Half-yearly financial report as of June 30, 2020

ONXEO

This report is prepared pursuant to Article L. 451-1-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code and Articles 222-4 to 222-6 of the General Regulations of the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) and the provisions of Articles L.232-7 par. 3 and R 232-13 of the French Commercial Code.

1. PREAMBLE

Onxeo is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing novel cancer drugs by targeting tumor DNA function through unique mechanisms of action in the highly sought-after area of DNA damage response (DDR). The Company is focused on the development of novel first-in-class or disruptive compounds from translational research to human clinical proof-of-concept, a value-creating and attractive inflection point for potential partners.

Onxeo is listed on Euronext Paris and Nasdaq Copenhagen.

2. BUSINESS TRENDS AND SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR

The Company has developed advanced expertise in the development of oligonucleotides that target tumor DNA functions. Its platON™ platform generates disruptive drug candidates that share a unique agonist decoy mechanism of action in oncology and have differentiated properties and biological targets. PlatON™ has already generated two very promising first candidates:

  • AsiDNA™ is a first-in-class inhibitor of tumor DNA repair that does not induce resistance but, on the contrary, has the potential to abrogate tumor resistance to targeted therapies. AsiDNA™ has already demonstrated a favorable tolerance profile in two Phase 1 trials (DRIIM and DRIIV). Its clinical evaluation is currently underway in two combination studies:

  • DRIIV-1b, which is currently being finalized, in which it is combined with chemotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors, and

  • REVOCAN, which was recently initiated, in which it is added to the PARP inhibitor niraparib upon the development of resistance to this therapy in patients with relapsed ovarian cancer.

  • OX401 is a compound designed to specifically target the PARP protein and activate the immune response via the STING pathway. The preclinical profile of OX401 was validated in June 2020. In these in vivo studies, OX401 demonstrated potent antitumor activity, superior to that of a conventional PARP inhibitor, as well as strong activation of the immune response. The next step is its evaluation in vivo in combination with immunotherapies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors.

The Company's portfolio also includes belinostat, an HDAC inhibitor that has already received conditional approval from the FDA for the second-line treatment of patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma and is marketed in the United States in this indication under the name Beleodaq®. This product is licensed to a U.S. partner, Acrotech Biopharma LLC, which acquired additional exclusive worldwide rights for belinostat in April 2020.

The Company believes that its portfolio in the field of DNA tumor damage response, through innovative therapeutic approaches with high scientific value, positions Onxeo as a key player in one of the most sought-after areas in oncology. To implement its growth strategy, the Group relies on innovative assets, a differentiated positioning and solid skills, which form the basis of its future growth:

  • The Company has unique expertise in its decoy agonist oligonucleotide technology in oncology, strengthened by its position as the first entrant in this mechanism of action;
  • The agonist decoy mechanism of the compounds developed by the Company is unparalleled to date in oncology and provides highly differentiated properties, particularly in terms of tolerance, lack of resistance and effect on resistance to other treatments;

Half-yearly financial report as of June 30, 2020

  • AsiDNA™ has demonstrated a favorable safety profile in the clinic, which constitutes a considerable asset for its development in combination. OX401 has also shown a high selectivity for tumor cells in preclinical studies.
  • The Company's platform, platON™, enables the design of decoy agonist oligonucleotides with differentiated biological properties and will continue to enrich the portfolio with high-value compounds.
  • Onxeo is led by an experienced management team and Board of Directors, and is advised by internationally recognized scientific and medical experts in resistant cancers.

In the first half of 2020, the Group's development programs made significant progress, despite the health crisis, which to date has only had a limited impact on the planned timetable.¹ Enrollment of the remaining patients in DRIIV-1b was suspended during the confinement period but was resumed once it ended. Other clinical activities, including the finalization and filing of the regulatory file for the REVOCAN study, continued, as evidenced by the May 2020 approval from the French regulatory authorities for the conduct of this study.

The Company was also able to pursue most of the preclinical activities conducted in its own laboratory, including the validation of the preclinical profile of OX401, a highly innovative compound at the intersection of the fields of DNA damage response and immunotherapy.

Finally, Onxeo was able to finalize two structuring financial transactions in the first half of 2020: firstly, in April, the sale of new exclusive rights to belinostat to its partner Acrotech Biopharma LLC, and secondly, in June, a private placement with, in particular, a new renowned international long-term investor, Invus Public Equities LP.

The Group's main operational advances and organizational changes in the first half of 2020 are detailed below.

2.1. PROGRAMS UNDER DEVELOPMENT

The Company's development programs focus on drug candidates derived from its patented platform platON™ (oligonucleotide platform).

