Resolution of outstanding issues surrounding problematic project

SCISYS PLC ('SCISYS' or the 'Company'; AIM: SSY) - the supplier of bespoke software systems, IT based solutions, web and mobile application development and support services to the Media Broadcast, Space, Government, Defence and Commercial sectors - in its trading update in June 2015, notified the market of an isolated problematic project in its Enterprise Solutions & Defence division which would have an adverse impact on the performance of the Company.

In its interim statement on 24 September 2015, SCISYS stated that constructive progress was being made with the client to resolve the issues.

SCISYS is now pleased to confirm that it has reached an agreement with the client that has brought the project to a mutually satisfactory conclusion. This brings clarity to the uncertain position that prompted the trading update in June. Consequently, the Board is confident that the Company will achieve at least the revised profit guidance published in June. Short-term opportunities to utilise resources previously absorbed by the remedial works on the problem project will govern the extent of any performance improvement in the remainder of the financial year.
