LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

PREPARING FOR LAUNCH

Having been a member of the Board of Directors since 2012, I have seen Orphazyme blossom into what it is today. From very humble beginnings, based on a solid scientific foundation, Orphazyme is today a successful, publicly-traded biopharmaceutical company with a potential to bring transformational therapies to patients in need in several diseases.

Looking back at 2018, Orphazyme has delivered on its promises to its shareholders and has kept the momentum of the development pipeline. The Company continues to simultaneously conduct clinical studies in four indications with high unmet medical needs. In addition, Orphazyme continues to build on its long-term potential through its very innovative preclinical pipeline.

With the positive results from the Phase II/III trial in Niemann-Pick disease Type C (NPC), Orphazyme is hoping to bring the much-needed therapy to the NPC community as soon as possible. In order to secure the patients' access to arimoclomol, Orphazyme is planning to launch a commercial organization as soon as the regulatory authorities in the US and Europe

grant their approval to commercialize arimoclomol for the treatment of NPC. This organization will moreover create the foundation to build the commercial capabilities to launch the future indications of arimoclomol.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank the entire Management Team and every single employee in Orphazyme for their hard work and dedication. I am confident that 2019 will be as fruitful as 2018 and look forward to seeing the year unfold.

LETTER FROM THE CEO

REACHING MILESTONES

In 2018, we successfully completed our Phase II/III clinical trial in Niemann-Pick disease Type C (NPC), and we are now closer than ever to our goal of providing NPC patients with a much needed new treatment option. We enter our 10th anniversary year, 2019, with optimism and resolve, and look forward to entering into dialogue with the regulatory authorities in both the US and Europe on how to best and most expeditently bring arimoclomol to NPC patients.

Letter from the CEO | Orphazyme Annual Report 2018

7

2018 was a very important year for Orphazyme, with the initiation of two clinical trials and the successful completion of our Phase II/III clinical trial in Niemann-Pick disease Type C (NPC). For almost 10 years, we have been steadfast in our mission to develop a treatment option for patients suffering from this severely debilitating disease, and we are now closer than ever to achieving this goal. We are looking forward to 2019, during which we will start the preparations to bring arimoclomol to approval for NPC.

Orphazyme's listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen at the end of 2017 made it possible for us to pursue our ambition of becoming a leading biopharmaceutical company with a dedication to rare diseases. The proceeds from the Initial Public Offering allowed us to conduct clinical trials in three rare, debilitating diseases in addition to completing the Phase II/III trial in NPC. During 2018, we have added experienced and talented professionals to our organization, enabling us to drive our projects through clinical development towards regulatory approval and launch. Entering 2019, we are well-equipped to complete our journey and bring new medicine to NPC patients in great need of effective therapies.

NPC

NPC is a rare disease that affects both the physical and mental health of patients, who may become wheel-chair bound and experience severe deterioration of cognition, memory, and speech. The disease is fatal, with most patients not surviving into adulthood. Since the Company's inception nearly a decade ago, we have been working towards providing a treatment option for patients suffering from this terrible disease in close collaboration with patient organizations, expert scientists, and clinicians. We were therefore very pleased to report that arimoclomol put a

break on disease progression. After 12 months, patients receiving arimoclomol had a 74% reduction in disease progression compared to placebo control (p-value 0.0506) measured by the 5-domain NPC Clinical Severity Scale. Moreover, the full data set supported a positive effect of arimoclomol by showing statistically significant benefit in large predefined subgroups as well as a treatment effect on biomarkers. In 2019, we look forward to entering into dialogue with the regulatory authorities in both the US and Europe on how to best and most expeditiously bring arimoclomol to NPC patients.

2018 MILESTONES

In addition to presenting results from our NPC trial, we were able to deliver on several other important milestones in 2018, including receipt of a Rare Pediatric Disease Designation from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the NPC/arimoclomol program, the initiation of two clinical trials – a Phase III trial in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and a Phase II trial in Gaucher disease –, and the rollout of our clinical trial in sporadic Inclusion Body Myositis (sIBM) from one to 12 clinical trial sites.

THE YEAR AHEAD

Looking ahead, we expect a busy 2019, where we will start the preparations to bring arimoclomol to approval for NPC. Ten years in the making, this milestone is closer than ever: To provide NPC patients with a much needed treatment option. We therefore enter our 10th anniversary year with optimism and resolve about being able to deliver on our commitment to patients and caregivers, and enthusiastic about the future of our company.

In this industry there are no quiet days, and our team of talented and committed professionals continuously work hard to move us forward. I am grateful for their contributions as well as for the support of our shareholders. Thank you for taking this journey with us.

2019 Outlook | Orphazyme Annual Report 2018

2019 OUTLOOK

MDKK 2019 guidance 2018 actual result 2018 guidance
Operating loss (315) - (345) (232) (245) - (275)
Cash position at year-end >50 395 >350

OPERATING RESULT

The operating loss of DKK 231.6 million was below the expected operating loss range of DKK 245-275 million. The difference to the outlook for 2018 was mostly due to slower patient enrollment in our clinical trials. We anticipate that our 2019 operating loss will be in the range of DKK 315-345 million. This range reflects the inherent uncertainty related to the timing of patient enrollment and related operational uncertainties. The cost increase is driven by our preparation to submit a New Drug Application/Marketing Authorization Application for arimoclomol for NPC, advancement of arimoclomol for sIBM and ALS, production of arimoclomol, and an increase in employees to support our expanding clinical and operational activities.

CASH POSITION

At year-end 2019, we anticipate a cash position of DKK >50 million compared to DKK 394.7 million as of December 31, 2018.

RISKS AND ASSUMPTIONS

In addition to factors already mentioned, the estimates above are subject to change due to numerous reasons, including but not limited to the timing and variation of development activities.

For the financial year ending December 31, 2019, Orphazyme expects to incur substantial costs associated with clinical trials and filing activities. The objective of the development programs is to develop a pharmaceutical drug for the treatment of the following diseases: ALS, sIBM, NPC, and Gaucher disease.

The forecasting of costs associated with clinical trials relating to activities performed by Clinical Research Organizations (CROs) and other external vendors requires management to exercise significant estimates with regard to the timing and accounting for these costs. The

diverse nature of the services being provided by CROs and other arrangements, the different compensation arrangements that exist for each type of service, and the limitations in respect of information related to certain clinical activities add complexity to the estimation of accruals for services rendered by CROs and other vendors in connection with clinical trials. The filing activities for arimoclomol for NPC will be influenced by the regulatory feedback from the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The outlook for the financial year ending December 31, 2019 takes into consideration activities planned for 2019, including the trial designs for the respective indications and the filing activities as described on page 13, Product Pipeline.

Product Pipeline | Orphazyme Annual Report 2018

A = 11

Orphazyme's current clinical programs investigate arimoclomol as a treatment for four protein-misfolding indications: The protein-aggregation diseases Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and sporadic Inclusion Body Myositis (sIBM), and the lysosomal storage diseases Niemann-Pick disease Type C (NPC) and Gaucher disease. The new molecular entity (NME) program focuses on the development of new molecules as a treatment for relevant protein-misfolding diseases.

ARIMOCLOMOL & HEAT-SHOCK PROTEINS

Our technology is based on amplifying human cells' defense against protein aggregation and misfolding. This defense consists of a system of Heat-Shock Proteins (HSPs), which work by rescuing proteins from misfolding and aggregation. Orphazyme's lead compound, arimoclomol, works by increasing the body's own production of HSPs in cells experiencing stress or toxicity.

PROTEIN-AGGREGATION DISEASES

The pathology of protein-aggregation diseases ALS and sIBM involve the misfolding of proteins inside the cells and the formation of protein aggregates, impairing normal protein function. Protein aggregation can cause cell stress and eventually cell death. In ALS, the primary disease pathology is found in the nerve cells, which controls the muscles, leading to loss of muscle control, ability to move and eventually the loss of vital functions such as breathing. sIBM is characterized by the loss of muscle, primarily affecting the function of the limbs of patients, but also the loss of other muscle functions, such as swallowing.

LYSOSOMAL STORAGE DISEASES

Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs), such as NPC and Gaucher disease, are inherited metabolic disorders caused by a deficiency in the recycling machinery in the cells of the body. These deficiencies are often caused by mutations leading to protein misfolding. Lysosomes are located in the body's cells and are used to break down and recycle fats, proteins, and other large molecules. Loss of lysosomal enzyme activity due to misfolding and dysfunction prohibits the lysosomes from performing their normal function.

SPHINGOLIPIDOSES

Within the category of LSDs, is a group of lipid (fat) storage diseases called sphingolipidoses. These diseases are characterized by a disturbance of the metabolism of the sphingolipids inside the cells, resulting in build-up that disturbs cell function or leads to cell death. Sphingolipids are produced in many tissues, but especially nerve tissues, and sphingolipid diseases therefore very often affect the nervous system. Diseases in this group include NPC, Gaucher disease, Fabry disease, Krabbe disease, Tay-Sachs disease, and metachromatic leukodystrophy.

NEW MOLECULAR ENTITIES PROGRAM

Orphazyme is developing a new series of heat-shock protein (HSP) amplifying drugs based on its expertise and know-how about the convergences of HSPs, protein aggregation, and cellular recycling systems, and how these can be targeted for therapeutic benefit. As of today, Orphazyme has several leads that constitute potentially new intellectual property opportunities.

ALS

img-15.jpeg

THE DISEASE

The rare neuromuscular disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig's disease, is rapidly progressive and fatal, usually within two to five years.

The disease attacks the neurons responsible for controlling muscles leading to paralysis of all skeletal muscles, eventually also affecting breathing, speaking, and swallowing.

The cause of damage to the neurons includes protein misfolding and aggregation.

Familial and sporadic ALS

Approximately 10% of ALS cases are associated with familial ALS, while the rest have no identified genetic component (sporadic ALS). Amongst familial ALS cases, 20% harbor mutations in a SOD1 enzyme. SOD1 ALS is often very aggressive with a life expectancy of less than 2 years from diagnosis.

