   5.             Acquisition 

On 4 March 2014, the Company announced the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of Activiomics Limited ("Activiomics") for a total consideration of up to GBP4.0 million in new ordinary shares of 5 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"). Activiomics is a private UK based proteomics company founded in 2010 and spun out of Barts and the London Medical School, part of Queen Mary University of London. Activiomics has a powerful technology for protein identification which will help enable Retroscreen to mine its biological samples for novel insights into target diseases.

The GBP4.0 million consideration is for the entire issued share capital of Activiomics (on a fully diluted basis including all outstanding options), split between a GBP3.08 million initial consideration payable on the date of the transaction and GBP0.71 million of contingent consideration payable on the first anniversary of the date of transaction subject to the satisfaction of the successful transfer of technology to the Company. This represents the fair value of the deferred consideration in line with the expected payment based on the terms of the agreement. Activiomics option holders rolled over their options into Retroscreen options on similar terms, with options valued at GBP171k in respect of the initial consideration and GBP40k in respect of the contingent consideration.

The initial consideration was satisfied by the issue of 996,901 Ordinary shares in the Company. Following admission of the new shares to trading on AIM, Retroscreen's total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights in issue was 54,723,821.

The amounts recognised in respect of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as set out in the table below:

 
                                                            GBP'000

  Intangible assets                                           2,541

 Total consideration                                          4,000 
===============================================  ================== 
 
 Satisfied by: 
 
 Cash                                                            41 
 Equity instruments (issue of ordinary shares)                3,037 
  Deferred consideration                                        922 
 
 Total consideration transferred                              4,000 
===============================================  ================== 
 

The goodwill of GBP1.4m represents the premium paid in anticipation of future profitability from assets that are not capable of being separately identified and separately recognised such as the expectation that the Company will be able to leverage its wider market access and strong financial position to generate sustainable financial growth beyond what Activiomics would have potentially achieved as a stand-alone company.

None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The impact of Activiomics results for the period are not material to the Group as a whole.

The intangible assets acquired as part of the acquisition relate to the proteomics technology, the fair value of which is dependent on estimates of attributable cost savings, and are being amortised over five years. The fair value of the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities is provisional pending finalisation of the fair value exercise.

   6.             Post Balance Sheet Event 

On 14 August 2014, the Company announced that it had raised GBP33.6 million (before expenses), subject to shareholder approval, by way of a placing of 12,923,077 new Ordinary Shares of 25p each with both new and existing institutional shareholders at a price of 260 pence per Ordinary Share. Following completion of the placing on 1 September 2014 and subsequent admission of the 12,923,077 new Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM, the total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights in issue was 67,646,898.
