Advanced Accelerator Applications SA

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Six Months and Three Months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

 

 

Advanced Accelerator Applications S.A. (“AAA” or the “Company”) is incorporated in France. Its registered office is at 20 rue Rudolf Diesel, 01630 Saint Genis Pouilly, France. The condensed consolidated financial statements include those of the Company and its subsidiaries (“the Group”). Each company is referred to as a “Group entity”). The condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on August 30, 2016.

 

1.Description of the group’s business

 

AAA is a radiopharmaceutical company founded in 2002 that develops, produces and commercializes molecular nuclear medicine (“MNM”) diagnostic and therapeutic products. MNM is a medical specialty that uses trace amounts of radioactive compounds to create functional images of organs and lesions and to treat diseases such as cancer. The Company has a portfolio of seven diagnostic positron emission tomography (“PET”) and single-photon emission computed tomography (“SPECT”) products. PET and SPECT are imaging techniques in molecular nuclear diagnostics (“MND”) with applications in clinical oncology, cardiology, neurology and inflammatory/infectious diseases. AAA’s leading diagnostic product is Gluscan, our branded 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (“FDG”) PET imaging agent. Gluscan assists in the diagnosis of serious medical conditions, primarily in oncology, by assessing glucose metabolism. In June 2016, AAA received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for NETSPOTTM (formerly known as Somakit-TATE) for the localization of somatostatin receptor positive neuroendocrine tumors (“NETs”) in adult and pediatric patients using PET. AAA’s primary development focus is on product candidates in the field of molecular nuclear therapy (“MNT”). AAA’s lead therapeutic candidate, Lutathera, is a novel compound that it is currently in development for the treatment of Neuro Endocrine Tumors (“NETs”), a significant unmet medical need. Lutathera is a Lu-177 labeled somatostatin analogue peptide that has received orphan drug designation from the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) and the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). Lutathera was granted Fast-Track designation by the FDA for the treatment of inoperable progressive midgut NETs. It is also currently administered on a compassionate use and named patient basis for the treatment of NETs in ten European countries and in the US. In April 2016, AAA completed its New Drug Application (“NDA”) and Marketing Authorization Application (“MAA”) submissions to the FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”). The Accelerated Assessment from the EMA was granted on April 26, 2016 and the FDA granted Priority Review in July 2016.

 

AAA continues to build upon its foundation and expertise in MNM by developing additional diagnostic and therapeutic candidates. Key diagnostic pipeline candidates include Somakit-TOC, a PET diagnostic for NETS and Annexin V-128, a SPECT product candidate for the imaging of apoptotic and necrotic lesions with potential applications in a broad range of indications. Other product candidates being developed as theragnostic pairs (complementary diagnostics and treatments targeting the same receptor) include PSMA-SR6, a selective, second-generation PSMA-targeted ligand and NeoBOMB1 a unique, new generation antagonist bombesin analogue targeting GRPR-expressing malignancies.

 

In addition to its own portfolio of PET, SPECT and Therapy products and product candidates, AAA manufactures several diagnostic products and product candidates for third parties, including GE Healthcare and Eli Lilly in Europe. AAA also manufactures and distributes IASOflu (bone metastases), IASOdopa (Parkinson’s disease), and IASOcholine (prostate cancer) under a license from IASON.

 

9 

 

These products and product candidates are for the most part manufactured in one or several of AAA’s 21 production sites.

 

2.Major events

 

2.1.Acquisitions

 

2.1.1.Acquisitions for the period 2016

 

Acquisition of the PetNet business in Germany

 

AAA Germany signed an asset purchase agreement in May 2016 to acquire, out of an insolvency procedure, assets and rights to operate F18 production sites in Munich and in Erlangen (both in Germany). The contract in Munich requires AAA Germany to provide a regular supply of F18 products to the owner of the site, the Klinikum of the University of Munich (KUM), for which AAA will be paid a guaranteed revenue stream until July 2028. The transaction closed in June.

