ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION MANAGEMENT

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

BUSINESS REVIEW

  • Orelabrutinib
    Orelabrutinib is a highly selective irreversible BTK inhibitor for the treatment of various B-cell malignancies and autoimmune diseases that we are currently investigating in a broad clinical program in China and globally. Given its excellent safety and efficacy profile, we believe Orelabrutinib will become a top treatment choice and an attractive partner for combination therapies.
    Over 300 patients have been treated with Orelabrutinib across all our B-cell malignant cancer trials. We have submitted two NDAs to the NMPA for r/r CLL/SLL and r/r MCL, both of which have been accepted and granted priority review earlier this year. Furthermore, we have completed collection of 12-month follow up data for both indications; the results have been submitted to ASH and will be presented at the 2020 ASH annual meeting.
    To optimize Orelabrutinib's market potential, we are progressing Orelabrutinib through three other monotherapy Phase II trials for r/r MZL, r/r CNSL and r/r WM. The current Phase II trial of WM has been endorsed as a registrational trial by the CDE with enrollment expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2020. Additionally, we have completed first patient recruitment in a combinational basket trial with MIL-62, a next generation CD20 antibody. Furthermore, we have received approval from the NMPA to initiate a Phase III trial of Orelabrutinib as a first-line treatment for CLL/SLL. We have also initiated a Phase II study of Orelabrutinib in patients with r/r non-GCB DLBCL sub-population with double mutations, with the first patient enrolled in the second quarter of 2020.
    In the U.S., we are conducting a Phase I basket trial for B-cell malignancies, which is anticipated to be completed by the end of the year. We are currently in the process of amending the protocol to rapidly initiate Phase II.
    Because of Orelabrutinib's excellent target selectivity and superior safety profile, we are also evaluating it as a novel therapy for the treatment of SLE and other autoimmune diseases. We are conducting a Phase IIa trial for SLE and enrolled the first patient already.
    WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ULTIMATELY DEVELOP AND MARKET ORELABRUTINIB SUCCESSFULLY.
  • ICP-192
    ICP-192 is a potent and highly selective pan-FGFR inhibitor that we are developing for the treatment of various types of solid tumors. Studies have shown that mutations and aberrant activation of FGFRs have been implicated with the development of various cancers, including bile duct, breast, lung, head and neck, gastric and urothelial cancers, accounting for approximately 7.1% of solid tumors. As ICP-192 is currently one of the most advanced clinical stage pan-FGFR inhibitors being developed in China, we believe we are well-positioned to capitalize this market opportunity.

12 InnoCare Pharma Limited

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

We have completed a Phase I dose escalation study to define its OBD and PK/PD profiles in patients with solid tumors. Two patients with FGFR gene aberrations achieved partial responses and two patients with FGFR gene aberrations achieved stable disease in the dose escalation study. We have initiated two Phase

  1. studies targeting at cholangiocarcinoma and urothelial cancers, two indications with high incidence of FGFR aberrations and significant market opportunity in China and worldwide. We have completed first patient dosing for both cholangiocarcinoma and urothelial cancers in the first half of 2020. In the U.S., IND was approved in April 2020 and first patient enrollment is anticipated in the third quarter of 2020.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ULTIMATELY DEVELOP AND MARKET ICP-192 SUCCESSFULLY.

