Karolinska Development (Nasdaq Stockholm: KDEV) is an investment company which offers a unique opportunity to share in the growth in value of a number of Nordic life sciences companies with high commercial potential, eight of which have projects in the clinical development or early commercial phase. Clinical phase II results are expected for presentation by five of the portfolio companies' in 2018 and first half of 2019, offering the potential for substantially increased opportunities for attractive divestments or licensing deals. Comparable candidate drugs have, in recent years, been out-licensed or sold for contract values of between SEK 1.8 and 7.7 billion for the individual projects. The portfolio companies have been strengthened in the past year through the recruitment of senior executives with a documented ability to close international business deals in the life sciences sector.

• HealthCap invested SEK 60 million in Modus Therapeutics, making it one of the company's biggest shareholders. The investment coincided with the conversion of convertible notes held by current shareholders. The new investment, together with the conversion, totalled just over SEK 140 million
and the transaction resulted in the book value of Karolinska Development's holding in Modus Therapeutics increasing as early as the second quarter of 2018 (July 2018).
"We are in an intensive phase of Karolinska Development's development, where a number of portfolio companies are expected to communicate results from important clinical trials in a relatively short period of time. First off the mark was Dilafor, and the results were unfortunately not those for which we had hoped. Phase 2 results from Modus Therapeutics, Aprea Therapeutics and Umecrine Cognition are now in the pipeline and all three of these companies expect to present their results over the next nine months. We also note that Karolinska Development in the third quarter once again was able to return a positive financial result."

We are in an intensive phase of Karolinska Development's development in which a number of portfolio companies are expected to communicate results from important clinical trials within a relatively short period of time. First off the mark was Dilafor, and the results were unfortunately not those for which we had hoped. Phase 2 results from five clinical trials from Modus Therapeutics, Aprea Therapeutics and Umecrine Cognition are now in the pipeline and all three of these companies expect to present their results over the next nine months.
The failure of studies to achieve their primary goals is a natural part of the research process. Statistically speaking, only about one in ten candidate drugs that enter into clinical research actually reaches the market, and this is obviously something that we have taken into account in our overall investment strategy. Our portfolio of companies is well-structured, and includes potentially ground-breaking medical treatments, and combines a business-minded approach with professional development of innovative life science projects in a way that maximises the potential for long-term success. Our current position can be summarised in the following three points:
We have noted substantial interest in our portfolio companies during the summer and autumn, resulting in HealthCap's investment in Modus Therapeutics and Vesalius Biocapital III Partners' investment in Forendo Pharma. These types of investment are examples of value-boosting activities and they also provide confirmation that our work with the portfolio companies is contributing to their success.
Several of our holdings have been listed on the stock market recently, enabling us to realise a good return on some of our investments. The last quarter saw Asarina Pharma successfully listed on the NASDAQ First North exchange in Stockholm. A new share issue in conjunction with the listing was oversubscribed by 175%. Karolinska Development's holding in the company after the share issue totals 1.2%.
The first clinical trial of Forendo Pharma's FOR-6219 candidate drug began when the trial was given the goahead by the British pharmaceutical regulatory authority, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). The phase Ia study is designed to investigate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics and presentation of the first results is expected towards the end of 2018.
Our portfolio companies, including Aprea Therapeutics, Modus Therapeutics and Umecrine Cognition, are scheduled to present the results of five important phase II studies in the next nine months.
Aprea Therapeutics' candidate drug, APR-246, has demonstrated initial positive results in a combination study with the standard treatment, azacitidine, in patients with the type of leukaemia known as TP53 mutant myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukaemia (MDS and AML). The company's candidate drug has shown itself capable of reactivating mutant p53 protein – an endogenous substance that, under normal conditions, inhibits uncontrolled cell division. The median survival period for MDS patients with mutated p53 is only just over 7 months.
The phase IIa study of patients with platinum-sensitive high grade serous ovarian cancer is also continuing according to plan and the results are scheduled for presentation in 2019.
Karolinska Development owns 1.5% of the company directly and a further 16% through KDev Investments. A licensing deal for a similar pharmaceutical project was signed some years ago with a contract value of over SEK 4 billion. The average probability of positive phase II data for projects in these therapeutic indication areas is 27-33%.
Umecrine Cognition is conducting two phase II studies of the GR3027 candidate drug. The first of these studies involves patients with a serious form of sleep disorder, with the data from this trial expected at the end of 2018. The other phase II study involves patients with hepatic encephalopathy, neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with liver failure, and the results are expected in 2019. As far as Karolinska Development is aware, no other company has similar treatments in the clinical phase of development.
Karolinska Development owns 68% of Umecrine Cognition. Two licensing deals involving similar pharmaceutical projects were signed in recent years with contract values of over SEK 3 billion and SEK 1.8 billion, respectively. The average probability of positive phase II results for this type of project is 34%.
Modus Therapeutics is expected to present the results of a phase II study of the candidate drug, sevuparin, for the treatment of the heritable disease, sickle cell anaemia, in the first half of 2019. People with this disease are at risk of microvascular obstructions, known as Vaso-Occlusive Crises (VOCs), which cause oxygen deprivation and severe pain. There is currently no treatment available for the acute phases of the disease, other than analgesics. Sevuparin is classified as a potential orphan drug in the USA and EU, granting market exclusivity for seven and ten years, respectively.
Karolinska Development owns 52% of Modus through KDev Investments. Two partnership agreements for pharmaceutical projects in the same developmental phase for the treatment of sickle cell anaemia have been signed in recent years, with contract values of near SEK 6 billion and about SEK 3 billion, respectively. The average probability of positive phase II data for projects in this therapeutic indication area is 50%.
We are also looking forward, with real excitement, to additional study data that could potentially trigger substantial increases in value and will, at the same time, continue our evaluation of measures designed to further strength our financial position.
In conclusion, we can note that Karolinska Development in the third quarter as for the accumulated period January to September 2018 was able to return a positive financial result. We are now looking forward to further results from clinical studies that potentially can lead to substantial increases in value while we at the same time continue evaluating measures to strengthen our financial situation.

