"This is its fourth order to date and will help move full-year revenues closer to our forecasts," says Panmure Gordon, which estimates 3 million euros in revenue for the year and keeps its "buy" rating on the stock.
"We need to see one further order before year-end to meet our expectations. We understand that this is highly likely, given the advanced level of activity with a number of potential customers," the brokerage adds.

09:02GMT 26Oct2009-Pawnbroker H&T shares hit high on gold-rush

Shares in UK pawnbroker H&T climb nearly 7 percent to a record high, after it reports current trading to be 'well ahead' of market expectations, lifted by the rapid roll-out of its gold-buying stands to profit from soaring gold prices.
"While the longevity of gold buying is unknown, the cash benefits may accelerate core growth," says John Stevenson, analyst at KBC Peel Hunt, which is planning to raise 2009 forecasts by at least 10 percent, he adds.
Analysts at Daniel Stewart say they are likely to increase 2009 forecasts by around 17 percent and 5 percent for 2010.
"In the interests of making hay while the sun shines, H&T should be praised for their opportunistic reaction to the high gold price," say analysts at Daniel Stewart.

08:50GMT 26Oct2009-BA falls on antitrust threat, downgrade

Shares in British Airways fall 3.2 percent, the heaviest FTSE 100 faller after a report says the airline, along with Iberia and American Airlines , may have to give up take-off and landing slots to satisfy EU conditions for a proposed tie-up.
A broker downgrade also weighs on the stock.
The Financial Times says the EU believes that the proposed alliance was likely to result in "appreciable competitive harm" on seven European-U.S. routes. Remedies may include the transfer of airport slots to other carriers, the newspaper says.
Meanwhile Deutsche Bank downgrades its stance on the stock to "sell" from "hold". The broker says BA's proposed merger with Iberia and anti-trust immunity with American Airlines, described as the main positive catalysts for the stock, are at risk.
"We see too much risk and too little reward to be invested in British Airways over the next 12 months... investors who want to be in the sector should buy either Lufthansa or easyJet, both of which have strong balance sheets and a clear strategic direction," Deutsche Bank analysts write in a note.
Shares in Iberia falls 3 percent while American Airlines closed 7.3 percent lower on Wall Street on Friday.
