HARDWARE TECHNOLOGY
Broadcast, Security and Defence

• Early in 2014 we won a multimillion pound contract in public safety in the UK which will significantly contribute to our operating profit in the financial year 2014.
• The long decision cycles has resulted in some key surveillance hardware opportunities moving into the second half of the financial year.

Outlook
Our markets continue to be challenging, however Vislink enters the second half of 2014 buoyed by a solid order book and pipeline, with the Group set to benefit from:
• New software business performing strongly.
• WGS certification for MSAT.
• Multimillion pound contract in UK public safety, further delivery in H2.
• New OEM with Harmonic agreement with orders placed in H2.
• Move to AIM (January 2014), easing the financial burden of making acquisitions.
2014 is a transitional and transformational year for the Vislink Group, with the acquisition of our software division and the announcement of the strategic agreement with Harmonic Inc. As the proportion of our business coming from higher margin software becomes more significant, the target revenue needed to generate our long noted operating profit target will change. The
Company remains committed to its target operating profit of £8m through both organic growth and bolt-on acquisitions.
The Board remains confident about continuing to trade in line with market expectations and the future prospects for the Group
