Comments on output performance

Expected revenue growth targets were not met due to a softening of international markets. A number of large projects have been delayed, with one project that had been expected to contribute to 2004-05 revenue not proceeding due to funding restraints on the part of the intended purchaser. Revenue from other projects has been steady with modest growth in some sectors . Other targets have generally been achieved.
