CEO REVIEW

Transforming a business requires sustained effort and focus. Since I joined Oasmia in March 2020 we have set out a clear path to future growth as a sustainable global oncology business.

We've done this by:

  • rightsizing the Company and terminating commercial drug production
  • putting our finances in order by eliminating unnecessary operating expenditure
  • building our in-house capabilities to make us an attractive partner for innovative assets and companies
  • reducing business risks, such as resolving inherited legal issues, eliminating these potential liabilities

Creating these solid foundations means we are now well placed to deliver on our string of pearls strategy, putting in place a diversified portfolio of innovative cancer therapies through in-licensing and M&A. Our ambition is to build a pipeline focused on hard-to-treat and late-stage cancers using different approaches and mechanisms of action which offer us multiple shots on goal, de-risking our portfolio significantly and therefore increasing our chances of success. During the third quarter we made steady progress towards achieving this vision.

Resolving outstanding legal disputes

Post period end, we announced the global settlement of all outstanding legal disputes with MGC Capital, former Board Members of Oasmia and members of former management. The settlement will result in a negative cashflow of MSEK 24.5 but will result in a positive earnings effect of MSEK 32.5. Reported debt in relation to the MGC litigation of MSEK 80, as well as a receivable of MSEK 40, is settled as a result of the agreement, strengthening our financial position and eliminating borrowings on the balance sheet. This is excellent news and enables us to look forward rather than back.

Progressing our in-licensed and wholly-owned development-stage oncology assets

Cantrixil is the first product of our string of pearls strategy, in-licensed from Kazia Therapeutics in March. It targets a wide spectrum of cancer cells, including chemotherapy-resistant tumor-initiating cells thought to be responsible for disease relapse. Patients with chemotherapy-resistant ovarian cancer have a very poor prognosis, and Cantrixil could offer a much-needed new therapeutic option. Positive Phase 1 results were presented at AACR earlier this year and Phase 2 study preparations in advanced ovarian cancer are well underway. In September, our Scientific Advisory Board, composed of key opinion leaders in oncology, met in Stockholm for the first time. The Board is offering invaluable guidance on the design of the Cantrixil Phase 2 trial and the longer-term clinical and regulatory path. Securing drug product for the Phase 2 trial through manufacturing agreements with multiple parties is a complex process and initiation of the trial will be later than originally envisaged. We will communicate further on the proposed timetable for the Phase 2 study when we have clarity on the supply situation.

A Phase 1b trial of our second clinical-stage program, docetaxel micellar, in development for advanced prostate cancer, continued to recruit patients in Switzerland under the leadership of the Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research (SAKK). SAKK has made excellent progress, with three centers open and enrolment is still expected to be completed by the end of 2022.

Exploring the full potential of our technologies

We recently provided an update on our collaboration with the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden to explore the full potential of our XR-17™ drug solubilization technology platform. Work on our line extension for XR-17, which we have named XR-18, is progressing well and is intended to offer expanded utility. We are also preparing to evaluate formulations of XR-17/18 with our licensed product candidate, Cantrixil.

Our recent research into XR-19, our dual encapsulation technology designed to encapsulate two active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in one micelle, has yielded encouraging proof-of-concept data. However, we have assessed the commercial utility of this approach to be limited and have therefore decided not to develop new product candidates with this technology, focusing our resources on other development opportunities.

Organizational update

Having the right scientific, regulatory, development and commercial skills to make Oasmia an attractive business partner for oncology drugs and companies around the world is critical to our success. Over the past 18 months, we've built a first-class team in all these areas, and in August I was pleased to announce the appointments of Kia Bengtsson as Head of Clinical Development and Johanna Röstin as Head of Regulatory Affairs. Kia and Johanna significantly strengthen Oasmia's internal drug development expertise, supporting our ability to move products through to commercialization and to evaluate new opportunities. Peter Selin has decided to step down as Chief Business Officer and the search for a replacement has been initiated. Peter will remain in his current role during his notice period.

