35 percent) of total revenue.

Salaries and related costs decreased from S$5.6 million to S$4.6 million, that is, by 17 percent compared to FY2009 on account of lower headcount and higher product development efforts. Other operating expenses decreased by 21 percent from S$5.0 million to S$3.9 million.

Net cash flow from operating activities contributed S$4.1 million to the Group's cash and bank balances in FY2010 compared to S$0.1 million used in operating activities in FY2009.