  • ICP-105
    ICP-105 is a potential first-in-class, potent and selective FGFR4 inhibitor that we are developing for the treatment of advanced HCC with FGFR4 pathway overactivation. HCC, one of the most lethal cancers, is especially prevalent in China, accounting for nearly 50% of all new cases globally. While several FGFR4 inhibitors are under clinical development, there are currently no marketed FGFR4 inhibitors globally.
    ICP-105 has the potential to become a promising therapy for HCC and is currently in Phase I dose escalation study to determine its safety, tolerability and PK/PD. We expect the dose escalation trial to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2020.
    WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ULTIMATELY DEVELOP AND MARKET ICP-105 SUCCESSFULLY.
  • ICP-723
    ICP-723 is a second-generation small molecule pan-TRK inhibitor designed to treat patients with NTRK gene fusion-positive cancers who were TRK inhibitor treatment-naive or who have developed resistance to the first generation TRK inhibitors, regardless of cancer types. The IND application for ICP-723 was approved by the NMPA in May 2020, and we are currently initiating clinical trials in China to assess the safety, tolerability and PK of ICP-723 in advanced solid tumors and to evaluate the preliminary anti-tumor activity of ICP-723 in NTRK fusion-positive cancers.
    Mechanism of Action
    The TRK family consists of 3 proteins referred to as TRKA, TRKB and TRKC, which are encoded by neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase genes NTRK1, NTRK2 and NTRK3, respectively. TRKs play an important role in maintaining normal nervous system function. Unwanted joining of separated NTRK genes, or NTRK gene fusions, have been found to contribute to tumorigenesis in a variety of different cancers, with high prevalence in infantile fibrosarcoma, salivary gland carcinomas and thyroid carcinoma. NTRK fusions have also been detected at lower frequencies, in soft-tissue sarcomas, thyroid cancer, mammary analogue secretory carcinoma of salivary glands, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, melanoma, breast cancer, etc. ICP-723 is a highly potent and selective TRK kinase inhibitor designed to overcome the acquired resistance to prior TRK inhibition.

Interim Report 2020 13

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Summary of Pre-Clinical Data

ICP-723 is a second-generationpan-TRK inhibitor with superior selectivity and safety profile based on the data of nonclinical research. In vitro biochemical assay showed that ICP-723 markedly inhibited the activity of the wild type TRKA/B/C as well as mutant TRKA with resistant mutation G595R or G667C. Kinase selectivity profiling of ICP-723 at 100 nM against a panel of 468 kinases in the KINOMEscan kinase screening platform (DiscoverX) demonstrated high selectivity of ICP-723 for TRKA/B/C with 100% inhibition and that only three other kinases (ROS1/-JAK3/CASK) were inhibited at >90%. In cellular assay, ICP-723 exerted strong and selective antiproliferation activity in KM12 cells carrying TPM3-NTRK1 fusion and in Ba/F3 cells carrying LMNA-TRKA fusion and resistant mutation G595R. In the in-vivo pharmacology studies, ICP-723 exhibited potent and dose-dependentanti-tumor activity in KM12 xenograft and Ba/F3 LMNA-NTRK1 G595R allograft models. ICP-723 at 0.3 mg/kg BID achieved >80% tumor growth inhibition in KM12 model.

In vitro permeability studies using Caco-2 cells showed that ICP-723 is a moderately permeable compound. ICP-723 was well absorbed after a single oral administration and no significant accumulation was observed in rats and dogs after 7-day repeat dosing. ICP-723 had a moderate to high binding affinity with human plasma protein. ICP-723 was predominantly metabolized by CYP3A4 and mainly excreted from feces as metabolites. ICP-723 had no significant inhibitory or inductive activities on the major CYP450s at predicted therapeutic plasma exposure.

After a single dose, ICP-723 exerted no effect on the central nervous system and respiratory function of SD rats or on the cardiovascular system of Beagle dogs at the highest dose levels tested in the safety pharmacology studies. ICP-723 had no significant inhibition against hERG potassium channel with IC50

  • 50 µM. The 4-week toxicology studies in SD rats and Beagle dogs revealed the toxicities which were generally consistent with the findings from other TRK inhibitors, and were reversible after dosing ceased. Most of the toxic findings were associated with the on-target effects of TRK inhibition and considered to be an exaggerated pharmacological effect of ICP-723.

In summary, ICP-723 is a second-generation small molecule pan-TRK inhibitor with high selectivity and favorable safety profile, which could overcome acquired resistance to the first generation TRK inhibitor.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ULTIMATELY DEVELOP AND MARKET ICP-723 SUCCESSFULLY.