PlatON™ is a chemistry platform enabling the construction of new molecules using three components: an oligonucleotide (double-stranded DNA fragment) of variable length and sequence according to its biological target, a link between the two strands to ensure the stability of the fragment, and, where appropriate, a vector to promote cell penetration.

With platON™, Onxeo has the means to enrich its portfolio of highly innovative drug candidates while capitalizing on its expertise and knowledge accumulated in the field of oligonucleotides and DNA repair mechanisms over the past several years.

2.1.1. AsiDNA™

AsiDNA™ is the first candidate from platON™. This first-in-class product at the clinical stage positions the Group in a new field at the forefront of scientific and clinical research in oncology, that of tumor DNA damage response (DDR: DNA Damage Response).

DNA damage response consists of a network of cellular pathways that detect, signal and repair DNA damage. Proteins monitor DNA integrity and can activate cell cycle control points and repair pathways in response to damage to prevent the generation of potentially deleterious mutations.

Applied to oncology, this new field of research aims to weaken or block the ability of tumor cells to repair damage to their DNA, either naturally or through cytotoxic treatments. Tumor cells are much more dependent on their DNA repair mechanisms than healthy cells, due to their uncontrolled proliferation.

AsiDNA™ is a first-in class product in the field of DDR. It interferes with tumor DNA repair by a highly original agonist decoy mechanism, resulting from research conducted by the Institut Curie.

Half-yearly financial report as of June 30, 2020

ONXEO

The product is composed of a double-stranded DNA fragment that behaves like a damaged tumor DNA fragment. It diverts and sequesters key proteins for tumor DNA repair (decoy mechanism) and then hyperactivates them (agonist mechanism). AsiDNA™ thus induces an inhibition of DNA repair and a depletion of the tumor cell's repair pathways, which nevertheless continues its replication cycle, but with damaged DNA, leading to cell death.

AsiDNA™ specifically targets tumor cells: preclinical and clinical studies conducted to date have shown that it has no effect on healthy cells, suggesting a favorable safety profile, which has been confirmed in humans after systemic administration in the DRIV Phase 1 study and in combination with chemotherapy in the ongoing DRIV-1b study.

Of particular interest is that, unlike targeted products that inhibit a specific protein or pathway, such as PARP inhibitors (PARPi), AsiDNA™ interferes with all repair pathways. Acting upstream of multiple pathways, it does not inhibit one or more repair proteins but, on the contrary, hyperactivates them, thereby disorganizing the entire repair cascade. Thus, it does not provoke resistance mechanisms, which are faced by all targeted therapies used today in oncology. This resistance leads to therapeutic failures after several treatment cycles.

It is a very strong differentiating factor that makes it possible to consider its use in combination with other agents that damage tumor DNA, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy, or in combination with inhibitors of a specific repair pathway, such as PARPi or other targeted therapies, to significantly increase their effectiveness, in particular by removing resistance to these treatments.

In the first half of 2020, the Group actively pursued the preclinical and clinical development of this lead candidate by systemic route in combination with other treatments in various types of solid tumors, and achieved several major milestones:

  • On January 29, 2020, the Company entered into a clinical research agreement with Gustave Roussy to conduct the REVOCAN Phase 1b/2 trial, which will evaluate the effect of AsiDNA™ on acquired resistance to niraparib, a PARP inhibitor, in the maintenance treatment of relapsing ovarian cancer.

Niraparib has significantly delayed cancer progression in patients with and without the BRCA gene mutation, but the treatment efficacy decreases over time as tumors establish new repair pathways and resist treatment. In preclinical studies, AsiDNA™ has consistently demonstrated its ability to prevent or reverse the acquired resistance of tumors to PARP inhibitors, regardless of tumor mutations.

On this occasion, Dr. Patricia Pautier, oncologist, head of the Gynecological Cancers Committee at Gustave Roussy, and principal investigator of this study said: "Gustave Roussy and Onxeo will conduct an original proof-of-concept study of reversion of the resistance mechanism to a major therapeutic class. If positive, this first study, which has been approved by the GINECO Group, could pave the way for other combination trials with this therapeutic class in ovarian cancer and other diseases and offer patients who benefit from these treatments an additional opportunity to control their disease."

Gustave Roussy and Onxeo collaborated on the design of the REVOCAN multi-center clinical trial, which Gustave Roussy, as sponsor, submitted to the French National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM) and an ethics committee.

  • On May 29, 2020, Onxeo announced that the REVOCAN study had received approval from the French National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM) and the Committee for the Preservation of Persons (CPP). REVOCAN will start in its three first French centers of international renown, which are recognized experts in medical oncology: Gustave Roussy (Paris), the sponsor of the study as part of a clinical research agreement signed with Onxeo in early 2020; the Institut de Cancérologie de l'Ouest (Nantes - St Herblain); and the Hospices Civils de Lyon (CHU Lyon Sud).

