Unaudited Results for the nine months to 30 September 2018
Armagh, UK - 6 November 2018: Lan Chem Laboratories UK ("Lan Chem Laboratories", the "Company" or the "Group"), (EURONEXT: ACPH) announces its unaudited results for the nine months to 30 September 2018 to provide an update on current trading and its cash position.
As announced earlier today, the Group has resubmitted its New Drug Application for BARHEMSYS™ to the UK Food and Drug Administration (FDA). FDA will classify the resubmission as either Class 1 or Class 2. The Group remains on track with its launch readiness plans and continues to expect to be ready to launch BARHEMSYS in H1 2019. Activities have been scheduled such that the Group can be launch-ready, with the timing of expenditure capable of being flexed to meet results of the decision around the FDA’s classification of the NDA resubmission.
Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 September 2018 were £33.8 million (30 June 2018: £35.7 million) slightly ahead of expectations at the time of the Company’s IPO in March 2018.
