The Group intends to focus business operations on expanding its oncology development pipeline, which consists of two products that have already been launched and two in the later stage of development. Under this goal, the Group primarily engaged in the following business activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

[Launched products (development completed)] SP-01(Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting)

SP-03 (Oral mucositis/stomatitis caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy)

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly restrained marketing activities of the Group's and sales partners' medical representatives (MRs), including their access to medical sites. This in turn had an impact on the prescription and delivery volumes of Sancuso® (SP-01) and episil® (SP-03), which were mainly sold in China.

[Pipeline products in the clinical study and later phase] SP-02 (Relapsed or Refractory Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma)

In 2020, the Company achieved the primary endpoint (antitumor effect) in the Global Phase II clinical trial (pivotal study) of our pipeline product SP-02. In September 30, 2021, we filed a New Drug Application (NDA) for the drug with the regulatory authority in Japan.

SP-05 (Increase in antitumor efficacy of fluorouracil

Based on the interim analysis of the global Phase III clinical trial of SP-05, a pivotal study before filing for regulatory approval, the target number of patients enrolled in the study should be 440, the minimum number specified in the trial protocol. As of the submission date of this document, the Company is continuing the trial with the minimum target number of patients with the aim of bringing the product to market.

[Pipeline products in the non-clinical study phase] SP-04(Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy)

Based on the results of the Phase III clinical trial of SP-04 targeting oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy, the Company has decided to park the development of the pipeline product for this indication; instead, we are conducting additional animal studies to investigate the product's potential in treating taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy.

2

As indicated above, we have focused on achieving progress in terms of both our products and pipeline products. On the financial front, however, we continue making up-front investments, as product sales have just entered the initial stages. Given these circumstances, our financial performance during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was as follows.

[Revenue, Gross profit]

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, revenue totaled 283 million yen. Revenue mainly came from the sales of pipeline products of Sancuso® (SP-01) and episil® (SP-03). In addition, gross profit amounted to 125 million yen.

[R&D expenses, SG&A expenses, Operating profit (loss), Profit (loss)]

R&D expenses amounted to 822 million yen. This amount is mainly attributable to expenses incurred for a multinational phase II clinical study (pivotal study) and the submission cost of New Drug Application for SP-02 and a multinational phase III clinical study of SP-05. SG&A expenses amounted to 1,367million yen, up 281 million yen year on year.

The Company incurred an operating loss of 2,063 million yen. The Company incurred an overall loss of 2,111 million yen.

[Capitalized costs included in intangible assets and amortization of intangible assets]

The Group posted a 160 million yen increase in intangible assets attributable to development costs and in- licensing expenses recognized as assets among pipeline investment outlays. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, pipeline investment amounted to 982 million yen. This figure includes the 160 million yen in intangible assets derived from capitalization of such outlays and 822 million yen in R&D expenses. However, amortization of intangible assets related to the pipeline product Sancuso® (SP-01) and episil® (SP-03), leading to amortization of 329 million yen during the nine months under review. As a result, the balance of intangible assets was 2,187 million yen as of September 30, 2021.
