Dear Skarpers,

Firstly, we apologize for the paucity of updates.

We've had our nose to the grind as engineers do, and per most recent article on CNET, published in June, we remain in the development phase.

After multiple iterations of our technology, we had to redesign a key component (the custom drawn optical fiber) which has a 4 months lead time each draw/manufacturing, which has held us up. We have what we hope is the 'final' fiber on order, and are waiting for a delivery date from our vendors.

It may be that the fiber works great, but it can also be that it needs one or two more fine tunings.

Our last projection for delivery was by the end of this year, but given the uniqueness of this technology, this date may slip. We will advise as soon as we are able.

In discussion with Indiegogo, we have taken the decision to remove the 'InDemand' feature from our campaign, but will be updating our website when we have the results of the latest fiber, and at the right time, allow orders to be placed there.

There continues to be a lot of comment by others whether this project is real or not; we can assure you it is.

Thank you for your continued support.

Yours sincerely,

Morgan, Paul - Co-founders, Skarp.