14 InnoCare Pharma Limited

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

IND Stage Drug Candidates

  • ICP-332
    ICP-332 is a small-molecule inhibitor of TYK2 that we are developing for the treatment of various T-cell mediated autoimmune disorders. We plan to submit the IND application to NMPA early next year.
  • ICP-189
    ICP-189 is a potent oral allosteric inhibitor of SHP2 with excellent selectivity over other phosphatases. It is being developed for the treatment of solid tumors as a single agent and/or in combinations with other antitumor agents. SHP2 is a non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase involved in mediating RAS signaling pathway and immune checkpoint pathway for regulation of cellular proliferation and survival. We plan to submit the IND application for ICP-189 to the NMPA in the second half of 2021.
  • ICP-490
    ICP-490 is a proprietary, orally available small molecule that modulates the immune system and other biological targets through multiple mechanisms of action. By specifically binding to CRL4CRBN-E3 ligase complex, it induces ubiquitination and degradation of transcription factors including Ikaros and Aiolos.
    Clinically, ICP-490 may be used for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, DLBCL and autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus. We plan to submit the IND application for ICP-490 to the NMPA in the second half of 2021.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ULTIMATELY DEVELOP AND MARKET PRE-CLINICAL DRUG CANDIDATES SUCCESSFULLY.

Manufacturing and Commercialization

In anticipation of the market launch of Orelabrutinib and other potential drug candidates, we are building our in-house manufacturing facilities and commercialization capabilities. Our 50,000 m2 Guangzhou manufacturing facility will have an annual production capacity of one billion pills and is designed to comply with GMP requirements of the U.S., Europe, Japan and China. We plan to obtain a manufacturing license for the facility in the second half of 2020.

Interim Report 2020 15

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

We have developed our commercialization strategy in a staggered approach corresponding with the launch timeline of Orelabrutinib and the clinical and regulatory approval status of our other drug candidates. By Orelabrutinib's NDA approval, we expect to have a sales and marketing team of 120 to 140 personnel covering over 300 nationally leading oncology hospitals. Should Orelabrutinib be included in the NRDL, we will expand the commercialization team to 200 personnel covering over 800 top hospitals. We expect our commercialization team to cover a majority of provinces and municipalities in China and support the promotion of our other pre- clinical and clinical stage drug candidates after launch.

During the past few months since the listing of our Shares on the Stock Exchange, we have significantly grown our commercialization team. Our team currently includes key functional heads for sales, marketing, medical affairs, market access and, distribution and customer management. All the functional heads report to our new Chief Commercial Officer, Mr. Jin Xiaodong, who has over 20 years of experience in commercialization management with global pharmaceutical companies. Under this unit, the company will boldly expand our commercialization presence across China and will be ready for our first product Orelabrutinib launch. As of August 12, 2020, we had over 40 sales and marketing personnel on board.

To accomplish our vision of becoming a global biopharmaceutical leader that develops and delivers innovative therapies for patients worldwide, we will focus on pursuing the following aspects:

Develop, commercialize and expand Orelabrutinib in B-cell malignancies

We have initiated a broad clinical program for Orelabrutinib in various B-cell malignancies in China. We expect our commercialization team to be fully operational by the fourth quarter of 2020, in line with the anticipated NDA approval of Orelabrutinib for CLL/SLL and MCL. Additionally, we will continue our efforts to advance Orelabrutinib through various Phase II clinical trials for other B-cell malignancies, including MZL, CNSL, WM and non-GCB DLBCL sub-population with double mutations in China. Furthermore, we will begin patient recruitment for a Phase III trial of Orelabrutinib as a first-line treatment of CLL/SLL in China.

We will continue to advance clinical development of Orelabrutinib in the U.S. and will actively seek ex-China partnerships opportunities to maximize the commercial value of Orelabrutinib globally.

We will continue to progress Orelabrutinib through the combinational basket trial with MIL-62. We intend to further identify and develop promising combination therapies to leverage Orelabrutinib's safety profile demonstrated by clinical data.

Continue the development of ICP-192 and ICP-105 for solid tumors in China and worldwide

We plan to develop ICP-192, a pan-FGFR inhibitor, for the treatment of various types of solid tumors. We will continue to advance ICP-192 through Phase II clinical trials for cholangiocarcinoma and urothelial cancers in order to further evaluate its safety and efficacy and to define its registration path. In the U.S., we have received IND approval from the U.S. FDA and are initiating Phase I clinical trial.

