LHKX’s business division LHKX | Capital is providing continuous financial and corporate development support for these early stage development portfolio companies and is working with external business development experts to fine tune each of the business models and prepare for initial product launches during the second half 2010.

In addition, LHKX | Capital is arranging for a series of private placements in order to provide working capital for each of the three portfolio businesses during 2010/11.
