Interim Report 2021 ALPHAMAB ONCOLOGY 9

OVERVIEW

We are a leading clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company in China with a fully integrated proprietary biologics platform in bispecifics and protein engineering. Our mission is to deliver world-class innovative therapeutic biologics to treat patients globally by applying our unique drug discovery and development capabilities. We believe these capabilities are demonstrated by our strong R&D track record and supported by our proprietary technologies, platforms and expertise.

PIPELINE

Our highly differentiated in-house pipeline consists of tumor monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies, and one COVID-19 multifunctional antibody. Among our pipeline products, we have one BLA submitted, three in late clinical stage, and three in schedule for IND submission.

  • KN046 – a BsAb immune checkpoint inhibitor simultaneously targeting two clinically-validated immune checkpoints, PD-L1 and CTLA-4, representing a potential breakthrough, next-generation immuno-oncology blockbuster drug. Currently, there are approximately 20 clinical trials of KN046 in different stages covering more than 10 types of tumors including NSCLC, TNBC, ESCC, HCC, PDAC and thymic carcinoma in China, the United States and Australia. The results from the clinical trials have preliminarily shown a favorable safety profile and significant efficacy of KN046 in treatment. Among them, the preliminary results of our phase II clinical trials in China indicate promising activity of KN046 for NSCLC, PDAC and TNBC as a single therapy and in combination therapy with chemotherapy. We have published preliminary promising safety and efficacy data of KN046 in patients who have failed prior treatments with immune checkpoint inhibitors. We have initiated 2 pivotal phase III clinical trials in NSCLC, and a pivotal trial of KN046 in thymic carcinoma. We are also exploring cooperation opportunities to conduct clinical trials of KN046 in combination with our business partners’ drug candidates, to achieve better therapeutic effects. We have adopted a fast/first-to-market approach on selecting indications and we plan to submit the first BLA for KN046 in China in the first half of 2022.

10 ALPHAMAB ONCOLOGY Interim Report 2021

Company Profile

  • KN026 – a next-generation anti-HER2 BsAb that can simultaneously bind two distinct clinically-validated epitopes of HER2, resulting in potentially superior efficacy. Our phase I/II clinical trials of KN026 in China and the U.S. have shown early activity signals and favorable safety profile in the treatment of heavily pre-treated HER2 expressing cancers. We are conducting phase II clinical trials for first line HER2-positive breast cancer (in combination with docetaxel), late line HER2-expressing breast and GC/GEJ in China, as well as a phase I clinical trial for HER2-positive or HER2-expressing solid tumors, including but not limited to, breast cancer and GC/GEJ, in the United States. In the first half of 2021, the preliminary efficacy data of KN026 in advanced GC/GEJ patients with HER2 expression was published in the ASCO conference in May 2021. We are also conducting a phase II clinical trial of KN026 for HER2-positive solid tumors and exploratory trials of a combination of KN026 with KN046. In August 2021, Jiangsu Alphamab entered into a licensing agreement with Shanghai JMT-bio Technology Co., Ltd. (上 海津曼特生物科技有限公司) to develop and commercialize KN026 for the treatment of breast cancer and GC in mainland China (excluding Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan).

  • KN019 – a CTLA-4-based immunosuppressant fusion protein with potential broad applications in both auto-immune diseases and oncology treatment-induced immune disorders. We have completed patient enrollment in China for phase II trials for RA. We plan to expand to other auto-immune disorders including oncology immunotherapy-induced immune disorder in the future.

  • KN035 (Envafolimab) – potentially the first subcutaneously injectable PD-L1 inhibitor worldwide, offering advantages in safety, convenience, compliance, access to patients not suitable for intravenous infusion, and lower medical cost. Invented by us and jointly developed with 3D Medicines, KN035 has completed the pre-approval registration inspection and a phase II pivotal clinical trial for dMMR/MSI-H solid tumors and is currently undergoing a phase III pivotal trial for BTC in China. The pivotal trials in undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma are ongoing and the FDA granted ODD for advanced biliary tract cancer. KN035 was granted its second ODD for the treatment of patients with soft tissue sarcoma by the FDA in June 2021.

