Although Delcam (DLC:AIM) issued a profit warning last November, the computer aided design/computer aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) software expert made monthly record sales in December for the fourth year running.

Helped by last January's acquisition of Crispin for £500,000, Delcam's sales rose 32% to £3.75 million in the final month of 2007.

The news helped the shares hold firm at 307p, well above December's 226p low but way below their year high of 440p.
