Update: A frustrating summer

Omega’s H115 trading statement reports a delay in Visitect. There was a 2% rise in revenues in H1 to £5.69m despite a -£0.25m currency effect, without which the increase would have been 6.2%. Normalised H1 PBT was £0.56m, up 30%. Cash was not disclosed but capitalised costs may be more than expected over FY15. Edison has revised its FY15 and FY16 forecasts to reflect the available H1 figures and Visitect development schedule: a further Kenyan trial is planned for the first half of 2015. Allergy iSYS development is proceeding steadily with 16 tests having a finalised data package and 11 ready for validation. About 40 tests are needed for launch.
