Conditional sale of hardware division

Vislink has announced that it has entered into a conditional agreement to sell the assets of Vislink Communication Systems (VCS) for $16m. The transaction is expected to be subject to shareholder approval and to close by end FY16. The deal frees management to focus on the software division, which reported a strong increase in order intake during H116, in contrast to the hardware division where H116 revenues fell by 19%, taking the division and the group into the red. The deal also solves the debt problem, leaving the group substantially debt-free. Net debt had reached £8.8m at end June and in September the group was fully utilising its £15.0m revolving credit facility, potentially breaching bank covenants.
