On 17 September 2025, the Board of Directors of Biotalys NV certified in the name and on behalf of Biotalys NV, that to the best of their knowledge,
This report is prepared in accordance with article 13 of the Belgian Royal Decree of November 14, 2007. Biotalys publishes its Half Year Report in English and Dutch. In the event of differences of interpretation between the English and the Dutch versions of the Report, the original Dutch version will prevail.

The principal risks and uncertainties related to the Biotalys' business activities are outlined in Biotalys' annual report for the accounting year 2024 on p. 139 and p.143-154 which is available on Biotalys' website (Annual Reports). In brief, the principal risks and uncertainties faced by Biotalys relate to strategic and commercial risks, operational risks, regulatory risks and financial risks. These include risks and uncertainties related to research & development of products, production and potential commercialization of product candidates, dependence on third parties, the organisation of Biotalys and its dependence on key employees, legal and regulatory risks, risks related to intellectual property and risks related to its financial position. The principal risks have not changed from the ones outlined in the annual report for the accounting year 2024.
The Company did not enter into any transactions with related parties during first six months of 2025.
In the context of our appointment as the company's statutory auditor, we report to you on the condensed consolidated interim financial information. This condensed consolidated interim financial information comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2025, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the period of six months then ended, as well as the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial information of Biotalys NV ("the Company") and its subsidiary (jointly "the Group"), prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.
The condensed consolidated statement of financial position shows total assets of 28 985 (000) EUR and the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss, and other comprehensive income shows a loss for the period then ended of 8 149 (000) EUR.
The board of directors of the company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed consolidated interim financial information based on our review.
We conducted our review of the condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410, "Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) 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 on the condensed consolidated interim financial information.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial information of Biotalys NV has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.
We draw attention to note 7.6 of the condensed consolidated interim financial information, which states that the advancement of the Group's candidate products and other pipeline projects entails various risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the uncertainty of the development and regulatory review process and the timing of achieving profitability. The Company has incurred operating losses since its inception and operating losses and negative cash flows from operations are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. As a result, the Company will require additional capital to fund its operations and execute its business plan. The above conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties, which may also cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Board of Directors believes that the measures that can safeguard the continuity of the Group are related to continuing the Group's operations combined with obtaining additional financing through equity, grants, partnerships, or other sources of financing. There is no assurance that new financings or other transactions will be available to the Company on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Signed at Zaventem.

Biotalys NV (the "Company" or "Biotalys") is a limited liability company governed by Belgian law. As of the date these condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issuance, the address of its registered office is Buchtenstraat 11, 9051 Gent, Belgium.
Biotalys and its subsidiary (together referred as the "Group") is a development-stage, Agricultural Technology (AgTech) platform-based company focused on the discovery and development of novel biological products (protein-based biocontrols). The biocontrol products in the Group's pipeline protect our food in a sustainable and safe manner and have the potential to address a broad range of food threats such as fungal diseases and insect pests with unique and novel modes of action. Biotalys filed with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States in December 2020, and with the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in March 2021, for the registration of EVOCA™, its first protein based biofungicide. The Group does not yet have any commercialized products on the market.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 17 September 2025 and has been subject to a limited review by an independent auditor.
The Group's condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the 6-month period ended 30 June 2025 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as endorsed by the European Union ("IAS 34").
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024, which were prepared in accordance with IFRSs. The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation have been applied in these condensed financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, except for the impact of the adoption of new Standards and Interpretations as described below.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in euro, which is the Company's functional currency. All amounts in this document are represented in thousands of euros (€ thousands), unless noted otherwise.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on an accrual basis and on the assumption that the entity is in going concern and will continue in operation in the foreseeable future (see also note 7.6 below).
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Group accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 3 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout these consolidated financial statements may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.
The following relevant new amendments to existing standards have been published and are mandatory for the first time for the financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025:
• Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability
The above-mentioned standard did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
The following IFRS standards, interpretations and amendments that have been issued but that are not yet applicable for the annual period beginning on 1 January 2025, and have not been applied to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements closed on 30 June 2025:
The Group does not expect that the above mentioned IFRS pronouncements will have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Other operating income and costs that are incurred unevenly during the financial year are anticipated or deferred in the interim report only if it would be also appropriate to anticipate or defer such revenues and costs at the end of the financial year.
Revenue from research and development arrangements is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, using a basis, which reflects the nature and scope of the services rendered. Up-front payments for access to Biotalys' technology are recognized and deferred in the period during which the technology is being applied. Where agreements include milestones that are determined to be substantive and at risk at the inception of the agreement, revenue is recognized upon confirmation by the counterparty that the milestone has been achieved.
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities during the normal course of business.
The advancement of Biotalys' candidate products and other pipeline projects entails various risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the uncertainty of the development and regulatory review process and the timing of achieving profitability. Investments are being made in research and development, while there are currently no commercial revenues. This is in line with the business plan and typical for a pre-commercial Ag-tech company which is in the research- and development phase, such as Biotalys.
The Company has incurred operating losses since its inception and operating losses and negative cash flows from operations are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. As a result, the Company will require additional capital to fund its operations and execute its business plan. As of 30 June 2025, the Company had €15.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and it had no committed source of additional funding from either debt or equity financings. The Company expects the financial runway to extend into May 2026 without considering any mitigating actions or additional financing through equity, newly awarded grants, partnerships or other sources of financing. The above conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties, which may also cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Board of Directors believes that the measures that can safeguard the continuity of the Group are related to continuing the Group's operations combined with obtaining additional financing through equity, grants, partnerships or other sources of financing. There is no assurance that new financings or other transactions will be available to the Company on commercially acceptable terms, or at all.
Management continues to exercise control over the level of spending. There are few or no other significant long-term financial commitments besides labour agreements and lease obligations.
Management and the Board of Directors can timely and adequately reduce budgeted expenditures should this be necessary in the context of the Company's going concern or should it be necessary to have more time to obtain additional financing.
After due consideration of the above, the Board of Directors is of the opinion that it has an appropriate basis to conclude on the business continuity over the 12-month period following the approval of this report, and hence it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
All financial assets and liabilities presented in the consolidated statement of financial position are classified according to IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments as financial instruments at amortized cost. The Group considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognized in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.
During the period, the Group acquired property, plant and equipment totaling €97 thousand related primarily to additional lab equipment and hardware in our headquarters in Sint-Denijs-Westrem. The Group also disposed €35 thousand on a leased lab equipment.
Certain assets that have been financed by the Bank Loan described in note 7.12 have been pledged as collateral. No other items of property, plant and equipment have been pledged in the context of financial liabilities.
Of the total of €755 thousand at 30 June 2025 (€522 thousand at 31 December 2024), €66 thousand relates to deferred charges for field trials where the related services have not yet been performed.
The net cash position as presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows is as follows:
| In € thousands | 30 June 2025 | 31 December 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Cash at bank and in hand | 4,175 | 3,518 |
| Short-term bank deposits | 11,536 | 19,120 |
| Total cash and cash equivalents | 15,711 | 22,638 |
The carrying amount of the cash and cash equivalents is a reasonable approximation of their fair value.
The share capital was increased by €1.85 thousand and the share premium by €18.65 thousand through exercising warrant rights ESOP II at the beginning of 2025.
| In € thousands | 30 June 2025 | 31 December 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Bank borrowings | 2,236 | 2,456 |
| Lease liabilities | 2,055 | 2,393 |
| Total borrowings | 4,291 | 4,848 |
| of which as: | ||
| Non-current borrowings | 3,195 | 3,694 |
| Current borrowings | 1,096 | 1,154 |
The weighted average incremental borrowing rate used for the measurement of the lease liabilities is 2.18% at closing June 2025 (2024: 2.23%). The underlying leased assets act as pledge in the context of the lease liabilities. Certain restrictive covenants are contained in the lease liabilities and the Group was in compliance with such covenants (level of cash position in excess of €1,500 thousands) as of 30 June 2025.
On 20 May 2020, the Group entered into a bank loan for leasehold improvements of its new facilities in Belgium with a maximum committed amount of €4,000 thousands (the "Bank Loan"). The committed funds were completely drawn by May 2021, after which the Bank Loan turned into an amortizing loan over a period of 9 years with a fixed interest rate of 1.95% per annum.
The Group has one bank loan which contains certain restrictive covenants including a clause that requires the Group to increase the amount of cash held as a pledge to an amount at least equal to the outstanding balance of the loan if the overall cash balance at the bank falls below €10,000 thousands. The Group was in compliance with such covenants as of 30 June 2025.
The Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities consist of revenue still to be recognized in future periods on various grants and projects, and for which the project research costs have not yet been incurred.
In the first six months of 2025, the Company did not entered into any new research collaboration agreements with third parties.

