Update: Allersys and core business on track

Development of the automated Allersys allergy test menu is progressing well, with 32 optimised assays (with 40 targeted for launch) and customer testing underway. A launch in FY16 is possible, but we are not forecasting revenues until FY17. Omega’s Visitect CD4 test to monitor HIV patients hit a development snag with its stability. The issue is reproducible so could be tracked down quickly, but the delay is unknown as yet. Visitect has rapid sales potential of up to £25m a year once validated. The share price should recover once the new timing is confirmed. FY15 results were as expected and cash remains strong for FY16.
