Business Overview 

Tissue Regenix Group plc (‘Tissue Regenix’ or the ‘Company’ or the ‘Group’) (AIM: TRX) is an international, 
pioneering medical technology company focused on commercialising our two platform technologies, dCELL®, 
addressing soft tissue needs, and BioRinse®, providing sterile bone and soft tissue allografts. 

We are currently helping to transform the treatment of patients in key surgical applications: orthopaedics (sports 
medicine/spine), dental, general, foot and ankle, plastic surgery, urology/gynaecology and ophthalmology. 

More details on our operating segments and operations are contained below: 

dCELL® 
Our patented decellularisation (‘dCELL’) technology platform removes DNA and other cellular material from animal 
and human soft tissue, leaving an acellular tissue scaffold, which is not rejected by the patient’s body, and can 
then be used to repair diseased or damaged body parts. Current applications address many critical clinical needs, 
such as foot and ankle surgery, sports medicine, urology/gynaecology and wound care. This business segment 
operates primarily under the TRX BioSurgery brand. 

BioRinse® 
Our proprietary BioRinse technology platform is primarily utilised to provide sterile tissue prepared in a manner 
to minimise the negative effects of processing. One application of the technology provides a natural bone filler 
solution, tested for osteoinductivity, which can stimulate and regenerate native bone growth. This product has 
the potential to provide superior clinical outcomes as it contains 100% allograft bone, tested to demonstrate the 
presence of the key natural bone growth factors and available in various physical forms. Current applications 
address many critical clinical needs, such as spine surgery, sports medicine, dental, ophthalmology and wound 
care. This business segment operates primarily under the CellRight Technologies brand. 

GBM-V 
Our controlled joint venture company, Gewebebank Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (‘GBM-V’), is a regional tissue 
bank based in Rostock, Germany. It currently produces tissue preparations for ophthalmology, primarily cornea, 
using conventional, classical methods. 

Operations 
The Group’s main facility is in San Antonio, Texas, and is used for processing dCELL and BioRinse products. 
As part of the Phase 1 expansion, completed in 2021, we relocated facilities designated for distribution and frozen 
tissue storage as well as adding two clean rooms at the existing San Antonio facility, bringing the total number of 
clean rooms to seven. We also have facilities in Leeds, United Kingdom (‘UK’), for processing dCELL porcine tissue 
including OrthoPure® XT, as well as our controlled joint venture GBM-V in Rostock, Germany, for human tissue in 
the European Union (‘EU’). The Group had an average of 76 employees and 6 Directors in 2023.

Chair & Chief Executive Officer’s Statement 

“2023 was another year of solid progress for the Group and is a great credit to the management team behind it. 
We  have  seen  record  revenues,  Tissue  Regenix’s  first  full-year  positive  adjusted  EBITDA,  improved  cash 
conversion  and  many  operational  highlights  including  further  regulatory  approvals,  and  new  and  improved 
relationships with our many partners. The diligent focus of our highly motivated team is allowing us to broaden 
the Group’s capacity, continue to grow the business at an impressive rate and, importantly, build shareholder 
value.  The  Board  of  Tissue  Regenix  is  confident  and  excited  about  the  future  and  looks  forward  to  further 
significant progress in 2024.” 

Jonathan Glenn, Chair 

2023 performance  
The Group’s performance continued the positive trajectory set over the past three years, achieving numerous 
milestones over the reporting period. We saw record revenues for the Group, with top-line revenue growth of 20% 
during FY2023. This faster than market growth was driven by the continued adoption of our products through 
our strategic partners as well as our direct distribution activities. The combination of sales growth and a tight 
focus on overheads translated into positive adjusted EBITDA* for the year – a first for Tissue Regenix – and 
contributed  to  an  increase  in  our  cash  balance  over  the  second  half  of  2023.  These  results  could  not  have 
happened without the hard work and dedication of all the employees of the Group. We are proud of what we have 
achieved so far and believe that a bright future lies ahead for Tissue Regenix.

Strategy 
Our focus on the 4S strategic elements of Supply, Sales Revenue, Sustainability and Scale continues to provide 
the foundation of how we operate, execute and drive growth.  

The continued investment that we are making and the focus we are placing on tissue Supply has enabled us to 
sustain and grow in line with our business needs as well as manage the inventories more efficiently and provide 
tissue to other tissue processors. Processing capacity, another key element in Supply, has kept pace with the 
Group’s growth despite resource-related headwinds, as experienced more broadly across numerous industries.  

Our focus on Sales Revenue and Sustainability has been realised in revenue growth and a positive adjusted 
EBITDA for the year. Our ability to increase our cash balance in the second half of 2023 was a milestone for the 
organisation and a further demonstration of Sustainability.  

Obtaining the regulatory approvals for our third-party logistics partner provides us the opportunity and flexibility 
to Scale our allograft business in markets outside the U.S. (‘OUS’).  

The Group’s solid 4S foundation enables us to continue growth plans for Tissue Regenix and deliver shareholder 
value. 

Growth pillars 
The 4S strategy enables us to support defined tactical activities moving forward. In 2023, we implemented clearly 
defined growth pillars to provide further direction and help sustain the growth trajectory for the Group.  

The four growth pillars are: 

1.

Base Business  
We will continue to grow our core businesses with our existing and new partners/distributors through the 
BioRinse and dCELL product lines. This base business includes existing specialities and geographic markets. 
We will support this growth with logical new product enhancements and clinical- or market-related activities. 
This growth will also be supported by our current infrastructure and planned capacity enhancements.

2.

Tissue Partnerships  
Our focus on tissue supply is at the core of our growth as it drives our capacity. We have built supply volumes 
that exceed our internal needs, so we have the opportunity to provide donor tissue to other tissue processors 
(‘Released Donor Tissue’). We also have the responsibility of meeting the donor’s desire to have their tissue 
utilised  to  help  others  in  a  safe  and  expeditious  manner.  Our  tissue  supply  operation  adds  value  by 
performing the medical reviews and chart releases required for tissue suitable for immediate processing by 
other domestic and OUS partners. These activities help us to manage our recovery partner relationships 
and provide opportunities for tissue that we currently do not utilise in our processing operations. 

3. Market Expansion  

We will continue to broaden the markets for our products via a two-pronged approach. The need for tissue-
based products in the surgical marketplace is substantial, and we currently participate in limited segments. 
We intend to expand into additional surgical specialities by first generating clinical experience at institutions 
where we have an existing base business. This will serve as the stepping stone for expansion with additional 
customers and institutions.  

We also plan to expand into markets that have a need for allograft tissue-based products but currently have 
limited availability. Our establishment and receipt of approval to distribute tissue through a third-party 
logistics partner provides the conduit for opportunities into the EU. OrthoPure XT, our xenograft tissue 
product, received a CE Mark in 2020, and we continue to identify opportunities to distribute this product in 
markets that recognise the CE Mark. 

4.

Regulatory Evolution  
The bulk of our revenue comes from allograft tissue-based products, which are regulated as Section 361 
HCTP (Human, Cell and Tissue Products) in the U.S. The requirements mandated for Section 361 products 
place limits on changes to the allograft tissue; if one works beyond these limits then the product will need 
to  be  regulated  as  a  medical  device.  Our  facility  in  San  Antonio  has  been  established  to  meet  the 
requirements of producing Section 361 products. We intend to evolve and change this facility to become 
one that is capable of meeting medical device requirements. This evolution will give us the opportunity to 
innovate with human tissue and broaden opportunities for Tissue Regenix to distribute tissue into certain 
international markets that regulate human tissue allografts as medical devices.  

BioRinse 
The  BioRinse  portfolio  was  our  top  performer  over  the  financial  year,  reporting  sales  of  USD20,133k  (2022: 
USD16,049k), driven by the U.S. orthopaedics, wound care and dental markets. The 25% year-on-year growth was 
led by confidence in our Concelltrate, AmnioWorks and other demineralised bone matrix (‘DBM’) products in addition 
to our Released Donor Tissue relationships. Our ability to supply these products in 2022 translated into 2023 
through the conviction of our strategic partners to increase their orders and grow their respective businesses. Our 
customers expect a level of service, and we remain flexible and responsive to our customers’ needs.  

We continue to grow at above-market rates due to the superior performance of our products, excellent customer 
service and adaptability to customer needs. Our growth rate is above market for the period, but there is still opportunity 
for additional growth. We saw greater than 20% growth from the prior year within our top five product families.  

Our focus on supply ensures an adequate and continuous supply of donated human tissue. As stewards of the 
gift of human tissue donation, we use every effort to ensure that the tissue is utilised to produce our high-quality 
products. Our management of human tissue donation and the processing of the tissue to meet product demands 
can result in excess tissue in our inventories. We have been able to utilise these inventories, complete the medical 
review and release process and provide these value-added tissues to other processors for their own needs. This 
ultimately meets our obligation to make sure that the donated human tissue is used efficiently.  

In 2023, after some unanticipated regulatory delays, we received approval to distribute tissue from our third-party 
logistics partner in the Republic of Ireland. This approval has opened up additional markets within the EU. We also 
announced  our  agreement  with  Spineart  España  to  distribute  allograft  tissue  into  Spain.  Other  markets  and 
agreements  are  still  in  the  discussion  phase  as  our  plan  is  to  explore  opportunities  for  focused  commercial 
distribution in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (‘EMEA’) markets.

dCELL 
In 2023, the commercial reorganisation of the dCELL business continued to provide growth opportunities for this 
division. dCELL is a direct business with a regional sales management team managing distributors in their 
respective territories. This business is highly impacted by Group Purchasing Organization (‘GPO’) approvals for 
our products, which we currently have with the top five GPOs. As a result, we have placed management in areas 
that align with our approvals and will continue to pursue opportunities to help us achieve coverage over the entire 
U.S. market. To increase our coverage footprint, we have targeted areas where we have already established 
business. In 2023, our aim was to add 32 new distributors over the year. Pleasingly, we more than doubled that 
goal by adding 66 distributors by 31 December 2023, and, as a result, revenue growth for this division increased 
17% year on year to USD6,183k (2022: USD5,301k).  

The  OrthoPure®  XT  product  is  the  only  non-human  biologic  tissue  graft  available  for  certain  ligament 
reconstruction procedures. In 2022, we introduced this product into two new markets and added the UK in 2023. 
Our efforts to expand distribution into Australia were impacted by regulatory approval delays. Additional markets 
were temporarily put on hold as we resolved inventory issues in Leeds. Efforts to expand distribution opportunities 
will resume this year. 

In 2023, clinical use and traction of the OrthoPure XT device continued to gain momentum in Italy, and we expect 
the initial positive Italian experiences of the OrthoPure XT in broader clinical use to be presented at the European 
Society of Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy (‘ESSKA’) meeting in 2024. The manuscript on the 
five-year  clinical  experience  from  the  initial  regulatory  approval  study  is  in  final  preparation  and  planned  for 
submission to a major European publication. During 2023, we also conducted a retrospective study reviewing 
DermaPure® use in addressing Achilles tendinopathy. A poster has been presented at the 2024 American College of 
Foot and Ankle Surgeons meeting, and a manuscript is to be submitted for publication soon after the event. 

GBM-V 
The GBM-V joint venture operates in a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) level facility that has been producing 
commercial corneal products since 2016. In 2023, the joint venture faced supply issues in Germany due to 
customers requiring the donor tissue to be sourced from donors who not only were COVID free but also had no 
history of COVID infection. While this impacted the growth of tissue supply, the joint venture realised USD3,177k 
(2022: USD3,126k) of revenue, which was marginally up on the prior year. Demand for corneal tissue continues 
to outpace supply, and efforts to minimise COVID concerns, alongside efforts by our tissue recovery partner to 
increase supply, will continue in 2024. 

New strategic partners and distributors 
During 2023, we achieved commercial milestones for the Group as we saw record revenue months across all our 
human tissue product families – musculoskeletal, dermis and amnion. These milestones were achieved through 
the growth of our commercial partners and securing additional strategic partnerships/distributor relationships. 

For BioRinse, our top customers remained consistent from the prior year. We saw a 13% increase in the number 
of units shipped but a 2% decrease in the number of orders we processed due to a trend towards larger orders. 
In 2023, we signed BioRinse agreements with five new strategic partners and six stocking distributors who target 
specialities such as the spine and dental markets. 

For dCELL, the number of distributors added by the end of the year was 206% greater than targeted. Overall 
revenue was up 17% versus the prior year, which represented record annual revenue for this division. The number 
of products invoiced for dCELL products increased by 3% versus the prior year, and the revenue increase was due 
in  large  part  to  our  product  mix  shifting  to  those  with  higher  Average  Selling  Prices  (‘ASPs’).  Our  meshed 
DermaPure products helped to drive this revenue increase, and this sales traction is expected to continue into 
2024. 

We continued to pursue the commercialisation of products that utilise our core technology platforms, provide 
product line extensions that are faster to market, address a specific clinical or commercial need and have a 
customer  in  place.  In  2023,  due  to  customer  requests,  we  introduced  a  smaller  DermaPure  Mesh  product. 
To address market expectations for our sports medicine tendon grafts, we implemented new processing protocols 
and reagents to improve product safety and implemented a low-dose sterilisation process.

Chair & Chief Executive Officer’s Statement 

continued

We  added  UK  distribution  of  the  OrthoPure  XT  in  2023.  Further  adoption  of  this  unique  product  into  select 
European markets was impacted by mid-year production issues related to a bioburden spike within the processing 
line at our Leeds facility. The temporary halt to production affected inventory availability, so we paused market 
expansion during this period as we needed existing inventory to service current customers. Despite this brief 
setback, we look forward to the resumption of discussions with additional EU distribution partners.  

During 2023, we continued to pursue our global commercialisation plans for our tissue-based products. We have 
already described how our third-party logistics partner in the Republic of Ireland will be central to our human 
allograft tissue opportunities in the EMEA region. We signed an agreement with a Chinese distributor for our 
OrthoPure XT product and have initiated the regulatory approval process for China, which required a regulatory 
submission, and a human clinical evaluation in China is planned. The resources needed for this involved process 
are being shared with our distribution partner. Another notable example of the global market demand for our 
OrthoPure XT product was adding a distributor in Australia. The CE mark for this product is recognised in Australia, 
although additional regulatory approvals are required there before marketing. The review process in Australia has 
been slower than anticipated due to the volume of submissions within the Therapeutic Goods Administration.  

Expanding demand for our existing products with new and existing partners as well as product line extensions 
and product improvements are anticipated to drive our continued organic growth in 2024 and further utilise our 
facility and tissues. 

Operations 
2023 was another year of growth for the Group as we continued operations throughout the year at all our locations 
without significant impacts from any external influences.  

For our allograft tissue business, the supply of donor tissue is directly linked to our growth plans. To meet the 
need of our commercial partners and our focus on Supply, in 2023, we sourced 31% more musculoskeletal and 
dermis donors and released 38% more donors versus the prior year. These shifts reflected the demand for our 
processing of musculoskeletal donors and demand from other tissue processors for our Released Donor Tissue.  

