Financial structure at March 31, 2018

At March 31, 2018, Genomic Visionhad cash and cash equivalents of €1.3 million,compared with €2.0 millionat December 31, 2017, and incorporates€1.0 million from the drawdown of the seventh tranche of convertiblenotes with warrants and the pre-financing of 2017 research tax credit for a second tranche of €0.5 million. Cashburn over the period was €2.2 million.

Given the €5.5 million in additional financing available at March 31, 2018 in the form of convertible notes with warrants, the measures implemented to reduce operating costs and the expected development of its sales, Genomic Vision has the necessary resources to continue its development across its targeted markets until the first quarter of 2019. The Company is looking at various options to prepare the financing of the next stages of its development.

FiberVision S: new platform intended for the research market

Genomic Vision exclusively presented its new automated scanner dedicated to applications for research laboratories, FiberVision S, at the AACR (American Association for Cancer Research) Annual Meeting that was held from April 14 to 18, 2018 in Chicago (Illinois, USA). This platform has been designed to be more compact and, especially, more open in order to provide users with exceptional flexibility and versatility to meet the requirements of their different research applications. This new platform triggered great interest from researchers, as it incorporates new features such as the calibration of the wavelength spectrum, particularly suited to genome studies, notably in oncology.

Meanwhile, the FiberVision platform, with its loading capacity and high throughput, remains the benchmark platform for the diagnostics market, both for clinical centers and for central laboratories.

Frédéric Tarbouriech, CFO of Genomic Vision, said:"Despite the seasonal effect on platform sales, which was widely anticipated and regularly affects our start of the year, we recorded a dynamic first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017 thanks to the gradual ramping up of our recurring revenue. The latter illustrates an increasing demand for our consumables and services in molecular combing, both in IVD and LSR.

Moreover, we have continued to implement a strict expense management policy enabling us to pursue our development on these two strategic segments in a targeted manner, while looking at various options to strengthen our financial structure. We are delighted about the upcoming launch of FiberVision S, our new platform adapted to the research market, which should enable us to intensify platform sales over the second half of 2018.

Furthermore, the recent presentation of molecular combing at the NIST-FDA2Genome Editing Workshop in the United States to an audience of key scientific and industrial players should considerably increase our visibility and lead to an acceleration in our sales development on this emerging market, notably in the context of a growing need for efficient control tools".
