IRLAB Therapeutics is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm's Main Market under the ticker IRLAB A.

Mesdopetam & Pirepemat

IRLAB's two drug candidates, which have concluded Phase IIa studies: Mesdopetam for the prevention and treatment of dyskinesias (involuntary movements) in Parkinson's caused by long-term treatment with levodopa. Pirepemat to treat impaired balance and reduce falls in Parkinson's.

"The mesdopetam deal is transformational for IRLAB – we have shown that our business model works and that our ISP research platform is an effective tool for developing drug candidates that are attractive to the market."

REIN PIIR – BOARD MEMBER AND CHAIRMAN OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

January - September in brief

Significant events during first six months (January 1 – June 30, 2021)

  • In January, new preclinical data were presented that indicates that not only can mesdopetam treat, but also prevent, the development of levodopa-induced dyskinesias (LIDs) in Parkinson's. The new results increase the commercial potential of mesdopetam.
  • In January, results were also presented from a collaboration with Chalmers University of Technology, AIcompany Smartr and IRLAB about the application of deep learning on multi-dimensional effects of CNS drugs. A summary of the interesting results were presented at the leading congress Society of Neuroscience (SfN) Global Connectome: A Virtual Event.
  • At the beginning of March, it was announced that the first European patients had been dosed in the Phase IIb/ III clinical trial with mesdopetam. Regulatory authorities across Europe have approved the study and Poland is the first European country where patients have been dosed with mesdopetam. The study is currently underway on two continents, both in the US and in Europe.
  • At the end of March, it was announced that independent scientists have confirmed that the dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) is a highly promising drug target with therapeutic potential in levodopa-induced dyskinesia, especially when the receptor's unique signaling properties are taken into account. IRLAB's mesdopetam is currently the most advanced D3R antagonist compound in the global neurology pipeline. It is used in the scientific article to exemplify a compound that could have an impact on the management of anumber of disorders marked by aberrant D3R activity. The article was published in the scientific journal Biomedicines in March 2021.
  • During the quarter, the company signed a new and extended lease agreement the company's premises. The new premises are located in direct connection to the current premises. As a result, the right of use and lease liabilities in the company's balance sheet have increased.
  • On May 6, the company's annual general meeting was conducted solely through postal voting due to the covid-19 pandemic.
  • In May, a scientific paper reporting the clinical phase I study results for drug candidate mesdopetam was published in the journal Pharmacology Research & Perspectives (PR&P). The published paper strengthens the growing scientific evidence of the drug candidate mesdopetam's significant potential in Parkinson's.
  • In June, it was announced that equity research company Edison initiates coverage of the company.
  • In mid-June, a scientific publication reporting the results from the clinical first-in-human study with pirepemat was published in the journal Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development (CPDD). Publication of results from preclinical and clinical studies are an important part of drug development and is at the center of the company's strategy to establish IRLAB's science and pipeline broadly academically as well as in the industry.

Significant events during third quarter (July 1 – September 30, 2021)

  • In July, it was announced that the global biopharmaceutical company Ipsen and IRLAB entered a licensing agreement, providing Ipsen exclusive worldwide development and commercial rights to mesdopetam, a novel investigational drug candidate for the treatment of dyskinesia and psychosis in Parkinson. IRLAB will continue to be responsible for the ongoing Phase IIb trial that started in autumn 2020. Ipsen will take over and drive the preparatory activities for the upcoming Phase III trial and will be responsible for all remaining clinical development and worldwide commercialization. IRLAB is eligible to receive up to \$363m and royalties. Payments include a \$28m upfront payment, corresponding to approximately SEK 240m, and up to 335m in potential development, regulatory and sales-based milestones, plus tiered low double-digit royalties on worldwide net sales.
  • In September, it was announced that IRLAB has been granted an increased patent protection for the Phase II candidate pirepemat. The granted patent describes a chemical process for the manufacturing of pirepemat in its pure form.

Significant events after end of period

• After the end of the period, no significant events that have affected the group's financial results or position has occurred.

