Interim Results
for the six months ended
30th September 1997
Chairman's Statement
The results for the six months ending 30th September 1997 show
an improvement on the interim figures for last year.
Group turnover increased by 11% to #9.379M (1996 #8.392M) and
pre-tax profits were more than doubled at #0.319M (1996
#0.117M). An operating profit of #0.102M compares with the
operating loss posted for the earlier period.
Earnings per share show a 45% rise to 1.96p (1996 1.35p) on a
virtually unchanged number of shares. A reduction in net cash
reserves at the interim stage reflects principally cash flow
timing.
The Group's semiconductor businesses turned in improved
results on the back of steady gains in product sales.
Expenditure in support of product marketing and new products
development reached expected higher levels during the period.
The Traffic business began to see benefits anticipated by the
re-organisation of its operations. The equipment markets
remained very difficult and a delay was encountered in the
contribution by systems contracts, but the operating loss,
usual for this business in the first half, was broadly in-line
with projections for the period.
Overall, the interim results are very much in accordance with
my expectations when I indicated the outlook for the current
year in my year end Statement.
I am encouraged by the positive progress your Company is
making towards its future growth, and I remain optimistic that
the results for the present year will post a further advance.
