In June 2020, the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approved Nyxoah IDE application, allowing the Company to commence its pivotal DREAM trial of the Genio® system. The DREAM trial is a multicentre, prospective, openlabel trial during which each participant who undergoes implantation of the Genio® system will be followed for five years postimplantation to assess the safety and efficacy of the Genio® system in patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea ("OSA"). The Company initiated the DREAM trial as an IDE pivotal trial to support an application seeking FDA marketing authorization and ultimately, reimbursement in the United States for bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation for the treatment of moderate to severe OSA. The trial is expected to enroll 134 patients who will undergo the implantation procedure with 12 month effectiveness and safety primary endpoints. The Company has identified 25 centres for the trial, including up to 18 in the United States. 16 centers are currently active and enrolling patients in the United States.
The primary safety endpoint is incidence of device-related severe adverse events ("SAEs") at 12-months post implantation. One of the co-primary effectiveness endpoints is the percentage of responders with at least a 50% reduction on the apneahypopnea index ("AHI") with hypopneas associated with a 4% oxyhemoglobin desaturation and a remaining AHI with hypopneas associated with a 4% oxyhemoglobin desaturation less than 20, together with a 25% reduction on the oxygen desaturation index ("ODI") between baseline and 12-month visits. Patients with moderate to severe OSA (AHI score between 15 and 65) and aged between 22 and 75 years are eligible for enrolment if they failed, did not tolerate or refused positive airway pressure ("PAP") treatment. Patients with a body mass index above 32 kg/m2, a complete concentric collapse ("CCC") observed during a drug induced sleep endoscopy and combined central and mixed AHI above 25% at baseline polysomnography are to be excluded.
The Company anticipates to complete patient enrolment in the fourth quarter of 2021, initial 12-month data are expected to be available one year later. No SAEs have been reported to date.
The Company is currently conducting the BETTER SLEEP trial, a multicentre, prospective, open-label, two-group clinical trial, designed to assess the long-term safety and performance of the Genio® system for the treatment of adult OSA patients with and without CCC of the soft palate over a period of 36 months post-implantation. The BETTER SLEEP trial includes a subgroup of CCC patients, which is a patient population that is contraindicated for unilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation.
In the BETTER SLEEP trial, 42 patients were implanted with the Genio® system, 18 of which have CCC (or 42.9% of the total implanted population). The primary safety endpoint was the incidence of device-related SAEs six months post-implantation. The primary performance endpoint was the change in the AHI score from baseline to six months post-implantation measured by counting the number of events (apnea or hypopnea) that occur per hour collected during an overnight sleep study. Patients with moderate to severe AHI scores (15 < AHI < 65) and aged between 21 and 75 years were eligible for enrolment if they failed, refused or did not tolerate PAP treatment. Patients with a body mass index above 32 kg/m2 were excluded. The trial has been authorized by the Australian and New Zealand regulatory authorities and is being conducted in nine local medical centres.
In June 2021, the Company announced the following preliminary top-line results from the BETTER SLEEP trial:
The results above reflect efficacy data from the Modified Intent To Treat ("mITT") analysis population, which consisted of 40 patients, including 17 CCC patients. The mITT analysis population excluded two patients who did not complete a six-month visit, one because of an infection and one because of device migration.
With respect to the primary safety endpoint, preliminary unadjudicated safety data showed four SAEs in three patients during the six-month post-implantation period. Of those, two SAEs in one patient were reported as device related, one SAE in one patient was reported as procedure and device related, and one SAE in one patient was reported as unrelated to procedure or device. Final review and adjudication of SAEs and adverse events ("AEs") have not yet been completed by an independent clinical events committee and as a result the characterization of SAEs or AEs could be subject to change.
While additional data, including responder rates, remains subject to ongoing review and continues to be analysed, the Company observed in the per protocol group a 70% responder rate in the non-CCC patient subgroup based on the Sher criteria. The per protocol group consisted of 35 patients and excluded five patients from the mITT analysis population: two of these patients were lost to follow-up, one patient did not comply with the study protocol, and two patients were removed from the study by the investigator, one for hostility towards staff and one having returned to continuous positive airway pressure, therapy.
