Oncoinvent was founded with the objective of becoming a global leader in the development of alpha-emitting radiotherapeutics that provide better treatment options to cancer patients. The company seeks to achieve this through creating innovative new products that maximize medical benefit while minimizing potential safety concerns.
The company is advancing a radiopharmaceutical technology, with the lead product candidate Radspherin® that has the potential to be a Pipeline-in-a-Product treating multiple indications. Radspherin® is a local receptor independent and potentially transformative treatment for multiple cancer indications in body cavities. The product is currently being tried clinically in two cancer indications with peritoneal metastases. The studies have provided excellent safety results as well as a very encouraging efficacy signal in intermediate readouts.
In November 2023 the company completed enrolment of patients in both phase 1/2a trials and it is currently preparing for initiating a phase 2b program in Peritoneal Carcinomatosis (PC) from Ovarian and Colorectal cancer. Whether this will consist of one or two Phase 2b trials will ultimately depend on whether or not the data supports a progression directly to from Phase 2a to Phase 3 in the colorectal cancer indication. The company received IND (Investigational New Drug) clearance for both these studies at the end of 2023 and expects to commence phase 2b in Q2 2024.

Longer term, Oncoinvent also sees a significant potential to expand the use of Radspherin® to other indications, among them peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer, which would be an orphan indication in the USA and yet has a significant prevalence in Asia.
In 2017 Oncoinvent made a strategic decision to establish a robust internal development capability, as well as internal manufacturing capability for clinical supply of both radioisotopes and clinical drug product. This has enabled the company to have a flexible production of both isotopes and drug supply for the clinical trials. Establishing a robust sourcing of radioisotopes from multiple sources, along with an efficient logistic distribution has been of critical importance for the company. However, at least before the initiation of phase 3 studies, Oncoinvent needs to tech transfer and set up manufacturing in sites at which production can be scaled up to commercial levels. The intention is for one such site to operate in Europe, and for one to operate in the USA. Potentially, depending on possible partnering, one or several Asian sites could be put in operation as well.
Radspherin® completed recruitment for the two phase 1/2a studies at the end of 2023. Both studies has shown strong safety results, with compelling preliminary efficacy signals.
Oncoinvent was founded on the idea of developing alpha-emitting radiopharmaceuticals to create better treatment options for cancer patients.
The Company has taken full control over its CMC process (Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls). Securing sourcing of raw material from multiple sources together with an efficient logistic operation was early on a high priority within the Company, enabling the shipment of drugs in both Europe and North America. These are important functions for succeeding with radiopharmaceuticals and in particular with the lead candidate Radspherin®. Currently, Oncoinvent has established a highly skilled and competent organization with significant experience in the development of radiopharmaceuticals.
The innovations under development by the Company are a result of the two founders, Dr. Roy H. Larsen and Professor of Clinical Oncology Øyvind S. Bruland and their extensive experience with development of radionuclide-based cancer treatments. Dr. Larsen and Professor Bruland are the inventors of Xofigo®, the first alpha-emitting pharmaceutical product approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) (for the company Bayer AG), and of the beta-emitting radio-immunotherapeutic product candidate Betalutin®.
Oncoinvent's lead product candidate, Radspherin®,is a suspension of novel alpha-emitting radioactive microspheres designed to act as local intracavitary radiation depots of alpha radiation capacity for the treatment of metastatic cancers in body cavities. The Radium-224–based therapeutic has shown consistent anticancer activity at non-toxic doses in both non-clinical and clinical studies. Radspherin® can potentially treat multiple forms of metastatic cancer in several body cavities. including peritoneal carcinomatosis, where the company has completed enrollment of patients for two Phase 1/2a studies and is planning to continue the clinical development with one or two randomized and controlled phase 2b studies in 2024.

2023 was an important year for Oncoinvent with incredibly positive readouts from the ongoing clinical trials. We were very excited to see extremely encouraging results providing strong support for Radspherin® as a treatment for peritoneal carcinomatosis of various types. Furthermore, in 2023 the radiopharmaceutical market saw a marked increase of M&A activity, which has also continued into 2024. This, in combination with our own clinical advancement, now means that Oncoinvent is the clinically most advanced radiopharmaceutical company, which is still private and independent.

