Digital's results for the full year to March 31 reflected a rise in staff costs and difficult trading conditions. The computer games and animation effects producer ended the period with reduced sales of £0.4m (£1.15m) and a substantial rise in pre-tax losses to £2.37m (loss last time of £0.19m). The group's board, however, is confident Digital can weather the storm. Business has picked up considerably this year and the group is intent on expanding its product range and its technology. The £12m raised in a recent placing is likely to come in handy as it strives to fulfil these objectives. The market though, is not as bullish as the group's directors. The shares have more than halved since hitting a high of 368.9p in early February.