 

The main objectives of the transaction are to strengthen the Company’s presence in the German market and to potentially gain access to interesting R&D activities of the KUM in radiotherapy with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and Lutetium.

 

Please refer to note 5.1.1 for details on the acquired business.

 

Acquisition of the IDB Group

 

AAA acquired 100% of the shares of the IDB Group, incorporated in The Netherlands, in January 2016. The IDB Group consists of six entities in The Netherlands and one in Belgium. Their business activities include the development, production and wholesale of medical products and more specifically radiopharmaceutical products and medical and industrial radioactive substances. This transaction contributes to AAA’s international expansion and strengthens AAA’s global supply chain in preparation for the commercial launch of Lutathera. Acquiring the IDB Group provides AAA with a reliable supply of Lu-177 for the production of Lutathera and a business for other future product candidates.

 

Please ref to note 5.1.1 for details on the acquired entity.

 

2.1.2.Acquisitions for the period 2015

 

There were no acquisitions in 2015.

 

2.2.Other significant events of the first six months of 2016

 

Product development

 

In January 2016, AAA announced the signing of an exclusive license agreement with Johns Hopkins University to develop a PSMA receptor ligand in prostate cancer. This agreement enables AAA to broaden its pipeline with PSMA, which could be used to treat, image, monitor and stage prostate cancer, utilizing a clinical development strategy similar to Lutathera and Somakit.

 

AAA entered, in January 2016, into a non-exclusive agreement with Zevacor for the preparation and delivery of SomaKit-TATE (now marketed as NETSPOTTM) in the US.

 

Additional Lutathera NETTER-1 Phase III data were presented on January 22, 2016, at the 2016 Gastrointestinal Cancer Symposium (ASCO GI) in San Francisco, California and on March 11, 2016, at the 13th Annual European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) conference in Barcelona, Spain.

 

In March 2016, AAA opened an expanded access program (“EAP”) in the U.S. for Lutathera. Through the program, Lutathera is being made available for eligible patients suffering from inoperable, somatostatin receptor positive, midgut carcinoid tumors, and progressive under somatostatin analogue therapy.

 

10 

 

At the end of April 2016 AAA had completed the rolling Lutathera NDA submission to the FDA and it had also submitted a Lutathera MAA to the EMA.

 

The Accelerated Assessment from the EMA was granted on April 26, 2016 and the FDA granted Priority Review in July 2016.

 

On June 1, 2016, the FDA approved NETSPOTTM (formerly known as Somakit-TATE) for the localization of somatostatin receptor positive NETs in adult and pediatric patients using PET. NETSPOTTM received approval following a Priority Review from the FDA. NETSPOTTM is a kit for the preparation of gallium Ga 68 dotatate injection. NETSPOTTM is the first approved drug using gallium Ga 68 as a positron emitter. Gallium Ga 68 dotatate received Orphan Drug Designation from both the FDA and EMA in March 2014. NETSPOTTM is being commercialized in two forms in the U.S.: As a kit for reconstitution using a gallium Ga 68 generator, and as NETSPOTTM Injection, a ready-to-use dose delivered from a local radiopharmacy in selected metropolitan areas. NETSPOTTM is currently approved for use with the GalliaPharm® Ga 68 generator from Eckert & Ziegler.

 

In June, AAA also announced the expansion of its pipeline of theragnostic products with the addition of NeoBOMB1, a novel GRPR antagonist. NeoBOMB1 is a unique new generation antagonist bombesin analogue, which binds selectively and with high affinity to the GRP receptors expressed by several types of tumors, including prostate, breast and gastro-intestinal stromal tumors. GRP receptors are considered relevant molecular targets for both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes in those cancers. In vitro and in vivo pre-clinical models have demonstrated that NeoBOMB1 has desirable imaging properties as well as a favorable pharmacokinetic and safety profile. NeoBOMB1 was originally developed by Marion De Jong of Erasmus University Medical Center and Theadosia Maina and Berthold Nock of Demokritos. AAA has acquired the rights to develop NeoBOMB1 and is currently planning three clinical studies in different indications including gastrointestinal stromal tumors, prostate cancer and breast cancer.

