CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT

Overview

Despite continued challenging market conditions during the first half of 2025 we have seen our AUM remain above £100 million, protected our positions in key portfolio companies, and continued to support our portfolio through £5 million in syndicated fundraisings, proactive management, and our hands-on value creation services. We fully integrated the Martlet Capital practice into EMV Capital's structure, driving fair value growth, synergies, and opening up co-investment opportunities for our broader practice. We continue to focus on expanding our Funds practice to deliver sustained growth.

Our Venture Building programme is seeing a core group of companies progress through key milestones with the prospects for significant capital returns. We were pleased to add to the programme the exciting IP and clinical assets recently acquired from Destiny Pharma, opening significant potential additional capital upside for the Group.

August 2025 marked the five-year anniversary since the acquisition by NetScientific plc (now EMV Capital plc) of EMV Capital Limited (now EMV Capital Partners), and the adoption of a new strategy. In that period, we have seen the transformation of the Group from £12 million AUM across eight portfolio companies to over £100 million AUM across more than 70 companies, and a differentiated business model. We introduced growing recurring revenue streams to the Group spanning corporate finance, fund management and value creation services, covering a substantial part of our costs. The Group has diversified from solely life sciences investment activity to include deep tech and sustainability investments, seen key portfolio companies advanced significantly in value, and established depth in the Cambridge high-tech cluster.

Financial and Operational Highlights

Reflecting our venture capital model, we report on both the 'core' operations of our Group (comprising EMV Capital plc, EMV Capital Partners Limited and other EMV Capital trading companies) and our 'portfolio subsidiaries' (Glycotest and ProAxsis). The portfolio subsidiaries are treated as separately managed portfolio companies, each supported by external investors.

Group Performance

·       Group revenue decreased slightly to £1.1 million (H1 2024: £1.2 million), comprising:

o    £1.0 million from EMV Capital core revenue (H1 2024: £1.0 million), which covered c.79% of the core Group's costs for the period whilst also providing infrastructure and services to the Group and its portfolio companies; and

o    £0.1 million from ProAxsis (H1 2024: £0.2 million), reflecting production delays of its work-in-progress pipeline.

·       Group losses for the period decreased to £1.5 million (H1 2024: £1.8 million), comprising:

o    £0.3 million attributed to the core EMV Capital operations (H1 2024: £0.6 million); and

o    £1.2 million attributed to the subsidiary portfolio companies, ProAxsis and Glycotest (H1 2024: £1.2 million).

·       Total Assets increased to £19.7 million (FY 2024: £19.5 million), whilst net assets decreased slightly to £13.6   million (FY 2024: £14.1 million) and after adjustment to account for the full fair value of the Group's       subsidiary portfolio companies net assets decreased to £29.3 million (FY 2024: £29.9 million).

·       £0.4 million (H1 2024: £0.3 million) of new direct investments made by EMV Capital across the portfolio (all   through the issue of EMV Capital plc shares).

·       There were no divestments during the period (H1 2024: £Nil).

·       Cash on the balance sheet was £0.5 million at 30 June 2025 (H1 2024: £1.0 million), with a further £1.0           million in readily realisable quoted securities at 30 June 2025 (H1 2024: £2.5 million).

Assets Under Management

·       EMV Capital has interests in its portfolio of more than seventy companies. A mixture of direct and indirect  (third party/managed) holdings provides a broad range of potential investment returns, opportunities to   take deeper stakes and generate advisory revenues and broaden our footprint in the deep tech and life   sciences sectors.

·       Total AUM (both direct and indirect) stood at £104.7 million (FY 2024: £98.5 million, H1 2024: £106.7               million), comprising:

o    £38.6 million in Fair Value of direct holdings, including balance sheet investments of £14.3 million and subsidiaries and associates at directors' valuations of £24.3 million; and

o    £66.1 million in Fair Value of managed and third-party holdings, including the EMVC syndicated         portfolio, the Martlet Capital fund, and the Evergreen EIS fund managed by EMV Capital Partners.

Corporate Finance Practice

·       EMV Capital Partners syndicates investments from its extensive network of private, institutional VC, and     corporate investors, focusing on pre-Series A and Series A stages. EMV Capital Partners also provides       corporate finance advice to portfolio companies to identify and execute capital efficient solutions as they     seek to grow or streamline their cap structures. Often such deals are defensive in nature or helping the   companies prepare for a larger investment round and protect EMVC shareholder value.