After the mesdopetam deal – focus on P001, P003 and pirepemat

From the very start, IRLAB's business has been focused on our two clinical drug projects, mesdopetam and pirepemat. At the same time it has been important to further develop ISP, our research platform, to enable early research and continually discover new drug candidates. Thanks to the focused and goal-directed efforts of our research team, we now have several very promising drug candidate projects that are rapidly approaching clinical Phase I studies.

The mesdopetam agreement enables completely new opportunities for adding value for shareholders by developing pioneering treatments of a number of CNS illnesses. The license agreement means significant revenues and reduced costs, as Ipsen will be responsible for investments in the remaining developmental stages of mesdopetam, except for the current Phase IIb/III study. Moreover, internal resources tied to mesdopetam will be freed up. IRLAB will now expand preclinical activities in the P001 and P003 projects and focus on developing substances that have the best potential for being safe and effective for patients, and therefore attractive for future partners.

P001 – for better cognitive function

This project aims to develop new drugs that improve the interconnection and signals between nerve cells in the cerebral cortex, in order to strengthen patients' cognitive functions – and to do it in a way that not only eases their symptoms but may also slow down the course of the illness. Using ISP, we have developed several substances with varying inherent characteristics that can be appropriate for treatment of Parkinson's as well as other broader disease groups in neurology and psychiatry. We believe that this new class of potential drugs should be able to improve treatment of dementia-related illnesses, depression, schizophrenia and even ADHD.

IRLAB has already nominated IRL942 as a candidate drug and generated preclinical proof of concept in several disease models for cognitive improvement. We have initiated scaling up manufacture of IRL942 in order to carry out the animal studies required for regulatory approval to begin clinical Phase I studies. Additional candidate drugs are expected to be nominated from this project.

P003 – transforming treatment of Parkinson's

In the treatment of the basic symptoms of Parkinson's disease, the most effective drugs today are based on levodopa or apomorphine in different preparations. These two substances deliver a good effect, but with varying absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and very short effect durations, which leads to poor treatment results. It has long been an explicit goal in the field to find a better, longer-acting alternative to these two drugs.

For the third quarter of 2021 IRLAB has shown a positive result of SEK 120m, primarily due to the licensing of our drug candidate mesdopetam to Ipsen, a global pharmaceutical firm. The mesdopetam deal is transformational for IRLAB – we have shown that our business model works and that our ISP research platform is an effective tool for developing drug candidates that are attractive to the market. At the same time, we have laid the foundation for taking the next step towards our vision of creating a sustainable and profitable drug development company. The deal is one of the largest ever made within Swedish biotech, and gives us completely new opportunities for increasing and broadening our ISP research activities, focusing on the pirepemat project and taking new drug candidates from our preclinical project into clinical studies.

CEO's comment "IRLAB is now situated in a much better position than at any earlier phase. We have a partnership with a global pharmaceutical company, a strong cash position, and new projects and drug candidates with very exciting characteristics on their way to clinical development. We have also received attention and expressions of interest from our biotech and pharma sphere in a completely different way than earlier. We have every reason to view the future with confidence."

NICHOLAS WATERS, CEO

As part of IRLAB's P003 project, we have discovered long-acting substances that have the same or better effectiveness than levodopa or apomorphine in animal studies. Here we see a great opportunity to transform the treatment of the core symptoms of Parkinson's disease with new candidate drugs. The project has achieved preclinical proof of concept, and we are now optimizing the first drug candidates.

Pirepemat

Pirepemat is a unique development program. Today there are no drugs that specifically address the problem of falls in Parkinson's disease. Problems with balance and falls are one of biggest issues for these patients, and it is estimated that about 50% of all diagnosed patients fall often. This gives rise to reduced quality of life for the individua as well as very high societal costs and a which means there is a very large need for an effective treatment. Pirepemat has shown very promising results in preclinical and clinical studies.

Cutting a new path of our own requires, however, that we are thorough in planning our studies and charting the regulatory journey forward. After considerable efforts together with government authorities and research experts in both Europe and the US, we have an elaborate study plan. We will begin a Phase IIb study as soon as authorities approve our application.

