Wednesday 8th of August 2018

It reported a deficit of $380,000 in the year ended March 31, compared to a deficit of $147,000 a year earlier.

Fee income of $997,000, from $138,000 the year before, was outpaced by operating costs more than doubling to $1.3 million.

We expected to break even in another 18 months so we are ahead of schedule, that gives us flexibility to do things.”
