Consistent with the momentum highlighted at the time of our interim announcement the Group's financial performance continues to improve. The Group remains focused on improving operating margins and cash. Group operating profits are significantly ahead of the same period last year and also ahead of current market expectations. The Group remains net debt free with strong operating cash flow increasing net cash to £18.6m at the year-end, including the £6.2m restricted cash deposit (2009/10: £11.4m).