·       This plays a vital role in the Group's capital-efficient strategy by, providing third party fundraising support to   portfolio companies.

·       Raising investments from EIS investors is central to the EMV Capital Partners business model, both for               supporting the funding needs of the portfolio and fee generation.

·       EMV Capital syndicated £5.0 million (H1 2024: £6.4 million) in new investments across seven portfolio             companies (H1 2024: 11). This helped to unlock additional funding from other investors and support our         portfolio companies in a difficult fundraising market.

·       Key portfolio fundraisings included support for Q-Bot, Wanda, Deeptech Recycling and Martlet Capital             (please see our Portfolio Review section for further details).

Value Creation Services Practice

·       Our in-house operational team, venture partners, and panel of expert service providers offer support across   investment readiness, exit readiness, IP strategy, corporate collaborations, financial functions, and senior     executive placements.

·       EMV Capital actively engages with portfolio companies to drive venture capital returns through Board               representation and the active use of its Value Creation Services offering.

·       These services are expected to drive further fair value increases in the next 12 to 18 months, and enhance       the prospects for profitable exits, whilst generating fees for the Group.

Funds Practice

·       Martlet Capital

o    Fund performance: the fair value of the fund's portfolio holdings has grown by 7% in the first half of 2025 from £24.5 million at 31 December 2024 to £26.5 million at 30 June 2025. Several of its portfolio companies executed follow-on investments, including Converge ($22 million), Stroll (£10.3 million) and Cambridge GaN Devices (£32 million), Paragraph ($55m) and Xampla ($14 million) closed investment rounds. We believe the growth in value and portfolio resilience is meaningful in the context of a challenging VC market, showing the promise of the Martlet portfolio which is now supported by EMVC's pro-active investment management strategy.

o    Operations: we have now fully integrated the Martlet Capital infrastructure, realising significant           savings through synergies. Working with our Cambridge-based colleagues, EMV Capital has deepened   its links within this leading UK high-tech cluster of entrepreneurs, investors, and stakeholders. 

o    Fundraising: EMV Capital Partners led a c.£1.2 million fundraising into Martlet Capital, providing     additional working capital for the business. This included £0.2 million from the EMV Capital investor     network.

o    Co-investment programme: during September 2025 (with work commencing during H1 2025), EMV Capital Partners closed its first co-investment into a Martlet portfolio company, investing c.£280k syndicated from its investor network into the $14 million investment round of Xampla, a plant polymers technology company. EMVC plans further co-investment into the Martlet portfolio, increasing the scope for investment returns through carried interest, corporate finance fees and increased AUM.

o    Exits: during September 2025, exit proceeds of c.£320k were received by Martlet Capital following a strategic secondary trade of part of its stake in a healthcare portfolio company, representing a 2.5x return.

·       Evergreen EIS Fund

o    The fund selectively co-invests alongside EMVC's portfolio (including Martlet Capital).

o    Fair Value grew to £1.4 million (FY 2024: £1.3 million).

o    During H1 2025 we continued work into the Evergreen EIS Fund, building infrastructure, and refreshing the investment thesis. We are in discussions with various IFAs and wealth managers to increase inflows into the fund.

o    We anticipate further investments into the fund given the tax-driven investments sector remains       resilient in the UK.

·       New fund initiatives

o    We have continued work on future new fund initiatives but recognise the fundraising environment for establishing new funds is very tough.

o    We are also looking at special opportunities for non-organic growth of our Funds practice, as we       believe the UK VC deep tech and life sciences space is ripe for consolidation.

·       Future growth benefits

o    Additional exposure to carried interest from fund distributions.

o    Recurring management fee income from fund management fees, contributing to the Group's             infrastructure costs.

o    Diversified returns profile, increasing investment opportunities, reducing risk and enhancing potential returns.

o    Use of balance sheet selectively to take advantage of opportunities without over-extending resources.

o    Growing ecosystem of co-investors and partners, to enhance investment prospects and strategic       synergies.

o     Scale funding capacity to support portfolio and reduce burden of deal-by-deal funding.

o     Reaching critical mass as a VC player in our sectors of choice.

Venture Building Programme

·       EMV Capital's Venture Building practice actively engages with a subset of portfolio companies to drive           venture capital returns through the combination of Board representation, pro-active management,                    corporate finance support and the active use of its Value Creation Services offering.

