Financial
situation of the MORA Group
After the
financial year 2001 during which the MORA Group in France generated
a very positive cash-flow of K€ 3.400 and improved considerably
its debt ratio (- K€ 3.400 compared to year 2000), it is
still too early to publish definitive figures for the financial
year 2002.
Nonetheless,
we can already indicate that cash-flow will remain very positive
despite an even more difficult period owing to the decrease in
our development and mould activity. Moreover the balancesheet
has significantly improved ; the debt ratio was reduced by K€
4.800 compared with last year.
After a share
capital increase subscribed entirely by individual shareholders
and financial institutions, the bank pool demonstrated its confidence
to the Group by conceding in October 2002 a long and medium term
loan amounting for K€ 1.839.
Currently,
the development and mould activity has recovered a lot and our
orders are 20% higher compared with last year. Injection activity
remains the same.
Owing to administration
measures taken in 2002 with, on one hand, the integration of our
production on 2 injection plants instead of 3, and on the other
hand, the reduction of our debt ratio ( measures generating a
cut in fixed costs amounting for about K€ 1.000 a year),
the current activity should lead to a significant increase of
the cash-flow, along with the continuation of the debt ratio decrease.