I was excited to join as CEO of Oncoinvent last summer, and the excitement proved warranted. I have had the pleasure of getting to know the company and its outstanding staff, which for the stage of the company, has unparalleled experience and competency within the radiopharmaceutical space.
My excitement further increased by the end of the year with the publication of our excellent safety results and the very promising efficacy signal that we saw in the intermediary analysis of the ongoing Radspherin® phase 1/2a colorectal study. Also, the slightly smaller Radspherin® phase 1 extension study in ovarian cancer demonstrated promising results. Altogether, this certainly warrants a speedy transition into larger randomized and controlled studies, so called phase 2 b trials. As such, massive efforts were made to apply for regulatory approvals to conduct such phase 2b studies in multiple centers in the US, the UK, and in the EU. The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA was the first to approve such studies, already before the end of 2023, and subsequently we have been granted approvals to perform
phase 2b studies in the UK and the EU as well. The excellent team at Oncoinvent should be commended for the speed with which these approvals have been obtained.
In parallel to this, and no less important, we have also been able to boost our production capacity of Radspherin® at our in-house GMP manufacturing site in Oslo, so that we are now able to supply our drug candidate from this site alone for phase 2b. This is also an impressive and important achievement by the team in charge.
Furthermore, the market for radiopharmaceuticals has continued to develop very positively. We have seen no less than four major Big Pharma acquisitions in the radiopharmaceutical space in the last half year alone, clearly demonstrating the significant interest in the space and the desire for consolidation. Also, with every acquisition made, Oncoinvent stands out more clearly as the most clinically advanced radiopharmaceutical company that is still privately held and independent.
As such, we are strongly encouraged by the excellent safety and strong efficacy signals in our clinical trials, warranting further speedy progress in our clinical development and further upscaling of our manufacturing capacity, while also being even more active in marketing the company to the major stakeholders in our market segment.
All in all, a lot has happened in the half year or so since I joined, and I look forward to advancing the company further, together with the competent Oncoinvent organization, with the aim of realizing our ambitious goals in the years to come.
The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA was the first to approve such studies, already before the end of 2023, and subsequently we have been granted approvals to perform phase 2b studies in the UK and the EU as well. The excellent team at Oncoinvent should be commended for the speed with which these approvals have been obtained.

In April 2024 a new Board was elected, consisting of a seasoned, international team of individuals with significant and senior level experience across big and small pharma, radiopharmaceuticals and oncology, Europe and the USA; and with expertise ranging from clinical development to market access to manufacturing and to financing.
We were all attracted by two things: the significant potential of the entirely novel technology of Oncoinvent, invented and initially developed by the four co-founders – to whom we owe a debt of gratitude; and secondly, the Company's strong management and team which have brought the company to where it is today.
We are impressed by how much progress the company has made in 2023:
The lead product, Radspherin® is unique in its chemistry and composition, a testament to the creativity of the co-founders, who have founded two other successful radiopharmaceutical companies (Algeta and ArtBio). Radspherin® is targeted to a large organ – the peritoneum – which is frequently involved in secondary spread of several common cancers (80% in the case of ovarian cancer), the presence of which predicts a grim prognosis. Moreover, existing treatment for this type of cancer is notoriously poor after surgery. Radspherin® therefore targets tumor presentations which have little competition, and where there is a high need. On top of that, the potential market is large, so that billion dollar sales targets are achievable with relatively modest assumptions of market penetration.
For all of these reasons, the Board and I are excited to have joined Oncoinvent at a critical point in its history, on the cusp of proof of concept trials; we are confident that our excellent and experienced team will be able to bring this novel agent, Radspherin® to the patients who need it, as fast as possible.

The technological development of advanced radiopharmaceuticals has evolved significantly during 2023 with several new development initiatives being funded, as well as several big pharmaceutical companies making acquisitions in the radiopharmaceutical market.
This became apparent through the acquisitions of Rayzebio and Point Biopharma at the end of the year, highlighting the importance of having manufacturing capabilities available in addition to promising product candidates. Consolidation activities continued in early 2024 with AstraZeneca's acquisition of Fusion Pharmaceuticals. All of these acquisitions were in the multiple billion USD range, clearly indicating the values at stake for successful development and exits in the radiopharmaceutical space.
Since the first alpha therapeutic radiopharmaceutical, Xofigo®, was approved by the FDA in 2013, continued and persistent R&D efforts have led to innovations in new application areas that are contributing to the market growth for radiopharmaceuticals. During 2023 this was in particular shown by the introduction of Pluvicto (FDA approve 2022) which has taken significant market shares in short time. However, the market is predominantly characterized by programs with a targeted therapeutic approach focusing on the use of isotopes such as Lu-177 or Ac-225 (70%), targeting PSMA and SSTR (63%).1
Oncoinvent has chosen a different approach in the development of Radspherin®, a receptor independent novel alpha-emitting microparticle suspension designed for local treatment of metastatic cancers in body cavities. Although Radspherin® could potentially be used in several body cavities and thus potentially be a Pipeline-in-a-Product, the company has initially decided to focus on metastatic cancers in the peritoneal cavity. More precisely the focus is Peritoneal Carcinomatosis, one of the most serious complications of gastrointestinal and gynecological malignancies. Peritoneal metastases typically develop quickly and have a deadly outcome.
The standard of care in peritoneal carcinomatosis, originating from ovarian cancer and colorectal cancer is cytoreductive surgery of macroscopic/visible tumors. This debulking procedure is combined with treatment with pre- and/or post-adjuvant systemic cytostatic drugs (e.g., paclitaxel, carboplatin, cisplatin, and mitomycin-C).
The global radiopharmaceutical market was estimated at USD 5-6 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compounded annual growth rate of (CAGR) 12% from 2022 to 2032. The market is however expected to evolve to reflect a shift towards alpha-emitting therapeutics. The radiopharmaceuticals segment is expected to be the fastest growing segment due to technological advancements in the targeted treatment of cancers. Potential new radioisotopes in pipeline and advancements in neurological treatments are the key factors driving the growth of the therapeutics market.

