Digital Barriers plc announced that revenue for the six months ended 30 September 2016 is expected to be approximately double that achieved in the same period last year. Both organic revenue and adjusted losses are expected to be broadly flat year-on-year, although neither of these include the benefit of material US government contracts awarded in September for delivery in the second half of the financial year. Total organic contracted revenue for the period grew 66% over the same period last year.

The company Group reported that it has secured an additional $1.65 million contract with a US government agency. This contract will see Digital Barriers begin to implement its ThruVis solution to help protect mass transit systems and other public spaces across the US against 'soft target' terrorist attacks. ThruVis is a unique camera technology that can detect objects such as weapons and explosives concealed under clothing. The technology is mobile, rapidly deployed, and operates without compromising passenger throughput, safety or privacy. The majority of this contract is expected to be delivered in this current financial year. This ThruVis contract brings to more than $10.0 million the total value of contracts secured with US federal agencies by the Group in September, including an initial contract of $1.0 million for the Group's EdgeVis technology from another agency which is a new customer not yet announced. The company expects the vast majority of this $10.0 million of contracted revenue to be delivered before the end of this current financial year.
