Integrated Research up

Software developer Integrated Research recovered from a half-year net profit and revenue decline to report a 12 per cent lift in profit to $7 million and a 4 per cent rise in revenue to $34.5 million for the 12 months to the end of June 2006. The company, again, issued a final dividend of 1.5¢. The solid full-year result wasn't as significant as the previous year's, when the company reported a 39 per cent net profit rise and 10 per cent lift in revenue. The result did not impact on the share price, which closed again at 47¢. Rachel Lebihan
