Management said that growth in demand for its products, likely as a result of lockdowns, started in China from February and in much of the rest of the world from March. It therefore anticipates that revenue will come in towards the top of its previously stated range of £65m-£73m for its current financial year ending May 2020.

The company noted that it was still too early to judge the long-term effect of home working on efficiency. It anticipates some level of disruption, and potential delays to production schedules such as the next major update for its Elite Dangerous game.