·       Key stages of Venture Building programme include:

o  Receiving a significant direct stake through minimum cash and/or in-kind services as part of a   restructuring.

o    Syndicating an initial investment to fund a transition/turnaround period.

o   Supporting the companies through our Value Creation Services to achieve key value inflection points.

o   Helping build an autonomous management team, enabling EMV Capital to decrease its involvement.

o   Increasing and validating fair value through further external investment at a higher valuation.

o   Realising outsized investment returns through partial or full exits.

·       Key companies in our Venture Building programme include Wanda, Deeptech Recycling, Vortex, Ventive, and DName-iT(please see our Portfolio Review section for further details).

·       In addition, on 22 September 2025, EMV Capital added Destiny Pharma AMR Ltd (formerly Moirai                 Acquisitions) to its Venture Building programme following its acquisition of the IP and clinical assets from ex-  AIM quoted Destiny Pharma.

·       Over the past three years, five of these companies have generated £9.3 million in direct fair value increases   at a cash and in-kind services cost of £0.9 million, representing a 10.3x uplift on investment.

Outlook

As mentioned at the time of release of our 2024 Annual Report, whilst challenging market conditions and limited capital availability persist, we continue to successfully close investment rounds.. These are often taking longer with more investor-friendly terms and smaller amounts being raised. In response, but we are working with companies to streamline funding needs and decrease cash-burn, whilst still targeting key value inflection points, and closing out more modest investment rounds.

The Group remains squarely focused on the implementation of its strategic roadmap, positioning EMV Capital as a leading VC in the deeptech and life sciences sectors. We aim to drive shareholder value by investing in companies with transformative technologies both in the UK and internationally. We are focused on continuing to grow as a multi-sector venture capital firm committed to delivering superior returns from innovative, high-growth companies.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS

Summary

Since its holding of a portfolio of eight companies in 2020, the Company has significantly expanded its reach, now managing a portfolio of over seventy companies. This includes a mix of direct (on balance sheet) holdings and third-party stakes, for which we have established carried interest fee arrangements. Collectively, we refer to these holdings as Assets Under Management (AUM).

This diverse portfolio offers a broad spectrum of potential returns and presents opportunities to take larger stakes in select companies while generating additional advisory revenue.

Measuring Assets Under Management (AUM): AUM is a commonly used measure in the VC and PE industry to denote the Fair Value of stakes owned in public and private companies, on balance sheet (i.e. owned by the company), and as part of third-party funds under management with carried interest.

As outlined in our 2023 annual accounts, historically we have reported the value of directly owned (on balance sheet) stakes based on directors' fair value, whilst indirect advised stakes were recorded at cost. To enhance comparability and transparency, beginning with our 2023 accounts, both direct (on balance sheet) and indirect (third-party managed) stakes will now be measured at directors' fair value. Collectively, these holdings will be referred to as Assets Under Management (AUM).

It is important to note that investments in early-stage private companies are inherently challenging to value. To ensure consistency and rigor in our valuation process, we have applied the British Venture Capital Association (BVCA) valuation principles when determining fair value.

Total assets under management (both direct and indirect) are £104.7 million (YE 2024: £98.5 million, H1 2024: £106.7 million) as described above.

More details on the individual companies' developments are provided in the Portfolio Update section below.

Table 1: Fair Value of Directly Held Portfolio Holdings

Table 2: Directors' Valuations of Subsidiaries and Associates

Third-Party Stakes: Funds and Syndicated Investment to which the Group has carried interest exposure

Carried interest or profit share agreements typically range from 15% to 20% of profits earned for investors above a minimum return hurdle rate of c.10%. Third party Assets Under Management are expected to grow through further syndicated investments in existing and new portfolio companies and the expansion of our Funds practice. The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position reflects the owned portfolio as equity investments classified as fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and financial assets classified as fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), adhering to the British Venture Capital Association guidelines widely accepted in the VC community. The fair value of the below third-party stakes is not included within the group's audited financial statements.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS DURING THE PERIOD

Glycotest, Inc. (Glycotest) - Subsidiary

·      Location: Philadelphia, US;

·      Technology/Sector: Medtech; Liver cancer diagnostics

·      Holding: Direct 52.7% (2023: 52.7%); Advised 5.8% (2023: 5.8%)

·      Fair Value: Direct £11.0 million (2023: £11.0 million); Advised £1.3 million (2023: £0.6 million)

Overview:

Glycotest is a US based liver disease diagnostics company commercialising new and unique blood tests for life threatening liver cancers and fibrosis-cirrhosis. The Company was founded in 2012 by EMV Capital (then NetScientific) on technology originating at the Baruch S. Blumberg Institute and Drexel University College of Medicine.

