On the whole, encouraging.
Whilst the normal negative views remain on loop tape, the counter view is that a strong step forwards occurred in the financial year. Sufficient funds are in place to put the viability of the company beyond doubt. Revenues received increased substantially, were they to increase again by the same percentage in the current year, that in itself could bring self sufficiency very close. China is another matter entirely, as are the other future projects which can bring revenues of many multiples, it's more than obvious that this would move the company in to real earnings.
I know that the negotiation of a new agreement with DSM has been under way for a long time already, the conversation I had with Ian Ford touched on this, without any undue disclosure. The wording of the paragraph explains that Provexis could become the supplier of Fruitflow, and the suggestion that the amount paid by DSM for them to supply their existing client base could become more rewarding for Provexis. The prospect of Provexis changing their business model is intriguing, but I have some concerns over the funding and establishment of a stand alone supply chain. Firstly, it rocks the boat, the established relationship with a global specialist is not to be scrapped lightly, and I'm sure it won't be. Everyone, from the top down, has been more than a little frustrated by the pace of revenue growth, but these results show real growth, and the prospect of much more growth. I wish Ian Ford well in his negotiations.