We plan to develop ICP-105, a FGFR4 inhibitor, for the treatment of advanced HCC with FGFR4 pathway overactivation. We will continue to advance ICP-105 through clinical trials in China for the treatment of HCC with FGFR4 pathway overactivation.

16 InnoCare Pharma Limited

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

In addition, we plan to explore ICP-192 and/or ICP-105 in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors and other agents to treat solid tumors with FGFR aberrations. Depending on the results of these clinical trials, we intend to expand our clinical development efforts into additional solid tumor indications such as gastric and liver cancers.

Based on clinical trial results in China, we plan to expand the clinical development of ICP-192 and ICP-105 globally by focusing on promising indications and may seek global partnerships as well. In the U.S., the IND for ICP-192 was approved in April 2020 and first patient enrollment is anticipated in the third quarter of 2020.

Develop ICP-723 for solid tumors in China and worldwide

We plan to initiate an open-label Phase I/II study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK and preliminary efficacy of ICP-723 for the treatment of advanced solid tumors with NTRK gene fusion. Phase I will be a dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK of ICP-723 and to determine the DLT, MTD, and RP2D and Phase

  1. will be a dose expansion portion to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ICP-723 in the treatment of NTRK gene fusion-positive cancers with or without prior treatment with the first generation of TRK inhibitors.

We expect to enroll the first patient in the fourth quarter of 2020. We are also considering initiating clinical trials in the U.S. to further explore its market and therapeutic potential.

Develop Orelabrutinib and other potential candidates for autoimmune diseases

Having recognized the significant market potential in autoimmune diseases and Orelabrutinib's favorable safety profile, we are developing Orelabrutinib as a novel therapy for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

We are exploring Orelabrutinib through Phase IIa trials to identify the optimal dosing regimen and evaluate the safety, tolerability and biomarker readout for the treatment of SLE. After the optimal dosing regimen is identified, we plan to initiate subsequent clinical studies for other autoimmune diseases, such as ITP, LN, pemphigus, MS and RA. Following the results of the study, we may expand our clinical trials globally.

In addition to Orelabrutinib, we are exploring the possibility of treating autoimmune diseases induced by T-cell dysfunctions with other potential candidates. We are developing ICP-332, a TYK2 inhibitor, for the treatment of various T-cell mediated autoimmune diseases, such as psoriasis, IBD and SLE. With both Orelabrutinib as a B-cell pathway regulator and ICP-332 as a T-cell pathway regulator in hand, we believe we are well-positioned to provide oral drug solutions for the substantial unmet medical needs in autoimmune diseases.

Expand our pipeline through in-house discovery and business development efforts

We will continue to develop the seven drug candidates that are currently at IND-enabling stage.

To further enhance our pipeline and optimize our operational efficiency, we will actively pursue in-licensing opportunities that will complement our existing portfolio. A strong emphasis will be placed on licensing assets that allow us to fully leverage and capitalize our commercial and manufacturing platform, and those that have potential synergies with our current pipeline for combination therapies.

Prepayments, Other Receivables and Other Assets

Our prepayments, other receivables and other assets increased from RMB36.6 million as of December 31, 2019 to RMB61.5 million as of June 30, 2020, primarily due to (i) RMB14.3 million increase in value-added tax recoverable from RMB13.8 million as of December 31, 2019 to RMB28.1 million as of June 30, 2020; (ii) RMB11.7 million increase in interest receivable from RMB7.6 million as of December 31, 2019 to RMB19.3 million as of June 30, 2020; and (iii) RMB1.3 million decrease in prepayments from RMB13.2 million as of December 31, 2019 to RMB11.9 million as of June 30, 2020.

Interim Report 2020 21

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Investments Measured at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

The investments measured at fair value through profit or loss are wealth management products, denominated in RMB, with expected yield rates ranging from 3.48% to 3.58% per annum for the six months ended June 30, 2020 (for the year ended December 31, 2019: 3.57% to 3.81%). The yields on all of these wealth management products are not guaranteed, and hence their contractual cash flows do not qualify for solely payments of principal and interest. Therefore, they are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The fair values are based on cash flows discounted using the expected yield rate based on management judgement and are within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Bank Loans and Borrowings

As of June 30, 2020, we did not have any material mortgages, charges, debentures, loan capital, debt securities, loans, unutilised banking facilities, bank overdrafts or other similar indebtedness, liabilities under acceptances (other than normal trade bills), acceptance credits, which are either guaranteed, unguaranteed, secured or unsecured, or guarantees.