Arimoclomol has so far been tested in two Phase II ALS trials, one dose-ranging trial in sporadic ALS, and one trial in ALS caused by SOD1 mutations.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

There is currently very limited treatment options available to ALS patients, namely; Rilutek® (riluzole) which reduces the levels of the neurotransmitter glutamate, potentially slowing down the progression of ALS; and Radicava® (edaravone) which can act against the reactive oxygen species that may damage the nerve cells in ALS patients. A high unmet medical need remains for new therapies for ALS patients.

PREVALENCE

The incidence of ALS is estimated at between 1-3 per 100,000 individuals per year globally. The patient population in the US and Europe is estimated to be approximately 50,000 patients. In Japan, it is estimated that there are between 8,000-14,000 patients with ALS.

TRIAL STATUS

In August 2018, Orphazyme initiated the enrollment for a Phase III trial in the US and Europe to support the application for a marketing authorization in ALS. Interim analysis at 70% completion is expected in H2 2020 and the full analysis in H1 2021. The trial design and trial patient baseline characteristics were defined based on systematic analysis of data from the largest publicly available repository of ALS clinical trial data (PROACT) in conjunction with arimoclomol ALS trial data. A machine learning approach was used to model disease progression and thereby inform trial design and statistics. The primary endpoint is determined as a combined assessment of function and survival.

32 TRIAL SITES CURRENTLY OPEN

sIBM

img-16.jpeg

THE DISEASE

Sporadic Inclusion Body Myositis (sIBM) is an acquired, rare, and slowly-progressing protein-aggregation disease.

It is the most common muscle-wasting disorder in the elderly population and is characterized by progressive degeneration, weakness, and atrophy of muscles, especially of the arms and legs. sIBM patients experience impaired hand function as well as difficulty standing up and walking.

Some patients also have problems with swallowing (dysphagia) due to weakness of the throat muscles.

In most cases, the disease progresses relentlessly over 10-15 years until the affected patient has lost mobility entirely.

The cause of sIBM is not fully known, but degenerative factors, i.e. the build-up of tangled and misfolded proteins (inclusion bodies), play a major role.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

There is currently no approved drug for the treatment of sIBM. The standard treatment option for sIBM consists only of supportive therapy (physical, speech, and occupational therapy), and there is no evidence that any form of treatment slows progression.

PREVALENCE

The size of the patient population in the US and Europe is not fully known, but a 2017 publication estimated a patient population of approximately 24.8 and 45.6 per million or at least 17,000-31,000 individuals in the US and the major European countries¹.

TRIAL STATUS

A Phase II/III arimoclomol trial for sIBM was initiated in August 2017 in the US and Europe. The trial is intended to support a registration of arimoclomol for the treatment of sIBM. Interim analysis expected in H1 2020, with final trial results expected in H1 2021. The extension from 12 to 20 months for the primary analysis was chosen to maximize the chances of success, allowing for greater separation (and thereby increase the clinical meaningfulness of the treatment benefit) between treatment groups at 20 months.

NPC

img-18.jpeg

THE DISEASE

Niemann-Pick disease Type C (NPC) is a rare, inherited, progressive, and often fatal neurodegenerative disease.

NPC is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by genetic mutations that most often lead to misfolded variants of the NPC proteins.

Misfolded NPC protein does not function properly and is subject to rapid degradation. As a consequence, lipids, that would normally be cleared, build up in the lysosomes of cells throughout the body.

Accumulation of lipids in the tissues and organs, including the brain, leads to loss of cell function and organ damage.

Neurologic involvement is common and results in progressive motor and cognitive impairment.

NPC is caused by mutations on one of two genes, NPC1 or NPC2. Approximately 95% of individuals with the disease have mutations in NPC1.

img-19.jpeg

TREATMENT OPTIONS

The majority of current treatment options are palliative and are only directed towards the specific symptoms apparent in each individual (e.g. prescription of anti-seizure medications to prevent seizures).

Only one drug, Zavesca® (miglustat), is currently marketed for NPC and only in certain jurisdictions. The product may reduce progression of disease in some patients, but there is still a very large unmet need for new therapy in NPC.

PREVALENCE

NPC often appears in childhood but can appear at any age. The incidence of the disease is estimated to be 1 in 120,000 births and it is estimated that the NPC patient population is between 1,000-2,000 in the US and Europe.

TRIAL STATUS

Arimoclomol is currently being tested in a clinical Phase II/III trial as a potential treatment for NPC. Positive results from the full data set were reported in January 2019, showing a reduction in disease progression of 74% after 12 months compared to placebo control. The open-label extension of the trial is still on-going and is intended to assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of treatment with arimoclomol beyond the 12-month randomized trial.

Orphazyme is to engage with the regulatory authorities in the US and Europe to discuss the best path forward to approval. We expect submission of filing in H1 2020, with a potential approval in H2 2020.

GAUCHER DISEASE

img-20.jpeg

THE DISEASE

Gaucher disease is an inherited metabolic disorder caused by mutations in a protein called glucocerebrosidase, which leads to the accumulation of certain sugar-containing lipids.

The usual symptoms of Gaucher disease include an abnormally enlarged liver and/or spleen (hepatosplenomegaly), low levels of circulating red blood cells (anemia), blood cells promoting clotting (thrombocytopenia), and skeletal abnormalities.

Disease of the nervous system is observed in a significant subpopulation of Gaucher disease (neuropathic Gaucher).

There are three types of Gaucher disease, type II being the most severe.

img-21.jpeg

TREATMENT OPTIONS

Two types of treatment are currently available for patients with Gaucher disease: Enzyme-replacement therapy and substrate reduction therapy. None of these are useful in the treatment of neuropathic Gaucher disease.

PREVALENCE

The total number of Gaucher patients in the US and Europe is conservatively estimated at 10,000-15,000 individuals. Of the total market, Orphazyme focuses on the 10-30% with neuropathic Gaucher disease, where no treatments are available today.

TRIAL STATUS

A Phase II clinical trial of arimoclomol in Gaucher disease was initiated in Q2 2018. Results are expected in H2 2019.

PATIENT FOCUS

img-24.jpeg

WORKING WITH PATIENT ORGANIZATIONS

At the heart of Orphazyme's work to bring innovative therapies to patients with rare and serious diseases are our partnerships with community leaders and non-profit organizations. People living with rare disorders and their families are the authorities on these diseases and we rely on their expertise to inform our actions. In 2018, we took several steps to strengthen our partnerships with patient communities:

  • Hired an Associate Director of Patient Advocacy Relations to formalize an advocacy program built on the foundation of Orphazyme's longstanding commitment to collaboration with patient communities
  • Made strategic financial investments to encourage the success of rare disease non-profit organizations
  • Attended 11 meetings hosted by patient organizations to engage with and learn from individuals and families living with the diseases we aim to treat
  • Met personally with nearly 30 organizations over the course of the year and delivered numerous presentations to patient audiences to ensure information about Orphazyme's clinical programs is available and understood
  • Formally endorsed consensus guidelines developed to enhance appropriate interactions between industry and rare disease patient advocacy organizations

> The IGA's vision is a world where all Gaucher patients have access to the treatment and care they need and where there is a possibility of a cure. Despite being 28 years on from the introduction of the first treatment for Gaucher disease patients, there are still unmet needs, both clinical and accessibility. The IGA has been a partner with Orphazyme from the very early stages of their clinical development program and we look forward to the potential that this therapy could bring to target the unmet need of the neurological patient community.

Toni Mathieson

Chief Executive, Niemann-Pick UK (NPUK)

> Collaboration between industry, patient groups, and other stakeholders is essential in bringing new therapies to patients.

Financial Review | Orphazyme Annual Report 2018

f

FINANCIAL REVIEW

INCOME STATEMENT

The net result for the financial year 2018 was a loss of DKK 229.6 million compared to DKK 126.2 million in 2017. The increase is primarily due to increased research and development activities, the hiring of new employees, as well as production of arimoclomol.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Research and development expenses totaled DKK 196.5 million in 2018 compared to DKK 99.0 million in 2017. The increase was mainly due to the on-going NPC trial, the ramp-up of the sIBM Phase II/III trial, the initiation of the Phase II trial for Gaucher disease in June, and the initiation of the Phase III trial for ALS in August. These expanded clinical trial activities also increased related clinical development costs, including an increase in the manufacturing of the drug substance arimoclomol for the clinical trials, as well the hiring of new employees to support our expanding clinical development activities.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses totaled DKK 35.1 million in 2018 compared to DKK 32.0 million in 2017. The increase is mainly due to increased employee costs, the initiation of pre-commercial activities as well as increased investor relations activities. Furthermore, the costs are also impacted by the hiring of new members of management and additional staff to some functions in-house. In 2017, IPO-related costs accounted for a significant part of the general and administrative expenses.

NET FINANCIAL ITEMS

Net financials totaled an expense of DKK 3.5 million in 2018 compared to an income of DKK 0.7 million in 2017. Financial income primarily reflects exchange rate gains. Financial expenses primarily cover interest expenses on bank accounts, exchange rate losses, and bank fees.

INCOME TAX BENEFIT

Income tax benefit totaled DKK 5.5 million in 2018 compared to DKK 5.5 million in 2017. The Income tax benefit for the two years represents a tax credit for research and development expenses at the applicable tax rate under the Danish Corporate Income Tax Act.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

Cash

As of December 31, 2018, Orphazyme had cash DKK 394.7 million compared to DKK 631.7 million as of December 31, 2017. The decrease in cash results from the increase in research and development spend, as described above.

Equity

As of December 31, 2018, equity amounted to DKK 388.3 million compared with DKK 615.7 million as of December 31, 2017. The decrease mainly reflects the financial result for the year.