Oncoinvent has the goal of becoming a global leader in the development of alpha-emitting radiotherapeutics across a variety of solid cancers.

The company has through the years established an organization with extensive experience in developing and producing radiopharmaceuticals. This has enabled Oncoinvent to take full control over the logistics and sourcing for raw materials as well as the CMC process of the Company (Chemistry-Manufacturing-Controls). In addition, having a strong clinical department with extensive experience in bringing radiopharmaceuticals through a relevant clinical development program, the company arguably has a very capable organization.
Oncoinvent is developing therapeutics to combat various cancers. Local delivery of tumor-cell killing doses of alpha radiation with a short range in tissue, minimizing deep and systemic exposure to radiation, is the main product candidate concept.
Radspherin® is a novel alpha-emitting radioactive microsphere therapy designed for the treatment of metastatic cancers in body cavities. The product candidate is a suspension of inorganic microspheres labelled with an alpha-emitting radioisotope for local administration. More specifically it consists of
with calcium carbonate micro particles labelled with the radioisotope Radium-224d. The therapeutic goal is to treat residual micro metastases remaining after surgery in intracavitary surfaces and liquid without subjecting deeper regions of organs and tissues to harmful radiation doses.
Radspherin® is typically used 1–3 days after cytoreductive surgery and it is administered through a catheter that is left behind at the time of the surgery (see image above). As such, Radspherin® does not really add much in terms of invasiveness for the patient and the treatment does not add hospitalizations days on top of those incurred by the surgery and other therapy per se.
Radspherin®, a Radium-224–based therapeutic, has shown strong and consistent anticancer activity at non-toxic doses in clinical studies. The intermediate safety readouts from the studies indicate only grade 1-2 events as related to Radspherin®. This confirms the crucial hypothesis that Radspherin's non-specificity to cancerous cells inside the peritoneum does not yield an unacceptable side effect profile.
In an intermediary readout featuring the first cohort of patients (12 patients) that have reached the full 18-month follow-up period in the CRC Phase 2a study. Results were even better than expected. Not a single one of the 12 patients had a local recurrence vs. >50% in the historic control group after 18 months.
Oncoinvent completed enrollment of patients for the two ongoing clinical trials at the end of 2023 for the two different indications:
The Company completed a traditional Phase 1 dose escalating study testing doses of 1 MBq, 2 MBq, 4 MBq and 7 MBq of Radspherin® during 2022. The Safety and Monitoring committee concluded that the product is safe and the clinically relevant dose was set to 7 MBq.
A Phase 1 extension study cohort commenced immediately to further strengthen data with additional safety data and efficacy signals. The enrollment of patients for the 2a cohort was completed in November of 2023, and there will be a 24-months follow-up period with readouts at 12-months, 18-months and 24-months. The study has been carried out at 4 sits in Norway, Belgium and Spain.
Oncoinvent is planning to continue the clinical development of Radspherin® and received IND clearance for a phase 2b trial. The trial will be treating first line patients with primary advanced high-grade serous or high-grade endometrioid
epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer, with peritoneal metastasis that are homologous recombination proficient and scheduled to undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy and interval debulking surgery.

RAD18-002 patients with histologically confirmed colorectal carcinoma and peritoneal metastases eligible for cytoreductive surgery (CC-0) and HIPEC treatment were treated with Radspherin®.
Oncoinvent completed the enrollment of patients for the Phase 1 study last year, and during 2022 enrolled patients for the Phase 2a study to further strengthen patient data. The 18-months safety and efficacy data were presented at the 13th International Congress of Peritoneal Surface Malignancies (PSOGI). The data presented demonstrated that at the measuring point no patients treated with the recommended dose of 7 MBq had experienced peritoneal recurrences, and no serious adverse events related to Radspherin® had been observed.
Progression-free-survival data from the study has so far been encouraging compared to both historical control data published as well as historical data accumulated by the principal investigators. The impact of peritoneal progression on overall survival has further been documented in an abstract presented at SSO 2024 conference.2
The company completed enrollment for the Phase 2a study in November of 2023, and received IND clearance for the next clinical Phase 2b trial the same month.

