Commenting on the results Nick Bolton, Chief Executive Officer said:
“Despite the extremely difficult trading conditions, OMG has emerged from the year with strong foundations and a clear plan for the future. Although we have not been able to avoid the impact of the downturn in the US, the diversified operational base has provided us with some comfort, and we have seen enough growth to maintain our revenues at previous levels”

“Overall we've ended the year with the Group in robust good health. Our three main businesses are all competing well in their respective marketplaces; we're continuing to invest in new products and markets; we remain open to the prospect of strengthening our position through acquisition; and we have nearly £3 million in the bank. All of this means we are well positioned to control our own future. OMG enters 2010 better equipped to succeed in these tougher times with the new Vicon products of Bonita and Revue, increasing opportunities at 2d3 and a better aligned Group cost base.”
