MYMETICS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2017

(UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1. The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN

 

The amounts in the notes are shown in thousands of EURO, unless otherwise noted, and rounded to the nearest thousand except for share and per share amounts.

 

The accompanying interim period consolidated financial statements of Mymetics Corporation (the "Company") set forth herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. The interim period consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

 

The accompanying financial statements of the Company are unaudited. However, in the opinion of the Company, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein contain all adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. All adjustments made during the three-month period ending March 31, 2017 were of a normal and recurring nature.

 

  Mymetics Corporation (the "Company" or "Mymetics") was created for the purpose of engaging in vaccine research and development. Its main research efforts in the beginning have been concentrated in the prevention and treatment of the AIDS virus and malaria. The Company has established a network which enables it to work with education centers, research centers, pharmaceutical laboratories and biotechnology companies. Besides the HIV and malaria vaccine candidates under development, the Company additionally has the following vaccines in its pipeline. (i) Herpes Simplex which is at the preclinical stage and currently on hold, (ii) an intra nasal influenza vaccine which has finished a clinical trial Phase I, (iii) Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) which is at the preclinical stage and currently on hold and (iv) Chikungunya virus at the discovery stage.

 

  As of March 31, 2017, the Company is in the preclinical testing of some of its vaccine candidates and a commercially viable product is not expected for several more years. However, the Company generated some revenue through a small research project with Sanofi for influenza vaccines and from collaboration and grant agreements for R&D services. Management believes that the Company’s research and development activities will result in valuable intellectual property that can generate significant revenues in the future such as by licensing. Vaccines are one of the fastest growing markets in the pharmaceutical industry.

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations and significant losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of E77,630 at March 31, 2017. Further, the Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets by E46,751 as of March 31, 2017, and there is no assurance that cash will become available to pay current liabilities in the near term. Management is seeking additional financing but there can be no assurance that management will be successful in any of those efforts. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

  

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

 

The Company translates non-Euro assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange throughout the period. Unrealized gains or losses from these translations are reported as a separate component of comprehensive income. Transaction gains or losses are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The translation adjustments do not recognize the effect of income tax because the Company expects to reinvest the amounts indefinitely in operations. The Company's reporting currency is the Euro because substantially all of the Company's activities are conducted in Europe.

 

 

CASH

 

We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash deposits are occasionally in excess of insured amounts.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

  Exclusive Licenses

  The deliverables under an exclusive license agreement generally include the exclusive license to the Company’s technology, and may also include deliverables related to research activities to be performed on behalf of the collaborative collaborator and the manufacture of preclinical or clinical materials for the collaborative collaborator.

  Generally, exclusive license and or collaboration agreements contain nonrefundable terms for payments and, depending on the terms of the agreement, provide that the Company will (i) provide research services which are reimbursed at a contractually determined rate which includes margin for the Company, (ii) participate in a joint steering committee to monitor the progress of the research and development which will be reimbursed at a contractually determined rate which includes margin for the Company, (iii) earn payments upon the achievement of certain milestones and (iv) earn royalty payments at the time of commercialization until the later of expiration of the last to expire valid patent rights expire or 10 years after the first commercial sale. The Company may provide technical assistance and share any technology improvements with its collaborators during the term of the collaboration agreements. The Company does not directly control when any collaborator will request research or manufacturing services, achieve milestones or become liable for royalty payments. As a result, the Company cannot predict when it will recognize revenues in connection with any of the foregoing.

  The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605-25, "Revenue Recognition—Multiple Element Arrangements," and ASC Topic 605-28, "Revenue Recognition—Milestone Method," in accounting for these agreements. In order to account for these agreements, the Company must identify the deliverables included within the agreement and evaluate which deliverables represent separate units of accounting based on if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered element has standalone value to the collaborator. The consideration received is allocated among the separate units of accounting, and the applicable revenue recognition criteria are applied to each of the separate units. Factors considered in this determination include the research and manufacturing capabilities of the collaborator and the availability of technology research expertise in the general marketplace.

Fixed price contracts and research and collaboration agreements

  When the performance under a fixed price contract can be reasonably estimated, revenue for such a contract is recognized under the proportional performance method and earned in proportion to the contract costs incurred in performance of the work as compared to total estimated contract costs. Costs incurred under fixed price contracts represent a reasonable measurement of proportional performance of the work. Direct costs incurred under collaborative research and development agreements are recorded as research and development expenses. If the performance under a fixed price contract cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company recognizes the revenue on a straight-line basis over the contract term.

