Hi bottom_feeder.
“So all in all it looks like OBD is going to shut up shop”
That’s seems a massive assumption going on todays RNS.
We could instead highlight the beginning of Dr Jon Burrows statement…
“The first half of our financial year saw excellent progress across the business.
There was sustained growth in orders of Episwitch Cirt tests, which has continued post-period end. Overwhelming demand for the PSE blood test after the announcement of its high accuracy performance led the group to accelerate its development”.
Hardly comments of a company ready to “shut up shop”.
Yes OBD have spent a lot of the funds raised, but as stated the US subsidiary has leased and moved into 7800 sq ft of laboratory space, these extra costs should not be repeated.
UK clinical lab is also under development, costs of which will not be repeated.
New sales and operation roles in the US and new roles in the UK, which should generate income.
£900,000 in UK tax credits received in April to add to the cash balance.
300,000 EpiSwitch tests processed in May, (which still has 1 day to go).
As the BOD states, the going concern statement was said in the annual reports in 2021 & 2022, and repeat today.
Seems like cash will be needed, “shutting up shop” far from the truth from my reading.
