Sydney - Tuesday - August 1: (RWE Aust Business News) - Cellnet Group (ASX:CLT) said its sales revenue was up seven per cent to $560 million in FY06 but expects net profit to be down 76pc to $1.6m from the $6.6m profit in FY05. The company gave the update today, saying its audited results will be released on September 8. It said cash flow was a positive $33m in the year compared with a negative $30m in FY05. Cellnet said its reorganisation has established a strong foundation for FY07 but has had a signficant impact on earnings for FY06. This can be attributed to the "process of change" creating a "number of distractions for sales teams" in the second half, margin reduction from high levels of stock writedown and various one-off operating costs associated with the reorganisation. It said management will now focus on growing revenue and improving profitability. Cellnet is reviewing potential acquisition targets and said it can complete these with existing funds or new debt.