Our cooperation with Ipsen on Mesdopetam

It's very exciting for us to work together with a global partner, and thus far the cooperation has exceeded all expectations. This quarter we worked together with Ipsen to create the working groups and processes required for continued successful development of mesdopetam towards a market launch. A technology transfer of all data and knowhow took place early this fall, and Ipsen is now forging ahead with preparations for the Phase III studies.

IRLAB continues to be responsible for completing the current international Phase IIb/III study, while Ipsen handles all the other activities and costs associated with them. It is important for both Ipsen and us, however, that IRLAB's accumulated experience and knowledge of mesdopetam benefit the project, which is why IRLAB staff will continue to engage in the working groups that are driving developments toward Phase III and a market launch.

A deal resonating around the world

A relatively small northern European research firm like ours usually demands enormous efforts to gain the attention of potential business partners. The agreement with Ipsen, however, has put us in the spotlight of our entire industry, and we are now experiencing inquiries from a great many actors regarding our projects and ISP, our research platform

Accounting of upfront revenues from the mesdopetam deal

The mesdopetam deal gave IRLAB an initial payment of SEK 240m, which was paid during the third quarter, contributing to a cashflow exceeding SEK 200m. The revenue and results for IRLAB is, however, will differ due to two factors.

Revenues are affected by the fact that IRLAB is responsible for carrying out the ongoing Phase IIb/III study, which means that revenues to a certain degree will be deferred and continuously recognized during the study period. A total of about SEK 55m has been deferred, of which SEK 5m will be recognized in the third quarter, and the remaining SEK 50m is to be recognized in the remainder of 2021 and 2022.

Costs are affected by the fact that the booked value of the mesdopetam project must reversed, which increases booked costs by SEK 39m.

Neither the deferred revenues nor the reversal of the booked value have any effect on IRLAB's cash flow.

Effects of the Covid-19 pandemic

Within the clinical program we see signs that the healthcare situation in certain countries and regions is stressed,

CEO's comment

and that regulatory authorities now have longer decision times for approvals. We also see that hospitals' capacity for participating in and carrying out clinical tests is limited, due to the need for acute care for Covid-19 patients. While this can affect IRLAB's clinical studies, we are following the situation closely and are taking measures to minimize the effects on our projects and schedules.

A new and stronger position

IRLAB is now situated in a much better position than at any earlier phase. We have a partnership with a global pharmaceutical company, a strong cash position, pirepemat on its way into Phase IIb and new projects and drug candidates with very exciting characteristics on their way to clinical development. We have also received attention and expressions of interest from our biotech and pharma sphere in a completely different way than earlier. We are now in a position to accelerate the development of IRLAB and strengthen ourselves with important core competencies in R&D, business development, finance and IR, in order to continue building a strong, business-oriented organization.

We have every reason to view the future with confidence.

November 2021 Nicholas Waters, CEO IRLAB Therapeutics

Clinical phase

Tolerability, safety and efficacy studies.

Mesdopetam

Mesdopetam (IRL790) is being developed to prevent and treat levodopa-induced dyskinesias (troublesome involuntary movements, PD-LIDs) in Parkinson's disease. The aim is to reduce troublesome dyskinesias and then extend the daily time with good and controlled mobility, so-called "good ON-time". Mesdopetam also has antipsychotic properties, and is even being developed for Parkinson's (PD-P) psychoses.

Pirepemat

Pirepemat (IRL752) is being developed to improve balance and reduce falls in Parkinson's disease. Pirepemat is also being developed for the treatment of dementia in Parkinson's disease (PD-D).

Preclinical phase

Laboratory studies to meet the requirements for studies in the clinical phase.

IRLAB's P001 project is imed at developing new drugs that improve the connection and the signalling between nerve celles in the cortex to strengthen patient's cognitive ability in a way that not only relieves symptoms, but also has the potential to slow down disease progression

The aim of the drug candidates, IRL942 and IRL1009, is to treat mental illness, as well as cognitive and motor disorders associated with neurodegenerative and age-related CNS diseases.

