The following is a round-up of updates by London-listed companies, issued on Tuesday and not separately reported by Alliance News:
----------
Ondo InsurTech PLC - London-based claims prevention technology firm - Issues trading update. Reports progress in the first-half continued into the second half of the year and was in line with management expectations. As a result, expects the out-turn for the year to March 31 to be in line with current market forecasts. Reports cash balance of £0.4 million as at March 31.

Baron Oil PLC - London-based oil and gas exploration company - Provides update on operational activities and plans on the TL-SO-19-16 production sharing contract, offshore Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste. Says all operational work related to the site survey at the planned drilling location for the Chuditch-2 appraisal well has now been successfully completed. Some delays occurred during both the geophysical and geotechnical phases of the survey, principally caused by weather conditions and a few other operational issues, but the work has now been completed, and at a cost significantly below the approved budget. Detailed investigation of the location initially chosen for the Chuditch-2 well revealed an irregular seabed that would be unsuitable for placement of a jack-up drilling rig. As a result, a new more appropriate location has been chosen. In parallel to the site survey operations, drilling planning has continued at a good pace. Chief Executive Andy Butler says: ‘The successful completion of the Site Survey, leading to the selection of an improved drilling target location with optimal seabed conditions, is another key milestone towards drilling the Chuditch-2 appraisal well.’
