Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Audit & accounting basis

- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Blick Rothenberg Audit LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Notwithstanding the deficit on shareholders' funds, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least twelve months from the date these financial statements were approved. The company has also received a letter of financial support from the wider group. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In 2021, Alimera Sciences Limited entered into a License Agreement with Ocumension Limited (Ocumension) in which Ocumension was granted an exclusive license for the development and commercialization of the 190 microgram fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant applicator for the treatment and prevention of eye diseases in humans, other than uveitis, in China, East Asia, and the Western Pacific”
- “The revenue increase of 40% is driven by increasing growth in direct sales and improving demand from our distribution partners. The loss realised is due to increased personnel, consultant costs & marketing costs and interest payable on promissory note with Alimera Sciences, Inc.”
- “Following the acquisition of the company by ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. all outstanding share options were settled, and the related share-based payment expense was accelerated.”