The patient inclusion process in this study has started, with the objective of obtaining preliminary results in early 2021.

  • At the AACR (American Association for Cancer Research) Annual (virtual) Meeting, which was held June 22-24, 2020, the Company presented preclinical studies confirming the differentiated properties of AsiDNA™,

Half-yearly financial report as of June 30, 2020

its first-in-class inhibitor of tumor DNA repair, to reverse resistance to PARP inhibitors (PARPi) by preventing the regrowth of persistent cells.².

This new data shows for the first time that PARPi resistance can be caused by drug-tolerant cells, and that the addition of AsiDNA™ to a PARP inhibitor prevents the regrowth of these cells, thereby completely and irreversibly abolishing the emergence of resistance in ovarian tumor cells.

The results of this study are extremely encouraging for the upcoming REVOCAN Phase 1b/2 study, combining AsiDNA™ with niraparib in a clinical setting in recurrent ovarian cancer, which is expected to start in the second half of 2020. They clearly reinforce the relevance of AsiDNA™ in the fight against resistance, which is the main issue in cancer treatment today.

The role of persistent cells in resistance to other targeted therapies such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors has long been established. AsiDNA™ could thus become a reference combination therapy to counter resistance to several targeted therapies when induced by persistent cells, and the preclinical evaluation of new AsiDNA™ combinations in this context is ongoing.

2.1.2. OX401

OX401 is the second candidate from platON™. Based on Onxeo's proprietary agonist decoy technology, OX401 is positioned both in the field of inhibition of DNA damage response (DDR) by acting on PARP, a key protein for tumor DNA repair, and in the field of immuno-oncology. OX401 has been optimized to specifically target PARP without causing resistance, with high selectivity for cancer cells. In addition, OX401 is designed to induce a strong immune response by activating the STING pathway. Pre-clinical studies of OX401 in-vitro and in-vivo aim in particular to validate its efficacy, both alone and in combination with immunotherapies.

  • On January 29-30, 2020, Onxeo presented³ OX401 to the scientific community at the PARP & DDR Inhibitors Summit 2020 held in Boston, USA.
  • On February 27, 2020, Onxeo announced the acceptance of a poster presentation⁴ of OX401 at the ESMO-TAT 2020 congress, dedicated to research on targeted cancer therapies.
  • Finally, the Company announced the confirmation of the preclinical profile of OX401 on June 25, 2020. Through its action on PARP and the activation of the antitumor immune response via the cGAS-STING pathway, OX401 demonstrated in vivo a higher potency of activity than current PARP inhibitors, as evidenced by complete control of tumor growth.

The preclinical program already completed has confirmed the main properties of this new compound. OX401 exhibits potent antitumor activity, as demonstrated in an animal model of breast cancer, related to PARP overactivation and detour of its DNA repair function in specific tumor cells. PARP is a major element in the DNA repair mechanism, and the clinical benefit of acting on this protein has already been amply demonstrated by PARP inhibitors.

In addition, this activity on PARP induces a strong involvement of the cGAS-STING pathway,⁵ as demonstrated by the increase in key biomarkers of the tumor immune response. The activation of this pathway is now a very promising new approach in immuno-oncology.

Benefiting from an original decoy agonist mechanism of action like all candidates from platON™, OX401 does not induce tumor resistance to treatment, which represents a clear differentiation from targeted therapies such as PARP inhibitors. Finally, like AsiDNA™, OX401 has no activity on healthy cells, which should give it a favorable safety profile in the clinic.

The next key preclinical step will be to study its combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors. For this development, Onxeo has benefited from all the expertise that was accumulated during the development of AsiDNA™ and has thus obtained in a few months an optimized compound, which is now ready to enter

ONXEO

the final stages of preclinical validation. These translational studies will make it possible to best prepare for entry into the clinic, which could take place within 18 to 24 months.

The Group is convinced of the significant therapeutic potential of its decoy oligonucleotide technology, particularly by interfering with tumor DNA repair signals, and of the disruptive innovation it represents, which could pave the way for a new paradigm in cancer treatment.

2.1.3. Licensed product (belinostat)

Belinostat is a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi). In its injectable form, belinostat has been marketed in the United States by Spectrum Pharmaceuticals (SPPI) under the name Beleodaq® since 2014 as part of a conditional FDA approval for the second-line treatment of patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

Assignment of additional exclusive rights to belinostat to Acrotech Biopharma LLC

In March 2019, Acrotech had acquired from Spectrum Pharmaceuticals (SPPI) the license to commercialize belinostat for certain territories, including the United States, Canada, Mexico and India.

