The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim periods or for the year ended December 31, 2021. The condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2020 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the disclosures required by IFRS for annual financial statements.

7. LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ORDINARY EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE PARENT

The calculation of the basic loss per share amount is based on the loss for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent, and the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 277,829,268 and 226,764,437 in issue during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The calculation of the diluted earnings per share amount is based on the loss for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent. The weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation is the number of ordinary shares in issue during the period, as used in the basic earnings per share calculation, and the weighted average number of ordinary shares assumed to have been issued at no consideration on the deemed exercise of all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

No adjustment was made to the basic loss per share amounts presented for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 in respect of a dilution as the impact of the outstanding share options and warrant had an anti-dilutive effect on the basic loss per share amounts presented.

The calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are based on:

On March 30, 2020 and on April 16, 2020, the Company issued a total of 20,591,629 Series A convertible redeemable preferred shares (the “Series A Preference Shares”) to independent third parties, at the price of US$7.792 per share for an aggregate purchase consideration of US$160.5 million.

The key terms of the Series A Preference Shares are summarized as follows:

(1) Dividends rights

Each Series A Preference Shares holder is entitled to dividends at the rate of 8% of the Series A original issue price per annum per share shall accrue on such Series A Preference Shares. Such dividends (i) will be declared by the board of directors and paid to the holders of Series A Preference Shares each fiscal quarter, or (ii) if not declared and, with respect to any fiscal quarter, paid to the holders of Series A Preference Shares within thirty days after such fiscal quarter, such undeclared and unpaid dividends will accrue day to day from the last day of such fiscal quarter, will be cumulative and compound annually, and will only be paid upon a redemption or liquidation event or converted into ordinary shares upon an initial public offering.

(2) Conversion rights

Optional conversion

Each Series A Preference Share is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time after the date of issuance of such Series A Preference Share, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable ordinary shares as is determined by dividing the Series A original issue price, by a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) the conversion price at the time in effect for such Series A Preference Share and (ii) the price per share that equals the lowest net price per ordinary share received by the Company in a public offering that is not a Qualified IPO.

Automatic conversion

14. CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SHARES (CONTINUED)

(3) Redemption rights

At any time on or after the occurrence of a Trigger Event (as defined below), each investor may require the Company to redeem the Series A Preference Shares issued to the investor and require the Company to immediately pay the investor an amount equal to the redemption price, plus 8% annualized. A “Trigger Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events: (A) as of September 30, 2021, the Company has not consummated a qualified IPO, (B) the Company consummates a non-Qualified IPO, (C) the License Agreement (i) is terminated as a result of a material breach by any party thereto or (ii) is amended in such a way that with (or without) the passage of time would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the value of the Company or the Series A Preference Shares in any material respect and (D) there occurs or it is discovered that there is a material adverse issue with respect to the patents, know-how and all other intellectual property owned or controlled by the Company or its affiliates and licensed to a customer under a license and collaboration agreement, which is not capable of being cured within a reasonable period.

(4) Liquidation

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (collectively, a “Liquidation Event”), before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Ordinary Shares, the holders of Series A Preference Shares will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution for each Series A Preference Share, an amount per Series A Preference Share equal to the sum of (i) the Series A Original Issue Price, plus (ii) any accrued but unpaid Dividends on each Series A Preference Share. If, upon any such Liquidation Event, the assets of the Company will be insufficient to make payment in full to all holders of Series A Preference Shares, then such assets (or consideration) will be distributed among the holders of Series A Preference Shares at the time outstanding, ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

All Series A Preferred Shares were converted into ordinary shares of the Company and all accrued but unpaid dividends were settled in the form of ordinary shares upon qualified IPO in June 2020. A fair value loss of US$80.0 million was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to change in fair value upon conversion.

15. WARRANT LIABILITY

On May 13, 2021, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with an institutional investor relating to the offer and sale of 20,809,850 ordinary shares of the Company, par value US$0.0001 per share, in a private placement at a purchase price of US$14.41625 per ordinary share (the “PIPE Offering”). The total proceeds from the PIPE Offering is US$300.0 million. Pursuant to the subscription agreement, the Company also agreed to issue and sell concurrently with the PIPE offering a warrant (the “Warrant”) exercisable for up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 ordinary shares (such transaction together with the PIPE Offering, the “Transactions”). The Transactions have been closed on May 21, 2021(the “Closing Date”). The Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, at an exercise price of US$20.00 per ordinary share, until the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date.

The Warrant is accounted for as a financial liability because the Warrant may be net share settleable at the holder’s option.

A fair value loss of US$37.4 million is recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to change in fair value.