On May 26, Mr. Francois Nader, M.D., MBA was elected by the shareholders to join the Company Board of Directors as an Independent Non-Executive Director. He replaces Mrs. Muriel de Szilbereky.

 

2.3.Events after the reporting date

 

AAA USA’s first distribution and future production site in Millburn, NJ, has been established in July 2016. The facility is made up of 60% manufacturing space and 40% office space, with a capacity to accommodate fifty employees. Initially as of July, fifteen employees are working in the facility, including manufacturing, quality, sales and marketing, market access, and administrative functions. The Millburn site is being qualified for production of Lutathera and will be submitted for FDA approval immediately following the approval of Lutathera.

 

In early July, the first patient was treated with Lutathera under the U.S. Expanded Access Program.

 

In late July, AAA announced a clinical trial agreement with the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health, whereby NCI will sponsor and conduct a study of Lutathera in patients with inoperable pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma.

 

3.Significant accounting policies

 

3.1.Statement of Compliance

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

 

11 

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are presented and have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, regarding interim financial reporting information. This standard stipulates that condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the information required under IFRS for the preparation of annual consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements must therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Group’s activity related to the three and six months period ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 does not show any significant seasonal effect.

 

3.2.Basis of preparation

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months period ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are presented in Euro, the functional currency of the Company, rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated.

 

The condensed consolidated statement of income is presented on the basis of a classification of income and expenses by nature.

 

The condensed consolidated statement of cash flows has been prepared according to the indirect method.

 

3.3.IFRS standards

 

New currently effective requirements

 

The accounting policies are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, as described in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, with the exception of the adoption as of January 1, 2016 of the standards and interpretations described below:

 

a)Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle

 

b)Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38, clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortization

 

c)Amendments to IFRS 11, accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations

 

d)Amendment to IAS 1, disclosure initiative

 

The adoption of the above standards did not result in any significant impact in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

The nature and effects of the changes are explained below.

 

a)Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle

 

b)It includes amendments to a number of IFRSs. The application of these amendments has had no material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognized in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

 

c)Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38, clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortization

 

d)The amendments clarify that a revenue-based method is not considered to be an appropriate manifestation of consumption.

 

e)Amendments to IFRS 11, accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations

 

f)The amendments clarify that the acquirer of an interest in a joint operation in which the activity constitutes a business, as defined in IFRS 3, is required to apply all of the principles on business combinations accounting in IFRS 3 and other IFRSs with the exception of those principles that conflict with the guidance in IFRS 11.

 

g)Amendment to IAS 1, disclosure initiative

 

12 

 

h)The amendment aims at clarifying IAS 1 to address perceived impediments to preparers exercising their judgement in presenting their financial reports.

 

Forthcoming requirements

 

The Group has not applied the following new and revised IFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:

 

Amendment to IAS 7 Disclosure initiative (1)
Amendment to IAS 12 Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses (1)
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2)
IFRS 15 Revenue from contract with customers (2)
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (3)
IFRS 16 Leases (4)

 

(1)Effective for annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2017, with earlier application permitted

 

(2)Effective for annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with earlier application permitted for IFRS 9 and IFRS 15

 

(3)Effective date of this amendment has been postponed indefinitely, with earlier application permitted

 

(4)Effective for annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2019, with earlier adoption permitted if IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers has also been applied

 

These standards are further detailed below:

 

IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows requires an entity to present a statement of cash flows as an integral part of its primary financial statements. Cash flows are classified and presented into operating activities (either using the 'direct' or 'indirect' method), investing activities or financing activities, with the latter two categories generally presented on a gross basis.

 

As of 1 January 2017, the entities shall provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities.

 

The Amendment to IAS 12 will clarify whether an unrealized loss on a debt instrument measured at fair value gives rise to a deductible temporary difference when the holder expects to recover the carrying amount of the asset by holding it to maturity and collecting all the contractual cash flows.

