However, the firm said it was disappointed in the delay to the commercial launch of its AX.1 point-of-care immunoassay system.
"The group has clear visibility on its short and long term commercial, technical and financial objectives and has a solid platform from which to achieve them," said Chairman Gwyn Humphreys.
"The board anticipates substantial progress across its operations in the current financial year."