In 2022, we implemented a programme to help us manage the inventory of Released Donor Tissue by making 
some of it available to other processing companies. All tissue we receive needs to go through an internal review 
and release process to ensure the safety and quality of the tissue before it is processed. We continue to expand 
our relationships with other tissue processors located domestically or outside the U.S. who wish to have access 
to this tissue. This segment of our business has grown dramatically over the prior year and has become one of 
the growth pillars for our organisation. This programme aligns with our responsibility to honour the gift of tissue 
donation through utilisation in a timely manner into products that can help patients. 

The addition of two sterile packaging rooms in the existing San Antonio facility from our Phase 1 expansion in 
2021 brought the total number of clean rooms to seven and provided additional capacity and flexibility. We 
continue to identify ways in which we can be more efficient with the flexibility we now have with room utilisation 
and processing scheduling. As a result, we have been able to respond to orders or unanticipated changes in 
almost half the amount of time prior to the Phase 1 expansion. These rooms effectively provide approximately 
USD40m of revenue generation potential and delayed our need for the Phase 2 expansion and its 8–10 additional 
clean rooms until 2025, and we do not anticipate the need for additional equity funding for this further expansion. 

In late 2023, we implemented Sage X3, an enterprise resource planning (‘ERP’) system, in our U.S. operations. 
This ERP product is used to manage financial aspects of the business, and we believe that this investment will 
significantly increase efficiencies for the Group. The transition from our legacy system has been smooth, and we 
continue to refine the system to meet the needs of all groups within the organisation. The implementation of Sage 
X3 was a multi-year effort involving all segments of the business and two consulting groups and is a strong 
strategic investment for the Group that will support our growth plans.  

We believe that the contribution of increased processing efficiency, increased capacity and state-of-the-art 
systems will allow us to enjoy improved gross margins over time.

The pandemic is behind us   
In the U.S., the issues of healthcare institution staff shortages still exist in some geographic areas. We have seen 
elective procedure volumes improve. Supply chain issues have been improved, but costs across all aspects of our 
operations have increased since the pandemic. We will absorb most of these increases through efficiencies in our 
operation. We began the year with issues related to labour shortages, but by year end we saw some normalisation 
with respect to candidates applying for open positions at our U.S. business. 

Organisational changes 
We  will  continue  to  invest  in  resources  that  will  grow  our  organisation  across  all  divisions.  Additions  and 
adjustments to our commercial team in BioRinse and dCELL will seek to bring additional commercial opportunities 
to our organisation and spread Tissue Regenix’s footprint in the U.S. and OUS.  

Outlook 
Sales Revenue and Sustainability will continue to be the priorities of the 4S’s in 2024. We will continue to build on 
this base to provide a more solid foundation for the future. Our four growth pillars are the tactical areas of focus 
that will be built on this foundation. 

The BioRinse products will continue to be the dominant revenue contributor in 2024. Growth will come from 
existing and new partners as well as new products. Our dCELL business is also expected to show further growth 
as we expand into new domestic territories where we historically have not had much presence. We will also use 
our current footholds to expand into other surgical specialities, such as oncology and colorectal surgery, as 
clinicians become familiar with our practise areas. The inventory of Released Donor Tissue will be distributed to 
other processors who have a need for tissue that is ready to be processed. Our GBM-V joint venture will continue 
to identify opportunities to increase their tissue supply and address any issues that have impacted their growth. 

Our geographic outreach with our human tissue dCELL and BioRinse portfolios is only just beginning as we have 
our registered logistics partner, which provides the opportunity to move into numerous EU markets. We will also 
seek  registrations  and  distribution  partners  in  other  OUS  markets  for  our  human  allograft.  Interim  supply 
challenges are behind us, and OrthoPure XT will be introduced into additional EU and other markets in 2024. 

Our evolution into a medical device manufacturer will provide us the flexibility to be more innovative with our 
products versus 361 HCTP products. A medical device registration is rare for a tissue processor of our size but 
positions us well to consider not only novel products but also entry into markets that regulate allograft tissue as 
a medical device. 

In  2024,  we  will  begin  some  of  the  preliminary  planning  activities  to  build  our  Phase  2  capacity  expansion. 
In addition to our organic growth plans, we will continue to examine acquisition opportunities that would allow 
us to scale the business for additional longer-term growth. 

In 2021, the Board of Tissue Regenix set in place our 4S strategy. It has been a highly successful strategy for the 
Group and continues to provide structure and clear direction for everything that we do. Three years later, we are 
in a strong position, with market-leading products that are distributed globally, production facilities that allow us 
to fulfil our current growth ambitions, a balance sheet to support these growth opportunities and a team of people 
that are motivated, talented and driven with a very clear idea of where we are taking the business. I am proud to 
be a part of the Tissue Regenix Group and excited for its future prospects in 2024 and beyond.

Financial Review 

Statement of Comprehensive Income 
Revenue 
During the year ended 31 December 2023, revenue increased by 20% to USD29,493k (2022: USD24,476k). 

The Group experienced growth across all three key business segments for the year, as more fully described below: 

l        The BioRinse segment increased top-line sales by 25% to USD20,133k (2022: USD16,049k), driven by growth 
in Released Donor Tissue and continued growth across the allograft segments, led by the AmnioWorks and 
Concelltrate 100 product families. 

l        Revenue from the dCELL division increased by 17% to USD6,183k (2022: USD5,301k) as the commercial 

reorganisation implemented in 2022 continued to mature. 

l        The  Group’s  joint  venture,  GBM-V,  based  in  Rostock,  Germany,  grew  modestly  by  2%  to  USD3,177k 

(2022: USD3,126k). 

Cost of sales and gross profit 
Gross  profit  for  the  year  was  USD14,040k  (2022:  USD11,258k).  Gross  margin  percentage  increased  to 
48% (2022: 46%).  

Included in costs of sales is cost of product – USD13,750k (2022: USD12,013k) – and third-party commissions 
– USD1,703k (2022: USD1,205k). 

Administrative expenses 
During 2023, administrative expenses increased by USD1,166k, or 9%, to USD14,434k (2022: USD13,268k), driven 
primarily by additional staffing costs. 

Adjusted EBITDA 
During 2023, the Group reported adjusted EBITDA of USD925k (2022 loss: USD626k). This shift into positive 
adjusted EBITDA was driven by increased sales revenue and gross margin percentage and aided by management 
of administrative expenses to achieve operating leverage. In 2023, EBITDA was USD583k (2022 loss:  USD875k) 
and is adjusted for share based payments of USD342k (2022:  USD249k). 

Finance income/charges 
Finance  income  of  USD26k  (2022:  USD8k)  primarily  represented  interest  earned  on  cash  deposits.  Finance 
charges for the year were reported at USD1,301k (2022: USD826k) and related primarily to interest charges and 
associated costs in respect of the MidCap Financial Trust (‘MidCap’) loan arrangement. Included in finance 
charges for 2023 is USD248k relating to a financing fee associated with the former MidCap loan termination. 

Loss for the year 
The loss for the year was USD1,657k (2022: loss: USD2,596k), resulting in a basic loss per share of 2.43 cents 
(2022: loss per share: 3.83 cents). The reduction in the loss for the year was driven by the increases in sales 
revenue and gross margin percentage. 

Taxation 
The Group continues to invest in developing its product offering and, as such, is eligible to submit enhanced 
research and development tax claims, enabling it to exchange tax losses for a cash refund. In the year to December 
2023, a refund of USD352k was receivable (2022: USD401k). The year-on-year reduction was a result of the 
collection of aged research and development credits during 2023. 

Income tax payable in the U.S. amounted to USD310k (2022: USD nil). Gross tax losses carried forward in the UK 
were USD60,361k (2022: USD58,900k). The Group does not currently pay tax in the UK. A deferred tax asset has 
not been recognised as the timing and recoverability of the tax losses remain uncertain.

Financial Review 

continued

Statement of Financial Position 
As at December 2023, the Group had net assets of USD29,355k (2022: USD30,401k), of which cash in hand totalled 
USD4,650k (2022: USD5,949k). 

Inventory levels decreased 5% against the 20% sales revenue increase at USD10,358k (2022: USD10,882k) as the 
BioRinse and dCELL segments managed stock levels closely to increase inventory turnover while also keeping 
adequate stock levels to meet customer demand. The Released Donor Tissue offering of the BioRinse segment 
turns over more rapidly than processed grafts. 

Intangible  assets  increased  slightly  to  USD15,135k  (2022:  USD15,061k)  in  the  year.  A  further  USD450k  of 
development costs, relating primarily to clinical research, were capitalised in the year (2022: USD709k). The 
balance of movements in this account relate to amortisation and exchange adjustments. 

The Directors carried out the annual impairment review, as required by IAS 36, to determine whether there was 
any requirement for an impairment provision in respect of its goodwill as at 31 December 2023. 

The results of the test indicated that the recoverable amount of the Group’s non-current assets was at least equal 
to the carrying amount of those assets and, therefore, no provision for impairment was required as at 31 December 
2023 (2022: USD nil). See notes 4 and 14. 

Working capital increased slightly in the year to USD9,705k (2022: USD9,442k), driven by a decrease in payables 
made possible by improved debtor collections and lower inventory investment. As mentioned above, the Released 
Donor Tissue offering of the BioRinse segment turns over more rapidly, which speeds up the sales cycle, allowing 
for faster cash generation. The Statement of Financial Position includes income tax receivable of USD352k 
(2022: USD401k) in respect of UK research and development tax credits. 

Loans and borrowings and lease liability 
Borrowings include the USD5,985k debt facility through MidCap and the USD3,410k lease liability related to the 
Group’s leasehold in San Antonio (2022: USD6,258k and USD3,350k, respectively). The MidCap debt facility 
includes USD2,000k in respect of the term loan and USD4,148k in respect of the revolving credit facility, net of 
USD163k of capitalised debt issue costs. In January 2023, the Group elected to increase its current revolving 
credit facility from USD5,000k to USD10,000k and extend the maturity until 2028. Repayment of the term loan in 
equal instalments commenced in February 2024. See Note 19. 

Dividend 
No dividend has been proposed for the year to 31 December 2023 (2022: nil). 

Accounting policies 
The Group’s consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International 
Accounting Standards (‘UK-adopted IAS’). The Group’s significant accounting policies, which have been applied 
consistently throughout the year, are set out on pages 43 to 50. 

Going concern 
The Group financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis based on cash flow projections 
approved by the Board for the Group for the period to 31 December 2025 (the ‘Cash Flow Projections’). Funding 
requirements are reviewed on a regular basis by the Group’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer 
and are reported to the Board at each Board meeting, as well as on an ad hoc basis if requested. Until sufficient 
cash is generated from its operations, the Group remains reliant on cash reserves of USD4,650k at 31 December 
2023 and the ongoing support of MidCap (borrowings of USD5,985k at 31 December 2023) and other lending 
institutions  to  meet  its  working  capital  requirements,  capital  investment  programme  and  other  financial 
commitments. Repayment on the MidCap borrowings commenced in February 2024.

Financial Review 

continued

In compiling the Cash Flow Projections, the Board has considered a downside scenario regarding the effect of 
reduced and delayed revenues due to slower market uptake of the Group’s product offerings. The Cash Flow 
Projections prepared by the Board, including the downside scenario, indicate that the Group will still have cash 
reserves at the end of the forecast period. The Group’s Cash Flow Projections assume that the MidCap revolving 
credit facility is available throughout the forecast period and that the term loan repayment begins in 2024. The 
availability of these facilities is dependent upon compliance with a rolling 12-month revenue covenant that is 
measured on a monthly basis. The Cash Flow Projections, including the downside scenario, indicate compliance 
with this covenant throughout the forecast period.  

In summary, the Directors have considered their obligations in relation to the assessment of the going concern 
basis for the preparation of the financial statements of the Group and have reviewed the Cash Flow Projections, 
including the downside scenario. On the basis of their assessment, they have concluded that the going concern 
basis remains appropriate for use in these financial statements.

Market Overview  

The Group addresses three main segments of the healthcare market, all of which are billion-dollar opportunities 
and forecast to grow rapidly over the next five years: the bone graft substitute market, the skin substitute market 
and the soft tissue biologics market. 

Bone graft substitutes market 
According to GRc Market Insights, (in a bespoke market research report) in 2023, there were 4.3 million bone graft 
and bone graft substitute procedures, of which two million were performed in the U.S., and the market experienced 
a 3.7% growth rate compared with 2022. Bone grafts and bone graft substitutes are most often used in surgical 
cases where there is a breakage in the bone or there is a void in or between the bones due to several factors, such 
as age and degenerative diseases. The bone graft/bone graft substitute market comprises allograft (donor tissue) 
bone chips/particulates, synthetic bone graft substitutes, bone morphogenetic proteins (‘BMPs’)/growth factors, 
DBMs and cell-based matrices. Globally, the market was worth USD3.9b in 2023 and is projected to reach USD6.0b 
by 2029 with a CAGR of 6.1%. While, historically, autograft (self-donated) bone was considered the gold-standard 
treatment for patients requiring bone grafts, the amount of autograft bone available is often insufficient, and the 
graft-harvesting procedure presents a number of comorbidities, including donor site pain and infection. As a result, 
a rising demand for alternatives to autograft bone has been observed. Due to the continued increase of bone graft 
procedures, a continued shift towards biologically active bone graft substitutes, such as DBM products, are expected. 

The Group focusses on the DBM market, which is worth USD660m globally in 2023 and is projected to grow to 
over USD800m by 2027. The US DBM market size is over USD330m and is part of the bone substitute market, 
which approximates USD1.5b and is growing at a CAGR of 4.1% (2023–2028). The market drivers of growth in 
this segment are listed below: 

l        Increasing procedure volume of spinal fusion, trauma fixation and joint reconstruction and dental surgeries 

due to growing aging and obese populations 

l        Companies’  continued  efforts  on  product  innovation  and  line  extension  to  create  a  comprehensive 

Orthobiologics platform 

l        Ongoing research for materials that promote the bone healing triad: osteoinductivity, osteoconductivity and 

osteogenesis 

Key competitors in this segment include Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation, LifeNet, RTI Surgical, Community 
Tissue Services, AlloSource and XTANT. 

Skin substitute market 
According to the market research firm Biomed GPS, the U.S. wound biologics market primarily services non-healing 
chronic wounds, estimated to be 7 million annually. Hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers are 
projected to grow 2.0% and 2.4%, respectively, over the next five years and will account for nearly half of all 
hard-to-heal wounds. Approximately 14.5% of U.S. Medicare beneficiaries have at least one type of wound or 
wound-related infection. The U.S. wound biologics market comprises skin substitutes/cell tissue products, topical 
delivery/drugs and collagen/active dressings. The largest segment in 2023 was skin substitutes at USD1.8b. Skin 
substitutes consist of five segments, including allograft products, both dermal and amniotic, xenografts (animal 
tissue), cell-based bioengineered and synthetic products. A crackdown on reimbursement in the physician office 
to enforce reimbursement at average selling price +6% versus wholesale acquisition cost negatively impacted 
revenue for those companies active in this segment during 2022 and will continue into 2023. 

