Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Company has sustained recurring net losses and is reliant on funding from Beacon Therapeutics Holdings Limited (the "Group"), which has a material uncertainty in relation to the going concern. Note 1 also details that the Group has sustained recurring net losses and is reliant on funding from investors. The Group has raised funding of $170m and received $110m as at April 2025. The remaining $60m is expected to be received in the fourth quarter of 2025 and is dependent on meeting future clinical milestones. The remaining funding is necessary for the Group to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business during the going concern period and consequently provide financial support to the Company. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
