3. Business continuity
As of December 31, 2020, the Group recorded a loss for the year of £ 6,904,000 and a net current liability of £ 3,392,000, after taking into account cash balances of £ 30,000.
Since the end of the year, the Group has raised additional equity of £ 1,220,000 and made £ 850,000 from the sale of investments to cover working capital requirements, and the Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts. for the period to September 30, 2022 in order to assess whether the use of the going concern basis for the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. In the short term, the Group will need additional additional financing in order to meet its commitments as they fall due and to continue to operate as a company. Directors took into consideration the level and timing of the Group’s working capital requirements (which takes into account recent cost reductions and discretionary spending controls to preserve cash flow) and also considered the likelihood of successfully obtain funding to meet these needs. In particular, account has been taken of ongoing discussions regarding other third party investments and the extent to which these discussions are advanced in both short and long term funding. The Directors acknowledge that while they expect funding to be obtained on the basis of this valuation, as of the date of approval of these financial statements, no such funding has been unconditionally committed. Therefore, while the Directors reasonably expect that the Group will be able to raise the additional funding necessary to continue its operational existence for the foreseeable future, the uncertainty surrounding the ability and likely timing of obtaining such financings indicates that a significant uncertainty exists likely to cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue operating. If such funding were not assured, the Group would have no other realistic alternative than to shut down its activities and prepare its financial statements on a going concern basis.
4. Profit and net asset value per share
Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the loss attributable to owners of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
2020 2019 GBP'000 GBP'000 Loss attributable to owners of the Group - Continuing operations (6,904) (1,673) Continuing and discontinued operations (6,904) (1,673) 2020 2019 Weighted average number of shares for calculating basic and fully diluted earnings per share 79,594,655 44,280,670 2020 2019 pence pence Earnings per share: Loss per share from continuing and total operations (8.7) (3.8)
The weighted average number of shares used to calculate diluted loss per share for 2020 and 2019 was the same as that used to calculate basic loss per share, as the effect of the exercise of outstanding stock options was anti-dilutive .
Net asset value per share ("NAV") The basic NAV is calculated by dividing the loss total net assets attributable to the owners of the Group by the number of ordinary shares in issue at the reporting date. The fully diluted NAV is calculated by adding the cost of exercising any extant warrants and options to the total net assets and dividing the resulting total by the sum of the number of shares in issue and the number of warrants and options extant at the reporting date. 2020 2019 GBP'000 GBP'000 Total net assets of the Group 11,002 14,930 Cost of exercise of warrants 1,715 1,261 Total net assets for calculation of fully diluted NAV 12,717 16,191
