Figures from Baltimore Technologies should make interesting reading on Thursday as the software security firm said earlier this month that second-quarter revenues would be considerably below market forecasts.
The Dublin-based group is also likely to announce the number of staff set to be made redundant following an operational review.
Visibility in Baltimore's market is virtually non-existent at present, and there is unlikely to be any guidance about prospects for the third quarter.
