  • o Start of European roll-out with launches in Germany, the largest pharmaceutical market in Europe, and Austria.
  • o Expansion of exclusive license and distribution agreement with Pharma Bavaria International for commercialisation in South America, thereby broadening the addressable market for Maxigesic IV in Latin America and the Caribbean to 17 countries.
  • o Major partnership in the U.S. with Hikma Pharmaceuticals whereby Hyloris is eligible to a license fee and regulatory and commercial-based milestone payments of up to USD\$10 million plus a share of any additional product-related income received by AFT in the U.S.
  • o Significant enlargement of European footprint through multiple exclusive license agreements for commercialisation in Poland, Greece, the Nordics, Spain, Portugal, and The Netherlands.
  • Sotalol IV, a novel, patented, IV formulation of oral sotalol for the treatment of atrial fibrillation commercialised by AltaThera in the U.S.: significant expansion of AltaThera's sales force to accelerate commercial roll-out and inclusion in hospital drug formularies.

R&D and regulatory update

  • Maxigesic IV:
  • o Preparations to submit a new drug application (NDA) to the FDA further advanced, with filing in the U.S. expected shortly.
  • o Obtained additional national marketing authorisations in Europe and Rest of the World, thereby further broadening the geographical base where Maxigesic IV is approved to 24 countries today.
  • o Patents granted (exclusivity to 2035-2038) across multiple jurisdictions, including Japan, Singapore, Canada, Mexico, and China.
  • HY-004: initiated a Phase 1 study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of HY-004 oral solution – the study also includes exploratory efficacy endpoints.
  • Pipeline expansion: signed a partnership with Purna Female Healthcare to develop and commercialise Miconazole-Domiphen Bromide (MCZ-DB) a novel, topical, dual mode-of-action combination treatment for severe and recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), a debilitating vaginal fungal infection for which there is currently no effective treatment available.

Key Financial Highlights and Analysis of Results of Operations

i One-off expenses related to the unwinding of the license agreements with the Alter Pharma Group

ii For the period 1 January to 30 June

iii Including net proceeds from the IPO and issuance of convertible bonds

Total revenue and other income

During the first six months of 2021, total revenue and other income increased to €1,145 thousand compared to €102 thousand in the first half-year of 2020.

Revenues increased by 922% to €838 thousand, compared to €82 thousand for the first six months of 2020. The significant growth was mainly driven by recognised income from a pre-commercial milestone payment related to Maxigesic® IV, partnered with AFT Pharmaceuticals.

Other income amounted to €307 thousand compared to €20 thousand for the same period in 2020 thanks to higher R&D related incentive income from the Federal government.

Results

The Company realised a net loss of €8,240 thousand for the six-month period ending 30 June 2021, compared to a net loss of €3,742 thousand for the first half-year of 2020. The higher loss is meanly driven by the one-off lump sum of €5,250 thousand and €500 thousand future potential earn-out payments related to the successful renegotiating and unwinding of the license agreements with the Ather Pharma Group for the lead products, Maxigesic IV, HY-075 and HY-038, and the high-barrier generic, Fusidic Acid Cream in Canada. This transaction was recognised as other operating expenses (see also under the section "Significant events and transactions" on page 3).

Operating loss amounted to €7,913 thousand for the first half-year of 2021, compared to an operating loss of €3,633 thousand for the first half-year of 2020, mainly impacted by the successful renegotiation and unwinding of the license agreements for various lead products with the Alter Pharma Group.

R&D expenditure during the first six months of 2021 amounted to €1,560 thousand, compared to €1,172 thousand for the first half-year of 2020. The increase was mainly driven by the costs related to outsourced product development activities.

Despite the further expansion of the Company's Group Structure and key hires, general and administration expenses decreased to € 1,608 thousand compared to €2,454 thousand for the first half-year of 2020. The difference is mainly driven by the transaction costs in 2020 related to the successful IPO on Euronext Brussels and the convertible bonds.

Cash Position

Current cash and cash equivalents totalled €53,465 thousand on 30 June 2021, compared to €66,783 thousand on 30 June 2020.

A net decrease of €10,934 thousand in cash and cash equivalents was recorded for the six-month period ending 30 June 2021, compared to a net increase of €66,578 thousand during the first half-year of 2020. The net decrease was mainly driven by the net operational cash burn of €9,282 thousand, impacted by one-time other expenses, and committed milestone investments in joint ventures (net cash used in investing activities), compared to a net cash inflow forthe same period in 2020 of €66,970 thousand, driven by the net proceeds from financing activities from the IPO on Euronext Brussels and the issuance of convertible bonds).

