2.2      Company activity and results

 

2.2.1       Activity

 

First-half 2022 saw the continuation of the development strategy pursued by the Company over several years.

 

A)In operational terms, the Company continued to develop its main clinical programs while strengthening its pre-clinical assets:

 

Development of Sarconeos (BIO101) for Sarcopenia – SARA program. Following the completion of the Phase 2b SARA-INT study in 2021, the Company has been working with experts and regulatory authorities to design Phase 3. Several meetings were held with these experts and the European (EMA) and US (FDA) regulatory authorities in the first half of the year, in relation to the design of the Phase 3 study, an overview of which was presented at the SCWD conference in June 2022.

 

Development of Sarconeos (BIO101) for the prevention of respiratory deterioration in COVID-19 patients – COVA program. The Company announced in early April 2022 that, in light of the evolving epidemic, it was halting patient enrollment in its Phase 2-3 study after the enrollment of the 237th patient and would work with CROs to report the study's results in the third quarter of 2022.

 

Page 6 of 49

 

 

Half-year financial report as of June 30, 2022

 

In June 2022, the Company announced that it was presenting new pre-clinical efficacy data for its product Sarconeos (BIO101) in SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) at the SMA Cure 2022 conference in Anaheim, California, USA, from June 16 to 19, 2022. This strengthens the pre-clinical data available for Sarconeos (BIO101) as a treatment for orphan neuromuscular disorders.

 

B)Financially, the first half of the year was marked by the drawdown of two 4 million euros tranches of ORNANE bonds each under the new 32 million euros agreement signed with Atlas in 2021.

 

2.2.2      Governance

 

The Combined General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company was unable to validly deliberate due to the lack of a quorum on June 3, 2022. The Combined General Meeting was held on the second call on June 21, 2022.

 

The shareholders approved all the resolutions presented by the Board of Directors to the Combined Shareholders' Meeting, and in particular those ratifying the delegations of powers to the Board of Directors to decide on the issue of shares and/or securities.

 

2.2.3      Operating expenses

 

The Company’s operating loss was -11,920 thousand euros as of June 30, 2022 compared to -10,513 thousand euros as of June 30, 2021.

 

 

This change is mainly due to an increase of the personnel expenses for an amount of 3,384 thousand euros offset by a decrease of the studies and research expenses.

Half-year financial report as of June 30, 2022

 

2.2.4      Net financial expense

 

(Amounts in thousands of euros)  June 30, 2021   June 30, 2022 
Interest and amortized cost of bonds (1)   (252)   (1,024)
Changes in fair value of convertible bonds (1)   (691)   1,028

Transaction costs related to the issuance of convertible bonds   (38)   (380)
Other financial income   3    (14)
Foreign exchange gains (losses)   1    - 
Total net financial expense   (2,732)   (478)

 

(1) see Note 12.2 “Bonds” of Notes to the consolidated half-year financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2022 in part 3.

 

The net financial expense amounted to -478 thousand euros as of June 30, 2022, compared to -2,732 thousand euros as of June 30, 2021. This change is mainly due to the incomes related to the changes in fair value of convertible bonds. This is partially offset by an increase of the financial interests.

Half-year financial report as of June 30, 2022

 

2.2.5      Cash and liquid assets

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to 19,7 million euros as of June 30, 2022, compared to 23,9 million euros as of December 31, 2021. This change is mainly due to an improvement in the working capital requirement and the drawdown of the first two tranches of the ORNANE financing line set up with Atlas for 4 million euros in April 2022 and 4 million euros in June 2022.

2.3      Situation in Ukraine and its impact on the company’s business

 

As of February 24, 2022, Russia significantly intensified its military operations in Ukraine. In response, the European Union, the United States, and certain other countries have imposed significant sanctions and export controls on Russia, Belarus, and certain individuals and entities linked to Russian or Belarusian political, commercial, and financial organizations, and the European Union, the United States, and some other countries could impose additional sanctions, trade restrictions, and other retaliatory measures if the conflict continues or escalates.

