Main events of the period 1.1.

During the period, the warrants exercised as part of the structured equity financing line guaranteed by Kepler Cheuvreux in March 2018 generated a net capital increase of €1.9 million (including issue premium) and the issue of 645,000 new shares.

In addition, other warrants exercised during the first half of 2020 generated a capital increase of €0.1 million (including issue premium) and the issue of 87,613 new shares.

On 26 March 2020, the Company introduced new financing, as part of an agreement with Negma Group Ltd. Consisting of a maximum amount of €8 million and an issue of share subscription warrants this financing is renewable twice by mutual agreement between Quantum Genomics and Negma Group Ltd, and will, if necessary, enable Quantum Genomics to be financed to a total maximum amount of €24 million.

As at 30 June 2020, the BSA warrants exercised under this agreement with Negma Group Ltd generated a net capital increase of €3.6 million (including issue premium) and the issue of 1,498,125 new shares.

The Company rebilled its partner Biolab for €286,000 for part of the Phase III study on difficult-to-treat and resistant hypertension conducted in Latin America. This amount was recognised in the "Transfer of Expenses" item.

On 28 January 2020, Benoit Gueugnon (formerly Head of Financial Control at the Company) was appointed Vice-President Finance. He takes over from Marc Karako, who is stepping down from his role.

Despite the current Covid-19 pandemic, discussions are continuing with our potential partners, although we cannot rule out final decision-making becoming slowed down. To protect our research programmes and guarantee their continuation, we have successfully implemented this new funding with Negma Group and secured new sources of funding. This allows us to guarantee the continuation of our studies, regardless of the long-term consequences of the current crisis, it being specified that we do not anticipate a significant delay at this stage.

During the first half of 2020, the Company did not make use of any short time working measures or defer payment of social contributions. It did however benefit from the suspension of the BPI payments.

1.2. Events after the reporting period

In September 2020, our Company and Orient EuroPharma (OEP) entered into an exclusive licensing and collaboration agreement for firibastat in South-East Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Under the terms of the agreement, Orient EuroPharma (OEP) will receive exclusive marketing rights for firibastat for the treatment of hypertension in South-East Asia, Australia and New Zealand. The Company will receive upfront and milestone payments amounting to \$19 million plus sales royalties. OEP will finance the clinical part conducted in Taiwan as part of the overall phase III pivotal study conducted by the Company in difficult-to-treat and resistant hypertension.

1.3. Accounting principles, rules and methods

The annual financial statements have been drawn up in accordance with the provisions of ANC Regulation 2014-03 of 05/06/2014 amended by ANC Regulation 2016-07 of 26/12/2016.

The general accounting conventions have been applied in accordance with the principle of prudence, in accordance with the basic assumptions:

  • going-concern principle,
  • consistency of accounting methods from one year to the next,
  • independence of financial years, in accordance with the general rules for the preparation and presentation of annual accounts.

The reference period of the financial statements is six months covering the period from 1 January to 30 June 2020.

1.4. Going-concern principle

Given its activity, the Company must be able to finance research until the marketing of pharmaceuticals or the transfer of rights on its work.

Free cash as at 30 June 2020 (€13.2 million) and the financing contract concluded with NEGMA GROUP LTD in March 2020 enable the Company to continue its programmes beyond Q3 2021.

2.1.3 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are valued at their acquisition cost, after deduction of rebates and discounts or their cost of production.

Impairment is recognised when the present value of an asset is less than the net book value.

Types of fixed assets Method Duration
Machinery and equipment Straight-line 3 years
General facilities Straight-line 10 years
Office equipment Straight-line 3 to 5 years
Office furniture Straight-line 10 years

2.1.4 Intangible fixed assets

Intangible fixed assets are valued at their acquisition cost, after deducting rebates and discounts or at their production cost.

Impairment is recognised when the actual value of an asset is less than its net book value.

2.1.4.1 Software

The Company owns several different software packages at a purchase value of €6,283, and fully depreciated.

2.1.4.2 Licence

The Company has an exclusive patent and know-how licence granted jointly by several French public institutions, including INSERM, at a global level.

The change in accounting standards led the Company to recognise as at 31 December 2019 this contract under assets in course of construction, in exchange for exceptional income. The cost of this contract will begin to be amortised on the day firibastat is placed on the market.

2.1.4.3 Research and development costs

These costs can be recognised as assets if they relate to clearly individualised projects with a high probability of technical success and commercial profitability.

The following conditions must therefore be fulfilled simultaneously:

6

  • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible fixed asset for commissioning or sale;
  • the intention to complete the intangible fixed asset and use or sell it;
  • the ability to use or sell the intangible fixed asset;
  • the ability of the intangible fixed asset to generate probable future economic benefits. The entity shall demonstrate, among other things, the existence of a market for the production from the intangible fixed asset or the intangible fixed asset itself, or, if it is to be used internally, its usefulness.
  • the availability of adequate resources (technical, financial and other) to complete the development and use or sell the intangible fixed asset;
  • and the ability to reliably measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible fixed asset during its development.

In light of the above conditions, Quantum Genomics' research and development expenses are not recorded under the assets, given the uncertainties over the technical feasibility and prospects for future economic benefits.

The amount recorded for clinical trial subcontracting expenses for the year totalled €3,792,000.

2.1.5 Long-term investments

2.1.5.1 Securities of subsidiaries and interests

The Company has no subsidiary or equity interest.

