We have spent considerable resources developing the Orbit platform over the past two years and we are now starting to see the benefit in terms of fiscal results. The group's results for the Quarter ended August have shown profitable operations for the first time in line with our expectations. We now have the opportunity to aggressively build upon the Orbit platform in the second half of this year with further acquisitions of profitable businesses which we can integrate with Orbit."
