Financial calendar Half-year report 2014: August 15(th) 2014 Report January - September 2014: November 14(th) 2014 Year-end Report 2014: February 20(th) 2015 Message from the CEO The first quarter of 2014 has been very positive for Brighter since capital raised in the private placement and the rights issue has both given the company long term capital and new investors. The work to close the issues required considerable resources but despite this, the company could continue to develop the production launch - developing tools, etc. - and proceed with the certification as planned. On a personal level it feels very positive to get proof, through interest of the investor community, that the Company and the staff are working toward the right goal - to help people with diabetes around the world with a better form of treatment. In the second quarter, we continue to work to get the product into production, but we will also strengthen the organization with relevant expertise and dedication. On June 18(th), we have scheduled our annual general shareholders meeting, during which we also intend to present and elect new board members - who each have relevant expertise and who have shown great interest in our company during the recruitment process.