Maximizing the potential from out-licensed products

Maximizing the potential of our partnered ovarian cancer therapy Apealea® has been another important focus. In September, we signed a license agreement with the Swiss-based FarmaMondo Group for the commercialization of Apealea® in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States, where it is known under the brand name Paclical®. This agreement marks the completion of the out-licensing of Apealea® globally and we anticipate the first royalties from partnerships during 2022.

Elevar has informed Oasmia that it is reviewing the clinical and regulatory pathway for Apealea in the US in order to maximize the product's commercial potential. This may impact the clinical development timelines for Apealea in the US and Oasmia will update investors when firm information has been provided by Elevar.

Building the business through in-licensing and M&A

As well as driving our existing portfolio in Q3, we've made further progress in making Oasmia a more attractive partner for innovative therapies and companies, positioning ourselves to add value in the sweet spot of early-to-mid-stage product development, demonstrated by the in-licensing of Cantrixil.

I'm pleased to report that our continuing transformation and new capabilities has attracted interest from a number of parties and that we are currently evaluating several promising opportunities. I look forward to updating you on progress in due course.

I'd like to thank you all for your continued support at this exciting time for the business as we look ahead to completing our transition to become a global oncology business.

Dr. Francois Martelet, M.D., CEO of Oasmia

XR-17™ Solubilization platform

XR-17™ Technology Platform

Many intravenously-delivered Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) are insoluble or poorly soluble in water. This can be a major hurdle in pharmaceutical development and may cause promising drugs to fail during the development process and may limit the application of approved drugs because of poor solubility. According to some estimates, between 70 and 90% of drugs in the development pipeline are classified as poorly soluble, with approximately 40% of approved drugs similarly affected. Techniques to improve i.v. drug solubility, such as the use of solvents in the form of polymers or polyoxyl oil derivatives and ethanol, may give rise to acute and delayed adverse effects that can be severe. Adverse effects caused by carriers have been seen as an unpleasant trade off in cancer treatment and may necessitate the routine use of corticosteroid as premedication and slow infusions that limit patient flow in the busy chemotherapy suites. To meet this unmet medical need and help improve the efficiency of the drug development process, Oasmia has developed and patented the XR-17 drug delivery platform. XR-17 increases the solubility of intravenously delivered compounds and enables Oasmia to develop innovative formulations of APIs.

Potential advantages of XR-17

XR-17 encapsulates pharmaceutical ingredients in micelles, rendering the combined compound hydrophilic and suitable for intravenous administration. Oasmia's toxicological and clinical studies indicate that XR-17 has beneficial properties that may achieve:

  • Improved administration of selected intravenous APIs, with the aim of avoiding the use of corticosteroids and antihistamines as required premedication.
  • Shortened infusion time, which may facilitate healthcare for patients.
  • Depending on the API chosen, a favorable API/solvent ratio is desired aimed at maintaining a low amount of pharmaceutical excipients per dose while maximizing the delivery of API.
  • Free from alcohol and human and/or animal protein.

Commercialized products

Apealea®

Apealea (paclitaxel micellar) is a patented solvent-free formulation: it applies paclitaxel – a cornerstone within chemotherapy for many different forms of cancer – through Oasmia's XR-17 technology platform. Apealea is approved by the European regulatory authority EMA for use in combination with carboplatin for the treatment of adult patients with first relapse of platinumsensitive epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer and fallopian tube cancer. Apealea has also received orphan drug designation from the US regulatory authority FDA for the treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer, which could entail several potential benefits, including seven years of market exclusivity.

In March 2020 Oasmia signed a global licensing agreement with US-based Elevar Therapeutics Inc. for the further development and commercialization of Apealea. The agreement gave Elevar exclusive rights to develop and commercialize Apealea globally, with the exception of the Nordics, Baltics, Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States. The agreement includes milestone payments of up to USD 678 million depending on achievement of future sales milestones, clinical development milestones and regulatory approval milestones. Elevar will also pay Oasmia doubledigit royalties on sales of Apealea. Oasmia received USD 20 million as an upfront payment.

