Futura Medical plc ("Futura") develops innovative products for the consumer healthcare market. Our vision is to leverage our skills and expertise to bring to market some of the worlds most innovative consumer healthcare products. The Companys strategy is to out-license manufacture and distribution to major pharmaceutical and healthcare groups. Futura is developing a portfolio of products in sexual healthcare and pain relief management and is evaluating further therapeutic opportunities as potential additions to its growing pipeline. Futura is based at The Surrey Research Park, Guildford, Surrey, and its shares trade on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. Our business strategy is centred on selecting and developing products based on five key criteria:  Return on Investment: we focus on consumer healthcare products that offer the potential for a significant return on the costs of development.  Product Profile: we focus on locally applied medicines, either stand-alone or in combination with a medical device. We only use existing chemical entities which enables us to have a lower risk profile.  Over The Counter ("OTC"): our aim is to produce safe and effective OTC products made available to consumers on a general retail basis or through chemists without the need for a doctors prescription.  Strong Intellectual Property: the products are underpinned by our developing and retaining valuable intellectual property including know-how, patents and trademarks to protect their commercial position.  Licensing: we aim to license our products during their development to established pharmaceutical and healthcare groups who offer the best potential commercial opportunities.
