LONDON--Industrial materials company Applied Graphene Materials PLC (AGM.LN) posted wider losses in the half year ended January 31.

The company reported a pretax loss of 1.9 million pounds ($2.8 million), up from a loss of GBP1.2 million the previous year, on revenue up to GBP13,000 from GBP2,000.

"Whilst the precise point at which customer demands turn into production scale orders is customer dependent and therefore remains difficult to predict, the progress that we have made means that we are well placed to be able to respond rapidly to meet customer requirements and to satisfy anticipated demands as they arise," said Chief Executive Jon Mabbitt.
