Material uncertainty over going concern
Based on cash flow forecasts prepared by the directors, the Group and the Company expect to continue to invest in research and development activities, and losses are therefore expected in the immediate future. Accordingly, the Group will require further funding from either new or existing investors to enable it to continue to trade and meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Whilst the directors are confident that further funding will be received, its successful conclusion is based upon factors outside of the Group's control and therefore is inherently uncertain. In this regard a material uncertainty, which may cast significant doubt about the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, is considered to be present. In the event that the Group is unable to raise further funds and/or secure further significant research and development programmes, the Group is forecasting to run out of funds towards the end of the going concern assessment period. The directors acknowledge that there are mitigating actions that they could take to extend the Group's cash availability, which include curbing and/or deferring development activities, as well as initiating a restructuring exercise. However, taking the above factors into account, the financial statements of the Group and the Company have been prepared on the basis that the Group and the Company are a going concern. The directors believe that the Group and the Company will obtain the further funding required and have therefore prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis, however the directors have concluded that the inherent uncertainty associated with the receipt of further funding, as described above, represents a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Significant events
- “In July 2025, Amphista met a milestone with its collaboration partner, Merck Healthcare KGaA which triggered a milestone payment to the Company.”
- “In September 2025, the Company replaced the Growth Shares held by employees with EMI share options and in October 2025, the growth shares of ex-employees were reissued to rectify historical paperwork.”
- “In October 2025, Tranche 3 of the Series B funding was received following the completion of several milestones.”
- “On 24 November 2025 the Company received formal notice from Merck terminating the existing research collaboration and license agreement. The termination will become effective 90 days from the date of the notice. This event occurred after the end of the reporting period and does not provide evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date. Accordingly, it is treated as a non-adjusting event under FRS 102 Section 32. Management is assessing the potential impact on future operations and financial performance. No adjustments have been made to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 as a result of this event.”