HORIZON 2020

  In April 2015, the Company was selected to receive project grants with a total of E8.4 million. A total of E5.3 million is funded as part of Horizon 2020, the European Union research and innovation framework program and up to E3.1 million of funding will be provided by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) for the Swiss based consortium partners. The grant funds the evaluation, development and manufacturing scale-up of thermo-stable and cold-chain independent nano-pharmaceutical virosome-based vaccine candidates. Of the total amount, E3.4 million is directly attributable to Mymetics’ activities, with the remaining balance going to the consortium partners. The project duration is 42 months and started on May 4, 2015. The Company received a pre-payment from the two granting organizations for a total value of E1.5 million in May 2015 and, in December 2016, the Company received a second tranche of E917 thousand from the EU which will be used to finance the next reporting covering the period of November 2016 to October 2017. Thereafter another tranche of funding from the EU will be received which, accumulated with earlier tranches, cannot exceed 90% of the agreed budget. The pre-payment has been recorded as a current liability and revenue has been recognized as services are delivered.

SANOFI PASTEUR BIOLOGICS

  On December 1, 2016, Mymetics Corporation entered into a material definitive Research Agreement with Sanofi Pasteur Biologics, LLC, the vaccine division of Sanofi (SNY). The project will investigate the immunogenicity of influenza vaccines based on Mymetics’ proprietary virosome technology platform in preclinical settings. If this project is successful it could result in a further and more extensive collaboration between the two companies. The project duration is 6 to 12 months and started in January 2017.

 

RECEIVABLES

Receivables are stated at their outstanding principal balances. Management reviews the collectability of receivables on a periodic basis and determines the appropriate amount of any allowance. There was no allowance necessary at March 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016. The Company charges off receivables to the allowance when management determines that a receivable is not collectible. The Company may retain a security interest in the products sold.

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated over its estimated useful life on straight-line basis from the date placed in service. Estimated useful lives are usually taken as three years.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS

 

Long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The impairment testing involves comparing the carrying amount to the forecasted undiscounted future cash flows generated by that asset. In the event the carrying value of the assets exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows generated by that asset and the carrying value is not considered recoverable, impairment exists. An impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, calculated using a discounted future cash flow method. An impairment loss would be recognized in net income (loss) in the period that the impairment occurs.

 

GOODWILL

 

  Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of a business acquired. The Company typically performs its annual goodwill impairment test effective as of April 1 of each year, unless events or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred before that time. The Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. After assessing qualitative factors, the Company determined that no further testing was necessary. If further testing was necessary, the Company would determine the fair value of each reporting unit, and compare the fair value to the reporting unit's carrying amount. To the extent a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is then compared to the carrying amount of goodwill to quantify an impairment charge as of the assessment date. As of March 31, 2017, management believes there are no indications of impairment.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

TAXES ON INCOME

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax laws or rates.

 

The Company reports a liability, if any, for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. Estimated interest and penalties, if any, are recorded as a component of interest expense and other expense, respectively.

 

 

The Company has not recorded any liabilities for uncertain tax positions or any related interest and penalties at March 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016. The Company’s United States tax returns are open to audit for the years ended December 31, 2013 to 2016. The returns for the Swiss subsidiary, Mymetics S.A., are open to audit for the years ended December 31, 2010 to 2016. The returns for the Netherlands subsidiaries, Bestewil B.V. and Mymetics B.V., are open to audit for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

  Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into consideration common shares outstanding (computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive securities. For the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, options and convertible debt were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive due to net losses incurred under the treasury stock method.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the basic weighted average number of shares was 303,757,622. The total potential number of shares issuable of 595,734,007 at March 31, 2017 includes 566,634,007 potential issuable shares related to convertible loans and 29,100,000 potential issuable shares related to outstanding not expired options granted to employees.

 

  For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the basic weighted average number of shares was 303,757,622. The total potential number of shares issuable of 494,877,358 at March 31, 2016 includes 474,027,358 potential issuable shares related to convertible loans, and 20,850,000 potential issuable shares related to outstanding stock options granted to employees.

  

PREFERRED STOCK

 

The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock that may be issued in several series with varying dividend, conversion and voting rights. No preferred shares are issued or outstanding at March 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

  Compensation cost for all share-based payments is based on the estimated grant-date fair value. The Company amortizes stock compensation cost ratably over the requisite service period.