A detailed overview and explanation of the condensed interim financial statements are available in the Notes of this report.

Outlook for the Remainder of 2021

  • Pipeline expansion: addition of at least three new reformulated or repurposed product candidates through in-licensing or joint ventures
  • Clinical development:
  • o Study results: i) pivotal study of Atomoxetine oral solution (attention deficit hyperactive disorder); ii) Phase 1 PK/safety study of HY-004 oral solution (indication not disclosed)
  • o Study starts: i) pivotal study of Atomoxetine oral solution; ii) Phase 2 dose-finding study of Miconazole Domiphen-Bromide (severe and recurrent VVC)
  • Commercial products: i) Maxigesic IV: continue roll-out in Europe and Rest of World, and submission of a new drug application to the FDA; ii) Sotalol IV: accelerate roll-out in the U.S.

With cash and cash equivalents of €53.47 million at 30 June 2021, the Company is well-capitalised to advance all current pipeline assets as planned and execute its current business plan with the expectation to expand the portfolio to 30 candidate - and marketed products by 2024.

Significant Events and Transactions

On 5 February 2021, Hyloris and Purna Female Healthcare (PFH) entered into a partnership to develop and commercialise an innovative combination therapy for the treatment of severe and recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (rVVC). Severe and rVVC are debilitating vaginal fungal infections for which there are no effective treatment options currently available. PFH is a special purpose vehicle founded to exclusively develop a combination of the well-known antifungal Miconazole with Domiphen Bromide (MCZ-DB) for vaginal topical application. Hyloris has committed to milestone related investments of €4,270 thousand (contributions to the equity) in PFH, of which €1,270 thousand was paid at signing.

On 24 June 2021 Hyloris announced that it has successfully renegotiated and unwound its earlier license agreements with the Alter Pharma Group. We refer to the public announcement in accordance with article 7:97, § 4/1 of BCCA regarding a transaction between related parties. See also detailed explanation in note 21 of this report.

4. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. General Information

Hyloris Pharmaceuticals SA (the "Company" or "Hyloris") is a limited liability company governed by Belgian law. The address of its registered office is Blvd Gustave Kleyer 17, 4000 Liège, Belgium.

Hyloris is a specialty biopharma company focused on innovating, reinventing, and optimising existing medications to address important healthcare needs and deliver relevant improvements for patients, healthcare professionals and payors. Hyloris has built a broad, patented portfolio of 13 reformulated and repurposed value-added medicines that have the potential to offer significant advantages over available alternatives.

Two products are initial stages of commercialisation with partners: Sotalol IV for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, and Maxigesic® IV, a non-opioid post-operative pain treatment. The Company's development strategy primarily focuses on the FDA's 505(b)2 regulatory pathway, which is specifically designed for pharmaceuticals for which safety and efficacy of the molecule have already been established. This pathway can reduce the clinical burden required to bring a product to market, and significantly shorten the development timelines and reduce costs and risks.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 4 August 2021 and are available on the Hyloris website.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation

The Group's condensed consolidated financial statements for the 6-month period ended 30 June 2021 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union and comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together to as 'the Group')

This condensed consolidated financial information does not include all the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro (€) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (€'000) which may result in minor discrepancies in the totals and sub-totals disclosed in the financial tables and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.

These financial statements are prepared on an accrual basis and on the assumption that the entity is in going concern and will continue in operation in the foreseeable future (see below).

The preparation of the interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Group accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.

Change in accounting policies

The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation have been applied in these interim condensed financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, except for the impact of the adoption of new Standard and Interpretations as described below:

  • Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform Phase 2 (effective January 1, 2021): the Amendments aim to assist companies in providing useful information to investors about the effects of interest rate benchmark reform on financial statements.
  • Amendment to IFRS 16 Leases: COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021 but not yet endorsed in the EU.

The above mentioned IFRS pronouncement did not have a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Following the Group's investment in the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) Purna Female Healthcare in February 2021, a new accounting policy has been defined and described here below.

Joint arrangements

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists when decisions about relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

The results, assets and liabilities of joint ventures are incorporated in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale (in which case it is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale).