 

IFRS 9, published in July 2014, replaces the existing guidance in IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets, and new general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward the guidance and recognition and derecognition of financial instruments from IAS 39.

 

IFRS 9 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted.

 

IFRS 15 provides a single, principles based five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers.

 

The five steps in the model are:

 

·Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer;

 

·Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

 

·Step 3: Determine the transaction price;

 

·Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contracts;

 

·Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

13 

 

 

Under IFRS 15, an entity recognizes revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied.

 

IFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and the related Interpretations when it becomes effective.

 

Guidance is provided on topics such as the point at which revenue is recognized, accounting for variable consideration, costs of fulfilling and obtaining a contract and various related matters. New disclosures about revenue are also introduced.

 

IFRS 15 will become effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted.

 

Most of the Group’s revenue is derived from the sales of diagnostic products. For such products, the transfer of control occurs when the batch is delivered to the customer, which is also the date on which the sales revenue is recognized in the statement of income. The application of IFRS 15 is not expected to have any significant impact on the revenue recognition for these products.

 

IFRS 16 establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases, with the objective of ensuring that lessees and lessors provide relevant information that faithfully represents those transactions.

 

IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating lease or finance lease for a lessee. Instead, all leases are treated in a similar way to finance leases applying IAS 17. Leases are capitalized recognizing the present value of the lease payments and showing them either as lease assets (right-of-use assets) or together with property, plant and equipment. If lease payments are made over time, the Company also recognizes a financial liability representing its obligation to make future lease payments.

 

IFRS changes the nature of expenses related to off-balance sheet leases. It replaces the typical straight line operating lease expense with a depreciation charge for lease assets (included within operating costs) and an interest expense on lease liabilities (included within finance costs).

 

Accounting exemptions apply to short-term lease and to leases of low-value assets.

 

The potential impact of the application of these standards is currently under review by the Group, especially IFRS 16 and IFRS 15.

 

3.4.Foreign currency translation

 

In preparing the financial statements of the Group, the financial statements of subsidiaries, which report in a currency other than the Euro, are translated to Euro as follows:

 

·Assets and liabilities, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on a business combination, are translated into Euros at the foreign exchange rates at the reporting date.

 

·Income statement items are translated into Euros at the exchange rate, which represents the average exchange rate for the period.

 

·All resulting translation differences are recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

3.5.Changes in scope and method of consolidation

 

On January 6, 2016 and May 18, 2016 AAA respectively acquired the IDB Group and the PetNet business in Germany as explained in notes 2.1.1. and 5.1.1. These businesses have been consolidated since their dates of acquisition.

 

There were no changes in the scope and method of consolidation in 2015.

4.3.2.Options

 

3,947,625 stock options were granted to employees over ordinary shares in the Company in November 2015. Movements in stock options in the six months ended June 30, 2016, were as follows:

 

   Number of options  Weighted average exercise price
At January 1, 2016  3,947,625  $8.00
Options granted in the period  -  -
Options exercised in the period  -  -
Options lapsed in the period  -  -
Options forfeited in the period  87,500  $8.00
At June 30, 2016  3,860,125  $8.00

 

The options outstanding at June 30, 2016 had an exercise price of US$8.00 (€7.45 based on an exchange rate at the grant date) and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 9.36 years. No options were exercisable at June 30, 2016.

 

4.3.3.Warrants

 

The 225,000 warrants granted in 2015 to six Board members for a consideration of €0.80 per warrant are exercisable immediately following the grant date and lapse after a period of 18 months.

 

17 

 

Movements in equity-settled warrants over ordinary shares in the Company in the period were as follows:

 

   Number of warrants  Weighted average exercise price
At January 1, 2016  225,000  €6.10
Warrants granted in the period  -  -
Warrants lapsed in the year  -  -
Warrants exercised in the year  -  -
At June 30, 2016  225,000  €6.10

 

225,000 warrants are exercisable at reporting date.