Half-year financial report as of June 30, 2022

2.4      Subsequent events

 

COVA study results

 

On September 7, 2022, the company published the very promising results of the Phase 2-3 study of the COVA program to treat COVID-19-related respiratory failure. In the primary analysis, Sarconeos (BIO101) was shown to reduce the risk of respiratory failure or early death at 28 days (primary endpoint) by 39% compared to the placebo (15.8% versus 26.0%, adjusted difference of 11.8% in favor of treatment, p=0.07). Sarconeos (BIO101) reduced both the proportion of patients with respiratory failure (12.7% versus 21.5%) and early death (0.8% versus 2.8%). Sarconeos (BIO101) also significantly delayed (p=0.03) adverse progression to respiratory failure or early death over a maximum treatment period of 28 days.

 

ORNANE conversions - ATLAS contracts

 

Since June 30, 2022, the Company has converted 4 convertible bonds under Tranche 8 of the ATLAS 2020 Contract, the totality of the 160 convertible bonds of the Tranche 1 and 12 convertible bonds of the Tranche 2, both related to the ATLAS 2021 Contract, for a total amount of 4.7 million euros (100 thousand of euros for Tranche 8, 4 million euros for Tranche 1, and 600 thousand of euros for Tranche 2). The operations gave rise to the creation of 65,341,520 new Company shares (1,331,948 shares for Tranche 8, 57,506,246 shares for Tranche 1 and 13,721,104 shares for Tranche 2).

 

The Company has signed on October 20, 2022, a notification of exercise of Tranche for 160 new convertible bonds with a principal amount equal to 25,000€ in two instalments :

 

first installment for 80 convertible bonds of tranche 3 with a principal amount equal to € 25,000 and received on November 10, 2022; and

 

second installment for 80 convertible bonds of tranche 3 with a principal amount equal to € 25,000 and received on January 11, 2023.

 

Negma Group Ltd litigation

 

The Paris Court of Appeal has:

 

- confirmed the judgment of the Paris Commercial Court of March 16, 2021 (The Company has already executed in 2021 the entire judment);

 

- ordered Biophytis to pay Negma 75,000 euros under article 700 of the Code of Procedure civil as well as costs.

Half-year financial report as of June 30, 2022

 

2.5      Evolution and outlook

  

Sarconeos (BIO101)

 

Given the progress of its clinical programs for its drug candidate, Sarconeos (BIO101), Biophytis intends to pursue the following activities:

 

Sarcopenia (SARA program)

 

The Company intends to finalize the design of the Phase 3 clinical trial and obtain the necessary approvals from the European and American regulatory authorities in the first half of 2023 in order to be able to initiate this trial. Given the size of the study and the potential market, Biophytis intends to conduct this Phase 3 study in partnership with pharmaceutical companies, either as part of a co-development project or as part of a transfer of commercial exploitation rights.

 

Severe respiratory failure related to COVID-19 (COVA program)

 

Equipped with the results of the Phase 2-3 trial, Biophytis can now finalize the analysis of the data. The next step is to present the results in the coming months to the regulatory agencies, health authorities and Biophytis' partners, particularly in Europe, the United States and Brazil, to determine under what conditions the Company can pursue the development of Sarconeos (BIO101) for COVID-19. At the same time, it is considering the possibility of amending and continuing the Early Access Program (EAP) authorized in Brazil and expanding it to other territories.

 

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (MYODA program)

 

Following IND (Investigational New Drug) Application approval from the FDA and clearance from the Belgian authorities, the study, which had been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has been resumed. Biophytis is proceeding with preparations for the launch of the MYODA Phase 1-2 study of Sarconeos (BIO101) for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), with the objective of enrolling the first patient in this study in the first half of 2023.

 

MACA program

 

The Company is continuing its pre-clinical development work on Macuneos (BIO201) and its backup, to develop its drug candidate for dry AMD. Depending on the results and available funding, the Phase 1 clinical trial for this indication could begin in 2023.

 

2.6      Risk factors and related party transactions

Biophytis and its subsidiaries are referred to hereinafter as “Biophytis,” or the “Company.”

 

The following information constitutes the Notes to the condensed interim financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 with comparative information required under IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Biophytis, or the “Financial Statements”, have been prepared under the responsibility of management of the Company and were approved and authorized for issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors on January 26, 2023.