In addition to an aging population and rising prevalence of chronic wounds, the market drivers of growth in this 
segment are listed below: 

l        The  use  of  skin  substitutes  provides  an  alternative  therapy  to  heal  chronic  wounds,  showing  superior 
efficacy. 

l        Increased awareness of advanced therapies, such as skin substitutes. 

l        Expansion of wound care clinics, mobile wound care clinics,and wound care specialists treating chronic 

wounds.

Key competitors in this segment include Organogenisis, Integra, MiMedx and ColoPlast. 

Soft tissue biologics market 
According to GRc Market Insights, in 2023, there were 2.5 million global soft tissue ortho-biologic procedures. 
Soft tissue biologics are used in surgical procedures to replace, reinforce or repair tendons or ligaments that have 
been torn or damaged in the human body. They are made from substances that are naturally found in the body. 
Soft tissue biologics comprise either autografts, allografts, xenografts (animal tissue–based products, including 
OrthoPure XT) or synthetic grafts and used in regeneration and repair of the musculoskeletal tissues. A growing 
interest in exercise and recreational sports is contributing to an increased number of sports injuries worldwide, 
which  is  driving  the  number  of  orthopaedic  soft  tissue  reconstruction  procedures.  Increased  prevalence  of 
orthopaedic injuries amongst the aging population across the globe and the choice of treatment methods that 
restore body function with minimum side effects further contribute to the increased demand of orthopaedic soft 
tissue reconstruction procedures. In 2023, from an orthopaedic soft tissue perspective, North America, Europe, 
Asia-Pacific and Middle East/Africa represented USD3.0b in total annual demand in 2023, with a 5.1% CAGR 
(2023–2028). The market drivers of growth in this segment are:  

l        Increasing number of sports injuries  

l        Increasing aging and obese population worldwide 

l        Increasing prevalence of orthopaedic medical conditions 

l        Widespread adoption of arthroscopic treatment techniques 

l        Increasing physician and patient education in emerging markets 

Key competitors in this segment include Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation, LifeNet, RTI Surgical, Community 
Tissue Services, AlloSource and Corin Group. 

Principal risk and uncertainties 
The Directors continually identify, monitor and manage the risks and uncertainties of the Group. The Group 
maintains  a  comprehensive  risk  register,  which  is  regularly  reviewed  by  the  Board  as  part  of  these  risk 
management responsibilities. Risk is inherent in all businesses, and the Group acts to manage these risks. Set 
out below are certain risk factors that could have an impact on the Group’s long-term performance and mitigating 
factors adopted to alleviate these risks. This list does not purport to be an exhaustive summary of the risks 
affecting the Group. 

Commercial 

Competition risk 
Should there be a competitive product that outperforms one of the Group’s products, we could lose customers 
and distribution opportunities. Should a competitor bring a product to market before us, they could potentially 
have an advantage in gaining market share. We continually monitor the commercial and competitive landscape 
and look to stay ahead of the trend with innovative product development and line extensions. The Group works 
with partners to identify potential market opportunities. The Group also collects post-marketing clinical data to 
ensure that the product offering remains differentiated. 

Customer concentration 
The Group has a number of key customers, however, should the Group be overdependent on a single customer 
and not maintain a diversified customer base, it could become exposed if that customer reduced their ordering 
pattern or moved their business elsewhere. In this case, the Group could be subject to material sales revenue 
losses and also experience an excess of inventory that had been processed in line with expectations. In 2023, 
one customer accounted for 13% of the Group’s revenue (2022: one customer with 13% of the Group’s revenue). 
The Group continues to augment its product portfolio with line extensions and new product launches providing 
diversified clinical applications. During 2023, the Group announced three new products for the dCELL and BioRinse

Market Overview

segment. The Group can reduce this risk with distribution of its products into multiple disciplines and, in some 
cases,  with  multiple  customers  in  the  same  discipline  and  with  a  hybrid  network  of  strategic  partners  and 
distributors as well as direct sales. 

Operational 

Human resources 
The Group has a high level of reliance on the skills and knowledge of its management and employees, many 
of  whom  have  considerable  sector  experience  or  other  specialist  expertise,  making  them  attractive  to 
competitors  and  not  always  easy  to  replace.  As  the  Group  continues  to  scale  and  to  expand  its  market 
presence, our requirements for high-calibre people continue to increase. The loss of key staff could potentially 
weaken the Group’s operational/management capabilities, potentially impeding its ability to grow or maintain 
efficient operations. To mitigate this risk, the Group maintains competitive incentive and reward structures, 
which are benchmarked against industry standards. The compensation levels are designed to be attractive 
to existing employees and enable us to continue to attract high-quality applicants for new roles. As a regulated 
business,  we  have  clearly  defined  roles  and  responsibilities,  supported  by  documented  systems  and 
procedures, to provide a level of continuity in the event that an employee leaves the Group. Finally, suitable 
legal agreements are in place with management and employees to include necessary confidentiality and 
non-compete clauses. 

Tissue supply 
As our products are based around human and animal tissue, failure to source high-quality, ethically handled 
tissues could result in the inability to produce products in line with specifications and therefore incur lost sales 
revenue, reputational damage, customer dissatisfaction and potential regulatory breaches. To address this risk, 
we have an experienced donor services department in the U.S., which has expanded the number of donor agencies 
that we work with in the U.S. All suppliers are comprehensively qualified to meet the Group’s internal standards 
and those imposed by third-party moderators. 

Manufacturing capacity 
Our commercial strategy is built around the establishment of successful strategic and distribution partnerships, 
which increase the demand on our production and manufacturing capabilities. If we are unable to expand in line 
with this demand, this could result in a loss of business through customer dissatisfaction and reputational 
damage. To address this potential constraint, the Group completed a capacity expansion in 2021 that provides 
processing capacity of approximately USD40 million.  

Finance and IT 

Finance 
We require investment into our working capital and infrastructure to bring our product portfolio to market and 
service the increasing demand from our current and future customers. Without this, the Group will be unable to 
deliver the anticipated future revenue growth. The equity fundraiser in June 2020 provided both investment and 
working capital, which is expected to fund the Group to profitability; however, the lingering effect of COVID-19 on 
elective surgeries has historically altered the timeline to profitability. The Group increased its revolving credit 
facility from USD5 million to USD10 million and extended the maturity to 2028, which can provide non-dilutive 
financing. To the extent that additional funds are required, there are no assurances that these funds could be 
raised, and if they could, if those terms would be non-dilutive to current shareholders. To address these risks, the 
Board has oversight of all significant cash spends and a well-established control environment, which includes 
internal forecasting, monthly reporting and approval limits on all purchase orders. To maintain the cash position, 
the Company reviews business priorities and demands to ensure that funds are invested in the most appropriate 
manner to deliver a return on investment and grow the business. 

Information technology 
The Group is reliant upon information systems in all aspects of its operations. Any failure of systems could impact 
the  Group’s  ability  to  process  and  distribute  products,  lead  to  a  data  security  breach  and  loss  of  financial 
information and have potential financial implications. The Group was subject to a cybersecurity incident in January 

Annual Report and Accounts 2023 13

Market Overview  

continued

2020. No ongoing material impact to the business was experienced, however, processing and production was 
temporarily halted at the San Antonio facility while the restoration and testing of systems was completed. The 
Group  has  since  upgraded  its  IT  service  providers  and  implemented  additional  security  procedures.  These 
procedures are continually reviewed and updated as required. The Group has an established disaster recovery 
plan and ensures that secure backups are held off-site in case of a breach. Finally, a global cybersecurity insurance 
policy has been put in place to help offset the financial impact of a future breach. 

Clinical/Regulatory 

Product liability risk 
Should a product fail upon implantation or incur an adverse reaction due to the product properties, the Group 
would be at risk of legal action, potential loss of sales revenue through product retraction from the market and 
reputational damage. To address these risks, before commercialisation, a series of quality assurance, clinical and 
safety checks are run dependent on the nature of the product, and comprehensive training is provided. In addition, 
the Group maintains quality management systems that are compliant with the local markets in which we operate. 
Product liability insurance is in place in case of adverse events or other negative outcomes. 

Licensure/accreditation 
As the Group operates in a highly regulated environment, the loss of a license to manufacture or sell products 
within a territory would result in reputational and financial damage to the Company. The Group employs regulatory 
experts and consultants for each territory in which manufacturing takes place or where the Group looks to navigate 
a regulatory clearance for a product. The Group maintains quality management systems and has a track record 
of positive feedback following external audits and operates in established controlled environments to minimise 
potential process variations. 

Impact of regulatory changes 
In line with licensure and accreditation, the Group operates in a highly regulated environment. Biologics is an 
area of high growth, and additional regulatory standards and requirements are subject to change in any market 
in which we participate. Internally and with the help of regulatory experts, we seek to understand and review 
our  compliance  with  any  pending  regulatory  changes.  As  an  example,  May  2021  marked  the  end  of  the 
discretionary compliance and enforcement policy for Certain Human Cells, Tissues, or Cellular or Tissue-based 
Products (HCT/Ps) by the U.S. FDA. This did not require any changes for our Group at this time. In 2023, the 
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services considered significant changes to the physician office and hospital 
outpatient  reimbursement  for  skin  substitutes  and  wound  care  products,  including  amnion  (birth  tissue 
products), which could have affected the BioRinse segment. These changes were not implemented but could 
be revisited in the future.  We have implemented regulatory activities designed to mitigate the risks of future 
reimbursement changes. 

Political and economic risk 
Group performance could be adversely impacted by factors beyond our control, such as the economic conditions 
in key markets and political uncertainty. The macroeconomic climate and continued uncertainty surrounding the 
impact of Brexit on the UK economy, the U.S. political and economic landscape and the continued disruptions 
caused by the Ukraine and Gaza conflicts could negatively affect the Group’s ability to commercialise its products. 
An  economic  downturn,  fiscal  or  monetary  policy  changes,  continued  inflationary  pressures  or  unexpected 
developments linked to worsening economic or political conditions may have a negative impact on sales revenue 
and  profit.  The  Group  monitors  macroeconomic  developments  to  ensure  that  it  responds  swiftly  as  they 
materialise. 

Lingering effects of the pandemic 
The global economy continues to face uncertainty due to the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which 
has, and may continue to have, a significant impact on global healthcare procedures, supply chains, capital 
markets and commodity prices as well as effects at the Group level with respect to staffing shortages and 
component and material supply chain shortages. During 2023, the Group remained flexible and proactive in 
responding to and addressing its needs by expanding its supply chain while still growing the sales line.

Financial risk management 
The Group has instigated certain risk management policies covering financial assets and liabilities, which are set 
out in note 26 to the financial statements. 

Key performance indicators 
The Group’s key performance indicators (‘KPIs’) include a range of financial and non-financial measures. The 
Board considers the main financial KPIs for the Group to be sales revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA and cash 
resources (see the Chair and Chief Executive Officer’s statement on pages 3 to 7). The Board also considers non-
financial KPIs, such as new distribution agreements signed, measuring clinical data collection, new account wins, 
improving the product development portfolio, employee retention, employee engagement, internal employee 
promotions/skill level increases and increasing manufacturing capacity and supply.

Section 172 Statement

The Directors acknowledge their duty under S.172 of the Companies Act 2006 and consider that they have, both 
individually and together, acted in the way that, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the 
Company for the benefit of its members as a whole. In doing so, they have had regard (amongst other matters) to: 

The likely consequences of any decision in the long term. The Group’s long-term strategy is outlined on page 3 of 
this report. The principal risks and uncertainties are discussed on pages 12 to 13 of this report. Throughout the year, 
management and Directors look to meet with, and update, institutional and retail investors through a variety of 
platforms, be it by face-to-face meeting, telephone conversation, the annual general meeting (‘AGM’), or retail investor 
forum, website, social media or news announcements. Key topics of engagement for investors throughout the year 
were around: the increased capacity as a result of the completion of the Phase 1 expansion in the BioRinse segment, 
planned new product introductions, the results of the commercial reorganisation of the dCELL division and full-year 
and interim financial results and reports. 

The interests of the Group’s employees. The long-term success of the Group is built around our highly skilled 
and experienced workforce. Our technicians are highly specialised, and we have world-class processing and 
development expertise at all facilities. We look to create an environment where all employees can excel, and we 
value both practical experience and academic qualifications. We believe in investing in our workforce to maintain 
a low turnover rate and build an agile and adaptive workforce who can successfully navigate the ever-evolving 
industry landscape to maintain our competitive positioning. We support employees with further education and 
qualifications and provide a remuneration and benefits framework that supports a healthy work/life balance and 
is competitive with industry standards. Key topics of engagement for employees throughout the year were around: 
lunch and learn sessions that exposed the employees to the workings of other departments to gain a better 
understanding of the company’s operations and an updated and improved health and safety programme at the 
CellRight Technologies facility in Universal City, Texas. 

The  need  to  foster  the  Group's  business  relationships  with  suppliers,  customers  and  others.  Suppliers  are 
fundamental to the Group’s ability to source high-quality raw materials and ethically sourced and handled tissues. 
We look to partner with suppliers who can augment our internal capabilities and build long-term relationships. Key 
topics of engagement for suppliers throughout the year were around: the implications of the lingering effects of the 
COVID-19 pandemic, availability of supplies and any variances to payment practices. In addition, relationships with 
donor sources were expanded to include tissue types not commercially distributed by the Group, thereby maximising 
the gift of tissue donation. With respect to customers, they include prestigious key opinion leaders whose expertise 
assists with driving the clinical discussion around the differentiating properties of our product portfolio. This type of 
engagement and clinical advocacy is crucial as we work to grow our clinical data portfolio, improve product and 
brand recognition and increase the number of patients who can benefit from our portfolio. Key topics of engagement 
for customers and opinion leaders throughout the year were around: changing practices and expectations regarding 
performance of our clinical solutions and new product development opportunities. 

The impact of the Group's operations on the community and the environment. The Board is mindful of the potential 
social and environmental impacts of the Group’s activities. The Board is committed to minimising the environmental 
effect of the Group’s activities wherever possible and seeks rigorous compliance with relevant legislation. More 
discussion on the Group’s environmental initiatives is contained in the Corporate Governance Statement on page 24. 
The Group also looks to engage with the local communities and support relevant charities wherever possible. 

The desirability of the Group maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct. Our intention is 
to behave in a responsible manner, operating within the high standard of business conduct and good corporate 
governance, as highlighted in the Corporate Governance Statement on pages 21-24. 

The need to act fairly as between members of the Group. The Group’s intention is to behave responsibly towards 
all its shareholders and treat them fairly and equally so that they too may benefit from the successful delivery of 
the Group’s strategic objectives. The Group’s website (https://www.tissueregenix.com) has a section dedicated to 
investor matters that details, amongst other things, all financial reports, press releases and other regulatory filings. 

The Strategic Report on pages 3 to 16 was approved by the Board on 18 March 2024.

Corporate Governance Statement 

The Board believes in the importance of good corporate governance and is aware of its responsibility for overall 
corporate governance and for supervising the general affairs and business of the Company and its subsidiaries. 