Aprea Therapeutics (Stockholm, Sweden and Boston, US) is a biotech company developing novel anticancer compounds targeting the tumor suppressor protein p53. Mutations of the p53 gene occur in around 50% of all human tumors. These mutations are often associated with resistance to anticancer drugs and poor overall survival, representing a major unmet medical need in the treatment of cancer. Aprea's lead drug candidate APR-246 is a first-in-class compound that reactivates mutant p53 protein, inducing programmed cell death in human cancer cells.
APR-246 is currently in a Phase IIa trial of a combined Phase Ib/IIa clinical study (the PiSARRO study), investigating the drug candidate's safety and efficacy in combination with chemotherapy in second-line treatment of patients with platinum-sensitive high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). The Phase Ib component established safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of APR-246 in combination with standard chemotherapy.
Aprea is also enrolling one Phase Ib/IIa study in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and one Phase Ib study in platinum-resistant HGSOC. Initial positive results from the Phase Ib part of the ongoing Phase Ib/IIa study in MDS have been presented at key congresses. The study evaluated the safety and efficacy of APR-246 in combination with standard chemotherapy (azacitidine) for the treatment of TP53 mutated MDS and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Initial data of 9 evaluable patients show that there was a 100% overall response rate (ORR), with 8 of 9 patients achieving a complete remission. In comparison, the ORR in corresponding patient group receiving standard of care is 30-50%. The combination of APR-246 and azacitidine was also well tolerated. APR-246 is now undergoing the Phase IIa part of the combined Phase Ib/IIa MDS study.
APR-246 has the potential to be used in many cancers as mutations in p53 are found in around 50% of all diagnosed cancers. The lead target indications thus far include ovarian cancer and blood tumors as MDS and AML. Ovarian cancer is the 7th most common cancer in women, with over 60,000 new patients diagnosed worldwide each year. HGSOC accounts for 70-80% of all deaths from ovarian cancer. MDS is an orphan disease and represents a spectrum of hematopoietic stem cell malignancies. Approximately 30-40% of MDS patients progress to AML and mutations in p53 are found in up to 20% of MDS and AML patients, which is associated with poor overall prognosis.
• Initial positive results from the ongoing Phase Ib/II study in MDS presented at the 2018 American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting in Chicago (April 2018) and at the 2018 European Hematology Association (EHA) Annual Meeting in Stockholm (June 2018).

