CONT The app builds on the success of the Autism Alert Card, a joint initiative from the Hampshire Autistic Society and Hampshire Police launched in 2008. The identity card gives people with autism a simple and effective way to alert other people to their condition if faced with a stressful incident or situation involving the police or emergency services. The reverse of the card holds the details of two emergency contacts and the individual's name. The mpro smartphone application will provide people with autism in the Hampshire area with an alternative to the card. Enhanced functionality will also be available including individual strategies to help the person remain calm if they experience anxiety, a document store and optional status forms. This document store, an integral feature of every mpro application that enables smartphone users to hold and access documents on their smartphone, will allow users of the autism app to access their unique Autism Passport at any time. The Passport was launched as part of Hampshire's Autism Alert Programme, along with the Alert Card, and contains crucial background information regarding the person's condition. This includes the impact that their autism has on them, what can be done to help them stay calm and how to engage with the person in what can be difficult and anxious situations.

not good news NW1

James Menzies, CEO of Salamander, commented: "Although a relatively small target, the NW-1 exploration result was disappointing. Exploration in our offshore acreage is now focused on maturing the G4/50 prospect inventory and we eagerly anticipate the start of a minimum 6 well campaign in 2013. The installation and commissioning of the Bravo Platform represents a significant milestone for the Company. We look forward to a material step up in production and cash flow from the field from the development drilling programme which is about to get underway. The NW-1ST appraisal has confirmed the Bualuang field model and provided an important additional data point in the north of the field ahead of the campaign. Elsewhere, in Indonesia, the Ocean General semi-submersible rig is expected to mobilise to our operated North Kutei acreage around the end of this month in order to spud the South Kecapi exploration well, which should start drilling in the first half of December."

Bualuang Bravo Platform Load out and installation of both the Bravo jacket and topsides is now complete and the K-1 heavy lift vessel has left the field. The Bravo Platform has undergone hook up and commissioning and the Mako Jack-up rig will now be mobilised to the Bravo Platform for development drilling operations.

Thai Operational Update Salamander Energy plc provides an update on its exploration and appraisal drilling and production operations in its operated B8/38 license, offshore Gulf of Thailand. NW-1 The B8/38-8 exploration well targeting the Northwest Terrace prospect ("NW-1") has been drilled to TD. The NW-1 well was targeting a small fault terrace structure located north of the Bualuang field. The well reached a TD of 1,792 metres true vertical depth sub-sea ("TVDSS") and a program of wire-line logging, pressure and liquid sampling undertaken. The well encountered thin oil-bearing early Miocene T2 sandstones below 1,725 metres TVDSS. Well-developed sections of both the T5 and T4 mid-Miocene sandstones were found to be water-wet. The initial conclusion is that the sand-rich section of the T5 has led to leakage across the bounding fault at this location. The well is currently being plugged and abandoned as a sub-commercial oil discovery. NW-1 ST With the upcoming development drilling programme on Bualuang field targeting both the undrilled northern area of the field as well as the East Terrace, an appraisal side-track was undertaken from the NW-1 location. The well was drilled to 1,154 metres TVDSS and encountered the top of the main T4 sandstone oil-bearing reservoir at 1,118 meters TVDSS, some 2 metres high to prognosis, confirming the structural and stratigraphic model for the field.

The Group's IMS, issued on 24 July 2012, referred to, inter alia, important opportunities in the pipeline yet to be confirmed for production in the current financial year. Since then, as expected, a number of important orders have been received for delivery in the 2013/14 financial year. However, a number of significant orders which had been expected and planned for production in the second half of the current financial year have continued to be delayed. It will now be too late for these orders to benefit the current financial year, and as a result the Board expects that the financial results of the Group for 2012/13 will be similar to those for 2011/12. The Board remains confident that the delayed orders will be received for shipment in 2013/14 and in delivering the Improvement Plan, which has a target 2013/14 operating profit of in excess of £100m. De La Rue will announce its interim results on 27 November 2012.

TRADING UPDATE De La Rue plc (DLAR.L / DLAR.LN) is today updating the market on trading for the six months to 29 September 2012 and its outlook for the remainder of the current financial year. Performance in the first half of the financial year was in line with our expectations with Group operating profits estimated to be c£33m, up 5% on the 6 months to 24 September 2011 on sales 3% higher at c£245m. Banknote print volumes were up 4% at 2.9bn notes while banknote paper volumes declined 15% to 4,500 tonnes reflecting the more challenging market following the introduction of additional capacity by other manufacturers. We have continued to make good progress with the Improvement Plan and this together with lower cotton prices has offset the effects of the paper volume movement and an adverse Currency "mix" compared with the corresponding period. The Group's order book at 29 September 2012 (for the 12 months ahead) was £248m - the same value as at the start of the financial year.
