I – PRESENTATION OF THE COMPANY

The company

Pixium Vision, a company that specializes in sensorial neuromodulation, was created in December 2011 upon the collaborative work of several prestigious scientists and technology institutions in France, including the "Institut de la Vision" (UPMC, CNRS, INSERM). The Company is also collaborating with scientific groups and clinicians at research institutes and clinical centres around the world, including Stanford University (USA).

The Company is developing and aims to commercialize Bionic Vision Systems (BVS) – namely active implantable medical devices to treat blindness caused by degeneration of photoreceptor cells in the retina.

Pixium Vision's Bionic Vision Systems (BVS) are intended to improve the independence, mobility and quality of life of patients who have lost their sight because of retinal degenerative diseases. These diseases, whether genetic, such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) or age-related like macular degeneration (AMD), cause the acute or progressive degeneration of photoreceptor cells in the retina. The loss of these cells prevents the conversion of visual information into electrical signals, which can then be transmitted to and analysed by the brain. Importantly, these diseases are rarely associated with the deterioration of the other nerve cells in the retina or the optic nerve, and provided an artificial stimulus can still be transmitted, it can be interpreted by the brain.

  • Pixium Vision is developing its innovative BVS to replace the normal physiological functions of photoreceptor cells in the eye by electrically stimulating the remaining active nerve cells of the retina, which then transmit the input to the brain via the optic nerve. This process is called sensory neuromodulation.
  • Pixium Vision's BVS leverage a wide array of cutting-edge technologies. They enable the Company to develop therapeutic solutions aimed at providing vision as close as possible to normal. They comprise three components that harness recent developments in microelectronics, optoelectronics, and intelligent software algorithms:
  • o A retinal implant that provides the artificial stimulation, via an electrode array, to the remaining functional retinal nerve cells needed to restore the vision of blind patients. This is only part of the BVS that is implanted in the patient's eye;
  • o A portable visual interface in the form of a pair of glasses integrating an advanced biomimetic mini-camera. The camera uses a proprietary technology developed by Pixium Vision. Event based, it functions the same way as the biological retina. This technology harnesses the latest generation of biomimetic sensors – asynchronous timebased image sensors – an event-based sensor that combines the spatial and temporal functions of human vision. The visual interface is linked to a pocket computer and contains a system for transmitting processed information received from the computer to the implant;
  • o A pocket computer linked to the visual interface that replaces the information-processing function of the retina using a high-speed digital signal processor and proprietary tuneable software.

The Company is developing and aims to commercialize two BVS:

• IRIS®II is the first BVS developed by the company uses a bio-mimetic camera and a 150 electrodes epi-retinal implant with a proprietary design, intended to be explantable and eventually upgradable for patients who have lost their sight due to Retinis Pigmentosa. The Company received CE mark for IRIS®II in July 2016. Obtaining the CE mark for IRIS® II allows the Company to file for reimbursement in Europe, and initiate its commercial activities. The company has obtained the NUB Status (medical innovation financing vehicle) in Germany in February 2017, allowing to anticipate a reimbursement by the German health financing system. In France, the Company will respond to requests for additional information in order to obtain the Forfait Innovation (Innovation Package). In other countries, the Company is working to find alternative financing solutions for its devices. The Company anticipates its first sales in 2017.

IRIS® is a trademark of Pixium-Vision SA.

• The PRIMA device targets a broader market, especially dry AMD. The second system developed by the Society uses an implant positioned under the retina (sub-retinal implant) located at the level of degenerated photoreceptors. Pixium Vision has completed the pre-clinical phases including thermal and electrical safety studies, meeting the safety thresholds required for the eye. The Company has also finalized implantation studies in animal models demonstrating a response to light stimulation in blind animals. Pixium Vision submitted a protocol to the Regulatory Authorities in the United States and Europe for the first feasibility study in Human in dry AMD. Pixium Vision considers that an authorization during the second half of 2017 could potentially allow the recruitment of the firsts patients by the end of 2017.

Pixium Vision's BVS are protected by more than 250 patents, which cover the key components of the IRIS® and PRIMA systems.

General principles and statement of compliance

The going concern assumption was adopted by the Company's management, taking into account the following elements:

  • The Company's shareholders' equity is positive and remains at June 30 at € 17.6 million.
  • Cash position at June 30, 2017 is positive at € 14.9 million. However, funding for further research and development for PRIMA will require new inflows by the end of the second quarter of 2018.
  • The Company is confident that these additional resources will be available, which could take several forms, such asthe creation of a private placement with French and international investors or a financing line in equity ( Equity line). The General Meeting of June 27, 2017 adopted the specific resolutions to carry out these operations.

Going concern over the next 12 months is conditional on one of the operations described above.

Bpifrance Financement granted Pixium Vision a conditional advance within the framework of the company's contribution to the SIGHT AGAIN R&D project.