Pursuant to the license and collaboration agreement entered into with a collaborator, the Company is entitled to receive funding advances from the collaborator when certain operational conditions are met. As a result, the Company took an initial funding advance amounting to US$17.4 million on June 18, 2021, and an additional funding advance on September 17, 2021, amounting to US$53.1 million, by reducing the same amount of other payables due to the collaborator (collectively, the “Funding Advances”).

This Funding Advances are accounted for as interest-bearing borrowings funded by the collaborator, constituted by a principal and applicable interests upon such principal. The respective interest rate of each borrowing is based on the average annual London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) for U.S. Dollars as reported in the Wall Street Journal on the due date, plus 250 basis points, calculated on the number of days from the date on which the Company applied such borrowings. For the initial funding advance of US$17.4 million, interest started to accrue from June 18, 2021. For the additional funding advance of US$53.1 million, interest started to accrue from September 17, 2021.

Pursuant to the terms of the license and collaboration agreement, the collaborator may recoup the aggregate amount of Funding Advances together with interest thereon from Company’s share of pre-tax profits for the first profitable year of the collaboration program. The Company’s management estimated the loan will not be recouped by the collaborator within one year, and thus the loan was classified as a long-term liability.

In September 2021, a former employee elected to enter into arbitration against Legend Biotech USA Inc. (“Legend USA”) with the American Arbitration Association , claiming such former employee was discriminated against due to her gender and wrongfully terminated in retaliation for engaging in alleged protected activity. The former employee demanded Legend USA to pay damages of approximately US$3.0 million for alleged lost pay, lost equity, damage to reputation, emotional distress and other related losses.

Management believes that the former employee’s claims above are without merit and intends to defend vigorously. At the early stage of the process, management cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the above claims, whether in whole or in part, which may result in a loss, if any. Therefore, in the opinion of management and legal counsel, an estimate of the amount or a range of reasonably possible losses cannot be made at this time. Accordingly, no provision for any liability has been made in the financial statements.

22. FAIR VALUE AND FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair values of the Group’s financial assets or liabilities approximated to their respective carrying amounts.

Management has assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, pledged deposits, time deposits, financial assets included in prepayments, other receivables and other assets, trade receivables, trade payables and financial liabilities included in other payables and accruals approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The Group’s finance department headed by the finance manager is responsible for determining the policies and procedures for the fair value measurement of financial instruments. The finance department reports directly to the finance manager. At each reporting date, the finance department analyzed the movements in the values of financial instruments and determined the major inputs applied in the valuation. The valuation was reviewed and approved by the finance manager. The valuation process and results are discussed with the directors once a year for annual financial reporting.

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

23. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, pledged deposits, time deposits, financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, prepayments, other receivables and other assets, warrant liability, financial liabilities included in other payables and accruals and interest-bearing loans and borrowings. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Group’s operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations.

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The board of directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarized below.

Foreign currency risk

The Group has transactional currency exposures. Such exposures arise from sales or purchases by operating units in currencies other than the units’ functional currencies. Approximately 36% of the Group’s sales were denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the operating units making the sale in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (Nine months ended September 30, 2020: 25%).

As at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Group has no outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contract. At present, the Group does not intend to seek to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations. However, management constantly monitors the economic situation and the Group’s foreign exchange risk profile and will consider appropriate hedging measures in the future should the need arise.

23. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Credit risk

The Group trades only with recognized and creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. For transactions that are not denominated in the functional currency of the relevant operating unit, the Group does not offer credit terms without the specific approval of the Head of Credit Control.

The credit risk of the Group’s other financial assets, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, pledged deposits, time deposits, financial assets measured at amortized cost and other receivables, arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amounts of these instruments. Further quantitative data in respect of the Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from trade receivables are disclosed in note 9 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Since the Group trades only with recognized and creditworthy third parties, there is no requirement for collateral. Concentrations of credit risk are managed by debtor. The Group had certain concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables, which are disclosed in note 9 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity risk

The Group monitors its risk to a shortage of funds using a recurring liquidity planning tool. This tool considers the maturity of both its financial investments and financial assets (e.g., trade receivables and other financial assets) and projected cash flows from operations.

The maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities as at the end of the reporting period, based on contractual undiscounted payments, is as follows:

As at September 30, 2021

23. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Capital management

The primary objectives of the Group’s capital management are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholders’ value.

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the reporting periods.

The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is total liabilities divided by total assets. The gearing ratios as at the end of each period were as follows:

 

     September 30,
2021
    December 31,
2020
 
     US$’000     US$’000
