- As of last year, revenue was primarily due to the licensing agreements signed with Tonghua Dongbao (THDB) at the end of April 2018, to develop, manufacture, and commercialize BioChaperone® Lispro and BioChaperone® Combo in China and other territories in Asia and the Middle East.

- In the first nine months of 2020, revenue has been recognized upon provision of research and development services performed by Adocia and related to the transfer and development of the products.

Net cash position

- In August 2020, the Company was granted a State-guaranteed loan (PGE) for EUR 7 million and had a cash position of EUR 35.5 million as of September 30, 2020, compared to EUR 43.7 million as of January 1, 2020.

- Cash consumption for the first nine months of 2020 was EUR 8.2 million. Restated for the State-guaranteed loan, the cash consumption was EUR 15.2 million compared to EUR 16.2 million for the same period last year, on a comparable basis. The EUR 1 million decrease was primarily due to fewer expenses in the current global pandemic context.

- As of September 30, 2020, financial debt amounted to EUR 28 million compared to EUR 21.2 million as of December 31, 2019. Debt was mainly comprised of a financing line consisting in a bond issue for a total amount of EUR 15 million by IPF Partners in 2019, a State-guaranteed loan for EUR 7 million obtained in August 2020, and finally a loan secured in 2016 to finance the acquisition and renovation of the building in which the headquarters and the research center of the Company are located.

- As previously announced, in August 2020, the Company was granted, by IPF Partners, a rescheduling of the loan payment contracted in 2019 for a total amount of EUR 15 million. The Company benefited from the postponement of its payment deadlines of the capital until December 2021, which represented a cash outflow postponement of 12 months up to EUR 2 million. The maturity dates of the two tranches do not change.
