Nanoco revenues more than double following 'strong operational performance'

Nanoco said revenues came to £7.3m for the year ended 31 July, slightly ahead of market consensus, while billing came to £9.6m.

However, the London-listed firm noted that an exceptional credit from a contract liability waiver would be largely offset by exceptional charges stemming from various contract specific assets and provisions.

Nanoco's unaudited cash position at the end of the year was £7.0m, marking an increase of £800,000 over the six month period, and the company still expects to be holding around £6.0m worth of cash at the end of the calendar year.

Chief executive Michael Edelman said: "This strong operational performance contributed to the best financial results in the company's history.

"We remain focused on completion of the current contract deliverables whilst broadening our efforts to seek out other potential new customers in the electronics and display sectors."

As of 1350 BST, Nanoco shares had dipped 0.88% to 11.25p.
