Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors appreciate the challenging nature of drug discovery and with the relatively short cash runway and the uncertain status of additional fundraising acknowledge a material uncertainty exists in relation to the ability of the Group and parent company to continue as a going concern. The current cash balance and the convertible loan note proceeds provide a cash runway beyond 12 months from the date of filing the financial statements and thus management believes a going concern basis of preparation remains appropriate.

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue. Sector-distribution context coming next.