Under the equity method, on initial recognition, investments in joint ventures are recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost, and the carrying amount is adjusted for postacquisition changes in the Group's share of the net assets of the joint venture, less any impairment of the value of individual investments. Losses of a joint venture in excess of the Group's interest in that joint venture (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate or joint venture) are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and (contingent) liabilities of the associate or joint venture recognised at the date of acquisition is goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is assessed for impairment as part of that investment.

Where a Group entity transacts with a joint venture of the Group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the relevant associate or joint venture.

3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements for the 6-month period ended 30 June 2021, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and key sources of estimations uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.

4. Financial Instruments Fair Value Disclosures

The table below summarises all financial instruments by category in accordance with IFRS 9:

(in € thousand) IFRS 9 Category 30 June 2021 31 December 2020
Financial assets At amortised cost 12 12
Other non-current assets At amortised cost 739 -
Trade receivables At amortised cost 792 48
Other financial assets At amortised cost 20 7
Other current assets At amortised cost 250
Cash and cash equivalents At amortised cost 53,465 64,399
Total financial assets 55,278 64,466
Non-current lease liabilities At amortised cost 83 106
Non-current other financial
liabilities
At amortised cost 10,218 7,885
Lease liabilities At amortised cost 47 46
Other financial liabilities At amortised cost 1,500 409
Trade payables At amortised cost 897 1,595
Total financial liabilities 12,745 7,887

For the above-mentioned financial assets and liabilities, the Company considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.

5. Operating Segments

According to IFRS 8, reportable operating segments are identified based on the "management approach". This approach stipulates external segment reporting based on the Group's internal organisational and management structure and on internal financial reporting to management.

The Group's activities are managed and operated in one segment, pharmaceuticals. There is no other significant class of business, either individual or in aggregate. As such, management reviews the operating results and operating plans and makes resource allocation decisions on a company wide basis.

Revenues generated during the six-month period ending 30 June 2021 includes recognised income from pre-commercial milestone payments related to Maxigesic IV, partnered with AFT Pharmaceuticals and royalties on net sales of Sotalol IV, commercialised by AltaThera in the U.S.

Geographical information

Revenue reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, and other comprehensive income and non-current assets recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position are located in Belgium, country of domicile of the Company.

6. Intangible Assets

In the 6-month period ended 30 June 2021, the significant movements in intangible assets are related to the successful renegotiated and unwound license agreements with the Alter Pharma (see note 21).

The intangible assets related to capitalised development are not amortised until the moment they are available for use as intended by management, i.e. ready for commercialization. The development costs of Sotalol IV, for which amortisation already started, have a remaining useful life of 5 years.

As long as the assets are not amortised, they are tested for any impairment losses on an annual basis or more frequently if required. The impairment test is performed by product and measures the recoverable amount. No impairment loss has been recognised during the period.

No intangible assets have been pledged in the context of financial liabilities.

7. Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

On 5 February 2021, the Group entered into a partnership with Purna Female Healthcare, a special purpose vehicle founded to develop and commercialise Miconazole-Domiphen Bromide, and which is accounted under the equity method of accounting (Joint Venture). At the acquisition date, the net assets of Purna Female Healthcare were limited to the available cash in the company, hence no fair value adjustment has been identified. Hyloris committed an investment of €4,270 thousand, of which €1,270 thousand is already paid. Hyloris owns 20% of Purna Female Healthcare (later payments will not result in a higher percentage of ownership) and is eligible, based on contractual variables driven by the profitability of the company, to receive up to a maximum of 45% of the net profits generated by PFH. Hence the future economic interest of Hyloris in Purna Female Healthcare will be changed and will be driven by the profitability of the company.

(in € thousand) 30 June 2021 31 December 2020
Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures 4,270
Earnings/losses from Associates and Joint Ventures (78)

8. Other Non-Current Assets

The balance sheet as at 30 June 2021, held (i) a non- current receivable from the Alter Pharma Group for a total of €395 thousand (see note 21 and our section on Significant events and transactions) and (ii) a receivable from the Belgian Government for R&D incentives (R&D Tax Credit) for a total of €345 thousand (see note 13).