The Group is listed on the Alternative Investment Market (‘AIM’) of the London Stock Exchange and is subject to 
the continuing requirements of the AIM Rules. AIM-listed companies are required to apply a recognised corporate 
governance code. The Group applies the Quoted Companies Alliance Corporate Governance Code (the ‘QCA 
Code’). The Board considers that it has complied with the QCA Code throughout the year. This section provides 
general information on the Group’s adoption of the QCA Code. 

Our strategy and business model and approach to risk 
Through our platform technologies, we commercialise regenerative medicine products, helping to transform the 
treatment of patients in key surgical applications. We aim to implement a business model that ensures our product 
portfolios have the market reach to deliver novel tissue engineering solutions to patients. 

In 2023, we continued to employ our 4S strategy as the foundation of how we operate and drive our growth: 

l        Supply – highlighted by the fundamental ability to source donor tissue, having the capacity to produce 

various graft products, and the ability to efficiently place donor tissue with other processors 

l        Sales Revenue – to distribute the finished grafts to the clinicians and institutions that need these products 

to treat patients 

l        Sustainability – to manage sales revenue along with expenses to be a profitable entity that does not need 

additional external capital to operate 

l        Scale – to utilise the first three S’s to continue to invest in and grow the business and license or acquire 

new products, technologies and companies 

Our  focus  on  the  4S’s  across  all  divisions  and  departments  provides  a  360-degree  approach  and  strategic 
direction for our future success. We believe this focus will allow the Group to achieve above-market growth rates. 

In 2023, we continued to build upon the 4S foundation and added four growth pillars to drive our organic tactical 
decision-making within the Group. The growth pillars are: 

l        Base Business – Growth of our base businesses with existing and new customers 

l        Tissue  Partnerships  –  Growth  of  our  unique  capacity  to  provide  Released  Donor  Tissue  and  partially 

processed tissue to outside parties 

l        Market Expansion – Growth into additional surgical specialities and geographic regions globally with our 

products and technology platforms 

l        Regulatory Evolution – Growth expansion into markets requiring medical device approvals or with products 

classified as medical devices 

The  Board  carefully  considers  the  strengths,  weaknesses,  opportunities  and  risks  facing  the  Group  and 
endeavours to minimise the impact of weaknesses and risks by employing the necessary mitigating actions. We 
process tissues at our facilities in the UK, Europe and North America. The Group has an experienced and dedicated 
management and scientific team, and the prominent risks facing the Group are kept under review and updated 
as necessary; the Board ensures to review a detailed risk matrix on a rolling basis as part of the formal Board 
meetings. Details of risks identified are set out on pages 12 to 13 of this report. 

The Group maintains a central finance team, excluding the day-to-day finance activities at our joint venture, 
GBM-V. The Group seeks to operate consistent accounting policies and engages annual external audits from 
professional auditors of its financial results and reports, findings from which are presented to the Board. The 
Board reviews monthly financial reports including KPIs provided by the CFO in respect of the management of 
cash within the business and review against budgets and forecasts. The Group also has a number of operational 
controls that all employees are expected to adhere to, including management structure, Board-reserved matters, 

Annual Report and Accounts 2023 21

 
Corporate Governance Statement 

continued

financial monitoring, internal policies, codes of conduct and training, health and safety monitoring and IT controls. 
The regulatory and quality teams at each facility maintain a comprehensive quality management system, with 
each employee having a personal training record. As noted above, the Group regularly audits its suppliers to ensure 
that the highest ethical standards are maintained. In respect of its intellectual property rights, the Group engages 
a professional patent and trademark attorney to monitor its intellectual property portfolio. 

Board of Directors 
The Board is responsible for leading and controlling the activities of the Group, with overall authority for the 
management and conduct of the Group’s businesses together with its strategy and development. Annual strategy 
meetings are held wherein management and the Board interact to review performance and set strategic and 
operational plans for the coming year. For more information on our Board of Directors, see page 20. 

Composition of the Board 
The Board comprises three independent NEDs, the Non-Executive Chair and two Executive Directors – the CEO 
and  the  CFO  –  reflecting  a  blend  of  different  experiences  and  backgrounds.  The  function  of  the  Chair  is  to 
supervise and manage the Board and to ensure its effective control of the business. The Board believes that the 
composition of the Board brings a desirable range of skills and experience in light of the Group’s challenges and 
opportunities  as  a  public  company  while  at  the  same  time  ensuring  that  no  individual  (or  a  small  group  of 
individuals) can dominate the Board’s decision-making. There is a clear division of responsibility between the 
Chair and CEO, with the Chair advising and leading the Board as well as making himself available to meet with 
shareholders. The CEO is responsible for implementing the strategy of the Group and managing day-to-day 
business activities of the Group. Training is made available to each NED to ensure that they are completely aware 
of their regulatory responsibilities and requirements. A formal Board appraisal is conducted annually to ensure 
that the Board continues to function effectively. 

The Board aims to meet formally at least eight times a year, with provision being made to join via telephone or 
video conference if a member of the Board is unable to attend in person. A monthly Board report is produced, and 
meeting agendas and Board papers are circulated in advance of each meeting so that the Board can properly 
consider the matters to be discussed. Outside of the scheduled meetings, the Board will meet to discuss ad hoc 
business events where necessary, and the CEO keeps the Board fully informed of any business developments 
that could positively or negatively impact the performance or value of the Company; any business decisions that 
require formal Board approval; or any event that could impact the Board or individual member carrying out their 
duties and regulatory responsibilities. The Company maintains minutes of formal and ad hoc Board meetings. 

The composition of the Board did not change in 2023. 

In 2023, there were eight Board meetings. All Directors were present for all meetings, with the exception of two 
meetings where a single Director was absent. In addition, there were three Audit Committee meetings, with no 
absences, and two Remuneration Committee meetings, again with no absences. 

The NEDs are appointed through formal non-executive appointment letters, which contain a three-month notice 
period. The non-executive appointment letters contain an indicative time commitment of 20 days per annum; 
however, these indicate that this is an estimate and that all Directors are expected to commit sufficient time to 
fully  discharge  their  responsibilities.  The  Company  has  not  had  any  issues  with  regular  non-attendance  at 
meetings. Executive Directors have formal service contracts, which require them to work full-time in the business 
and have no other significant outside business commitments. These service agreements have a maximum of 
six months’ notice to terminate.  

The Company follows the provisions in its Articles of Association in respect of the retirement and reappointment 
of Directors at its AGM each year. 

The Board is satisfied that it has a suitable balance between independence and knowledge of the business to 
allow it to discharge its duties and responsibilities effectively and that effective controls have been put in place.

Corporate Governance Statement 

continued

The Board also operates two sub-committees, the Audit and Remuneration Committees, to ensure compliance 
with market regulations. 

The Audit Committee’s primary responsibilities are to monitor the integrity of the financial affairs and statements 
of the Group, to ensure that the financial performance of the Group and any subsidiary is properly measured and 
reported and to review reports from the Group’s external auditor relating to the accounting and internal controls. 
The Audit Committee also recommends to the Board the appointment and reappointment of the external auditor. 
The Audit Committee considers the scope and results of the external audit and its cost-effectiveness. It also 
reviews the fees, independence and objectivity of the external auditor by discussing with the auditor their annual 
assessment regarding their independence, policies and procedures and analysing the audit and non-audit work. 
The  Audit  Committee  also  plays  a  key  role  in  supporting  the  Board  with  the  ongoing  risk  assessment  and 
management framework for the Group. 

The Group’s external auditor has unrestricted access to the Audit Committee and attends the Audit Committee 
meetings throughout the year. The Executive Directors attend the Audit Committee meeting by invitation only. 

The Audit Committee comprises Brian Phillips, Trevor Phillips and Jonathan Glenn. The Audit Committee meets 
at least twice per year and is chaired by Brian Phillips, who is a Chartered Accountant and has relevant financial 
experience. 

No separate Audit Committee report has been included as the Corporate Governance Statement adequately 
covers the content we would include in the Audit Committee report. 

The Remuneration Committee comprises Trevor Phillips, Brian Phillips and Shervanthi Homer-Vanniasinkam. 
The Remuneration Committee meets no fewer than twice per year and is chaired by Trevor Phillips, who has many 
years of relevant operational and commercial industry experience in both the UK and the US. 

Risk management and internal control 
The Board is responsible for maintaining a sound system of internal controls. These measures are designed to 
minimise any potential risks identified and provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material 
misstatement or loss. The Board confirms that it has established a sound system of internal controls. Some key 
features of the internal control system are as follows: 

l        Well-established financial reporting and control systems. 

l        The Board actively identifies, evaluates and monitors the risks inherent in the business and ensures that 

appropriate controls and procedures are in place to manage these risks. 

l        There is a clearly designed organisation and reporting structure. 

l        The Group has operational, accounting and employment policies in place. 

In addition, the Board regularly assesses the internal control environment under which the business operates and, 
where appropriate, implements additional measures to ensure that adequate controls are maintained. 

Employees 
The Group places value on the involvement of its employees, and the Board is regularly briefed on the Group’s 
activities. The Group closely monitors staff attrition rates, which it seeks to maintain at low levels, and aims to 
structure staff compensation levels at competitive rates to attract and retain high-calibre personnel. 

Equal opportunities 
The Group is committed to ensuring that equal opportunities are provided to all employees and potential employees 
and to not discriminate on the basis of age, gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation or marital status. 
All employees are expected to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner adhering to our non-discrimination 
policy. In all aspects of our business, the Group looks to act in ways that are compliant with the applicable laws and 
regulations, providing our employees with a work environment that is professional, ethical and fair.

Environment 
As with all businesses, the emphasis on environmental sustainability is important and subject to increasing 
scrutiny and regulation. All employees are involved in the initiatives implemented to decrease the Group’s carbon 
footprint and energy consumption and in the Group’s environmental sustainability efforts. During 2023, the Group 
implemented new environmental sustainability initiatives related to plastics recycling to reduce its environmental 
footprint. 

Social, community and human rights 
The Board recognises that the Group has a duty to be a good corporate citizen and to respect the laws in the 
markets in which it operates. It contributes as far as is practicable to the local communities in which it operates 
and takes a responsible and positive approach to employment practices. 

The Group, led by the CEO, maintains open and transparent channels of communication with all employees in 
order to promote values and behaviours that consistently reflect the Group’s ethos and to ensure that employees 
are aware of company developments and successes. Operating in an industry based upon the processing of 
human- and animal-derived tissues demands the highest ethical standards, and the Group aspires to maintain 
these across all business functions and relations. The Company undertakes regular audit checks to ensure that 
partners, suppliers and employees comply with the ethical standards and operate to meet our expectations. 

The Group employs a vigorous code of conduct and ethics to ensure it operates with a level of social responsibility 
across the business every day. Through the gift of tissue donation, the Group has the ability to positively impact 
hundreds of patients’ lives; therefore, we must treat each gift with the utmost respect and provide the next of kin 
with information around how many patients the donation has helped, if requested – something that can often 
help in the grieving process. 

Relations with shareholders 
The Board believes that maintaining regular and transparent dialogue with shareholders is important to ensure 
that there is a clear understanding of strategic objectives, financial and operational performance and governance 
of the Group. 

The Group actively engages with its shareholders throughout the year through direct meetings, website and social 
media communications and stock exchange announcements. Commissioned analyst research notes are made 
available on the Company’s website as well as clinical case studies and published papers. Senior management, 
typically the CEO and the CFO, aim to meet with, or speak with, significant shareholders at least twice in a year, 
usually after the interim and preliminary results announcements, to provide an update on strategy and progress 
of the Group as a whole and to receive shareholder feedback. The Group also undertakes several publicly available 
updates to all shareholders through forums such as interviews, trading updates and PR announcements. In 2023, 
the Group undertook two ‘Investor Meet Company’ retail investor presentations as part of the full-year and interim 
results investor roadshows, with 69 individuals attending the preliminary results presentation in March 2023 and 
70 individuals attending the interim results presentation in September 2023. 

In accordance with AIM Rule 26, there is an Investors section on the Group’s website, which is kept up to date. 
Information is provided regarding our business, results and financial performance, investor news and copies of 
our annual reports and accounts. 

The  Group  holds  an  AGM  each  year  at  which  all  shareholders  are  welcome  to  attend  and  speak  with 
management. At the AGM, separate resolutions will be proposed for each substantially different issue. The 
outcome of the voting on AGM resolutions is disclosed by means of an announcement on the London Stock 
Exchange.

Directors’ Remuneration Report 

Remuneration policy 
The Group’s remuneration policy is designed to provide Executive Directors with a competitive market-based 
package in order to reward individual and Group performance and deliver outstanding shareholder returns. The 
Remuneration Committee is committed to ensuring that the Group’s key management team is incentivised to 
drive sustainable earnings growth and returns to shareholders, thereby creating a genuinely strong alignment of 
interests between management and investors. 

It is the Group’s policy that Executive Directors should have contracts with an indefinite term providing for a 
maximum of six months’ notice. In the event of early termination, the Executive Directors’ contracts provide for 
compensation up to a maximum of basic salary for the notice period. 

NEDs are employed on letters of appointment that may be terminated on no less than three months’ notice. 
Companies with securities listed on the AIM do not need to comply with the UKLA Listing Rules. 

The Remuneration Committee is, however, committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance 
and disclosure and has applied the guidelines as far as practical given the current size and development of 
the Group. 

Further details on risk in the remuneration policy are available below. 

Remuneration Committee 
The Remuneration Committee’s primary responsibilities are to review the performance of the Executive Directors 
of the Group and to determine the broad policy and framework for their remuneration and the terms and conditions 
of their service and that of senior management (including the remuneration of and grant of options or shares to 
such persons under any share scheme adopted by the Group). 

The 2023 Remuneration Committee comprises Trevor Phillips as Chair of the Committee, Brian Phillips and 
Shervanthi Homer-Vanniasinkam. The Committee meets no fewer than twice in each financial year. 

The main elements of the remuneration packages for Executive Directors and senior management are: 

Basic annual salary 
The base salary is reviewed annually at the beginning of each year. The review process is undertaken by the 
Remuneration Committee taking into account several factors, including the current position and development of 
the Group, individual contribution and market salaries for comparable organisations. 

The Committee also approves the level of the pool for salary reviews for all staff. 

Discretionary annual bonus 
All  Executive  Directors  and  senior  managers  are  eligible  for  a  discretionary  annual  bonus,  which  is  paid  in 
accordance with a bonus scheme developed by the Remuneration Committee. This takes into account individual 
contribution, business performance and commercial progress, against Corporate and individual goals set at the 
beginning of the year, in accordance with the Group’s strategy along with financial results. 

Long-term incentive plan 
In 2021, the Group replaced the prior deferred annual bonus (‘DAB’) plan with a new long-term incentive plan 
'LTIP’) for Executive Directors and senior management. 

The LTIP awards are made annually, with the initial awards made in 2021, to the Executive Directors and those 
senior management members recommended to participate by the Executive Directors and approved by the Board. 
Awards are based upon a predetermined percentage of an individual’s annual salary and will vest over a period 
of three years. 