The Company expects to announce additional data with respect to the trial as further analyses are conducted and seeks to publish the full data set from the trial in a peer-reviewed publication. There will be no additional enrolment in the BETTER SLEEP trial. However, the Company will continue to monitor patients in the evaluable patient population and plan to continue evaluating over the course of three years following implantation.
The Company intends to use the clinical evidence from the subgroup of patients who exhibit CCC to seek a potential indication expansion of the CE mark for the Genio® system. To this end, Nyxoah has initiated discussion with its EU Notified Body with regards to using the Genio® system with patients demonstrating CCC at the soft palate level.
In the United States, Nyxoah plans on pursuing the FDA breakthrough device designation for the Genio® system in order to shorten the approval path to treat CCC patients.
In Germany, the Company successfully transferred the existing NUB (Neue Untersuchungs- und Behandlungsmethoden) coding into a dedicated diagnosis related group ("DRG") code for hypoglossal nerve stimulation. In Switzerland, reimbursement under an OSA-specific DRG code from the Federal Statistic Office was obtained.
A new reimbursement dossier for Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation has been submitted in Belgium.
Nyxoah was also preparing market entry in targeted European countries by actively engaging centres of excellence where funding was already obtained.
Nyxoah commercial proof of concept consists of a two-step approach: 12 months after DRG reimbursement, becoming German market leader in the Tier 1 accounts (i.e. centres of excellence) and 24 months after DRG reimbursement, becoming market leader in Germany. In the first half of 2021, 20 Genio® systems were implanted in the Tier 1 accounts in Germany.
Next to the Tier 1 accounts, Nyxoah trained and activated 7 additional accounts, based on their growth potential, existing hypoglossal nerve stimulation experience and interest in the Genio® system. Compared to the first quarter of 2021, the number of Nyxoah active accounts increased from 2 active to 12 active accounts, representing a 6-time increase.
In addition, Nyxoah invested in building a German commercial organization by having 8 full time employees in Germany led by a country director. All these employees were trained and were operational by the end of June. The recruitment of two additional sleep experts, who will interact directly with sleep labs and patients, is ongoing.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, €355 thousand have been recognised as revenue. Additionally, €100 thousand of revenue generated during the second quarter will only be recognised in the third quarter due to an administrative delay in one of German hospital finance departments.
In 2021, the focus is to further drive therapy expansion by entering new markets. During the second quarter of 2021, we were able to generate revenue in Spain and Belgium.
From a manufacturing perspective, despite COVID-19, the Company was able to continue producing Genio® devices in sufficient quantities to meet the Company's needs.
A TechTransfer to Belgium, building a second manufacturing facility, has been rolled out. In the first half of 2021, the first phase was successfully completed by having external components of our Genio® system manufactured in Belgium. By the end of 2021, the TechTransfer should be completed resulting in a full operational Belgian manufacturing site.
In January 2021, the Company and Vanderbilt University completed a partnership agreement which gives Nyxoah an exclusive worldwide license from Vanderbilt University, to develop, use, grant sublicense and commercialize products, with a new mechanism of action stimulating the Ansa Cervicalis nerve, in the field of sleep disordered breathing conditions and comorbidities of such conditions. The Company will also work together with Vanderbilt University to continue prosecution of patent applications made by Vanderbilt.
The Company has started the development of this new technology in collaboration with US and German key opinion leaders.
On June 10, 2021, the Company filed a registration statement on Form F-1 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The proposed offering of ordinary shares in the United States was made only by means of a prospectus. On June 25, 2021, the Company announced the launch of an underwritten registered initial public offering of ordinary shares in the United States (the "Offering").
On July 7, 2021, the Company closed its Offering in the United States of 2,835,000 ordinary shares at a price to the public of US\$30 per share for total gross proceeds of US\$85.1 million before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. In addition, the underwriters of the Offering exercised their option to purchase additional shares in full. The option to purchase additional shares granted to the underwriters was for the purchase of up to an additional 425,250 new ordinary shares, at the public offering price of US\$30 per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. On July 9, 2021, the Company closed the exercise of this option. This exercise brought the total gross proceeds of the Offering to US\$97.8 million before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.
Revenue was €0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to no revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in revenue was attributable to the Company's commercialization of the Genio® system mainly in Germany, and to a lesser extent, Spain and Belgium.