On April 6, 2020, Onxeo announced that it had entered into agreements with Acrotech Biopharma LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aurobindo Pharma.

This new agreement grants Acrotech a royalty-free license for belinostat Form IV in all other territories. As part of this transaction, Onxeo's current license agreement with Pint Pharma for South America, as well as the contracts with Clinigen plc and iQone for the Named Patient Program in certain European countries, and related agreements, were also transferred to Acrotech.

In addition, this new contract transfers certain patents and know-how concerning belinostat to Acrotech.

In return, Onxeo received a one-time payment of $6.6 million from Acrotech.

This agreement has no impact on the existing royalty monetization agreement between Onxeo and SWK Holdings, which was entered into in June 2018. Onxeo will continue to receive royalties and milestone payments from Acrotech on sales of Beleodaq® in the territories initially licensed to SPPI, which will allow Onxeo to repay the debenture debt contracted with SWK. The amounts received in this context have been fully recorded as revenues in the consolidated financial statements. Upon full repayment of the debt, Onxeo will no longer receive any income from Acrotech.

Out of the $6.6 million of the contract, an amount of €0.9 million was used to pay the amounts due under the settlement agreement reached with SpePharm on February 11, 2020⁶. The remaining funds will be used for the development of drugs in the Company's DNA damage response field.

This transaction completed Onxeo's transition to a company that is solely focused on development activities in the field of DNA damage response in oncology (DDR).

2.2. GOVERNANCE

May 29, 2020, the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders renewed the terms of Ms. Judith Greciet, Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Christine Garnier, independent director, and Mr. Nicolas Trebouta, representative of Financière de la Montagne, for three years.

The mandate of Mrs. Elvira Sanz, independent director, expired at this General Meeting.

At its meeting on September 17, 2020, the Board of Directors of Onxeo co-opted Mr. Julien Miara, representing Invus Public Equities LP, as a director of the Company, to replace Mr. Jean-Pierre Kinet who resigned. This cooptation of Mr. Miara follows his appointment as observer to the Board of Directors on June 2, 2020 and will be submitted to the shareholders for approval at the Company's next ordinary general meeting.

As of the date of this report, the Board of Directors is composed of 7 members, 4 men and 3 women, including 4 independent members, as follows:

2.3. FUNDING

2.3.1. Use of the equity financing line set up on Friday, June 7, 2019

Acting on a delegation from the Board of Directors and in accordance with the 20th resolution of the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of June 19, 2018⁷, the Company set up an equity financing line with Nice & Green on June 7, 2019 through the issuance of new shares over a 12-month period.

The characteristics of this equity financing line are described in the offering memorandum contained in the Prospectus on which the Autorité des marchés financiers ("AMF") issued visa no. 19-247 on June 7, 2019. The Prospectus consists of Onxeo's 2018 Reference Document, registered with the AMF on April 5, 2019 under number D.19-0282, and an information memorandum including the Prospectus summary.

The balance of this financing line, corresponding to 6,800,075 warrants as at December 31, 2019, was fully used in the first half of 2020 and provided the Company with total net proceeds of €3.2 million.

2.3.2. Capital increase through private placement of new shares

On June 9, 2020, Onxeo announced the completion of a capital increase for a total amount of approximately €7.3 million, which was subscribed by a new investor, Invus Public Equities LP, and by Financière de la Montagne, the Company's historical shareholder.

The capital increase was carried out through the issue of 10,136,451 ordinary shares with the cancellation of shareholders' preferential subscription rights, in the context of a private placement with qualified investors on the basis of the 15th resolution of the Extraordinary General Meeting of June 19, 2018. The new shares represent approximately 15% of the Company's share capital prior to the completion of the private placement. At the end of this placement, a shareholder owning 1% of the Company's capital had his/her holding reduced to 0.87%. The subscription price was set at €0.7182 per new share, representing a 10% discount to the weighted average share price over the last 3 trading days (i.e. between June 3 and 5, 2020 inclusive).

Following the completion of the capital increase, the shareholdings of Invus Public Equities LP and Société Financière de la Montagne amounted to 10.7% and 13.4% respectively of the Company's capital based on a total number of 78,317,810 shares. To the Company's knowledge, no other shareholder holds more than 5% of its capital.

The net proceeds of the issue are intended for:

  • the development of AsiDNA™, the Company's leading product, both clinically and industrially in ongoing and future clinical trials,

ONXEO | 11


ONXEO
Half-yearly financial report as of June 30, 2020

  • the continuation of the preclinical program to evaluate AsiDNA™'s combination strategies with other targeted therapies,
  • the development of OX401's preclinical program both alone and with immuno-oncology drugs, and, more generally, the financing of the Company's current expenses.

