Stephen Palframan, Chairman, commented:

A record rise in revenue, a 40% increase in earnings that exceeded expectations and a 19% improvement in after tax performance make this an outstanding set of results for 2007.

With our highest ever levels of investments in new product development and our continued interest in qualified distribution companies Vero Software is confident of further growth in 2008. 4.