Discovery phase

Laboratory tests for discovering drug candidates. The P003 research program includes a group of molecules with the potential to be developed into drugs for the treatment of the hallmark symptoms of Parkinson's disease. In the treatment of the hallmark symptoms of Parkinson's disease, the most effective drugs are currently based on levodopa or apomorphine in various forms. These two substances can show good efficacy but have a short

duration, which leads to poor treatment results.

For a long time, it has been a goal to find better, long-acting, alternatives to these two drug substances. IRLAB's P003 project aims to develop long-acting substances that have a better efficacy than levodopa or apomorphine. The project has achieved preclinical proof of concept

IRLAB's research and development portfolio

IRLAB's project portfolio consists of drug candidates in the clinical and preclinical development phase. The project portfolio is focused on developing new treatments for patients with Parkinson's disease. The project portfolio comprises a combination of the fully-funded mesdopetam program, run in collaboration with global partner Ipsen, as well as innovative in-house programs from preclinical to Phase IIb. All drug candidates have been developed with the help of the company's proprietary research platform, ISP.

Project portfolio

Mesdopetam (IRL790) is an antagonist of the dopamine D3 receptor and reduces the overactivity which, via the D3 receptor, leads to dyskinesias (involuntary movements) in Parkinson's disease. See the image of the mechanism of action of mesdopetam on the left.

Clinical development of mesdopetam

IRLAB has completed clinical Phase I, Phase Ib and Phase IIa studies with mesdopetam. Following positive results in the Phase I and Phase Ib studies, a clinical Phase IIa study was carried out on patients with Parkinson's disease and dyskinesias. The aim was to study the efficacy, safety and tolerability of mesdopetam in approximately 70 patients. Analyses of efficacy data indicate that mesdopetam can reduce dyskinesias in Parkinson's disease (PD-LIDs) without affecting other mobility in patients. The study results indicate that mesdopetam has good potential to help patients with Parkinson's disease to optimize their treatment with levodopa without risking dyskinesias. This increases the time of day when levodopa treatment helps with the basic symptoms (called "good ON-time") without the patient experiencing troublesome dyskinesias. Recent preclinical studies indicate that mesdopetam has further potential to be able to prevent the development of dyskinesias, which means that mesdopetam may be relevant for a larger group of patients.

Ongoing Phase IIb/III study

A Phase IIb/III study with mesdopetam in PD-LIDs was started at the end of 2020, and initial top-line results are expected during the first half of 2022. The study is designed to potentially form part of the final pivotal program, ie Phase III studies, which form the basis for regulatory marketing approval. In the study, a total of about 140 patients will be treated over three months, divided into four different groups: three dose levels of mesdopetam and a placebo group. The study's primary endpoint is the change in number of hours daily with good mobility without troublesome dyskinesias, so-called "good ON-time", which is measured through a patient diary. The study is conducted at clinics in both Europe and the United States and through the start of the study, the company's clinical development work was expanded to the US, which was an important strategic goal for the company.

The development plan for mesdopetam includes further clinical studies to evaluate the effect of mesdopetam also on psychosis symptoms (PD-P).

GUNNAR OLSSON – CHAIR OF THE BOARD

IRLAB Therapeutics AB (publ) (with prior names Integrative Research Laboratories Holding AB and Integrative Invest AB) is the parent company of Integrative Research Laboratories Sweden AB (IRL Sweden), a research and development company with the aim of transforming life for patients with Parkinson's through novel treatments. The company's most advanced candidates, mesdopetam (IRL790) and pirepemat (IRL752), intends to treat some of the most difficult symptoms related to Parkinson's: levodopa-induced dyskinesias (PD-LIDs), psychosis (PD-P) and impaired balance leading to falls (PD-Falls). Both drug candidates have completed Phase IIa studies. In July 2021, an license agreement regarding the global and exclusive rights to develop and commercialize the drug candidate mesdopetam was entered with drug company Ipsen. IRLAB will continue to be responsible for finalizing and financing the ongoing Phase IIb/III study but has no other material obligations. According to the license agreement, IRLAB is eligible to receive up to \$363m in up-front and milestone payments, whereof \$28 was paid out during the third quarter 2021. In addition, IRLAB is eligible to receive tiered low double-digit royalties on worldwide net sales.

