LONDON (ShareCast) - Manchester based biotechnology firm EpiStem said full-year pre-tax loss widened but trading in the first three months of the new financial year has
been strong.
The group, which specialises in oncology and gastrointestinal diseases, said pre-tax loss grew to £1.33m for the year ended 30 June 2008 compared with just under £1.20m the year before. Revenues rose to £2.07m from £1.36m previously.
Current trading has been strong with revenues 20% ahead of the comparative period last year, it said.
"Despite the difficult market and trading conditions, the outlook for Epistem is increasingly positive, although we remain attentive to the challenges ahead," the group added.
