Arcontech Group PLC - London-based provider of real-time financial market data and services - Revenue for the six months ended on December 31 decreases by 6.6% to £1.4 million from £1.5 million a year before, due to the effect of contract losses announced during the previous financial year. Pretax profit drops by 13% to £372,414 from £428,924, as operating profit falls to £361,405 from £430,619. Looking ahead, expects revenue and pretax profit for the year to June 30 to be in line with current expectations.

We are starting to see small amounts of growth and are confident that this will continue, although this must be balanced against continuing difficult markets for our customers.’
