STATUTORY AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE COMPANY ASIT BIOTECH SA FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016

As required by law and the by-laws, we report to you in the context of our statutory auditor's mandate. This report includes our opinion on the annual accounts, as well as the required additional statements. The annual accounts include the balance sheet as at December 31, 2016, the income statement for the year then ended, and the disclosures.

Report on the annual accounts - Unqualified opinion

We have audited the annual accounts of the company for the year ended December 31, 2016, prepared in accordance with the financial-reporting framework applicable in Belgium, which show a balance sheet total of 20.609.641 EUR and a loss for the year of 16.001.144 EUR.

Responsibility of the board of Directors for the preparation of the annual accounts

The board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of annual accounts that give a true and fair view in accordance with the financial-reporting framework applicable in Belgium, and for such internal control as the board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of annual accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Responsibility of the statutory auditor

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these annual accounts based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) as adopted in Belgium. Those standards require that we comply with the ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual accounts are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the annual accounts. The procedures selected depend on the statutory auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the annual accounts, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the statutory auditor considers the company's internal control relevant to the preparation of annual accounts that give a true and fair view, in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the board of Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the annual accounts.

We have obtained from the board of Directors and company officials the explanations and information necessary for performing our audit.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Company number: BE 0460.798.795

Unqualified opinion

In our opinion, the annual accounts give a true and fair view of the company's net equity and financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2016, and of its results for the year then ended, in accordance with the financial-reporting framework applicable in Belgium.

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note C 6.20 in the financial statements which describes the uncertainty with regard to the Company's ability to attract additional funding to develop its full development plan and the ability of the Company's management to reassess its development plan.
