Revenue from sales totaled €593 thousand, growing by 16% compared to the same period last year. During each of these initial half-year periods, a platform was sold: one to the University of Florida in 2022 and another to the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), London in the current half-year. Over the course of the period, the Company has continued consolidating its offerings while enhancing efficiency in production logistics and customer relationship management.

Taking into account other revenue, the total revenue from activity increased by 11%, amounting to €826 thousand, compared to the same period last year. Other income, amounting to €233 thousand on 30th June 2023, corresponded to the Research Tax Credit.

Current operating expenses rose by 86% to €6 million, breaking down as follows in addition to cost of sales:

  • R&D costs of €3.1 million, compared with €1.6 million in the first half of 2022, an increase of 97%. This increase reflects the Company's intensified focus on high-value projects, especially within Cell and Gene Therapy and Bioproduction sectors. A prime example is the collaboration with Cambridge Consultants to develop a cutting-edge micro-fluidics technology platform.
  • Sales and marketing expenses amounted to €0.45 million, marking a 70% rise from the figure as of 30th June 2022. This increase stems from staff reorganization within the department, a pronounced attendance at scientific and trade exhibitions, and a comprehensive revamp of digital communications.
  • €1.4 million in overheads, down by €56 thousand compared with the first half of 2022.

Operating loss was €5.1 million at 30th June 2023, compared with €2.5 million at 30th June 2022. Net loss at 30th June 2023 was €6.4 million, compared with €2.5 million for the six months to 30th June 2022.

Financial structure at June 30, 2023

Genomic Vision had cash and cash equivalents of €14 thousand at 30th June 2023, compared with €760 thousand at 30th June 2022. This consumption of cash is directly linked to the company's current activities, in particular its labor cost.

The Company's short-term financial resources (Convertible notes with warrants, Research Tax Credit, Trade receivables) should enable it to finance its activities until end-October 2023. The Company is actively working on several financing and operational structuring options to rapidly secure the additional financial resources needed to pursue its development beyond this horizon. The Company anticipates a gradual extension of its 12-month financing horizon, in several stages: the materialization in the very short term of transactions on which it is actively working on, and which should enable it to strengthen its equity and thus pursue its activities during the year; then other complementary initiatives enabling it to extend its financial horizon to at least the end of 2024. On the basis of these factors, the Company's management has adopted the going concern assumption. However, there is no guarantee that the anticipated financing will be available.
