30 January 2017

Appendix 4C – Quarter Ended 31 December 2016

The Company’s Appendix 4C for the quarter ended 31 December 2016 is attached.

The Company wishes to provide the following relevant information to be read in conjunction with the attached Appendix 4C:

  • During the quarter the Company received $2.144m in relation to the 2015/16 financial year research and development tax rebate. An accrual of $2.1m was recorded in the June 2016 accounts.

  • Receipts from foundry operations for the remainder of the financial year are expected to be higher than the amounts received during first two quarters of the financial year.

Operating Result for the 6 Months Ended 31 December 2016

As a result of the completion of the Commonwealth Clean Technology grant program, the Company received approximately $200,000 less in grant revenue in the December 2016 half year as compared to the prior corresponding period.

Due primarily to this reduction in grant revenue the Company expects to record an operating loss for the 6 months ended 31 December 2016 which is more than 10% higher than the corresponding prior period.

About BluGlass

BluGlass Limited (winner of the 2013 Australian Technologies Competition) is an Australian green technology company formed to commercialise a breakthrough in the Semiconductor Industry.

BluGlass has invented a new process using Remote Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition (RPCVD) to grow semiconductor materials such as gallium nitride (GaN) and indium gallium nitride (InGaN), crucial to the production of high efficiency devices such as next generation lighting technology Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and power electronics, with advanced performance and low cost potential. The RPCVD technology, because of its low temperature and highly flexible nature, offers many potential benefits over existing technologies including higher efficiency, lower cost, substrate flexibility including GaN on silicon and greater scalability. www.bluglass.com.au
