1.     Reporting entity

Affimed N.V. is a Dutch company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap) and has its corporate seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, registered with the trade register of the Chamber of Commerce (handelsregister van de Kamer van Koophandel) under number 60673389.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are comprised of Affimed N.V. and its controlled (and wholly owned) subsidiaries Affimed GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany and Affimed Inc., Delaware, USA (collectively “Affimed”, the “Company” or the “Group”). Previously the Group also included AbCheck s.r.o., Plzen, Czech Republic, however this wholly owned subsidiary was sold as of December 28, 2023.

Affimed is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing highly targeted cancer immunotherapies. The Group’s product candidates are developed in the field of immuno-oncology, which represents an innovative approach to cancer treatment that seeks to harness the body’s own immune defenses to fight tumor cells. Affimed has its own development programs and strategic collaborations. The Group previously performed research services for third parties under service contracts at its former subsidiary, AbCheck.

In January 2024, Affimed announced a strategic restructuring which led to a reduction of its headcount by approximately 50% via the dissolution of its research and preclinical development departments. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Group incurred 1.6 million as termination expenses, with 1.5 million included in research and development expenses and 0.1 million included in general administrative expenses.

2.     Basis of preparation and changes to Group’s accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements (referred to as the “interim financial statements”) as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the consolidated annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Affimed N.V.’s annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023.

The interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Company’s Management Board on September 5, 2024.

Going concern

The interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Group will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, the Group has incurred operating losses since inception. As of June 30, 2024, the Group had an accumulated deficit of 570.8 million and total net equity of 28.7 million.  

The Group expects it will incur operating losses for the foreseeable future due to, among other things, costs related to continued clinical programs and its administrative organization. Historically, Affimed has successfully financed its operations through collaborations, licensing, venture loans and equity issuances. Based on current operating and budget assumptions, management anticipates that the Group’s cash and cash equivalents and investments, together with anticipated proceeds from the ATM program and the sale of AbCheck, will finance the Group into the second half of 2025. In addition, management is pursuing various financing alternatives to meet the Group’s future cash requirements, including the issuance of equity to existing or new shareholders, payments from arrangements with strategic partners and other sources. Based on such operating and budget assumptions, management has concluded that the Group is able to continue as a going concern.

We are advancing our product candidates through clinical development. Developing pharmaceutical products, including conducting preclinical studies and clinical studies, is expensive and highly regulated. In order to obtain necessary regulatory approval, we are required to conduct clinical studies for each of our product candidates and each of their indications. The Group’s clinical programs with acimtamig, AFM24 and AFM28 are still in the development stage. Any further development until market approval and successful financing is dependent on meaningful clinical trial results, among other factors. Achieving such results implies uncertainty, including

5

relating to estimated costs for completing ongoing clinical programs, the timing for bringing such programs to market or for substantially partnering or out-licensing arrangements, among others. It is unknown when, if ever, material cash inflows may commence.

Based on the quality of the Group’s clinical data, management believes that it will be able to obtain financing for the implementation of the Group’s business strategy. If the Company is not able to raise sufficient capital when needed, Affimed could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate the Company’s product development programs and the ability to continue as a going concern would be uncertain. Based on management’s going concern assessment, the interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Loss per share

Loss per common share is calculated by dividing the loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

On March 8, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its outstanding common shares. According to IAS 33.64, the Group has adjusted the weighted average number of ordinary shares and the loss per share (diluted/undiluted) retroactively for the for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. In addition, all share and per share information (including such information related to share-based payments) have been retroactively adjusted (see note 11).

As of June 30, 2024, the Group has 2,669,787 options and warrants outstanding in connection with share-based payment programs (see note 11) and a loan agreement, which could potentially have a dilutive effect but were excluded from the diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive due to the net loss generated by the Group.