 

AAA shareholders approved on May 26, 2016 a warrant plan for the seven non-executive board members and delegated authorization for its execution to the Board. There are 149’800 warrants available in the plan. The purchase of one warrant entitles to purchase one share. The shareholder resolution states that the Board has 18 months to use the delegation and the beneficiaries of the plan have 3 years to exercise their right to buy shares should they decide to so. The Board made use of the shareholder delegation on May 26 and decided to put in place the warrant plan. The warrant subscription price and the share exercise price were determined with the support of an external valuation specialist.

 

The fair value of the warrants was estimated to be USD 6.33 (€ 5.66 at the exchange rate at May 26, 2016) per warrant by a third party using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following significant assumptions:

 

Term of option (years) 3
Risk-free interest rate 1.0895%
Volatility 57.0%

 

As the consideration paid by the grantees represented the fair value of the warrants at the grant date, no related expense has been recognized in the consolidated statement of income (loss) for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

 

The subscription period has not been opened on August 30. As of August 30, 2016 no warrants have been subscribed.

 

4.4.Other operating expenses

 

Other operating expenses principally concern non-inventoried purchases, consumable equipment & supplies, travelling expenses, communication costs, consulting and other external services relating to R&D, and other professional services:

(1) The decrease for €1,963 thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to six months ended June 30, 2015 is mainly due to phasing of R&D services expenses.

 

(2) The increase for €633 thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 is mainly explained by the registration fees for €510 thousand for Somakit and Lutathera.

 

(3) The increase for €560 thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to six months ended June 30, 2015 is explained by the increase in insurance costs and the costs related to the Millburn facility.

 

(4) The increase for €860 thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to six months ended June 30, 2015 is explained by the increase in Lutathera communication costs.

 

The IDB acquisition adds operating expenses of €847 thousand and of 389 thousand in the six months and three months periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

(2)The change relates primarily to the estimated fair values of the contingent considerations payable to the former owners of BioSynthema (now Advanced Accelerator Applications USA, Inc.) and Atreus (now Advanced Accelerator Applications Canada Inc.). Refer to note 5.11 for further details

 

(3)The net foreign exchange loss is mainly due to the conversion of the US$ cash position into our reporting currency. The loss is partially compensated by the realized gain of €896 thousand on foreign exchange hedging contracts

4.8.Income taxes

 

Income tax expense represents the best estimate of the average annual effective tax rate expected for the full year, applied to the pre-tax income of the six months period ended June 30, 2016.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2016 the consolidated income tax profit amounted to €0.45 million compared to an income tax expense for €0.69 million for the same period in 2015. The variation is mainly due the €1.1 million deferred tax income recognized on the tax loss for the period for Advanced Accelerator Applications USA Inc. The deferred tax income was recognized because it can be utilized against the existing available taxable temporary differences.

5.1.1.Acquisition of business in the six months ended June 30, 2016

 

Acquisition of the PetNet business in Germany

 

AAA Germany signed in May 2016 an asset purchase agreement to acquire, out of an insolvency procedure, assets and rights to operate F18 production sites in Munich and in Erlangen (both in Germany). The contract in Munich requires AAA Germany to supply F18 products to the owner of the site, the Klinikum of the University of Munich (KUM). AAA will be paid a guaranteed revenue stream until July 2028 for this supply.

 

In June 2016, AAA Germany acquired from PetNet Solutions GmbH, a cooling system, which is installed in the Munich site.

 

The main objectives of these acquisitions are to improve the Company’s competitive position in the German market and to potentially gain access to interesting new product development efforts, which are fully in line with AAA’s own R&D efforts.

 

The total consideration for the purchase of all assets is €2.22 million. It is an asset deal, in accordance with IFRS 3. AAA also agreed, with the insolvency administrators, to pay the salaries of the persons employed at these two sites as of May 2016.

