Financials

Nanoco’s interim results mark a new chapter in the company’s development. With the tender offer and buyback returning £33m of settlement proceeds closing on 11 April, the focus will now be fully on building the business as a developer, manufacturer and licensor of nanomaterials. Significant milestones have been achieved in H1 with the first commercial order fulfilled and joint development agreements signed with STMicro and a chemical supplier into the electronics supply chain. Earlier-stage work with other potential partners is ongoing.
