Also they have suspended all pay increases for their employees.
“We expect these cost saving initiatives to significantly reduce our cash burn in 2009,” said Live Current Chairman and CEO Geoff Hampson. “We will continue to seek opportunities to scale our cost structure to meet the challenging global economic times and to help us to achieve our goal of having our business units operate at a profit or, at the least, cash flow break even. We expect to continue to invest in people and processes that will improve the operational performance of our businesses.”
Live current have now announced the sale of one of their non-core domains to be at the value of $400,000. Andrew Allemann of DomainNameWire thinks that the domain sold is Malaysia.com as Malaysia.com is the only domain who’s whois info has changed since the announcement of the sale.
Live Current will continue to market several additional non-core domain names with the aim of generating enough working capital to meet its obligations through the end of 2009.
“The sale of our ancillary domain names makes a lot of sense as a non-dilutive form of financing, especially when the Company’s stock is trading well below the break up value of its assets,” states Hampson. “Our goal is to continue to invest in our perfume and cricket business units while ensuring we have adequate cash resources to see us through the next 12 months.”