RISK MANAGEMENT

RISKS THAT THREATEN THE ACHIEVEMENT OF OUR KEY OBJECTIVES

Key objective Risks that threaten the achievement of our key objectives Our actions to mitigate the risks
To successfully conduct and complete the on-going clinical trials of arimoclomol for the treatment of sIBM, ALS, NPC, and Gaucher disease. Designing and conducting clinical trials is complex, costly, and time-consuming and the results are unpredictable. There is a risk that no matter how well-designed and diligent our preparation has been, the clinical trial results will not demonstrate sufficient evidence of safety and efficacy to ensure the requisite regulatory approvals are granted. If we are not able to successfully conduct and complete on-going and planned clinical trials, we will not be able to obtain regulatory approvals to commercialize any pharmaceutical products. We make every effort to design and plan our clinical trials in the most diligent manner. We partner with professional organizations to conduct our clinical trials and we conduct inspections and internal quality audits to maximize quality, safety, and efficacy. We maintain frequent interactions with regulatory authorities to ensure that we are moving in the right direction to advance our programs towards approval in the most expedient manner.
To develop our commercialization strategy and build commercial structure and operations. We face competition from other life science companies developing treatments for similar diseases, and as the potential market for our pharmaceutical products is not so vast, competing products may gain wider acceptance within the market and could render our products obsolete or limit our ability to generate revenues. An important dimension to our commercialization is the ability to obtain and maintain orphan designation/status, which will provide us with marketing exclusivity. Finally, a lack of in-house commercialization capabilities, including sales and marketing expertise, can threaten our product roll-out. In anticipation of positive feedback from discussions with regulatory authorities and eventual authorizations, we are refining and finalizing our commercialization strategy. Currently our commercial structure and operations are focused on NPC and on building out an expandable organization as our arimoclomol development program progresses. During 2018 we established a subsidiary in the Boston area in the U.S. with the intent to drive commercialization activities out of there. We have been performing market assessments and working with patient organizations to identify Outside of our key markets being Europe and the U.S., we currently intend to partner with local or regional distributors or license partners to make our products widely available.
To use our expertise, including proprietary know-how, to select and develop new molecular entities (NMEs) for other protein-misfolding diseases. To a large extent, our success depends on our ability to obtain and maintain patents and other intellectual property rights for our products. Our IP is the basis for our current products and any potential new leads, and thus any threats to our IP rights could be detrimental to our future pipeline of product candidates. We are developing a suite of new molecular entities (NMEs) with improved characteristics. We have attracted highly talented resources to continue to develop and explore new leads. In addition, we are consistently monitoring our IP in order to not only protect our rights and minimize legal claims, but also strengthen our rights and current technology platform. We believe that our patent portfolio has a wide scope of protection and geographical coverage.

Risk Management | Orphazyme Annual Report 2018

24

In addition to risks threatening the achievement of our key objectives, we are exposed to pervasive risks that threaten our business.

PERVASIVE RISKS THAT THREATEN OUR BUSINESS

Pervasive risk How the risk threatens our business Our actions to mitigate the risks
Lack of funding In order to execute our strategy, we may need to raise additional capital and additional funding may not be available on favorable terms. If we are not able to obtain timely financing, it may cause a delay in our clinical trials, filing activities, commercialization activities, or other critical activities. With the current capital resources, we expect to be able to fund our operating plans through our planned filing activities. If needed, we are prepared to raise additional funds, obtain debt financing, or seek partnerships or other financing arrangements in order to have adequate funds at our disposal to be able to complete all development and preparation of commercialization activities, while at the same time pursuing filing and registration activities.
Data privacy concerns and cybersecurity breaches We possess sensitive personal data, including information from clinical trials and other health data. We are subject to data protection laws, privacy requirements, and other regulatory restrictions in which we operate. Any failure, on our part, to comply with these requirements could result in penalties, fines, or suspension of our approvals or registrations. Also, cybersecurity attacks on our servers, databases, or information systems could compromise the privacy of our data or cause interruption to our operations. We have adopted new procedures in order to comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation. Our IT-security level is being scrutinized and new procedures are being implemented in order to reduce the risk of cybercrime. We have set up a special IT Working Group to monitor security as part of the validation of systems and programs used in performing our work.
Non-compliance with legislation and industry standards In all stages and phases of our operations we are subject to regulatory and legislative obligations in order to conduct business. Regulatory and legislative requirements are subject to change and if we do not remain abreast of the regulations and actively work to comply, we are at risk of either losing or not obtaining required approvals in order to implement our business strategy. Our organization has increased regulatory resources to allow adequate time to interact with regulators and actively monitor the current regulatory environment and ensure our compliance. Our focus in the coming year is on preparations for filing for regulatory approval and therefore compliance is a focus area. We have internal training requirements for all employees and when entering into contracts with external suppliers, we ensure they have an adequate level of measures in place to comply with relevant regulatory requirements.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

As a biopharmaceutical company, we are aware of our responsibilities towards society, patients, stakeholders, and employees and we believe that our corporate behavior should always be of the highest ethical standard. When conducting our business, we strive to demonstrate respect for key moral principles and comply with international regulations and good practice guidelines to make sure that our product is safe and meets strict quality guidelines. As most of our business activities are outsourced, we work closely with our partners to ensure compliance with these regulations and guidelines.

We believe that our ethical behavior strengthens Orphazyme's status as an attractive workplace for both current and future employees.

Diversity Policy

BUSINESS MODEL

Orphazyme is a Danish biopharmaceutical company with approximately 65 employees. The office in Copenhagen serves as headquarters and focuses on coordination and execution of the drug development process and on administration of pre-clinical and clinical trials.

The key activity of Orphazyme is to develop treatments for rare, or orphan, diseases with protein misfolding where it can apply its specialized know-how in heat-shock proteins (HSPs). Our objective is to successfully conduct and complete the planned and

on-going trials of arimoclomol for the treatment of protein-aggregation diseases, sporadic Inclusion Body Myositis (sIBM) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and the lysosomal storage diseases, Niemann Pick disease Type C (NPC) and Gaucher disease. We use external suppliers in order to both manufacture and tabletize the medicine, as well as for distribution.

RISK ANALYSIS

Risk is defined as the potential negative effect that can be experienced by the business or any of Orphazyme's stakeholders. Risk is seen as a combination between impact and likelihood of any given subject. Orphazyme's potential risk of impacting social and employee conditions, human rights and anti-corruption is estimated to be limited, mainly due to the strictly regulated business environment the company operates in. Orphazyme's potential risk of impacting the environment and climate is estimated to be very limited mainly as a result of the modest number of employees and the use of external suppliers for all production. Orphazyme has prepared a policy for social and employee conditions, human rights and anti-corruption. Insofar as a specific risk has been identified in any of these areas, it will be addressed by the relevant policy.

CSR REPORTING AREAS

ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE

Orphazyme does not have Environment or Climate policies. The Company acknowledges the challenges linked to climate change, and as a result Orphazyme operates an office focused on efficient management of office materials. However, based on the fact that the Company is operating from rented offices and conducts its business in a highly regulated industry and climate, Orphazyme's potential impact on the environment and climate is viewed as minimal. As a result, specific Environment and Climate policies have not been developed at this time.

SOCIAL AND STAFF MATTERS

Group Financial Statements | Orphazyme Annual Report 2018

SECTION 1 - BASIS OF PREPARATION

Section 1 provides a summary of the significant accounting policies applied by the Group, Management's key accounting estimates and judgements, and new IFRS standards applicable to the Group. A detailed description of accounting policies and key accounting estimates and judgements related to specific financial statement line items is presented in each note to the relevant line item.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and in accordance with IFRS as endorsed by the EU as well as additional disclosure requirements under the Danish Financial Statements Act. The consolidated financial statements of Orphazyme A/S for the year ended December 31, 2018 were approved by the Board of Directors on March 1, 2019 and will be submitted to the shareholders of Orphazyme A/S for approval at the Annual General Meeting to be held on March 27, 2019.

1.1 CORPORATE INFORMATION

Orphazyme A/S (the "Company") is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Denmark. The registered office is located in Copenhagen, Denmark. On November 16, 2017, the Company successfully completed its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on Nasdaq Copenhagen by issuing 7,500,000 new ordinary shares for gross proceeds of TDKK 600,000.

In April 2018, a fully-owned subsidiary, Orphazyme US, Inc., was incorporated in Massachusetts, USA (together with Orphazyme A/S, "Orphazyme" or the "Group"). Orphazyme US, Inc. will directly support the US market to establish closer relationships with the medical, patient, and financial communities as Orphazyme expands its development programs and global reach.

1.2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for share-based compensation, which is measured at fair value.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Danish Kroner, or DKK, which is both the functional and presentation currency of the Parent Company. Where indicated, amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand, or TDKK. The functional currency of Orphazyme US, Inc. is the US dollar (USD).

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group include the financial statements of the parent company, Orphazyme A/S (the "Parent Company") and Orphazyme US, Inc., a fully-owned subsidiary over which the Parent Company has control. A company controls an entity when the company (i) is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity, (ii) has power over the entity (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the activities of the entity), and (iii) has the ability to use its power to affect the returns of the entity.

The Parent Company re-assesses whether or not it controls an entity if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of an entity begins when the Parent Company obtains control and ceases when the Parent Company has lost control of the entity.

Orphazyme US, Inc. has adopted the accounting policies of the Parent Company and therefore the Group's consolidated financial statements have been prepared by combining similar accounting items on a line-by-line basis. On consolidation, intercompany income and expenses, intercompany receivables, and payables, and unrealized gains and losses on transactions between the consolidated companies are eliminated.


Group Financial Statements | Orphazyme Annual Report 2018

A = II

Translation of foreign currencies

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Orphazyme entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates, or functional currency. On initial recognition, transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange spot rate at the transaction date. For monetary assets and liabilities, differences arising between the foreign exchange spot rates at the transaction date and the date of settlement or period-end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss as financial income or financial expenses.

