Rolls doing well

ROLLS-ROYCE has reported a 9% increase in first-half pre-tax profits and expects to meet its full-year goals.  Engines makers are seldom in line with general economic trends as they make deliveries on orders often made many years previously.  Pre-tax profit rose to £445m (£410m a year ago).  On an underlying basis sales rose 17% to £4.9bn.  Also very satisfying is the order book which has grown to £57.5bn (£55.5bn at the end of 2008). www.rolls-royce.com
