Telecoms software firm Netcall charged into the black over the last year and announced its first dividend.The company posted pre-tax profts of £546,000 in the year to the end of June, compared with a loss of £235,000 in 2010.Group revenue for the year more than trebled to £13.62m, with earnings per share increasing by 34% to 1.57p.The board said it was "delighted" to propose a maiden dividend of 0.4p per share at the forthcoming company AGM.The firm said it remained mindful of the economic climate, but its developing pipeline together with the full year impact of a cost savings programme and the increased scale of the business, gave it confidence in achieving a successful outcome for the year ahead."This has been a period of substantial progress for Netcall, during which we have significantly increased our organisational capability and customer base, and broadened our product suite through the successful acquisition and integration of [rival software firm] Telephonetics," said chief executive Henrik Bang.