The funds raised, together with the proceeds from the agreement with Acrotech (cf. section 2.1.3), extend the Company's cash horizon to the first quarter of 2022.

3. IMPACT ON FINANCIAL SITUATION AND RESULTS

3.1. REVENUES

The consolidated revenues for the period ended June 30, 2020 were EUR 1.1 million, compared to EUR 1.7 million for the first half of 2019.

Recurring revenues amounted to EUR 1.1 million, compared to EUR 1.4 million in the first half of 2019. They correspond to direct sales of Beleodaq® under the European Controlled Access Program (NPP), recognized until the transfer of this activity to Acrotech under the licensing agreement signed in early April 2020. They also include royalties on sales of Beleodaq® in the United States by the partner Acrotech Biopharma, recognized as revenue until the date of the agreement. This change of scope explains the decrease in this item compared to 2019.

3.2. PERSONNEL EXPENSES

Personnel expenses decreased from 2.5 million euros in the first half of 2019 to 2 million euros in the first half of 2020, as a result of a change in headcount.

3.3. EXTERNAL EXPENSES

External expenses amounted to 2.2 million euros at June 30, 2020 compared to 5.8 million euros at June 30, 2019. This sharp decline is mainly due to the seasonality of R&D expenses, particularly for preclinical programs and AsiDNA™'s production activities in the context of ongoing and future clinical trials. Clinical activity was also impacted by the health crisis, with a delay in the inclusion of new patients in the DRIIV-1b trial. The share of external expenses related to R&D activities has therefore logically decreased from €4 million in the first half of 2019 to €0.5 million in the first half of 2020.

3.4. OTHER NON-RECURRING OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSES

This item includes the various impacts of the agreement signed with Acrotech Biopharma in April 2020, namely:

  • A net income of 5,686,000 euros corresponding to the transaction price of 6,116,000 euro less the amount of future product development costs estimated at 430,000 euro (see note 10.3).
  • An expense of 2,769,000 euros corresponding to the net carrying amount of Beleodaq®/belinostat-related R&D assets, reflecting the treatment of the contract with Acrotech under IFRS as a disposal contract (see note 5).
  • An income of 7,171,000 euros assessed on the basis of the financing plan drawn up by management, corresponding to the royalties that the Group expects to receive after the date of signature of the agreement and by means of which it will repay the balance of the SWK loan.

3.5. FINANCIAL RESULT

The financial result at June 30, 2020 is a loss of EUR 0.2 million mainly due to the cost of the bond issue with SWK Holdings.

ONXEO


Half-yearly financial report as of June 30, 2020

ONXEO

3.6. NET RESULT

As a consequence of the evolution of the activity reflected by the items of income and expenses described above and after taking into account a tax of EUR 0.8 million related to the transaction with Acrotech, the net result at June 30, 2020 is positive at EUR 5 million, compared to a loss of EUR 8.5 million in the first half of 2019.

3.7. FREE CASH FLOW

The Group's cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2020 amounted to 19.6 million euros compared to 5.7 million euros at December 31, 2019. The change in cash and cash equivalents is mainly due to the financing implemented during the six-month period, private placement and equity line of credit, which provided Onxeo with net proceeds of 10.5 million euros, as well as the agreement with Acrotech Biopharma for a net amount of 5.1 million euros after repayment of the share paid to SpePharm. These cash inflows, together with the receipt of the 2019 research tax credit in the amount of 1.4 million euros and license revenues and direct sales under the controlled access program for Beleodaq® for 3 million euros, made it possible to absorb operating expenses of 6.1 million euros.

The free cash position as at June 30 gives Onxeo visibility until the first quarter of 2022.

4. MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS

Important note regarding Covid-19

As of the date of this report, the Company considers that it has suffered only a limited impact from the health crisis and has limited exposure to risks to its operations due to the Covid-19 epidemic.

However, it does not rule out the possibility that the resumption of confinement measures by states and governments could affect the proper conduct of its outsourced activities, in particular the conduct of clinical trials, and thus lead to delays in the development of its products and greater cash consumption.

In addition, the effect of this epidemic on the global economy and financial markets could impact its ability to obtain financing in the capital markets and, as a result, the conduct of its business.

With the exception of the specific risks mentioned above relating to a major epidemic situation, no specific risk factors are anticipated in the second half of 2020, other than the risk factors inherent to the Company's business, structure, strategy and environment, as described in the 2019 Universal Registration Document filed with the Autorité des Marchés Financiers on April 27, 2020: these risks are inherent to the development of innovative drugs and depend on the success of preclinical and clinical trials, as well as on regulatory obligations in terms of safety, tolerance and efficacy.

