("HaloSource" or the "Company")
Trading Update
HaloSource, Inc. (HAL.LN, HALO.LN), the global clean water technology solutions company trading on London's AIM, today announces that, further to our announcement of 20 November 2015, the Company has successfully resumed full production at our Drinking Water facility in China and is now actively fulfilling customer orders. This follows an extended shutdown of our Drinking Water facility due to unexpected operational challenges in relation to the production of cartridges as we increased manufacturing capacity.
Whilst we now have installed increased manufacturing capacity to meet existing and future market demand, the shutdown of the facility has resulted in a further delay in orders that were previously expected to be delivered in 2015. The majority, if not all, of these orders are now expected to be shipped in the first quarter of 2016. Accordingly, we now expect that Drinking Water revenues for the second half will be lower than previously anticipated. As a result, we expect total consolidated revenues for the year ending 31 December 2015 to be materially lower than current market expectations and in the range of $18 million to $19 million, resulting in the net loss for the full year being consequentially higher than market expectations and net cash being approximately $4 million at the year-end. The Company is exploring opportunities to strengthen its balance sheet and improve cash generation.
We expect a strong 2016 as market demand for our class leading HaloPure Drinking Water technology continues to increase in the fast-growing point-of-use drinking water segment and we look to grow the number of customers who will deploy our technology in their water purification systems.
