Worth a read - feel for Abingdon share holders
How long before another Chinese Co buys their manufacturing plant? Without the fund raise they would have been insolvent
Fair to say Omega & Abingdon should really be private companies, the directors of Omega receiving £200,000 a year each remuneration plus option bonus’s whilst owning no shares of note and at the same time raising £5M after expenses - that’s the max it can be now IF they win the vote
after £400,000 fees
Plus at the same time only £400,000 of the £5M being invested in growing the business, it’s unbelievable really.
‘Trading update
Group revenues were approximately £1.7m (H1 2020: £7.7m), with the year-on-year decrease being predominantly linked to no DHSC revenues being recognised in the Period, as well as other non-recurring COVID-19 related sales falling in the prior year. This decrease in revenue versus the Board's prior expectations was caused primarily by the lack of use of the AbC-19™ Rapid Test by DHSC against initially forecasted sales and also in a period when the Company continued to develop new products and invest in its operating infrastructure, with a consequential impact on the level of losses incurred.
The cash position as at 31 December 2021 was £5.9m, following the fundraise in December which brought £6.1m (net of fees) into the business for working capital and R&D investment. The Board believes that cash balances are sufficient to meet the Company's current requirements, with a range of mitigating actions available to conserve cash if needed’
