Business highlights in 2014

The first quarter

  • On 31 January, NeuroVive notified the market that its rights issue was 270% oversubscribed. A decision to fully exercise the overallocation option was communicated simultaneously. The rights issue raised the company some SEK 75.8 m, and the overallocation option raised SEK 10.0 m. Accordingly, NeuroVive raised a total of some SEK 85.8 m before issue expenses.
  • The final patient in the European phase III study on CicloMulsion® was treated in February.
  • NeuroVive subsidiary NeuroVive Pharmaceutical Asia Ltd., whose registered office is in Hong Kong, signed a collaboration agreement with Yuanta Securities Co. Ltd. This deal is the first step in a process towards listing NeuroVive's subsidiary on the Taiwanese stock exchange.
  • NeuroVive's anti-viral preclinical program on NVP018 has generated data demonstrating that NVP018 has the potential to become a therapy alternative or adjuvant to current pharmaceuticals for treating chronic hepatitis B infection.

Post balance sheet events

On 17 April, NeuroVive demonstrated the company's work on energy regulation at cellular level. This project is designated NVP015 the Amber Project in-house. An extensive patent filing for the compounds and their potential application was published in the World Intellectual Property Organization's (WIPO) database on 10 April.

Comments from our CEO, Mikael Brönnegård

It's an exciting time for NeuroVive and mitochondrial medicine

Research into mitochondrial medicine is making rapid progress in expanding applications, and I think NeuroVive is well positioned from scientific and product development perspectives. The successful share issues in December 2013 and January 2014 also mean that we can conduct planned operational activities.

Our clinical trial program is moving forward. In February, the final patient in the ongoing phase III study in Europe was treated with CicloMulsion®. Patient enrolment went as planned, and we're now doing important and demanding work on following up all patients. Our objective is to complete our follow-up and analysis of results in 2015. In addition to our initiative in Europe, we've also allocated significant resources to planning a future launch of CicloMulsion® in the US, given positive research results.

The NeuroSTAT® study on patients affected by severe TBI (traumatic brain injury) is continuing in Copenhagen. Currently five of a total of ten patients in the lower-dose group have been enrolled, and an interim analysis of these first five patients will be conducted to gain an impression of treatment safety.

In its R&D operations, NeuroVive has intensified its work on preparing drug candidates that can be delivered over the blood-brain barrier, and into the brain. The collaboration within the auspices of the EU grant secured for this purpose has been extended with new chemistry focusing on applications including effective treatment of stroke. Jointly with our UK collaboration partner, Isomerase Therapeutics, we are continuing to produce new molecules and present results, primarily in the anti-viral segment. Work on our drug candidate for hepatitis B passed an important milestone in March, when anti-viral efficacy was demonstrated directly on the virus itself and on the immune system, while the risk of developing resistance against the pharmaceutical appears low. These results have stimulated greater interest in NeuroVive's antiviral programs from the pharmaceutical industry.

NeuroVive's operations in China and Asia, and its collaboration with Chinese partner Sihuan, have enhanced NeuroVive's potential to develop drug candidates for China and a number of other Asian markets. This operation needs a bigger presence in Asia, and against the background of the ready access to capital for biotech enterprises in the region, NeuroVive commenced an evaluation process for a potential IPO of NeuroVive's subsidiary NeuroVive Pharmaceutical Asia Ltd. If we decide to execute this process, it will be in Taiwan, where financing conditions are especially positive, while access to biotechnology and drug pharmaceutical competence is very favorable.

Finally, I'm pleased that in the first quarter this year, we attracted nearly 1,100 new shareholders, and I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome them as partners in NeuroVive.

NeuroVive

Operations

NeuroVive conducts research and development of pharmaceuticals that protect the mitochondria, and pharmaceuticals that enhance mitochondrial function. Its development technology platform primarily consists of cyclosporine A, as well as molecules with a different chemical structure that serve to protect the mitochondria by inhibiting enzymes of the cyclophilin type. The collective term for this type of candidate drug (CD) is cyclophilin inhibitors. NeuroVive's product portfolio also includes CDs for cellular energy regulation. Cyclosporin A, the active compound of CicloMulsion® and NeuroStat®, has been on the market as an active pharmaceutical compound for nearly 30 years. This means that extensive safety data for this active compound is already extant.

The clinical trial on the company's product that has developed furthest, CicloMulsion®, is continuing as planned, and the final patient in this European phase III trial was treated in February. Work relating to regulation and preparing the market has also intensified, with the objective, assuming positive results, of being able to launch CicloMulsion® as soon as the regulatory authorities have granted approval. The clinical phase II trial in Denmark on NeuroSTAT® for TBI is also going forward as planned.

The new, potent molecules NeuroVive acquired from Biotica are derivatives of the naturally occurring cyclophilin inhibitor Sanglifehrin as its active compound. This new technology platform has several favorable characteristics that will be important to NeuroVive's future progress. Thanks to extensive preclinical work already completed, only limited further development work is necessary before the lead CD cyclophilin inhibitor can enter the clinical phase. The company is also evaluating out-licensing opportunities, primarily for the CD NVP018 for hepatitis B and C.