Oncoinvent made a strategic choice, based on previous experiences, to construct a Class B GMP facility for the manufacturing of radiopharmaceuticals back in 2017. The manufacturing facilities have been of vital importance and have provided the company with the ability develop product candidates as well as with the ability to continuously upgrade the production process, which would have been difficult to do without a GMP facility of its own. The manufacturing capabilities and know-how established thus include the manufacturing of the drug product, radioisotopes, and the scalable production process and knowhow.
Although the company has manufacturing capabilities to supply the planned phase 2b Radspherin® program that is expected to commence in H2 2024 contingent on sufficient funding of the studies, the company is planning for increasing the manufacturing capabilities going forward. For phase 3 studies and a commercial launch of Radspherin® the company expects to transfer the manufacturing to one site in the USA and one in Europe. These manufacturing sites are expected to be fully operational in due time for the launch of a phase 3 program for Radspherin®.
Through 2023 the following poster and publications has been published:

The financial statements for the Company have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU (IFRS). The annual accounts for 2023 is the first year where the company apply IFRS, and therefore the statement includes additional information on the effects of changing to IFRS. The financial statements are presented in NOK (Norwegian kroner) which is also the company's functional currency.
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgments in applying the Company's accounting policies.
Oncoinvent recorded operating revenues of NOK 5.790 million in 2023 (NOK 6.283 million). Most of the revenues are government support for its research and development activities from the Research Council of Norway as well as Innovation Norway which was recognized as income.
Net operating expenses for the year amounted to NOK 153.214 million (NOK 116.893 million). The cost increase was driven by the expansion program with recruitment of new staff members, ongoing clinical trials, and production of Radspherin® for the trials. The operating loss for Oncoinvent amounted to NOK −147.425 million (NOK −110.611 million).
Net financial income amounted to NOK 3.804 million (NOK 4.331 million). Interest income from ordinary bank deposits came to NOK 4.408 million (NOK 4.444 million).

ONCOINVENT ANNUAL REPORT 2023 / 1 9
Losses after tax for the year were NOK −143.621 million (NOK −106.280 million). The loss is proposed allocated from the share premium.
Loss per share amounted to NOK −7.41 in 2022 (NOK −5.3548).
Property, plant, and equipment at year's end amounted to NOK 40.810million (NOK 21.449 million).
Cash and cash equivalents were NOK 32.122 million (NOK 196.021 million). The change reflects increased operational activity level. Total assets by year's end 2023 decreased to NOK 98.734 million (NOK 234.166 million).
Total equity as of December 31, 2023, was NOK 54.931 million (NOK 193.816 million). Deferred tax assets were not r ecognized in the statement of financial position as Oncoinvent is in a development phase and is currently generating losses.
Total liabilities were NOK 43.803 million (NOK 40.346 million), the increase driven primarily by higher accounts payable and provisions.
While the research and development strategy is designed in-house in Oncoinvent, the Company leverages its network of external consultants and contract research organizations (CROs) to execute its development strategy. Oncoinvent also collaborates with academic institutions to expand the research in areas of interest for the Company.
The Company has employed experienced personnel that can direct work that is performed by the consultants and CROs. This approach to product development allows the Company to quickly change research directions and efforts when needed and to quickly bring in new technologies and expertise when necessary.
Uncertainties related to the regulatory approval process and results from future clinical trials generally indicate that the criteria for capitalization of R&D cost are not met until market authorization is obtained from relevant regulatory authorities. The Company has currently no development expenditure that qualifies for recognition as an asset.
Expenses for research and development for the financial year 2023 were NOK 61.175 million (NOK 48.364 million), whereas NOK 28.380 million (NOK 28.759 million) were classified as other operating expenses and NOK 31.795 million (NOK 19.605 million) were classified as payroll.
The Company believes in equal opportunity for all. As an employer, Oncoinvent encourages a diverse and inclusive work environment. There is a strict prohibition against discrimination of any form, based on race, gender, age, ethnic background, sexual orientation, as well as any other diversities. Among the employees there are 37 women and 9 men, from 11 different nationalities. The new Board of Directors there are 4 women and 2 men. The diversity within the Company enhances the ability for innovation and work environment.
Growth for the employees is important to ensure that they are developing within themselves, as well as for the sake of reaching Company goals. The Company provides internal and external training in areas such as Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Radiation Safety.
Oncoinvent recognizes that the Company in particular, has a responsibility operating within the radiopharmaceutical industry, to integrate our business values and operations in a way so that we act responsibly in a broader social context and meet key expectations of our stakeholders. These stakeholders include employees, patients, regulators, suppliers, shareholders, the community and the environment. Oncoinvent will work to ensure a socially responsible business operation involving good business ethics, as well as how employees are treated, the relationship with the environment and the work to deliver safe products to patients, among others.
Key CSR focus areas identified are patient safety, employee environment, human rights, environment, supply chain management, anti-corruption and transparent communication. In addition, separate ethical guidelines apply to all employees in the company.
As of December 31, 2023, there were 19 392 895 shares outstanding. The Company had 430 shareholders.

