We had sales of over NZ$1 billion for the last quarter -- the result of developing new businesses, markets, products & services. Our exports continue to grow with New Zealand export sales for the first half up over 19 percent on the same period last year
This will be the first time since calendar year 1995 that we have had simultaneous launches of these two flagship products and we will make a considerable marketing and sales investment for these launches and, to a lesser extent, for the launch of Exchange 12.
The customer reaction to our newly launched products has been fantastic. We feel confident about how we will end the year.
The growth in our core businesses was healthy during the quarter driven by strength in Server and Tools, and the success of our Windows Client products in a robust PC market.