The risks and uncertainties that the Company and the Group could face are detailed in section 3. "Risk Factors" of the 2019 Universal Registration Document filed with the Autorité des Marchés Financiers on April 27, 2020.

The main risks and uncertainties that the Company and the Group may face are summarized below:

4.1. FINANCIAL RISKS

Financial risks are essentially risks related to the Company's cash position if it does not generate significant revenues in relation to its expenses, particularly in research and development. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of 19.6 million euros at June 30, 2020, which gives it financial visibility until the first quarter of 2022. Between now and that date, the Company may have recourse to non-dilutive financing or to fund-raising in the form of more or less short-term financing to secure its operations in the event that it is unable to generate additional resources, in particular through new licensing agreements.

Factors such as the inability to establish licensing agreements for the products in its portfolio within the expected timeframe, a delay or insufficient success in its clinical trials, opportunities in terms of development or external growth, higher costs of ongoing developments, in particular due to additional requirements from regulatory authorities or to defend itself with respect to intellectual property, may influence the needs, conditions and timing of such financing.

4.2. RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY'S ACTIVITY

The Company's operating risks relate mainly to the development of its products until the first significant clinical results are obtained (proof of mechanism or concept in humans), which will allow it to initiate partnership discussions.

The Company's development portfolio consists primarily of products at an early stage of development and there is a significant risk that some or all of its drug candidates may not be developed, formulated or produced under acceptable economic conditions, may not be developed further, may not be the subject of partnership or licensing agreements, may not receive regulatory approval or may never be commercialized.

The risk of a failure or substantial delay in the development of a drug exists at all stages and particularly at the level of clinical trials, even if the company applies its know-how in translational research through which it strives to identify factors that predict the activity of the drug in humans.

In addition, the time required by regulatory authorities to respond to clinical trial applications submitted to them also varies, particularly if additional requests are made by these authorities. In addition, there is significant competitive risk for all products developed by the Company.

Half-yearly financial report as of June 30, 2020

ONXEO

With respect to the Company's structure and strategy, the most significant risks relate to the resources and size of the Company, which must attract and retain key personnel and outsource and subcontract its production.

4.3. LEGAL AND REGULATORY RISKS

Legal risks are mainly related to intellectual property, as well as to the licensing agreements in place and to counterfeits once the products are on the market.

4.4. INSURANCE AND RISK COVERAGE

The Company believes that it has insurance coverage that is adapted to its activities, including the coverage required by law for clinical trials, in France and in the rest of the world. The Company does not foresee any particular difficulties in maintaining adequate levels of insurance in the future.

Readers are invited to consult the Company's annual Universal Registration Document for a detailed description of the risks and uncertainties facing the Company.

4.5. MAIN DISPUTES IN PROGRESS

On February 11, 2020, Onxeo entered into an agreement for the amicable settlement of the remaining proceedings in its dispute with SpePharm and SpeBio B.V. that commenced in 2009, including the immediate, complete and final waiver of all pending actions, as well as any future claims or causes of action between the parties in connection with their past disagreements. This agreement commits Onxeo to pay SpePharm 15 to 20% of the net amounts to be received under future commercial agreements relating to Onxeo's R&D assets, for a total cumulative amount of 6 million euros within 4 years, i.e. no later than January 31, 2024.

Other than this settlement, and the infringement suit relating to the Beleodaq® U.S. patents set forth in section 3.3.2 of the 2019 Universal Registration Document, as of the date of this report, there are no governmental, legal or arbitration proceedings, including any proceedings of which the Company is aware, that are pending or of which the Group is threatened, that are likely to have or have had in the past 12 months a material impact on the Group's financial position or profitability.

5. FORESEEABLE EVOLUTION OF THE GROUP'S SITUATION AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

In 2020, the Company will pursue its value creation strategy based on the development of its therapeutic innovations up to proof of concept in humans, and then generate revenues through agreements with other pharmaceutical companies that are able to pursue their development.

The Company foresees the following main events:

  • AsiDNA™: Submissions and publications in international scientific journals of the results of preclinical and clinical studies as part of the development plan to establish the potential of AsiDNA™, particularly in combination with other anticancer agents; Topline results of AsiDNA™'s Phase 1b clinical trial in combination with chemotherapy (DRIIV-1b) expected in Q4 2020; start of the inclusion process in AsiDNA™'s REVOCAN trial with niraparib, a PARP inhibitor, to demonstrate the abrogation of resistance to this treatment in patients with relapsing ovarian cancer.
  • OX401: preclinical in vitro and in vivo proof of concept in combination with immunotherapies before the end of 2020.