This advance of a maximum amount of € 5,225,680 breaks down as follow:

  • First payment at contract signature: € 179.000 (paid in December 2014),
  • Milestone n°1: € 1.900.000
  • Milestone n°2: € 879.000
  • Milestone n°3: € 764.680
  • Milestone n°4: € 1.483.000

1 The subscription price of each of the issued shares per fiscal year of the New BSA2016-KREOS will be equal to € 7.8050 (corresponding to the volume-weighted average of the closing prices of the issuer's ordinary shares on compartment C of the Euronext Paris three months prior to September 27, 2016), or, in the event of a new Introduction to a price per share of less than this amount, between the issue date of the New BSA2016-KREOS and the expiry of the Validity Period, or any subsequent issuance of securities in the context of a fund raising, for an Issue Price below this amount, at the lowest of such amounts;

2 The maximum number of shares to be issued is calculated as follows: N=1,100,000/P/140,935, where P is the subscription price as fixed according to the above-mentioned elements.

This conditional will be repaid according to the following schedule:

  • Year 1 at the latest on 30 June 2022: € 500.000
  • Year 2 at the latest on 30 June 2023: € 750.000
  • Year 3 at the latest on 30 June 2024: € 1.000.000

On September 27, 2016, Pixium Vision signed a € 11 million bond financing with the company "KREOS Capital". This financing is divided into three tranches of € 4 million, € 4 million and € 3 million.

The first tranche was drawn on 27 March 2017 and the second on 30 June 2017. The Company recalls that the drawdown of the third tranche is optional.

The contractual interest rate is 11.5%; the repayment of each tranche is made on a monthly basis and occur in 33 instalments following a 9 months interest only period for the first tranche and 3 months for the second tranche. Interests are paid monthly from the drawdown date.

For this loan, Pixium Vision incurred a transaction fee and, after authorization by the General Meeting of June 27, 2017, issued 140,935 warrants to the lender. These warrants entitle the holder to an equal number of shares at an exercise price of € 7,805.

The fair value of the 140,935 warrants, ie € 181,649, was estimated at the date of issue by an actuary. The fair value of the BSAs is estimated based on the so-called "Black & Scholes" valuation method. The fair value of the 140,935 warrants has been recorded under "Other bond financing" in the Balance sheet.

At the same time, the transaction costs were included in the calculation of the EIR (Effective Interest Rate), the resulting interest expense is shown in financial expenses. (Note 15)

Over both presented periods, the Company did not generated sales.

Revenues amounted € 1.26 million including € 0.91 million from Research Tax Credit (CIR), down compared to H1 2016. CIR corresponds to the Company's ongoing R&D efforts, notably in clinical expenses for IRIS®II and the preclinical development of PRIMA. A reduction in IRIS®II's R&D expenses following its CE marking led to the overall decrease in revenues in 2017 compared to 2016. The Company also accounted €0.29 million related to the "Sight Again" project.

Costs of goods sold amount to € 0.6 million at the end of June 2017. Since entering the marketing phase of the IRIS®II system, part of the R&D expenses has been allocated to manufacturing costs as well as the various purchases of materials, supplies and other consumables relating to this system.

Research & Development (R&D) spending amounted to € 3.99 million. Pixium Vision continues to invest in the development of its two bionic vision systems. Since obtaining the CE marking last July, part of the costs for the IRIS®II system is now allocated to the manufacturing cost and explains the decline in R&D spending between 2017 and 2016. The majority of IRIS®II spending remains focused on clinical studies. PRIMA, Pixium Vision's second and innovative bionic vision system, saw R&D spending focused on the next stages of development and its first human implantation.

Selling and Marketing costs amounted to € 0.24 million at the end of June 2017. During the past six months, Pixium Vision continued to recruit commercial development staff to strengthen its sales capabilities in Germany, Spain and the Middle-East. Beyond the expert centers of excellence involved in its clinical trials, Pixium Vision aims to develop additional centers of excellence in ophthalmology, and train healthcare professionals (retinal surgeons and low-vision specialists) in the implantation of its IRIS®II system, and in the re-education and re-adaptation of patients. At the same time, Pixium Vision continues to provide a sustained partnership t to blind patient advocacy groups.

General and administrative expenses amounted to € 2.53 million against € 2.60 million a year earlier. The Company keeps control of its General and administrative costs year on year.

Net financial result shows a loss of € 0.33 million mainly related to the execution of the bond financing with Kreos Capital and its first interest payment, as well as capitalized interests on the recording of Conditional advances.

Operating income is a loss of € 6.06 million compared with a loss of € 7.03 million in the first half of 2016, and Net result shows a loss of €6.44 million (against a loss of € 6.91 million in the first half of 2016). Net earnings per share amounted to € (0.50) and € (0.54) respectively at June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016.

In the first half of 2017, R&D spending focused on the further development of PRIMA, with the completion of in-vitro and studies in animal models and the filing for the first-in-human feasibility study for dry AMD indication. Therefore, Selling and Marketing spending increased in line with the strategic plan to selectively build field commercial presence.

Based on our limited review, we have not identified any significant anomalies that would call into question the conformity of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements with IAS 34 standard of the IFRS as adopted by the European Union On interim financial reporting.

Without calling into question the above conclusion, we draw your attention to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, which sets out the basis for maintaining the principle of going concern for the preparation of the financial statements.