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of Orphazyme US, Inc are translated from USD to DKK at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income is translated from USD to DKK at the date of the underlying transaction or average exchange rate of the period if there are no significant fluctuations in exchange rate throughout the period. The exchange rate differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

Segment information

Although Orphazyme established a US subsidiary in 2018, the Group is managed and operated as one business unit that is reflected in the internal reporting. No separate lines of business or separate business entities have been identified with respect to any product candidate or geographical market and no segment information is currently disclosed in the Group's internal reporting. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Group generated no revenue and all non-current assets were located in Denmark.

1.3 KEY ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The use of reasonable estimates and judgements is an essential part of the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Given the uncertainties inherent in the Group's business activities, Management must make certain key accounting estimates and judgements, which affect the application of accounting policies and therefore the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The key accounting estimates and judgements identified are those that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the consolidated financial statements.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience, assumptions, and information currently available and deemed to be reasonable at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. However, actual amounts may differ from the estimated amounts as more detailed information becomes available. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and, if necessary, changes are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised. Management has made key accounting estimates and judgements in the following areas:

  • Key estimate of research and development expenses associated with clinical trials (Note 2.1) and related prepayments (Note 3.3) and accruals (Note 3.4)
  • Key estimate of inputs and assumptions used in share-based compensation valuation models (Note 2.5)
  • Key estimate of the fair value of licenses (Note 3.1)
  • Key judgement regarding IPO and IPO-related costs in 2017 (Note 2.3)
  • Key judgement regarding the recognition of deferred tax assets related to taxable losses to be carried forward (Note 2.7)

Please refer to the specific referenced notes for further information on the key accounting estimates and judgements as well as assumptions applied.

1.4 NEW IFRS STANDARDS APPLICABLE TO THE GROUP

On January 1, 2018, the Group adopted IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, which did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. In addition, there have been amendments to IFRS 2, Share-Based Payment, which the Group adopted, but did not have any impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation, or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, was effective on January 1, 2018, however, as the Group does not generate revenue, the standard is not applicable at this time.

Standards issued but not yet effective

The standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Group's consolidated financial statements are disclosed below. Only the standards and interpretations that are expected to have an impact on the Group's financial position, performance, and/or disclosures are listed. The Group intends to adopt these standards, as applicable, when they become effective.

IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016 and replaces IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases-Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. IFRS 16 is


Group Financial Statements | Orphazyme Annual Report 2018

50

1.4 NEW IFRS STANDARDS APPLICABLE TO THE GROUP (CONTINUED)

effective on January 1, 2019 and sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model, similar to the accounting for finance leases under IAS 17. The Group will adopt the new standard on the required effective date by using the modified retrospective approach, meaning that comparative information is not restated. The cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 will be presented as an adjustment to opening accumulated deficit in equity.

The change in lease accounting requires capitalization of the Group's right to use assets (i.e. the property lease of the headquarters in Copenhagen). Assuming that no new leases are entered into and no amendments to existing leases are made, upon implementation of IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019 the Group is expected to recognize a lease liability of approximately TDKK 13,006 and a corresponding asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. The expected accumulated effect on total assets at January 1, 2019 approximates TDKK 13,006, and there will be no effect on equity. Following the implementation, the Group will separately recognize interest expense on the lease liability and depreciation on the right to use asset. The Group's Statement of Profit or Loss for 2019 is expected to be impacted as follows: Operating loss will decrease by approximately TDKK 98, financial expenses will increase by approximately TDKK 398 and net loss before tax and net loss for the year will increase by approximately TDKK 300.

IFRIC Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment

The Interpretation addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application of IAS 12 Income Taxes and does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of IAS 12, nor does it specifically include requirements relating to interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments.

The Interpretation specifically addresses the following:

  • Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately
  • The assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities
  • How an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates
  • How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances

An entity has to determine whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or together with one or more other uncertain tax treatments. The approach that better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty should be followed. The interpretation is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, but certain transition reliefs are available. The adoption of this Interpretation will not have a significant effect on the Group.

SECTION 2 - RESULT OF THE YEAR

Section 2 presents details related to Orphazyme's Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, including Research and Development expenses and General and Administrative expenses, Government Grants, Employee costs and Share-based Compensation costs. The Group does not yet generate revenue. In addition, this section comprises Financial Income, Financial Expenses, and Income Taxes.

2.1 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Research expenses comprise costs incurred during the very early stages of the drug development cycle from initial drug discovery until the drug is ready for administration to humans. The activities initially focus on identifying a single drug candidate with a profile that will support a decision to initiate development activities. Before selection of the final drug candidate, it is tested in animals to gather efficacy, toxicity and pharmacokinetic information.

Development expenses comprise costs incurred during the different phases of clinical drug development starting in phase 1, when the drug is administered to humans for the first time, through phases 2 and 3, and subsequent activities to obtain marketing authorizations, which will permit Orphazyme to eventually market and sell the drug products.

In line with industry practice, Orphazyme expenses all research costs. Development costs that do not meet the definition of an asset are also expensed as incurred. Due to regulatory and other uncertainties inherent in the development of new products, development costs do not qualify for capitalization as intangible assets until marketing approval by a regulatory authority is obtained or highly probable.

Clinical trial costs are a significant component of research and development expenses. The Company's clinical trials are performed by third-party Clinical Research Organizations (CROs) and in order to estimate the amount of costs to charge to expense Management has developed expense models for each clinical trial based on estimates and assumptions.

The clinical trials generally have three distinctive stages plus pass-through costs:

  • Start-up stage: initial setting up of the trial
  • Treatment stage: site and trial management during the dosing period
  • Wrap-up stage: close down and reporting of the trial

For each clinical trial for which actual services delivered by the CRO are not provided on a regular current basis, the Company reviews the approved budgets for the clinical trial from the original executed agreements and categorizes the individual costs according to the three stages described above. The start-up activities, which include site recruitment, regulatory applications and investigator meetings, usually are performed reasonably uniformly throughout the start-up stage and the related costs are expensed ratably over this stage, which reflects the manner in which related services are performed by the CRO. The start-up stage is followed by the treatment stage, during which patients are dosed with the drug under study and results are monitored and measured. The costs incurred in this stage of the


Group Financial Statements | Orphazyme Annual Report 2018

2.1 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS (CONTINUED)

trial, which comprises the major portion of the total cost of the clinical trial, is mainly driven by the number of enrolled patients undergoing treatment. The Company estimates the costs attributable to activities performed in this stage of the trial on a per-patient basis. These costs are expensed over the treatment stage as patients are enrolled and undergo treatment, as reported by the CRO. After the last patient has been treated, the trial begins to be closed down and activities are performed related to data quality assurance and analysis. These activities are performed reasonably uniformly throughout the wrap-up stage and are expensed ratably over this last stage. Other costs, such as central laboratory costs and drug supply costs, are expensed as incurred, which is typically when the service has been performed or the goods delivered.

CROs invoice the Company upon the occurrence of predetermined milestones (such as the enrollment of patients); however, the timing of these invoices and the Company's related payments often do not correspond directly to the level of performance of contracted activities. To the extent payments are made by the Company in advance of the related activities performed by the CROs, they are included in prepayments to vendors (see Note 3.3) and expensed in accordance with the expense model discussed above. To the extent that the payments are made by the Company following the performance of the related activities, the

expense is reflected as an accrual (see Note 3.4) in accordance with the expense model.

Key estimate of research and development expenses associated with clinical trials

Accounting for clinical trial costs related to activities performed by Clinical Research Organizations (CROs) and other external vendors requires Management to exercise judgment in making significant estimates in regard to the timing of the expense recognition of these costs. The diverse nature of services being provided by CROs, the different compensation arrangements that exist for each type of service, and the limitation in the availability of information related to when certain clinical activities are performed add complexity to the estimation of the timing of expense recognition for services rendered by CROs and other vendors in connection with clinical trials.

Research and development expenses include costs arising from research and clinical development activities including employee costs for research and development personnel (i.e. salaries, bonuses, employer contributions to pension schemes, share-based compensation), legal expenses related to the protection, defense and enforcement of the Company's intellectual property, as well as rent expense associated with facilities used for research and development purposes.

The following table presents Research and Development expenses recognized for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

Research and development costs
2018 TDKK 2017 TDKK
External costs 152,820 71,169
Employee costs (Note 2.4) 40,281 25,648
Facility costs 2,132 1,492
Depreciation and amortization (Notes 3.3 and 3.4) 1,292 739
Total Research and Development Expenses 196,525 99,048

2.2 GOVERNMENT GRANTS

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the funding will be received and all underlying conditions will be fulfilled. Income from grants is recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss as a reduction of the related expenses being reimbursed in the period when the related expenses are incurred.

Government grants comprise research funding from the Danish government and the European Union. The grants received by Orphazyme provide reimbursement for certain project-specific research and development expenses, including wages and salaries.

2.1 GOVERNMENT GRANTS (CONTINUED)

During the year ended December 31, 2018, Orphazyme has received TDKK 2.126 (2017: TDKK 5.307) in government grant funding, which has been recognized as a reduction of research and development expenses. As of the year ended December 31, 2018, the total amount still receivable under these grants is TDKK 1.237 (2017: TDKK 512) and is classified as Current Other Receivables in the Statement of Financial Position, as all remaining funding from grants is receivable within the next year (Note 3.3).

One grant has been paid to Orphazyme in advance and income in the amount of TDKK 299 (2017: TDKK 520) related to this grant has been deferred and presented in the Statement of Financial Position as current other liabilities (Note 3.4).

All the grants received are subject to repayment clauses upon breach of conditions to maintain the terms under which the grant was awarded. Orphazyme has complied with and anticipates continuing to fully comply with all such terms.

2.3 GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General and administrative expenses include salaries for administrative employees and Executive Management, remuneration to the Board of Directors, share-based compensation costs, rent associated with facilities not used for research and development purposes, investor relations, and costs incurred in connection with the Company's Initial Public Offering on Nasdaq Copenhagen in November 2017, which have not been set off against equity. In addition, we have commenced pre-commercial activities during 2018, including the establishment of our U.S. subsidiary. These pre-commercial activities include the creation of an Early Access Program for NPC, tradename costs, market and pricing studies and related costs.