Convertible Loan

As of June 30, 2020, the balance of convertible loan amounted to RMB1,149.0 million (as of December 31, 2019: RMB 1,117.2 million). In 2018, Guangzhou Kaide provided Guangzhou InnoCare Pharma Tech Co., Ltd. with a convertible loan amounting to RMB930 million, which bears interest at 6.5% per annum and will be due on December 31, 2024, with an option to convert the loan into ordinary shares of Guangzhou InnoCare Pharma Tech Co., Ltd. under certain conditions.

Other Payables and Accruals

Our other payables and accruals increased from RMB41.5 million as of December 31, 2019 to RMB50.5 million as of June 30, 2020, primarily due to (i) an increase in construction progress payable from RMB16.1 million as of December 31, 2019 to RMB20.4 million as of June 30, 2020; (ii) an increase in IPO related service payables to intermediaries from RMB14.7 million as of December 31, 2019 to RMB22.4 million as of June 30, 2020.

Current ratio equals current assets divided by current liabilities as of the end of the financial period.

The increase in current ratio was primarily due to the increase of IPO fund raising and bank balances from RMB2,291.8 million as of December 31, 2019 to RMB4,409.8 million as of June 30, 2020 partially offset by a decrease in investments measured at fair value through profit or loss from RMB80.3 million as of December 31, 2019 to RMB30.1 million as of June 30, 2020.

Other Financial Information

Significant Investments, Material Acquisitions and Disposals

As of June 30, 2020, we did not hold any significant investments. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we did not have material acquisitions or disposals of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures.

Interim Report 2020 23

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES

We expect our liquidity requirements will be satisfied by a combination of cash generated from operating activities, other funds raised from the capital markets from time to time and the net proceeds from the IPO.

We currently do not have any plan for material additional external debt or equity financing. We will continue to evaluate potential financing opportunities based on our need for capital resources and market conditions.

As of June 30, 2020, our cash and bank balances were RMB4,409.8 million, as compared to RMB2,291.8 million as of December 31, 2019. The increase was mainly due to the fund raised from the IPO in Hong Kong. Our cash is primarily used to provide funding for research and development of new drug candidates, working capital and other general corporate purposes. Our cash and cash equivalents are held in USD, RMB, HKD and AUD.

On March 23, 2020, 250,324,000 Shares of US$0.000002 each were issued at a price of HK$8.95 per Share in connection with the Company's listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The proceeds of HK$3,883 representing the par value of shares, were credited to the Company's share capital. The remaining proceeds of HK$2,240.4 million (before deduction of the expenses relating to the Company's IPO) were credited to the share premium account. The translation from U.S. dollar to Hong Kong dollar is made at the exchange rate set forth in the H.10 weekly statistical release of the Federal Reserve System of the United States as of March 23, 2020.

On April 15, 2020, the international underwriters of the Global Offering exercised the over-allotment option in full, pursuant to which the Company is required to allot and issue the option shares, being 37,548,000 Shares, representing approximately 15% of the maximum number of shares initially available under the Global Offering, at the offer price under the Global Offering. The net proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option were approximately HK$322.59 million (after deducting the commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company in relation to the exercise of the over-allotment option).

GEARING RATIO

The gearing ratio (calculated as total debt (which includes loans and borrowings, loans from a related party, and convertible loan) divided by total assets and multiplied by 100%) as of June 30, 2020 was 24% comparing to 43% as of December 31, 2019, as the current asset increased significantly as of June 30, 2020 for the reason of IPO fund raising.

The Board and the Audit Committee constantly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that the Company maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity needs in the short and long term.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

As of June 30, 2020, we did not have any material contingent liabilities.

