​

ProQR Therapeutics N.V. is also statutory director of Stichting Bewaarneming Aandelen ProQR (“ESOP Foundation”) and has full control over this entity. The Company holds an 8% minority shareholding in Yarrow Biotechnology, Inc.

As used in these condensed consolidated financial statements, unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to “ProQR” or the “Company” refer to ProQR Therapeutics N.V. including its subsidiaries and the ESOP Foundation.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of IFRS. Certain disclosures required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. In the opinion of management, all events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the end of the last annual reporting period are disclosed in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

​

​

Revenue is recognized in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers.

​

The Company’s financial results have varied substantially, and are expected to continue to vary, from period to period. The Company believes that its ordinary activities are not linked to any particular seasonal factors.

The Company operates in one reportable segment, which comprises the discovery and development of innovative, RNA based therapeutics.

3. Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

New Standards and Interpretations, which became effective as of January 1, 2021, did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

4. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Research and development expenditures

Research expenditures are currently not capitalized but are reflected in the income statement because the criteria for capitalization are not met. At each balance sheet date, the Company estimates the level of service performed by the vendors and the associated costs incurred for the services performed.

Although we do not expect the estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, the understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and could result in reporting amounts that are too high or too low in any particular period.

Convertible debt

The terms of our convertible debt agreements are evaluated to determine whether the convertible debt instruments contain both liability and equity components, in which case the instrument is a compound financial instrument. Convertible debt agreements are also evaluated to determine whether they contain embedded derivatives, in which case the instrument is a hybrid financial instrument. Judgement is required to determine the classification of such financial instruments based on the terms and conditions of the convertible debt agreements, the currencies in which the debt instruments are denominated and the Company’s functional currency.

Estimation methods are used to determine the fair values of the liability and equity components of compound financial instruments and to determine the fair value of embedded derivatives included in hybrid financial instruments. The determination of the effective interest used for the host contracts of hybrid financial instruments and the liability

​

​

​

components of compound financial instruments is dependent on the outcome of such estimations. Evaluating the reasonableness of these estimations and the assumptions and inputs used in the valuation methods requires a significant amount of judgement and is therefore subject to an inherent risk of error.

5. Cash and Cash Equivalents

At June 30, 2021, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were € 139,442,000 as compared to € 75,838,000 at December 31, 2020. The cash balances are held at banks with investment grade credit ratings. The cash at banks is at full disposal of the Company.

6. Property, plant and equipment

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, property plant and equipment consisted of buildings and leasehold improvements, laboratory equipment and other assets. Buildings and leasehold improvements include a right-of-use asset relating to the lease of our Leiden office and laboratory space, with a carrying amount of € 16,388,000 at June 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020: € 16,775,000).

​

7. Current liabilities

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the other current liabilities consisted principally of accruals for services provided by vendors not yet billed, payroll related accruals and other miscellaneous liabilities.

8. Borrowings

​

​

On December 10, 2018 ProQR was awarded an Innovation credit for the sepofarsen program for LCA 10. Amounts will be drawn under this facility from 2018 through 2022. The total credit of € 4.7 million will be used to conduct the Phase 2/3 clinical study for sepofarsen and to finance efforts to obtain regulatory and ethical market approval (NDA/MAA). The credit, including accrued interest of 10% per annum, is repayable depending on ProQR obtaining market approval for sepofarsen. An amount of € 3.3 million had been received as at June 30, 2021. Accumulated interest amounted to € 0.5 million as at June, 2021. The assets that are co-financed with the granted innovation credit are subject to a right of pledge for the benefit of RVO.

​

Convertible loans

On July 14, 2020, the Company entered into a convertible debt financing agreement with Pontifax Medison Debt Financing. Under the agreement, up to $ 30 million in convertible debt financing has been made available to the Company

​

​

​

in three tranches of $ 10 million each that will mature over a 54 month period and have an interest-only period of 24 months. One tranche of $ 10 million had been drawn down as of June 30, 2021.

A second close of the convertible debt financing agreement was completed on August 6, 2020 with Kreos Capital. Under the second agreement, up to € 15 million in convertible debt financing has been made available to the Company in three tranches of € 5 million each that will mature over a 54 month period and have an interest-only period of 24 months. One tranche of € 5 million had been drawn down as of June 30, 2021.

Pontifax and/or Kreos may elect to convert the outstanding loans into ProQR ordinary shares at any time prior to repayment at a fixed conversion price. ProQR also has the ability to convert the loans into its ordinary shares, at the same conversion price, if the Company’s stock price reaches a pre-determined threshold. In connection with the loan agreement, the Company issued to Pontifax and Kreos warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 302,676 shares of its common stock at a fixed exercise price.

Pontifax’ conversion option and warrants are accounted for as embedded derivatives and are recognized separately from the host contract as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. The host contract is recognized at amortized cost.