Oncoinvent has since the establishment of the laboratory facilities focused extensively on establishing high standards for quality, safety, and environment.
The company has invested significantly in establishing a comprehensive ventilation and air purification system to remove emissions that are produced during the Radspherin® production process, and has today a good understanding and knowhow on the matter. The Company has implemented strong controls and reporting routines structures to have a full view to emissions at any time.
Oncoinvent has focused on improving the health and safety areas, such as working closely with the Norwegian radiation and nuclear safety authorities to ensure the proper handling of nuclides, as the innovation also includes the development of new production methods together with the product candidates. As the Company is close to reaching over 50 employees an initiation has been put in place for a Working Environment Committee, to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all employees.

The company ability to obtain capital or financing will depend in part upon prevailing market conditions as well as conditions of its business and tis operating results, and those factors may affect its efforts to arrange additional financing on satisfactory terms. The company monitors the risks and the Board of Directors works continuously to secure the business operation's need for financing.
The Company holds NOK 32.122 million (NOK 196.021 million) in cash and cash equivalents and does not have any borrowings. The Company's interest rate risk is therefore in the rate of return of its cash on hand. Bank deposits are exposed to market fluctuations in interest rates, which affect the financial income and the return on cash. The Company had NOK 4.408 million (NOK 4.444 million) in interest income as of December 31, 2023.
The value of non-Norwegian currency denominated revenues and costs will be affected by changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations. The Company undertakes various transactions in foreign currencies and is consequently exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates. The exposure arises largely from the R&D expenses and IP expenses. The Company is mainly exposed to fluctuations in Danish kroner (DKK), Euro (EUR), American dollars (USD), British Pounds (GBP), and Canadian dollars (CAD).
The Company has chosen not to hedge its operational performance as the Company's cash flow is denominated in several currencies and the foreign currency exposure is mostly linked to trade payables with short payment terms. The Company might consider changing its current risk management of foreign exchange rates if it deems it necessary.
Credit risk is the risk of counterparty default in a financial asset, liability, or customer contract, resulting in a financial loss. The Company's receivables are generally limited to receivables from public authorities by way of government grants. The credit risk generated from financial assets in the Company is limited since it consists of cash deposits. The Company only places its cash in bank deposits in recognized financial institutions to limit its credit risk exposure.
The Company has not suffered any loss on receivables during 2023 and the Company considers its credit risk as being low.
Liquidity is monitored on a continual basis by Company management. The Company works continuously to ensure financial flexibility in the short and long term to achieve its strategic and operational objectives. Management considers the Company's liquidity situation to be satisfactory. The cash position of the Company at year's end 2023 was NOK 32.122 million (NOK 196.021 million).
Capital markets are used as a source of equity financing when this is appropriate and when conditions in these markets are acceptable. The Board is considering conducting a capital increase within the next 12 months, if market conditions are acceptable. The Board of Directors has reasonable expectation that the Company will maintain adequate funding to maintain operational activity for the foreseeable future.
The Company's lead product candidate Radspherin® has currently completed recruitment for one Phase 1 trial, while another is still ongoing. This is regarded as an early stage of development and the Company's planned clinical studies may not prove to be successful.
The Company operates in a highly competitive industry sector with many large players and is subject to rapid and substantial technological change.
The financial success of the Company requires obtaining marketing authorization and achieving an acceptable reimbursement price for its products. There can be no guarantee that the Company's products will obtain the selling prices or reimbursement rates foreseen by the Company.
The Company will need approvals from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market its products in the US, and from the relevant authorities to market its products in Europe, as well as equivalent regulatory authorities in other worldwide jurisdictions to commercialize in those regions. The Company's future earnings are likely to be largely dependent on the timely marketing authorization of Radspherin® for various indications.
The annual accounts have been prepared on the basis of a going concern assumption, in accordance with section 3-3(a) of the Norwegian Accounting act, and in the opinion of the Board of Directors, these financial statements provide a fair presentation of the company's business, financial results, and outlook. Apart from events described under the section "Subsequent events" below, no significant events have occurred since the end of 2023, and the Board of Directors confirms that the going concern assumption has been satisfied.
Oncoinvent strengthen the company's capital through a private placement in April of 2024 funding the company with an additional NOK 71 mill. This will be followed by a subsequent offering in May 2024 towards existing shareholders that were not able to participate in the private placement. In addition, the company is planning for a follow-on financing round within the next coming months to further strengthen the capitalization of the company. This together with a strategic decision to focus resources to the development of the lead candidate, Radspherin by downsizing early pipeline initiatives and reducing overall expenses has given the company the necessary runway.
As part of the private placement the largest shareholders agreed to propose changes to the Board of Directors in order to strengthen the focus on latestage development as well as a more international board with a broad experience withing the industry and the financing of clinical stage companies. Consequently, a new Board of Directors was elected in the Extraordinary General Assembly meeting on April 2nd, 2024.
The most important part of the company's outlook to future success is, however, undoubtedly the finding of an eventual exit partner, capable of handling the final (phase 3) stages of development and a commercial launch of the product.
These partnerships are expected to be announced once formalized.
The most important part of the company's outlook to future success is, however, undoubtedly the finding of an eventual exit partner, capable of handling the final (phase 3) stages of development and a commercial launch of the product. This type of exit is what radiopharmaceuticals Point Biopharma, RayzeBio and Fusion Pharmaceuticals have already succeeded with in the last 6 months. This is what Oncoinvent should aspire to as well. A Big Pharma exit provides the best possible guarantee that or valuable drug candidates would actually reach the market and be made available to as many patients as possible, and it would also provide a reasonable time window for the investors of Oncoinvent to see a substantial return on their investments.
Oncoinvent will continue to take important steps in developing Radspherin® in 2024. The two ongoing clinical trials stopped recruitment in Q4 2023. In 2023 Oncoinvent filed for approval of phase 2b studies and received very quick approvals in the US (an INDs). Also, UK approvals have been obtained, and corresponding EU approvals are expected imminently.
As part of the preparations for advancing Radspherin® into a commercial readiness, Oncoinvent is in discussions with potential partners for increasing the manufacturing capacity of the drug, as well as securing additional sources for raw material to both increase the capacity but also to have the redundancy.