Annual Report and Accounts 2023 25

 
Directors’ Remuneration Report 

continued

The final vesting of the awards is determined by performance against vesting criteria, set by the Remuneration 
Committee at the time of grant, and adjudged by the Remuneration Committee in the period prior to the nominated 
vesting date. 

The goals are set against key aspects of Group performance, defined to be total shareholder return (‘TSR’), revenue 
growth, profitability and individual performance against personal performance goals. Weighting is set at 80% of 
the vesting directed at Group performance over the period against the three corporate goals and 20% against 
personal performance goals. As part of the LTIP rules, the Executive Directors are required to use vested LTIPs to 
build a shareholding in the Group to a level of 100% of base salary over a period of six years. 

Remuneration policy for Non-Executive Directors 
Remuneration for NEDs is set by the Chair and the Executive members of the Board. Non-Executives do not 
participate in bonus schemes.  

Directors’ remuneration 
The remuneration of the main Board Directors of Tissue Regenix who served in the year to 31 December 2023 
was as follows: 

                                                                                           Salary and

Directors’ Responsibilities Statement  

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors’ Report and the financial statements 
in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 

Company law requires the Directors to prepare Group and company financial statements for each financial year. 
The Directors have elected under company law and are required by the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange 
to prepare Group financial statements in accordance with UK-adopted IAS and have elected under company law 
to prepare the Company financial statements in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice 
(UK Accounting Standards and applicable law). 

The Group’s financial statements are required by law and UK-adopted IAS to present fairly the financial position 
and performance of the Group. The Companies Act 2006 provides in relation to such financial statements that 
references in the relevant part of that Act to financial statements giving a true and fair view are references to their 
achieving a fair presentation. 

Under company law, the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 
give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and the Company and of the profit or loss of the Group 
for that period. 

In preparing each of the Group and company financial statements, the Directors are required to: 

a.

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

b. make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

c.

d.

e.

for the Group financial statements, state whether they have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted 
IAS; 

for  the  Company  financial  statements,  state  whether  applicable  UK  accounting  standards  have  been 
followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the Company financial statements; 

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the 
Group and the Company will continue in business. 

The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain 
the Group’s and the Company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial 
position of the Group and the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the 
requirements of the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group 
and the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other 
irregularities. 

The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included 
on the Tissue Regenix Group plc website. 

Legislation  in  the  UK  governing  the  preparation  and  dissemination  of  financial  statements  may  differ  from 
legislation in other jurisdictions.

significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the 
Group financial statements is applicable law and UK-adopted International Accounting Standards. The financial 
reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the parent company financial statements is 
applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 101 ‘Reduced 
Disclosure Framework’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion:  

l

l

l

l

the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the Group’s and of the parent company’s 
affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of the Group’s loss for the year then ended; 

the Group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International 
Accounting Standards; 

the parent company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom

Basis for opinion 
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable 
law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit 
of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group and the parent company in 
accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, 
including  the  FRC’s  Ethical  Standard  as  applied  to  listed  entities  and  we  have  fulfilled  our  other  ethical

Key audit matters 
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of 
the Group financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material 
misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) we identified, including those which had the greatest effect on the 
overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit and directing the efforts of the engagement team. 
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Group financial statements as a whole, and in 
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.  

Goodwill impairment 

Key audit matter description

The non-current assets of the CellRight Technologies LLC (‘CellRight’) cash 
generating unit (‘CGU’) includes goodwill of USD11.6 million (after a cumulative 
impairment  charge  of  USD7.9  million)  and  this  CGU  is  subject  to  annual 
impairment testing. The CellRight CGU is a legal entity in its own right and forms 
part of the BioRinse operating segment. Management have disclosed details 
relating to their impairment test in notes 4 and 14. 

Impairment testing requires management to compare the carrying amount of 
the CGU’s attributable assets and liabilities with the higher of fair value less costs 
of disposal and value in use (the ‘Recoverable Amount’). Where the carrying 
amount is higher than Recoverable Amount then an impairment charge arises.  

Impairment  testing  involves  a  significant  degree  of  judgement  because 
management’s  determination  of  value  in  use  is  based  on  a  number  of 
assumptions, including an assessment of future performance in a high growth 
sector and the selection of an appropriate discount rate.  

Significant impairment charges have arisen in previous periods and the Group 
overall continues to be loss making. Any recorded impairment charge would 
most likely have a material impact on the financial statements.  

Due to the level of estimation uncertainty, we determined this to be a key audit 
matter. 

How the matter was addressed 
in the audit

Management provided us with an impairment model for the CellRight CGU. We 
performed audit work on this model, which included: 

l   Checking the calculations contained within the model, including reperforming 
the comparison of the Recoverable Amount with the carrying amount and 
agreeing the carrying amount to the accounting records. 

l   Challenging  management  to  support  key  assumptions  within  the  model, 

particularly forecast revenue growth and the discount rate applied. 

l   Using  a  specialist  to  obtain  an  independent  estimate  of  an  appropriate 

discount rate. 

l   Reviewing the accuracy of historic forecasts and sensitivity to changes in 

the assumptions. 

l   Reviewing the disclosures made in the financial statements to ensure that 
they were in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework.

Our application of materiality 
When establishing our overall audit strategy, we set certain thresholds which help us to determine the nature, 
timing and extent of our audit procedures. When evaluating whether the effects of misstatements, both individually 
and on the financial statements as a whole, could reasonably influence the economic decisions of the users we 
take into account the qualitative nature and the size of the misstatements. Based on our professional judgement, 
we determined materiality as follows:  

Overall materiality

USD516,000 (2022: USD428,000)

£405,000 (2022: £265,000)

Misstatements in excess of £20,000 
and  misstatements  below 
that 
threshold that, in our view, warranted 
reporting on qualitative grounds. 

Materiality levels in respect of the disclosure requirements for the Group and parent company in relation to 
Directors’ emoluments including share-based payment transactions were set at a reduced level of USD68,000. 
This  reduced  level  has  been  set  on  the  basis  these  transactions  and  balances  have  specific  disclosure 
requirements under UK Company Law and would be of specific interest to shareholders.

Conclusions relating to going concern  
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of 
accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Our evaluation of the Directors’ assessment 
of the Group’s and parent company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included 
reviewing and evaluating management’s latest forecasts and plans, considering the appropriateness and sensitivity 
of the key assumptions, and reviewing the key terms of debt facilities. These forecasts are prepared in respect of 
the period to 31 December 2025. The Group has significant cash reserves at 31 December 2023 of USD4.7m as a 
result of the continued growth in the level of activity in the Group and agreed an extension to its borrowing facilities 
during  the  year.  Even  in  downside  scenarios  which  take  account  of  slower  than  forecast  sales  growth, 
management’s forecasts indicate significant cash at the end of the forecast period. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or 
conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group’s or the parent company’s ability 
to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are 
authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Directors with respect to going concern are described in the 
relevant sections of this report.  

Other information 
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements 
and our auditor’s report thereon. The Directors are responsible for the other information contained within the 
annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the 
extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is 
materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or 
otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material 
misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial 
statements  themselves.  If,  based  on  the  work  we  have  performed,  we  conclude  that  there  is  a  material 
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.  

We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

l

l

the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors’ Report for the financial year for which the 
financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

the Strategic Report and the Directors’ Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal 
requirements. 

Matters on which we are required to report by exception 
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the parent company and their environment 
obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the 
Directors’ Report. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires 
us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

l

l

adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit 
have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

continued

l

l

certain disclosures of Directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

Responsibilities of Directors 
As explained more fully in the Directors’ responsibilities statement set out on page 30, the Directors are responsible 
for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for 
such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements 
that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s and the parent 
company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and 
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent 
company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our 
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 
accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise 
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be 
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, 
including fraud 
Irregularities are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The objectives of our audit are to obtain 
sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding compliance with laws and regulations that have a direct effect on 
the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, to perform audit procedures 
to help identify instances of non-compliance with other laws and regulations that may have a material effect on 
the financial statements, and to respond appropriately to identified or suspected non-compliance with laws and 
regulations identified during the audit.  

In relation to fraud, the objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the 
financial statements due to fraud, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of 
material misstatement due to fraud through designing and implementing appropriate responses and to respond 
appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit.  

However, it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to 
ensure that the entity's operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and 
for the prevention and detection of fraud. 

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, the Group 
audit engagement team:  

l

l

l

obtained an understanding of the nature of the industry and sector, including the legal and regulatory 
frameworks that the Group and parent company operate in and how the Group and parent company are 
complying with the legal and regulatory framework; 

inquired of management, and those charged with governance, about their own identification and assessment 
of the risks of irregularities, including any known actual, suspected or alleged instances of fraud; 

discussed matters about non-compliance with laws and regulations and how fraud might occur including 
assessment of how and where the financial statements may be susceptible to fraud.

determine  that  the  Group’s  revenue  recognition  policies  have  been  applied 
correctly, and revenue is recorded in the correct accounting period.  

Testing  transactions  identified  by  the  use  of  a  data  analytics  tool  as  being 
outside of the normal revenue and investigating these. 

Testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments;  

Assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are 
indicative of a potential bias; and 

Evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual 
or outside the normal course of business. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial 
Reporting Council’s website at: http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our 
auditor’s report. 

Use of our report  
This report is made solely to the Company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the 
Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s members 
those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent 
permitted  by  law,  we  do  not  accept  or  assume  responsibility  to  anyone  other  than  the  Company  and  the 
Company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006. Its registered 
number is 05969271. 

The address of the registered office is Unit 3, Phoenix Court, Lotherton Way, Garforth LS25 2GY.

3. Significant accounting policies 

Basis of preparation 
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards 
and  with  the  requirements  of  the  Companies  Act  2006  as  applicable  to  companies  reporting  under  those 
standards. 

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. Historical cost is generally based on 
the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.  

The financial statements are presented in United States dollars (‘USD’). All amounts have been rounded to the 
nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated. 

As described below, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the consolidated and 
the Company financial statements.  

The accounting policies set out below have, unless otherwise stated, been applied consistently to all periods 
presented in these financial statements.  

The preparation of the financial statements in compliance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards 
requires  management  to  make  estimates  and  the  Directors  to  exercise  judgement  in  applying  the  Group’s 
accounting policies. The significant judgements made by the Directors in the application of these accounting 
policies that have a significant impact on the financial statements and the key sources of estimation uncertainty 
are disclosed in note 4. 

Going concern 
The Group financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis based on cash flow projections, 
approved by the Board for the Group, for the period to 31 December 2025 (the ‘Cash Flow Projections’). Funding 
requirements are reviewed on a regular basis by the Group’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer 
and are reported to the Board at each Board meeting, as well as on an ad hoc basis if requested. Until sufficient 
cash  is  generated  from  its  operations,  the  Group  remains  reliant  on  cash  reserves  of  USD4.7  million  at 
31 December 2023 and the ongoing support of MidCap (borrowings of USD6.0 million at 31 December 2023) and 
other lending institutions to meet its working capital requirements, capital investment programme and other 
financial commitments. Repayment of the MidCap borrowings commenced in February 2024. 

In compiling the Cash Flow Projections, the Board has considered a downside scenario regarding the effect of 
reduced and delayed revenues due to slower market uptake of the Group’s product offerings. The Cash Flow 
Projections prepared by the Board, including the downside scenario, indicate that the Group will still have cash 
reserves at the end of the forecast period. The Group’s Cash Flow Projections assume that the MidCap revolving 
credit facility is available throughout the forecast period and that the term loan repayment begins in 2024. The 
availability of these facilities is dependent upon compliance with a rolling 12-month revenue covenant that is 
measured on a monthly basis. The Cash Flow Projections, including the downside scenario, indicate compliance 
with this covenant throughout the forecast period.  

In summary, the Directors have considered their obligations in relation to the assessment of the going concern 
basis for the preparation of the financial statements of the Group and have reviewed the Cash Flow Projections, 
including the downside scenario. On the basis of their assessment, they have concluded that the going concern 
basis remains appropriate for use in these financial statements. 

Basis of consolidation 
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary 
undertakings (together ‘the Group’) made up to 31 December each year. 

Subsidiary undertakings are those entities controlled directly or indirectly by the Company. Control is achieved 
when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has 
the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. In assessing control, the Group takes into 
consideration potential voting rights. The acquisition date is the date on which control is transferred to the acquirer. 
The financial results of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that 

Annual Report and Accounts 2023 43

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

continued

control commences until the date that control ceases. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a 
subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to 
have a deficit balance. 

Transactions eliminated on consolidation 
Intra-group  balances  and  transactions,  and  any  unrealised  income  and  expenses  arising  from  intra-group 
transactions, are eliminated. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted investees are 
eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are 
eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. 

Non-controlling interest 
Non-controlling interests are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at 
the date of acquisition. Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are 
accounted for as equity transactions. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests are allocated to the 
non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance. 

Controlled joint venture 
In  January  2016,  the  Group  entered  a  joint  venture  establishing  GBM-V  GmbH,  a  company  incorporated  in 
Germany. The Group controls the majority of the voting rights, and, consequently, the results for this entity are 
consolidated in full within these financial statements with the recognition of a non-controlling interest within 
equity. 

Goodwill 
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a subsidiary undertaking is the difference between the fair value of the 
consideration payable and the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired. 
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment as described below. 

Revenue 
Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable in the normal course of business, 
net of discounts, VAT and other sales-related taxes and is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the 
economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow into the Group, which usually coincides with the 
despatch of goods. 

In some instances, for a small proportion of the business, goods are held by third parties (e.g. hospitals) and 
revenue is recognised upon utilisation within surgical procedures. 

Bill-and-hold sales 
The Group has bill-and-hold arrangements with customers, and this revenue is recognised when the Group 
considers that performance obligations have been met and they meet the following criteria: 

l

l

l

l

The reason for the bill-and-hold arrangement must be substantive (usually, the arrangement has been 
requested by the customer to facilitate their shipping arrangements). 

The product must be identified separately as belonging to the customer (that is, it cannot be used to satisfy 
other orders). 

The product must be ready for physical transfer to the customer. 

The Group cannot have the ability to use the product or direct it to another customer. 

Foreign currencies 
The  individual  financial  statements  of  each  component  entity  are  presented  in  the  currency  of  the  primary 
economic  environment  in  which  the  entity  operates  (the  ‘functional  currency’).  For  the  purposes  of  the 
consolidated financial statements, the results and the financial position of each Group entity are expressed in 
USD, which is the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements. 

44 Tissue Regenix Group plc

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

continued

In preparing the financial statements of the individual companies, transactions in currencies other than the 
functional currency of each group company (‘foreign currencies’) are translated into the functional currency at 
the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each reporting date, monetary assets and 
liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated into the functional currency at the rates 
prevailing on the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in 
foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-
monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. 

Foreign exchange differences are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except for 
foreign exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which 
settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur and which, therefore, form part of the net investment in the foreign 
operation.  Foreign  exchange  differences  arising  on  the  translation  of  the  Group’s  net  investment  in  foreign 
operations are recognised within the cumulative translation reserve via the statement of other comprehensive 
income.  On  disposal  of  foreign  operations  and  foreign  entities,  the  cumulative  translation  differences  are 
recognised in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on disposal. 