9. Trade Receivables and Other Receivables

(in € thousand) 30 June 2021 31 December 2020
Trade receivables 792 48

Trade receivables – Net 792 48
Other receivables 1,290 205
Other receivables 1,290 205
Trade and other receivables – Current 2,082 253

The trade receivables as at 30 June 2021 mainly relate to pre-commercial milestone earned during the six-month period ending 30 June 2021. An impairment analysis of trade receivables is done on an individual level, and there are no individual significant impairments. The carrying amount of the Group's trade receivables (gross) is denominated in USD\$. During the period, the payment terms for the receivables have neither deteriorated nor been renegotiated. The maximum credit risk exposure at the end of the reporting period is the carrying value of each caption of receivables mentioned above. The Group does not hold any collateral as security. Other receivables mainly include

recoverable VAT, mainly as a result from the successful renegotiation and unwinding of the license agreements with the Ather Pharma Group

Pre-paid R&D expenses 795 1,882
Other pre-paid expenses 48 72
Other current assets 250 -
Other current assets 1,093 1,954

Pre-paid R&D expenses relate to payments made by the Group for research and development projects conducted by third parties and will be recorded in profit and loss when these incur. The decrease of €1,087 thousand compared to 31 December 2020, is mainly related to the termination of the development projects conducted by Alter Pharma and its subsidiaries for €894 thousand (see note 21).

Pre-paid R&D expenses of €795 thousand per 30 June 2021 mainly relate to the development agreement with Generic Specialty Pharma Ltd (, a subsidiary of the Alter Pharma Group and a related party of Hyloris prior to 24 June 2021), for the clinical development of Fusidic Acid Cream.

The other current assets of €250 thousand per 30 June 2021 relate to the termination of the development projects conducted by Alter Pharma and its subsidiaries (see note 21).

The loans from shareholders are unsecured, bear a fixed nominal interest rate of 4% (6% effective interest rate under IFRS 9) and are payable the earlier of 31 December 2022 or, if and when, the Company will generate a positive EBIT. The increase is the result of the amortised cost method.

Recoverable cash advance

In the six-month period ending 30 June 2021, the Group settled the recoverable cash advance ('RCA') received from the Walloon Region by paying back the unutilised cash for an amount of €409 thousand.

Other financial Liabilities

In the six-month period ending 30 June 2021, the Group (i) successfully renegotiated the license agreements for multiple lead products with the Alter Pharma Group and (ii) committed to milestone related investments (contributions to the equity) in PFH. As of 30 June 2021, this resulted in respectively, a non-current other financial liability of €500 thousand, and a current and non-current other financial liability of each €1,500 thousand.

The non-current other financial liabilities of €2,000 thousand have a maturity of more than 1 year and less than 5 years.

Trade payables mainly relate to the R&D activities. The fair value of trade payables approximates their carrying amount. Other payables mainly relate to the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors.

14. Total Revenue and Other Income

Revenues generated in the six-month period include recognised income from a pre-commercial milestone payment related to Maxigesic IV, partnered with AFT Pharmaceuticals and royalty income on net sales of Sotalol IV, commercialised by AltaThera in the U.S. In the six-month period ending 30 June 2021, the Group realised other operating income of €307 thousand compared to €20 thousand over the same period last year:

(in € thousand) 30 June 2021 30 June 2020
Grants income related to exemption on withholding taxes 25 -
Grants income related to tax credit 281 -
Other income 1 20
Other Operating Income 307 20

The Group applies for R&D tax credit incentives set-up by the Federal government and obtained reasonable assurance in the current reporting period that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and the grant will be received. The Group recognised R&D tax credits for a total of €343 thousand, of which €281 thousand as other operating income, and €63 thousand deduction from the carrying amount of the related assets, which are recognised in the profit or loss statement in line with the amortisation or depreciation expense of the related assets. As from 1 January 2021, grant income related to exemption in withholding taxes are reported as other operating income (compared to deduction of R&D expenses).

15. Expenses by Nature

Expenses by nature represent an alternative disclosure for amounts included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. They are classified under "Cost of sales", "Research and development expenses", "General and administrative expenses" and "Other operating expenses" with respect to the six-month period ending 30 June 2021:

(in € thousand) 30 June 2021 30 June 2020
Amortisation expense of intangible assets 22 22
Depreciation expense of property, plant and equipment 4 4
Depreciation expense of right-of-use assets - 25
Employee benefit expenses and management fees 1,212 653
Board related expenses 94 -
Share based payments 261 243
Equity transaction costs - 1,408
Legal & paralegal fees 124 76
Office expenses 101 45
Out-sourced R&D 1,298 961
Travel expenses 3 14
Other expenses 5,940 288
Total operating expenses 9,058 3,735
of which as:
Cost of sales 42 109
Research and development expense 1,560 1,172
General and administrative expenses 1,608 2,454
Other operating expenses 5,770 -
Earnings/losses from Associates and Joint Ventures 78 -

In accordance with IAS 38, the Group does not capitalise its research and development expenses until it has strong evidence that the technical and product development feasibility condition is met (i.e. when filing for marketing approval from the relevant regulatory authorities for the applicable product candidate).