As announced previously Elevar sub-licensed its commercialization rights in Europe to Inceptua and in the MENA region to Taiba.

Partnerships update

FarmaMondo

In September 2021, Oasmia licensed its development and commercialization rights to Paclical® (Apealea) to FarmaMondo in Russia and the CIS, which includes Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Oasmia is in the process of transferring market authorizations in these territories to FarmaMondo.

Elevar

In June 2021, Oasmia filed an application with the EMA to transfer the marketing authorization for Apealea in the EU and UK to Inceptua, Elevar's commercialization partner in Europe. Elevar has informed Oasmia that Inceptua's market access and launch planning activities are underway, with launches planned in selected countries during the first half of 2022. Elevar has also confirmed to Oasmia that it expects the first revenues from commercial sales of Apealea in Europe to be received in 2022 with royalties to follow.

As part of its original agreement with Elevar, Oasmia transferred production responsibilities for Apealea to Elevar. During the third quarter, Elevar purchased the majority of Oasmia's remaining inventory of semi-finished (i.e., unlabeled) drug product, which can be used for either clinical studies or commercial supply by Elevar. Elevar has also taken over Oasmia's contract manufacturing agreement with Baxter for the provision of additional drug product.

Elevar has informed Oasmia that it is reviewing the clinical and regulatory pathway for Apealea in the US in order to maximize the product's commercial potential. This may impact the clinical development timelines for Apealea in the US, and Oasmia will update investors when further information has been provided by Elevar.

Project Pipeline

Cantrixil

Cantrixil is a clinical-stage product candidate being developed for the treatment of ovarian cancer. Cantrixil consists of the active molecule, a potent and selective third generation benzopyran SMETI inhibitor named TRXE-002-01, encapsulated in a cyclodextrin. It is believed to target a wide spectrum of cancer cells, including chemotherapy-resistant tumor-initiating cells that are thought to be responsible for disease relapse.

In December 2020, top-line results of a Phase I open-label study (NCT02903771), conducted at sites in the USA and Australia, were released. The Phase I study met its primary endpoints, establishing clinical proof of concept, subject to further clinical evaluation and confirmation. The results from the Phase I study were published in Cancers, a peer reviewed, open access journal of oncology. A Phase II study with Cantrixil is being prepared and the timing of when the trial is expected to be initiated will be communicated when it is known with greater certainty.

Oasmia acquired the global development and commercialization rights for Cantrixil from Kazia Therapeutics in March 2021. Since acquiring these rights, Oasmia has been working on the continued the development of this asset. An advisory board has been established to obtain input on the clinical development plan. Oasmia will also seek advice from the EMA and FDA. The work to manufacture drug supply for upcoming clinical trials is ongoing.

Docetaxel micellar

Docetaxel micellar is a product candidate in early clinical development and is a novel formulation that combines XR-17 with docetaxel – a well-established cytotoxin, currently administered intravenously and containing ethanol.

In June 2020, Oasmia partnered with the Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research (SAKK) with the aim of conducting the first clinical study on the treatment of metastasized prostate cancer with Oasmia's Docetaxel micellar formulation. In June 2021 the first patient was dosed in an investigator-initiated Phase 1b clinical trial in patients with advanced prostate cancer. It is an openlabel, multicenter, single-stage study conducted by SAKK at major hospitals in Switzerland, recruiting 18 chemotherapy-naïve patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with adequate bone marrow, liver and renal function. The primary objective of this trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of Docetaxel micellar in patients with mCRPC and the secondary objectives are to evaluate safety, assess the preliminary anti-tumor activity, and to characterize the pharmacokinetics in this population.

Research and development

XR-18

XR-18 is a research effort based on the XR-17 technology platform intended to provide enhanced properties that improve clinical formulations and applications of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for cancer treatment. This effort has recently generated promising data including:

  • Addition of components to existing XR-17 formulation improving certain properties.
  • Synthesis of novel excipients exhibiting XR-17-like properties with enhanced stability characteristics. These modifications will be evaluated for feasibility in various drug formulations.

