Outlook
The current financial year has started positively, with the graphene business having entered into five significant collaborations since the year end, including an agreement with MediaDevil to launch a new range of earphones and audio equipment which will utilise our Nanene brand. This is the first time it has been used with consumer goods, and will see Versarien receive a royalty on each product sold.
We have also received initial purchase orders for Nanene both in the UK and China. We anticipate this trend of new collaboration agreements being secured, continuing. We therefore look forward with real optimism and confidence to the year ahead.
