Write-down of Historical Investment
Write-down of Historical Investment After receiving financial advice, Ayima’s board has today taken the decision to write-down the value of an historical investment. In 2015, Ayima invested in the development of Tootsa MacGinty Limited, an ecommerce start-up, and has contributed marketing and administrative support each year since. However, recent trading and a general downturn in the retail sector has indicated that the business is no longer a viable investment. The balance-sheet value of the investment before the write-down was SEK 5,930,801. Ayima’s board has decided that the value of the investment and loan account should be reduced to zero as of 31 December 2019. The resulting balance sheet adjustment will contribute an extraordinary item to the Profit and Loss statement for Q4/FY 2019 and result in a worsening of the predicted after-tax loss. The investment in Tootsa MacGinty Limited was historical and in no way affects current trading or performance. Ayima Group AB currently holds no other investments in 3[rd] party companies. Current expectations for trading performance are still in line with the notification to the market issued on 23 October, 2019. It is expected that the Q4 result will show a decline from the previous quarter, however Ayima’s exceptionally strong sales performance will drive a turnaround and eventual return to profitability in Q1-Q2, 2020.