For the purpose of presenting company and consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the 
Company,  and  the  Group’s  operations  that  have  a  functional  currency  other  than  USD,  are  translated  using 
exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the 
average exchange rates for the period unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which 
case the exchange rates at the date of transactions are used. Foreign exchange differences arising, if any, are 
recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity. Equity items are translated at the exchange 
rates at the date of transactions, and foreign exchange differences arising, if any, are accumulated directly in 
equity. 

On the disposal of a foreign operation (e.g. a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, a disposal 
involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation or a loss of joint control over a jointly 
controlled entity that includes a foreign operation), all of the accumulated exchange differences in respect of that 
operation attributable to the Group are reclassified to profit or loss. Where there is no change in the proportionate 
percentage interest in an entity then there has been no disposal or partial disposal, and accumulated exchange 
differences attributable to the Group are not reclassified to profit or loss. 

Fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the 
foreign operation and translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange 
differences arising are recognised in equity. 

Research and development 
Research costs are charged to profit and loss as they are incurred. An intangible asset arising from development 
expenditure on an individual project is recognised only when all of the following criteria can be demonstrated: 

l

It is technically feasible to complete the product, and management is satisfied that appropriate regulatory 
hurdles have been or will be achieved. 

l Management intends to complete the product and use or sell it. 

l

l

l

l

There is an ability to use or sell the product. 

It can be demonstrated how the product will generate probable future economic benefits. 

Adequate technical, financial and other resources are available to complete the development or use or sell 
the product. 

Expenditure attributable to the product can be reliably measured. 

Annual Report and Accounts 2023 45

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

continued

Such intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis from the point at which the assets are ready for use 
over the period of the expected benefit and are reviewed for an indication of impairment at each reporting date. 
Other development costs are charged against profit or loss as incurred since the criteria for capitalisation are 
not met. 

The costs of an internally generated intangible asset comprise all directly attributable costs necessary to create, 
produce  and  prepare  the  asset  to  be  capable  of  operating  in  the  manner  intended  by  management.  Directly 
attributable costs include employee costs incurred on technical development, testing and certification, materials 
consumed and any relevant third-party costs. The costs of internally generated developments are recognised as 
intangible  assets  and  are  subsequently  measured  in  the  same  way  as  externally  acquired  intangible  assets. 
The assets are reviewed for indicators of impairment, but they are not amortised until completion of the development 
project.  

Inventories 
Inventories are recognised at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the first in, first 
out method and represents the purchase cost, including transport, for raw materials, together with a proportion 
of  manufacturing  overheads  based  on  normal  levels  of  activity  for  work  in  progress  and  finished  goods. 
Appropriate provisions for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in the income statement when there 
is objective evidence that the assets are impaired. 

Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets 
Property, plant and equipment assets are stated at their historical cost of acquisition less any provision for 
depreciation or impairment. 

Depreciation is provided on all property, plant and equipment assets at rates calculated to write each asset down 
to its estimated residual value evenly over its expected useful life, as follows: 

Buildings

over 39 years 

Laboratory equipment

over 5–7 years 

Computer equipment

over 3 years 

Fixtures and fittings

over 5 years  

Land is not depreciated. 

A right-of-use asset is recognised at commencement of the lease and initially measured at the amount of the 
lease liability plus any incremental costs of obtaining the lease and any lease payments made when or before 
the leased asset is available for use by the Group. The right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at cost less 
accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over 
the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term, unless the title to the asset transfers at the end of 
the lease term, in which case it is depreciated over the useful life.

Intangible assets 
Intangible assets are stated at fair value at acquisition. They are subsequently held at cost less any provision for 
impairment or amortisation. Intangible assets are amortised through administrative expenses within the income 
statement over their expected useful life as follows: 

Trademarks

Customer relationships

over 5 years 

over 10 years 

Process and information technology

over 10 years 

Supplier agreements

over 5 years 

Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use and intangible assets 
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and right-of-
use assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any 
such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the 
impairment loss (if any). 

In respect of goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite life, the Group performs an annual impairment 
review as required by IAS 36. 

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately 
identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units (‘CGUs’)). 

Discounted  cash  flow  valuation  techniques  are  generally  applied  for  assessing  recoverable  amounts  using 
Board-approved forward-looking cash flow projections and terminal value estimates, together with discount rates 
appropriate to the risk of the related CGUs. 

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of 
the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately. 

Share-based payments 

Share options 
Equity settled share-based payment transactions are measured with reference to the fair value at the date of 
grant, recognised on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on management’s estimate of shares 
that will eventually vest. The fair value of options is measured using a binomial model where the performance 
conditions of grants are market-based, the Monte Carlo model where there are multiple performance conditions 
and the Black-Scholes model where there are non-market related performance conditions. See note 25 for more 
information on performance conditions. 

At each reporting date before vesting, the cumulative expense is calculated, representing the extent to which the 
vesting period has expired and management’s best estimate of the achievement or otherwise of non-market 
conditions and the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The movement in cumulative expense 
since the previous reporting date is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, with a 
corresponding entry in equity. 

The grant by the Company of options and share-based compensation plans over its equity instruments to the 
employees of subsidiary undertakings in the Group is treated as a capital contribution. The fair value of employee 
services received, measured by reference to the grant date fair value, is recognised over the vesting period as an 
increase to investment in subsidiary undertakings, with a corresponding credit to equity in the parent entity 
accounts. 

Jointly held shares 
Where an employee acquires an interest in shares in the Company jointly with the Tissue Regenix Employee Share 
Trust, the fair value of the option at the purchase date is recognised on a straight-line basis over the vesting 
period. The fair value benefit is measured using a binomial valuation model, considering the terms and conditions 
upon which the jointly owned shares were purchased.

Financial assets and liabilities 

Recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities 
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the Group’s Statement of Financial Position when the 
Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and are initially measured at fair value. 
Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets measured at fair 
value through profit or loss. 

Financial assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. 
Classification  is  determined  based  on  both  the  business  model  within  which  such  assets  are  held  and  the 
contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless an accounting mismatch is being avoided. 

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value. 

Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities 
The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the asset expire or 
it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another 
entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues 
to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability 
for the amount it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a 
transferred  financial  asset,  the  Group  continues  to  recognise  the  financial  asset  and  also  recognises  a 
collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.  

On derecognition of a financial asset or financial liability, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. 

Impairment of financial assets 
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at 
amortised cost. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon management’s assessment at the end 
of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument’s credit risk has increased significantly since initial 
recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort to 
obtain.  

Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month 
expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset’s lifetime expected credit 
losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset 
has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance 
is based on the asset’s lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured 
on the basis of the probability-weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument 
discounted at the original effective interest rate.  

Trade and other receivables 
Trade  and  other  receivables  do  not  carry  any  interest  and  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value.  They  are 
subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method  less  any  provision  for 
impairment. 

An expected credit loss (‘ECL’) model, as introduced under IFRS 9, broadens the information that an entity is 
required to consider when determining its expectations of impairment. Under this model, expectations of future 
events must be taken into account, and this will result in the earlier recognition of larger impairments against 
trade and other receivables. 

In applying the ECL model management considers the probability of a default occurring over the contractual life 
of its trade receivables balances on initial recognition of those assets.

Impairment provisions are recognised for the Group as follows, representing the expected credit losses over the 
contracted life of these balances: 

Not overdue

0% of aged receivables 

0 - 3 months overdue

0% of aged receivables 

3 - 4 months overdue

25% of aged receivables 

4 - 5 months overdue

50% of aged receivables 

Over 5 months overdue

100% of aged receivables  

Trade and other payables 
Trade and other payables are not interest-bearing and are initially recognised at fair value. They are subsequently 
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

Borrowings 
Borrowings are interest-bearing and are initially recognised at fair value less the directly attributable costs of 
issue. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

Cash and cash equivalents 
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at hand and deposits on a term of not greater than three months. The 
Group places its funds with financial institutions with an A rating or higher.  

Equity instruments 
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting 
all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct 
issue costs. 

The costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity to the extent that they are 
incremental costs directly attributable to the equity transaction that would otherwise have been avoided. 

Leases 
On commencement of a contract that gives the Group the right to use assets for a period of time in exchange for 
consideration, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability unless the lease qualifies as a 
‘short-term’  lease  (where  the  term  is  12  months  or  less  with  no  option  to  purchase  the  leased  asset)  or  a 
‘low-value’ lease (where the underlying asset is USD5,000 or less when new). 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments during the lease term discounted 
using the interest rate implicit in the lease or the incremental borrowing rate if the interest rate implicit in the lease 
cannot be readily determined. The lease term is the non-cancellable period of the lease plus extension periods 
that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise and termination periods that the Group is reasonably certain not 
to exercise. Lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments 
dependent on an index or a rate and any residual value guarantees. 

The lease liability is subsequently increased for a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of 
the lease liability and reduced for lease payments. Interest on the lease liability is recognised in profit or loss. 
Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability, as they are not dependent on an 
index or rate, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those 
payments occurs.

Taxation 
Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of 
Income except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income, 
in which case it is recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income. 

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates 
enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date, and any adjustment to tax payable 
in respect of previous years. 

Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for 
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences 
are not provided for: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect 
neither accounting nor taxable profit other than in a business combination and differences relating to investments 
in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred 
tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and 
liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date. 

Segmental reporting 
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating 
decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing 
the performance of the operating segments and making strategic decisions, has been identified as the Board of 
Directors. 

4. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty 
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the Directors are required to 
make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities that are 
not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical 
experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.  

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates 
are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period 
of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both the current and future periods. 

The following are the critical judgements and estimations that the Directors have made in the process of applying 
the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the 
financial statements. 

Recoverability of non-current assets 
The Directors are required by IAS 36 Impairment of assets to carry out an annual impairment review in respect of 
goodwill to determine whether there was any requirement for an impairment provision in respect of the Group’s 
goodwill at 31 December 2023. 

The carrying amount of non-current assets at 31 December 2023 was USD24.2 million (2022: USD24.0 million). 

Critical judgements 
The Group’s non-current assets include intangible assets and goodwill arising on the acquisition of CellRight 
Technologies LLC, plus certain property, plant and machinery and right-of-use assets. It is the Directors judgement 
that  the  recoverable  amount  of  these  assets  cannot  be  determined  individually  and  that  this  is  the  smallest 
identifiable group of assets whose output has an active market and which generate largely independent cash flows 
from other assets or group of assets. It is, therefore, the Directors judgement that these assets should be considered 
to be a single cash generating unit (‘CGU’). Only the assets included in the CGU are subject to impairment review. 

50 Tissue Regenix Group plc

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

continued

Estimations 
The aggregate carrying value of the CGU was assessed for impairment based on value in use, which requires the 
Directors to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the CGU using a suitable discount rate in order 
to calculate present value. The future cash flows expected to arise were calculated using a discount rate of 18.3% 
(2022: 18.3%) based on the weighted average cost of capital. 

The impairment test indicated that the recoverable amount was at least equal to the carrying amount of the assets 
and, therefore, no provision for impairment was required at 31 December 2023 (2022: nil). See note 14. 

The key inputs to the cash flow forecast are revenues, gross margin and overheads, future anticipated capital 
expenditure and movements in working capital. The key estimation relates to sales growth, which is inherently 
difficult to forecast in a rapidly growing market, and it is possible that any or all of these key assumptions may 
change, which may then impact the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU and require a material adjustment 
to the carrying value of the assets in future periods. 

Leases 

Critical judgements 
Determining the term of a lease that includes an option to purchase requires the Directors to use their judgement in 
determining whether the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. The Directors’ assessment will impact both 
the determination of the lease term and the useful economic life of the asset. 

In determining the term of a lease, the Directors consider all facts and circumstances that create an economic 
incentive to exercise an option to purchase a leased asset. Periods after the date of the option to purchase are not 
included in the lease term if the option to purchase is reasonably certain to be exercised.  

In making their assessment, the Directors considered the potential cash outflow arising as a result of financing the 
option to purchase against the potential cost of ongoing lease payments, the potential market value of the property, 
which an independent appraisal indicated would be in excess of the fixed option exercise price, and  the commercial 
advantages of taking ownership and control of the property. 

The Directors concluded that the option to purchase is reasonably certain to be exercised, therefore, the lease term 
has been determined on this basis, and the USD3 million cash outflow on exercise of the option has been included 
in the lease liability.  

Estimations 
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term, unless the 
title to the asset transfers at the end of the lease term, in which case it is depreciated over the useful life. As a result 
of the Directors assessment that the Group will exercise the option to purchase, the assets are being depreciated 
over an estimated useful life of 39 years.

Analysis of revenue by customer 
During the year ended 31 December 2023, the Group had one customer who individually exceeded 10% of revenue. 
This customer generated 13% of revenue (2022: one customer who generated 13% of revenue). 

Operating segments 
In accordance with IFRS 8, the Group has derived the information for its operating segments using the information 
used by the chief operating decision-maker, who has been identified as the Board of Directors. 

The Board of Directors has determined that the Group has three operating segments for internal management, 
reporting and decision-making purposes, namely dCELL, BioRinse and GBM-V. 

Central overheads, which primarily relate to operations of the Group function, are not allocated to an operating 
segment. 

Revenue from all operating segments derives from the sale of biological medical devices. 

Refer to the Business Overview on page 2 for more details on the Group’s operating segments and operations.

following the UK budget in 2021, when the Chancellor announced an increase to the main rate of corporation tax 
in the UK to 25% from April 2023.  

Unrelieved tax losses carried forward, as detailed below, have not been recognised as a deferred tax asset as 
there is currently insufficient evidence that the asset will be recoverable in the foreseeable future. The losses are 
related to UK operations and must be utilised in relation to the same operations.

11. Loss per Ordinary Share  
Basic loss per Ordinary Share is calculated by dividing the net loss for the year attributable to owners of the parent 
company by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares in issue during the year, excluding own shares held 
jointly by the Tissue Regenix Employee Share Trust and certain employees. 

Diluted loss per Ordinary Share is calculated by dividing the net loss for the year attributable to owners of the 
parent company by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares in issue during the year adjusted for the 
dilutive effect of potential Ordinary Shares arising from the Company’s share options and jointly owned shares. 

The calculation of the basic and diluted loss per Ordinary Share is based on the following data: 

Losses  
Losses for the purpose of basic and diluted loss per Ordinary Share being net 
loss for the year attributable to owners of the parent company

Development costs represent expenditure on clinical evaluation studies relating to the Group’s products. The 
assets are reviewed for indicators of impairment but are not amortised until completion of the development 
project. 

Goodwill, customer relationships, trademarks, process and information technology and supplier agreements relate 
to the acquisition of CellRight Technologies LLC in 2017.  

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the assets acquired. 

Customer relationships represents the fair value attributed to the customer base existing on acquisition. The 
carrying value of these assets is USD1.1 million, and the remaining useful life is 3.6 years. 

