RE: Cash position good22 Aug 2021 17:43
@Jimi I appreciate your post but think there are 2 issues:
1) Assuming a value on HCV via WHO (Note: it is UNICEF with whom we have a contract with not WHO)
2) Cash available does not seem correct.
1) Yes, DB has said sales for HCV has resumed (in a recent 360DX article) but the scale/ value of sales to date were not given. To assume a 500k to date is 'throwing a dart in the dark', unless you have data/info to support this.
2) In the March 2021 presentation, you can see in the slides that they stated the un-audited cash as of 15 Mar 2021 = £2.8m, plus R&D tax credit of £1.0m, then TOTAL cash = £3.8m. Underlying burn rate of approximately £0.4m pcm, means 9.5 months of cash. Which means till the end of 2021.
Contrary to your beliefs, I would not call this a good cash position at all. For this reason it is ever frustrating to not know how we plan to keep the company as a 'going concern', with even very little comms on the 0-6 months targets as stated in the last presentation, which were:
1) Update on European MoH
2) Registration updates FDA, WHO and India ------ (we only know about India approval and import licence)
3) Launch of Genedrive ® SARS CoV 2 P.O.C. in calendar Q2 2021 ---------- (we know now delayed till Q3)
4) Commercial launch of AIHL and initial sales