 

Note 2: Accounting principles, rules and methods

 

2.1 Statement of compliance

 

The Company has prepared its Financial Statements for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Boards, or IASB. The term “IFRS” refers collectively to international accounting and financial reporting standards (IASs and IFRSs) and to interpretations of the interpretations committees (IFRS Interpretations Committee, or IFRS IC, and Standing Interpretations Committee, or SIC), whose application is mandatory for the periods presented.

 

The Financial Statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 have been prepared in accordance with the international accounting standard IAS 34 Interim financial reporting. The financial information may not be indicative of other periods or results to be expected for the full year.

 

Page 17 of 49

 

 

Half-year financial report at June 30, 2022

 

Due to the listing of ordinary shares of the Company on Euronext Growth Paris (formerly known as Alternext Paris) and in accordance with the European Union’s regulation No. 1606/2002 of July 19, 2002, the Financial Statements of the Company are also prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union, or EU, whose application is mandatory for the periods presented.

 

As of June 30, 2022, all IFRS that the IASB has published and that are mandatory are the same as those endorsed by the EU and mandatory in the EU. As a result, the Financial Statements comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB and as adopted by the EU.

 

2.2 Going concern

 

The Board of Directors approved the Financial Statements on a going concern basis despite the loss of 12 million euros for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. This analysis takes into account:

 

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022 amounted to 19,7 million euros; and

 

The potential use of a funding line of convertible notes established in June 2021 with Atlas that could generate up to 24 million euros of additional funding (8 tranches with a nominal value of 4 million euros each, the first and the second tranches have been issued in April and June 2022, respectively).

 

2.3 Accounting methods

 

The accounting principles adopted for the Financial Statements as of and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 are the same as for the year ended December 31, 2021 with the exception of the following new standards, amendments and interpretations whose application was mandatory for the Company as of January 1, 2022:

 

Amendments to IAS 37 - Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets – Onerous contracts, concept of costs directly linked to the contract Amendments applicable from January 1, 2022

 

Amendment to IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment – income generated before intended use

 

Amendment to IFRS 3 reference conceptual framework.

 

IFRIC interpretation relating to the recognition of configuration or customization costs in the context of a SaaS-type contract (IAS 38 Intangible assets)

 

Adoptions of these standards have not had a material impact on the Financial Statements.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements that may be relevant to the Company’s operations but have not yet been adopted are as follows:

 

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current – Deferral of Effective Date issued on January 23, 2020 and July 15, 2020 respectively and whose application is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023;

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies issued on February 12, 2021 and whose application is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023;

 

Page 18 of 49

 

 

Half-year financial report at June 30, 2022

 

Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates issued on February 12, 2021 and whose application is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023; and

Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction issued on May 7, 2021 and whose application is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.

 

The Company is currently assessing whether the adoption of these standards, amendments to standards and interpretations will have a material impact on its financial statements at the date of adoption.

 

Moreover, the accounting treatment for the Kreos 2021 contracts as of and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 is not the same as for the year ended December 31, 2021 previously issued (see Note 2.7).

Half-year financial report at June 30, 2022

 

2.4 Translation of the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries

 

The financial statements of entities whose functional currency is not the euro are translated as follows:

 

assets and liabilities are translated using the closing rate of the period;

income statement items are translated using the average rate of the period as long as it is not called into question by significant changes in rate; and

equity items are translated using the historical rate.

 

The exchange differences arising on translation are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income.

 

The exchange rates used for the preparation of the Financial Statements are as follows:

 

  

Closing rate

AS OF

  

Average rate for the

Six-month period ended

 
EXCHANGE RATE  DECEMBER 31, 2021   JUNE 30, 2022   JUNE 30, 2021   JUNE 30, 2022 
BRL   6.3101    5.4229    6.4902    5.5565 
USD   1.1326    1.0387    1.2053    1.0934 

 

2.5 Use of judgments and estimates

 

To prepare the financial statements in accordance with the IFRS, the main judgements and estimates made by the Company’s management as well as the main assumptions are consistent with those applied in preparing the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2021 previously issued, with the exception of the judgments and estimates related to Kreos 2021 contracts (see Note 2.7).

