GENinCode (AIM:GENI)

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★★

Overview: GENinCode Plc specializes in developing and commercializing clinical genetic tests for predictive health risk analysis, operating both in the United Kingdom and internationally, with a market cap of £6.28 million.

Operations: The company generates £2.60 million in revenue from its development and commercialization of clinical genetic tests.

Market Cap: £6.28M

GENinCode Plc, with a market cap of £6.28 million, remains pre-revenue despite generating some income from its genetic tests. The company is currently unprofitable and not expected to achieve profitability in the next three years. However, it has no debt and short-term assets exceed liabilities, providing some financial stability. Recent developments include a £4.5 million equity offering and the inclusion of CARDIO inCode in the US Clinical Lab Fee Schedule for Medicare reimbursement, which could enhance revenue potential if successfully adopted across healthcare systems in both the US and Spain's Barcelona region for coronary heart disease prevention initiatives.

Overview: Sunda Energy Plc, with a market cap of £15.82 million, operates as an independent oil and gas exploration and production company through its subsidiaries.

Operations: No revenue segments have been reported for Sunda Energy.

Market Cap: £15.82M

Sunda Energy Plc, with a market cap of £15.82 million, operates as a pre-revenue oil and gas exploration company. Despite its unprofitability, it maintains financial stability with no debt over the past five years and short-term assets of £6.3 million exceeding liabilities. The company has a cash runway sufficient for more than a year based on current free cash flow and could extend to 2.6 years if historical reduction rates continue. However, the board's inexperience is notable with an average tenure of just 0.8 years, while share price volatility remains high compared to most UK stocks.

Market Cap: £11.21M

Bisichi PLC, with a market cap of £11.21 million, derives significant revenue from its coal mining operations (£45.14 million) and smaller contributions from property (£1.27 million).

While short-term liabilities exceed assets (£24.2M vs £14.3M), long-term liabilities are well covered by short-term assets (£2.7M).
