This reflects the benefits of our strategic decision in 2013 to develop a range of maritime domain awareness system solutions for ports, fisheries and coast guards. During the year SRT has made significant progress across all our business segments, OEM & Module, em-trak, and Systems, delivering high quality products and solutions to customers across the world. Notably, in addition to those projects under contract and recently signed, we have also seen excellent progress with a number of our validated sales pipeline opportunities moving closer to contract and thus revenues and I look forward to updating the market in due course when they convert."