Within NeuroVive's core business, the new cyclophilin inhibitors are expected to be more potent (superior clinical efficacy) and more direct acting (less risk of adverse events) than NeuroVive's current products. The conditions for stronger patent protection (to around 2031-2035) are in place. Accordingly, NeuroVive anticipates the new cyclophilin inhibitors complementing or completely replacing CicloMulsion®/NeuroSTAT® eventually, thus contributing to NeuroVive extending its leadership in mitochondrial medicine.

Business model

NeuroVive anticipates a number of different approaches to commercializing its projects. One possibility is to out-license drugs to larger pharmaceuticals companies for registration, marketing and sales. In such cases, the company's revenues would comprise fixed-fee compensation on out-licensing and on reaching milestones on the way to launch, plus ongoing royalty streams from sales of out-licensed pharmaceuticals. In addition to the possibility of traditional out-licensing, NeuroVive's management evaluates different types of innovative collaborations with large pharmaceuticals companies and CROpartners with the aim of generating a risk-reduced and cost-efficient business model.

Strategic partnerships with CROs improve flexibility, reduce costs and utilize specific expertise more effectively. Such strategic partnerships are expected to increase efficiency, reduce the need for internal control systems, speed up the time to market, improve access to global patient populations and limit overhead costs. NeuroVive intends to utilize established commercial channels through selected partners to lay the foundation for the marketing and sales of future drugs. In this way, NeuroVive avoids establishing a proprietary marketing and sales structure and is able to maintain control over the products' commercialization phase and potentially access a larger share of future revenue.

By acquiring technologies and projects in the fields of cardial, neuro and mitochondrial protection, as well as securing partnerships in technology and product development, NeuroVive aims to accumulate critical mass in its research areas. In the longer term, the acquisition and partnership strategy stands to benefit NeuroVive's potential to bring new drug candidates for prioritized indications to the market

more quickly. This reduces the risks associated with lengthy development cycles for new pharmaceuticals.

NeuroVive aims to utilize the business model to secure a greater proportion of future revenue. Retaining control of the products' marketing also facilitates increasing the number of indications for existing products and introducing the next generation of drugs for existing and new indications on the market. Launching new pharmaceuticals will become significantly easier as marketing and sales resources are already in place, and the company is working with a collaboration partner that is familiar with the products.

Revenues and results of operations

Revenues

The majority of the group's other operating revenue for the first quarter of SEK 43,000 (704,000) comprise mainly foreign exchange gains, last year first quarter of comprise the EU contribution received from Vinnova, the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems.

Most of the group's operations are conducted within the parent company except for the milestonepayment that the subsidiary NeuroVive Pharmaceutical Asia Ltd received. Accordingly, no further specific information regarding the parent company is presented.

Risks and uncertainty factors

A research company such as NeuroVive Pharmaceutical AB (publ) is subject to high operational and financial risks because the projects the company conducts are in different developmental phases, where a number of parameters influence the likelihood of commercial success. Briefly, operations are associated with risks relating to factors including drug development, competition, technological progress, patents, regulatory requirements, capital requirements, currencies and interest rates. In the fourth quarter and in January 2014, the capital requirement was assured for the company's upcoming development activities. In the current period, there have been no significant changes regarding risks or uncertainty factors.

The arbitration proceeding with CicloMulsion AG is ongoing. In March 2013, CicloMulsion AG invoked an arbitration by which it seeks to determine the contractual right of CicloMulsion AG to receive royalty. If the arbitration is settled in favor of CicloMulsion AG, NeuroVive may be liable to pay future royalties for 15 years after product launch. If the arbitration is settled in favor of the Company, it may be possible for NeuroVive to make no royalty payments. CicloMulsion AG has also claimed payment of 10% royalty from NeuroVive on the 5m RMB payment already received by NVP Asia from Sihuan Pharma and are also claiming additional compensation. NeuroVive's position is that there is no legal basis for such claims. There is a possibility that CicloMulsion AG may raise further issues relating to the license during the arbitration proceedings.

For more detail of risks and uncertainty factors, refer to the Statutory Administration Report in the Annual Report 2012 and the prospectus published 8 th January 2014 for the rights issue in January 2014.

Financial instruments

All financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortized cost. Given that all receivables and liabilities are current, then essentially, carrying amounts are considered to correspond to fair value.

Incentive programs/share warrants

The AGM on 10 June 2011 approved an equity-related incentive program for senior managers and/or other employees in the form of an issue of a maximum of 164,000 share warrants, which was fully subscribed. For more information, see note 30 in the Annual Report for 2012.

Note 2 – Tax

The group's total loss carry-forwards amount to SEK 91,032,000 as of 31 March 2014 (53,870,000). The parent company's total loss carry-forwards amount to SEK 87,413,000 as of 31 March 2014 (49,942,000). Because the company is loss making, management cannot judge when deductible loss carry-forwards will be utilized.
