"The Group has continued to make progress in the year to date and the first quarter's results were in line with management's expectations.
The Recycling Division has signed a deal with SA Recycling to manage its acquisition of Newell Industries. This has increased the number of recycling facilities supported by our software by 17 to a total of 70 sites.
The Energy Division has signed a cloud-based deal with a major US renewables company and a significant credit risk service contract with one of the world's best known oil companies.
The Commodities Division signed a significant service deal with a major Chinese trading company to support its global cotton trading business.
We look forward to reporting deal flow and business progress as the Group enters the traditionally busy second quarter. We will provide a further update in the Interim Results.
After nine years as Chairman, I plan to retire from the Board this summer and the process to appoint a new chairman is well advanced. "
