Petards Group PLC - Guildford, England-based developer of security and surveillance systems - Swings to pretax profit of £502,000 in 2021 from loss of £1.2 million in 2020, as revenue increases 4.6% to £13.6 million from £13.0 million. Says trading since December has been slightly ahead of management expectations, but this currently is thought to be the result of the timing of orders rather than a better performance. Deliveries of £8 million already secured for 2022, confident of further progress.