 

Such estimates are based on the assumption of going concern and are based on the information available at the time of their preparation.

 

The pandemic linked to COVID-19 and the situation in Ukraine did not lead to the use of new estimates or significant new judgments in the first half of 2022.

 

2.6 Impact of the Covid-19 health crisis on the June 30, 2022 accounts

 

Neither the Covid-19 health crisis nor the situation in Ukraine had a significant impact on the Company's operations.

 

2.7 Restatement of previously issued financial statements

 

In connection with the preparation of those unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company identified an error in the accounting for the venture loan agreement and bonds issue agreement signed with Kreos on November 19, 2021 in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. Pursuant to the provisions of IAS 8, the Company has decided that it is necessary to restate the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the 2021 financial year in order to make certain restatements required to reflect the proper accounting treatment of these agreements.

 

Page 20 of 49

 

 

Half-year financial report at June 30, 2022

 

At the initial recognition of this transaction, a “Day One Loss” of €1,444 million was calculated and reported as a financial asset on the Company’s balance sheet. The Day One Loss was deferred and amortised over the term of the contract in financial expenses for the difference between the fair value of the convertible bonds plus the fair value of the attached warrants as estimated by the Company on the one hand, and the corresponding transaction prices (i.e., proceeds received) on the other hand, assuming that the contractual interest of the straight bonds was a market rate for Biophytis at the transaction date.

 

The Company reconsidered all the characteristics listed in the Kreos financing contract, which includes various instruments (straight bonds, convertible bonds, and warrants) in view of the way negotiations conducted with Kreos took place.

 

Initially the Company considered that the interest rate applied to the straight bonds was a market rate, leading to a Day One Loss on convertible bonds and warrants which was not offset by a Day One Gain on straight bonds. Reconsidering this assessment, the Company concluded that all instruments negotiated at the same time with Kreos should have been analysed together and the amount of cash received on November 19, 2021 (before transaction costs) was deemed to correspond to the fair value of all the instruments contracted with Kreos. As a result, the Company revised the credit spread used at issuance date so that Day One Losses and Day One Gains identified on each financial instrument that was part of the transaction with Kreos offset each other at the inception of the agreement, except for the third tranche (C) of the straight bonds which was subject to specific negotiation with Kreos and issued in December 2021.

 

In the course of the restatement, the various instruments (straight bonds, convertible bonds and warrants) were recognized at inception on the balance sheet for the fair value estimated by the Company which corresponds as a whole to the consideration received (before transaction costs). At the level of each instrument, value differences are identified between i) the nominal value of the instruments entered in the contract and ii) their fair value estimated by the Company based on unobservable inputs: these value differences are individually analyzed as Day One Losses and Day One Gains, which are required to be deferred under IFRS 9. Since the instruments are linked to each other, traded as a whole, the Company considered that the recognition of all of these gains and losses by the end of the reporting period is a reflection of the economics of the transaction.

 

The following table summarizes the impact of the restatement on the various instruments of the Kreos financing contract.

No impairment was recognized on the intangible assets of the Company during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company determined that there was limited impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s assets.

 

The Company co-owns certain patents with state-owned partners.

 

As part of the Intellectual Property agreement signed with the Company's CEO (see Note 19.2) and its amendment, the total patent rights acquired from the Company's CEO as of June 30, 2022 amounted to 1,350 thousand euros and are amortized over a 19-year period.

 

During the six-months period ended June 30, 2022, the change in intangible assets is mainly due to the amortization of the patents.

The subscription price was 0.06 euros per warrant. The warrants can be exercised for a period of 5 years from April 30, 2020, at an exercise price of 0.27 euros per new share.

 

Each warrant gives its holder the right to subscribe for one new Biophytis share.

(1) Financial liabilities related to the prefinancing of a portion of the research tax credit (CIR) receivables

 

In December 2020, a portion of the CIR receivables for 2020 were prefinanced by FONDS COMMUN DE TITRISATION PREDIREC INNOVATION 2020 with NEFTYS CONSEIL SARL as arranger, or NEFTYS. Consequently, the Company recorded:

 

  a liability for the amount due to NEFTYS at the time of CIR collection;

  a financial asset for the amounts deducted by NEFTYS on the receivables sold (considered as a guarantee deposit, see Note 6); and

  a current asset for the CIR research tax credit payable by the French State.