The Kreos loan is accounted for as a compound financial instrument. The liability component is recognized at amortized cost. The equity component is initially recognized at fair value as option premium on convertible loan and will not be subsequently remeasured. Kreos’ warrants are accounted for as embedded derivatives and are recognized as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

Convertible loans were issued to Amylon Therapeutics B.V. and are interest-bearing at an average rate of 8% per annum. They are convertible into a variable number of ordinary shares within 36 months at the option of the holder or the Company in case financing criteria are met. Any unconverted loans become payable on demand after 24 – 36 months in equal quarterly terms.

9. Lease liabilities

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, lease liabilities primarily consisted of the Company’s lease of office and laboratory facilities at Zernikedreef in Leiden, the Netherlands.

The lease agreement for our Leiden headquarters, where our main offices and laboratories are located, was put in place on July 1, 2020 and the current lease term is 11 years. The lease agreement may be further extended for subsequent 5 year terms. The carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is disclosed in note 6 Property, plant & equipment.

10. Shareholders’ equity

​

Translation reserve

The translation reserve comprises all foreign currency differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations.

​

Share options

The Company operates an equity-settled share-based compensation plan, which was introduced in 2013. Options may be granted to employees, members of the Supervisory Board, members of the Management Board and consultants. The compensation expenses included in operating costs for this plan in the six month period ended June 30, 2021 were € 2,719,000 (six month period ended June 30, 2020: € 1,673,000), of which € 1,673,000 (six month period ended June 30, 2020: € 1,103,000) was recorded in general and administrative costs and € 1,046,000 (six month period ended June 30, 2020: € 570,000) was recorded in research and development costs.

11. Revenue

In May 2021, the Company entered into an exclusive worldwide license and discovery collaboration for an undisclosed target with Yarrow Biotechnology, Inc. (“Yarrow”). Under the terms of the agreement, ProQR is eligible to receive upfront and milestone payments, and royalties on the net sales of any resulting products. ProQR also received 8% of the shares of Yarrow’s common stock.

​

​

On February 9, 2018, the Company entered into a partnership agreement with Foundation Fighting Blindness (FFB), under which FFB has agreed to provide funding of $7.5 million for the pre-clinical and clinical development of QR-421a for Usher syndrome type 2A targeting mutations in exon 13.

​

Grants are recognized in other income in the same period in which the related R&D costs are recognized.

13. Research and development costs

Research and development costs amount to € 18,640,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 (six month period ended June 30, 2020: € 21,412,000) and are comprised of allocated employee costs including share-based payments, the costs of materials and laboratory consumables, outsourced activities, license and intellectual property costs and other allocated costs.

14. General and administrative costs

General and administrative costs amount to € 7,461,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 (six month period ended June 30, 2020: € 7,364,000).

15. Results related to associates

In January 2021, ProQR’s associate company Wings Therapeutics Inc. merged into Phoenicis Therapeutics Inc. Consequently, Wings Therapeutics Inc. ceased to exist and the related investment was derecognized. ProQR does not have significant influence in Phoenicis Therapeutics Inc. Our interest in Phoenicis is recognized as a financial asset, as disclosed in note 16.

As disclosed in note 11, in May 2021, the Company obtained an 8% share in the common stock of Yarrow Biotechnology, Inc. Although ProQR only owns 8% of Yarrow’s shares, the Company has significant influence over Yarrow by virtue of its right to appoint one of Yarrow’s three board members, as well as its participation in Yarrow’s policy-making process, amongst other factors. As such, our interest in Yarrow amounting to € 224,000 at June 30, 2021 is recognized as an investment in associate.

The results related to associates for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 amount to a loss on derecognition of Wings Therapeutics Inc. of € 107,000. The results related to associates for the six month period ended June 30, 2020 amount to a loss of € 186,000 and consist of our share of the net losses of Wings Therapeutics Inc.

16. Gain on recognition of financial asset

In January 2021, Wings Therapeutics Inc. merged into Phoenicis Therapeutics Inc. by means of a non-cash transaction. ProQR holds a 3.9% interest in Phoenicis Therapeutics Inc.

The gain on recognition of financial asset for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 of € 621,000 relates to the gain realized on our investment in the equity instruments of Phoenicis Therapeutics Inc. The Company elected to recognize subsequent changes in the fair value of our investment in Phoenicis in Other Comprehensive Income. There have been no changes in the fair value of our investment in Phoenicis since the initial recognition.

17. Income taxes

The current income tax liability amounts to € nil at June 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020: € nil). No significant temporary differences exist between accounting and tax results. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on future earnings, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Accordingly, the Company has not yet recognized any deferred tax asset related to operating losses.

About Leber Congenital Amaurosis 10 (LCA10)

Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is the most common cause of blindness due to genetic disease in children. It consists of a group of diseases of which LCA10 is the most frequent and one of the most severe forms. LCA10 is caused by mutations in the CEP290 gene, of which the p.Cys998X mutation has the highest prevalence. LCA10 leads to early loss of vision causing most people to lose their sight in the first few years of life. To date, there are no treatments approved that treat the underlying cause of the disease. Approximately 2,000 people in the Western world have LCA10 because of this mutation.

