Futura Medical plc (“Futura”) develops innovative products for the consumer healthcare market. The Company´s strategy is to develop innovative products and out–license their 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 pipeline. Futura´s shares trade on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange and the Company is based at The Surrey Research Park, Guildford, Surrey. 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 topically applied medicines, either stand–alone or in combination with a medical device. We only incorporate existing chemical entities into our products which gives our development activities 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 doctor´s 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 out–license our products during their development to established pharmaceutical and healthcare groups which offer the best potential commercial opportunities.