Oasmia is currently exploring the potential of encapsulating the candidate drug Cantrixil using the XR-17/18 technology in a new discovery-stage program.

XR-19

Oasmia has decided not to pursue development projects using the dual encapsulation technology XR-19, which it believes has limited commercial potential. Oasmia will focus research resources on the in-licensed product candidate Cantrixil with its formulation technologies XR-17/18.

Animal Health

Oasmia's product candidates within veterinary medicine use the XR-17 technology platform to facilitate the administration of intravenously delivered solvent-free active pharmaceutical ingredients. Oasmia is evaluating strategic/commercial alternatives for the company's assets within veterinary medicine operations, with the aim of generating value for Oasmia's shareholders.

Paccal Vet

Paccal Vet utilizes Oasmia's formulation of paclitaxel with its XR-17 encapsulation technology for the treatment of canine mastocytoma. The development program for Paccal Vet is currently on hold, awaiting further strategic decisions.

Doxophos Vet

Doxophos Vet is a patented formulation of doxorubicin, one of the most efficacious and widely used chemotherapeutic substances for the treatment of cancer. Oasmia has developed Doxophos Vet for the treatment of lymphoma, one of the most frequent forms of canine cancer. Pre-clinical and earlier clinical studies have been conducted on dogs with cancer. In the first attempt, Doxophos Vet showed promising efficacy against hematological tumors. The development program is currently on hold, awaiting further strategic decisions.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

As the Annual General Meeting on September 9, 2020 resolved to change the company's fiscal year to the calendar year, the comparative figures in this Interim Report cover the corresponding periods last year, i.e. for the quarter July 1 to September 30, 2020 and the periods January 1 to September 30, 2020 and January 1 to December 31, 2020, respectively.

THIRD QUARTER

July 1 – September 30, 2021

Net sales

Net sales amounted to TSEK 11,920 (154) and comprised sales of goods for TSEK 11,883 (117) and licensing revenues of TSEK 37 (37).

Other operating income

Other operating income amounted to TSEK 4,354 (385) and comprised of TSEK 4,551 (0) as a result of the liquidation of the subsidiary AdvaVet, debt crediting of previously recharged costs of TSEK - 322 (0), other income of TSEK 0 (37) and foreign exchange gains on customer invoices of TSEK 124 (348).

Operating profit/loss for the quarter

The operating loss for the quarter amounted to TSEK -29,572 (-35,194). The year-on-year difference in operating profit/loss was attributable to substantially lower costs as well as to higher turnover.

Other external expenses amounted to TSEK -15,998 (-31,066) and most of the decrease was due to the corresponding quarter last year including subcontracting costs of TSEK -15,203 due to Oasmia increasing its inventory in the preceding year in conjunction with signing the partnership agreement with Elevar Therapeutics, Inc.

The change in inventories of products in progress and finished goods amounted to TSEK -12,237 (21,292). The corresponding quarter last year included an effect from the build-up of inventory, which partly explains the difference compared to this quarter. The quarter included costs related to the sales of goods as above as well as the write-down of inventory due to expired shelf lives on finished products of TSEK -533 (0).

Employee benefit expenses amounted to TSEK -10,396 (-15,301). The year-on-year decrease in employee benefit expenses was due to the cost-reduction program implemented in autumn 2020. The number of employees at the end of the quarter was 26 (54).

Depreciation, amortization and impairment amounted to TSEK -7,284 (-7,041).

Net financial items for the quarter

Net financial items for the quarter of TSEK -1,415 (-1,590) consisted of financial income amounting to TSEK 459 (1,690) and financial expenses of TSEK 1,874 (3,280).

The financial income comprised capital gains on short-term investments of TSEK 109 (1,821) and interest income from current financial receivables of TSEK 350 (350).

