Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, commented:

“The extended 18-month period has seen both successes and challenges, with the first 12-months seeing the financial benefits from the DSTL contract which focussed on understanding the advantages that graphene-loaded materials may bring to defence applications. In the period we also successfully completed the GSCALE development stage of the project despite the macro‑economic challenges faced and the Company is now focussing on the most advanced Technology Readiness Level stage projects of construction and textiles.

“We remain confident of the environmental and commercial benefits our graphene technology can bring, but the current macro-economic conditions combined with the disruptive nature of our products has delayed the commercialisation we were anticipating. Consequently, we are streamlining the business and focusing on our primary opportunities in construction and textiles. We will continue to seek grant funding to support our operations, but will also need the continuing support of investors, either strategic or from the capital markets, to fund the business until such time as the graphene market gains traction and material commercial revenues flow.

“We look forward to updating the market on progress in due course.”