The following table presents general and administrative costs for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

2018 TDKK 2017 TDKK
External costs 12,471 8,445

Depreciation (Note 3.2) 74 7
Total general and administrative expenses 35,127 31,994

Key judgement regarding IPO and IPO-related costs in 2017

IPO and IPO-related costs are costs that have been incurred in connection with the Company's Initial Public Offering on Nasdaq Copenhagen in November 2017 and mainly cover fees to bookrunners, banks, and advisors. Certain costs related to preparing the prospectus and issuing new shares have been charged to equity based on the percentage of the newly issued shares at the IPO. The remaining costs have been charged to expense as incurred. Costs relating to support activities in connection with the IPO such as legal work in connection with incentive programs, conversion of the Company to an A/S, financial assistance, and similar costs have been expensed as incurred.

2.4 EMPLOYEE COSTS

4 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Employee costs primarily comprise salaries, bonuses, social security contributions, share-based compensation, vacation and sick leave as well as pension contributions. The cost of these benefits is recognized as an expense as services are received. All employee pension plans are defined contribution plans and not defined benefit plans.

Executive Management consists of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. Executive Management is also identical to the registered management of the Company.

The Executive Management is eligible to receive an annual performance-based cash bonus subject to certain predefined corporate and individual goals as determined by the Board of Directors on an annual basis. These predefined goals may include financial and/or operational targets, e.g. related to financing, working capital needs, organizational development as well as preclinical and clinical development. A cash bonus received under this short-term incentive programs may not exceed 100% of the annual fixed salary of the participants. For the financial year 2018, the Company expensed TDKK 1,173 (2017: TDKK 1,507) for cash bonuses and 0 (2017: TDKK 351) for IPO bonuses for the Executive Management.

Employees are subject to a discretionary bonus subject to certain predefined and individual goals as determined by the Board of Directors. For the financial year, the Company expensed TDKK 2,243 for cash bonuses to employees. In connection with the completion of the IPO on Nasdaq Copenhagen in November 2017, all employees of Orphazyme (including the Executive Management) received a cash bonus corresponding to 10% of their respective annual base salaries (excluding pension contributions).

The following table presents Employee Costs for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

2.5 SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION COSTS

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Equity-settled awards

Warrants granted prior to the IPO and the long-term incentive program ("LTIP") are equity-settled awards. The fair value of these awards is determined at the date of grant, resulting in a fixed fair value at grant date that is not adjusted for future changes in the fair value of the awards that may occur over the service period. Fair value of warrants granted prior to the IPO has been determined using the Black-Scholes model. Fair value of the LTIP awards granted after the IPO has been determined using the Monte-Carlo model. Further details of the valuation models are presented below.

The fair value of equity-settled awards with service conditions and non-market performance conditions is recognized as compensation expense pro rata over the service period to the extent such awards are estimated to vest. The compensation expense is recognized together with a corresponding increase in equity over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled. The cumulative expense for the Group's share-based compensation awards recognized at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and Management's best estimate of the number of instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the Statement of Profit or Loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period.

In the event that equity instruments are granted conditionally upon an equal number of equity instruments granted in prior periods not being exercised, they are treated as a new grant for the current period and a modification of the equity instruments granted in the prior period.

When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the grant date fair value of the unmodified award, provided that the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense, measured as at the date of modification, is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee. Where an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining fair value of the award is expensed immediately in the Statement of Profit or Loss.

Cash-settled awards

The phantom share-based incentive program established by the Group in June 2018 is cash-settled. A liability is recognized for the fair value of these awards, which is measured initially and at each reporting date up to and including the settlement date, with changes recognized at each reporting date. The fair value is expensed over the period until vesting date with recognition of a corresponding liability. The fair value is determined using the Monte-Carlo model, further details of which are presented below. The fair value of the cash-settled awards, which vest subject to obtaining a specified share price (i.e. market condition), is reported as compensation expense regardless of whether the share price condition is met if all other vesting conditions are met. For these awards, fair value is determined taking into account the probability of meeting the share price target. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest.

2.5 SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION COSTS (CONTINUED)

Key estimate of inputs and assumptions used in share-based compensation valuation models

Estimating the fair value of the Group's share-based compensation programs requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which depends on the terms and conditions of the respective award. This estimate also requires making assumptions to determine the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model, including the expected life of the award, expected volatility, dividend pay-out ratio, and risk-free interest rate.

Employees and Executive Management of the Group receive remuneration in the form of both equity-settled and cash-settled awards.

Pre-IPO Warrants (equity-settled)

In 2017 and prior to the IPO, without cancelling or modifying former warrant programs, the Company issued 551,573 warrants under a new warrant program for which a mechanism was put in place to ensure that the respective warrant holders can only exercise warrants from either the former programs or the new program. Orphazyme therefore had multiple warrant programs that ran in parallel. The exercise price of the new warrants was DKK 1.

The expense recognized by the Company for warrant programs running in parallel and where

Management believes that both programs will vest was determined based on (i) the grant date fair value of the former programs under the original vesting terms, plus (ii) the incremental fair value of the new warrant program, as at the grant date (being the fair value of the new programs less the fair value of the former programs at that date), over the vesting terms of the new program. In addition, prior to the IPO, Orphazyme issued 279,019 warrants of which 130,541 warrants were exercisable subject to completion of an IPO. These warrants vested gradually over 4 years subject to continued employment or upon an IPO or a change in control event. The fair value of these warrants granted amounted to TDKK 52 and Management determined that the incremental value was insignificant, and no expense was recognized. Consequently, all these warrants vested upon the completion of the IPO in November 2017.

The table below summarizes the activity related to the pre-IPO warrants for the years ended December 31, 2017. All warrants outstanding were exercised in November 2017 upon completion of the IPO and therefore there was no activity in 2018 related to these pre-IPO warrants. The average share price upon exercise was DKK 80.

Post-IPO long-term incentive program (equity settled)

In connection with the completion of the IPO on Nasdaq Copenhagen in November 2017, the Executive Management and Key Employees were offered to subscribe for Offer Shares ("Investment Shares") at the Offer Price for a maximum amount corresponding to approximately 15% (CMO) and 20% (CEO, CFO, and CSO) of their respective current annual base salaries.

Under the post-IPO long-term incentive program (LTIP), the Executive Management as well as certain Key Employees of Orphazyme have subscribed to 14,875 ordinary shares ("Investment Shares") at the offer price of DKK 80. In April 2018, a Key Employee subscribed to 4,300 Investment Shares at the then-current market price of DKK 67.5. The Board of Directors may decide to offer other current or new employees of Orphazyme participation in the LTIP.


Group Financial Statements | Orphazyme Annual Report 2018

2.5 SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION COSTS (CONTINUED)

The participants in the LTIP may be allocated a number of shares in Orphazyme ("Performance Shares") at a price per Performance Share of DKK 1 at the end of a vesting period of four years from Orphazyme's first day of trading and official listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen. The number of Performance Shares shall be proportional to the potential increase in the price of Orphazyme's shares at the time of exercise compared to the offer price. The potential increase in the price of Orphazyme's shares will be calculated as the volume-weighted average share price as quoted on Nasdaq Copenhagen during the 10 trading days preceding the vesting date. The maximum allocation of Performance Shares will be six shares for the CEO and four shares for the other participants multiplied by the number of Investment Shares subscribed for in connection with the IPO. Performance Shares will be allocated on a linear scale with maximum allocation triggered by an 80% increase in share price, whereas no Performance Shares will be allocated if the price of

Orphazyme's shares has increased 20% or less at the end of the vesting period. Among other things, vesting is also subject to the participants having maintained ownership of their Investment Shares and continued employment. Based on the number of Investment Shares subscribed for, a total maximum of 86,700 Performance Shares may be issued at the end of the vesting period.

In addition, subject to Board approval, the participants may also be allocated a number of shares in Orphazyme ("Matching Shares") at a price per Matching Share of DKK 1 in connection with the first anniversary of the subscription date of the Investment Shares. The number of Matching Shares shall be equal to the number of Investment Shares subscribed for and vesting will be subject to the participants having maintained ownership of their Investment Shares and continued employment during the one-year vesting period. Based on the number of Investment Shares subscribed for, a total of 14,875 Matching Shares may be issued at the end of the vesting period in November 2018. As of December 31, 2018, those Matching Shares had vested in full but had not yet been issued to the participants. The remaining Matching Shares are expected to vest in April 2019.

The fair value of the LTIP upon the introduction of the plan was estimated at approximately TDKK 3,895 and the fair value of the LTIP awards granted in April 2018 was estimated at approximately TDKK 714. Fair value was estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation model at the respective grant dates, considering the terms and conditions on which the awards were granted and the following inputs:

Grant Date Apr 10, 2018 Nov 21, 2017
Fair value at the measurement date (TDKK) 714 3,895
Dividen yield (%) 0 0
Expected volatility (%) 41.8 % 44.6 %
Risk-free interest rate (%) (0.28 %) (0.43 %)
Expected life of awards (years) 3.58 3.88
Weighted average share price (DKK) 67.5 80

The risk-free interest rate has been estimated on the basis of Danish government bonds with similar maturities. Expected volatility has been determined on the basis of the historic volatility of comparable listed companies.

The weighted average remaining contractual life for LTIP awards outstanding at December 31, 2018 was 2.88 years (2017: 3.88 years). The exercise price for each LTIP award outstanding as of December 31, 2018 was DKK 1 (2017: DKK 1).

For the year ended December 31, 2018, TDKK 2.105 (2017: TDKK 122) was recognized as compensation expense related to the LTIP, with a corresponding amount recognized in equity. Of the total expense, TDKK 1.139 (2017: TDKK 78) is attributed to the Executive Management. No LTIP awards were granted to the Board of Directors.