Financial expenses consisted of interest expenses attributable to other borrowings of TSEK 1,728 (1,768), exchange losses on cash and cash equivalents of TSEK 3 (1,319) and interest expenses from leases of TSEK 143 (193). Last year, the exchange losses and gains on cash and cash equivalents primarily resulted from the Parent Company's USD holdings.

Profit/loss before tax for the quarter

Profit/loss before tax amounted to TSEK -30,987 (-36,784). The year-on-year improvement was attributable to the better operating profit, see above.

Income tax

Reported income tax for the quarter was TSEK 0 (0).

Profit/loss for the quarter

The net loss after tax was TSEK -30,987 (-36,784).

Cash flow and capital expenditure

Net cash flow for the quarter was TSEK 3,264 (-16,782) and consisted of Cash flow from operating activities of TSEK -25,328 (-42,703), Cash flow from investing activities of TSEK 29,990 (27,290) and Cash flow from financing activities of TSEK -1,398 (-1,368).

Cash flow from operating activities

The cash flow from operating activities for the quarter was TSEK -25,328 (-42,703). Cash flow from operating activities improved TSEK 17,375, which was mainly due to changes in inventories and other current receivables as well as the effects of the aforementioned cost-reduction program.

As previously announced, a settlement agreement has been signed with the plaintiffs in the group action submitted against the company in the US in 2019 (June 1, 2020), and Oasmia and its insurers thereafter settled the liability. During the quarter, the approval process of the settlement agreement was concluded by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, which means that the case has also been finally settled in closing the books for the quarter through the change in other current receivables and other current liabilities with corresponding amounts. The above had no net impact on the company's cash flow or financial position.

Cash flow from investing activities

Cash flow from investing activities for the quarter was TSEK 29,990 (27,290).

Investments in property, plant and equipment and in intangible assets Capital expenditure during the quarter consisted of investments in property, plant and equipment of TSEK 10 (942).

Short-term investments

During the third quarter, short-term fixed-income funds amounting to TSEK 30,000 (30,000) were divested. These flows are reported in the cash flow statement as divestments of short-term investments.

Cash flow from financing activities

The cash flow from financing activities amounted to TSEK -1,398 (-1,368). Amortization of lease liabilities which mainly comprised rental payments recognized as amortization pursuant to IFRS 16 amounted to TSEK -1,398 (-1,368).

THE PERIOD

January 1, 2021 – September 30, 2021

Net sales

Net sales amounted to TSEK 16,553 (201,628) and comprised sales of goods for TSEK 16,442 (416) and licensing revenues of TSEK 111 (201,212). In March 2020, Oasmia and Elevar Therapeutics, Inc. entered a global strategic partnership to commercialize Apealea® with an upfront payment of MUSD 20. The compensation corresponding to TSEK 201,100 was recognized as licensing revenues with the licensing period beginning in April 2020.

Other operating income

Other operating income amounted to TSEK 6,631 (1,205) and comprised of TSEK 4,551 (0) as a result of the liquidation of the subsidiary AdvaVet recharged costs of TSEK 1,863 (359), disposal of equipment of TSEK 20 (0), other income of TSEK 0 (175) and foreign exchange gains on customer invoices of TSEK 196 (671).

Operating profit/loss for the period

The operating loss for the period amounted to TSEK -126,579 (15,117). The year-on-year difference in operating profit/loss was largely attributable to the licensing revenues received from Elevar Therapeutics, Inc., see the above section on net sales. Moreover, the partnership agreement with Elevar Therapeutics, Inc. entails, as previously announced, the shutdown of a considerable share of the company's in-house production, which enabled a substantial staff reduction and led to the impairment of production equipment. These measures were implemented in autumn 2020 and the company is now noting the effects of this cost-reduction program.

Other operating expenses amounted to TSEK -59,940 (-134,896). A major portion of the year-onyear decrease was attributable to other external services TSEK -43,235 (-61,016), primarily lower consulting costs and legal expenses. Moreover, a non-recurring expense attributable to the preparation of a partnership agreement with Elevar Therapeutics, Inc. was charged to the corresponding period last year. The decrease was also due to the corresponding period last year including subcontracting costs of TSEK -38,399 due to Oasmia increasing its inventory in the preceding year in conjunction with signing the partnership agreement with Elevar Therapeutics, Inc.

