Newly listed Selector seeks more cash

The company says the result is in line with expectations. Revenue for the six months to the end of September was $113,000, slightly below forecast.

It also needs establish new markets in South East Asia, North America and Europe, and will use the funds raised from a renounceable cash issue on a 1-for-3 basis at an indicative price of 15 cents to speed up the process.

The rights issue is planned for early next year, and shareholders will also get one free option to with each new share subscribed, exercisable at 50c at the end of February 2003.

Selector has re-forecast the financial performance of the company for the current financial year and now expects revenue of $388,000 to the end of March, which it says is well below original forecasts although it is expecting significant increases in revenue during February and March.