Trademarks relate to registered trademarks acquired in the acquisition, which have now been amortised in full. 

Process and information technology represent the fair value attributed to in-house developed technology for each 
product group, ‘trade secrets’ and in-house developed information technology. The carrying value of these assets 
is USD0.5 million, and the remaining useful life is 3.6 years.

Supplier agreements relate to agreements for the supply of human tissue, which have now been amortised in full. 

The assets acquired on the acquisition of CellRight Technologies are subject to annual impairment testing as 
described below. 

Impairment of intangible assets 
The Group considers the assets arising on the acquisition of CellRight Technologies LLC to be a single CGU and 
tests for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently where there are any indicators of impairment. The 
aggregate carrying value is compared against the expected recoverable amount of the unit by reference to the 
present value of the future net cash flow expected to be derived from the asset, its value in use. 

Value in use is estimated based on future cash flow discounted to present value using a pre-tax discount rate of 
18.3% (2022: 18.3%), which still reflects increases in the risk-free interest rate inherent in the calculation of the 
weighted average cost of capital. An impairment charge arises where the carrying value exceeds the value in use. 

The inputs into cash flow forecasts are based on the most recent budgets/forecasts approved and reviewed by 
the Directors for the following year, extended forward for the next four years based on expected growth within 
the  CGU  over  that  period.  At  the  end  of  year  five,  a  terminal  value  is  calculated  using  a  long-term  growth 
assumption of 2% (2022: 2%).  

The key inputs to the cash flow forecasts are: 

l

l

l

revenues  (based  on  estimates  of  revenue  growth  with  both  new  and  existing  customers  based  on  an 
understanding of the needs of those customers and having regard to independent market assessments of 
market growth); 

gross margin and overheads (based on existing gross margins and adapted for appropriate increases based 
on the anticipated growth of the business); 

future anticipated capital expenditure (adjusted based on expected future growth); and 

l movements in working capital. 

The key assumption within the cash flow forecasts relates to sales growth which is inherently difficult to forecast 
in a rapidly growing market. Across the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (‘CAGR’) is 
20.5% (2022: 20.3%). 

At 31 December 2023, the impairment test prepared by the Directors indicates a recoverable amount based on 
value in use of USD68.2 million (2022: USD47 million) compared with a CGU carrying amount of USD32.6 million 
(2022: USD33 million). The Directors, therefore, do not consider that an impairment charge is appropriate for the 
year ended 31 December 2023 (2022: nil). However, in drawing this conclusion, the Directors note the importance 
of achieving the anticipated CAGR and have calculated that an impairment arises in the event that the CAGR falls 
to 12.4% (2022: 15%) across the five-year period.

At 31 December 2023, an accrual in respect of goods received not invoiced which was presented as a trade 
payable in the prior year has now been presented as an accrual in order to better reflect the nature of the balance. 
The  comparative  figures  have,  therefore,  been  reclassified  for  comparison  purposes.  The  reclassification 
amounted to USD2.4 million. 

The Directors consider that the carrying amount of trade and other payables approximates to their fair value.  

Trade payables and accruals principally comprise amounts outstanding for trade purchases and ongoing costs. 

The Group has financial risk management policies to ensure that all payables are paid within the credit time frame 
and no interest is generally charged on balances outstanding.

In June 2019, the Group signed a US bank facility with MidCap. 

The facility includes a term loan and a revolving credit facility, which originally incurred interest at LIBOR rate plus 
6.75% and LIBOR rate plus 4.5% respectively, subject to a floor LIBOR rate of 2.25%. 

In January 2023, the Group agreed new terms in respect of the MidCap facility, as follows: 

l

l

l

l

The replacement of LIBOR by Secured Overnight Financing Rate (‘SOFR’) due to the discontinuation of 
LIBOR. The floor SOFR rate is 3%. 

The extension of the maturity date of both the term loan and the revolving credit facility to 1 January 2028. 
The term loan will be repaid over 48 months commencing February 2024. 

An early payment of the exit fee of USD0.25 million (initially due on 1 June 2024) relating to the USD5.5 million 
term loan which, was repaid in 2019. This fee has been charged against the revolving credit facility. An exit 
fee of 4.5% on the remaining balance of the term loan (USD0.09 million) will be due on maturity or earlier 
settlement if applicable. 

An  increase  in  the  funds  available  under  the  terms  of  the  revolving  credit  facility  up  to  USD10  million 
(extended from USD5 million at 31 December 2022), with a fee payable in respect of each facility expansion 
of 0.5%. 

Additional debt issue costs of USD0.2 million have been capitalised against the loan during the year ended 
31 December 2023 and are being amortised over the life of the facilities.

As permitted by the provisions of the Companies Act 2006, the Company does not have an upper limit to its 
authorised share capital. 

The Ordinary Shares are fully paid and entitle the holder to full voting rights, to full participation and to distribution 
of dividends. 

The Deferred Shares are not listed on the Alternative Investment Market (‘AIM’) of the London Stock Exchange, 
do not give the holders any right to receive notice of, or to attend or vote at, any general meetings and have no 
entitlement to receive a dividend or other distribution other than to a return of capital in the event of a winding up 
(and only after the holders of the Ordinary Shares have received the sum of £1 million per share). 

On 28 April 2023, the Company consolidated every 100 Ordinary Shares of 0.1 pence each into one ‘Consolidated 
Ordinary Share of 10 pence each’. Immediately following the consolidation, each Consolidated Ordinary Share was 
subdivided into one New Ordinary Share of 0.1 pence each and one New Deferred Share of 9.9 pence each. The New 
Ordinary, and New Deferred Shares have the same rights as the existing Ordinary and Deferred Shares, respectively.

Due  to  the  difference  in  functional  and  presentation  currencies  of  the  parent  company,  foreign  exchange 
differences can arise between the allotted, issued and fully paid share capital, which is presented at historical 
rates of exchange. 

Issued Ordinary Share capital 
On 21 June 2022, the Company issued 2,717,391 Ordinary Shares of 0.1 pence each at a price of 0.0276 pence 
per  share,  raising  gross  proceeds  of  USD9,203  (£7,500),  in  respect  of  the  exercise  of  share  options 
(pre-consolidation). 

Immediately  prior  to  the  share  consolidation  on  28  April  2023,  the  Company  issued  10  Ordinary  Shares  of 
0.1 pence each at nil consideration to allow for an exact consolidation of 100:1. 

On 6 September 2023, the Company issued 216,519 Ordinary Shares of 0.1 pence each at a price of 27.6 pence

The options outstanding at 31 December 2023 had an estimated weighted average remaining contractual life of 
7.5 years (2022: 8.1 years) with an exercise price ranging between 10 pence and £19.75, as follows:

3,154 with an exercise price of £19.75 

3,636 with an exercise price of £11 

161,128 with an exercise price of £5 

2,578,746 with an exercise price of 10 pence 

The latest date for exercise of the options is 21 March 2033, and, unless otherwise agreed, the options are forfeited 
if the Director or employee leaves the Group before the options vest, or in respect of those options that have 
already vested, are not exercised within an agreed time period.  

Unapproved share incentive plan 
The Company has granted awards under the unapproved share incentive plan, some of which qualify as Enterprise 
Management Incentives (‘EMI’), which have a three-year share price performance condition.  

l

l

l

1,519  EMI  options  have  a  share  price  performance  condition  under  which  the  price  of  the  Company’s 
Ordinary Shares must reach £25 in year 1, £30 in year 2 and £35 in year 3 for a minimum of 30 consecutive 
days.  

3,636  EMI  options  have  a  share  price  performance  condition  under  which  the  price  of  the  Company’s 
Ordinary Shares must reach £15 in year 1, £20 in year 2 and £30 in year 3 for a minimum of 30 consecutive 
days.  

The unapproved share options have a share price performance condition under which the price of the 
Company’s Ordinary Shares must reach £25 in year 1, £30 in year 2 and £35 in year 3 for a minimum of 
30 consecutive days.  

Share options that are not exercised within 10 years from the date of grant will expire.   

Save As You Earn (‘SAYE’) scheme 
The Company operates a SAYE share option plan, under which Directors and certain employees have been granted 
options to subscribe for the Company’s Ordinary Shares. Employees must pay into the plan for a minimum of 
three years before options can be exercised. At the end of the scheme, employees can exercise their options or 
elect to have their contributions refunded. 

Share options that are not exercised within 10 years from the date of grant will expire.   

Long-Term Incentive Plan (‘LTIP’) 
The Company operates an LTIP share option plan, under which Directors and certain employees have been granted 
options to subscribe for the Company’s Ordinary Shares.  

Awards vest based on a three-year performance period and are granted in two tranches: 

l

Tranche 1 - awards vest according to a market-related performance condition which is based on the growth 
in the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (‘TSR’) over the performance period. The percentage of the 
TSR tranche awards that vest is as follows: 

Company’s TSR growth
Less than 50%
At least 50% but less than 75%
At least 75% but less than 100%

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

continued

The Remuneration Committee may use its discretion to adjust the percentage of TSR awards that are deemed to 
vest at the end of the vesting period. A likely reason is that the Committee considers that the Group’s strong 
operating performance is not reflected in the Company’s share price due to prevailing market conditions outside 
the Company’s control. 

l

Tranche 2 - awards vest according to non-market performance conditions as follows: 

20% based on annual revenue targets; 

20% based on annual profitability targets; and 

20% based on personal performance targets. 

Awards  made  under  all  plans  are  equity-settled.  The  Company  has  no  legal  or  constructive  obligation  to 
repurchase or settle the options in cash.  

Share options that are not exercised within 10 years from the date of grant will expire.   

At  31  December  2023,  1,031,499  awards  had  been  granted  with  market-related  performance  conditions 
(tranche 1) and 1,547,248 awards had been granted with non-market performance conditions (tranche 2). 

Shares held in employee benefit trust (‘EBT’) 
The Company also operates a jointly owned EBT share scheme for senior management, under which the trustee 
of the Company-sponsored EBT has acquired shares in the Company, jointly with a number of employees. The 
shares were acquired pursuant to certain conditions, set out in Jointly Owned Equity agreements (‘JOEs’). Subject 
to meeting the performance criteria conditions set out in the JOEs, the employees are able to benefit from most 
of any future increase in the value of the jointly owned EBT shares. The portion available is calculated based on 
the price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares at the time the employee wishes to take their portion. 

Employee interests in jointly owned EBT shares that are not exercised within 10 years from the date of grant will 
expire.  

Grant of LTIP options  
On 21 March 2023, the Company issued 787,041 share options with an exercise price of 10 pence per Ordinary 
Share under the LTIP. 

l

l

314,816 of the awards were issued with a market related performance condition (Tranche 1). 

472,225 of the awards were issued with non-market performance conditions (Tranche 2). 

The performance period is the three years from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2025. 

The fair value of the market related performance options has been calculated using the Monte Carlo model as it is 
considered to be a more appropriate model for options granted with multiple performance conditions. The fair value 
of the options granted with non-market performance conditions has been calculated using the Black-Scholes model.  

The significant inputs into the models for the IFRS 2 valuation were as follows: 

Exercise price (pence)
Expected volatility (%)
Expected life (years)
Risk-free rates (%)
Expected dividends

In  the  year  ended  31  December  2023,  the  Company  recognised  a  total  expense  of  USD0.3  million  (2022: 
USD0.25 million) in respect of employment-related securities. 

On 6 September 2023, the Company issued 216,519 Ordinary Shares of 0.1 pence each at a price of 27.6 pence 
per share, raising gross proceeds of USD74,693 (£59,759), in respect of the exercise of share options.  

Warrants 
In 2019, warrants were issued to MidCap as part of the Group’s new borrowing facilities. Options over 30,968 
shares were granted at an exercise price of £5.74. These options are equity-settled and remain exercisable. 
The weighted average remaining contractual life is 5.5 years (2022: 6.5 years).  

26. Financial instruments  

Financial risk management objectives  
Management provides services to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial 
markets and monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group. These risks include 
capital risk, cash flow interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and foreign currency risk.  

The policies for managing these risks are regularly reviewed and agreed by the Board. 

The  Group  does  not  enter  into  or  trade  financial  instruments,  including  derivative  financial  instruments,  for 
speculative purposes. 

Capital risk management 
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns 
while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s 
overall strategy is to minimise costs and liquidity risk. 

The capital structure of the Group consists of cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing loans and borrowings, 
leases  and  equity  attributable  to  owners  of  the  parent  company,  issued  share  capital,  reserves  and  retained 
earnings. 

The Group plans its capital requirements on a regular basis and, as part of this review, the Directors consider the 
cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital.

Fair value of financial instruments 
The Directors consider that the carrying amount of its financial instruments approximates to their fair value. 

Interest rate risk management 
The Group’s policy on interest rate management is agreed at Board level and is reviewed on an ongoing basis. 

The risk in the potential movement in interest received on cash surpluses held is limited due to little movement 
on deposit interest rates. 

The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term loans and borrowings that incur interest charges at a fixed 
rate above established parameters. See note 19. The Directors have performed a sensitivity analysis for the impact 
of changes in the interest rate charged on its loans and borrowings and have determined that a 1% (increase)/decrease 
in the interest rate would result in an additional (charge)/credit to the income statement of USD0.06 million.  

Credit risk management 
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations, resulting in financial 
loss to the Group. 

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date in respect of recognised financial assets is the carrying 
amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets. The Group does not hold any collateral. 

Credit  risk  arising  from  trade  receivables  is  mitigated  by  a  robust  procedure  including  credit  reviews  on  all 
customers and establishing a credit allowance that reflects any known risk. 

Generally, financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. 

The  credit  risk  on  liquid  funds  (cash)  is  considered  to  be  limited  as  a  result  of  the  Group’s  policy  that  the 
counterparties are financial institutions with an A rating or higher, assigned by international credit rating agencies.  

Liquidity risk management 
Ultimate  responsibility  for  liquidity  risk  management  rests  with  the  Board  of  Directors,  which  has  built  an 
appropriate  liquidity  risk  management  framework  for  the  management  of  the  Group’s  short-medium  and 
long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining 
adequate cash reserves and by continually monitoring forecast and actual cash flow. 

With the exception of loans and borrowings and leases, outlined in notes 19 and 21, respectively, the Group’s 
financial liabilities mature within six months. 

The Group does not face a significant liquidity risk with regard to its lease liabilities, which are monitored by the 
Board. 

At 31 December 2023, the Group was compliant with all the terms relating to the MidCap facilities. During the year, 
the Group increased the funds available to it under the terms of the facility from USD5 million to USD10 million. 

Foreign currency risk management 
The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies, with the result that exposure to 
exchange rate fluctuations arises.  

Other than small amounts of cash balances that are held in currencies other than the functional currency of the 
relevant entity, the majority of its monetary assets and monetary liabilities are denominated in the functional 
currency of the relevant entity. As a result, there is limited exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates that would 
impact the income statement of the Group. 