Phantom share-based incentive program (cash-settled)

In June 2018, Orphazyme introduced a four-year phantom share-based incentive program (the "Phantom Shares Program") for all employees other than the Executive Management and Key Employees under the LTIP. The Phantom Shares Program is based on the share price of the Company and entitles the participants to a potential cash bonus if there has been an increase of at least 20% in Orphazyme's share price compared to the entry price at the grant date. The Phantom Shares Program will not have any dilutive effect on the shareholders of Orphazyme as the phantom shares do not constitute or qualify for actual shares in Orphazyme.

The overall objectives of the Phantom Shares Program are (i) to retain qualified employees, (ii) to create long-term incentive for the participants, and (iii) to align the interests of the employees with those of Orphazyme's shareholders. Each employee participating in the program earns the right to a certain number of phantom shares per month, depending on the employee's position. Subject to any adjustments to the Phantom Shares Program made by the Board of Directors due to, for example, changes in Orphazyme's share capital structure or other significant events, each employee will be eligible to receive up to a total of 144 or 288 phantom shares under the program. By the end of each calendar year 2018-2021, the participants will have earned phantom shares each year free of charge.

The entry price per phantom share is DKK 61 and has been calculated on the basis of the volume-weighted average closing price of Orphazyme's share on Nasdaq Copenhagen during a period of 10 trading days prior to the introduction of the Phantom Shares Program. The phantom shares will automatically be settled in cash at the end of January 2023 by subtracting the entry price per share from the market price per share and multiplying the change by the total number of granted phantom shares, but only if Orphazyme's market price per share at that date exceeds the entry price per share by at least 20%. The market price per share will be based on the volume-weighted average closing price of Orphazyme's shares on Nasdaq Copenhagen during a period of 10 trading days prior to the settlement of the phantom shares in January 2023.


Group Financial Statements | Orphazyme Annual Report 2018

2.5 SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION COSTS (CONTINUED)

The employee's cash awards are capped and cannot exceed a gross amount of DKK 37,500 or DKK 75,000 per employee, depending on the number of phantom shares allocated to the respective employee under the program. Based on the number of participants in the Phantom Shares Program as of December 31, 2018, the program is expected to consist of up to 6,300 phantom shares in total.

As the Phantom Shares Program is cash-settled, the fair value of the phantom shares granted as part of the program is estimated at each reporting date. As of December 31, 2018, the fair value of the phantom shares was estimated at approximately TDKK 73. For the year ended December 31, 2018, TDKK 39 was recognized as compensation expense related to the Phantom Shares Program, with a corresponding amount recognized as a long-term liability (Note 3.4).

The following table presents the inputs to the Monte-Carlo model used to estimate the fair value of the phantom shares revalued as of December 31, 2018:

Valuation Date Dec 31, 2018
Fair value at the measurement date (TDKK) 73
Dividen yield (%) -
Expected volatility (%) 52.3%
Risk-free interest rate (%) (0.34%)
Expected life of awards (years) 4.08
Weighted average share price (DKK) 43.35

The risk-free interest rate has been estimated on the basis of Danish government bonds with similar maturities. Expected volatility has been determined on the basis of the historic volatility of comparable listed companies.

As of December 31, 2018, all phantom shares granted under the Phantom Shares Program were only granted to employees of Orphazyme. No phantom shares were forfeited or expired, and none of the phantom shares were eligible for exercise.

2.6 FINANCIAL INCOME AND FINANCIAL EXPENSES

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial income and expenses Include interest income and expense, gains and losses due to changes in foreign exchange rates and other immaterial miscellaneous items.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized TDKK 5 (2017: TDKK26) as Financial Income due to interest; and the Company recognized TDKK 3,453 (2017: TDKK 688) as Financial Expenses due to foreign currency loss and bank charges.

2.7 INCOME TAXES

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Income tax benefit includes the current benefit due from the current period's taxable loss and deferred tax adjustments. The benefit is comprised primarily of refundable tax credits for costs incurred in connection with research and development activities under the Danish Tax Credit Regime.

Corporation tax receivable is recognized in the balance sheet as the tax benefit computed on the taxable loss for the year, adjusted for any changes to the prior year benefit due to changes in the taxable loss of prior years and for any taxes already paid or refunded.

Deferred tax is measured using the balance sheet liability method on all temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax value of assets and liabilities, with the exception of temporary differences occurring at the time of acquisition and liabilities neither affecting the result of operation nor the taxable income.

2.6 INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

Key judgement regarding the recognition of the deferred tax assets related to taxable losses to be carried forward

Orphazyme is subject to income taxes in Denmark and in the U.S.A. The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets if it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available in the future against which the temporary differences and unused tax losses can be utilized. Significant judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that may be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. This judgment is made periodically after considering current facts and circumstances, budgets and business plans as well as the risks and uncertainty associated with the Company's ability to successfully commercialize and defend its intellectual property. After consideration of these factors, Management has concluded that as regulatory approval has not yet been obtained as of December 31, 2018, the deferred income tax assets related to taxable losses carried forward do not meet the criteria for being recognized as assets in the Statement of Financial Position.

The Company's tax losses can be carried forward infinitely subject to the general rules on limited deductibility due to ownership changes. In Denmark, the Company's ability to use tax loss carry forwards in any one year is limited to 100% of the first MDKK 7.5 of taxable income plus 60% of taxable income above MDKK 7.5. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company has unrecognized net tax loss carry-forwards in the Danish entity in the amount of MDKK 280 and MDKK 235, respectively.

As of December 31, 2018, there are no tax audits in process nor has management been notified of any pending tax audit. As of December 31, 2018, the tax years that remain open for audit by the Danish tax authorities include 2013 through 2016.

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation or uncertainty and establishes provisions, where appropriate. To date, there have not been any provisions established for uncertain tax positions.

The following table presents the total income tax benefit for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

2018 TDKK 2017 TDKK
Current tax benefit on net loss 51,722 28,975
Tax credit research and development expenses 5,500 5,500
Change in unrecognized deferred tax before tax credit (51,850) (27,592)
Permanent deviations 128 (1,383)
Total income tax benefit for the period 5,500 5,500

SECTION 3 - OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Section 3 presents details of the operating assets and liabilities that form the basis of Orphazyme's activities, including Licenses, Property, Plant and Equipment, Prepayments, Deposits, and Other Receivables, Financial Assets and Liabilities, Cash, and Contractual Obligations and Contingencies.

3.1 LICENSES

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

License rights to develop and commercialize products that are accounted for as intangible assets and acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. For acquisition of intangible rights involving equity-settled share-based payment transactions, Management measures the fair value of the rights received and the corresponding increase in equity by reference to the fair value of the rights received, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If Management cannot estimate reliably the fair value of the rights received, it measures the fair value and the corresponding increase in equity by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives such as license rights to develop and commercialize products are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.

The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss in the expense category that is consistent with the function of the intangible assets.

Key estimate of the fair value of licenses

Licenses contains an agreement entered into with the University of Kansas and University College London, in which the Company will obtain access to data and know-how generated in the course of research in connection with the sIBM trial. Consideration for the license is to be paid out by issuing new shares to the contract partners for a value corresponding to the costs incurred during the preceding calendar year. The valuation of the license upon the execution of the agreement involves uncertainty and was estimated by Management based on the expected costs over the contract period. In addition, the estimation of the duration of a license agreement at times involves uncertainty if termination is dependent on a time limit after successful commercialization. Management has considered potential commercialization dates and will re-assess this estimate on an ongoing basis.

3.1 LICENSES (CONTINUED)

In May 2011, Orphazyme entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with the US biopharmaceutical company CytRx. Pursuant to this agreement, CytRx irrevocably sold and transferred certain preclinical and clinical data, intellectual property rights, and other assets, including contractual rights and obligations relating to a portfolio of chemical compounds, which includes arimoclomol, to Orphazyme. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Orphazyme agreed to make future payments to CytRx that were contingent upon the achievement of specified clinical, regulatory, and sales milestones. The Asset Purchase Agreement further includes royalty payments to be made by Orphazyme based on a specified percentage of any eventual net sales of products containing one of the compounds purchased. In August 2018, the Company made a milestone payment of USD 250,000 (TDKK 1,603) upon the enrollment of the first patient in the ALS clinical trial. The Company has capitalized this amount as an acquired license right, as Management assesses that the consideration paid reflects market expectations about the probability that future economic benefits will flow to the Company. The acquired license is not being amortized until approval of the underlying asset has been received from regulatory authorities.

In 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with KU Center for Technology Commercialization, Inc., University of Kansas, Kansas Life Sciences Development Company, Inc., ("KLSDC") and UCL Business PLC ("UCL") granting Orphazyme the right to develop and commercialize products under all data generated in the course of the on-going Phase II/III clinical trial on arimoclomol for the treatment of sIBM worldwide. The total consideration for the license is to be paid out in bonus shares to KLSDC and UCL up to an aggregate value of USD 2.5 million (DKK 15.8 million), depending on the amount of grants awarded to KLSDC and UCL for use in the trial. At the time the license agreement was executed, Management estimated the aggregate amount of the funding to be received by KLSDC and UCL to be

USD 1.583 thousand (TDKK 9.972), which has been recognized as an intangible asset (License) with a corresponding increase in equity reserves (Share-based compensation-acquisition of intangible assets).

Consideration to KLSDC and UCL is payable in shares of the Company ("Bonus Shares") each January and is based on incurred costs reported by KLSDC and UCL for the previous year. As at December 31, 2017 the aggregate costs incurred by KLSDC and UCL amounted to USD 143 thousand (TDKK 902), and a total of 11,380 Bonus Shares were issued to KLSDC and UCL in January 2018, based on the average 30-day closing price of Orphazyme's shares. In addition, at the time of the share issuance the equity reserve was decreased by TDKK 902, which represents the market value of the shares issued.

Under the terms of the license agreement, Orphazyme shall furthermore pay an aggregate royalty of 2% of net sales of products sold for the treatment of sIBM. Orphazyme expects to generate income from such products sold for the treatment of sIBM which will exceed any royalty payments due. Orphazyme has no liabilities prior to the occurrence of a potential future sale of products sold for the treatment of sIBM and accordingly, neither such liabilities have been recognized nor contingent considerations as part of the rights acquired.

