Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have considered the financial position of the company as at the balance sheet date, including the net assets of £144,450,000 and net current assets of £101,907,000. The company also has a broad customer base, and a strong history of profitable operations. There are no indications that this will not continue to be the case through the foreseeable future. Noting the considerable financial resources available to the company, alongside the company's access to Novartis's global cash pooling arrangement, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, covering a period of at least 12 months from the issue of the financial statements. Therefore, they have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis.”