The depth and breadth of our in-house R&D and manufacturing capabilities are demonstrated by the following: (i) structure-guided protein engineering capability to develop protein building blocks in various formats, including sdAbs and engineered proteins; (ii) our in-house developed proprietary platforms including sdAb/ mAb, CRIB platform, CRAM platform, BADC (bispecific antibody-drug conjugate) platform, BIMC (bispecific immuno modulator conjugation) platform, TIMC (tri-function immuno modulator conjugation) platform, GIMC (glyco-Immuno modulator conjugation) platform and CIMC (chemokine immune modulator conjugation) platform; and (iii) state-of-the-art manufacturing capability, to be further strengthened by new facilities with an expected capacity of over 30,000L, designed and built to meet the cGMP standards of NMPA, European Medicines Agency and the U.S. FDA.

Management Discussion and Analysis

The continuing global outbreak of COVID-19 and the subsequent quarantine measures imposed by governments in the first half of 2021 have created challenges to the Group’s business operations, including but not limited to the advancement of clinical trials, approval of regulatory registration and procurement of raw materials. The pandemic had a limited impact on our business operations as of the Latest Practicable Date. However, the uncertainty in the development of global pandemic of COVID-19 may have potential negative impact on the Group’s business. The Group has implemented comprehensive measures to minimize delays and disruptions to the business operations, including but not limited to implementing risk management measures, updating the standard operating procedures according to guidance issued by regulatory bodies, adjusting our research plans and status of clinical trials, providing alternative methods for safety and efficacy assessment and engaging in online meetings with our principal investigators for the clinical trials to track progress and identify any issues that may arise. The Group will continue to monitor the pandemic situation and react actively to such impact. In addition, the Group, through collaboration with academic institute, initiated R&D projects to address COVID-19 variants with bispecific and antibody engineering platforms. The Group will continue to explore potential opportunities to develop our core and related business, further develop our drug candidates, and to allocate substantial resources to make further progress in our R&D, product pipeline and regulatory approvals.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT

In the first half of 2021, we have made steady progress in our R&D of our drug candidates, have explored strategic collaboration with our business partners, and have witnessed numerous milestones despite the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. We, together with the global pharmaceutical industry, have sought to implement and adhere to emergency management plans, social distancing guidelines and adjusted regulatory processes, while have continued to strive to develop and produce treatments and drug candidates that benefit patients.

In recent years, China has issued or amended a series of rules and policies with respect to, among others, priority review and patent compensation, quality control, sales, data protection of drug trials to support the R&D of pharmaceutical products. In 2020, the amended Measures for Administration of Drug Registration 《藥品註冊管理辦法》( ), the Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Drug Production (《藥品生 產監督管理辦法》), the Good Clinical Practice of Pharmaceutical Products (《藥物臨床試驗質量管理規範》 the administrative Measures for Communication on the Research Development and Technical Evaluation of Drugs (《藥物研發與技術審評溝通交流管理辦法》) and the Registration Category of Biological Products and the Information Requirements for Declaration (《生物製品註冊分類及申報資料要求》) came into effect to streamline the R&D and production process of new drugs and the application process under the drug marketing authorization holder mechanism, as well as to provide a clear classification for therapeutic biological products. These policies removed political barriers and sped up the R&D process for innovative new drugs, which along with innovative technologies has become a hotspot for industrial capital. The newly revised Patent Law of the People’s Republic of China (《中華人民共和國專利法》), which came into effect on June 1, 2021, launches a protection term compensation system for new drugs, where a patent may be granted an extended patent term

Interim Report 2021 ALPHAMAB ONCOLOGY 21

Management Discussion and Analysis

up to five years as compensation for the time taken up due to regulatory review and approval. As a result, pharmaceutical companies with strong R&D capabilities for innovative therapeutic biologics will stand out and they will have unprecedented opportunities for development. After the pandemic, the Company believes that there will be a stronger focus on R&D of innovative therapeutic biologics and heavier investments in new biotechnology. It is believed that in the next decade, the R&D of innovative therapeutic biologics in the PRC will drive the growth of the entire pharmaceutical industry.