24 InnoCare Pharma Limited

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

Our financial statements are expressed in RMB, but certain of our cash and cash equivalents, time deposits, other receivables and trade and other payables are denominated in foreign currencies, and are exposed to foreign currency risk. We currently do not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

LIQUIDITY RISK

In the management of the liquidity risk, the Company monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by its management to finance the operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.

PLEDGE OF ASSETS/CHARGE ON ASSETS

There was no pledge of the Group's assets as of June 30, 2020.

EMPLOYEES AND REMUNERATION

As of June 30, 2020, the Group had a total of 287 employees. The following table sets forth the total number of employees by function as of June 30, 2020:

OTHER INFORMATION

CHANGES IN INFORMATION OF DIRECTORS AND CHIEF EXECUTIVES

There are no changes in the information of Directors and chief executives of the Company since the Listing Date to June 30, 2020, which are required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 13.51B(1) of the Listing Rules.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE CG CODE

The Company has applied the principles and code provisions as set out in the CG Code contained in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules. During the period from the Listing Date to June 30, 2020, the Board is of the opinion that the Company has complied with all the code provisions apart from the deviation below.

The roles of the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer of the Company are held by Dr. Jisong Cui who is a co-founder of the Company. The Board believes that this structure will not impair the balance of power and authority between our Board and the management of the Company, given that: (i) a decision to be made by the Board requires approvals by at least a majority of Directors and that the Board comprises three Independent Non-executive Directors out of nine Directors, and the Board believes there is sufficient check and balance in the Board; (ii) Dr. Jisong Cui and the other Directors are aware of and undertake to fulfill their fiduciary duties as Directors, which require, among other things, that they act for the benefits and in the best interests of the Company and will make decisions for the Group accordingly; and (iii) the balance of power and authority is ensured by the operations of the Board which comprises experienced and high caliber individuals who meet regularly to discuss issues affecting the operations of the Company. Moreover, the overall strategic and other key business, financial and operational policies of the Group are made collectively after thorough discussion at both the Board and senior management levels. The Board also believes that the combined role of Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer can promote the effective execution of strategic initiatives and facilitate the flow of information between management and the Board. Further, in view of Dr. Jisong Cui's experience, personal profile and her roles in the Company as mentioned above, Dr. Jisong Cui is the Director best suited to identify strategic opportunities and focus of the Board due to her extensive understanding of our business as the Chief Executive Officer. Finally, as Dr. Jisong Cui is the co-founder of the Company, the Board believes that vesting the roles of both Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer in the same person has the benefit of ensuring consistent leadership within the Group and enables more effective and efficient overall strategic planning for and communication within the Group. The Board will continue to review the effectiveness of the corporate governance structure of the Group in order to assess whether separation of the roles of Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer is necessary.

MODEL CODE FOR SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS BY DIRECTORS OF LISTED ISSUERS

The Company has adopted the Model Code as set out in Appendix 10 to the Listing Rules.

Specific enquiries have been made of all the Directors and they have confirmed that they have complied with the Model Code throughout the period from the Listing Date to June 30, 2020.

(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the interim financial information set out on pages 34 to 64, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position of InnoCare Pharma Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (the "Group") as at June 30, 2020 and the related condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("HKAS 34") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA"). The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with HKAS 34. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review. Our report is made solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

SCOPE OF REVIEW

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the HKICPA. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

CONCLUSION

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with HKAS 34.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

June 30, 2020

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The Company is a limited liability company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on November 3, 2015. The registered office of the Company is located at the offices of Ogier Global (Cayman) Limited, 89 Nexus Way, Camana Bay, Grand Cayman KY1-9009 Cayman Islands.

The Company is an investment holding company. The Company's subsidiaries are principally engaged in the research and development of biological products. The shares of the Company were listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange") on March 23, 2020.

2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION

The interim condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended June 30, 2020 has been prepared in accordance with HKAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim condensed consolidated financial information does not include all the information and disclosures required in annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The interim condensed consolidated financial information is presented in Renminbi ("RMB") and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (RMB' 000) except when otherwise indicated.

