Been away from the board for a while and so this may have been discussed, but do we feel that Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport could be a possibility for the contract?

"Meanwhile, AUO has begun shipping market-niche passive matrix (PM) mini LED-backlit panels, with initial shipment targeting the gaming monitor sector, Peng noted."
Wishful thinking perhaps...?
Some pretty underwhelming numbers here:

More Production Chemist - Synthesis, Scale Up recruitment just advertised (includes shift work requirement):
https://www.cv-library.co.uk/job/207361197/Production-Chemist-Synthesis-Scale-up?hlkw=Nanoco&sid=902909a4-6bd0-4908-9f81-4324e7603cb0
Page 57 appears to be notes to the figures on page 33 (link again below for ease of reference)
http://www.wahhong.com.tw/download/fin/fin_report2018_Q2.pdf
Page 33 does refer to 3 payments, one for June 106, one for December 2016 and one for June 107
The payments are 60,840,000, 63,460,000 and 63,460,000 respectively
If the Taiwanese dollar is the currency, that would be £1.5m, £1.6m and £1.6m respectively through to June 2018.
(I think reference to the 106 and 107 years are the Taiwan Era Minguo Calendar and ergo 2017 and 2018 respectively, see following link:
https://holidays-calendar.net/calendar_en/conversiontable_en.html)
I may be reading it wrong, but I think each of these payments are outstanding - i.e. still to be made to Nanoco at the time that Wah Hong reported their Q2 2018 accounts...
Screenlearner - I was actually just wondering if the currency is New Taiwan Dollar as on their website Wah Hong refer to revenue in this currency:
http://www.wahhong.com/news-m.html?mode=content&oid=FE41543FE8A76606
In which case 63,460,000 would indeed be referring to c.£1.6m.
This may well be 'lost in translation' and so would be happy to be corrected....
The link below takes you to the Wah Hong Q2 2018 accounts.http://www.wahhong.com.tw/download/fin/fin_report2018_Q2.pdf
Page 57 of these accounts refer to payments to Nanoco.
Google translates the relevant section as saying
"The sales volume of the company is determined, the company's management level estimate the total price is about 95,255 Thousands of yuan, paid in several instalments when the sales amount is reached . of June 30, 107, and December 31, and June 30, The unpaid amounts are 63,460,000, 63,460,000 and 60,840 thousand, respectively"
63,460,000 yuan converts to approx £7m.
Could this be right....?
