Please do elaborate as to why you think this.................
This is from the year end accounts, revealed in Dec:
The Group had net assets at 31 July 2022 of £11.8 million (2021: £19.3m). Cash and cash equivalents of £5.1 million (2021: £17.1m) were improved post balance sheet by proceeds from the Placing of £5.7million and receipt of both the Sanofi milestone debtor of €3million and the prior year R&D tax credit of £2.1million.
Both cash and costs continue to be prudently and tightly managed.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, notwithstanding a consolidated operating loss for the year ended 31 July 2022 of £10.5 million (2021: £5.9m), revenues of £2.7 million (2021: £5.6m) and net cash used in operating activities of £12.1 million (2021: £3.1m). The Directors consider this to be appropriate for the following reasons:
The Board has prepared a number of cash flow forecasts for the period to 31 July 2024. Each of these show cash resource until March 2024, being 15 months from the date of signing the financial statements.
Should the company not receive any revenues from existing or new deals in the forecast period, a cash shortfall will arise in early 2024. The Board considers they are able to take reasonable mitigating action, which includes but is not limited to a reduction in expenditure on certain discretionary research programmes to focus purely on commercialising earlier stage drug molecules, and reducing other discretionary administrative expenditure, which would enable the Group and Company to continue to operate within its existing cash resources during the forecast period without the need for additional funding.