About Sepofarsen

Sepofarsen (QR-110) is being evaluated in the pivotal Phase 2/3 Illuminate trial and is a first-in-class investigational RNA therapy designed to address the underlying cause of Leber congenital amaurosis 10 due to the p.Cys998X mutation (also known as the c.2991+1655A>G mutation) in the CEP290 gene. The p.Cys998X mutation leads to aberrant splicing of the mRNA and non-functional CEP290 protein. Sepofarsen is designed to enable normal splicing, resulting in restoration of normal (wild type) CEP290 mRNA and subsequent production of functional CEP290 protein. Sepofarsen is intended to be administered through intravitreal injections in the eye and has been granted orphan drug designation in the United States and the European Union and received fast-track designation and rare pediatric disease designation from the FDA as well as access to the PRIME scheme by the EMA.

​

​

About Usher Syndrome Type 2 and Non-Syndromic Retinitis Pigmentosa

Usher syndrome is the leading cause of combined deafness and blindness. People with Usher syndrome type 2a are usually born with hearing loss and start to have progressive vision loss during adulthood. The vision loss can also occur without hearing loss in a disease called non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa. Usher syndrome type 2a and non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa can be caused by mutations in the USH2A gene. To date, there are no pharmaceutical treatments approved or in clinical development that treat the vision loss associated with mutations in USH2A.

About QR-421a

QR-421a is a first-in-class investigational RNA therapy designed to address the underlying cause of vision loss in Usher syndrome type 2a and non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa due to mutations in exon 13 of the USH2A gene. QR-421a is designed to restore functional usherin protein by using an exon skipping approach with the aim to stop or reverse vision loss in patients. QR-421a is intended to be administered through intravitreal injections in the eye and has been granted orphan drug designation in the US and the European Union and received fast-track and rare pediatric disease designations from the FDA.

About Autosomal Dominant Retinitis Pigmentosa (adRP)

Autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa, or adRP, is a severe and rare genetic disease that causes progressive problems in night vision during childhood, leading to visual field loss and frequently resulting in blindness in mid adulthood. In the United States, the most prevalent mutation associated with adRP is the P23H point mutation (also known as the c.68C>A mutation) in the rhodopsin (RHO) gene and affects approximately 2,500 people. This mutation causes misfolding of the rhodopsin protein that becomes toxic to the photoreceptor cells and at the same time diminishes the function of the wild type allele. Over time this results in cell death and progressive vision loss. There are currently no therapies approved or in clinical development for P23H adRP. A natural history study in patients with P23H adRP has been conducted.

​

About QR-1123

QR-1123 is being evaluated in the Phase 1/2 Aurora trial and is a first-in-class investigational RNA therapy designed to treat adRP due to the P23H mutation in the RHO gene. QR-1123 was discovered and developed by Ionis Pharmaceuticals using Ionis’ proprietary antisense technology. The therapy aims to inhibit the formation of the mutated toxic version of the rhodopsin protein by specifically binding the mutated RHO mRNA. Binding of QR-1123 causes

​

​

allele specific knockdown of the mutant mRNA by a mechanism called RNase H mediated cleavage without affecting the normal RHO mRNA. QR-1123 is intended to be administered through intravitreal injections in the eye. QR-1123 has been granted Orphan Drug designation in the United States and received Fast Track designation from the FDA.

About Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD)

Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) type 3 is a common genetic disease that leads to progressive degeneration of the corneal endothelium resulting in corneal edema, scarring and vision loss. Blisters on the cornea are a major cause of pain in patients with advanced FECD. Currently there are no treatment options available to stop or slow down FECD and disease management is aimed to reduce symptoms. The only effective therapy for late-stage FECD is corneal transplantation. The availability of donors, risk of rejection, and the inherent risk of such surgeries are some of the limitations of this option. FECD is a common disorder affecting more than 4% of people over the age of 40 in the United States, with similar numbers reported for other parts of the World. Trinucleotide repeat (TNR) expansion mutations in the TCF4 gene are a common cause of FECD. In people of European descent, around 75% of FECD patients have TNR expansions in TCF4.

About QR-504a

QR-504a is a first-in-class investigational RNA therapy designed to address the underlying cause of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) due to trinucleotide repeat (TNR) expansion mutations in the TCF4 gene. The TNR expansions cause the TCF4 RNA to aggregate in the corneal endothelial cells forming the characteristic nuclear RNA foci and eventually resulting in FECD. QR-504a is designed to target the TNRs in the TCF4 RNA. The aim is to reduce aggregation and the formation of RNA foci to prevent or stop corneal degeneration in patients with FECD. QR-504a is intended to be administered through intravitreal injections in the eye.