Research and development expenditures incurred during the the six-month period ending 30 June 2021 were accounted for as operating expenses and increased to €388 thousand, mainly driven by higher costs for outsourced product development activities.

Employee benefit expenses and management feesincurred during the first half-year of 2021 increased to €1,212 thousand, driven by the enlargement of the Group's structure and key hires.

Despite the enlargement of the Group's structure and key hires, general and administrative expenses decreased by 32% to €1,608 thousand during the six-month period ending 30 June 2021, compared to €2,454 thousand in the same period in 2020. The difference is mainly related to the transaction costs of €1,408 thousand incurred in 2020, which were not capitalised as cost of capital, related to the successful IPO on Euronext Brussels in June 2020 and the convertible bonds issued in March and April 2020.

Other operating expenses amounted to €5,770 thousand and were driven by the successful renegotiation and unwinding of the license agreements for multiple lead products with the Alter Pharma Group (see note 21).

16. Financial Result

17. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent (after adjusting for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. No effects of dilution affect the net profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Group. The table below reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the six-month period ending 30 June 2021:

(in € thousand) 30 June 2021 30 June 2020 30 June 2019

Diluted earnings per share (0.32) (0.21) (0.07)

18. Share-Based Payments

The Company has a stock option/warrants plan for its employees, consultants and Executive Directors of the Company and its subsidiaries for rendered services, to involve them more closely in the longterm development of the Company. In accordance with the terms of the plan, as approved by shareholders, employees may be granted warrants to purchase ordinary shares at an exercise price per ordinary share, as mentioned below.

Each employee warrant converts into one ordinary share of the Company upon exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient upon receipt of the warrant. The warrants carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. Warrants may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of expiry.

The share-based payment arrangements during the current and previous periods are presented below:

Warrants 27/11/2031 12.04 2.33 75,000 -

The 2017 plan was immediately fully vested as no vesting conditions were required.

On 31 December 2019, the Company issued a plan of 363,300 warrants (90,825 warrants before stock split) in the context of an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP warrants). The 2019 plan is subject to conditions so that it will vest gradually over the next four years (25% after 1 year, and 1/48 for every additional month). The Company offered in total 353,000 warrants (88,250 warrants before stock split). As of 30 June 2021, all offered warrants were accepted and 40,000 warrants (10,000 warrants before stock split) lapsed. The remaining warrants of the 2019 plan (2,575 warrants before stock split) already lapsed as at 31 December 2020.

On 27 November 2020, the Company issued a new plan of 400,000 warrants. The 2020 plan is subject to conditions so that it will vest gradually over the next four years (25% after 1 year, and 1/48 for every additional month). As at 30 June 2021, 149,500 warrants were offered of which 144,500 warrants were accepted.

The fair value of the warrants has been determined based on the Black Scholes model. For the plans issued in 2017 and 2019, the expected volatility is based on the historical share price volatility over the past 5 years of listed peer companies. For the new plan issued on 27 November 2020, the expected volatility is based on the historical share price volatility since listing of the Company and bench marked with listed peer companies.

5. STATUTORY AUDITOR'S REPORT

Statutory auditor's report to the board of directors of Hyloris Pharmaceuticals SA on the review of the condensed consolidated interim financial information as at 30 June 2021 and for the 6-month period then ended

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Hyloris Pharmaceuticals SA as at 30 June 2021, the condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the 6-month period then ended, and notes to the interim financial information ("the condensed consolidated interim financial information"). The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed consolidated interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". 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 International Standards on Auditing 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.

These forward-looking statements can be identified using forward-looking terminology, including the words "believes", "estimates," "anticipates", "expects", "intends", "may", "will", "plans", "continue", "ongoing", "potential", "predict", "project", "target", "seek" or "should", and include statements the Company makes concerning the intended results of its strategy. These statements relate to future events or the Company's future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control, that may cause the actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements of the Company or its industry to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements, except as may be required by law. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Certain monetary amounts and other figures included in this annual report have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, any discrepancies in any tables between the totals and the sums of amounts listed are due to rounding.
