- Affirmed
“The directors have not identified any material uncertainties that would cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As at 31 December 2024, the Company had a deferred consideration of £104,692,000 relating to the acquisition of Intellectual Property Rights (IP) for Abstral, Adcal, Adcal D3, and Sancuso from Kyowa Kirin International Holdco Ltd. This deferred consideration is supported by a comfort letter issued by Grünenthal GmbH. Based on their assessment of the Company's financial position, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of the directors' report. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. The going concern assumption is further supported by a £11,000,000 credit line facility with Grünenthal GmbH, which is secured for a minimum period of 12 months.”
Significant events
- “On 1st July 2024, the Company acquired the Intellectual Property Rights (IP) related to Abstral, Adcal, Adcal D3, and Sancuso from Kyowa Kirin International Holdco Ltd. The transfer included trademarks, patents, registered designs, and exclusive business IP contracts. The consideration is structured into two tranches: £26.0m (settled on 1 July 2024) and a second variable payment and based on 2025 brand performance, expected to be £104.1m, making the total consideration £130.1m.”
