I – PRESENTATION OF THE COMPANY

The company

Pixium Vision is a company specialized in sensorial neuromodulation, created in December 2011 by Professor José-Alain Sahel, Bernard Gilly and several renowned scientists from prestigious scientific institutions such as the Vision Institute (Institut de la Vision) (comprising the Vision and Hearing Foundation, the "Quinze-Vingts" National Ophthalmology Hospital Centre (CHNO), Pierre and Marie Curie University (UPMC), the National Scientific Research Centre (CNRS), and the National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM), the Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) and the School of Electric and Electronic Industries (ESIEE). This project involved several technologies with the objective of developing effective and innovative vision restoration systems (VRS). These technologies were provided by: (i) the above-mentioned institutions for new algorithms, software and image sensors, (ii) a Swiss company, Intelligent Medical Implant AG (IMI), whose assets (patents and know-how) related to the implant technology known as intelligent retinal implant system (IRIS®) were acquired by Pixium and (iii) Stanford University for the sub-retinal implant technology called PRIMA, (for Photovoltaic Retinal Implant).

The goal of the Company is to market its IRIS® and PRIMA VRS, which are active implantable medical devices intended to treat blindness resulting from the degeneration of retinal photoreceptor cells. The devices developed by Pixium Vision are intended for blind patients whose optic nerve remains functional.

The IRIS® and PRIMA systems are built around three components: (i) an implantable part (the retinal implant) that contains electrodes, (ii) a portable visual interface (goggles with a camera and a data transmission system) and (iii) a pocket processor.

A large number of diseases of the retina (whether of genetic origin such as pigmentary degeneration of the retina or related to ageing such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), result from the acute or progressive degeneration of the photoreceptor cells. The disappearance of these cells prevents the conversion of visual stimuli into electrical signals that are then transmitted to and analyzed by the brain. The goal of Pixium Vision implant technology is to replace these signal processing functions of the retina by electrically stimulating retinal cells that then transmit this stimulation to the brain via the optic nerve. The objective of these innovative systems, currently under development by Pixium Vision is to partially restore the vision of patients suffering from RP and therefore considerably enhance their autonomy, mobility and quality of life. The second step planned by the Company is to extend the use of these technologies to the treatment of AMD. The Company is developing IRIS® in RP, and will develop PRIMA in AMD

Recent progress in microelectronics/nanoelectronics, optronics and software has enabled Pixium Vision to envisage a therapeutic solution that will ultimately provide patients with vision as close to normal as possible.

Thanks to the contracts and agreements signed with the various institutions composing the Institut de la Vision, Pixium Vision have access to top tier research groups, high quality facilities for preclinical tests of its devices and easier access to patients to conduct clinical trials.

The Company has signed an exclusive license contract with the UPMC, giving it access to the variety of technologies required for its development.

Major developments

During the first half of 2016, major developments includes:

  • On 7 January 2016, Pixium Vision announced the publication of positive preclinical safety and feasability data for PRIMA, its second bionic vision system.
  • On 29 January 2016, Pixium Vision announced its 2015 financial results.
  • On 16 February 2016, Pixium Vision announced it received approval from German regulatory authority to implant 150 electrode IRIS®II in clinical trial.
  • On 24 February 2016, Pixium Vision announced that it had implanted IRIS®II, its first epiretinal implant with 150 electrodes.
  • On 27 April 2016, Pixium Vision announced its first quarter 2016 financial update.
  • On 4 May 2016, Pixium Vision announced that its research partner reported significant progress on PRIMA, a tiny wireless sub-retinal implant.
  • On 31 May 2016, Pixium Vision received clinical trial approval from UK regulatory authority for 150 electrodes IRIS®II Bionic Vision system

Over both presented periods, the Company only had a research and development (R&D) activity and did not generated sales.

For the first half of 2016, the Company has recorded €1,366,005 in other revenues compared to €1,737,691 a year earlier.

As no R&D expense is activated, the research tax credit (RTC) is fully accounted for in other revenues. For the first half of 2016, the Company recorded a net income related to RTC of €1,242,046 compared to of €1,266,098 in the first half of 2015. This RTC level is due to the continued development of Pixium Vision, only company in the world developing in parallel two Bionic Vision Systems.

Additionally, in 2016, the Company received a grant of €122,159 in relation to the GRAPHENE project. The Company also received in 2015, the first instalment of €471,593 provided by Bpifrance under the SIGHT AGAIN project.

In line with its strategy, the company has reduced research expenditures on IRIS®II following its CE mark dossier filling in December 2015. Furthermore, the Company selectively allocated its resources during the first half of 2016. The decrease in spending is partially offset by the recognition of a non-cash expense of €304,266 related to the 2016 AGA (free shares) plan, and provisions for bonuses recognized on the first half of 2016.

V – AUDITOR'S REPORT ON 2016 INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT

Auditor's report on 2016 interim financial report

Shareholders,

In our capacity as statutory auditors and pursuant to Article L. 451-1-2 III of the Monetary and Financial Code, we have perfomed:

The review of the interim financial statements of the company PIXIUM VISION, for the period from 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2016, as attached to this report;

The verification of the information provided in the interim management report.

These condensed interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Board. It is our responsibility, based on our review, to express a conclusion on these accounts.

I - Conclusion on the accounts

We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A limited review primarily consist on talking with members of management responsible for financial and accounting matters and implementing analytical procedures. Is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. Therefore, the assurance that the financial statements taken as a whole, does not contain any significant anomalies obtained in the context of a limited review is moderate, lower than that obtained in the course of an audit.

Based on our review, we have not identified any significant anomalies likely to call into question the compliance, in all material respects, of the interim financial statements with French accounting rules and principles.

II - Specific verification

We also verified the information given in the interim management report on the interim financial statements subject to our review. We have no comment to make on the fairness and consistency with the condensed interim financial statements.