The Group will continue to strive for delivering world-class innovative therapeutic biologics to treat patients globally by applying our unique drug discovery and development capabilities. To accomplish this mission, we will commit to advancing clinical development of our product pipeline, including developing KN046 for various major cancer indications in addition to selected indications using a fast/first-to-market approach. We will also strategically focus on cancers with HER2 expression in our KN026 clinical development plan. In the meantime, leveraging our strong in-house R&D capabilities, we will further advance our pre-clinical programs of over 10 multi-specific immune-oncology drug candidates and will leverage our technology platforms to discover, validate and select targets and lead candidates to enrich our early-stage pipeline with a focus on immuno-oncology based bispecific and multi-specific drugs. We will also continue to optimize our manufacturing process and technologies to enhance product quality and reduce the costs. To maximize the commercial value of our assets with global rights, we will also continue to actively seek strategic collaboration opportunities for our Core Products, such as co-development, collaboration in combination development, and out-licensing.

Management Discussion and Analysis

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment primarily consists of our new manufacturing, R&D plant and equipment and office premises.

Our property, plant and equipment increased by RMB20.5 million to RMB381.5 million as of June 30, 2021, compared to RMB361.0 million as of December 31, 2020, primarily because we acquired property, plant and equipment of approximately RMB34.1 million which mainly consisted of R&D plant and equipment for the initiation of the second stage construction of our phase I production lines.

Right-of-use Assets

Under IFRS 16, we recognize right-of-use assets with respect to our property leases. Our right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset, whichever is shorter.

Our right-of-use assets increased by RMB3.3 million to RMB35.3 million as of June 30, 2021, compared to RMB32.0 million as of December 31, 2020, primarily due to increase in right-of-use assets for the lease of our office premises in Shanghai and Beijing in the first half of 2021.

Inventories

The Group’s inventories consist of raw materials and other consumables used in the R&D of our drug candidates.

Our inventories increased by RMB6.7 million to RMB51.0 million as of June 30, 2021, compared to RMB44.3 million as of December 31, 2020, primarily due to the increase in raw materials and other consumables for our R&D activities and the preparation for launching the commercialization of KN035.

Other Receivables, Deposits and Prepayments

The Group’s other receivables, deposits and prepayments primarily consist of (i) other receivables, deposits and prepayments mainly related to prepayments made in connection with our purchase of raw materials and payments to contract research organizations and other third parties for services relating to our clinical trials; (ii) deposits and interest receivables mainly related to our time deposits; and (iii) VAT recoverable in connection with the procurement of raw materials, third-party services for our R&D activities, machinery and equipment for our new facilities, which can offset the VAT to be incurred upon commercialization.

Interim Report 2021 ALPHAMAB ONCOLOGY 25

Management Discussion and Analysis

Our other receivables, deposits and prepayments decreased by RMB32.2 million to RMB87.0 million as of June 30, 2021, compared to RMB119.3 million as of December 31, 2020, primarily due to the lower interest rate and exchange rate of the U.S. dollars and the relatively short terms of bank deposits.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We recorded RMB3.7 million of derivative financial instruments for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to RMB5.9 million as of December 31, 2020, primarily because the Group entered into several foreign exchange forward contracts with banks in order to manage the Group’s foreign currency exposure in relation to US$ against RMB and did not elect to adopt hedge accounting for those contracts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Time Deposits with Original Maturity Over Three Months

Our cash and cash equivalents mainly comprise of (i) cash at banks and on hand and (ii) time deposits within original maturity less than three months. Our cash and cash equivalents increased significantly from RMB185.3 million as of December 31, 2020 to RMB702.0 million as of June 30, 2021, while our time deposits with original maturity over three months significantly decreased from RMB1,835.4 million as of December 31, 2020 to RMB1,159.8 million as of June 30, 2021, primarily because a majority of our time deposits with original maturity over three months turned into deposits with original maturity less than three months as matured over time.

