With three months of the year remaining, we have already surpassed our performance for the whole of 2005 at a revenue, gross profit and net profit level, with continued margin improvement. Our contracted but as yet unfulfilled order book remains healthy giving further confidence of a very successful result for our first full year as a public limited company. 'The fixed wireless broadband market continues to grow and importantly, some 30% of our units sold in the first nine months of the year have been WiMax compliant antennas. Research suggests that there will continue to be strong growth in both our key markets of broadband wireless and radio frequency identification and therefore MTI is well placed for continued profitable growth.'
