Profits dry up for Riversoft

Management restructuring fails to appease investors...

Shares in network management software company Riversoft have fallen on poor third quarter results.

This is despite the unveiling of a raft of new appointments to strengthen the management team.

The troubled firm announced it had appointed Carl Symon as chairman and ex-AT&T executive Timothy Murray as CEO, replacing current acting CEO and chairman Phil Tee.

Tee, who founded the company, will continue as president and chief technology officer.

Even though headcount has been reduced by a quarter recently, the company said it will have to make more cuts.

In afternoon trading shares in Riversoft were down 3.7 per cent to 13p.

The company, which has resorted to a £3.3m cost-cutting programme, reported losses almost double those it made in the equivalent period last year.

In the three months to 30 September, the firm lost £11.9m on revenues of just £1.3m.
