Also provides financial results for year ended March 31. Pretax loss narrows slightly year-on-year to GBP10.3 million from GBP13.0 million, as revenue edges down to GBP626,460 from GBP673,509. Says entering a "pivotal phase" as it seeks to obtain necessary permits and funding to enable construction.