2.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial information are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, except for the adoption of the following revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") for the first time for the current period's financial information.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

June 30, 2020

2.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES (continued)

The nature and impact of the revised HKFRSs are described below:

  1. Amendments to HKFRS 3 clarify and provide additional guidance on the definition of a business. The amendments clarify that for an integrated set of activities and assets to be considered a business, it must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. A business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes needed to create outputs. The amendments remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of acquiring the business and continue to produce outputs. Instead, the focus is on whether acquired inputs and acquired substantive processes together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The amendments have also narrowed the definition of outputs to focus on goods or services provided to customers, investment income or other income from ordinary activities. Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance to assess whether an acquired process is substantive and introduce an optional fair value concentration test to permit a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The Group has applied the amendments prospectively to transactions or other events that occurred on or after January 1, 2020. The amendments did not have any impact on the financial position and performance of the Group.
  2. Amendments to HKFRS 9, HKAS 39 and HKFRS 7 address the effects of interbank offered rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments provide temporary reliefs which enable hedge accounting to continue during the period of uncertainty before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark. In addition, the amendments require companies to provide additional information to investors about their hedging relationships which are directly affected by these uncertainties. The amendments did not have any impact on the financial position and performance of the Group as the Group does not have any interest rate hedge relationships.
  3. Amendment to HKFRS 16 provides a practical expedient for lessees to elect not to apply lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic. The practical expedient applies only to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic and only if (i) the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change; (ii) any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before June 30, 2021; and (iii) there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease. The amendment is effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after June 1, 2020 with earlier application permitted.
    During the period ended June 30, 2020, certain monthly lease payments for the leases of the Group's office buildings have been reduced by the lessor as a result of the covid-19 pandemic and there are no other changes to the terms of the leases. The Group has early adopted the amendment on January 1, 2020 and elected not to apply lease modification accounting for the rent concession granted by the lessor as a result of the covid-19 pandemic during the period ended June 30, 2020. Accordingly, a reduction in the lease payments arising from the rent concessions of RMB150,000 has been accounted by derecognising part of the lease liabilities and crediting to profit or loss for the period ended June 30, 2020.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

June 30, 2020

2.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES (continued)

  1. Amendments to HKAS 1 and HKAS 8 provide a new definition of material. The new definition states that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information. The amendments did not have any impact on the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial information.

3. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

Since the Group's revenue and operating losses were mainly from the activities related to research and development in Mainland China, and most of the Group's identifiable operating assets and liabilities were located in Mainland China, no geographical segment information is presented in accordance with HKFRS 8 Operating Segments.

Information about major customers

6. INCOME TAX

The Group is subject to income tax on an entity basis on profits arising in or derived from the jurisdictions in which members of the Group are domiciled and operated.

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of Cayman Islands and B.V.I, the Group is not subject to any income tax in Cayman Islands or B.V.I.

Hong Kong profits tax has been provided at the rate of 16.5% (2019: 16.5%) on the estimated assessable profits arising in Hong Kong during the period, except for subsidiary which is a qualifying entity under the two-tiered profits tax rates regime. The first HK$2,000,000 (2019: HK$2,000,000) of assessable profits of the subsidiary are taxed at 8.25% and the remaining assessable profits are taxed at 16.5%.

The subsidiary incorporated in Australia is subject to income tax at the rate of 27.5% on the estimated assessable profits arising in Australia during the period.

The subsidiary of the Group operating in the United States of America was subject to federal tax at a rate of 21% and state tax at a rate of 8.7% in Delaware during the period.

The provision for China current income tax is based on the statutory rate of 25% of the assessable profits of certain PRC subsidiaries of the Group as determined in accordance with the PRC Corporate Income Tax Law which was approved and became effective on January 1, 2008, except for certain subsidiaries of the Group in China which are granted tax concession and are taxed at preferential tax rates.

Nanjing Tian Yin Jian Hua Pharma Tech Co., Ltd. ("InnoCare Nanjing") was qualified as High and New Technology Enterprises in 2018 and is subject to income tax at a preferential tax rate of 15% for the period.

Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these losses as they have arisen in subsidiaries that have been loss-making for some time and it is not considered probable that taxable profits will be available against which the tax losses can be utilised.

8. LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ORDINARY EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE PARENT (continued)

The computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 excluded the unvested share options and restricted stock units of the Company. Details of these share options and restricted stock units are set out in note 16 to the financial statements.