Acquisition of the IDB Group

 

AAA acquired 100% of the shares of the IDB Group, incorporated in The Netherlands, in January 2016. The IDB Group consists of six entities in The Netherlands and one in Belgium. Their business activities include the development, production and wholesale of medical products and more specifically radiopharmaceutical products and medical and industrial radioactive substances. This transaction contributes to AAA’s international expansion and strengthens AAA’s global supply chain in preparation for the commercial launch of Lutathera. Acquiring the IDB Group provides AAA with a reliable supply of Lu-177 for the production of Lutathera and a business for other future product candidates.

AAA paid, also in April 2016 €0.3 million based on the net financial position at the acquisition date.

A Goodwill has been recognized in the acquisition of the IDB Group because the consideration paid included expectations regarding future revenue growth, ease of market development and increased control of distribution channels. These benefits are not recognized separately from Goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill resulting from this acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

The amounts of revenue and profit or loss of the acquiree since the acquisition date included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the six months period ended June 30, 2016 are €4 million and €0.58 million respectively.

 

As of June 30, 2016 the purchase price allocation is considered preliminary. The initial accounting for this acquisition may be revised within one year following the acquisition date should new information on facts and circumstances that existed at the date of acquisition being obtained.

5.2.Goodwill and Other intangible assets

 

5.2.1.Change in the period

 

The carrying amount of the Goodwill and other intangible assets was €54.5 million at December 31, 2015 and increased to €79.7 million at June 30, 2016, the change is mainly attributable to the acquisition of the IDB Group for €25.1 million and to translation differences.

 

5.2.2.Allocation of Goodwill and Other non-amortized intangible assets to Cash-Generating Units (CGUs)

 

The Group has allocated Goodwill and other intangible assets to its CGUs. The CGUs correspond to each of the countries in which the Group operates. The carrying amount of goodwill and other non-amortized intangible assets allocated is as follows:

Total        24,517   17,040                (1,855)  39,702

 

Goodwill increased from €22.7 million at December 31, 2015 to €33.4 million at June 30, 2016. The increase is due to the acquisition of the IDB Group for €10.8 million and to translation differences on the goodwill of the CGUs in Israel, Canada and in the USA.

 

5.2.3.Impairment review of intangible assets

 

The carrying amounts of Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are reviewed for impairment annually, at year end, and whenever events or circumstances indicate that assets may be impaired. An impairment charge is recognized when the recoverable value of an intangible becomes lower than its carrying amount.

 

No trigger event occurred during the period that would indicate the need for impairment.

 

Please refer to year-end financial statements for details on the latest annual impairment tests that were carried out, including sensitivity analysis and principal assumptions used.

 

5.3.Property, plants and equipment

 

For the six months period ended June 30, 2016, the Group spent approximately €4.8 million on the new site currently under construction in the USA and approximately €2.6 million on new equipment and replacements investments in its existing sites in Spain, France, Italy and Germany. 

 

5.4.Other non-current assets

 

The other non-current assets include the French R&D tax credit receivable and the French employment incentive tax credit receivable that the Tax Authorities will repay after one year or more. Following the increase in Group activities the Company is not eligible any more to the accelerated repayment of its tax credit receivables. For each given year, the R&D tax credit and French employment incentive tax credit receivable will be paid by the Tax Authorities with a three years delay.

(1)The Group is obligated to pay contingent considerations to the former owners of acquired companies, as defined under each acquisition agreement

 

(2)The other current liabilities include mainly deferred income

 

Debt due to former owners of acquired companies

 

To the former BioSynthema Inc.owners:

 

The principal contingent consideration concerns Advanced Accelerator Applications USA, Inc. The initial contingent consideration comprised four equal cash payments and four payments to be made in shares of the Company (number of shares is subject to market value at respective dates) upon reaching certain milestones as defined in the contract. These milestones are based on different stages of the development of Lutathera.

 

As of June 30, 2016 the first two milestones have been met and paid.