The statement of cash flows is compiled using the indirect method. The statement of cash flows distinguishes between cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, cash pool balances and bank overdrafts. Cash flows in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of the transaction date.
Interest paid is included under cash flow from financing activities, and interest received is included in investing activities. Cash flows arising from the acquisition or disposal of financial interests (subsidiaries and participating interests) are recognized as cash flows from investing activities, taking into account any cash and cash equivalents in these interests. Cash flows from share issues are recognized as cash flows from financing activities

Oncoinvent is a clinical stage company developing innovative radiopharmaceutical technology that delivers precise, alpha-emitting particles across solid cancers. The company was established in 2010 as an R&D vehicle for the development of new radiotherapeutic technologies. The lead candidate Radspherin®came along a few years later based on pre-clinical research conducted by the company. Oncoinvent ASA was converted to a public limited company at the end of February 2024 in order for the company to widen the range of financial tools available for the company going forward. The company is headquartered in Oslo, Norway.
The lead candidate, Radspherin®, is a receptor independent treatment of metastatic cancers in body cavities. The versatility of Radspherin®allows it to be deployed for the treatment of a variety of cancer indications and may be considered as a pipeline-in-a-product. Radspherin® has been tested in two clinical studies (Phase 1/2a) to treat peritoneal carcinomatosis from both ovarian cancer and colorectal cancer. The enrolment of patients for these two were completed at the end of 2023 and patients are currently being followed up according to protocol. The company aims to initiate Phase 2b controlled studies in the first half of 2024.
The financial statement was approved by the Board of Directors on 7 May 2024.
The financial statements for the Company have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting standards® as adopted by the EU (IFRS). The annual accounts for 2023 is the first year where the company apply IFRS. Consequently, the statement includes additional information on the effects of changing to IFRS. The financial statements are presented in NOK (Norwegian kroner) which is also the company's functional currency.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgments in applying the Company's accounting policies.
The financial statements for 2023 have been prepared under the going concern assumption. The company has taken several steps in order to secure a going concern compliance. These are described under the section subsequent events.
i. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
The Company current do not hedge its risks associated with foreign exchange rates.
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other comprehensive income, loans and borrowings, or payables. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Company financial liabilities include trade and other payables.
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the effective interest rate amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position based on current/non-current classification. An asset is current when it is:
All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is current when:
The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
The Company's presentation currency is NOK. This is also the functional currency. The monthly average exchange rates are used as an approximation of the transaction exchange rate. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI).
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company in its respective functional currency spot rate at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognized in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into NOK at the average exchange rates within each respective month of the date of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) and accumulated in the translation reserve.
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or CGU's (cash-generating unit) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the statement of financial position but are reported in the relevant schedules and notes. They may arise from uncertainty as to the existence of a liability represent a liability in respect of which the amount cannot be reliably measured. Contingent liabilities are disclosed if the possibility of an outflow of economic benefit to settle the obligation is more than remote.
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method.
The basic earnings per share are calculated as the ratio of the total profit (loss) for the year divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. When calculating the diluted earnings per share, the profit that is attributable to the ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding are adjusted for all the dilution effects relating to share options.
No dilutive effect has been recognized as potential ordinary shares only shall be treated as dilutive if their conversion to ordinary shares would decrease earnings per share or increase loss per share from continuing operations. As the Company is currently loss-making, an increase in the average number of shares would have anti-dilutive effects. As the Company has currently no issuable potential ordinary shares and basic and diluted earnings per share is the same.
Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the costs, which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. Government grants have been recognized in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as income.
Where the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset. If the Company receives non-monetary grants, the asset and the grant are recorded gross at nominal amounts and released to profit or loss over the expected useful life of the asset, based on the pattern of consumption of the benefits of the underlying asset by equal annual instalments.
