Results to 30 June 2012 will now show adjusted pre-tax profits in excess of £700,000. Last month the group said it expected to report an adjusted pre-tax profit of around £650,000.
It also achieved revenues ahead of the level previously indicated in its update on 15 June when it said it anticipated revenue of no less than £10.7m. This followed a strong performance both in the UK and overseas.
