("Staffline" or "the Group")
Company Update
Further to this morning's announcement, the Company can confirm
that this morning concerns were brought to the attention of the
Board relating to invoicing and payroll practices within the
Recruitment division.
Given the nature of the allegations, the preliminary results
will not be published until the matters have been fully
investigated. The Board is confident that its policies in relation
to these matters are appropriate, particularly given that these
practices have been the subject of prior audits. However, if the
allegations are substantiated this could have a material impact on
the Group and its profitability and until further investigation has
been undertaken the Board cannot assess the potential
materiality.
Other than that noted above, the financial position of the
Company is unchanged, as reported on 8 January the Company expects
to report net debt of cGBP63m for the year ended 31 December 2018
and can also report that in July 2018 the Company refinanced its
GBP150m lending facilities.
Pending further investigation of these matters, including the
impact on the Company's profitability and existing forecasts, the
Company has requested suspension of the Company's shares from
trading on AIM and shareholders will be updated in due course.
