Shares in Westminster Group rose 44% to 11.5p after the security systems and products supplier reported a 260% increase in revenues in 2011.
Interim revenues fell from £2.35m to £1.78m but the full year figure jumped from £3.8m to £10m and gross margins improved. This enabled Westminster to make a significant second half profit.
The order book was worth £4.7m at the end of the year. Westminster has always had lumpy revenues and it is trying to develop recurring revenues.
Last year, Westminster raised £605,000 at 12p a share but year end cash balances were only £100,000 higher at £400,000.
