Chairman’s Statement Introduction COVID-19 in H1, 2020 played a crucial role in altering many firms’ business plans. This was no different for Integumen plc. In our case, however, while lock-downs caused an initial organisational problem, the Company was recruiting and expanding in the Labskin subsidiary throughout the lock-down period as orders went to £2m and investment increased to deal with moving production of wastewater contamination detection bacteria for Modern Water Monitoring from their US laboratories, to our York, UK laboratories. Terms have been agreed to acquire Modern Water in a recommended all share offer, and an offer document is due to be issued shortly. Labskin (Innovenn UK Limited) The Labskin business unit expanded and remains fundamental to the Company’s growth strategy as we move forward. New areas added to service offerings to clients have maintained a high level of interest and whilst we were unable, physically, to attend any conferences, virtual conferences allowed Labskin sales teams to meet clients and assist them move from their furloughed state and progress research projects that had been initiated earlier in the year. Rinocloud Limited Collaboration has been ongoing for the past four months between the teams at Rinocloud and Labskin, the Cork Institute of Technology, Ireland and the University of Aberdeen. The combined technology extends a microfluidic/photonics/AI instrument that Rinocloud began developing in 2015 in the University of Cambridge to detect E.coli in water. This was originally announced in November 2019 and has quickly become a full time COVID-19 project working with a team from Modern Water’s offices in Shanghai, China and laboratory in Delaware, USA; the Tyndall National Photonics Institute and Cappa Lab both in the Cork Institute of Technology, Cork, Ireland; University of Aberdeen and our labs in York with commercial development partners Avacta Group plc, Wetherby, UK and the Aptamer Group Limited in York, UK. Over the last number of months, the teams have designed nano-photonic microchips coated with Affirmers and Aptamers that bind to a recombinant SARS-CoV-2 virus. Detection of binding of the target, in real time, has been achieved using a nanophotonic process. In collaboration with the team at Modern Water, Microtrace OVA systems, originally designed to detect contamination in water for chemicals, trace metals and a range of pathogens has been retrofitted with the Rinocloud AI based Novel Sensor to detect and identify SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens. These OVA system units have been installed in hundreds of sites worldwide over the last 30 years and form the basis of the roll out of the Novel Sensor into 2021. STOER For Men - (STOER Ireland Limited) STOER For Men skin products e-commerce division continues to be used as a control for client testing within Labskin laboratories and remains at break-even. Wound pHase (LifeScienceHub Limited) Labskin continues to work on development of wound care products and extend the services to be provided to woundcare client companies. Outlook With a positive first half, Q3 revenues expected to be in excess of £1m we remain comfortable to guide revenues of £4m for the full year. Ross Andrews Chairman 17 September 2020