Under IFRS 16, the Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases.
Right-of-use assets are measured at an amount equal to the lease liability and are subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the
earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.
The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, Oncoinvent incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is used as the discount rate.
When applying the practical expedients in IFRS 16 for lease-contracts with low value or lease terms of less than 12 months, the lease payments (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are taken to the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. When the lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognized as an expense in the period in which termination takes place.
Employees in the Company receive remuneration in the form of option-based transactions, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions). The determination of whether the arrangement is cash or equity settled is based on a careful evaluation of the terms of the agreement and also the Company's ability to settle in shares and the promise and intent of settlement in cash.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized in payroll and other payroll related expenses, together with a corresponding increase in equity over the period in which the service and, where applicable, the performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period). The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as of the beginning and end of that period.
All research and development spending are expensed each year in the period in which it is incurred.
Development costs will be capitalized once the "asset" being developed has met requirements of technical and commercial feasibility to signal that the intangible investment is likely to either be brought to market or sold. Due to uncertainties regarding award of patents, regulations, ongoing clinical trials etc., the asset recognition criteria of IAS 38 "Intangible Assets" are not met.
Property, plant and equipment are recognized at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts of the property, plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company recognizes such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciates them accordingly. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income as incurred.
The income tax expense includes tax payable and changes in deferred tax. Income tax on balances recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized as other comprehensive income, and tax on balances related to equity transactions is recognized in equity. The tax payable for the period is calculated according to the tax rates and regulations ruling at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is calculated on temporary differences between book and tax values of assets and liabilities and the tax effects of losses to carry forward in the financial statements at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are calculated according to the tax rates and regulations ruling at the end of the reporting period and at nominal amounts. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized net when the Company has a legal right to net assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available which the loss carry forward or other deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Currently no deferred tax assets are recognized in the statement of financial position as the utilization is uncertain.
The Company is still in a R&D phase, and currently does not generate revenues. For management purposes, the Company is organized in one legal unit and the internal reporting is
structured in accordance with this. All non-current assets are located at the Company's main office in Oslo, Norway.
In order to prepare the financial statements, management and the Board may have to make various judgments and estimates that can affect the amounts recognized in the financial statements for assets, liabilities and expenses. Uncertainties about these adjustments and estimates could result in outcomes that require adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. Assumptions and estimates were based on available information at the time of the preparation of the financial statements. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change and such changes are reflected when they occur.
Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which depends on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option or appreciation right, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. The Company considers that a deferred tax asset related to accumulated tax losses cannot be recognized in the statement of financial position until the product under development has been approved for marketing by the relevant authorities. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount, if any, of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits, together with future tax planning strategies.

The calculations are based on the following assumptions:
The share price is set to the last price used in a private placement on the grant date.
The strike price is the share price on the grant date.
It is assumed that historic volatility is an indication of future volatility. The expected volatility is therefore stipulated to be the same as the historic volatility, which equals a volatility of 59,9 % (2022: 59,6 %) based on similar comparable companies.
It is assumed that 50 % of the employees will exercise the options once they are exercisable. The options are expected to have a term of 7 years.
The estimated dividend per share is NOK 0 per annum.
The risk-free interest rate is set equal to the interest rate on government bonds during the term of the option, i.e. 1,6 % for 2023 and 1,0 % for 2022.

All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is current when:
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or CGU's (cash-generating unit) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
The right-of-use assets comprise a rental agreement for Office and Laboratory premises with 39 months left on the rental contract as of 31. December 2023.

