At this date the amount due from customers was £17.3m, comprising £4.4m invoiced trade receivables and £12.9m of accrued income, down from £5.3m and £13.2m, respectively, as at September 30th.
In the nine month period, accrued income increased by £2.4m as a result of services provided which have not yet been
invoiced and reduced by £2.7m as a result of previously accrued income which has now been invoiced.
Total collections, including previously invoiced amounts, totalled £4.1m in the quarter to December 31st and the cash balance at that date was £6.1m.
"Investors should expect accrued income to continue to represent a relatively large proportion of amounts due from customers as this arises from our efforts to manage our cash flows most effectively," the firm said.
"We are pleased with the continued steady progress and, with a current order book of approximately £14m, is confident of a satisfactory outcome for the full year despite the onset of a less certain economic environment in China."
The share price fell 9.89% to 20.50p by 14:03.