 

In accordance with IFRS 9, the financial liability due to NEFTYS was determined using the amortized cost method for 3,287 thousand euros and 3,367 thousand euros as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

In April 2020, the Company signed a convertible bond financing of up to 24 million euros from Atlas to continue the development of Sarconeos (BIO 101) through the issuance of multiple convertible notes over a 3-year period (the “960 3-year note warrants”). This contract replaced the Negma Group contract.

 

The Company issued a first tranche of 3 million euros on April 29, 2020, a second tranche of 3 million euros on June 19, 2020 and a third tranche of 3 million euros on August 28, 2020. On May 27, 2021, the Company issued a fourth and fifth tranche of 3 million euros each. Those bonds were issued with a discount of 3% of nominal value (i.e., 180 thousand euros as of the fourth and fifth tranches)

Half-year financial report at June 30, 2022

 

Other issuance costs were incurred by the Company for approximately 37 thousand euros for the fourth and fifth tranches.

 

Main characteristics of the ORNANE note warrants

 

The 960 3-year note warrants require their holder to exercise them, at the Company’s request, in tranches of 120 warrants each. Each warrant grants its holder the right to one ORNANE. Note warrants may not be transferred and are not subject to a request for admission to trading on the Euronext Growth market.

 

Main characteristics of the ORNANE ATLAS 2020

 

The ORNANE (Bonds) have a par value of 25,000 euros and are issued at a subscription price of 97% of the nominal value. They do not bear interest and have a 24-month maturity from issuance. Holders of ORNANE may request at any time the Company to convert them into shares during their maturity period, and at that time, the Company has to redeem the ORNANE in cash. At the end of the term, and if the ORNANE have not yet been converted, the ORNANE are automatically converted.

 

The holder may ask to convert the ORNANE at any time at the conversion parity determined by the following formula: N = CA /CP, where

 

·“N” is the number of shares yielded by the conversion,
·“CA” is the par value of the ORNANEs (i.e., 25,000 euros),
·“CP” is the conversion price (i.e., 97% of the lowest volume weighted average price over the 10 trading days preceding the date on which conversion is requested).

 

On the day of the conversion request, the Company may redeem the ORNANE in cash using the following formula: V = CA/CP x CPr, where

 

·“V” is the amount redeemed to the holder,
·“CPr” is the lowest price between (i) the weighted average closing price prior to the conversion and (ii) the lowest weighted average prices of the previous 10 trading days x 1.15

 

ORNANE may be transferred by their holders only to Affiliates and will not be subject to a request for admission to trading on the Euronext Growth market.

 

Accounting treatment

 

The Company determined that it could not reliably estimate separately the fair value of the conversion option embedded in the convertible bonds and therefore concluded that the entire hybrid contract should be measured at fair value through profit or loss until settlement.

 

The fair value is measured using a Longstaff-Schwartz valuation model.

In June 2021, the Company signed a new convertible bond financing of up to 32 million euros (8 tranches with a nominal value of 4 million euros each) with Atlas (the “2021 Atlas Contract”) to continue the development of Sarconeos (BIO 101) through the issuance of multiple convertible notes.

 

The new financing instrument provides for the issuance of up to 1,280 bonds with an option for exchange in cash and/or conversion into new or existing shares (ORNANE). Subject to the issue of the eighth and final tranche under the 2020 Atlas Contract, the 32 million euros total financing can be drawn by Biophytis over the next three years, without obligation, through eight successive tranches of 4 million euros each. This facility is intended to secure the Company cash position in order to continue the development of its clinical activities in particular further development of Sarconeos (BIO 101).

 

The bond tranches are issued with a discount of 4% of the nominal. A commitment commission of 500,000 euros will be paid over the various draws, at the rate of 12% per draw.

 

As of June 30, 2022, the Company issued 360 ORNANE bonds (first and second tranches) for a total amount of 8 million euros under the ATLAS 2021 Contract. Issue premiums were paid for 320 thousand euros, and transaction costs for 60 thousand euros.