As the Group incurred losses, no adjustment has been made to the basic loss per share amounts presented for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 in respect of a dilution as the impact of the conversion of the convertible redeemable preferred shares, the exercise of share options and restricted stock units, or the convertible loan had an anti-dilutive effect on the basic loss per share amounts presented. Accordingly, the dilutive loss per share amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are the same as the basic loss per share amounts.

9. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Group acquired assets with a cost of RMB113,210,000 (for the six months ended June 30, 2019: RMB2,824,000).

The Group didn't dispose any asset during the six months ended June 30, 2020 (for the six months ended June 30, 2019: Nil).

Notes:

The investments measured at fair value through profit or loss are wealth management products, denominated in RMB, with expected yield rates ranging from 3.48% to 3.58% per annum for the six months ended June 30, 2020 (for the year ended December 31, 2019: 3.57% to 3.81%). The yields on all of these wealth management products are not guaranteed, and hence their contractual cash flows do not qualify for solely payments of principal and interest. Therefore, they are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The fair values are based on cash flows discounted using the expected yield rate based on management judgement and are within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

RSUs

The Group grants RSUs to certain eligible individuals of the Company's directors and the Group's employees and consultants at the par value of the ordinary shares under the 2015 Global Share Plan, at the price of US$0.055 per share under the 2016 Global Share Plan and at the price of US$0.178 to certain eligible individuals under the 2018 Global Share Plan.

The RSUs have vesting terms in different schedules from the grant date over 4 years, 5 years or certain milestone-based requirements. Once the vesting conditions underlying the respective RSUs are met, the shares under RSUs will be issued to the grantees at par value.

  1. For vesting schedule as 4 years or 5 years, specifically, the RSUs awarded vest in tranches from the grant date over a certain service period, on the condition that employees remain in service and met the certain performance condition of the Company and individuals. There are four types for the period of cliff vesting set as follows:
    1. The period of cliff vesting equals to 1 year, 25% of the RSUs shall become vested upon the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date by one time; or 50% of the RSUs shall become vested upon the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date by one time;
    2. The period of cliff vesting equals to 2 years, 40% or 50% of the RSUs shall become vested upon the first (or second) anniversary of the vesting commencement date by one time;
    3. The period of cliff vesting equals to 3 years, 60% of the RSUs shall become vested upon the third anniversary of the vesting commencement date by one time.

After the agreed period of cliff vesting, the remaining vesting of RSUs shall subsequently vest in equal and continuous annually instalments over the three or two years thereafter, which shall vest on each of the following three or two anniversaries of such date.

  1. For vesting schedule as certain milestone-based awards, the RSUs are vested subject to the directors and employees' continued status as a service provider and the achievement of a specified performance target including but not limited to the completion of marketing authorisation of various drug candidates or achievement of certain sales targets.

Subject to the achievement of certain milestone conditions, certain performance conditions and the directors and employees' continued status as a service provider through each of the applicable vesting dates, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the RSUs shall be vested in whole or in part in accordance with the rules and the vesting schedule as same as what has been set forth regards share options above.

21. FAIR VALUE AND FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Management has assessed that the fair values of cash and bank balances, investments in wealth management products, trade receivables, financial assets included in deposits, prepayments and other receivables, trade payables, loans and borrowings, 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 manager reports directly to the chief financial officer and the audit committee. At the end of the period ended June 30, 2020, the finance department analysed the movements in the values of financial instruments and determined the major inputs applied in the valuation. The valuation is reviewed and approved by the chief financial officer. The valuation process and results are discussed with the audit committee for interim 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.

  1. Fair value of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (continued)
    Financial instruments in Level 3 (continued)
    The Group applied the discounted cash flow method to determine the fair value of the convertible loan, which is the probability-weighted average of the convertible option and straight loan. The discount rate for convertible option is the risk-free rate while the discount rate for straight loan at the end of the reporting period is the risk-free rate plus an implied spread. The Group estimated the risk-free interest rate based on the yield of the China Government Bond Zero Curve as of the valuation date with the term corresponding to the time to maturity of the convertible loan.
