"The year in which RM listed on the London Stock Exchange was a notably successful one for the Group. There was an excellent performance from RM's mainstream businesses supplying IT solutions to education and we also have made very satisfactory progress in our newer activities that are at the investment stage.
"It is too early in RM's annual business cycle to give an
indication of the likely outcome for the year, particularly in
view of the seasonal nature of the business. However, the Board
believes that growth in turnover will continue in the current
year."