Main characteristics of the ORNANE ATLAS 2021

 

The ORNANE will have a par value of 25 000 euros. They will not bear interest and will have a 24-month maturity from issuance.

 

The holder of ORNANE may request at any time to convert them into shares during their maturity period, and the Company shall have the right to redeem the ORNANE in cash. In case of cash redemption, the amount reimbursed will be limited to 110% of the principal.

 

At the end of the maturity period, and in the case where the ORNANE would not have been redeemed either in cash or in new or existing shares, the holder will have the obligation to convert the ORNANE.

 

The holder can ask to convert the ORNANE at any time at the conversion parity determined by the following formula:
N = CA / CP, where

 

·“N” is the number of shares yielded by the conversion,
·“CA” is the par value of the ORNANEs (i.e., 25,000 euros each),
·“CP” is the conversion price (i.e., the lowest stock market price observed over the 10 days preceding the conversion request).

 

On the day of the conversion request, the Company may redeem the ORNANE in cash using the following formula: V = (CA/CP) * CPr, where

 

·“V” is the amount to be redeemed to the holder.
·“CPr” is the revised price.

 

The revised price is the lowest price between (i) the volume weighted average price over the 10 trading days preceding the date on which conversion is requested and (ii) P*1.10

 

The revised price is the lower of (i) the market price preceding the conversion date and (ii) the conversion price*1.10

 

ORNANE may be transferred by their holders only to Affiliates and will not be subject to a request for trading admission on the Euronext Growth market.

Issuance of non-convertible bonds for the benefit of Kreos – Contract 2018

 

On September 10, 2018, the Company signed a venture loan agreement and bonds issue agreement with Kreos, which provides for up to 10 million euros in funding to the Company through the issuance of non-convertible bonds in four separate tranches of 2.5 million euros each, plus the issuance of attached warrants in connection with the first tranche. As required under the terms of the venture loan agreement, the Company pledged a security interest in the Company’s assets to Kreos. The Company also granted a security interest in the business as a going concern, including a portion of the Company’s patents, to Kreos.

 

Page 39 of 49

 

 

Half-year financial report at June 30, 2022

 

Each tranche of non-convertible bonds bears a 10% annual interest rate and must be repaid in cash in 36 monthly installments commencing in April 2019.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, the Company has the right, at any time but with no less than 30 days’ prior notice to Kreos, to prepay or purchase the non-convertible bonds, exclusively in full. The prepayment will be equal to (i) the principal amount outstanding, plus (ii) the sum of all interest repayments, which would have been paid throughout the remainder of the term of the relevant tranche discounted by 10% per annum.

 

The first and second tranches of non-convertible bonds were issued on September 10, 2018, the third tranche of non-convertible bonds was issued on December 17, 2018 and the final tranche was issued on March 1, 2019, for total gross proceeds to the Company of €10 million. Guarantee deposits totaling 320 thousand euros (80 thousand euros per tranche) were withheld by Kreos from the proceeds received by the Company. The amount withheld will be deducted from the last installment to be repaid by the Company. It is presented under “Other non-current financial assets” (see Note 5).

 

The BSA warrants issued to Kreos as part of the first tranche give the holder the right to subscribe for 442,477 ordinary shares at an exercise price of €2.67 per share for a term of 7 years.

 

These BSA warrants were valued at 319 thousand euros and were recorded as an equity instrument and as a reduction in the value of the debt

 

Accounting treatment of KREOS 2018 hybrid financing

 

In accordance with IFRS 9, the non-convertible debt component was initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost. The effective interest rate post recognition of warrants as a reduction of the debt was 13.59%.

 

The non-convertible debt component amounted to €0.9 million as of December 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, the financing is fully repaid.

 

Issuance of convertible and non-convertible bonds for the benefit of Kreos – Contract 2021

 

On November 19, 2021, the Company entered into a "venture loan agreement" with KREOS in lieu of a framework agreement organizing the issue of a bond loan for an amount of up to €10 million through the issue of 7,75 million euros in non-convertible bonds ("Straight bonds"), the issue of 2.25 million euros in convertible bonds ("Convertible bonds"), and the issue of Biophytis share subscription warrants. The issuance of the first tranche is conditioned to the subscription of the warrants previously mentioned.

