Trading Update

AB Dynamics plc (AIM:ABDP),  a designer, manufacturer and  supplier of advanced testing systems and measurement products to the global automotive industry, announces a trading update for the year ended 31 August 2014.

On 10 September 2014 the Board announced that results for the year ended 31 August 2014 were likely to be in line with market forecast. The board confirms that sales remain broadly in line with forecast but the profitability on a number of large contracts shipped  in August exceeded the  estimates we made at that time.  Following the normal month end accounting process, it has been shown that the subsequent costs of completion are lower than previously estimated. Accordingly, the board is now pleased to report that profits for the year as a whole are likely to exceed market forecast.
