Trading Update and Details of Webcast and Interim Results
SRT, the AIM-quoted provider of maritime domain awareness technologies, products and solutions, is pleased to provide an update in respect of the expected results for the six months ended 30 September 2015.
Revenue for the first half of the financial year was 3.6 million, resulting in a loss before tax of 0.7 million and a cash balance of 2.3 million as at 30 September 2015.
As at the period end the Company had an order book of 3.6 million of confirmed orders scheduled for delivery before 31 March 2016.
In addition, the Company expects to receive and deliver new orders during the second half of the financial year. 
Simon Tucker, SRT CEO, said: "As expected, our revenues this year are second half weighted due to market demand timing driven by mandates and projects in the USA, Middle East and Asia. During the second half we expect to fulfil our existing 3.6 million order book, as well as delivering against further expected orders from our day to day core business, mandates in the USA and Asia and existing and new projects from our validated pipeline. This places SRT in an excellent position to achieve a strong second half and thus overall financial performance this year."