Modus Therapeutics (Stockholm, Sweden) is developing sevuparin, an innovative, disease-modifying drug which has the potential to become a first-in-class treatment for sickle cell disease (SCD).
Sevuparin's anti-adhesive mechanism means it has the potential to prevent and resolve the microvascular obstructions experienced by SCD patients. These obstructions cause the severe pain experienced by patients during Vaso-Occlusive Crises (VOCs) and result in high morbidity through organ damage as well the risk of premature death.
Modus is conducting a Phase II study of sevuparin in hospitalized SCD patients experiencing VOC, the results of which are expected in 2018. The trial is targeting 160 patients who are randomized to receive either an intravenous infusion of sevuparin or placebo on top of standard pain medication. This proof-ofconcept study is designed to demonstrate reduced time to resolution of VOC, defined as freedom from parenteral opioid use and readiness for discharge from hospital. Secondary end-points include pharmacokinetics and safety. The study is taking place in Europe, Jamaica and the Middle East under a codevelopment deal with Ergomed, which co-invests into the trial in return for an equity stake in Modus.
Modus is also aiming to develop a presentation of sevuparin that could be self-administered by SCD patients in a timely manner to prevent VOCs developing.
SCD is an orphan disease with approximately 100,000 patients in the US and 35,000 patients in Europe. In addition to this, there is a large patient pool in the Middle East, India, South America and Africa. The average number of VOCs per patient seeking hospital care is in the order of one VOC per year. The commercial impact of a SCD treatment that reduces hospital stay and the use of opioid analgesics is expected to be substantial. A label expansion to include also the preventive treatment would expand the market size significantly.

Umecrine Cognition (Solna, Sweden) is developing a therapy that represents a new target class for several major CNS-related disorders. The lead compound GR3027 is presently in clinical development for hepatic encephalopathy (HE), a serious neuropsychiatric and neurocognitive complication in acute and chronic liver disease (including cirrhosis). The drug candidate is also being clinically evaluated as a new treatment of idiopathic hypersomnia (IH), which is a severe orphan disease characterized by chronic excessive daytime sleepiness despite normal sleep.
An increase in the inhibitory GABA system in the CNS is believed to be a main driver for the clinical signs and symptoms in a wide range of cognitive and sleep disorders, including HE and IH. This makes GABAreceptor modulating steroid antagonists that act on the neurosteroid enhancement of GABA receptor activation, as developed by Umecrine Cognition, a credible therapeutic class to explore.
GR3027 has been shown to restore different types of neurological impairments in experimental models. The drug candidate enters the CNS and reverses the inhibitory effects of the neurosteroid allopregnanolone on brain function in humans. Positive Phase Ib data from the ongoing combined Phase Ib/IIa study in HE shows that GR3027 is well tolerated, does not cause any dose-limiting side effects and has a favorable pharmacokinetic profile. GR3027 has now advanced into the phase IIa part of the study, from which results are expected in 2019. A Phase IIa study in IH is also ongoing, with data readout expected in 2018.
HE is a severe disorder with a large unmet need. In total, liver cirrhosis affects up to 1% of US and EU populations. Between 180,000 and 290,000 patients with cirrhosis in the US are hospitalized due to complications of HE. Once HE develops, mortality reaches 22-35% after five years. HE is also associated with large societal and individual costs.
There are no approved treatments for IH but several wake-promoting agents are used off-label. However, they are inadequate to alleviate symptoms in most patients, and refractory or intolerance symptoms occur in one-quarter of patients.

