Revenue from sales totaled €284 thousand in the first quarter of 2022, up 72% compared with the first quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily due to a positive base effect (Q1 2021 having been heavily impacted by the Covid-19 crisis) and to an upturn in product sales and service sales activities in the first quarter of 2022, notably thanks to the Company’s commercial prospecting efforts.
Within the context of the public health crisis that heavily impacted Genomic Vision’s activities and revenue, the Company has undertaken a sizeable R&D focus specific to targeted programs since 2021 to strengthen its commercial offer.
Total revenue from activity, once other revenue is taken into account, increased by 78% in the first quarter of 2022 compared with the same quarter of 2021. Other revenue, which totaled €104 thousand, mainly corresponded to Research Tax Credit, which was higher than last year as a result of the R&D focus mentioned above.
Financial structure at March 31, 2022
Genomic Vision had a cash position of €1.3 million at March 31, 2022, compared with €2.3 million at December 31, 2021. Based on its proposed development plan, the Company estimates that its current available cash will enable it to finance its activities until the end of May 2022 (excluding the exercise of the Winance warrants and Bracknor/Negma warrants already in circulation) and that the additional cash required to enable it to pursue its activities in 2022 is an estimated €4 million. In order to cover its working capital requirements:
- the Company decided to put in place a new financing line with Winance via the signing, on June 11, 2020, of an OCABSA (convertible notes with warrants) issuance contract, of which it has used €6 million gross (€5.7 million net of costs) out of a possible €12 million. The Company can no longer use this financing line given the expiry of the Prospectus relating to this operation that was, in any case, due to expire in June 2022.
-
the Company decided to implement a new financing line with Winance via the signing of a new contract on April 11, 2022 providing for the provision of a maximum of 15 tranches of €2 million each, i.e. up to €30 million, subject to the following conditions precedent:
- the granting of an AMF visa for the new Prospectus,
- the operation’s prior approval by the Company’s shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting scheduled for May 23, 2022,
- the conditions for the drawdown of each tranche being met, and notably with the share price not being below the share’s par value.
In the event that one or more of these conditions precedent – which are not all in the Company’s hands – were not fulfilled within the given timeframe, the Company could then not be in a position to realize its assets and liabilities and settle its debts within the framework of its normal course of business, and the application of IFRS accounting rules and principles within a normal context of the continuation of its activities, notably concerning the evaluation of assets and liabilities, could prove to be inappropriate. Consequently, this situation is generating significant going concern uncertainty.
