Dolphin Integration in cease of payments on july 16, 2018

  • The contribution of equity by investors could not be realized for the time being despite many expressions of interest.
  • DOLPHIN INTEGRATION declares itself in a state of cease of payments leading to the request for opening of a recovery procedure.

Following its announcement of the cease of payments on July 16, DOLPHIN INTEGRATION announces today that it has requested and obtained, with the unanimous support of its Board of Directors, the opening of a receivership procedure with the Commercial Court of Grenoble, which shall examin the request in court hearing on Wednesday, the 18th of July, 2018.

Despite the various solutions contemplated in the very short term in order to fix the cash flow difficulties of the company, DOLPHIN INTEGRATION was unable to raise in time the funds needed to settle all of its operating debts: suppliers, debts fiscal and social, etc.

At the end of the first quarter of the fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2018, the accounts of DOLPHIN INTEGRATION show a decrease of turnover at 1.52 M€, through the loss of order reported previously, instead of the 3.62 M€ of last year. At the same date, the company’s cash position amounted to (29) k€, insufficient to meet short-term debts.

DOLPHIN INTEGRATION expresses its sincere thanks to its customers, suppliers and partners for their support in this difficult time.
In accordance with the applicable regulations, DOLPHIN INTEGRATION will communicate at any new stage of the procedure.