Glycotest's lead product, the HCC Panel, is a biomarker panel powered by a proprietary algorithm for the early detection of curable, early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) - the most common form of primary liver cancer. The HCC Panel has outperformed the current standard of care blood test in preliminary clinical studies. Glycotest estimates that the early detection market for HCC presents a >$800 million opportunity in the US alone. Glycotest has also developed a blood test for the second most prevalent form of liver cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, and a blood test for staging liver fibrosis.

Key developments 2025:

Following the announcement last year of its partnership with the University of Georgia Complex Carbohydrate Research Center to develop novel glycoproteomic assays for the Company's HCC Panel blood test for early-stage liver cancer, Glycotest has advanced this project through the initial assay development phase with promising preliminary data on selected patient samples. Further progress will be dependent on additional financing which the company is seeking with the assistance of EMV Capital. The company is also initiating discussions with potential partners for its Fibrosis Test. The Fibrosis Test has shown promise for staging liver fibrosis in preliminary clinical evaluations. The importance of effective staging tests for liver fibrosis has increased with the emergence of drug therapy for the rapidly expanding MASH (non-viral hepatitis) population which is eligible for treatment when intermediate fibrosis is reached.

ProAxsis Ltd ("ProAxsis") - Subsidiary

·      Location: Belfast, UK;

·      Technology/Sector: Medtech; Respiratory diagnostics

·      Holding: Direct 88.5% (FY 2024: 88.5%); Advised 8.6% (FY 2024: 9.1%)

Fair Value: Direct £ 8.0 million (FY 2024: £8.0 million); Advised £0.8 million (FY 2024: £0.8 million)

Overview:

ProAxsis Limited is a commercial-stage research company and a spin-out from Queens University Belfast. The company specialises in the development and supply of assays for basic and pharmaceutical research and has commercialised activity-based immunoassays targeting Neutrophil Elastase (NE), Proteinase 3 (Pr3) and Cathepsin G (Cat G) as biomarkers of lung infection and inflammation in chronic respiratory diseases such as COPD, cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis.

The technology has been translated into a point-of-care test (NEATstik®), designed to enable fast, routine assessment of active NE levels. It is primarily used by Pharma and clinical research businesses to support drug development clinical trials.

Key developments 2025:

The company ended 2024 with revenues up 92% to £470k, a lower cost base and a promising sales pipeline for 2025. However, at the start of 2025 a major OEM supplier quality issue led to a pause in production which has lasted until September. The company undertook a comprehensive review of this aspect of the business, which has resulted in a more resilient supply chain, with alternatives identified. Production has restarted in September, with a pipeline of contracts for execution for the rest of 2025. The production pause will lead to a significant decrease on the sales targets for 2025, but it is expected sales will recover in 2026 and beyond.

The company continues to receive interest from pharma and clinical research businesses for use of its offering in clinical trials. It was pleased to have supplied assays utilised in Insmed's Phase II clinical trial supporting the FDA approval and subsequent launch of a first -in-class treatment for non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB).

In line with its focus to expand the use of the NEATSTIK test into COPD, ProAxsis has negotiated with Imperial College a 12-month COPD clinical study. The study is launching in October 2025. Should it be successful, it is expected to open up the clinical trials market in COPD and longer term around COPD point of care applications.

The company also moved into new facilities at Randox's state of the art laboratories near Belfast International Airport, providing ProAxsis with a strong base for production and potential for collaborations.

ProAxsis plans a modest third party fundraising which is expected to take the business through to breakeven on its current operations, and launch the clinical study. It also continues to benefit from several grants from InnovateUK, LifeArc and Future Medicines Institute.