Cost of goods sold was €0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to no cost for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in cost of goods sold was attributable to the sales of the Genio® system in Europe.
General and administrative expenses increased by €2.4 million, or 99 %, from €2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to €4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 mainly due to an increase in consulting and contractors' fees. The increase in consulting and contractors' fees includes variable compensations for an amount of €0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and €1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to a cash-settled share based payment transaction and an increase of consultant services to support the company in legal, finance, tax and IT matters.
Before capitalization of €0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and €0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, research and development expenses increased by €1.1 million, or 173%, from €0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, to €1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, due to an increase in staff and consulting costs to support our R&D activities. The Company started as of January 2021 to amortize its intangible assets. This explains the significant increase of depreciation expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020.
Before capitalization of €3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and €1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, clinical expenses increased by €1.8 million, or 96%, from €1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, to €3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the expenses was mainly due to an increase in staff and consulting to support the completion of the BETTER SLEEP trial implantations, continuous recruitment for the EliSA trial and the ongoing DREAM IDE trial in the United States.
Before capitalization of €0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and €1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, manufacturing expenses increased by €1.0 million, or 72% from €1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, to €2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the expenses was mainly due to an increase in staff, in production and engineering team to support capacity and yield improvement. In addition, manufacturing expenses increased for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period of 2020 due to the increase demand of our Genio® system for non-commercial purposes (clinical trials, development activities, etc) and, therefore, the increase of associated production costs.
Before capitalization of €0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and €0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, quality assurance and regulatory expenses increased by €0.3 million, or 44% from €0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, to €0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the expenses was mainly due to an increase in staff and QA & regulatory activities to support manufacturing scaling up process.
Before capitalization of €0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, patents fees and related expenses increased by €0.5 million, or 199 % from €0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, to €0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, due to expenses related the in-licensing agreement with Vanderbilt University.
Therapy development expenses increased by €0.7 million or 97 % from €0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, to €1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the expenses was mainly due to an increase in staff and consulting, to support the launch of the commercialization in Europe.
The Company had other operating expenses of €0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and had other operating income of €0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, the evolution being mainly due to the impact of the initial measurement and re-measurement of the financial debt.
Nyxoah realized a net loss of €12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a net loss of €4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
On June 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents totalled €79.2 million, compared to €92.3 million on December 31, 2020. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents resulted mainly from net cash flows used in operating activities of €8.4 million and net cash used in investing activities of €4.5 million.
The Company expects to begin marketing in Switzerland, Nordic countries and Italy in the second half of 2021 and an increase of revenue generated in the countries where we are already present.
In the US, the Company expects to complete enrolment in the DREAM IDE trial by the fourth quarter of 2021.
Nyxoah looks forward to opening its manufacturing facility in Belgium to further scale-up production capacity.
Following the capital increase related to the Nasdaq IPO and based on the current objectives of the Company's business plan, Nyxoah expects that its existing cash and cash equivalents will fund planned operating and capital expense requirements in line with the Company's strategic priorities (European commercialisation, US market entry, clinical data building, driving innovation/pipeline and scaling-up the organisation).

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Nyxoah SA (the "Company") is a public listed company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap/société anonyme) incorporated and operating under the laws of Belgium and is domiciled in Belgium. The Company is registered with the legal entities register (Brabant Walloon) under enterprise number 0817.149.675. The Company's registered office is in Rue Edouard Belin 12, 1435 Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium.
The Company is a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative solutions to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea, or OSA. Our lead solution is the Genio® system, a CE-Marked, patient-centric, minimally invasive, next generation hypoglossal neurostimulations therapy for OSA. OSA is the world's most common sleep disordered breathing condition and is associated with increased mortality risk and comorbidities including cardiovascular diseases, depression and stroke.
The Genio® system is the first neurostimulation system for the treatment of OSA to include a battery-free and leadless neurostimulator capable of delivering bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation to keep the upper airway open. The product is intended to be used as a second-line therapy to treat moderate to severe OSA patients who have either not tolerated, failed or refused conventional therapy, including Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, or CPAP, which, despite its proven efficacy, is associated with many limitations, meaning compliance is a serious challenge. In addition, other second-line treatments are more suitable to treat mild to moderate OSA (such as oral devices) or highly invasive. Compared to other hypoglossal nerve stimulation technologies for the treatment of OSA, the Genio® system is a disruptive, differentiating technology that targets a clear unmet medical need thanks to its minimally invasive and quick implantation technique, its external battery and its ability to stimulate the two branches of the hypoglossal nerve.
