Trading update
New trade finance facility
LifeSafe (AIM:LIFS), a fire safety technology business with
innovative fire extinguishing fluids and fire safety products, is
pleased to report that sales growth has continued to exceed the
Board's expectations in 2023 with revenue in the first four months
to 30 April 2023 of approximately GBP2.1 million, over 200% higher
than the same period last year and approximately 15% higher than
internal budgets for 2023.
The Board believes that the outperformance of sales in the first
four months of 2023 augurs well for trading in the second half of
the year, which is expected to reflect the Company's seasonally
busier second half of 2022, and the launch of LifeSafe's new
StaySafe All-in-1 fire extinguisher in the North American and
European markets.
The new StaySafe All-in-1 extinguishes 10 different types of
fire, including lithium-ion battery fires. Lithium-ion fires are
becoming an increasingly prevalent problem which this product can
effectively extinguish and prevent re-ignition. The Group expects
the growing awareness of this problem to continue to drive strong
sales growth.
To take full advantage of this growing second-half revenue
opportunity, in addition to the unsecured GBP250,000 non-revolving
supplier invoice finance facility announced on 31 March 2023, the
Group has entered into a new 150-day, GBP250,000 trade finance
facility to more easily manage its expected working capital
requirements. The facility is subject to an arrangement fee and
interest of 3% per month and is secured by debenture over the
assets of the Group.
Commenting on the Trading Update, Dominic Berger, Chairman of
LifeSafe, said: "The outperformance of revenue against the Board's
expectations in the first four months of the year is very
encouraging. To ensure the Company is positioned to take full
advantage of the growing sales potential of the second half of 2023
we must invest now in the procurement cycle to meet the expected
demand. The new trade finance facility announced today will enable
us to meet that growing demand more effectively."

Notes to Editors
LifeSafe is a fire safety technology business that develops
eco-friendly, novel and innovative fire extinguishing fluids with a
range of life-saving fire safety products. Through its highly
experienced management team, LifeSafe is seeking to create new
markets for the Group in fire safety through new technologies,
digital marketing and multi-channel sales.
LifeSafe has developed what the Directors believe to be a market
disrupting range of eco-friendly fire safety protection products
including, launched in December 2022, a new Thermal Runaway Fluid
to combat thermal runaway in lithium battery fires by permanently
extinguishing and preventing the re-ignition of lithium fires. This
is an evolution of the Group's core FER1000 extinguishing fluid,
for which the Group has been granted a patent in the UK, which has
been developed by LifeSafe to extinguish five different types of
fire: electrical, paper, textiles, cooking oil, and petrol and
diesel.
The Group launched its best-selling first generation StaySafe
5-in-1 fire extinguisher using this fluid on Amazon Prime in the UK
in August 2021. It subsequently became Amazon Prime's top-selling
fire extinguisher in the UK in the same month. The StaySafe
All-in-1, an evolution of the Group's core fluid which is verified
to extinguish ten different fire types, was launched in the UK in
April 2023. StaySafe products were launched in Screwfix in Spring
2022.
LifeSafe is continuing to develop new fluid derivations for the
industrial market.
LifeSafe was admitted to trading on AIM in July 2022 with the
ticker LIFS.L. For additional information please visit