The basic earnings per share are calculated as the ratio of the profit (loss) for the year divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding.
The issued share options have a potential dilutive effect on earnings per share. No dilutive effect has been recognized, as potential ordinary shares only shall be treated as dilutive if their conversion to ordinary shares would decrease earnings per share or increase loss per share from continuing operations. As the Company is currently loss-making, an increase in the average number of shares would have anti-dilutive effects. Diluted and basic (undiluted) earnings per share is therefore the same.

The most significant risks for the company are financing risks, liquidity risk, credit risk and foreign currency risk. Management continuously evaluates these risks and determines policies related to how these risks are to be handled.
Adequate sources of funding may not be available when needed or may not be available on favorable terms. The company ability to obtain capital or financing will depend in part upon prevailing market conditions as well as conditions of its business and tis operating results, and those factors may affect its efforts to arrange additional financing on satisfactory terms. The company monitors the risks and the Board of Directors works continuously to secure the business operation's need for financing.
The value of non-Norwegian currency denominated revenues and costs will be affected by changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations. The Company undertakes various transactions in foreign currencies and is consequently exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates. The exposure arises largely from the R&D expenses and IP expenses. The Company is mainly exposed to fluctuations in Euro (EUR) and American dollars (USD).
The Company has chosen not to hedge its operational performance as the Company's cash flow is denominated in several currencies and the foreign currency exposure is mostly linked to trade payables with short payment terms. The Company might consider changing its current risk management of foreign exchange rates if it deems it necessary.
Credit risk is the risk of counterparty default in a financial asset, liability, or customer contract, resulting in a financial loss. The Company's receivables are generally limited to receivables from public authorities by way of government grants. The credit risk generated from financial assets in the Company is limited since it consists of cash deposits. The Company only places its cash in bank deposits in recognized financial institutions to limit its credit risk exposure.
The Company has not suffered any loss on receivables during 2023 and the Company considers its credit risk as being low.
Liquidity is monitored on a continual basis by Company management. The Company works continuously to ensure financial flexibility in the short and long term to achieve its strategic and operational objectives. Management considers the Company's liquidity situation to be satisfactory. The cash position of the Company at year's end 2023 was NOK 32.122 million (NOK 196.021 million).
Capital markets are used as a source of equity financing when this is appropriate and when conditions in these markets are acceptable. The Board is considering conducting a capital increase within the next 12 months, if market conditions are acceptable. The Board of Directors has reasonable expectation that the Company will maintain adequate funding to maintain operational activity for the foreseeable future.
Oncoinvent signed a sublease contract with Sciencons AS the largest shareholder of the company. The contract is for subleasing one office and parking for one car with the right to use meeting room facilities for the years 2022 and 2023. The terms for the sublease is NOK 62 500 per year during this period.
As part of the continued development of the company the Board of Directors and the major shareholders decided strengthen the company's capital through a private placement that was closed April 3rd, 2024. The private placement ended up providing NOK 71 mill. in additional capital and gives the company financial visibility going forward. A subsequent offering will be launched as soon as a prospectus has been approved by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway.
As part of the agreement for the private placement, the Extraordinary General Assembly meeting elected a new the Board of Directors on April 3rd, 2024.
From 2023 Oncoinvent will present its annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations from IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) which have been adopted by the EU. This is the company's first accounts presented in accordance with IFRS. Oncoinvent has previously prepared the financial accounts in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting principles for small companies in Norway (NGAAP).
The transition date to IFRS has been set to 1 January 2022. The transition to IFRS is reported in accordance with IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. The accounting principles described in note 1 have been used to prepare the company's accounts for 2023, comparable figures for 2022 and an IFRS opening balance sheet as at 1 January 2022.

The Company has under previous NGAAP not recognized Right-to-use-asset.

A radioisotope (radioactive nuclide, radionuclide, or radioactive isotope) is an atom that has excess nuclear energy, making it unstable. This excess energy can be either emitted from the nucleus as gamma radiation or create and emit from the nucleus a new particle (alpha particle or beta particle), or transfer this excess energy to one of its electrons, causing that electron to be ejected as a conversion electron. During those processes, the radionuclide is said to undergo radioactive decay.
The treatment of disease, especially cancer, by means of alpha or beta particles emitted from an implanted or ingested radioisotope, or by means of a beam of high-energy radiation.

To the Annual Shareholders' Meeting of Oncoinvent ASA
We have audited the financial statements of Oncoinvent ASA (the Company), which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023, the statement of profit and loss and comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion the financial statements comply with applicable legal requirements and give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2023 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the requirements of the relevant laws and regulations in Norway and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Other information consists of the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Management (the board of directors and the chief executive officer) is responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, and, in doing so, consider whether the board of directors' report contains the information required by legal requirements and whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information or that the information required by legal requirements is not included, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard, and in our opinion, the board of directors' report is consistent with the financial statements and contains the information required by applicable legal requirements.
Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
We communicate with the board of directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
