Small caps round-up: Plastics Capital, Vislink, Westminster Group ...

Also covered in this round-up: Sinclair IS Pharma, Orchid, Ark Therapeutics, Ceres Power, Fairpoint Group and Aseana Properties.

Plastics Capital, a niche platics products group, has said it expects its result for the full year to 31 March 2012 will be in line with market expectations, despite sales continuing to be affected by the aftermath of the Thai floods. The firm said profit margins have remained good, cash flow has been strong and its debt continues to reduce in line with expectations. The company was also keen to emphasise strong progress in both the US and China, and said its packaging division has seen an 'encouraging' conclusion to the financial year with fourth quarter sales being the strongest of the financial year.

Vislink has traded profitably and in line with management expectations for the quarter ended March 31st 2012. Group revenue for the quarter was £13.7m (2011: £8.5m), with orders received during the period worth £13.4m (2011: £9.4m). At the end of the period that group has £8.7m cash, slightly lower than £10.1m at the start of the period, partly the result of having paid a deferred consideration of £0.5m.
