GCLP Accreditation and Trading Update
The Company is pleased to announce the receipt of Good Clinical Laboratory Practice (GCLP) accreditation which will now enable it to compete effectively for clinical stage contracts commanding routinely larger budgets; the benefits of this should start being reflected early in 2018.
Commenting on this update Jeremy Haigh, Chief Executive Officer of Proteome Sciences, said “We are working hard to establish Proteome Sciences as a successful services business and are beginning to see the benefits of the comprehensive restructuring and refocusing which was initiated earlier in the year. While we would have liked greater progress to date, revenues continue to grow well and we are witnessing a material increase in enquiry and engagement levels during the second half, particularly from the US. We remain confident that this can be reliably converted into service-based revenues in the near to medium term and are pleased that increasing demand for our TMT® reagents continues to underpin our overall revenue growth and prospects.”

Interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2017
Commenting on these results, Jeremy Haigh, Chief Executive Officer of Proteome Sciences, said:
“We are pleased to report that performance during the first six months of 2017 has been broadly in line with expectations, and revenues significantly ahead of the equivalent period in 2016 driven by strong growth in TMT® sales. This was achieved despite predictable disruption resulting from the consolidation of our laboratory capabilities in Frankfurt and the relocation of our head office to London; these activities increased our administrative expenses for the period compared with 2016 but are expected to generate cost savings from the second half of 2017 onwards....."