The company also has a unique and proprietary research platform for developing new drug substances. The two most recently generated drug substances IRL942 & IRL1009 are both in preclinical phase and intended to improve motor function as well as mental and cognitive health in age-related diseases of the central nervous system (CNS). The project portfolio comprises a combination of the fully-funded mesdopetam program, run in collaboration with global partner Ipsen, as well as innovative inhouse programs from preclinical to Phase IIb.

The parent company's operations mainly consist of providing management and administrative services for the group's operative companies. In addition, the parent company manages group-wide issues, such as activities and information related to the stock market, as well as other group management issues. The research and development operations are conducted in the wholly owned subsidiary Integrative Research Laboratories Sweden AB.

Research and development work

The research and development work has advanced according to plan. Total costs for research and development during the period, including TSEK 39,093 relating to the reversal of acquired development projects connected to the licensing agreement with mesdopetam, amounts to TSEK 99,968 (59,553), which corresponds to 83% (82%) of the group's total operating costs.

Development costs vary over time, depending on where in the development phase the projects are.

Comments on the income statement

The result for the period January 1 – September 30, 2021 amounts to TSEK 74,897 (TSEK –72,187). Earnings per share amount to SEK 1.45 (SEK 1.52).

The company's net revenues during the period amounted to TSEK 195,794 (TSEK 0). TSEK 54,335 of the TSEK 239,596 that was paid out as up-front under the license agreement regarding mesdopetam, has been allocated to the finalization of the ongoing Phase IIb/III study and will be recognized as income over time until during the study period which is estimated to the remainder of 2021 and 2022. Therefore, the income from the license agreement is TSEK 185, 262. During the third quarter 2021, TSEK 5,377 has been recognized as income connected to the ongoing Phase IIb/III study and income from other services to Ipsen amounts to TSEK 5,003.

The company's operating expenses during the period amounted to TSEK 120,588 (TSEK 72,333), which was an i ncrease of TSEK 48,255 compared to the same period in 2020. The increase can mainly be attributed to the reversal of intellectual property rights connected to the licensing of mesdopetam, contributing with TSEK 39,091 (TSEK 0) and transaction cost in connection with the mesdopetam license amounting to TSEK 8,982 (TSEK 0).

The group's performance January - September 2021

Share data

The number of registered shares at the end of the reporting period was 51 748 406 (48 498 406) shares, of which 51 668 630 (48 418 630) were A shares and 79 776 (79 776) were B shares.

The transaction cost consists of remuneration to external parties and is depending on total revenues from the licensing agreement. The remaining increase compared to last year is attributable to the company having a higher activity in ongoing studies and thereby higher costs during than during the same period in 2020.

Financing and cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities January 1 to September 30, 2021 amounts to TSEK 157,029 (TSEK -72,785) and the cash flow for the period amounts to TSEK 200,234 (TSEK 59,167). Cash and cash equivalents as of Sepember 30, 2021 amount to TSEK 431,168 (TSEK 169,693).

Equity at September 30, 2021 was TSEK 422,598 (TSEK 244,105) and the equity/assets ratio was 85% (92%).

The executive management believes that there are sufficient cash and cash equivalents to cover working capital needs, given the current business and development plan, to carry out the development plans over the next twelve months. This mainly relates to activities within the framework of upcoming clinical studies for pirepemat (IRL752) and mesdopetam (IRL790), as well as costs for preclinical studies, the new projects/drug candidates, and other operating costs.

Investments

Investments for the period January 1 – September 30, 2021 amounted to TSEK 561 (TSEK 394).

Notes

Note 1. Accounting principles

The group applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and RFR 1 Supplementary accounting rules for groups when preparing financial reports. The parent company applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for legal entities when preparing financial reports.

As of January 1, 2019, shareholder contributions rendered to subsidiaries that are intended to cover the subsidiaries' costs for research are expensed in the parent company. The cost is reported in the income statement under Profit from participations in group companies.

The management in the parent company thereby reflects the accounting in the group, where all costs for research are charged to the result. The opening balance remains unchanged as the company's assessment is that there is no need for impairment. Applied accounting principles corresponds to what appears in the Annual report 2020.