The license is being amortized over the duration of the license agreement, which has been estimated to be approximately 14 years. Amortization expense for the years ended December

31, 2018 and 2017 amounts to TDKK 712 and TDKK 119, respectively, and is recognized within research and development expenses.

The following table presents the cost and respective amortization of the licenses held by Orphazyme:

Group Financial Statements | Orphazyme Annual Report 2018

3.2 PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Property, plant, and equipment includes IT, lab and other equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements that are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes the acquisition price and costs directly related to the acquisition until the time the asset is ready for use. The residual value of equipment is not material. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the asset, being 3-5 for equipment and furniture. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the remaining lease term. The useful life of assets and method of depreciation are reviewed by management at least each year-end or more often based on changes in facts and circumstances. Changes in useful lives or residual values are adjusted prospectively as changes in accounting estimates. In addition, the Company has fully depreciated equipment still in use.

Property, plant, and equipment is required to be tested for impairment when there are impairment indicators present. Impairment tests are conducted at the individual asset level, or at the lowest level for which separately identifiable cash flows for groups of assets exist. Impaired assets or asset groups are written down to their recoverable amount, which is the higher of the value in use and the net realizable value of the asset or asset group, with impairment charges allocated proportionately to the assets within the impaired asset group.

The following table presents the Company's Property, plant and equipment as of the years presented:

Furniture and equipment TDKK Leasehold improvements TDKK Total TDKK

3.3 PREPAYMENTS, DEPOSITS AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Prepayments

Prepayments include advance payments made to vendors that will be incurred and expensed in subsequent financial reporting periods. When the period for full expense recognition is longer than one year from the balance sheet date, the portion to be expensed subsequent to one year is classified as non-current.

Deposits

Deposits include advance payments made to vendors to be settled upon completion of the underlying contract. When the contract term is longer than one year from the balance sheet date, the deposit is classified as non-current.

Key estimate of prepayments related to clinical trial development costs

As explained in Note 2.1, Orphazyme incurs substantial costs associated with clinical trials related to its development programs and there is a high degree of estimation involved in accounting for clinical trial development costs. In particular, certain CROs and vendors are paid upfront in connection with clinical activities and Management is required to estimate the timing of the prepayment release to expense. This expense for the year is estimated by using an expense model, as described in Note 2.1.

Other receivables

Other receivables include current and non-current amounts due to the Company.

Sales tax

Expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of sales tax, except:

  • When the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case, the sales tax is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item, as applicable
  • When receivables and payables are stated with the amount of sales tax included

The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.

The following items comprised Non-current Prepayments and Deposits as of December 31, 2018 and 2017:

2018 TDKK 2017 TDKK
Deposits with vendors 1,266 -
Prepayments to vendors 633 -
Leasehold deposit 632 410
Total non-current Prepayments and Deposits 2,531 410

Non-current Prepayments and Deposits mainly includes a deposit with a CRO for advance payment of pass-through costs in connection with a clinical trial; prepaid insurance; and the lease deposit on our headquarters in Copenhagen.

Current Prepayments and Other Receivables are specified below:

2018 TDKK 2017 TDKK
Prepayments to vendors 14,233 4,847
Grant income receivable 1,237 512
VAT receivable, net 1,468 5,216
Foreign VAT receivable 6,116 -
Other current receivables 124 143
Total current Prepayments and Other Receivables 23,178 10,718

Current Prepayments to vendors includes prepayments made to CROs for clinical trial costs of TDKK 8,572 (2017: TDKK 3,488).

3.4 FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

4 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets that meet certain criteria are classified at initial recognition as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), or fair value through profit or loss. The Group does not hold any financial assets meeting these classification criteria except cash and certain types of other receivables. Generally, the Company's financial assets are available to support current operations and amounts expected to be realized within the next twelve months are classified in the Statement of Financial Position as current assets.

The Group's financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not carried at fair value through profit and loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset, if any. Financial instruments recognized at fair value are allocated to one of the following valuation hierarchy levels:

  • Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2: Other techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.

  • Level 3: Techniques that use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

Subsequent measurement

Historically, the Group's receivables are due within a twelve-month period and therefore the impact of using the effective interest rate method on the Group's financial statements has been immaterial.

Financial asset impairment

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there has been objective evidence that a financial asset may be impaired. Impairment losses are recognized if there is objective evidence of impairment and the evidence indicates that estimated future cash flows will be negatively impacted. The Group did not assess an impairment of a financial asset for either of the years ended December 31, 2018 or 2017.

Financial liabilities

Trade payables and accruals

Trade payables and accruals relate to the Group's purchase of products and services from various vendors in the normal course of business.

Other liabilities

Other payables are measured at net realizable value. The amount payable to employees for the Phantom Shares Program (Note 2.5) is classified as non-current and is measured at fair value.

Key estimate of accruals related to clinical trial development costs

As explained in Note 2.1, Orphazyme incurs substantial costs associated with clinical trials related to its development programs and there is a high degree of estimation involved in accounting for clinical trial development costs. As described in Note 2.1, Management uses an expense model to estimate the timing of expenses recognition in each period and related accruals at the end of the year.

The Group's financial assets include cash (Note 3.5) and other receivables related to Government Grants (Note 2.2) and Corporate Tax Receivable (Note 2.7). The Group has no derivative financial assets nor has there been a change in classification of a financial asset after initial recognition and measurements as discussed herein. Financial assets are not acquired for trading or speculative purposes, nor has the Group placed any assets as security for loans at either December 31, 2018 or 2017.

As of the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Group's financial liabilities comprise trade payables and accruals as follows:

2018 TDKK 2017 TDKK
Trade payables 18,090 13,436
Accruals 24,093 26,796
Total Trade Payables and Accruals 42,183 40,232

Group Financial Statements | Orphazyme Annual Report 2018

3.4 FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

As of the year ended December 31, 2018, Accruals includes an amount of TDKK 13,376 (2017: TDKK 8,520) for clinical trial costs.

As of the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, total other liabilities is comprised as follows

2018 TDKK 2017 TDKK
Deferred grant income 299 520
Remuneration to the Board of Directors 1,836 113
Payroll and employee-related costs 8,677 6,251
Total other liabilities 10,812 6,883

Certain amounts included in prior year trade payables and accruals and other liabilities have been reclassified for consistency with current year presentation.

In addition, the Group has the following non-current liabilities as of the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

2018 TDKK 2017 TDKK
Accrual for milestone payment to vendor 66 -
Phantom shares liability to employees 39 -
Non-current Liabilities 105 -

3.5 CASH

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash includes cash on hand and in banks that is subject to the risk of changes in value (Note 4.4).

Statement of cash flows

The statement of cash flows is presented using the indirect method and shows cash flows resulting from operating activities, investing activities, financing activities, and the Group's cash at the beginning and end of the year, including any effects of exchange rate changes.

Cash flows used in operating activities converts items in the Statement of Profit or Loss from the accrual basis of accounting to the cash basis of accounting. Non-cash items such as foreign exchange gains and losses, depreciation, amortization, and changes in working capital are reversed from the net loss for the year and actual cash receipts and payments are included.

Cash flows from investing activities shows payments related primarily to the purchase of licenses and property, plant, and equipment.

Cash flows from financing activities shows proceeds from share issuances, net of transaction costs, including the proceeds from Orphazyme's IPO on Nasdaq Copenhagen in 2017.

As of the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Group's cash balance denominated in foreign currencies was as follows:

2018 TDKK 2017 TDKK
DKK 392,196 631,324
EUR 596 93
USD 1,886 288
GBP 28 29
Total cash 394,706 631,735

3.6 CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND CONTINGENCIES

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Leases

The Group is party to lease agreements only in which it is a lessee and not a lessor. A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. Lease contracts where the lessor retains the significant risks and rewards associated with ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards associated with ownership to the Group is classified as a finance lease. The Group has not entered into any finance leases. When entering into new contracts, the Group considers whether the arrangement contains a lease and should be accounted for as a lease.

An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease. Operating lease payments are recognized as an operating expense in the Statement of Profit or Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease payments related to facilities used for research purposes are recognized in Research and Development expenses. Lease payments related to facilities not used for research purposes are recognized in General and Administrative expenses.

On January 1, 2019, the Group adopted IFRS 16, Leases (Note 1.4).

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the total lease expense recognized was TDKK 1,910 and TDKK 1,671, respectively.

Contractual obligations

The Group has entered into an operating lease for its headquarters location in Denmark with a non-cancelable lease term of six months, which as of December 31, 2018 established a contractual commitment of TDKK 1,333 (2017: TDKK 902). In addition, the Group has contractual obligations related to contracts with CROs and other vendors for research and development activities that have been initiated and are non-cancelable as of December 31, 2018, which establishes contractual commitments of approximately DKK 178 million (2017: DKK 48 million).

Contingent Assets and Contingent Liabilities

The Group will recognize assets or liabilities in the future that are dependent on achieving certain milestones that may or may not be in the Group's control.

Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement with CytRx described in Note 3.1, Orphazyme agreed to make future royalty payments to CytRx based on a specified percentage of any eventual net sales of products containing one of the compounds purchased. In addition, under the terms of the license agreement with KLSDC and UCL described in Note 3.1, Orphazyme shall pay an aggregate royalty of 2% of net sales of products sold for the treatment of sIBM. Orphazyme is required to use commercially diligent efforts to develop and commercialize such products.

Orphazyme expects to generate income from any products sold, which will exceed any royalty payments due to third parties. Orphazyme has no obligation to pay royalties prior to the occurrence of the sale of products and accordingly, neither a liability for the royalties to be paid nor contingent consideration to be received as part of the rights acquired has been recognized.

