Satsningen fra MadCatz til at tage skiftet fra at producere hardware til også at være spiludgiver, var åbenbart en for stor mundfuld, for firmaet som måtte indkassere et underskud sidste år på hele 11,6 millioner dollars, godt og vel 80 millioner danske kroner - imod et overskud året forinden på 5 millioner dollars.
Inden at firmaet indgav konkursbegæringen, så havde de forsøgt både at sælge dele af firmaet og hele firmaet, men det var ikke lykkedes at komme frem til et tilfredsstillende udfald af salgsforsøget.
Karen McGinnis der er Direktør for MadCatz har udtalt følgende i forbindelse med den triste nyhed:
Regrettably and notwithstanding that for a significant amount of time the Company has been actively pursuing its strategic alternatives, including various near term financing alternatives such as bank financing and equity infusions, as well as potential sales of certain assets of the Company or a sale of the Company in its entirety, the Company has been unable to find a satisfactory solution to its cash liquidity problems.
The Board of Directors and management would like to acknowledge the outstanding efforts of the Company’s employees in support of its business, especially during the time that the Company faced financial difficulties. The Company would also like to thank the vendors and professional service providers who have supported the Company’s efforts during this time.
