The cost reduction programme was successful and has continued into the current year. The loss has been reduced and this year will see a further substantial reduction. Overall liabilities were also reduced.
"The work on the project is ongoing and has been very effective with discussions continuing to take place with prospective anchor partners. Although Covid-19 has delayed a number of initiatives, I believe that as lockdowns ease we will see renewed acceleration in our rate of progress."