 

The issuance of common shares for services is recorded at the quoted price of the shares on the date the shares are issued. No shares were issued to individuals as fee for services rendered in the three months ended March 31, 2017 nor in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Stock compensation expense amounted to E12 and E28 during the three months periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and is included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss within general and administrative expenses.

 

ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Fair value guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:

 

 

 

FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company generally has the following financial instruments: cash, receivables, accounts payable, and notes payable. The carrying value of cash, receivables and accounts payable, approximates their fair value based on the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Management believes that it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the notes payable due to the unique nature of these instruments.

 

CONCENTRATIONS

 

  The Company derived 100% of revenue from its relationship with two different collaborative partners during the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016.

 

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Mr. Ernest M. Stern, the Company’s outside U.S. counsel, is both a director of the Company and was a partner in Akerman LLP, the firm retained as legal counsel by the Company. Mr. Stern resigned from the firm Akerman LLP and became a partner in the law firm of Culhane Meadows PLLC as of March 1, 2017. Culhane Meadows PLLC is the Company’s legal counsel effective March 1, 2017. The Company incurred professional fees to the counsel's law firms totaling E23 and E5 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Two of the Company’s major shareholders have granted secured convertible notes and short term convertible notes and promissory notes, which have a total carrying amount of E47,237, including interest due to date. Conversion prices on the Euro-denominated convertible debt have been fixed to a fixed Euro/US dollar exchange rate.

 

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

  In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (ASU 2014-09), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the fiscal and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 using either of two methods:

 

 

  Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Company's pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

  In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other, to supersede the current guidance by replacing the current two-step impairment test with a one-step impairment test. The guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company elected early adoption as of January 1, 2017. Adoption of this is not expected to impact the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Debt Financing

 

Certain principal shareholders have granted the Company secured convertible notes (in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code in the State of Delaware), short term convertible notes and other short term notes, which have a total carrying value of E47,590 including interest due to date. Interest incurred on these notes since inception has been added to the principal amounts.

 

   

  The details of the convertible notes and loans are as follows at March 31, 2017:

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

Revenue was E383 and E405 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, mainly related to the revenue recognized for the work performed under the Horizon 2020 grants and the Research Agreement with Sanofi Pasteur Biologics (only for 2017), to investigate the immunogenicity of influenza vaccines based on Mymetics’ proprietary virosome technology platform in preclinical settings.

 

Costs and expenses increased to E976 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from E376 (159.6%) for the three months ended March 31, 2016, mainly due to the subcontracting services of E372 paid to PXT, related to the Horizon 2020 Maciviva project.

 

Research and development expenses increased to E667 in the current period from E109 (511.9%) in the comparative period of 2016, mainly due to the to the subcontracting services of E372 paid to PXT during the three month period ending March 2017, and an R&D cost accrual reversal of E154 during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

General and administrative expenses decreased to E330 in the three months ended March 31, 2017 from E343 (-3.8%) in the comparative period of 2016.

 

Interest expense increased to E646 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from E642 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 related to existing loans from third party investors.

 

The Company reported a net loss of (E1,239), or (E0.00) per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to a net loss of (E593), or (E0.00) per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

We had cash of E1,537 at March 31, 2017 compared to E1,391 at December 31, 2016.

 

  Our first significant revenue has been generated through the exclusive negotiation fee recorded in September 9, 2013 and the license and collaboration agreement for our RSV vaccine signed on December 27, 2013. As consideration Mymetics had received an irrevocable and non-refundable upfront fee for the license of USD 5 million at the beginning of 2014 and we have received fixed monthly collaboration and R&D fees. This license and collaboration agreement has ended in 2016. For 2017, we anticipate to recognize small revenues related to the Research Agreement with Sanofi Pasteur Biologics, to investigate the immunogenicity of influenza vaccines based on Mymetics’ proprietary virosome technology platform in preclinical settings and some revenues related to the Horizon 2020 project. New significant revenues will not be expected, unless and until a second major licensing agreement or other commercial arrangement is entered into with respect to our technology.

 

 

As of March 31, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately E78 million, and had net loss of E1,239 in the three month period ending on that date. We expect to continue to incur net losses in the future for research, development and activities related to the future licensing of our technologies, and because of the accrual of interest payable on existing loans.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was E988 for the three month period ended March 31, 2017 mainly due to the subcontracting services paid to PXT related to the Maciviva project of E372. During the three month period ending March 31, 2016 net cash used in operating activities was E378.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was (E18) during the three months ended March 31, 2017, related to the purchase of equipment for our laboratory in Leiden, compared to NIL for the comparable period in 2016.

