TRADING STATEMENT
SCISYS PLC, AIM stock code: SSY, ('SCISYS' or the 'Company') - the supplier of bespoke software systems, IT based solutions and support services to the Media Broadcast, Space, Government & Defence, and Environment sectors is pleased to release the following trading statement ahead of its AGM to be held at 12.00 noon today.
SCISYS opened the year with a solid order book, which has further improved in the opening months of 2013. The Directors believe that the Company is on track to meet full year guidance, with trading expected to follow the pattern of previous years in which the second half of the year has typically delivered a stronger performance than the first.
The Company has a strong balance sheet and continues to be cash generative from operations. As such, SCISYS remains well placed to consider further acquisition opportunities and, subject to continued satisfactory trading, intends to maintain a progressive dividend policy.
