Caspian posts 2020 revenue of USD14.3 million, up from USD12.1 million in 2019. Looking ahead, it says: "The financial outlook has improved when compared to the position 12 months ago but not yet to the point where the material uncertainty in respect of going concern highlighted in the 2019 financial statements and the 2020 interim statements has fully receded."

React Group PLC, down 10% at 2.97p, 12-month range 0.90p-3.80p.

Contract maintenance work has performed well, with little or no impact from the pandemic.