Forendo (Turku and Oulu, Finland) is developing a new treatment for eliminating endometriosis while at the same time maintaining normal hormonal cycles.
Endometriosis is an estrogen dependent disease that affects women in reproductive age and is caused by cells normally lining uterus being present outside of the uterine cavity, which induces chronic inflammation. The disease is manifested in many diverse ways and it often causes particularly painful menstruations or chronic pelvic pain. The existing drug therapies ameliorate the symptoms by suppressing estrogen synthesis, but due to systemic estrogen disturbances these therapies are also associated with harmful side effects that limit the use of them. The risk of osteoporosis is for example well known in association with estrogen elimination therapies.
Forendo's drug candidate FOR-6219 is an inhibitor of the HSD17B1 enzyme, a novel drug target for tissue specific regulation of hormone activity. Proof of efficacy for this novel mechanism has been demonstrated in preclinical models, in which the compound has been shown to locally block formation of estrogen in endometrial tissue, cause regression of endometriosis and relief of the associated inflammatory pain without impacting systemic estrogen levels. A Phase Ia trial has commenced, investigating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of FOR-6219 in healthy, postmenopausal women. Results are expected at the end of 2018.
Forendo has also a second program, a dual HSD inhibitor for the treatment of broader gynecological conditions in preclinical discovery phase.
It is estimated that 10% of all fertile women are affected by endometriosis. This corresponds to a total of 176 million women in the world. Endometriosis has a detrimental effect on the well-being of the women affected and the socio-economic burden of the disease from e.g. sick leaves is profound due to the lack of safe and effective treatment. Forendo's approach to treat endometriosis therefore has a high potential to substantially impact future treatment regimens.

Promimic (Gothenburg, Sweden) is a biomaterials company that develops and markets a unique coating for medical implants called HAnano Surface, which increases their integration into bone and anchoring strength.
The HAnano Surface is nanometer thin, which helps preserve the micro-structure of the implant and reduces the risk of cracks in the coating. The coating is unique because it can be applied to any implant geometry and material, including porous materials and 3D structures. Furthermore, the HAnano coating technology offers a fast way to market since the technology that the coating is based on has been approved by FDA, whereby a new implant coated with HAnano Surface can receive marketing approval through the 510(k) route. The coating process is easy to implement in the industrial scale production of implants.
Promimic has established a sales operation in the US and a series of development and commercial partnerships, including with Sistema de Implante Nacional (S.I.N), a leading provider of dental implants in Brazil. S.I.N. is presently preparing a US launch of dental implants coated with HAnano Surface, which has been cleared for use by the FDA. A manufacturing facility for HAnano coated implants to supply the US and Chinese markets has also been established by the Promimic's partner, Danco Anodizing.
Promimic is focusing on the markets for dental and orthopedic implants, which collectively represents a worldwide market opportunity of USD 600 - 800 million. The implant industry is a large, high-growth market which delivers high profit margins. The competition amongst implant manufacturers is fierce and each market segment is dominated by four-to-eight global companies. The strategies of many of these companies rely on in-licensing new technologies in order to differentiate their products and strengthen their market position. Promimic has a business model designed to meet these needs. It is centered on out-licensing its HAnano Surface technology to leading implant manufacturers so that they can incorporate it into their products.
• 510(k) clearance granted by US FDA to market dental implants coated with Hanano Surface (December 2017).
• Further product launches and license agreements with major manufacturers during 2018.