Financial Assets Measured at FVTPL

The Group’s financial assets measured at FVTPL mainly represent RMB-denominated wealth management products we purchased from commercial banks in the PRC.

Our financial assets measured at FVTPL increased from RMB43.5 million as of December 31, 2020 to RMB55.0 million as of June 30, 2021, primarily due to the purchase of non-principal-guaranteed wealth management products as our financial investments.

We believe that we can make better use of our cash by utilizing wealth management products, such as structured deposits, to enhance our income without interfering with our business operations or capital expenditures. We make investment decisions based on our estimated capital requirements for the next three months and our annual budget, taking into account the duration, expected returns and risks of the wealth management product. We generally limit purchases to low-risk, short-term products from reputable commercial banks. Our finance department is responsible for the purchase of wealth management products, which is reviewed by our senior management team. In the future, we intend to continue taking a disciplined approach regarding purchasing low-risk wealth management products with a short maturity period based on our operational needs.

Management Discussion and Analysis

Trade and Other Payables

The Group’s trade and other payables primarily consist of payables for the construction of our new facilities and the procurement of equipment and machinery for our new facilities. Our trade and other payables also include accrued R&D expenses and staff costs, which largely relate to staff costs payable to R&D personnel. We also recorded (i) trade payables to suppliers of raw materials and third-party services, and (ii) interest payables.

Our trade and other payables increased from RMB121.9 million as of December 31, 2020 to RMB148.7 million as of June 30, 2021, primarily due to the significant increase in the clinical trial fees paid to the clinical trial sites.

Amount Due to a Related Company

Our amount due to a related company, Suzhou Alphamab, increased from RMB3.8 million as of December 31, 2020 to RMB10.0 million as of June 30, 2021. Our amounts due to Suzhou Alphamab as of June 30, 2020 and 2021 were primarily due to the technology development service fees payable to Suzhou Alphamab.

Lease Liabilities

The Group’s lease liabilities are in relation to properties we leased for our manufacturing and R&D activities and our office premises. We recognize lease liabilities with respect to all lease agreements in which we are the lessee, except for short term leases and leases of low value assets. For these leases, we generally recognize the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The lease liability is initially measured at present value that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease and subsequently adjusted by interest accretion and lease payments.

Our lease liabilities increased from RMB13.5 million as of December 31, 2020 to RMB16.7 million as of June 30, 2021, primarily because we rented new offices in Beijing and Shanghai.

Interim Report 2021 ALPHAMAB ONCOLOGY 27

Management Discussion and Analysis

Contract Liabilities

We recorded contract liabilities of RMB12.7 million and RMB12.5 million as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Our contract liabilities represented the RMB10.0 million upfront payment we received from 3D Medicines and such amount is adjusted for the effects of the time value of money at a discount rate of 4.35% taking into consideration of the credit characteristics of the Group and any collateral or security provided. We own the right to manufacture and supply KN035 to 3D Medicines. After the approval and commercialization of KN035, we will recognize revenue on the upfront payment received.

Liquidity and Source of Funding

Our primary uses of cash are to fund our clinical trials, manufacturing, purchase of equipment and raw materials and other expenses. During the Reporting Period, we primarily funded our working capital requirements through proceeds from the global offering, pre-IPO financing and bank borrowings at reasonable market rates. Currently, the Group follows a set of funding and treasury policies to manage its capital resources and prevent risks involved. In order to better control and minimize the cost of funds, the Group’s treasury activities are centralized and all cash transactions are dealt with the qualified banks and international banks with good reputation. We closely monitor uses of cash and cash balances and strive to maintain a healthy liquidity for our operations.

As of June 30, 2021, there was a balance of unutilized net proceeds from the global offering, pre-IPO financing and bank borrowings. For details on the net proceeds from the global offering, please refer to the section headed “Use of Net Proceeds from the Global Offering” in this interim report. The Company believes that it has sufficient funds to satisfy our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the second half of 2021.

