Directorate change
PhotonStar LED Group plc (AIM: PSL, "PhotonStar" or "the Group"), the British designer and manufacturer of smart LED lighting solutions, announces that Group CFO Russell Banks is stepping down for personal and health reasons within a week and after completing an orderly handover.

Additionally the unaudited cash in the bank at 31 December 2014 was £1.1m and the group had drawn down £0.7m of invoice financing debt out of its total facility of £1.3m.
The search for a new CFO is underway. In the meantime, operational management of the finance function will be undertaken by existing directors, Interim Group COO David McTurk and Nigel Lee of CFO Solutions Ltd (Company Secretary). Nigel has been providing accounting function support to PhotonStar since 2008.