 

The loan agreement comprises four tranches of respectively 2.5 million euros (A), 3.0 million euros (B), 2.5 million euros (C) and 2.0 million euros ( D). The first two tranches (A and B) were drawn upon signature of the contract on November 19, 2021, the third tranche (C) limited to 677 thousand euros was drawn on December 31, 2021 [and the last tranche (D ) was not drawn by the Company. Tranches A and B include a non-convertible portion (“straight bonds”) for a nominal amount of 3,259 thousand euros, and a convertible portion for 2,250 thousand euros.

 

The non-convertible bonds bear interest at the annual rate of 10% and must be repaid in cash in 36 monthly installments beginning April 1, 2022. The convertible bonds bear interest at the annual rate of 9.5%. The Company will redeem the convertible bonds for their principal amount no later than March 31, 2025, unless they are previously converted into shares, at the option of Kreos Capital, at a fixed conversion price of €0.648 (unless the Company has paid dividends). The conversion options can be exercised at any time, until December 31, 2024.

Half-year financial report at June 30, 2022

 

Under the terms of the contract, the Company has the possibility at any time, provided it complies with prior notification to Kreos of at least 30 days, to reimburse or repurchase the non-convertible and convertible bond loans. The reimbursement will be equal to (1) the amount of the principal remaining due, increased by (2) the sum accounting for 90% of the interest that the Company should have paid over the remaining duration of the tranche concerned.

 

According to the contractual terms of the convertible bonds, in the event of conversion into shares of the convertible bond, Kreos will have to pay the Company an amount equal to 10% of the total interest paid by the Company. In the event of partial conversion on this date, the amount will be reduced accordingly.

 

In accordance with the financing contract entered into with KREOS, the Company issued to Kreos Capital 2,218,293 BSA giving the right to subscribe to new ordinary shares of the Company, on the basis of one share for one BSA. The warrants can be exercised over a period of 7 years after their issuance. The exercise price of the BSAs was set at €0.56.

 

By subscribing to the BSAs, Kreos Capital has expressly waived the right to exercise the 2018 BSAs as they were held following their detachment from the non-convertible bonds subscribed on September 10, 2018 as part of the 2018 loan structure. The redemption value of the BSA 2018 by Biophytis is estimated at (26) thousand euros, paid when drawing the first tranches of the 2021 contract.

 

In the event of the exercise of the BSA 2021, Kreos has the option of limiting the amount of cash paid to Biophytis for the shares subscribed, in return for the waiver of a portion of the BSA it holds (“waiver option”), The waiver premium is calculated as the difference between the 30-day VWAP (« Volume-weighted average price ») of the shares and the exercise price of the BSAs.

 

The “venture loan agreement” provides for the pledge of the Company's goodwill, the pledge of bank account balances as well as the pledge of intellectual property rights for the benefit of Kreos.

 

The venture loan agreement with KREOS imposes certain operational and financial restrictions. These commitments may limit the ability of the company and its subsidiaries, in certain circumstances, to, among other things:

 

· incur additional debt;

· create or incur liens;

· sell or transfer assets; and

· pay dividends.

 

This contract also contains certain customary restrictive covenants and events of default, including in the event of a change of control.

 

Accounting treatment of KREOS 2021 hybrid financing

 

The analysis of the characteristics of the hybrid contract according to the IFRS9 and IAS32 criteria led to the need to recognize the conversion options, as well as the BSAs, as derivative instruments separate from the host contract (no equity component insofar as these options do not in all circumstances lead to the delivery of a fixed number of shares, for a fixed price).

 

Page 41 of 49

 

 

Half-year financial report at June 30, 2022

 

The amount of cash of €5 million, received on November 19, 2021 (excluding transaction costs) corresponds to the estimated fair value of the instruments put in place on the date the funds were drawn: financial debt for tranches A and B for €(4,3) million (convertible and non-convertible), liability derivatives for premiums received on options sold for €(1,2) million (€464 thousand for conversion options and €710 thousand for BSAs issued), and financial compensation of €48 thousand for the 2018 BSAs bought back by Biophytis from KREOS.

