OMG Plc, the Oxford based technology group that provides image analysis products for the entertainment, defence, life science and engineering industries, announced that interim results to March 2011 showed sales of £13.3 million (2010: £14.4 million) and pre-tax loss of £552,000 (2010: £1.2 million profit) - the results include an exceptional charge of £107,000 (2010: £nil).

The company reported that the results comprised Vicon sales of £9.3 million (2010: £10.6 million) and pre-tax profit of £480,000 (2010: £2.7 million), Yotta sales of £3.0 million (2010: £3.1 million) and pre-tax loss of £697,000 (2010: £(991,000)), and 2d3 sales of £1.1 million (2010: £680,000) and pre-tax loss of £79,000 (2010: £(237,000));

Vicon sales and profit were particularly adversely affected by around £1 million due to a delayed project - the project is expected to be delivered in H2. 2d3 UK achieved a pre-tax profit of £251,000 (2010: £(86,000)); gross margin was 49% (2010: 52%), the fall was due to the delayed project; period end net cash was £400,000 (2010: £4.1 million);

A subsidiary, OMG Life, has been formed and is collaborating with Bartle Bogle Hegarty (a leading brand communications agency). OMG's technology will be exploited in the consumer market for wearable digital cameras – cameras that automatically take photographs without user intervention.
