Revenue surged to £84,691 during the period compared to £40,915 the same time a year earlier.

Looking ahead ViaLogy said it expects full year earnings to be in line with market expectations.

The group explained that most of the income from its three main contracts will be included in its full year account.

"At that time we expect to announce financial results consistent with our three year business plan and in line with market expectations," it said in a company statement.

Cash and equivalents stood at £1.15m compared to £455,627 before.
