    As the exposure of RAC grows with new investors, I thought it would be useful to put together a resource for a cash flow forecast for the company. When investing in new biotech companies, cashflow management and whether or not the company will have enough money to run trials are often unknowns. Race has historically shown strong cashflow management.

    Common questions when investing in biotechs
    - Will this company need to raise capital again? Causing futher dilution to my position or need to go to the debt market
    - How long is our current runway and will that be sufficient to see through the programs
    - Specifically to RAC, will we have enough funds to execute on the share buy back and the planned trials at the same time

    ***Note, I am not associated with Race. I am simply a long investor. This has been put together with my assumuptions. Many assumptions will turn out to be incorrect and should be not relied upon***

    I have put together this tool as a visual aid for where Race might be in terms of cash position over the next 24 months. This is draft only, I will update figures on this post as they become more clear over time. If you have any suggestions or want to change an assumption, I will come back and update. There is also space for future income.