Borrowings

As of June 30, 2021, we had bank borrowings of RMB296.5 million, which were secured by property, plant and equipment of RMB263.4 million and land use rights in our right-of-use assets of RMB21.9 million.

Report on Review of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ALPHAMAB ONCOLOGY

康寧傑瑞生物製藥

(incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated financial statements of Alphamab Oncology (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) set out on pages 45 to 72 which comprise the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2021 and the related condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and certain explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review, and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

SCOPE OF REVIEW

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of these condensed consolidated financial statements 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 Hong Kong 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.

CONCLUSION

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair values, as appropriate.

Other than additional accounting policies resulting from application of amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), the accounting policies and methods of computation used in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are the same as those presented in the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Application of amendments to IFRSs

3. REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

Revenue

Co-development agreement with 3D Medicines Corporation (“3D Medicines”) in relation to KN035 drug candidate

In February 2016, the Group entered into an agreement with 3D Medicines and pursuant to which, the Group will jointly develop and commercialize KN035 drug candidate with 3D Medicines. Under the agreement, the Group received a non-refundable upfront payment of RMB10 million from 3D Medicines and has an exclusive right to manufacture and supply KN035 to 3D Medicines for further commercialization to ultimate customers. Upon the Group manufacturing the product and transferring the control of goods to 3D Medicines for commercialization, the Group will recognize revenue in respect of the upfront payment received.

In addition, the Group considers the non-refundable upfront payment of RMB10 million from 3D Medicines contain significant financing component and accordingly the amount of consideration is adjusted for the effects of the time value of money at a discount rate of 4.35% per annum taking into consideration the credit characteristics of the party receiving financing in the contract, as well as any collateral or security provide by the customer or the entity, including assets transferred in the contract. As this accrual increases the amount of the contract liabilities during the period of development of KN035 drug candidate, it increases the amount of revenue to be recognized when the Group commences the manufacturing of the product and the transfer of control of goods to 3D Medicines for commercialization.

Unsatisfied performance obligations

The following table shows the aggregate amount of the contract liabilities allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period.

17. SHARE OPTION SCHEMES (Continued)

(b) Equity-settled post-IPO share option scheme of the Company: (Continued) Fair value of the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme I

These fair values were calculated using the binomial model. The inputs into the model were as follows:

Date of grant
June 30, 2021
Ordinary share price as at date of grant HK$24.45
Exercise price HK$13.00
Expected volatility 34.0%
Expected life 10 Years
Risk-free rate 1.23%
Expected dividend yield 0.0%
Totalgrant date fair value HK$47,609,966

The binomial option pricing model has been used to estimate the fair value of the options. The variables and assumptions used in computing the fair value of the share options are based on the directors’ best estimate.

The directors of the Company estimated the risk-free interest rate based on the yield of the United States Treasury Bonds with a maturity life close to the option life of the share option. Volatility was estimated at grant date based on average of historical volatilities of the comparable companies with length commensurable to the time to maturity of the share options. Dividend yield is based on management estimation at the grant date. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioral considerations.

17. SHARE OPTION SCHEMES (Continued)

(c) Share option scheme with cash-settled alternatives of Suzhou Alphamab

Since May 2014, Suzhou Alphamab had issued 5 batches of share options under the share incentive plan adopted by Suzhou Alphamab (the “SZ ESOP Plan”) as an incentive to employees and management of Suzhou Alphamab. Under the SZ ESOP Plan, the grantees can choose to settle in cash based on a calculation methodology as stated in the plan or in equity when Suzhou Alphamab completed the listing of its shares. Such SZ ESOP Plan was accounted for as a compound financial instrument, which includes a debt component (i.e. the counterparty’s right to demand payment in cash) and an equity component (i.e. the counterparty’s right to demand settlement in equity instruments rather than in cash).

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Group recognized share-based payment expenses of RMB42,000 (unaudited) (the six months ended June 30, 2020: RMB84,000 (unaudited)) that are allocated to the Oncology Business under the SZ ESOP Plan.
