GOING CONCERN
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and realization of assets and discharges of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As disclosed in the financial statements, the Group incurred loss after income tax of $43.0 million and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $41.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the Group had a cash balance of $28.4 million.
The Group has been primarily investing in research and development activities associated with the continuing development and proposed commercialization of the DurAVR® THV system. During the six months to June 30, 2025, amounts invested in research and development activities and general operations exceeded cash inflows associated with sales of ADAPT® tissue products.
The Group anticipates that additional funds will need to be generated in order to achieve the Group’s long-term goals and complete the research and development of current products. The Group does not expect to generate significant revenue until after regulatory approvals to commercially sell the DurAVR® THV system have been obtained and sales have commenced. The Group therefore expects to continue incurring losses in the near future.
To become and remain profitable, the Group has commenced conducting clinical trials and seeking to obtain regulatory approvals with the aim of commercializing, manufacturing and supplying products, including the DurAVR® THV system, that generate significant revenue. For medtech devices, including the DurAVR® THV system, this will require the Group to obtain further relevant regulatory approvals, successfully complete product clinical trials, develop and expand quality management systems, obtain regulatory approval post completion of clinical trials, expand manufacturing and distribution capabilities and comply with ongoing post-market regulatory requirements.
Prior to achieving commercialization, the Group will periodically require capital infusion through the issuance of shares of Common Stock, debt instruments, or other securities that can be converted into Common Stock. The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to attract additional capital and ultimately, upon its ability to develop future profitable operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such financing, or that it will attain positive cash flow from operations. If the Group is unable to obtain adequate capital resources to fund operations, it may be necessary to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its operations, which may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and its ability to operate as a going concern. However, the Group has established a track record of successfully raising new capital and entering into debt facilities. This includes completing an IPO in the fourth quarter of 2024 of 14,800,000 shares of Common Stock for gross proceeds of $88.8 million before underwriting discounts, commissions and other transaction costs.
The above conditions give rise to substantial doubt as to whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance date of these financial statements.
The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) and management believe that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate for the reasons outlined above.
Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realize its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities and appropriate disclosures that may be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.
