IndigoVision Group PLC ("IndigoVision" or the "Company")
AGM Statement
At IndigoVision's Annual General Meeting being held at 10.00am this morning, Hamish Grossart, Chairman, will make the following statement:
"We reported along with our annual results, released on 29 September 2010, that sales for the first few weeks of the current financial year were comfortably ahead of the corresponding period last year with mixed performance across the regions. This pattern has continued for the first quarter, which is encouraging, and sales for the three months to 31st October 2010 were some one third higher than the corresponding period last year. Whilst this level of growth is most satisfactory, it should be borne in mind that the comparison with last year is flattered by last year's slow first quarter, and therefore this level of growth is not a reliable indicator for the current year as a whole.
First quarter gross margins are expected to be similar to the corresponding period last year, and overheads are expected to be higher, reflecting the planned continued extra spend on product development and engineering. However, given the increased sales, we expect the first quarter's net operating performance, when finalised, to show a healthy improvement over last year."
