First half trading for RM was satisfactory, the education IT specialist said today.

In a trading statement, the UK company said it was on course to hit full-year targets.

RM CEO Tim Pearson said: (http://www.investegate.co.uk/article.aspx?id=200603280700164389A) "As is always the case for RM, first-half outcome is not a good indicator for the year as a whole; nonetheless, performance so far positions us well for the challenges of the second half."

RM's first half ends on 31 March. It reports interim results on 15 May. ®
