Commenting on the results, Dr Tony Milbourn, Managing Director said:
“I am pleased to say that, after a challenging six months for TTPCom Limited, the business is recovering as we expected. While we anticipate that TTPCom Limited will be profitable taking the year as a whole, TTP Communications plc is unlikely to return to profitability until next year. However this reflects the ongoing investment at ip.access, which has made a particularly encouraging start to the year. Its sales revenues are in line with what we expected at the half year and the business is on track to break even next year. Looking forward, I continue to believe that we will be as successful in 3G as we are in 2/2.5G and that our strategy of getting more technology into more handsets will put the business in a strong position going forward. We are therefore confident that the long-term growth potential of the Company therefore remains unchanged.”
