Trading update from the specialist in sustainable LED lighting for industrial applications. “We have made considerable progress since the termination of our contract manufacturing partner arrangements. At the time of the termination we had 50% of final assembly of lighting products in house. This has increased to over 90% and is anticipated to be 100% in the coming weeks. The delays in raw material supplies adversely impacted November results. Performance in December is critical to delivering our year end results and will require a further planned ramp up in production coupled with continuity of raw material supply.”
