Investment Perspective

Futura Medical has struck an innovative deal with Atlantis Group to market its MED3000 topical gel for erectile dysfunction throughout China and South East Asia. Atlantis, and its associated companies, will fund any registration studies and commercialisation costs in the region, with the resulting profits being split 50:50. Atlantic will also invest £2.0m in Futura Medical through £1.5m as Convertible Loan Notes and £0.5m in warrants, with a conversion price of 20p and exercise price of 22p respectively. The collaboration addresses market access to the largest target population for MED3000. Updating our model to reflect this deal, our new valuation is £181.5m, equivalent to 73.1p per share (71.3p fully diluted), from £153.8m, 60.9p a share, previously.