Deeptech Recycling Technologies Limited ("DeepTech Recycling")

·      Location: Oxfordshire, UK;

·      Technology/Sector: Waste management; Recycling of plastic

·      Holding: Direct 17.5% (FY 2024: 21.2%), Advised 27.3% (FY 2024: 29.3%)

·      Fair Value: Direct £2.5 million (FY 2024: £1.8 million); Advised £4.0 million (FY 2024: £2.5 million)

Overview:

DeepTech Recycling is a UK-based technology company addressing the global environmental crisis caused by the insufficient and unsustainable management of plastic waste. Its technology converts currently unrecyclable plastic waste, that would normally be landfilled or incinerated, into oil that can be used by the petrochemical industry as feedstock for producing virgin quality plastic. The company's mission is to make plastic sustainable and support the critical global transition towards a circular economy for plastics. DeepTech Recycling is pursuing a capital efficient investment approach, whereby plastic recycling plants are set up as SPVs funded by end users and feedstock suppliers, whilst the company provides the design and operates under a licensing arrangement.

Key developments 2025: 

The company has made significant progress towards achieving its corporate objective to reach Final Investment Decision (FID) in one or more key projects. The launch of one or more of these projects is expected to generate significant revenues, drive increases to shareholder value, and open the route to further licensing. The company has focused on the following projects from its pipeline:

·      A planned 9,000 tonne per annum commercial mixed plastic waste recycling plant in Norway with           Norwegian industrial partners, has reached a significant milestone. The SPV set-up by the company and   its partners in late 2024 has secured an indicative term sheet for debt financing from the Norwegian   Government of up to £11 million, and has successfully completed third-party technical and financial due   diligence.

·      Detailed negotiations are underway for a second facility in Norway, an initial 700 tonne per annum             commercial demonstration mixed plastic waste recycling plant, involving a Norwegian industrial partner   and an established Waste Management Company. If successful, this initial facility will pave the way for a   larger plant for the Waste Management Company.

·      In the UK, a commercial demonstration plant is progressing following a signed MOU in 2023 with a major packaging producer active in the UK and EU markets. After completing proof-of-concept (in a Small Pilot  Plant) and feasibility studies in 2024, DeepTech is now in discussions with a major recycling facility, the  Welsh Government, and the packaging producer to establish the commercial facility to process current  volumes in the UK. 

·      In the EU, the company is working on developing commercial capacity to recycle waste polystyrene.       Having completed proof-of-concept testing, DeepTech Recycling has initiated joint IP and development   testing with a major Central European Group and producer of expanded polystyrene. 

With these developments and routes to commercial deployment, the company believes it has a strong position in a growing market, amidst a growing global awareness around the essential role of chemical recycling in dealing with the environmental challenges of plastic waste and ensuring sustainable, circular polymer production. This ambitious development programme was backed by funding syndicated by EMV Capital Partners during 2024 and 2025, with support expected to continue.

Wanda Health ("Wanda")

·      Location: Bristol, UK and US;

·      Technology/Sector: Digital health; Remote patient monitoring

·      Holding: Direct 14.4% (FY 2024: 20.2%); Advised 21.3% (FY 2024: 19.2%)

·      Fair Value: Direct £1.5 million (FY 2024: £1.4 million); Advised £2.1 million (FY 2024: £1.3 million)

Overview:

Wanda Health is an intelligent platform for remote patient monitoring and virtual care. It empowers healthcare providers and payers with early detection of patient exacerbations, enabling faster interventions, preventing adverse events, and improving patient adherence. Wanda's platform helps reduce hospitalisation and readmission rates by collecting and analysing patient data from home or community settings. Originally a spin-out from UCLA, the company is now headquartered in Bristol, UK, with sales and operational presence in the US.

Key developments 2025:

The company has continued to grow its ARR through the onboarding of several contracts signed in late 2024 and early 2025. Following several years of product platform development, refinement, and commercial pilots, Wanda Health achieved significant commercial traction in the US market in late 2024, which accelerated into 2025. The company has onboarded several Healthcare Providers as well as a National Pharmacy Benefit Manager, with ARR steadily increasing. The company is also progressing its FDA regulatory pathway.

The company closed an EMV Capital led £1.1 million funding round in April 2025, supporting the scale-up of the business. 

While the company's ARR is increasing, there are various operational risks in a scale-up stage, so EMVC is closely monitoring and supporting the growth of its Board and senior management to handle the scale-up challenge.

