The facts, not fiction: on the new CEO, the future and funding!12 Jan 2024 18:43
So, how is the new CEO doing - lets have a look at what has been achieved and what we can look forward to!
*****The Future - Near Term*****
- James said: Revenue and commercial traction for the hearing loss test imminent - as soon as Dec 23 and Jan 24 (Brighton adopted the test and came live in December 4th 2023, and we now hear of the possibility that the 11 neonatal units in Kent, Surrey, and Sussex should go live soon. Additionally, as per 20th Dec RNS, initial overseas orders have been received from France, Austria, Greece, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the Netherland) - i'd say that's pretty good progress from a man who has kept his word
- 100% clarity from the new CEO that special commissioning for the hearing loss test will happen - we'll watch this space, but momentum appears to be growing
- Contracts being drawn up with potential partners who can help with the FDA application for the hearing loss product in a cost effective manner - hope we hear about this soon
- NICE full validation for the MTRNR1 is being hindered by the EVO procedure and not the product - news due Jan 2024
- NICE Review of the CYP2CI9 - due Jan 2024
- More grant funding is also a possibility e.g., through MedTech etc.
*****Funding*****
- Funding: Q1 2024 - funding will be specifically for FDA of the MTRNR1 - RF drawdowns, sales, and tax credits will cover the monthly cash burn, despite what the derampers say!
- I must remind everyone that Q1 runs to the 31st March 2024, so funding for FDA doesn't necessarily need to be imminent. Additionally, other funding options are available for FDA, such as a JV or some form of American partner deal, as JC eluded to
