Commenting on the results, Michael Norris, Chief Executive of Micap, said:
"This has been a year of significant progress and change for Micap during which, we have moved away from the research and development led business of the past and focussed on generating revenues from our own channels, specifically with our direct sales of Micap Ingredients into the food market".
"These changes have given us more control over our own destiny, and it is my challenge to ensure that the correct infrastructure is in place to allow Micap to achieve its potential in selling products to the market, developing new opportunities both for Micap and our partners, and achieving the necessary progress to reach the market with our agrochemical partners".