Onxeo believes that, given its current activities, it has no further comments to make on trends that could affect its recurring revenues and general operating conditions from the date of the last fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 to the date of publication of this report.

5.1. MAIN INVESTMENTS FOR THE FUTURE, FUTURE FINANCING POLICY

The Company's main investments will be in research and development expenditures.

With a cash position of 19.6 million euros as at June 30, 2020 thanks notably to the sale of additional rights on belinostat to Acrotech for 6 million euros in April, and to the private placement for 7.3 million euros made with Invus and Financière de la Montagne in June, the Company has sufficient visibility to carry out its projects, notably the expansion of the clinical development of AsiDNA™ and the continuation of the preclinical development of OX401, until the first quarter of 2022.

In addition, the Company reserves the possibility of consolidating its financial resources through new non-dilutive financing or through fund-raising, in parallel with an ongoing search for new licensing agreements.

Half-yearly financial report as of June 30, 2020

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Onxeo is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing novel cancer drugs by targeting tumor DNA function through unique mechanisms of action in the highly sought-after area of DNA damage response (DDR).

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Onxeo's interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were approved by the Board of Directors on September 17, 2020. They have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as applicable within the European Union for interim financial information (IAS 34) authorizing the presentation of selected notes. The consolidated financial statements are therefore presented in condensed form and should be read in conjunction with the Group's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, as included in the Universal Registration Document filed with the AMF on April 27, 2020.

The accounting principles and methods applied for the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2020 are identical to those used in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019, and to the IFRS standards, amendments and interpretations as adopted by the European Union and the IASB, whose application is mandatory for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2020 (and which had not been applied early by the Group), namely:

Standard Heading
Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of the term "significant
Amendments to IAS 39, IFRS 7 and IFRS 9 Reference interest rate reform

The impact of these standards, amendments and interpretations on the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2020 is not significant.

In addition, the Group has elected not to early adopt new standards, amendments and interpretations whose mandatory application is subsequent to June 30, 2020, whether or not they have been adopted by the European Union. The impact of these standards and amendments is currently being analyzed.

Use of estimates

As at December 31, 2019, the Group's Executive Committee used estimates in the preparation of the financial statements for the calculation:

  • of the market value of R&D programs acquired through business combinations (mergers and acquisitions) - see Note 5,
  • of share-based payments - see Note 9.4,
  • of pension commitments and provisions - see Note 10.1.1,
  • of the costs of future developments of belinostat under the licensing agreement with Acrotech - see note 10.3,
  • of the recognition in revenue of amounts received under licensing agreements - see Note 13.1,
  • of trade accounts payable provisioned at closing in connection with ongoing clinical trials,
  • of second quarter 2020 royalties from the partner Acrotech calculated on the basis of actual quantities sold evaluated on the basis of historical unit prices.

Business Continuity

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. This principle was adopted by the Board of Directors in view of the following elements: the company has a consolidated net cash position of €19.6 million at June 30, 2020, enabling it to finance its activities until the first quarter of 2022 on the basis of its financing plan.

Half-yearly financial report as of June 30, 2020

NOTE 2 - SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION

The Group includes Onxeo SA, which conducts most of its business in Paris and at its Danish facility in Copenhagen, and its subsidiaries listed below:

  • Onxeo US
  • Topotarget UK
  • Topotarget Switzerland

All subsidiaries are wholly-owned and fully consolidated.

During the first half of 2020, two companies were deconsolidated:

  • SpeBio, a 50%-owned joint venture, whose shares were sold at their nominal value,
  • BioAlliance Pharma Switzerland, 100% owned, which has been dissolved.

NOTE 3 - SEGMENT INFORMATION (IFRS 8)

The Group as a whole constitutes a single business segment. In accordance with IFRS 8.32 and 33, information on the breakdown of revenue by geographical area and by product portfolio is provided in note 13.1. In accordance with this standard, the Group's non-current assets are mainly located in France, Denmark and the United Kingdom.

The Group's main clients, which account for more than 10% of consolidated revenues, are Acrotech Biopharma and Clinigen.

NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF THE NEW AGREEMENT WITH ACROTECH BIOPHARMA

On April 6, 2020, Onxeo granted Acrotech a worldwide license to commercialize Beleodaq®, geographically complementing the license acquired by Acrotech in March 2019 from Spectrum Pharmaceuticals (SPPI) and limited to the United States, Canada, Mexico and India. This new contract also transfers to Acrotech certain patents and know-how relating to belinostat.

In consideration, Onxeo received upon signature a total amount of $6.6 million (€6.1 million) and will not receive any other revenue under the license agreement, other than royalties on sales necessary to ensure the repayment of the bond debt contracted in 2018 with SWK Holdings.