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

New and amended standards adopted from 2021 have not had any significant impact on the group's financial position.

Revenue recognition

Net sales consist of income from the sale of products or licensing of products, e.g. in the form of drug development projects (candidate drugs) and services.

In accordance with IFRS 15, revenue recognition occurs when control of the goods/service is transferred to the customer based on a five step model:

  • Identify the contract with the customer
  • Identify the various performance obligations in the contract
  • Determine the transaction price
  • Allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation
  • Recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied

At the start of a customer contract, IRLAB determines to what extend the goods and/or services to be delivered constitute a performance obligation or several separate performance obligations. A performance obligation is defined as a distinct promise to provide a product or service. A product or service that has been promised is distinct if both of the following criteria are fulfilled:

  • the customer can use the product or service separately or together with other resources that are available for the customer; and
  • the Group's obligation to transfer the product or service to the customer can be distinguished from other obligations in the agreement.

When determining the transaction price, which is the compensation that is promised in the agreement, the Group considers potential variable compensation. The transaction price incudes variable payments only if it is highly likely that a substantial reversal of the income is not expected to occur for a future period.

When entering a drug candidate license agreement, the income is allocated between the different performance obligations that is recognized in the agreement. Revenues for agreed but not yet performed services are reported as contract liabilities. No customer agreements within the group are considered to include a significant financing component. IRLAB allocates the transaction price for each performance obligation on the basis of an independent sale price. The independent sale price is the price at which the group would sell the product or service separately to the customer. IRLAB recognizes the income when the group fulfills a performance obligation by transferring a product or service to a customer, i.e. when the customer takes control of the asset. A performance obligation is fulfilled either over time or by a specific time.

IRLAB's income is made up primarily of the sale or licensing of products in the form of drug development projects or candidate drugs, but services related to the sold products are often an important part of the income. The sale of products is recognized as income when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which normally occurs in conjunction with the transfer of rights to use IR-LAB's patents, study results and other rights connected to the product. Services are recognized over time. For services that take place over a shorter period of time, the revenues are recognized in practice when the service has been completed.

Note 2. Risks and uncertainties

IRLAB Therapeutics' financial risk exposure and risk management are described on pages 93–94, and business risks described on pages 99–100, of the Annual Report 2020. No significant changes have occurred that affect the reported risk.

Covid-19

To date, the global pandemic has not had any significant direct effects on IRLAB's operational activities, results or financial position. Effects in the medium to long-term cannot yet be assessed, but the company is monitoring and evaluating the situation on an ongoing basis. There are, however, indications that the situation at healthcare providers in certain countries and regions is under pressure, which affects the hospitals' ability to participate in clinical trials. Additionally, interactions have shown that regulatory authorities currently have longer processing times. Combined, this may come to affect IRLAB's clinical programs if the outbreak of covid-19 continues to strain global healthcare resources, and restrictions on individuals' freedom of movement is extended beyond what is known today. We therefore follow the situation closely and evaluate measures to minimize the impact on our projects and timelines.

Note 3. Related party transactions

With the exception of salaries and other remuneration to the executive management, as well as board fees in accordance with the resolution of the Annual General Meeting, no transactions have taken place with related parties.

Note 4. Financial instruments

The group currently has no financial instruments that are valued at fair value, rather all financial assets and liabilities are valued at accrued acquisition value. It is judged that there are no significant differences between fair value and book value regarding the financial assets and liabilities. The carrying amount for financial assets on the closing date amounts to TSEK 436,284 (TSEK 169,693).

Note 5. Net sales

Net sales consist of income from licensing of drug development projects or candidate drugs and services related to ongoing studies, revenues from services performed on behalf of customers and other service revenues.

Notes

This interim report has been reviewed by the company's auditors. The Board of Directors and the CEO assure that the interim report provides a fair overview of the parent company's and the group's operations, position and results, and describes significant risks and uncertainties faced by the company and the companies included in the group.

IRLAB Therapeutics AB (publ.) reg. no. 556931-4692

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of IRLAB Therapeutics AB (publ.) as of 30 September 2021 and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review 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 International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do 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 interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.