Critical judgments and accounting estimates

The preparation of the interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

In preparing these interim financial statements, the critical judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies were the same as those that applied to the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 except for the following issue:

As of March 31 2024, the lease term for the property leased in Mannheim was reassessed (refer details provided in note 13). The lease term was reduced from 10 years to 5 years. The discount rate was adjusted to align with the revised lease term from 9.56% to 8.06%. The financial effect of this reassessment is an overall decrease in the consolidated depreciation and interest expense as shown below:

Functional and presentation currency

These interim financial statements are presented in euro. The functional currency of the Group’s subsidiaries is also the euro. All financial information presented in euro has been rounded to the nearest thousand (abbreviated €) or million (abbreviated € million).

Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies applied by the Group in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023.

New standards and amendments to standards

A number of new accounting standards and amendments to accounting standards are effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2024 but none of the applied standards had a material effect on these interim financial statements.

The following forthcoming amendments to standards have not been applied in preparing these interim financial statements.

Standard/interpretation

    

Effective Date1

Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability

January 1, 2025

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments

January 1, 2026

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

January 1, 2027

IFRS 18 will have an effect on the presentation of the Group`s financial statements with the following key impacts:

-Income and expenses will be classified into five categories including the new categories operation, investing and financing, therefore new subtotals will be introduced;
-Enhanced principles of aggregation and disaggregation will lead to a different grouping of information and/or additional disclosures; and
-Presentation options in the statements of cash flows will be eliminated leading to a reclassification of cash flows (e.g. interest received and interest paid).

The other amended standards are not expected to have a significant effect on the interim financial statements of the Group.

Fair Value Measurement

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is recognized in the interim financial statements are classified in accordance with the following fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input parameter that is significant on the whole for fair value measurement:

Level 1 – Prices for identical assets or liabilities quoted in active markets (non-adjusted);
Level 2 – Measurement procedures, in which the lowest level input parameter significant on the whole for fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable for on the market; and
Level 3 – Measurement procedures, in which the lowest level input parameter significant on the whole for fair value measurement is not directly or indirectly observable for on the market.

The carrying amount of all trade and other receivables, other assets and prepaid expenses, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other payables and loans is a reasonable approximation of the fair value and, therefore, information about the fair values of those financial instruments has not been disclosed. The Group recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as the date at which the change has occurred. There were no transfers between levels for the periods presented.

3.     Revenue

Collaboration with Genentech Inc.

In August 2018, Affimed entered into a strategic collaboration agreement with Genentech Inc. (Genentech), headquartered in South San Francisco, USA. Under the terms of the agreement, Affimed provided services related to the development of novel NK cell engager-based immunotherapeutics to treat multiple cancers. The Genentech agreement became effective at the beginning of October 2018. Under the terms of the agreement, Affimed received $96.0 million (83.2 million) in initial upfront and committed funding on October 31, 2018. As of the end of 2022, Affimed had completed work on and/or handed over all product candidates for further investigation by Genentech.

The Group recognized 0.2 million and 0.3 million as revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The revenue recognized relates to a platform license. As of June 30, 2024, the Group held contract liabilities of 0.8 million (December 31, 2023: 1.1 million), which will be recognized as revenue in subsequent periods.

Under the terms of the agreement, Affimed is eligible to receive up to an additional $5.0 billion over time, including payments upon achievement of specified development, regulatory and commercial milestones. Affimed is also eligible to receive royalties on any potential sales.

Collaboration with Roivant Sciences Ltd.

On November 9, 2020, Affimed and Affivant Sciences GmbH (formerly Pharmavant 6 GmbH), a subsidiary of Roivant Sciences Ltd. (Roivant), announced a strategic collaboration agreement which granted Roivant a license to the preclinical molecule AFM32. Under the terms of the agreement, Affimed received $60 million in upfront consideration, comprised of $40 million in cash and pre-funded research and development funding, and $20 million of common shares in Roivant. We entered into an agreement with Roivant providing for the reversion to Affimed of all clinical development and commercialization rights for AFM32, effective April 29, 2024.

The Group recognized 0 million as revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 (2023: 1.1 million and 5.4 million respectively). As of December 31, 2023, Affimed had completed all work on the product candidate and by March 31, 2024 all remaining funds not utilised for the research project had been refunded. As of December 31, 2023, the liability of 1.4 million with regard to the refund was included under trade and other payables (Contract liabilities as at December 31, 2023: 0).

