Proposed De-Listing from AIM
The Board has resolved that on or around 28 May 2009, a circular will be posted to the Company's shareholders to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM"), at which a resolution will be proposed to approve the cancellation of the admission of the Company's ordinary shares to trading on AIM. Leadcom's ordinary shares and debentures will continue to be traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE").
In making the decision to propose to the Company's shareholders to cancel the admission of the Company's ordinary shares to trading on AIM, the Directors have considered the current low volumes of trading in the Ordinary Shares on AIM as well as the ongoing expense of maintaining a quotation on both AIM and TASE, as maintaining a quotation on AIM gives rise to significant expenses incurred by the Company, including ongoing AIM fees, Nominated Adviser (NOMAD) fees, CREST fees, share register fees and increased legal and accounting fees. In addition, the listing of the Company's shares on both AIM and TASE increases the complexity of the Company's regulatory obligations which consumes management time and exposes the Company to conflicting regulatory provisions.
The Company will take measures in order facilitate the continued trading of the Ordinary Shares currently quoted on AIM, following the cancellation. The Company has reached an agreement with a leading Israeli financial institution, which has agreed to open brokerage accounts for non-Israeli shareholders, and assist in facilitating the trading of the Leadcom shares currently held by UK holders on TASE. Furthermore, the Company will publish an extract of the Company's quarterly financial reports in English, as well as its principal announcements, on its website, for two years following the cancellation.
Arik Alcalay, Chief Executive Officer
The Company's results for the first quarter of 2009 did not meet the financial goals we expected to achieve, reflecting the continuing impact of the global economic crisis and the challenging business climate that we began to encounter in the second half of 2008.
Since the end of 2008, we have started to undertake corrective actions to adjust the Company's business focus and its cost structure to the market changes. Despite these measures, we still experienced more than expected weakness in some of our regions and therefore are continuing to take action to reduce our expense base and improve our financial results
Looking forward, our pipeline for the second half of 2009 is showing some initial encouraging signs that our customers are planning to resume their investments in infrastructure and network deployments, which should have positive consequences on the development of our business.
As mentioned in this press release we have also decided to request approval from our shareholders for the cancellation of the admission to trading on AIM of the Ordinary Shares. We believe that this will reduce significant direct and indirect expenses relating to this listing. We will continue to maintain our listing on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. We believe that the TASE gives adequate access to capital, both public and private, and also provides investors with an alternative platform for liquidity
Financial Results
Revenues for the first quarter of 2009 were US$35.0 million, a 37% decrease from US$55.7 million for the first quarter of 2008. The decrease is mainly attributed to decreased business activity in Africa and the Middle East (decrease of US$10.1 million), India (decrease of US$7.3 million) and the Americas (decrease of US$3.4 million), as a result of the global economic crisis and the challenging business climate. The reduction in revenues also reflects the Company's decision in 2008 to exit from less profitable business activities.
Adjusted Gross Profit for the first quarter of 2009 was US$6.1 million (17% of revenues) compared to US$11.8 million (21% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2008. The decrease in the adjusted gross profit is mainly due to the decrease in revenues as explained above, and a write-off of inventory in one of our subsidiaries.
Selling and marketing expensesfor the first quarter of 2009 were US$1.2 million (3% of revenues) compared to US$2.5 million (4% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2008. The decrease derived mainly from the decrease in the scope of activity and the Company's policy to reduce selling and marketing expenses.
General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2009 were US$8.6 million compared to US$8.8 million in the first quarter of 2008. This decrease is mainly the result of the Company's policy to reduce its current costs, including dismissal of employees, and the impact of the strengthening of the US Dollar compared to the Israeli Shekel, resulting in a decrease in costs associated with the Company's Israeli headquarters. The general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2009 include a bad debt provision related to customers in India amounting to US$0.9 million.
Adjusted operating loss for the first quarter of 2009 was US$3.3 million compared to a profit of US$1.0million for the first quarter of 2008. The decrease in the adjusted operating loss is due mainly to the decrease in revenues and a bad debt provision related to customers in India as mentioned above.
Net Finance expensesfor the first quarter of 2009 were US$1.9 million compared to US$0.9 million in the first quarter of 2008. The increase derived from the higher utilization of bank credit facilities compared to the first quarter of 2008, and the strengthening of the US Dollar which resulted in translation differences relating to the Company's foreign subsidiaries. The increase was partially offset by the currency revaluation effect of the debentures which are not hedged in addition to gains as a resulting from the buy back of Company debentures.
Net lossfor the first quarter of 2009 was US$5.9 million compared to a net loss of US$1.3 million in the first quarter of 2008.
Cash flowused in continuing operating activities for the first quarter of 2009 was negative, amounting to US$6.3 million, compared to a positive cash flow of US$0.7 million in the first quarter of 2008. The negative cash flow in the first quarter of 2009 was mainly the result of an increase in the number of customer credit days due to the impact of the global financial crisis. The negative cash flow is attributable, in addition, to a drop in the level of factoring performed by the Company due to a contraction in non-bank credit sources. The reduction in the level of factoring is a trend that began in 2008 and continued also in the first quarter of 2009.
Equity as at March 31, 2009 was US$15.6 million, equivalent to 12% of the balance sheet total, compared to 15% on December 31, 2008. The decrease in equity is mainly attributable to a loss of US$5.9 million in the first quarter of 2009, an increase in negative capital reserves from translation differences totaling US$0.6 million as a result of the weakening of subsidiaries' functional currency against the Company's functional currency (mainly the Indian Rupee at a rate of 3% and the Euro at a rate of 4%, against the US Dollar).
