It is pleasing to see that our trading and cash performance have proven to be as resilient as we had anticipated. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Prior to the impact of Covid-19 the business had been performing marginally ahead of our expectations in 2020. The last part of March and the whole of April saw our Revenues reduce by approximately 40%. The impact was approximately 30% in May and we are confident this improving trend will continue. The cost reduction measures we had already taken, and those we took due to the outbreak, have led to an approximate adjusted\n \n \n \n \n \n EBITDA breakeven position in April and May. We now look forward to a return to profitable trading as conditions improve. Our cash position remains good; we continue to operate with significant headroom to our aggregate £25m banking \n \n \n facilities.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n We look forward to providing our next Trading Update for Q2 in July.\"\n \n \n \n \n \n Due to Government restrictions as a result of Covid-19, the AGM will be a closed meeting. \n \n \n \n \n \n For more information please visit \n \n www.flowtechfluidpower.com\n \n .\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Enquiries to:\n \n \n Flowtech Fluidpower plc\n \n \n Malcolm Diamond MBE, Non-Executive Chairman\n Bryce Brooks, Chief Executive Officer\n \n \n Russell...
