6-month period ended June 30
The following table summarizes operating revenue for the periods under review:
| 6-month period ended June 30 | ||
|---|---|---|
| In thousands of euros | 2008 IAS 38 restatement |
2009 |
| Revenue from collaboration and licensing agreements | 4,417 | 2,590 |
| Government funding for research expenditures | 2,591 | 2,507 |
| Other revenue | 16 | 62 |
| Operating revenue | 7,024 | 5,159 |
Turnover is composed by revenue from collaboration and licensing agreements as well as by other revenue
For the six-month period ending on June 30, 2008 and 2009, revenue from collaboration and licensing agreements mostly came from the strategic partnership signed with Novo Nordisk A/S in March 2006 on the NK platform of the Company.
The revenue from this partnership for the six-month period ending on June 30, 2009 consists of:
Although the research and development collaboration part of the 2006 agreement ended in March 2009, the Company received additional research and development funding from Novo Nordisk A/S for collaborative work performed after March 2009 on selected products that are licensed to Novo Nordisk A/S. This additional research and development financing is expected to last until the end of 2009.
Government funding for research costs is mostly composed of the research tax credit. The increase in research and development expenses between the two periods under review resulted in the increase of the research tax credit: 2.1 million euros for the six-month period ending June 30, 2009 vs. 2.0 million euros for the year-ago period.
The following table breaks down the net operating expenses by function for the periods under review:
| 6-month period ending June 30 |
||
|---|---|---|
| In thousands of euros | 2008 IAS 38 restatement |
2009 |
| Research and development expenses | (9,279) | (9,753) |
| General and administrative expenses | (2,663) | (3,311) |
| Net operating expenses | (11,942) | (13,064) |
Research and development ("R&D") expenses include mostly R&D staff costs, product manufacturing costs, subcontracting costs (research, pre-clinical and clinical development) as well as costs of materials (reagents and other consumables) and pharmaceuticals products.
The difference in R&D expenses between the two periods under review (9.8 million euros for the six-month period ending June 30, 2009 vs. 9.3 million euros for the year-ago period, or +5.1%) reflects notably the continuing effort in the R&D activities but also results from a non cash impact of free shares already distributed in 2008 to R&D employees but for which vesting conditions were accelerated in early 2009 (non-cash expense of 0.7 million euros in the first half of 2009, compared to 0.4 million euros for the year-ago period).
Expenses for clinical development represented a total of 6.2 million euros for the six-month period ending June 30, 2009, or 64% of the R&D costs, to be compared with 3.7 million euros for the same year-ago period, or 41% of the R&D costs.
R&D expenses accounted for 75% of net operating expenses for the six-month period ending June 30, 2009 vs. 77% for the year-ago period.
General and administrative ("G&A") expenses include mostly costs of the "support" staff as well as external expenses for the management and development of our business (legal, auditing, business development, etc.).
These costs amounted to 3.3 million euros for the six-month period ending June 30, 2009 vs. 2.7 million euros for the six-month period ending June 30, 2008, a difference mostly related to the non cash impact of free shares already distributed in 2008 to G&A employees but for which vesting conditions were accelerated in early 2009 (non-cash expense of 1.0 million euros in the first half of 2009, compared to 0.3 million euros for the year-ago period).
G&A expenses accounted for 25% of net operating expenses for the six-month period ending June 30, 2009 vs. 23% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2008.
The following table breaks down the net operating expenses by nature of expense for the periods under review:
| 6-month period ended June 30 |
||
|---|---|---|
| In thousands of euros | 2008 IAS 38 restatement |
2009 |
| Costs of supplies and consumable materials | (1,237) | (1,065) |
| Intellectual property expenses | (322) | (440) |
| Other purchases and external expenses | (5,613) | (5,751) |
| Employee benefits other than share-based compensation | (3,360) | (3,323) |
| Share-based compensation | (965) | (1,747) |
| Depreciation and amortization | (258) | (512) |
| Other income and (expenses), net | (187) | (225) |
| Net operating expenses | (11,942) | (13,064) |
The changes in the most significant line items can be analyzed as follows:
Cash, cash equivalent and current financial instruments amounted to 36.1 million euros as at June 30, 2009, as compared to 33.8 million euros on December 31, 2008.
Since its inception in 1999, the Company has been primarily financed by issuing new securities. The Company also generated cash flow from its licensing activity (mostly in relation with the agreements with Novo Nordisk A/S), from research tax credit and from repayable government financing (Oséo). Repayable government financing amounted to 2.2 million euros on June 30, 2009, accounted as financial liabilities.
The other key balance sheet items for June 30, 2009 were as follows:
Cash-flow items
The net cash flow generated for the six-month period ending on June 30, 2009 amounted to 2.0 million euros compared to a net cash flow absorbed by operations of 0.1 thousand euros for the year-ago period. This change is mostly explained by the effect on working capital of the early repayment (by the French' State) in the first half 2009 of receivables for research tax credits as at December 31, 2008 amounting 10.4 million euros. The cash flow generated from the operations for the six-month period ending on June 30, 2009 amounted to 2.4 million euros compared to a cash flow absorbed by operations of 5.9 thousand euros for the year-ago period.
As part of its improvement project, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 38, intangible assets. This amendment was applicable to reporting period beginning on or after January 1st, 2009.
Among other things, this amendment of IAS 38 clarifies that certain type of costs must be accounted as expenses when the entity receives the related goods or services rather than when the entity uses these goods or services.
Under its former accounting policy, the Company used to recognize material acquired for its R&D activities as prepayment and to expense them when used.
Consistently with the classification provided by the IASB in the amendment of IAS 38, the Company changed its accounting policy to expense material acquired for its R&D activities when related items are received.
As required by IAS 8, accounting policies, changes in accounting methods and accounting estimates, the Company applied this change retrospectively as if the new accounting policy had always been applied, with the following impact of past accounting periods:
| In thousands of euros | As of January 1, 2008 |
As of June 30, 2008 |
As of December 31, 2008 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Effect on Shareholders' Equity: | (1,565) | (1,742) | (3,574) |
| Effect on the net income: | |||
| For the six-month period: | - | (177) | - |
| For the twelve-month period: | - | - | (2,187) |
During the first half of 2009, the Company has decided to close its facilities in Lyon-Dardilly as at the end of August 2009, as part as measures so as to rationalize its organisation. Personnel of this site were partly relocated to Marseilles (for the TLR research) and partly to the Company's fully-owned subsidiary, IPH Services SAS, based in Lyon and dedicated to the Platine platform.

