Thanks Lib,
I still struggling to make sense of the figures. I’d presumed it was down to Vanchem as £30m was paid in cash, but the cash in H1 was $66m and full year it was $33m, suggesting it was cash reserves used in the sale, meaning the only alteration is in the current and non-current assets, so shouldn’t have anything to do with the operating costs. Plus purchase is shown as a gain further down the statement so surely wouldn’t be shown as a profit and a loss?
To me it genuinely appears to as though we made a loss in Q2, which is why there’s such a big deficit from H2 to full year. The positive is now that we actually have Vanchem, presumably that will bring some decent profits in.