 

Financing activities provided net cash of E1,150 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, related to promissory notes from our main investors, and NIL for the comparable period ended March 31, 2016.

 

  Salaries and related payroll costs represent gross salaries for two executives, our CSO of Mymetics BV and seven employees. Under Executive Employment Agreements with our CEO and two CSOs, we pay our executive officers a combined amount of E65 per month.

 

  Our Swiss subsidiary, Mymetics S.A., has two employees on its payroll: Director of Finance and Head of Manufacturing and Quality. Mymetics BV has, besides the full time Chief Scientific Officer, three full-time technicians and one part-time assistant.

 

  We intend to continue to incur additional expenditures during the next nine months for additional research and development of our HIV, Influenza and Chikungunya vaccines, which we will try to seek through collaborations with not-for-profit organizations. These expenditures will relate to the continued testing of its prototype vaccines and are included in the monthly cash outflow described above.

 

  In the past, we have financed our research and development activities primarily through debt and equity financings from various parties, while the last two years our financing was generated through a license and collaboration agreement and grant agreements

 

  We anticipate that our normal operations will require approximately E1,790 in the year ending December 31, 2017. We will seek to raise the required capital from equity or debt financings, and grants through donors and potential partnerships with major international pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital on satisfactory terms, or at all, to finance our operations. In the event that we are not able to obtain such additional capital, we will be required to further restrict or even cease our operations.

 

Monthly fixed and recurring expenses for "Property leases" of E13 represent the monthly lease and maintenance payments to unaffiliated third parties for our offices, of which E4 is related to our executive office located at Route de la Corniche 4, 1066 Epalinges in Switzerland (100 square meters), and E9 related to Bestewil Holding B.V. and its subsidiary Mymetics B.V operating from a similar biotechnology campus near Leiden in the Netherlands, where they occupy 150 square meters.

 

Included in professional fees are legal fees paid to outside corporate counsel and audit and review fees paid to our independent accountants, and fees paid for investor relations.

 

Cumulative interest expense of E18,581 has been accrued on all of the Company’s outstanding notes and advances (see detailed table in Note 2 to the financial statements).

 

RECENT FINANCING ACTIVITIES

 

  During the three month period ending March 31, 2017, our principal source of funds has been revenues related to the Horizon 2020 project and the Research Agreement with Sanofi Pasteur Biologics and additionally promissory notes from our two main investors.

 

We have filed or are in the process of filing several new grant applications with U.S. and European institutions in relation to our virosome based vaccines.

 

  We anticipate using our current funds and those we receive in the future both to meet our working capital needs and for funding the ongoing vaccines pre-clinical research costs for new virosome vaccine.

 

 

  Management anticipates that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements through the next nine months. We have enough cash presently on hand in conjunction with the collection of receivables, based upon our current levels of expenditures and anticipated needs during this period. For 2018, we will need additional funding through future collaborative arrangements, licensing arrangements, and debt and equity financings under Regulation D and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. We do not know whether additional financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms when needed.

 

  If management cannot raise funds on acceptable terms when needed, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our technologies, take advantage of future opportunities, or respond to unanticipated requirements. If unable to secure such additional financing when needed, we will have to curtail or suspend all or a portion of our business activities and could be required to cease operations entirely. Further, if new equity securities are issued, our shareholders may experience severe dilution of their ownership percentage.

 

  The extent and timing of our future capital requirements will depend primarily upon the rate of our progress in the research and development of our technologies, our ability to enter into a partnership agreement with a major pharmaceutical company, and the results of our present and future clinical trials.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

INTEREST RATE RISK

 

Fluctuations in interest rates may affect the fair value of financial instruments. An increase in market interest rates may increase interest payments and a decrease in market interest rates may decrease interest payments of such financial instruments. We have no debt obligations which are sensitive to interest rate fluctuations as all our notes payable have fixed interest rates, as specified on the individual loan notes.

 

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

No changes of internal control over financial reporting were made in the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

INHERENT LIMITATIONS ON EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS

 

Our management, Ronald Kempers, who is now both CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected.

 

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

 

 

 

 

Neither we, nor our wholly owned subsidiaries Mymetics S.A., Bestewil Holding B.V. nor its subsidiary Mymetics B.V. are presently involved in any litigation incident to our business.