In addition, even if the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and the development of the industry in which the Company operates are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in future periods.

To the Shareholders,
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by the Executive Board and in accordance with the requirements of article L. 451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier), we hereby report to you on:
These condensed half-year consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Executive Board. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-year consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 - the standard of IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.
Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw your attention to Note 2 c to the condensed halfyear consolidated financial statements, which describes the change in accounting policy applied from January 1, 2009 regarding the recognition of purchases of materials dedicated to Company's research and development activities following the amendment of IAS 38.
We have also verified the information given in the half-year management report on the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements subject to our review. We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements.

Innate Pharma (the "Company") is a French Société Anonyme incorporated and domiciled in Marseilles, France. The Company is listed on the NYSE-Euronext stock exchange in Paris, France.
Innate Pharma is a biopharmaceutical firm specialized in immunology, developing first-inclass drug candidates. The Company works on immunotherapies, with two different approaches: immunomodulatory compounds, activating or inhibiting specific innate immunity cells, and cytotoxic antibodies (biological molecules directly targeting antigens expressed by cancer cells and, by doing so, destroying those cells). These approaches could have an application in several therapeutic areas such as cancer, inflammation or infectious diseases.
As at June 30, 2009 the Company had seven proprietary products under development, none of which have been marketed yet, as well as two pre-clinical programs licensed to the Danish biopharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk A/S, a shareholder.
Currently, the Company's strategy is to develop on its own or in partnership its drugcandidates in cancer, and through partnerships for the other therapeutic areas.
In the long term, the Company intends to become a commercial company, selling its product directly or through commercial partners.
The Company's activity is not subject to seasonal fluctuations.
The Company is and should continue, in the near to mid-term, to be financed primarily through the issuance of new equity instruments. The current adverse equity market conditions could negatively impact the Company if the latter needs refinancing in the near future.
The Company has recently (2008 and 2009) incorporated two fully-owned subsidiaries: IPH Services SAS (previously Innate Pharma France SAS), a company which is intended to provide immuno-monitoring services, and Innate Pharma, Inc., registered in the Delaware, United States, to manage its business development activities in the United States.
These two companies are fully consolidated.
The organization chart of the Company and its subsidiaries as at June 30, 2009 is as follows:
These interim consolidated financial statements have been approved by the Executive Board on August 28, 2009 and examined by the Supervisory Board on that same day. They are not subject to approval from the Shareholders' meeting.
The interim financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2009 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. They should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2008 prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union and presented in paragraph 20.1 of the "Document de Référence" registered by the French stock-market regulator, the "Autorités des Marchés Financiers", on May 5, 2009 under the reference number R. 09-043.
The accounting policies applied are the same as those adopted in the preparation of the annual financial statements in accordance with IFRS as at December 31, 2008, except for the change in accounting policies which is described in 2c thereafter that has led the Company to restate its consolidated financial statements with effect on January 1, 2008. Application of the following existing standard amendment (adopted by the European Union) is mandatory for the first time for the financial period beginning on January 1, 2009 and, as such, has been adopted by the Company:

c) Mandatory change in accounting method
In January 2009, the European Union has adopted the amendment to IAS 38 (published in May 2008) that clarifies the accounting treatment of certain prepaid expenses. This amendment, applicable from January 1, 2009, has led the Company to change its accounting policies and to expense at the time of their purchase R&D materials acquired but not yet used in its operations. Prior to this amendment, the Company used to recognize these purchases as prepayments and to expense them when the materials were used in the operations.
Consolidated financial statements have been restated to this effect. Comparative accounting periods have been labelled "IAS 38 restatement".