 

The contingent consideration also includes a variable tranche based on a percentage of future Lutathera worldwide sales. At June 30, 2016 the main assumptions used in calculating the amount of this fixed and variable contingent consideration are the following:

 

·Future sales of Lutathera: determined using the most recent Group business plans; and

 

·Probability of occurrence: 80% at June 30, 2016 (80 % at December 31, 2015) for sales and milestones which have not yet been reached. This percentage was estimated by the Company based on the current stage of the product development; and

 

·Discount rate of 10%: this reflects both the time value of money and the estimated risk of not realizing the future cash flows.

 

On this basis, the contingent consideration amounted to €34.5 million and €33.8 million, at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The resulting finance loss of €0.7 million over the six months period is mainly due to the exchange rate variation of the US$ to the € and the unwinding of the discounting.

 

If the probability of occurrence was to be increased to 100%, the contingent consideration would have amounted to €43.1 million at June 30, 2016. An increase or decrease of 1 percentage point in the discount rate would respectively lead to a decrease of €1.8 million or to an increase of €1.9 million in the contingent consideration liability. An increase or decrease of 5 percentage point in exchange rate used in the calculation would respectively lead to a decrease of €1.1 million or to an increase of €1.3 million in the contingent consideration liability. Other items could have an impact on the contingent consideration such as the timing of market authorization in the various jurisdictions or the future selling prices.

 

27 

 

To the former Atreus Pharmaceuticals Corporation owners:

 

On December 18, 2014, the Group acquired the remaining 49.9% non-controlling interest in Atreus Pharmaceuticals Corporation. As a result of this acquisition, AAA holds 100% of Atreus Pharmaceuticals Corporation. The consideration to be paid for this acquisition is composed of fixed anniversary and milestone payments prior to having obtained marketing authorization for Annexin and of a contingent consideration based on low single-digit percentage royalties on sales of Annexin for duration of 10 years following Marketing Authorization.

 

At June 30, 2016, the main assumptions used in calculating the amount of this fixed and variable contingent consideration are the following:

 

·Regulatory approval obtained in 2019

 

·Future sales of Annexin based on the most recent business plan;

 

·Probability of occurrence: 100% for 2016 payments of anniversary and milestone payments, 60% for 2017 and 2018 payments of anniversary and milestone payments and then 30% for further payments of anniversary and milestone payments and of 30% for royalty payments; These percentages were estimated by the Company based on the current stage of product development; and

 

·Discount rate of 10% to reflect the time value of money and the estimated risk of not realizing future cash flows.

 

On this basis, the contingent consideration amounted to €6.9 million and €6.3 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 respectively. The resulting finance loss of €0.6 million over the six months period is mainly due to the exchange rate variation of the CA$ to the € and the unwinding of the discounting.

 

If the probability of occurrence was to be increased to 100%, the contingent consideration would have amounted to €21.6 million at June 30, 2016.

 

An increase or decrease of 1 percentage point in the discount rate would respectively lead to a decrease of €0.6 million or to an increase of €0.6 million in the contingent consideration liability.

 

An increase or decrease of 5 percentage point in the CA$ against the € would lead to a decrease or an increase of €0.3 million in the contingent consideration liability, respectively. Other items could have an impact on the contingent consideration such as the timing of market authorization in the various jurisdictions or the future selling prices.

 

To owners of other acquired companies:

 

The remaining debt to former owners of acquired companies of €3.9 million as at June 30, 2016 (€2.3 million as at December 31, 2015) comprises €1.75 million for the acquisition on January 6, 2016 of the IDB Group, €1 million (€1 million as at December 31, 2015) for the acquisition of Cadisa and Barnatron in 2012 and €1.2 million (€1.3 million as at December 31, 2015) for the acquisition of the Steripet business of GE Healthcare S.r.L in Italy in 2014. Payment made during the six months period at June 30, 2016 is €0.2 million for the Steripet business of GE Healthcare S.r.L in Italy, and €2.7 million for the acquisition of the IDB Group. The variation of the remaining debt is due to the addendum to the share purchase agreement signed with the former owners in June 2016 and to the unwinding of discounting.