Accounts receivableas at March 31, 2009 was US$ 75.9 million, compared to US$87.7 million as at December 31, 2008. The decrease is mainly attributable to a decrease in the scope of activity and continued collection from customers during the first quarter of 2009
Inventory as at March 31, 2009 was US$9 million, compared to US$11.3 million as at December 31, 2008. This decrease is mainly due to a write-off of inventory in one of theCompany's subsidiaries.
The Non Current Debentures balance as at March 31, 2009 was US$19.4 million, compared to US$26 million as of December 31, 2008. The decrease is mainly attributable to the Company's repayment of the first series installment during the first quarter of 2009, and to the buyback of debentures by the Company.
Net Debt
The net debt balance as at March 31, 2009 was $46.8 million, compared to $44.3 million as at December 31, 2008. The company has utilized 83% of its credit facility as at March 31, 2009. The company had cash and cash equivalents of $13.4 million as at March 31, 2009.
Credit facilities and covenants
As stated in the Company's financial reports for full year 2008, the Company concluded an arrangement concerning the Company's credit lines and facilities with certain leading Israeli banks and a foreign bank (the "Banks"), according to which the Company is obliged to comply with certain financial covenants. Based on first quarter end testing dates, the Company is not complying with the covenant specifying the minimum tangible equity, as well as with the financial covenant specifying the minimum required ratio between the Company's tangible equity and its balance sheet total (excluding its intangible assets).
The Company has held initial negotiations with the Banks in order to amend said covenants or alternatively secure adequate waivers.
Although the Company believes it will reach a satisfactory agreement with the Banks, which would prevent the immediate repayment of the Company's outstanding balance and allow the Company to continue its operations in their current form, neither the outcome nor the length of the above negotiations can be predicted with any certainty. If the Company is not successful in reaching a satisfactory agreement with the Banks, there is a material concern regarding Company's ability to continue operations in their current form.
Forecasted cash flow
In accordance to section 10(b)(13) of the Israeli Securities Law Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Statements) - 1970, the Company should present forecasted cash flow for the next two years. Attached hereinafter is the Company's forecasted cash flow report from Q2 2009 up to and including Q1 2011 (the "Report").
The Company based its preparation of the Report on its sales forecast for the two years starting Q2 2009 up to and including Q1 2011, which reflects a decrease in the Company's sales volume, as a result of the global economic crisis. Such forecasted decrease in the Company's turnover would cause a decrease in the Company's EBITDA in 2009, compared to 2008. Nevertheless, the cash flow generated from Company's ongoing operations in 2009 is expected to be positive, mainly due to the collection of the account receivables balance that was accrued in the Company's balance sheet in 2008, and to the decrease in Company's expenditures basis in 2009.
The result of the aforesaid decrease will be reflected in the reduction of the Company's working capital balances (account receivables, account payables and inventory). In addition, the cash flow generated from ongoing operations in 2010 is expected to be positive, as a result of the increase in the forecasted EBITDA for the year 2010 compared to 2009, and an immaterial increase in the Company's working capital balances during such period.
It should be emphasized, that the aforementioned sales forecasts are not based, in their greater part, on binding orders from customers, but on assumptions and estimations which are based on negotiations between the Company and its customers, on the one hand, and on management's estimation regarding the scope of future incoming orders, on the other hand.
Additional Assumptions in the Preparation of the Report:
A. Company's Credit Facilities
1. Maintaining a policy of utilizing the majority of the Company's credit lines by the Israeli parent company, while sustaining a low level of credit utilization by the Company's subsidiaries. Receiving the banks consent to revise the financial covenants to such the Company will be able to comply with and/or securing adequate temporary waivers from them.
2. Immaterial decrease of the Company's outstanding balance owed to the banks on an ongoing basis, under the assumption of concluding an arrangement with the banks, as mentioned hereinabove.
B. Suppliers
The Company assumes that no material deviation in the payment terms currently existing vis-à-vis its main suppliers is expected.
C. Trade Receivables
The Company does not anticipate an additional extension in DSO's (days sales outstanding) vis-à-vis its customers.
D. Quality of Trade Receivables and Doubtful Debts
The Company does not predict a significant change in its customers' quality or its ability to collect their debts to the Company. The company will continue to insure itself, as possible, against its customers' risks.
E. Factoring
The Company expects a decrease of 35% in the scope of its factoring activities, compared to their current level.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION:
Breaching financial covenants as of 31 March 2009
As part of the Company's agreements with certain leading Israeli banks and a foreign bank (hereafter - "the Banks") for the provision of credit facilities to finance the Company's ongoing operations, the Company reached a new arrangement with the Banks, during February and March of 2009, which included the Company's provision of letters of undertaking to the Banks (hereafter - "the Letters of Undertaking"). Under such Letters of Undertaking, the Company undertook to adhere to certain new financial covenants (the new financial covenants updated previous financial covenants that were valid until 31 December 2008 and were breached since 31 December 2007), the breach of which entitles the Banks to demand the immediate repayment of the outstanding balance owed to them by the Company. Additionally, the Company created a floating charge on its assets in favor of the Banks.
As of 31 March 2009, the Company is in breach of part of the financial covenants, which entitles the Banks to demand the immediate repayment of the outstanding balance owed to them.
The Company carried out initial discussions with the Banks in order to receive their consent to revise the financial covenants to such the Company will be able to comply with and/or to receive adequate waivers from them. As a result of the initial discussions with the banks the Company's management estimates that the Bank will provide the aforesaid consent, which would prevent the immediate repayment of the Company's outstanding balance owed to the Banks and allow the Company to continue its operations in their current form. Notwithstanding, there is no certainty that the Banks aforesaid consent shall be received. Whether such consent will not be received, there are significant doubts regarding the Company's ability to continue its operations in its current form. The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to the realization value, which may be required in case the aforesaid Banks' consent shall not be received.
