Standard Platforms Holdings Plc announced a return to profitability at its annual general meeting held on September 21; for the five months to August 31, net profits amounted to UKP76,041 compared with losses at the year-end stage (CI No 1,985): revenues were valued at UKP1.4m, with an order back-log standing at UKP1m; the order intake for the current month is said to be in excess of UKP200,000, and the prospect list is reportedly significant enough to make the results for the second half of the year seem promising; although UK domestic business has much improved over the last 12 months, things at the US subsidiary, Docufile, are continuing to make slow progress; this is despite the sale of the first full medical records installation to the Pioneers Hospital, which is due to be implemented in October; thus, negotiations are going on now with three potential buyers for the US company.
