Full year forecasting remains difficult however if we continue to deliver on our targets, then we anticipate a positive PBT for the full year.
-
Cash generation remains solid
-
Rental fleet expansion may require further fundraising. Rights issues are our preferred fundraising.

International Update
Why USA? - America’s road-safety record is the worst in the rich world
-
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), just over 35,000 people were killed in crashes in the US in 2015. That was 7% more than in 2014, the biggest annual percentage increase since 1965.
-
By most counts, America has the worst road-safety record in the rich world. Its rate of 10.9 deaths per 100,000 people per year is almost twice as high as Belgium’s, the next-worst well-off country, and roughly level with that of Mexico.
-
One of the main reasons that the United States sits atop this grim ranking is because Americans drive far more often than the richworld average.
-
the United States has a relatively high share of rural roads, which often have poor lighting, road markings and safety barriers.
-
several American cities have recently adopted policies aimed at adapting roads for safety rather than speed and separating vulnerable road users such as cyclists from cars. Car users’ share of road deaths in America fell from 42% in 2006 to 36% last year, while fatalities outside of cars (cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists) rose from a quarter of the total to a third.

Improving Public Safety: What does it mean?
-
Pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users are becoming a larger proportion of the worldwide road toll
-
Historically, there has been a larger focus on development of products to deal with high speed road deaths, not so much on lower speed urban public safety solutions
-
With this in mind, we are starting to place our focus on solutions more tailored to State government safer design guidelines for urban areas including:
-
Activity Centres (bollards/traffic calming)
-
Car Park Areas (bollards/traffic calming)
-
Parks and Open Spaces (solar lighting)
-
Lighting (solar/on-grid public lighting)
-
Walking and Cycling Paths (bollards/bike lanes)
-
Signage (low maintenance flexible signage)

Product Innovation – what we’ve achieved
-
We have successfully commercialized a number of products we have developed during the past couple of years including:
-
Ironman[TM] Hybrid barrier
-
Zone2 , our Variable Messaging Sign web-based management platform
-
Our flexible signage range

Product Innovation – utilising technology
-
We have acquired LS-DYNA, developed by Livermore Software Technology Corp. (LSTC), a multi-purpose finite element program used to analyse the non-linear response of structures.
-
LS-DYNA is used by companies and universities worldwide to simulate a whole range of different engineering problems including crashworthiness simulation
-
LS-DYNA is a tool for understanding the deformation of complex systems such as vehicle structures.
-
This product will enhance our ability to develop more robust safety products and reduce the likelihood of failure when conducting actual crash tests to meet regulatory standards