| R&D tax incentives | 597 | 774 |
| Other income | 125 | 103 |
| Total other operating income | 1,379 | 1,452 |
Other operating income mainly consists of the R&D tax credits received and grants that were awarded to support R&D activities (VLAIO and Gates Foundation).
The R&D tax incentives correspond to certain rebates on payroll withholding taxes for scientific personnel and Belgian research and development tax credit with regard to incurred research and development expenses. The R&D tax credit will be paid to the Group in cash after a five-year period, if not offset against the taxable basis over the respective period.
The table below illustrates certain items of expense recognized in the income statement using a classification based on their nature within the Group.

The Other expenses relate to facility management, recruitment, legal and expert fees and other miscellaneous expenses.
Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net earnings for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent (after adjusting for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

As the Group is reporting operating losses, the stock options have an anti-dilutive effect. As such, there is no difference between basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share. There are no other instruments that could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future.
At 30 June 2025, the Group has capital expenditure commitment of € 10 thousand for facilities items (December 2024: € 88 thousand) .
The Group has total outstanding purchase commitments with Contract Manufacturing Organizations ("CMOs") of € 110 thousand (December 2024: € 132 thousand).
The Group has also entered into development agreements with various Contract Research Organizations ("CROs") and field trial operators. These arrangements are service agreements which only require payment dependent on the completion of the service and delivery of the final reports. Total outstanding non-cancellable purchase commitments under these agreements, excluding amounts accrued for services already performed, amount to €610 thousands as per the end of June 2025 (December 2024: €624 thousand).
The majority of these service agreements are expected to be paid within one year. The amounts are not risk-adjusted or discounted, and the timing of the payments is based on the Group's current best estimate of delivery of the related services.
The Group also has a non-exclusive license agreement with VTU Technology GmbH in relation to a number of AGROBODY™ bioactive-expressing Pichia pastoris strains. This license encompasses the Pichia pastoris strain that the Group uses to produce EVOCA™. The license fees comprise success fees and royalty fees, both of which are based on the titre at which the licensed strains produce AGROBODY™ bioactives.
Biotalys has given further guidance on the registration process of EVOCA in the USA (cfr. press release dated 29 August 2025). The EPA has confirmed that the scientific review of the dossier is progressing, and that all the requests for additional information have been addressed. The company now expects the final steps of the registration procedure to be taken in Q4, rather than by the end of September as had been previously announced by the Company.
