- Focused development and deployment of new products into adjacent markets, with successful trial of Lo-Q’s Q-band water park product completed
- Strengthening of Board with appointment of John Weston as Non-Executive Chairman
- FTSE reclassification to Software sector

Post-Period End Highlights

- Six-year contract extension with Six Flags for the Company’s Q-bot solution
- Strong early sales success for Q-band water park product
- Six Flags commits to 2012 Q-band roll-out across nine water parks for a six year term

Commenting on the results Tom Burnet, Chief Executive of Lo-Q, said:
“2011 was an excellent year for Lo-Q. We delivered significant progress from existing installations; announced long term contracted commitments in relation to existing and new products and established important beachheads in new markets. In short, we have achieved every single objective we set for ourselves at the start of the year. The strategic initiatives implemented will provide the framework for longer term progress and the hard work and determination of the team, together with the continued development of innovative new products, has created a strong platform on which to build in 2012.

Notwithstanding the challenges of opening 11 new operations around the world, I am confident that we have initiated the momentum that will define our future business.”
