| This
growth is mainly the result of our trade relationships
with new clients (Lexmark, France Telecom, Vivendi
Universal, French Sugar producer...). Our
strategies launched in 2001 turn out profitable,
because they generate incomes substantially higher
than traditional activities.
ERP, helping with decision-making and e-certification
management investments are also developing (more
information in our official statement about Afnor
and Bulgaria). Recently, UNIX services
have been integrated in the Pentalog High Tech's
offer.
The second
quarter should pursue this trend. In April and
May, growth is evaluated at 80% and, respectively
40 % with regard to the last year. It is however
necessary to remind that at that time, the economic
situation was particularly disappointing.
Moreover, Pentalog High Tech
notes that orders coming from clients are diminishing.
Under these conditions, it is extremely risky
to venture in an annual prognosis, even if results
are satisfactory till now.
Therefore, our company keeps its annual objective
of 20 % growth to a constant perimeter.
