However, in a pre-close trading update for the year to March 31st, Digital Barriers said that operating losses will be slightly above the £6.8m forecast as margins have fallen and higher investment.
The firm said that it has seen some delays to sales closures in the US due to federal budget uncertainty and sequestration, which have resulted in a different mix of revenues across the group and therefore lower margins.
Meanwhile, the company said that a growing global sales pipeline has meant a higher investment in demonstration stock and this, along with one-off write downs on fixed assets within acquired businesses, has increased depreciation.
The company said: "With Digital Barriers' unique technology solutions delivering strong, international sales momentum the outlook for the group remains positive. The board remains comfortable with current market expectations for the financial year ending March 2014 thanks to this ongoing strong sales momentum."