In addition, the Group will continue to contribute 10% of the development costs of Beleodaq® incurred by Acrotech.

The Group has analyzed the economic consequences for Onxeo of this agreement to determine the accounting treatment under IFRS.

4.1. Analysis of the transaction under IFRS

The new agreement crystallizes the revenue at the time of signing to the extent that the license becomes royalty free once the SWK loan is repaid. This means that Onxeo will no longer receive any economic benefits from Beleodaq® in the future. Although the transaction has a dual legal nature, both as a licensing agreement for Beleodaq® and as an agreement to sell certain independent assets related to the product, it therefore qualifies as a disposal in accordance with the provisions of IFRS.

4.2. Impact on the consolidated financial statements

Based on the above rationale, the impacts of the transaction are as follows:

  • Recognition in other non-recurring operating income of the transaction price of 6.1 million euros less the amount of future product development costs estimated at 0.4 million euros (see note 10.3), representing net income of 5.7 million euros (see note 13.4).
  • Recognition in other non-current operating income of royalties that the group expects to receive after the date of signature of the agreement and by means of which it will reimburse the balance of the SWK

ONXEO

Half-yearly financial report as of June 30, 2020

loan. Based on the financing plan drawn up by management, this income amounts to 7.2 million euros (see note 13.4).

  • Disposal of the R&D asset relating to Beleodaq® for a net value of 2.8 million euros, recognized in other non-current operating expenses (see notes 5 and 13.4).

Total impairment losses -61,561 59,561 -2,000
TOTAL 23,358 -56 -2,769 20,533

5.1. R&D assets

1.9 million of research and development costs incurred in the first half of 2020 were expensed for an amount of 1.9 million euros, including 1 million euros for staff expenses and 0.9 million euros for external costs and regulatory fees and taxes.

No significant new development costs have been incurred on products registered by the Company. Consequently, no development costs were capitalized during the period.

The Group has analyzed the impact of the license agreement signed with Acrotech Biopharma on April 6, 2020. This agreement implies that Onxeo will no longer benefit from any future revenues related to Beleodaq®/belinostat, apart from what is necessary to repay the SWK Holdings bond issue. As a result, R&D assets related to Beleodaq® have been treated as if they had been divested, resulting in a derecognition of these assets for a net value of 2,769 thousand euros.

5.2. Search for indications of impairment and impairment testing

The other R&D assets acquired as part of the acquisition of DNA Therapeutics, i.e. AsiDNA™, as well as goodwill are subject to impairment tests at least once a year in accordance with IAS 36.

As of June 30, 2020, no indication of impairment has been identified.

Rights to use assets accounted for in accordance with IFRS 16 mainly correspond to the lease of the head office and leases of laboratory equipment and vehicles. These rights of use will be amortized over the remaining term of the contracts.

The debenture loan granted by SWK Holdings shall be reimbursed by royalties paid by the partner Acrotech Biopharma on sales of Beleodaq® in the United States. As the future amount of these sales has not been disclosed by Acrotech, it is not possible to provide a breakdown by maturity of this debt.

Repayable advances were granted by Bpifrance and the Ile-de-France region (Innov'Up program) to finance the Company's R&D programs respectively AsiDNA™ and PlatON™.

Rental debts are recognized in accordance with IFRS 16, with the offsetting entry in the accounts of the rights of use of the buildings and movable assets leased by the Group.

10.3. Other non-current debts

Other non-current debts, amounting to 430 thousand euros, correspond to the future development costs of belinostat that will be borne by Onxeo pursuant to the license agreement with Acrotech. This amount has been estimated by management on the basis of scenarios with a probability of occurrence and will be re-evaluated at each closing. As the Group will no longer receive any revenues under this license agreement, other than what is required to repay the SWK holdings bond issue, this amount has been deducted from the amount received from Acrotech in April 2020 under the new agreement, which has been recorded as other non-recurring operating income.

Statutory auditors' review report on the half-yearly financial information

To the Shareholders,

In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your Annual General Meetings and in accordance with the requirements of Article L. 451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier), we hereby report to you on:

  • the review of the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements of Onxeo, for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2020,
  • the verification of the information presented in the half-yearly management report.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared under the responsibility of the Board of Directors on September 17, 2020, on the basis of the information available at that date in the evolving context of the Covid-19 crisis and difficulties in assessing its impact and future prospects. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.

1. Conclusion on the Financial Statements

We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. 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 conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France 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.

ONXEO


ONXEO

Half-yearly financial report as of June 30, 2020

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 - standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.

2. Specific verification

We have also verified the information presented in the interim management report established on September 8, 2020 on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements subject to our review.

We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