The change in inventories of products in progress and finished goods amounted to TSEK -34,970 (34,801). The year-on-year difference was also attributable to, in addition to last year's effect from the build-up of inventory, costs for the period for sales as well as the write-down of inventory (see note 3) as a consequence of expired shelf lives.

Employee benefit expenses amounted to TSEK -33,008 (-55,048). The year-on-year decrease in employee benefit expenses was due to the aforementioned cost-reduction program.

Depreciation, amortization and impairment amounted to TSEK -21,603 (-23,700). During the last quarter of the 2019/2020 fiscal year (Feb–Apr 2020), the capitalization of development costs for Apealea®/Paclical was concluded and amortization of capitalized development costs for this product started. Straight-line amortization is applied to capitalized development costs over the period in which the expected benefits are expected to accrue to the company. The partnership agreement with Elevar Therapeutics, Inc. also led to impairment of production equipment in the corresponding period last year.

During the period, the company's lease for premises was terminated and the head office was moved to more appropriate premises in Stockholm. For the time being, development activities will remain in Uppsala. The number of employees at the end of the period was 26 (54).

Net financial items for the period

Net financial items for the period of TSEK -3,294 (-7,285) consisted of financial income amounting to TSEK 2,453 (4,057) and financial expenses of TSEK 5,747 (11,342).

The financial income comprised capital gains on short-term investments of TSEK 1,405 (3,006) and interest income from current financial receivables of TSEK 1,048 (1,051).

Financial expenses consisted of interest expenses attributable to other borrowings of TSEK 5,086 (5,104), exchange losses on cash and cash equivalents of TSEK 286 (5,482) and interest expenses from leases of TSEK 375 (756). Last year, the exchange losses and gains on cash and cash equivalents primarily resulted from the Parent Company's USD holdings.

Profit/loss before tax for the period

Profit/loss before tax amounted to TSEK -129,873 (7,832). The difference was due primarily to the inclusion of licensing revenues from Elevar Therapeutics, Inc. of TSEK 201,100 in the year-earlier period and the effect of the cost-reduction program. Compared with the corresponding period last year, other external expenses and employee benefit expenses decreased TSEK 96,996. Financial items also had a positive impact of TSEK 3,991.

Income tax

Reported income tax for the period amounted to TSEK 0 (0).

Profit/loss for the period

The net loss after tax was TSEK -129,873 (7,832).

Cash flow and capital expenditure

Net cash flow for the period was TSEK -33,920 (-268,576) and consisted of Cash flow from operating activities of TSEK 100,429 (18,578), Cash flow from investing activities of TSEK 70,891 (- 281,836) and Cash flow from financing activities of TSEK -4,382 (-5,318).

Excluding this item, cash flow from operating activities improved TSEK 82,093, which was mainly due to the effects of the aforementioned cost-reduction program.

For the January to June period of the 2020 calendar year, remaining items related to this rights issue accounted for an inflow of TSEK 1,891 and an outflow of TSEK 2,979 attributable to issue expenses in the cash flow from financing activities.

As of September 30, 2021, the value of the funds was TSEK 142,492 (277,081).

Other borrowings

On October 31, 2020, Oasmia had a debt to MGC Capital Ltd amounting to TSEK 80,000 (80,000), which is reported in the balance sheet as Other borrowings. This debt fell due on August 24, 2019 and, as of September 30, 2021, remained disputed and had not been settled.

In July 2019, Oasmia acquired a claim on MGC of TSEK 60,251 from Arwidsro Investment AB. This receivable was acquired for TSEK 40,251 and is reported in the balance sheet under Other current receivables at this value. This receivable fell due on August 24, 2019 and, as of September 30, 2021, remained disputed and had not been settled. However, in an announcement after the end of the reporting period, Oasmia had reached a settlement with regard to all disputes with MGC, which means that the above balance-sheet items will be removed and the effect reported in closing the books for December 31, 2021. See also Note 5.

