Up-for-sale healthcare companies backer NetScientific PLC (LON:NSCI) has yet to receive any firm offers for any of the companies in its portfolio.

At the end of the current calendar year, NetScientific is expected to have available cash resources of roughly £3mln. Next year and the year after the company expects to incur annual costs of roughly £2mln and thinks it will be obliged to pump around £5mln each year in its portfolio companies should those companies fail to raise external finance.

As a result, NetScientific continues to assess all of its strategic options, including seeking additional funding from its shareholders and taking material action to further reduce its costs, which may include seeking a delisting of its shares.
