LONDON (ShareCast) - Security and surveillance technology maker Petards is eyeing full-year results in line with hopes after a strong start to 2014.

Petards, which makes CCTV and passenger information systems for trains and secure radio equipment for the military, said improved orders late last year had strengthened its finances and revenue predictability this year.

Chairman Raschid Abdullah said: "The company traded strongly and profitably in the first quarter of 2014 and is on track for an outcome in line with market expectations for the year."

Shares rose 0.5p or 5.2% to 10.1p at 15:28 in London.