The reason that the debt/equity ratio is negative is that net debt is negative, meaning that the sum of cash and cash equivalents and shortterm investments is greater than borrowing.

NOTE 1 – Accounting policies, etc.

This report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Securities Market Act. The consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) as well as recommendation RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Regulations for Groups and the Annual Accounts Act.

The Group's accounting policies and calculation methods are consistent with those used in the Annual Report for the fiscal year from May 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.

The Parent Company's accounts are presented in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.

No new or amended IFRS standards or IFRIC interpretations have entered force since January 1, 2021 that have had any impact on Oasmia's financial statements.

The carrying amounts for loan receivables, other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and other liabilities comprise reasonable approximations of fair value.

The Group currently has only one operating segment and does not therefore report any information by segment.

As the Annual General Meeting on September 9, 2020 resolved to change the company's fiscal year to the calendar year, the comparative figures in this Interim Report cover the corresponding periods last year, i.e. for the quarter July 1 to September 30, 2020 and the periods January 1 to September 30, 2020 and January 1 to December 31, 2020, respectively.

Note 2 Capitalized development costs

Note 4 Transactions with related parties

During the period in 2021, the subsidiary AdvaVet was liquidated pursuant to the Board decision taken in the preceding fiscal year. As a consequence of the liquidation being completed during the quarter, other operating income amounting to SEK 4,551 thousand (0) was reported in the Group.

During the period, expenses in the form of consultancy fees to members of the Board or management were recognized in an amount of TSEK 1,680.

Otherwise, no material transactions with related parties were conducted during the quarter other than the remuneration disbursed to Board members and employees.

Note 5 Contingent liabilities, pledged assets and contingent assets

The Parent Company has taken out a chattel mortgage of TSEK 8,000 with a bank as collateral for an overdraft facility of TSEK 5,000 (and as the limit for a foreign currency derivative of TSEK 3,000.

Balance with MGC Capital LTD. (MGC)

MGC presented a claim for compensation from Oasmia as a result of MGC not being allowed to subscribe for shares by means of 23.2 million warrants. The associated claim is set at approximately MSEK 230 and is based on the assumption that MSEK was entitled to the warrants and that MGC divested all of its shares in November 2018. MGC applied for an initial subpoena partly for the claim of MSEK 80 and partly for damages that have been adjusted to approximately MSEK 230.

In July 2019, Oasmia acquired a claim on MGC from Arwidsro Investment AB as part of the settlement agreement between Arwidsro and Oasmia. The nominal value of the receivable on October 31, 2019 amounted to TSEK 60,251, but when the receivable was acquired for TSEK 40,251, it was entered as an asset in the balance sheet at this value.

However, in an announcement after the end of the reporting period, Oasmia had reached a settlement with regard to all disputes with MGC, which means that the above balance-sheet items will be removed in closing the books for December 31, 2021. The financial effects of this settlement (a positive earnings effect of approximately SEK 32.5 million and a negative cash flow effect of approximately SEK 24.5 million) are of a non-recurring nature and will be presented in the interim report for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Note 6 Risk factors

The Group is exposed to various types of risk through its operations. Through creating awareness of the risks inherent to operations, these risks can be limited, controlled and managed at the same time as business opportunities can be leveraged to increase earnings.

The risks pertaining to Oasmia's operations are detailed in the Annual Report for the fiscal year from May 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.

The Board of Directors and the CEO of Oasmia Pharmaceutical AB certify that this Interim report gives a fair view of the Parent Company's and the Group's activities, position and results, and describes essential risks and uncertainty factors that the Parent Company and the companies that are part of the Group face.

REVIEW REPORT

Oasmia Pharmaceutical AB (publ) Corp. id. 556332-6676

Translation from the Swedish original

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Oasmia Pharmaceutical AB (publ) as of 30 September 2021 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
