Investment summary

Sarantel reported FY11 results: revenues fell 24% y-o-y, although H2 revenues grew 13% q-o-q as key customers resumed ordering; operating loss of £2.9m drove EPS of -0.6p. Sarantel ended the year with net cash of £0.9m. The company recently announced it has agreed a £2m secured loan facility with HSBC Bank. This is a two-year, interest-only facility that can be drawn down in stages, paying interest at the bank's base rate plus 3% pa. The company believes this facility, combined with recent contract wins, should provide sufficient funds to reach profitability.

Industry outlook

The well-publicised iPhone4 antenna issues have focused attention on the impact of the human body on radio performance. GPS penetration is growing in a number of consumer products including digital cameras and smartphones. Other GPS products are showing recovery after a period of weakness.