 

On the date of implementation of the contract (November 19, 2021), on the basis of the contractual conditions to be respected to release the drawings, a nil fair value was retained for the drawing rights on tranches C and D.

 

Regarding the third tranche (C) of the straight bond issued in December 2021 for €677 thousand (excluding transaction costs), as the drawdown conditions were fulfilled outside the framework of the contract, the company analyzed the drawdown of the third tranche (C) as a new loan contract, with Kreos Capital VI UK. As such, the third tranche (C) is recognized for its fair value on the balance sheet, estimated on the basis of the financing rate deducted from the Kreos VI financing. The entry value of the liabilities of the Tranche C leads to the recognition of a day one Gain of €98 thousand1. Given the unobservable nature of the market rate, the day one gain is deferred on the Company’s balance sheet and recorded as financial liabilities.

 

In accordance with IAS 32, the redemption value of the 2018 BSAs was recognized for €48 thousand1 as a reduction in equity, consistent with the treatment applied to the BSAs issued in 2018.

 

The financial debt components are accounted for according to the principles of amortized cost, based on an average effective interest rate of 26.37% for the non-convertible tranches, and 22.85% for the convertible tranches.

 

Derivative instruments are valued at their Fair Value on the balance sheet, with changes in fair value recorded in the income statement. Fair value is estimated using a binomial valuation model for convertible bonds, and a Black & Scholes valuation model for BSAs.

Note 13: Employee benefit obligation

 

The employee benefit obligation consists of the provision for retirement indemnity, assessed in accordance with the applicable collective bargaining agreement (i.e., the Collective Agreement of the “Pharmaceutical industry”).

 

This commitment only applies to employees under French law. The main actuarial assumptions used for the valuation of the retirement indemnity are as follows:

Note 18: Earnings per share

 

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net earnings attributable to the Company’s shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Instruments giving rights to capital on a deferred basis (BSA, BSPCE, etc.) are considered anti-dilutive because they lead to an increase in earnings per share. As a result, diluted earnings per share are identical to basic earnings per share.

Results COVA study

 

On September 7, 2022, the company published the very promising results of the Phase 2-3 study of the COVA program to treat COVID-19-related respiratory failure. In the primary analysis, Sarconeos (BIO101) was shown to reduce the risk of respiratory failure or early death at 28 days (primary endpoint) by 39% compared to the placebo (15.8% versus 26.0%, adjusted difference of 11.8% in favor of treatment, p=0.07). Sarconeos (BIO101) reduced both the proportion of patients with respiratory failure (12.7% versus 21.5%) and early death (0.8% versus 2.8%). Sarconeos (BIO101) also significantly delayed (p=0.03) adverse progression to respiratory failure or early death over a maximum treatment period of 28 days.

 

Negma Group Ltd litigation

 

The Paris Court of Appeal has:

 

- confirmed the judgment of the Paris Commercial Court of March 16, 2021 (The Company has already executed in 2021 the entire judment);

 

- ordered Biophytis to pay Negma 75,000 euros under article 700 of the Code of Procedure civil as well as costs.

4.Statutory Auditors' limited review report on the half-year condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS standards as adopted in the European Union

This report should be read in conjunction with, and is construed in accordance with, French law and professional auditing standards applicable in France.

 

Biophytis S.A.  

 

Statutory Auditors Review Report on interim condensed consolidated financial statements   Error! Unknown document property name.Error! Unknown document property name.
 
Error! Unknown document property name.
 
To the Chief Executive Officer,

 

In our quality of statutory auditors of Biophytis S.A. and in answer to your request, we conducted a review of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the period from January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022 ("the financial statements"), which are attached to this report.

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of directors. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.

 

We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and the professional doctrine of the French national auditing body (Compagnie nationale des commissaires aux comptes) related to this engagement. A review consists primarily of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters and applying analytical procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed interim financial statements as of September 30,2022 are not prepared in conformity with IAS 34 - standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.

 

Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw your attention to the following matters set out in Notes 2.2 “Going Concern” to the consolidated interim financial statements regarding the assumptions underlying the application of the going concern principle, and 2.7 “Restatement of previously issued financial statements” relating to the restatement of the previously published financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
