The financial year ended 30 June 2014 focused on effective cost management together with a number of strategic achievements and significant progress with Aeris Environmental Ltd's (Aeris or the Company) product development activities. The decline in annual revenue largely reflects the sale of the Aeris Hygiene Services cold storage business, which also resulted in a lower overall loss for the year. Aeris will be providing a full report of its activities in its Annual Report to be released by 30 September 2014.
Key Achievements for the 2013-4 Financial Year Negotiation (post-balance-date acquisition) of the business of Smartcool Systems Australia Pty Ltd.
Independent validation of the SmartENERGY platform.
Commercially-significant expansion of the AerisGuard long-life anti-microbial coatings platforms.
Several new multimillion-dollar applications were identified and validated, with strategic distribution partners in place.
Agreement for the expansion of AerisGuard HVAC, and the cold storage business in the Philippines, Hong Kong, Singapore and China.
Expanded distribution network for the AerisGuard range, both domestically and internationally.
New OEM manufacturing agreements for supply in the 2014-15 financial year.
First international distributor for the consumer mould range. Shipments to begin before the end of
December 2014.
Impressive technical results from the Lonza collaborative development on the AerisGuard hard surfaces platform.
Expanded enzyme cleaning opportunities in the hospitality industry, including beer and beverages.
Collaborative agreement with an industry leader for smart polymer production.
Improved trading position for the 2013-14 financial year.
Drawn-down non-dilutive loan funds of $2,050,000 from the Company's Non-Executive Directors, with further undrawn facilities available.
During the 2013-14 financial year, Aeris concentrated its activities on scalable and global commercial opportunities for its proprietary 'Smart' platforms. The core of the Company's technologies continues to be energy and system efficiency, materials protection, indoor air quality and food hygiene. Of particular importance is Aeris' capability to provide an integrated range of solutions to its end customers and partners.
Since 30 June 2014, the Company has secured commercial orders for its SmartENERGY platform, and a number of high-profile customers are in negotiations with Aeris, with a view to implementing a broad cross section of the Aeris technologies across their enterprises, both in Australia and internationally.
A more detailed operational review will be set out in the Company's upcoming Annual Report.
DividendsNo dividends were paid or proposed during the year.
