| Consolidated Cash | $7.97M | $3,73M |
| Patents Lodged | 1 | 3 |
| Patents Granted | 2 | 1 |
-
Revenue increased 16.1% to $2.4M due to the following factors:
-
Receipts from the Commonwealth Climate Ready Grant increased by $300K reflecting the company’s expenditure on the photovoltaic project
-
Interest income increased by $43K up 19% following the injection of equity funds from SPTS
-
BluGlass expects to receive an R&D rebate and its current cash reserves allow the company to meet its immediate goals

Revenues for high-brightness LEDs grew108% to $11.2 billion in 2010
-
� Revenue is expected to peak in 2014 at $16.2B and then fall to $15.3 B in 2015. The dip in revenues will be temporary, as lighting will take over as the engine for growth after 2015. Source: Strategies Unlimited, The Worldwide Market for LEDs, Market Review and Forecast 2012

The LED equipment market (MOCVD) represents a US $6.1B opportunity through to the end of the decade Source:Yole Developpement III-V Epitaxy Equipment and Application Market Report 2012
-
In 2011 the $1.5B market continued to be dominated by two global companies Aixtron and Veeco. Veeco estimates ~400-800 machines will be shipped for the LED market annually to 2016 Source: Veeco Investor Presentation June 2012

POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF RPCVD FOR LED
----- End of picture text -----
A low temperature growth system such as RPCVD may offer LED manufacturers compelling performance advantages at several stages of device growth. Low temperature p-GaN is one area that BluGlass is presently focusing on
LED STRUCTURE GROWN USING MOCVD
BENEFITS OF RPCVD GROWTH
p-GaN grown at intermediate to high temperature
Multi-Quantum-Well (MQW) InGaN layer, the ACTIVE REGION of an LED - grown at low temperature
The higher temperature growth of the p-GaN top layer compared to the MQW layer can cause some of Indium to diffuse out of the active MQW layer and reduce the LEDs light output. MOCVD cannot effectively grow high performance p-GaN at lower temperatures.
n-GaN grown at high temperature
GaN grown at high temperature
RPCVD has great potential to improve device performance by growing a low temperature p- GaN layer which in turn improves the stability of the InGaN layer during growth.

Earlier this year, an RPCVD grown GaN film with good crystal quality was demonstrated when grown on a GaN template (refer to Figure 1)
-
Recently, an RPCVD GaN film grown on a GaN template was shown to have low impurities with carbon, hydrogen and oxygen levels all less than 1x10[17] atoms/cm[3]
