Mike Harrison, Executive Chairman of Earthport, commented: "We are now beginning to see the benefits of the strategic review and the refocusing and reorganisation of the Company. This is reflected in the agreements that have been entered into over the last few months, which are now producing revenue growth."

We are optimistic that the second half of the year will show an improvement over the first half both in terms of revenue and operating contribution. We are continuing to identify opportunities for further agreements which should enhance both our distribution channels and our customer base."
