Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to present Collagen Solutions' interim results for the six-month period ended 30 September 2016. During the period, we saw substantial progress made, not only in solidifying our core business and strategy, but also in establishing a strong R&D pipeline of finished devices that will create additional value in the next several fiscal years.

The Group's vision is to become the industry's first choice for regenerative biomaterials by assisting customers in expediting the transition of their products from development through to manufacture. Further, we aim to provide cost effective, functional medical grade collagen materials and devices and also to develop our own finished devices across a range of clinical indications, for the ultimate benefit of patients by providing effective and affordable treatments.

Overview

During this six-month period, revenue (including other income) has increased by around 30% over the H1 2015/16. Revenue growth has come both from our material supply and contract manufacturing activities.

We have refined our goal to create significant shareholder value by setting an ambitious, but achievable, target to grow our revenue by 5x within 5 years, and set upon a detailed multi-phase approach to achieve this:

- Revenue acceleration of core business with business-to-business sales and marketing investments, and improved processes

- Establishing channel partners in selected segments, including distributors for the research markets based in the USA, UK, South Korea and Japan

   -      Geographic expansion, such as in China with the Cre8ive JV 

- Commercialisation through licensing and partnering of "finished devices" including ChondroMimetic, which represents a significant value-creating opportunity, followed by next stage products for wound and bone healing.

In September 2016, the Group was invited to join a second Horizon 2020 grant funded research programme, related to cell-based tissue regeneration techniques. The project is expected to begin in early 2017 and will run for approximately five years, over which Collagen Solutions will receive approximately EUR500,000 of European Union funding.

Results

The Group's results for the six months ended 30 September 2016 are set out in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Revenue (including other income) for the first six months was up significantly to GBP1,891,001 (H1 2015: GBP1,460,218), driven by new products and customers as well as increased revenues from existing customers. Administrative expenses (excluding separately identifiable items) were GBP1,341,652 (H1 2015: GBP898,284) reflecting the increase in headcount over the comparable period in the areas of R&D, quality, operations and finance and administration, and also the increased costs of additional office and production space. Selling and marketing costs were GBP417,143 (H1 2015: GBP266,300) due to the strengthening of the global commercial team, with four new hires in sales and marketing, together with the execution of various marketing initiatives. Adjusted LBITDA for the first six months was GBP418,308 (H1 2015: GBP79,376), and the basic and diluted loss per share 0.60p (H1 2015: 0.26p).

Net cash used in operations during the period was GBP696,751. The Group's cash balance at 30 September 2016 was GBP1,657,193 (31 March 2016: GBP2,493,146).

Board and management

In May 2016, we announced a leadership change which will allow the Group to accelerate its strategic plans and initiatives. Jamal Rushdy, who originally joined the senior management team as Chief Business Officer and has over 20 years' experience in the medical device arena took on the role of Chief Executive Officer. He has a track record of building businesses with successful exits and transforming organisations through integration and performance improvement. Under his direction, the Executive Team will focus on execution of the strategic plan.

Moving to the role of Chief Scientific Officer, Dr Stewart White, Collagen Solutions' founder, now leads our R&D and product-related corporate activities and is focusing on the Company's product development and innovation platform, whilst also realising further opportunities from the portfolio of IP asset acquired from Orthomimentics.

In October 2016, we appointed Kevin Darling as General Manager of our New Zealand operations to succeed Geoff Bennett. Kevin has 20 years commercial, sales and marketing and operational experience with organisations such as 3M (Medical), ensuring the continued scalability of this critical segment of our core business.

Geoff will transition to a Non-Executive role on 1 January 2017, bringing a balance to the composition of the Board and providing continuity and oversight of our New Zealand business.

Current Outlook

We now have greater clarity and visibility not only into our core business and near-term pipeline, but also with respect to specific strategic initiatives. Over the coming years, these initiatives will build upon the strong foundation of customers, people and technologies we have developed since the inception of the Group. In particular I am encouraged by the focus and resource dedication to our three main finished device projects, including the exciting progress being made with ChondroMimetic.

While we are still early in the transformation and acceleration of the Company, I believe we have made prudent investments in our core business and the management team is focused on the right priorities for sustainable growth towards our goals for this fiscal year.

In the longer term, I feel confident that our target of 5x revenue within 5 years is achievable, based upon the strategy that the management team is executing against.

I continue to be excited about the vision for Collagen Solutions to become the industry's first choice for regenerative biomaterials and thank you for your support.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   1.       BASIS OF PREPARATION 

The unaudited interim statement results for the six-month period ending 30 September 2016 were approved by the Board of Directors on 16 December 2016. The financial information contained in the interim report does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 (3) of the Companies Act 2006. The financial information for the full preceding year is based on the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2016, upon which the auditors issued an unqualified opinion, did not contain any statement under section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006. The audited statutory accounts for the period ended 31 March 2016 have been lodged with the Registrar of Companies.

While the financial information included in this interim report has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union (EU) (IFRS), this announcement does not in itself contain sufficient information to comply with IFRS.

The Company is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in England & Wales and whose shares are quoted on AIM, a market operated by The London Stock Exchange. The consolidated financial information of Collagen Solutions plc is presented in pounds sterling (GBP), which is also the functional currency of the Group.

   3.       LOSS PER SHARE 

The calculation of basic loss per ordinary share for the six months ended 30 September 2016 is based on losses of GBP1,026,955 and on 172,391,708 ordinary shares being the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period. The calculation of basic loss per ordinary share for the six months ended 30 September 2015 is based on losses of GBP449,487 and on 171,014,024 ordinary shares being the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period. The calculation of basic loss per ordinary share for the period ended 31 March 2016 is based on losses of GBP980,464 and on 171,210,108 ordinary shares being the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period.

The loss for the period and the weighted average number of ordinary shares for calculating the diluted loss per share for the six months ended 30 September 2016, the six months ended 30 September 2015 and the year ended 31 March 2016 are identical to those for the basic loss per share. This is because the outstanding share options would have the effect of reducing the loss per share and would therefore not be dilutive under the terms of International Accounting Standard ("IAS") No 33.

   4.       SEPARATELY IDENTIFIABLE ITEMS 

Separately identifiable items in the six months ended 30 September 2016 of GBP294,229 relate to unrealised translation losses on the conversion of deferred contingent consideration payments due in New Zealand Dollars for the acquisition of Southern Lights Ventures 2002 Limited in December 2014.

Separately identifiable items in the year ended 31 March 2016 of GBP152,365 related to the release of the contingent consideration provision due to the reassessment of the earn-out payable for the acquisition of Collagen Solutions LLC.

   5.         SHARE CAPITAL 

On 9 September 2016, eight million ordinary shares were issued in relation to the first earn-out tranche to the vendors of the Collbio Group pursuant to our obligations under the Share Purchase Agreement dated January 2014.

Also on 9 September 2016, 217,475 ordinary shares were issued as part of the consideration for the ChondroMimetic assets. A further 217,475 ordinary shares will be issued in September 2017 as further deferred consideration for these assets.
