The revenue reduction versus the previous year was anticipated, and in line with market expectations, reflecting the successful completion of the US Department of Defence development contract. Diagnostics is now the Company's only reporting segment following the disposal of Services.

The Company is currently progressing registration and import licenses in approximately 30 countries.