Obstructive sleep apnea is the world's most common sleep disordered breathing condition. OSA occurs when the throat and tongue muscles and soft tissues relax and collapse. It makes a person stop breathing during sleep, while the airway repeatedly becomes partially (hypopnea) or completely (apnea) blocked, limiting the amount of air that reaches the lungs. During an episode of apnea or hypopnea, the patient's oxygen level drops, which leads to sleep interruptions.
The Company has established three wholly owned subsidiaries: Nyxoah Ltd, a subsidiary of the Company since October 21, 2009 (located in Israel and incorporated on January 10, 2008 under the name M.L.G. Madaf G. Ltd), Nyxoah Pty Ltd since February 1, 2017 (located in Australia) and Nyxoah Inc. since May 14, 2020 (located in the USA).
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Nyxoah SA and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Group) as of June 30, 2021 and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 have been authorized for issue on August 27, 2021 by the Board of Directors of the Company.
The Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as endorsed by the European Union. They do not include all the information required for complete annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Except for the application of standards, interpretations and amendments being mandatory as of January 1, 2021, the accounting policies used for the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used for the preparation of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Euros (€) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand, except when otherwise indicated (e.g. € million).
The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, are areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements. The critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020.
An entity shall determine the net defined benefit liability (asset) with sufficient regularity that the amounts recognized in the financial statements do not differ materially from the amounts that would be determined at the end of the reporting period. The current pension obligation results from defined benefit liability does not materially differ on a half year basis therefore the Company has determined to recognize the net defined benefit liability on annual basis being at the end of the reporting period.
The Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As at June 30,2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of €79.2 million. Based on cash flow forecasts for the years 2021 and 2022, which include significant expenses and cash outflows in relation to – among others – the ongoing clinical trials, the continuation of research and development projects, and the scaling up of the Company's manufacturing facilities and the net proceeds received from the initial public offering on Nasdaq in July 2021 for a total gross proceeds of US\$97.8 million (see subsequent events), the Company believes that this cash position will be sufficient to meet the Company's capital requirements and fund its operations for at least 12 months as from the date these financials are authorized for issuance.
The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2021, but do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company:
The company generated its first commercial sales in July 2020. In the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company generated revenue in Germany, Spain and Belgium. See note 18.
In the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Vanderbilt University. This agreement allows the Company to develop new neurostimulation technologies for the treatment of sleep disordered breathing conditions based on inventions and patents owned by Vanderbilt University, which will potentially expand the Company's future pipeline. Under the agreement, the Company paid to Vanderbilt an upfront license issue fee of approximately US\$0.65 million. The Company may be required to make minimum annual royalty payments to Vanderbilt of up to US\$0.3 million in 2024 and 2025, up to US\$0.5 million in 2026 and 2027, and up to US\$1 million in 2028 and each year thereafter, which are creditable against the earned payments of up to an aggregate of US\$13.75 million in connection with patent issuance, clinical studies, regulatory approvals and net sales milestones. The Company may also be required to pay Vanderbilt a low to mid double digit percentage, not to exceed 40%, of any non-royalty sublicensing revenue that the Company receives. The Vanderbilt Agreement, including the royalty obligations thereunder, will continue on a licensed product-by-licensed product and country-by-country basis until the expiration date of the last-to-expire licensed patent in each country. Either the Company or Vanderbilt may terminate the Vanderbilt Agreement in the event the Company fails to make a payment to Vanderbilt, breach of default the Company's diligence obligations or breach or default on any other material term, and if the Company fail to make such payment or cure such breach or default within 60 days of written notice from Vanderbilt. The Company may terminate the agreement by providing 120 days advance notice to Vanderbilt. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the upfront license issue for and past patenting costs relating to this agreement were expensed as occurred. See note 18.