We have reviewed the condensed interim report for Karolinska Development AB, the Investment Entity, as at September 30, 2018 and for the nine months period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report 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.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements, ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Statements 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 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.
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 regarding the Investment Entity, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Annual Accounts Act. The accounting policies applied to the Investment Entity and the Parent Company correspond, unless otherwise stated below, to the accounting policies and valuation methods used in the preparation of the most recent annual report.
Karolinska Development AB (publ) ("Karolinska Development," "Investment Entity" or the "Company") is a Nordic life sciences investment company. The Company, with Corporate Identity Number 556707-5048, is a limited liability company with its registered office in Solna, Sweden. The Company focuses on identifying medical innovations and investing in the creation and growth of companies developing these assets into differentiated products that will make a difference to patients' lives and provide an attractive return on investment to its shareholders. Investments are made in companies whose sole purpose is to generate a return through capital appreciation and investment income. These temporary investments, which are not investment entities, are designated "portfolio companies" below.
No changes in accounting principles has been made for the Investment Company or the parent company during third quarter 2018.
No new or revised IFRS standards or recommendations from IFRS Interpretations Committee has had impact on the Investment Entity. At the introduction of IFRS 16 Leases is expected to have small influence on the financial reporting compared to the current reporting. The company will adopt the "alternatively not restate comparative information" method.
Equity per share: Equity on the closing date in relation to the number of shares outstanding on the closing date.
Equity to total assets ratio: Equity divided by total assets.
Interim period: The period from the beginning of the financial year through the closing date.
Reporting period: January – September 2018.
The Company presents certain financial measures in the year-end report that are not defined under IFRS. The Company believes that these measures provide useful supplemental information to investors and the company's management as they allow for the evaluation of the company's performance. Because not all companies calculate the financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable to measures used by other companies. Therefore, these financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for measures as defined under IFRS.
Portfolio companies: Companies where Karolinska Development has made investments (subsidiaries, joint ventures, associated companies and other long-term securities holdings) which are active in pharmaceuticals, medtech, theranostics and formulation technology.
The Portfolio Fair Value is divided into Total Portfolio Fair Value and Net Portfolio Fair Value.
Total Portfolio Fair Value: The aggregated proceeds that would be received by Karolinska Development and KDev Investments if the shares in their portfolio companies were sold in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Net Portfolio Fair Value (after potential distribution to Rosetta Capital) is the net aggregated proceeds that Karolinska Development will receive after KDev Investments' distribution of proceeds to Rosetta Capital.
Net asset value per share: Net Portfolio Fair Value of the total portfolio (SEK 539.1 million), loans receivable from portfolio companies (SEK 5.1 million), short-term investments (SEK 70.1 million), cash and cash equivalents (SEK 17.9 million), and net of financial assets and liabilities minus interest-bearing liabilities (SEK 71.8 million minus SEK 416.0 million), in relation to the number of shares outstanding (64 174 452) on the closing date (30 September 2018).

The valuation of the company's portfolio is based on the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines (IPEV) and IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. Based on the valuation criteria provided by these rules, an assessment is made of each company to determine a valuation method. This takes into account whether the companies have recently been financed or involved with a transaction that includes an independent third party or a valuation from an external independent valuation and if the companies recently have met significant milestones. If there is no valuation available based a recently refinancing or other thirdparty valuation and there is no valuation available based on a similar transaction or an external independent valuation, discounted cash flow models (DCF) may be used.
For detailed description, see the annual report 2017.
Karolinska Development has issued convertible debentures, so called compound financial instruments, in which the holder has right to convert into shares, the number of shares to be issued are not affected by changes in fair value of the shares.
The debt portion of the compound financial instrument is initially recognized at fair value for a similar debt without a conversion right into shares. The equity portion is initially recognized as the difference between the total fair value of compound financial instrument and the fair value of the debt portion. Directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the debt respectively equity portion based on their initial recognized values.
Post-acquisition the debt portion of the compound financial instrument is valued to amortized costs based on the effective interest method. The equity portion of the compound financial instrument is not revalued postacquisition, except at conversion or redemption.
Karolinska Development issued convertible debentures with a nominal amount of SEK 387 million on 2 January 2015 which have a nominal interest rate of 8 percent. The nominal amount was reduced to SEK 329 million after the set-off issue in March 2017. The convertible debentures will fall due for payment on 31 December 2019 at the amount of SEK 484 million (as accrued interest is interest bearing), the convertibles grant a right at any time to convert into shares at a conversion rate of 22 SEK per series B share.