4.     Operating loss

In January 2024, Affimed announced a strategic restructuring which led to a reduction of its headcount by approximately 50% via the dissolution of its research and preclinical development departments. The Group incurred 1.6 million as termination expenses, with 1.5 million included in research and development expenses and 0.1 million included in general administrative expenses, to be offset by cost savings in 2024 achieved by a reduction in payroll, laboratory activities and related costs. Further, this restructuring resulted in the selling of laboratory equipment which led to an impairment of 1.6 million and an impairment of laboratory inventory of 0.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

In April 2023, Affimed had also conducted a reorganization of its operations to focus on the Group’s three clinical stage development programs. As a result, of that reorganization, the Group incurred a one-time expenditure for termination payments of 1.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

The Group granted nil and 570,250 awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 to employees, members of the Management Board, members of the Supervisory Board and consultants. Fair value of the awards at grant date for the six months ended June 30, 2024, amounts to 2.3 million ($2.4 million).

14,138 and 92,976 ESOP 2014 awards were cancelled or forfeited due to termination of employment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 (June 30, 2023: 21,772 and 36,854).

Fair value of the awards at grant date in 2022 amounted to 2.9 million ($3.2 million) and the contractual lifetime of the options was two years. Any unvested awards on the date that is two years following the grant date would lapse, accordingly these are now all lapsed.

Fair value measurement

Expected volatility is estimated based on the observed daily share price returns of Affimed measured over a historic period equal to the expected life of the awards.

The risk-free interest rates are based on the yield to maturity of U.S. Treasury strips (as best available indication for risk-free rates), for a term equal to the expected life, as measured as of the grant date.

12.    Borrowings

Bootstrap Europe

In January 2021, the Group entered into a loan agreement with Bootstrap Europe (formerly Silicon Valley Bank German Branch (“SVB”)) which provided Affimed with up to 25 million in term loans in three tranches: 10 million available at closing, an additional 7.5

11

million upon the achievement of certain conditions, including milestones related to Affimed’s pipeline and market capitalization, and a third tranche of 7.5 million upon the achievement of certain additional conditions related to Affimed’s pipeline and liquidity. The first tranche of 10 million was drawn in February 2021 and the second tranche of 7.5 million in December 2021. The third tranche of 7.5 million expired undrawn at the end of 2022. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the loan bears interest at the greater of the European Central Bank Base Rate and 0%, plus 5.5%. Affimed was entitled to make interest only payments through December 1, 2022. The loan will mature at the end of November 2025. As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of the liability did not differ significantly from its carrying amount (9.4 million).

The loan is secured by a pledge of 100% of the Group’s ownership interest in Affimed GmbH, all intercompany claims owed to Affimed N.V. by its subsidiary, and collateral agreements for all bank accounts, inventory, trade receivables and other receivables of Affimed N.V. and Affimed GmbH recognized in the interim financial statements.

UniCredit Leasing CZ

In April 2019, the Group (through its previously held subsidiary AbCheck s.r.o.) entered into a loan agreement with UniCredit Leasing CZ for 562. In the course of the sale of AbCheck, the loan was derecognized as of December 28, 2023.

13.    Lease liabilities

As part of the original property lease agreement in Mannheim, additional office space has been made available to the Group and occupation was taken on January 1, 2024. This has resulted in an addition to the right-of-use asset of 0.8 million, and a corresponding increase to the lease liabilities.

The lease term for the property leased in Mannheim has been reassessed considering current events following the restructure relating to exploring financing options and discussions held with the landlord and potential sub lessees. As a result, the Group had concluded that it is highly likely that the Group will opt to exercise the early termination option of the lease and therefore terminate the lease after 5 years, reduced from the original 10 years. Together with the reduction in lease term the discount rate used has also been reviewed and reduced from 9.56% to 8.06% for 2024. The lease liability and right-of-use asset has been adjusted to take these changes into account.
