There has been revenue growth across all of our divisions with the performance in our military business proving particularly strong. Not only is this evidence of the superiority of our technology but it also allows us to maintain our considerable investment in R&D which enables the Group to maintain its market leading position. 'Following our maiden dividend payment in February, it is the Board's intention to maintain a dividend policy of returning to shareholders approximately 25% of net profits at the end of each financial year. 'The much publicised interest in Wimax is creating strong demand for our products which was typified by a recent good customer win in Asia worth several hundred thousand dollars. In the first half of 2007 more than half of all units sold were for Wimax applications. With our contracted order book remaining healthy and the fixed wireless broadband market continuing to grow, the Board views the future prospects of the Company with confidence.'
