New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted by the Company

The standards and interpretations that are relevant to the Company, issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of these interim financial statements have been evaluated by the directors and they do not consider that there will be a material impact of transition on the financial statements.

2.2          Going concern

The directors have assessed the Company's ability to adopt the going concern basis of accounting and consider the adoption to be appropriate in the preparation of the interim financial statements. As the Company exists currently it operates as a cash shell looking for potential opportunities in the life sciences sector. As a result of these limited operations the Company's monthly cash burn has historically been around

£75,000 per year. At period end the Company had cash and cash equivalents of £212,000 which at current cash burn rate is more than sufficient to last for at least 12 months and supports the adoption of the going concern.

2.3           Risks and uncertainties

The principal risks and uncertainties relevant to the Company have not changed materially since the release of the annual financial statements for the period ending 30 November 2022. These risks can be referenced in the strategic report contained within the annual financial statements.

3             Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the Company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed below:

Share Based Payments

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using the Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity. There have been no dilutive instruments issued in the period and the value remains equal to that in the annual financial statements as at the last reporting period.

Investments

Investments are classified as listed or unlisted. The valuation of listed investments is determined with reference to published share prices. The valuation of unlisted investments is assessed by the directors at each reporting date using any available financial information or reports available to them at that time. The directors' assessment of these valuations is subjective and may therefore impact profit and loss and equity in future period. The directors do not assess that the underlying value of the investments have fluctuated relative to the last reporting date however they have been re-valued to reflect the most recent foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
