'Although trading conditions remain subdued overall, sales and profits are on
budget for the first four months of 2003, and cash generation remains strong.
Both the Broadcast Systems and Photographic businesses have recently launched a
number of successful new products and the manufacturing restructuring is
progressing in line with expectations.



'The integration of the new acquisitions is underway with OConnor already making
sales through Vitec's European network and Radamec Broadcast Systems relocating
its premises during June.'
