Interim Management Statement
This statement relates to the period from 1 April 2013 to 30 July 2013 and embraces the unaudited results for the Group's opening trading quarter for the financial year ending 31 March 2014.
Trading update
Group operating results for the opening quarter are in line with internal expectations and the Board repeats the guidance provided at the time of the Final Results announcement in June 2013 for further firm progress in profitability during the current financial year.
The Group's industrial SATA flash memory controller is gaining increasing acceptance across target storage markets whilst a number of wireless customers are now at various stages of product development or market introduction using the Group's baseband and RF chip-set solutions.
Gross margins and operational costs have remained stable through the period leading to an improved cash position and the repayment of all bank loans.
The Company was notified that, following a public inquiry, its planning appeal relating to a residential development on excess land at its Oval Park headquarters has been rejected. A review of the potential next steps will take place over the coming months.
There have been no other material events or transactions since 1 April 2013.
