The Company also announces that following the publication of FRS 100 'Application of Financial Reporting Requirements' by the Financial Reporting Council, it is required to change the accounting framework for its entity financial statements and those of its UK subsidiaries, which currently adopt UK GAAP.

For the year ended 31 December 2015 and future years, the parent entity and its UK subsidiaries intend to adopt FRS 102 which is based on International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ('IFRS').  As part of the adoption of FRS 102, the Company and group subsidiaries intend to take advantage of the "Reduced Disclosure Framework" available within FRS 102.

About Venture Life

Venture Life is an international consumer self-care company focused on developing, manufacturing and commercialising products for the ageing population. The Group's product range and pipeline currently includes food supplements for lowering cholesterol and maintaining brain function, dermo-cosmetics for addressing the signs of ageing, and medical devices for improving minor aches and pains, dry eyes and itchy skin. The products, which typically are recommended by pharmacists or healthcare practitioners, are available primarily through pharmacies supplied by the Group's international distribution partners.

Venture Life recently acquired Periproducts Limited, an oral care products company with a range of premium products including mouthwashes, which are alcohol-free, and toothpastes. Products in Periproducts' leading range, UltraDEX®, are used to treat bad breath, remineralise and whiten teeth and kill bacteria which cause plaque, which can in turn lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Incorporating patent protected and licensed intellectual property, the UltraDEX® products, including UltraDEX® Recalcifying & Whitening range, are regarded as being particularly effective at managing bad breath, as supported by clinical data evidencing efficacy. 

Through its manufacturing company, Biokosmes, the Group also provides development and manufacturing services to companies in the medical devices and cosmetic sectors.