Q-Bot Limited ("Q-Bot'')

Overview:

Q-Bot is an award-winning robotics company developing robust, purpose-built, software-enabled robot solutions for the built environment, and in particular retrofit of underfloor insulation. Its robots-enabled platform and workflow solution is used to survey, monitor, and install underfloor insulation in floor voids. It is widely recognised as a specialist market leader in the automation of underfloor installation. Having already been deployed in over 5,000 homes across the UK and France, Q-Bot is helping to improve energy efficiency, increase home comfort, and align with new regulations around decarbonisation. Q-Bot is seeking to capture a significant share of the underfloor insulation market in the UK and internationally by working with installation partners, whilst exploring new applications in construction robotics.

Key developments 2025:

Following a strategy review and rescue funding during 2024, Q-Bot completed its restructuring into a leaner robot-as-a-service business. The pivot to this lighter model was completed in early 2025, with team size reduced from a 2024 high of 70 people to 13, operating expenditure was reduced by 60%+, and a streamlined focus on its core capabilities of robotised underfloor insulation for the UK and international markets.

On the back of this transition a new CEO with industry experience in scale-ups and partnerships was attracted to the business, to lead the implementation of a focused commercial growth strategy with a focus on Q-Bot's core strengths. With a much lower cost base, management expects breakeven and profitability to arrive sooner than under the previous model, in turn facilitating further growth. It is also planning on supplementing the Robotics platform with various AI tools that can improve efficiency and profitability of the installations.

To fund this strategy, in late May the company launched a pre-emptive funding offer to provide funding through to breakeven. With EMV Capital support, the company raised over £700k of fresh capital, agreed the conversion of over £1 million of debt, and refinancing of a further c.£380k. The post-money valuation of Q-Bot following completion of that funding offer is c.£5 million, with a much healthier balance sheet.

The Board of Q-Bot is cautiously optimistic for the company's prospects, now based on a leaner platform with a clear and focused strategy and a strong product-market fit. Nevertheless, significant risks remain including around execution, team stability, market take-up and fundraising. Should the company be successful in its strategy, there is significant upside potential in valuation with comparison to other robotics and AI companies in the ConstructionTech space.

The final version of the MEMS device has started production at Silex, with devices due to be assembled into the satellite terminals by Q4 2025.

Sofant has experienced significant growth in market interest, particularly in the aero market, including defence, commercial, business jet and autonomous vehicle markets. The company anticipates launch of commercial sales in 2026. These developments underscore Sofant's continued progress and strategic positioning in the satellite and terrestrial communications market.

Destiny Pharma AMR Ltd

·      Location: London

·      Technology/Sector: Therapeutics; antibiotic resistance

·      Holding: Direct 30% fully diluted

·      Fair Value: Direct £0.56 million; Advised £1.3 million

Overview:

Post balance sheet date, EMV Capital added Destiny Pharma AMR Ltd (formerly Moirai Acquisitions Limited) to the portfolio. The recently formed company acquired key IP and clinical assets of ex-AIM company Destiny Pharma Ltd (in administration). EMV Capital syndicated a £1.3 million investment round to finance the acquisition of the assets and setup of the business, the final tranche of which closed on 29 September 2025.

Destiny Pharma was an AIM-quoted clinical stage biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialisation of novel medicines to prevent and cure life threatening infections. In particular, its XF-73 programme was focused on the prevention of post-surgical site infections, a major part in the fight against the worldwide epidemic of antibiotic resistant S. aureus (including MRSA). Having been quoted on AIM until 13 August 2024, the company subsequently appointed administrators on 21 August 2024 and liquidators on 1 August 2025.

Prior to going into administration, Destiny Pharma had completed a Phase 2b trial for its nasal gel and had advanced plans to launch a Phase 3 clinical trial. Key potential benefits of the XF drug platform acquired by Bidco include:

·     ultra-rapid bacteria kill;

·     ability to kill bacteria in any growth phase;

·     ability to kill bacteria within staphylococcal bacterial biofilms;

·     active against all Gram positive bacteria tested to date and selected Gram negative bacteria; and

·     no bacterial (MRSA) resistance is seen to emerge.

As part of EMVC's Venture Build programme, the company is consolidating the acquired assets, setting up a new management team, and setting up a new business plan and roadmap, anticipated to target the launch of a Phase 3 programme in due course. In line with EMV Capital's capital efficient investment approach, cash burn is kept low until the point a clear regulatory and investment path to a Phase 3 trial is confirmed.