On June 10, 2021, the Company filed a registration statement on Form F-1 with the SEC which was not yet effective. The proposed offering of ordinary shares in the United States was made only by means of a prospectus. On June 25, 2021, the Company has announced that it is launching an underwritten registered public offering of 2,760,000 ordinary shares in the United States. Refer to note 22. Events after the balance-sheet date for more information.
The Company has restated the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 to reflect the accounting for the cash-settled-share-based payment transactions that existed during this period and at June 30, 2020. In the previous interim consolidated financial statements, the cash-settled share-based payment transactions were not accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based payments.
The cash-settled share-based payment transactions were disclosed and explained fully in Note 5.13.3 in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. Both service agreements with ActuaRisk Consulting SRL, signed in 2014 and amended afterwards, and with Mr. Kezirian, signed in 2015 and amended afterwards, qualify as a cash-settled share-based payment transaction. The liability for the cash-settled share-based payment arrangements amount to €3.7 million and €1.7 million as at June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020.
The impact on the retained earnings as at June 30, 2020 amount to € -1.7 million, € -1.4 million in the balance as at January 1, 2020 and € -0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The preparation of interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that may significantly affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of the reporting period.
Refer to the disclosure note 5 from the Group's 2020 year-end consolidated financial statements for further details about the main critical accounting estimates and assumptions.
Based on the organizational structure, as well as the nature of financial information available and reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision makers to assess performance and make decisions about resource allocations, the Company has concluded that its total operations represent one reportable segment. The chief operating decision maker is the CEO.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables and other current assets approximate their value due to their short-term character. Derivatives financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, are also measured at fair value. However, none of the contracts were on-going at period end.
The carrying value of current liabilities approximates their fair value due to the short-term character of these instruments. The current liabilities include the liability related to the cash-settled share-based payment transactions which is measured at fair value, i.e. the share price of the Company at reporting date.
The fair value of non-current liabilities (financial debt and other non-current liabilities) is evaluated based on their interest rates and maturity date. These instruments have fixed interest rates and their fair value measurements are subject to changes in interest rates. The fair value measurement is classified as level 3.

On September 21, 2020, the Company acknowledged the following transactions that were conditionally approved by the shareholders' meeting on September 7, 2020:
The Initial Public Offering (IPO) resulted in an aggregate capital increase in the Company of €73.7 million (including share premium) in exchange for 4,335,000 new shares in the Company at the price of EUR 17 per share. The conversion of a convertible loan of €1.0 million in shares resulted (triggered by the IPO) in an aggregate capital increase in the Company of €1.0 million (including share premium) in exchange for 65,359 new shares in the Company.

The increase in total trade payables of €3.8 million as at June 30, 2021 is mainly due to the increase in payables of €2.0 million due to an increase in operating activities and due to transaction costs (€1.4 million in invoices to be received) that were incurred in relation to the initial public offering in the United States of its ordinary shares.

The increase of other payables as of June 30, 2021, compared to December 31, 2020, is mainly due to the increase of liability related to a variable compensation (€3.7 million at June 30, 2021 and €1.8 million at December 31, 2020) of a cash-settled share-based payment transaction.
On July 12, 2021, ActuaRisk Consulting SRL issued an invoice related to its variable compensation for a total amount of €3.7 million.
In the six-months ended June 30, 2021, the Company generated revenue for the amount of €0.4 million (2020: €0.0 million). Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon satisfaction of the performance obligation, being the moment control over the Genio® system is transferred to the customer, which is in general at delivery at customer site or a predefined location in the country of the customer. For certain customers, control may be transferred upon shipment to the customer in case the incoterms are Ex-Works. The revenue from the Genio® system may consist of individual products or a bundle of products in the form of a kit. The revenue is then recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange of the Genio® system. In determining the transaction price for the sale of the Genio® system, the Company considers the effects of variable consideration. The sales were generated in Germany (€0.3 million), Spain and Belgium.

In addition, manufacturing expenses increased for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to the increase in demand of our Genio® system for non-commercial purposes (clinical trials, development activities, etc.) and, therefore, the increase of production costs associated.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Nyxoah SA as at 30 June 2021, the interim consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and notes ("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.
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.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information as at 30 June 2021 and for the six-month period then ended is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.
