OMG plc ('OMG' or 'the Company')
AGM statement
At the Company's Annual General Meeting to be held today, OMG Chairman Anthony
Simonds-Gooding will make the following statement.
'Sales activity has been high with good prospect generation in all markets.
Revenues for the first quarter were slightly down on the same period last year
which had included a large single sale to Sony Pictures Imageworks. Notable
sales of Vicon systems in the current year include a system to Japan for testing
structural resistance to earthquakes, a system for the National Gymnastics
Centre at Loughborough University for biomechanical analysis on elite gymnasts
and a system to the animation group founded by world-famous Norwegian filmmaker
and puppeteer, Ivo Caprino.
For a variety of reasons, including a recent change of our Japanese distributor
for Life Sciences and Engineering markets, sales are expected to be weighted
towards the second half of the year.
Our preliminary statement of results for the year ended 30 September 2003
anticipated a continuing policy of careful cost control, with increased internal
investment in both new and core business. Accordingly, the Company has started
to increase resources allocated to product development activities to meet the
schedule of new product releases planned over the next two years. Active
exploration of opportunities for growth through acquisition continues.'
