Board and advisor changes

We have appointed Singer Capital Markets as broker and financial advisor.

 

Outlook

Despite signs that trading conditions in our chosen markets are improving, like many companies in our position, we remain cautious as to outlook. We have modified our business plan in anticipation of a relatively slow recovery from economic recession. It is unlikely that lengthened sales lead times will improve in the short term, but we have been encouraged by progress in 2010 so far.

 

We are now confident that the restructuring completed in 2009 and customer interest in our solutions will see us delivering significantly improved trading in 2010 from a stronger and more visible financial base, building on the result from the first quarter.

 

 

Further information in respect of the group's performance and position can be found in the Annual Financial Report Announcement for the year ended 31 December 2009, announced today, and the 2009 Annual Financial Report, which is available at www.gresham-computing.com and will be sent to shareholders shortly.
