Loss per share was 0.9 pence versus earnings per share of 12.0 pence in the previous year.

Adjusted profit before tax was 8.8 million pounds, higher than 7.5 million pounds last year.

Total income rose 12 percent to 36.79 million pounds from 32.82 million pounds a year ago, as the full year benefit of acquisitions made during the course of 2010 and organic growth in the operating companies outweighed lower investment income.

A leading indicator of Australian economic activity continued to signal above-trend growth for the economy in the coming quarters, a report from Westpac and Melbourne Institute showed Wednesday. The annualized growth rate of the leading index, which indicates the likely pace of economic activity three to nine months into the future, was 5.4 percent in April, comfortably above its long term trend. Publishing and design software maker Adobe Systems Inc. said Tuesday after the markets closed that its second quarter profit fell 66% from last year, hurt by lower revenue as well as higher costs and expenses. However, the company's quarterly earnings per share, excluding items, came in above analysts' expectations and its quarterly revenue was in line with analysts' forecast. Stocks showed a strong upward move over the course of the trading day on Tuesday, adding to the gains posted in the previous session. The rally came even as traders expressed some uncertainty ahead of tomorrow's Federal Reserve announcement. The major averages gave back some ground going into the close but remained firmly in positive territory.