2.1.5.2 Other non-equity securities

A liquidity agreement was put in place with Aurel BGC on 10 April 2014 and transferred to Invest Securities on 13 April 2015. On 31 December 2018, the Company entered into a new liquidity contract in accordance with the AMAFI charter with Gilbert Dupont, which took effect on 1 February 2019. As a result, 59,005 shares were transferred from Invest Securities to Gilbert Dupont.

Number of shares at 30/06/2020: 105,343 shares

Valuation of the shares at 30/06/2020: 305,495 €
Amount of liquidity at 30/06/2020: 162,525 €

Given that the price at 30 June 2020 is lower than the purchase price, a provision for impairment was recorded in the amount of €5,069.

2.1.6 Receivables

Receivables are valued at their nominal value. Impairment is applied when the inventory value is lower than the book value.

(*) The Company also notes that from 5 March 2018, it had an equity financing line of €24 million over three years, structured and guaranteed by Kepler Cheuvreux. This line operates at the Company's discretion by exercising warrants with a price that is not fixed but varies according to the change in the share price. Therefore, the number of potentially exercisable warrants cannot be determined, as this is linked to the share price and the possibility of remaining financing stated in euros.

During the first half of 2020, 645,220 shares were issued in this context in the amount of €1.9 million. The Company thus settled its equity financing line with Kepler Cheuvreux, which enabled it to raise €24 million from March 2018.

In addition, the Company structured new financing with Negma Group Ltd on 26 March 2020. This financing of €8 million, renewable twice by mutual agreement between the two parties, corresponds to a loan repayable in the form of an exercise of warrants. The exercise price of the warrants is not fixed but variable depending on the change in the stock market price. Therefore, the number of potentially exercisable warrants cannot be determined, as this is linked to the share price and the possibility of remaining financing stated in euros.

As of 30 June 2020, 1,498,125 new shares were issued in this context and €6 million were collected (3 tranches of €2 million). The contract operates in the form of a loan repayable through the issuance of shares. The issue of shares as of 30 June 2020 made it possible to repay €3.6 million on the €6 million collected. There remains a debt of €2.3 million payable to Negma.

All of the warrants subscribed (excluding the equity financing line with Negma Group Ltd) as at 30 June 2020 give the right to purchase 473,471 new shares.

the BSA200 warrants enabled 0.25 new shares to be purchased at a price of €0.3996 per share since 13 May 2019; the BSA2009 warrants have expired.

  • Subject: "Preclinical development of a treatment for arterial hypertension, by inhibition of aminopeptidase A"
  • Total amount of aid: €740,000

The Company had already repaid a fixed sum of €212,500 as of 30 June 2017. With the success having been recognised, it must repay the remaining sum, i.e. €527,500.

At 31/12/2018, a total of €400,000 was paid in accordance with the schedule.

During 2019, £267,500 was repaid, leaving the sum of €72,500 to be repaid, with the final due date on 31 March 2020.

As at 30/06/2020, the same amount remains in account, as owing to Covid-19, the payment was not drawn, and was carried over to the second half of 2020.

In addition, the Company is committed to ensuring that the maximum repayment annuity corresponds to 49.75% of the revenue generated by the project in the previous calendar year, and the additional amounts thus paid will be deducted first and foremost from the last due date for OSEO (Bpifrance) or if necessary on the second to last date.

Notes to the interim financial statements as at 30 June 2020

  • Repayment schedule:

If successful, the advance will be reimbursed in the amount of €260,000, by quarterly instalments according to the following schedule:

Year Repayment
2017 €15,000
2018 €35,000
2019 €70,000
2020 €110,000
2021 €30,000
Total €260,000

At 31 December 2017, two payments of €5,000 were drawn, in other words €10,000 versus €15,000 as anticipated according to the schedule. The remaining €5,000 was drawn at the beginning of the 2018 financial year.

The payment of €35,000 scheduled for 2018 was paid in full over the last financial year. The balance of the advance on 31/12/2018 was therefore €210,000.

Limited review auditor's report on financial statements on June 30, 2020

For the period from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020

This is a free translation into English of the Limited review auditors' report issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English speaking users. The Limited review auditors' report includes information specifically required by French law in such reports, whether modified or not. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional auditing standards applicable in France.

To the Chief Executive Officer,

In our capacity as Statutory Auditor of Quantum Genomics and in response to your request, we have conducted a limited review of Quantum Genomics' half-year financial statements for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2020 as attached to this report.

These half-year financial statements have been drawn up under the responsibility of the Board of Directors. It is our responsibility, on the basis of our limited review, to express our conclusion on these financial statements.

QUANTUM GENOMICS - Page 2/2

We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A limited review consists primarily of interviewing members of the management in charge of accounting and financial matters and implementing analytical procedures. This work is less extensive than that required for an audit carried out in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. As a result, the assurance that the accounts, taken as a whole, do not contain any material misstatements in a limited review is a moderate assurance that is less than that obtained in the course of an audit.

On the basis of our review, we have not identified any significant anomalies, in light of French accounting rules and principles, the fact that the financial statements present fairly the company's assets and financial position as at June 30, 2020, and the results of its operations for the period.

This report is governed by French law. The French courts have exclusive jurisdiction in relation to any claim, difference or dispute which may arise out of or in connection with our engagement letter or this attestation.