Annual Report and Accounts 2023 71

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

continued

The financial statements of certain of the Group’s foreign subsidiaries are denominated in currencies that differ 
from the Group’s presentation currency. As a result, the Group is exposed to movements in USD in respect of foreign 
exchange differences arising on the translation of recognised assets and liabilities, which may impact equity.  

The Group does not normally hedge against the effects of movements in exchange rates. 

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis 
The carrying amounts of the Group’s monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a different currency 
to the functional currency of the relevant entity are immaterial, and, as a result, the Group has not undertaken 
foreign currency sensitivity analysis in respect of the income statement. 

The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets and liabilities, including those that may give rise to net gain/(loss) 
on the hedge of net investment in foreign subsidiaries, denominated in currencies that differ from the Group’s 
presentation currency, and that, which, may therefore, have an impact on equity, are as follows: 

Assets
Liabilities

(70,307)

(23,257)

Euro 
USD 
‘000 

813 
(200) 

613 

Sensitivity analysis has been performed to indicate how equity would have been affected by changes in the 
exchange rate between GBP/Euro and USD. The analysis is based on the weakening and strengthening of USD 
by 5%. The sensitivity analysis includes assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that differs from the 
Group’s presentation currency and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency 
rates. 

The table below details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% decrease in USD against GBP/Euro. A negative number 
below indicates a decrease in equity where USD weakens 5% against GBP/Euro. For a 5% strengthening of USD, 
there would be an equal and opposite impact on equity, and the balance below would be positive.

Amounts due from subsidiaries 
The Group has taken advantage of the exemptions contained within IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures from the

Remuneration of key management personnel 
Key  management  personnel  are  regarded  as  being  members  of  the  Company’s  Board  of  Directors.  The 
governance section of this report includes persons other than Board members who are not considered key 
management personnel in terms of decision making, and they are, therefore, not included in the related party

Notes to the Company Financial Statements  

For the year ended 31 December 2023

C1. Principal accounting policies 
Tissue Regenix Group plc (the ‘Company’) is a public company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in 
England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006. 

The address of the registered office is Unit 3, Phoenix Court, Lotherton Way, Garforth LS25 2GY. The Company’s 
shares are admitted to trading on AIM. 

The presentation currency of these financial statements is pound sterling (‘£’), which is the currency in which the 
Company raises funds. The functional currency is pound sterling. 

These  financial  statements  were  prepared  in  accordance  with  Financial  Reporting  Standard  101:  Reduced 
Disclosure Framework (‘FRS 101’).  

In preparing these financial statements, the Company applies the recognition and measurement requirements of 
UK-adopted International Accounting Standards, amended where necessary to comply with the Companies Act 
2006. 

Under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006, the Company is exempt from the requirement to present its own 
statement of income. 

In these financial statements, the Company has applied the exemptions available under FRS 101 in respect of 
the following disclosures: 

l

l

l

l

l

Cash flow statement and related notes; 

Disclosure in respect of transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries;  

Disclosure in respect of capital management; 

The effects of new but not yet effective IFRS; and 

Disclosures in respect of the compensation of key management personnel. 

As the consolidated financial statements include the equivalent disclosures, the Company has also taken the 
exemptions under FRS 101 available in respect of the following disclosures: 

l

l

IFRS 2 Share-based payments in respect of group settled share-based payments; and 

Certain disclosures required by IFRS 13 Fair value measurement and the disclosures required by IFRS 7 
Financial instrument disclosures. 

The principal accounting policies adopted are the same as those set out in the Group’s consolidated financial 
statements and have, unless otherwise stated, been applied consistently to all years presented in these financial 
statements. 

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. Historical cost is generally based on 
the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. 

Judgements made by the Directors in the application of these accounting policies that have a significant effect 
on the financial statement and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are 
discussed in C2. 

Investments 
Fixed asset investments, including investments in subsidiaries, are stated at cost and reviewed for impairment if 
there are any indications that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Notes to the Company Financial Statements

C2. Critical accounting estimates and judgements 
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates 
and assumptions about the carrying value of the assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other 
sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that 
are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates 
are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period 
of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both the current and future periods. 

The following are the critical judgements and estimations that the Directors have made in the process of applying 
the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the 
financial statements. 

Estimates 

Recoverability of investments and loans to subsidiary undertakings 
The Company has investments and outstanding loans from its subsidiary undertakings and there is a risk that 
the carrying amount of the Company’s investments and loans will exceed the recoverable amount.  

In accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, as the subsidiary undertakings cannot repay the loans at the 
reporting date, the Directors have made an assessment of expected credit losses. Having considered multiple 
scenarios on the manner, timing, quantum and probability of recovery on the receivables, a cumulative lifetime 
ECL of £46.8 million has been recognised at 31 December 2023 (2022: £49.3 million), resulting in a reversal credit 
of £2.5 million. 

The calculation of the allowance for lifetime ECL requires a significant degree of estimation, in particular in 
determining the probability-weighted likely outcome for each scenario considered. The Directors assessment of 
ECL included repayment through future cash flows over time (which are inherently difficult to forecast for the 
Company at its current stage of development) and also the amount that could be realised through an immediate 
sale of the subsidiary undertakings. The Directors assessment of repayment through future cash flows included 
scenarios where the loan was not recovered in full. The Directors allocated a probability weighting of 90% to 
scenarios where recovery would be repayment over time and 10% to the scenario where immediate sale of the 
subsidiary undertaking was contemplated. 

It is possible that any or all of these key assumptions may change, which may then impact the estimated future 
cash flows expected to arise within the Company and may then require a material adjustment to the carrying 
value of the investments and loans in future periods.  

The carrying value of amounts owed by subsidiary undertakings at 31 December 2023 is disclosed in note C5 to 
the Company financial statements.

The Company has entered into a number of unsecured related party transactions with its subsidiary undertakings. 

Intercompany loans include a gross sum of £0.8 million (2022: £0.8 million) before a provision of £0.7 million 
(2022: £0.7 million) due from the Group’s EBT.  

The Company has made loans to its subsidiary undertakings which are interest free and recoverable on demand, 
other than an unsecured loan of £13.2 million to one of its subsidiary undertakings on which interest is charged 
at 4% above the Bank of England base rate. Loan interest is rolled up into the loan, and the loan and accrued 
interest are due for repayment in 2024.  

The repayment terms of the unsecured loan are currently being renegotiated, and repayment is not expected to 
be made within at least 12 months of the year end. 

The  Company  has  given  an  undertaking  that  it  will  continue  to  provide  financial  support  to  its  subsidiary 
undertakings and will not demand repayment of the loans within at least 12 months following 31 December 2023. 
As a result, all the loans have been classified as non-current receivables. 

The Directors have made an assessment of expected credit losses and have determined that a cumulative lifetime 
ECL of £46.8 million should be recognised at 31 December 2023 (2022: £49.3 million). See note C2.

As permitted by the provisions of the Companies Act 2006, the Company does not have an upper limit to its 
authorised share capital. 

The Ordinary Shares are fully paid and entitle the holder to full voting rights, to full participation and to distribution 
of dividends.

The Deferred Shares are not listed on AIM, do not give the holders any right to receive notice of, or to attend or 
vote at, any general meetings, and have no entitlement to receive a dividend or other distribution other than to a 
return of capital in the event of a winding up (and only after the holders of the Ordinary Shares have received the 
sum of £1 million per share). 

On 28 April 2023, the Company consolidated every 100 Ordinary Shares of 0.1 pence each into one ‘Consolidated 
Ordinary Share of 10 pence each’. Immediately following the consolidation, each Consolidated Ordinary Share 
was subdivided into one New Ordinary Share of 0.1 pence each and one New Deferred Share of 9.9 pence each. 
The New Ordinary and New Deferred Shares have the same rights as the existing Ordinary and Deferred Shares, 
respectively. 

Issued Ordinary Share capital 
On 21 June 2022, the Company issued 2,717,391 Ordinary Shares of 0.1 pence each at a price of 0.0276 pence 
per share, raising gross proceeds of £7,500, in respect of the exercise of share options (pre-consolidation). 

Immediately prior to the share consolidation on 28 April 2023, the Company issued 10 Ordinary Shares of 0.1 pence 
each at nil consideration to allow for an exact consolidation of 100:1. 

On 6 September 2023, the Company issued 216,519 Ordinary Shares of 0.1 pence each at a price of 27.6 pence 
per share, raising gross proceeds of £59,759, in respect of the exercise of share options.

unconditionally authorised to allot Relevant Securities: 

10.1. up to an aggregate nominal amount of £23,524.822; and 

10.2. comprising equity securities (as defined in section 560(1) of the Act) up to a further aggregate nominal 

amount of £23,524.822 in connection with an offer by way of a rights issue: 

10.2.1.   to  holders  of  Ordinary  Shares  in  the  capital  of  the  Company  in  proportion  (as  nearly  as 

practicable) to the respective numbers of Ordinary Shares held by them; and 

10.2.2.   to holders of other equity securities in the capital of the Company, as required by the rights of

resolution 10, such power shall be limited to the allotment of equity securities in connection with an 
offer by way of a rights issue):

£7,057.446, 

and this power shall expire at the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company after the passing of this 
resolution or on 25 July 2025 (whichever is the earlier), save that the Company may make an offer or 
agreement before this power expires which would or might require equity securities to be allotted for cash

at the date of this resolution, are revoked with immediate effect).

12.1.

the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be purchased is 7,057,446; 

12.2.

the minimum price (excluding expenses) which may be paid for a Share is 0.1p; 

12.3.

the maximum price (excluding expenses) which may be paid for a Share is an amount equal to 
105 per cent of the average of the middle market quotations for a Share as derived from the Daily

Notes 

Entitlement to attend and vote 
1.

The  right  to  vote  at  the  meeting  is  determined  by  reference  to  the  register  of  members.  Only  those 
shareholders registered in the register of members of the Company as at the close of business on 23 April 
2024 (or, if the meeting is adjourned, close of business on the date that is two working days before the date 
of the adjourned meeting) shall be entitled to attend and vote at the meeting in respect of the number of 
shares registered in their name at that time. Changes to entries in the register of members after that time 
shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote (and the number of votes they 
may cast) at the meeting. 

Proxies 
2.

A shareholder is entitled to appoint another person as his or her proxy to exercise all or any of his or her 
rights to attend and to speak and vote at the meeting. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. 

A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the meeting, provided that each proxy is 
appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that shareholder. Failure to 
specify the number of shares each proxy appointment relates to or specifying a number which when taken 
together with the numbers of shares set out in the other proxy appointments is in excess of the number of 
shares held by the shareholder may result in the proxy appointment being invalid. 

A proxy may only be appointed in accordance with the procedures set out in notes 3 and 4 below and the 
notes to the proxy form. 

The appointment of a proxy will not preclude a shareholder from attending and voting in person at the 
meeting. 

You can vote either:

l

By logging on to www.signalshares.com and following the instructions. 

If you are an institutional investor, you may also be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity 
platform, a process that has been agreed by the Company and approved by the Registrar. For further 
information regarding Proxymity, please go to www.proxymity.io. Your proxy must be lodged by 11.00 a.m. 
on 23 April 2024 in order to be considered valid or, if the meeting is adjourned, by the time that is 48 hours 
before the time of the adjourned meeting. Before you can appoint a proxy via this process, you will need 
to have agreed to Proxymity’s associated terms and conditions. It is important that you read these 
carefully as you will be bound by them and they will govern the electronic appointment of your proxy. An 
electronic proxy appointment via the Proxymity platform may be revoked completely by sending an 
authenticated message via the platform instructing the removal of your proxy vote. 

In  the  case  of  CREST  members,  by  utilising  the  CREST  electronic  proxy  appointment  service  in 
accordance with the procedures set out below.  

You may request a hard copy form of proxy directly from the registrars, Link Group, by emailing them 
at shareholderenquiries@linkgroup.co.uk or by calling them on 0371 664 0300 if calling from the 
UK  or  +44  (0)  371  664  0300  if  calling  from  outside  of  the  UK.  Calls  are  charged  at  the  standard 
geographic  rate  and  will  vary  by  provider.  Calls  outside  the  UK  will  be  charged  at  the  applicable 
international rate. Lines are open between 09:00 and 17:30, Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays 
in England and Wales). 

In order for a proxy appointment to be valid, a form of proxy must be completed. In each case, the form of 
proxy must be received by PXS 1, Link Group, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL, no later 
than 11.00 a.m. on 23 April (or, if the meeting is adjourned, no later than 48 hours before the time of any 
adjourned meeting).

3.

CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies for the meeting (or any adjournment of it) through 
the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST 
Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST-sponsored members, and those CREST members who 
have appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), 
who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf. 

For a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST 
message (a ‘CREST Proxy Instruction’) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & 
International Limited’s specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as 
described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a 
proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy, must, in order to be valid, 
be transmitted so as to be received by Link Group (ID RA10) no later than 11:00 a.m. on 23 April 2024 
(or, if the meeting is adjourned, no later than 48 hours before the time of any adjourned meeting). For this 
purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the 
message by the CREST Applications Host) from which Link Group is able to retrieve the message by enquiry 
to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time, any change of instructions to proxies appointed 
through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means. 

CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that 
Euroclear UK & International Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular 
messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy 
Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a 
CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure 
that his or her CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to 
ensure  that  a  message  is  transmitted  by  means  of  the  CREST  system  by  any  particular  time.  In  this 
connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are 
referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST 
system and timings. 

The  Company  may  treat  a  CREST  Proxy  Instruction  as  invalid  in  the  circumstances  set  out  in 
Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001. 

Corporate representatives 
4.

A shareholder that is a corporation may authorise one or more persons to act as its representative(s) at the 
meeting. Each such representative may exercise (on behalf of the corporation) the same powers as the 
corporation could exercise if it were an individual shareholder, provided that (where there is more than one 
representative and the vote is otherwise than on a show of hands) they do not do so in relation to the 
same shares. 

5.

Unless otherwise indicated on the form of proxy, CREST, Proxymity or any other electronic voting instruction, 
the proxy will vote as they think fit or, at their discretion, withhold from voting. 

Documents available for inspection 
6.

The following documents will be available for inspection during normal business hours at the registered 
office of the Company from the date of this notice until the time of the meeting. They will also be available 
for inspection at the place of the meeting from at least 15 minutes before the meeting until it ends: 

6.1 Copies of the service contracts of the Executive Directors. 

6.2 Copies of the letters of appointment of the Non-Executive Directors.

Biographical details of Directors 
7.

Biographical details of all those Directors who are offering themselves for reappointment at the meeting are 
set out on pages 17 and 20 of the enclosed annual report and accounts.  

Share capital 
8.

As at 18 March 2024 (the last practicable business day prior to the date of this notice), the Company’s issued 
share capital comprised 70,574,468 Ordinary Shares of 0.1 pence each, 1,171,971,322 deferred shares of 
0.4 pence each and 70,357,949 class 2 deferred shares of 9.9 pence each. Each ordinary share carries the 
right to vote at a general meeting of the Company. The deferred shares and class 2 deferred shares carry 
no voting rights. Therefore, the total number of voting rights as at the date of this document is 70,574,468.
