Investment will also be continued to finalise the miniaturised AD product and complete its commercialisation prior to its launch into the retail market with a suitable commercial partner.
Current trading and prospects
The Company recently announced that it has agreed the principal terms of a proposed distribution agreement with a Chinese company operating in the high technology sector and a member of a group of companies with combined annual sales of over GBP900 million. This includes minimum annual sales targets for the new product range with volumes of 75,000 ADs in the first year, beginning from 1 February 2012.
The Company is also leveraging its existing sales and distribution network. Discussions have commenced in other territories with the aim of ensuring that the Company has the best distributors for the new products. In 2012, the Company also intends to target new markets such as North and South America.
It is likely that sales from the new products will not increase until the second half of the financial year to 30 June 2012 once the distributors have been able to launch the new products and secure sales in their territories. Nevertheless, once the new products are fully launched, the Company expects sales volumes to be significantly greater than the sales volume for the existing AD device as indicated by the proposed sales volumes in China.
The development of the miniaturised AD for use in the domestic home is progressing well and this work has been critical to the development of the new AD2.0 and Klean products being launched. The Company continues to hold discussions with an industry leader as a potential commercial partner for this miniaturised AD product.
Commercial interest in the Company's products is building significantly and the introduction of the additional Klean product has increased the markets available and the overall size of the opportunity.
