industries; licensees,
approvals and compliance; and the potential for cancellation or delay of
clinical studies by customers. It is anticipated that the risk profile will
not significantly change for the remainder of the year. Risk is an inherent
part of doing business and the profitability and strong cash position of the
Group, along with the growth profile of the business, leads the Directors to
believe that the Group is well placed to manage business risks successfully.
Going concern
The Directors have considered cashflow forecasts for the group, detailing cash
inflows and outflows for the period ending 31 December 2018. Based on their
review of these forecasts and consideration of the economic environment in
which the group operates, the Directors are satisfied that the Company has
sufficient resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future,
being a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this report.
Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the
financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2017.
Business Combinations
Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the
acquisition method. The consideration transferred on acquisition is the fair
value at the date of transaction for assets and liabilities transferred. All
acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill arises as the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the
assets transferred at the date of transaction. Goodwill is reviewed for
impairment annually, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment
losses. Impairment losses are not reversed in subsequent periods.
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation, including any fair
value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities on the
acquisition, are treated as assets and liabilities of that foreign operation
in accordance with IAS 21 and as such are translated at the relevant foreign
exchange rate at the statement of financial position date.
Adoption of new and revised standards
There are no new standards that have been issued but are not yet effective for
the financial year that are expected to have a material impact on the Group.

Goodwill in relation to the acquisition of Haemostatix was increased by
£58,000 during the period, following a re-assessment of the deferred tax asset
arising on the transaction.
Goodwill arising on acquisition of subsidiaries in the first half of 2016 was
based on initial valuations. Goodwill was subsequently reduced upon
identification of the associated intangible assets once purchase price
allocation was complete.