SECTION 4 - OTHER DISCLOSURES

Section 4 presents details of other disclosures relevant to the consolidated financial statements of the Group, including Capital Management, Equity, Earnings per Share, Financial Risk, Related Parties, Fees to Statutory Auditors, and Significant Events after the Reporting Period.

4.1 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

For the purpose of the Group's capital management, capital includes issued capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Group. The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to maximize shareholder value while limiting the financial risk. The Board of Directors' policy is to maintain a strong capital base in order to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence, and a continuous advancement of the Group's intellectual property, product pipeline, and business. Cash and financial assets are monitored on a regular basis by Management and the Board of Directors in assessing current and long-term capital needs. As of December 31, 2018, the Group held cash totaling TDKK 394,706 that will be sufficient to provide adequate funding to allow the Group to meet its planned operating activities, including increased levels of research and development activities, in the normal course of business for the next twelve months.

4.2 EQUITY

The following table summarizes the Company's share activity:

Class A ordinary shares Class B preferred shares Class C preferred shares Ordinary shares

4.2 EQUITY (CONTINUED)

In first quarter 2017, the Company completed a capital increase by issuing 534,007 Class C shares to existing shareholders for net proceeds received of TDKK 48,061. In connection with the capital increase, the Company incurred expenses totaling TDKK 73.

In March 2017, the Company completed a TDKK 108,690 financing round by issuing 1,207,662 new Class C shares to LSP V Coöperatieve U.A. and ALS Investment Fund.

In preparation for the IPO, the capital structure of Orphazyme was changed in November 2017 by merging the three then-existing share classes (A, B and C) into one combined ordinary share class by issuance of bonus shares in order to replace the cancelled preference shares (the "2017 Capital Structure Adjustment"). In connection with the 2017 Capital Structure Adjustment, the Class B and C preference shares of the Company were converted into ordinary shares on a 1:1 ratio. In order to account for the preferential rights attached to the preference shares, a directed issue of 6,487,882 bonus shares using free reserves of the Company was carried out at par value in favor of the preference shareholders.

In connection with the IPO on November 16, 2017 a total of 838,092 warrants were exercised for net proceeds of TDKK 1,161.

In November 2017, the Company successfully completed the IPO by issuing 7,500,000 new ordinary shares for gross proceeds of TDKK 600,000. In connection with the capital increase, the Company incurred expenses totaling TDKK 56,061, of which TDKK 42,605 was recognized directly in equity.

The Company has not declared or made any dividend payments for the last two financial years. Currently, the Company intends to use all available financial resources as well as revenue, if any, for purposes of the Company's current and future business. As of the date hereof, the Company does not expect to make dividend payments within the foreseeable future.

In January 2018, the Company issued 11,380 bonus shares ("2018 Bonus Shares") using free reserves of the Company to KU Center for Technology Commercialization, Inc., University of Kansas, Kansas Life Sciences Development Company, Inc. ("KLSDC"), and UCL Business PLC ("UCL") under the terms of the license agreement entered into in October 2017 (Note 3.1).

Following this share capital increase, the total nominal share capital of the Company as of December 31, 2018 was DKK 19,939,564, divided into 19,939,564 ordinary shares each with a nominal value of DKK 1.

4.3 LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share for the year is calculated by dividing the net loss for the year by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. The diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss for the year by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period increased by the dilutive effect of the assumed issuance of outstanding share-based awards. As a result of the Group incurring losses for each of the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the potential shares issuable related to outstanding share-based awards have been excluded from the calculation of diluted per share amounts, as the effect of such shares is anti-dilutive.

On November 2, 2017, in preparation for the IPO, the capital structure of Orphazyme was adjusted by merging the three then-existing share classes (A, B and C) into one combined ordinary share class by issuance of 6,487,882 bonus shares ("2017 Bonus Shares") in order to replace the cancelled preference shares.

In January 2018, the Company issued 11,380 bonus shares ("2018 Bonus Shares") to KLSDC and UCL under the terms of the license agreement entered into in October 2017 with the parties (Note 3.1).

In January 2019, the Company issued 26,050 bonus shares ("2019 Bonus Shares") to KLSDC and UCL under the terms of the same license agreement mentioned above.

Basic and diluted loss per share for the years presented have been adjusted retrospectively to include the 2017 Bonus Shares, the 2018 Bonus Shares, and the 2019 Bonus Shares in the number of weighted average shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

4.3 LOSS PER SHARE (CONTINUED)

The following reflects the net loss attributable to shareholders and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share computations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

2018 2017
Net loss for the year (TDKK) (229,600) (126,204)
Weighted-average shares outstanding 19,965,614 12,101,543
Loss per share (11.50) (10.43)

4.4 FINANCIAL RISKS

The Group's activities expose it to a number of financial risks whereby future events, which can be outside the control of the Group, could have a material effect on its financial position and results of operations. The known risks include foreign currency, interest and credit risk and there could be other risks currently unknown to Management. The Group has not historically hedged its financial risks.

Liquidity Risk

The Group's liquidity risk is assessed to be low.

Management continuously assesses the Group's capital structure and whether its liquidity reserves will allow it to achieve the business objectives. Following the IPO in November 2017, the Group's cash reserves have allowed it to continue to advance its development activities.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Group's foreign currency risk is assessed to be high. The Group's functional currency is the DKK and it conducts cross border transactions where the functional currency is not always used. Accordingly, future changes in the exchange rates of the DKK against the EUR, the USD and/or the GBP will

4.4 FINANCIAL RISKS (CONTINUED)

expose the Group to currency gains or losses that will impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and the impact could be material.

Interest Rate Risk

The Group's interest rate risk is assessed to be low.

The Group has no interest-bearing debt. Due to the current interest level in Denmark, the Group incurs negative interest on bank deposits.

Credit Risk

The Group's credit risk is assessed to be low.

The Group's credit risk is associated with cash held in banks. The Company does not trade financial assets for speculative purposes and invests with the objective of preserving capital.

The Company's cash is held primarily at two banks in Denmark with Moody's long-term credit ratings exceeding of A1.

The Group has prepared a sensitivity analysis in order to assess the potential impact on the Group's net loss for possible fluctuations in the EUR, USD, and GBP exchange rates against the DKK and the impact for the possible fluctuations in the interest rate on bank deposits in Denmark and in the U.S. The methods and assumptions used are consistent with prior year and consider increases and decreases in the Group's three main currencies, as well as reasonable fluctuations in the interest rate on its bank deposits. Based on the sensitivity analyses, the impact on the Group's net loss for the year ended December 31, 2018 would be as follows:

Currency Currency fluctuation Effect 2018 TDKK Effect 2017 TDKK
EUR +/- 2% 713 215
USD +/-10% 1,278 936
GBP +/-10% 218 358

Cash deposits fluctuation TDKK TDKK
DKK +/- 1% 20 6313
EUR +/- 1% - 1
USD +/- 1% - -
GBP +/- 1% - 3

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF ORPHAZYME A/S

OPINION

We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements of Orphazyme A/S for the financial year January 1 – December 31, 2018, which comprise statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position, statement of changes in shareholders' equity, statement of cash flow and notes, including accounting policies, for the Group and the Parent Company. The consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and in accordance with IFRS as endorsed by the EU, as well as additional disclosure requirements under the Danish Financial Statements Act.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and the Parent Company at December 31, 2018 and of the results of the Group's and the Parent Company's operations and cash flows for the financial year January 1 – December 31, 2018 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and in accordance with IFRS as endorsed by the EU as well as additional disclosure requirements under the Danish Financial Statements Act.

Our opinion is consistent with our long-form audit report to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements" (hereinafter collectively referred to as "the financial statements") section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and additional requirements applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these rules and requirements.

To the best of our knowledge, we have not provided any prohibited non-audit services as described in article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) no. 537/2014.

Appointment of auditor

We were initially appointed as auditor of Orphazyme A/S on December 4, 2015 for the financial year July 1 to December 31, 2015. We have been reappointed annually by resolution of the general meeting for a total consecutive period of 4 years up until the financial year 2018.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the financial year 2018. These matters were addressed during our audit of the financial statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon. We do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled our responsibilities described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements" section, including in relation to the key audit matters below. Accordingly, our audit included the design and performance of procedures to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.


Statements and Signatures | Orphazyme Annual Report 2018

Key audit matters

Accrual for costs incurred through Clinical Research Organisations (CROs)

Orphazyme has entered into several clinical research contracts with Clinical Research Organisations (CROs) that perform research and development for the Company.

Due to the materiality of these arrangements and since they cover multiple periods, recognition of the transactions in the correct period requires Management to make significant estimates.

We focused on this area due to materiality and because the arrangements and the related accounting treatment of accruals accounting for CRO costs require significant estimation by Management.

Refer to Note 2.1 and 3.4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

STATEMENT ON THE MANAGEMENT'S REVIEW

Management is responsible for the Management's review. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the Management's review, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management's review and, in doing so, consider whether the Management's review is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

We have evaluated relevant processes including Management's controls to ensure that CRO contracts are recognised and measured appropriately on an ongoing basis.

We obtained Management's calculations for CRO accruals at year-end and reconciled inputs and key assumptions to underlying terms and conditions in the agreements and relevant internal and external sources – and assessed the accuracy of the accruals for CRO services received – including assessed the accuracy of the accruals in previous periods. Furthermore, the CRO accrual models have been tested for clerical accuracy.

We assessed whether the disclosures in relation to CRO accruals were appropriate and met the requirements of the accounting standards.

Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether the Management's review provides the information required under the Danish Financial Statements Act.

Based on the work we have performed, we conclude that the Management's review is in accordance with the financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act. We did not identify any material misstatement of the Management's review.

MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and parent company financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and in accordance with IFRS as endorsed by the EU as well as additional disclosure requirements under the Danish Financial Statements Act and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Group's and the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements unless Management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Parent Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,


Statements and Signatures | Orphazyme Annual Report 2018

A = II

but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.

As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness

of the Group's and the Parent Company's internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and the Parent Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contents of the financial statements, including the note disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
