Stephen O'Hara, CEO of OptiBiotix, commented: "OptiBiotix has made significant progress in the last 12 months signing 18 commercial agreements making a total of 28 agreements since launching products in May 2017. OptiBiotix's products are now being commercialised as food ingredients, medical devices, drug biotherapeutics and supplements in around thirty countries across the world. Importantly, these agreements are starting to generate income with revenue growth in the second half of the year significantly higher than at the start of the year.

On behalf of the Board I would like to thank our shareholders for their continued support and we look forward to an exciting future commercialising our products in a market forecast to become one of the world's fastest growth areas."
