TRUSPINE TECHNOLOGIES PLC
("TruSpine", the "Company" or "Group")
Interim Results - for the six months ended 30 September 2023
CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REPORT
During the period under review and the period to date the
Company is pleased to have made progress on three fronts namely
:-
- the FDA submission is progressing and has now reached the
substantive phase which it is currently undergoing and the Company
is hoping for more positive news in the New Year.
- Following the registration of its IP title, the Company
anticipates signing a distribution agreement in 2024.
- Financing: the Company remains in pre-revenue stage and is in
detailed discussions with various parties and hopes to agree a
substantial fundraise during January 2024.
On 15 August 2023 the Company raised GBP50,000 through the issue
of 2,000,000 new ordinary shares at a price of 2.5p per share.
The Company continues to be in a pre-revenue development phase
and remains loss-making. The loss before taxation for the six
months to 30 September 2023 was GBP363k (2022: GBP545k) after
administrative expenses of GBP348k (2022: GBP543k). Development
spend for the six months to 30 September 2023 was GBP216k (2022:
GBP216k). Consolidated net assets as at 30 September 2023 amounted
to GBP2.46 million (2022: GBP2.89 million) including a bank
overdraft of GBP8,640 (2022 cash and cash equivalents of
GBP42,000).
As previously notified, the Company's working capital position
remains weak given the lack of revenue generating operations,
however the Company is prudently managing its limited working
capital position. The Company is reviewing equity and debt
financing options available to it and the Directors fully expect a
successful resolution in securing adequate funding to meet the
Company's working capital requirements in the near-term.
Further to the announcement of 27 November 2023, the Company
continues to be in discussions to agree a new redistribution
contract with Spartan Medical, Incorporated which the Company
expects to sign in due course.
Proposed Director Appointments Update
Further to the announcement on 27 November 2023, the Company
maintains its intention to appoint Victoria Sena and Samuel
Ogunsalu, subject to standard regulatory due diligence and securing
adequate funding to meet the Company's working capital requirements
in the near-term.
This announcement contains inside information for the purposes
of the UK Market Abuse Regulation and the Directors of the Company
are responsible for the release of this announcement.
