Trading update and outlook
In summary this initial period has progressed as anticipated, with gross margins continuing at more or less the same levels as last year, operating costs tracking expectations and overall operating results being in line with our internal forecasts. Pleasingly the order book remained strong throughout the period and consequently the board currently remains confident of meeting market expectations for both the first half and full year trading periods.
Investment in product development activities continued and cash had increased on that held at 31st March 2016 prior to payments made following the completion of the Sicomm acquisition on 26 July 2016.
There have been no other material events or transactions since 1 April 2016.
