                                                    InnovaDerma PLC 
                                     ("InnovaDerma", the "Company" or the "Group")

                                                   31 December 2016 
 
                                  InnovaDerma (LSE: IDP), a UK developer of 'at-home' 
                                    and clinically proven treatments for hair loss, 
                                   hair care, self-tanning and skin rejuvenation, is 
                                  pleased to announce its unaudited half year results 
                                        for the period ended 31 December 2016. 
 
                                  The Company undertook a number of strategic actions 
                                 in the first half of the year to ensure the business 
                                    has a solid foundation for long-term growth and 
                                   infrastructure in place to enable it to scale up 
                                    effectively. These actions have begun to have a 
                                positive financial impact, with January 2017 delivering 
                                   the highest monthly revenue ever recorded. This, 
                                  together with the seasonality of the business being 
                                  second-half weighted, means the Board is confident 
                                    of delivering a robust second half of the year.

                                              Executive Chairman's Review 
 
                                                     Introduction 
                                   I am pleased to present our half year results for 
                                   the period ended 31 December 2016. This has been 
                                   a period of considerable progress for the Company 
                                   and we have taken the necessary strategic actions 
                                  to ensure we have strong foundations for long-term 
                                  growth and the capability of expanding our product 
                                   portfolio, scaling the business and improving our 
                                  supply chain and gross margins. Group revenues grew 
                                   strongly to GBP3.187m representing an increase of 
                                   125.5% driven by the growth of Skinny Tan in the 
                                  UK and Direct to Consumer ('DTC') sales. The Group 
                                   reported a loss before tax of GBP0.154m (HY2015: 
                                GBP0.0367m) as a result of one-off exceptional listing 
                                  costs and strategic initiatives which were critical 
                                         to the future growth of the business. 
 
                                        Improved supply chain and cost savings 
                                   We relocated a significant part of the Company's 
                                    manufacturing to the UK and production began in 
                                  December 2016 with the first major order under the 
                                   new arrangement delivered on budget and ahead of 
                               schedule. The production move has improved the Company's 
                                   supply chain to its most important growth markets 
                                   and key customers and, as previously indicated in 
                                 our announcement on 24 October 2016, the cost savings 
                                associated with this move have begun to have a positive 
                                   impact since the commencement of the second half 
                                    of our financial year. Furthermore, the Company 
                                    has undertaken a careful assessment of its cost 
                               base across all operations and successfully transitioned 
                                   its logistics to more efficient models in the UK 
                                   and the US in November and December 2016. This is 
                                  expected to deliver significant additional savings 
                                   in our shipments to end users. Further reduction 
                                    of costs and improvement in service levels with 
                                  multiple service providers implemented in December 
                                   will have a positive impact on our gross margins. 
 
                                                       UK market 
                                   The UK market delivered an excellent performance 
                                  through both Superdrug and DTC, the latter becoming 
                                  an important and growing sales channel. Skinny Tan 
                                    is ranged throughout all of Superdrug's outlets 
                                nationwide and as a result of its positive performance, 
                                 shelf space in their stores has increased on average 
                                 by a factor of four, compared with the average shelf 
                                   space for our products in 2016. This has enhanced 
                                  Skinny Tan's visibility and revenue growth. In DTC, 
                                   customers' orders averaging 10,000+ per month are 
                                  fulfilled through Skinny Tan's website. To support 
                                the growth of our UK and European business we appointed 
                                   Michael Hume, formerly Senior Buyer for Skincare 
                                  at Superdrug, as the Company's General Manager for 
                                                  the UK and Europe. 
 
                                                     US expansion

                                  I am pleased to report is making good progress with 
                                  Skinny Tan and performing in line with the Board's 
                                  expectations. The Company has a retail distribution

                                   Vice President and President of Skincare to lead 
                                                the American business.

                                                  Product innovation 
                                 The production move to the UK has enabled InnovaDerma 
                                   to work efficiently with the product development 
                                   and formulations teams at Prestige Personal Care 
                                 Ltd (HMC Health & Beauty), our manufacturing partner 
                                 in expanding the product portfolio including products 
                                  outside of our self-tanning category. In the period 
                                  under review we have made significant progress with 
                                   creating a portfolio of potential new brands and 
                                 product extensions of existing brands, some of which 
                                    will make their debut in the second half of the 
                                 financial year. In the first half, we launched eight 
                                   new Skinny Tan extensions. The Company aims to be 
                                at the forefront of the latest trends in self-tanning, 
                                  product innovation and effective formulations with 
                                  attractive packaging and being responsive to retail 
                                 and consumer demands to satisfy the increasing shelf 
                                  space at Superdrug and growing its DTC client base. 
                                  Product innovation is a key driver of our business 
                                  and important to growth. Our new key products are: 
 
                                  *    Skinny Tan Professional: The professional spray 
                                      tanning market is a lucrative, captive and highly 
                                       brand-loyal market with thousands of beauty and 
                                     tanning salons within the UK alone. The Company has 
                                    developed a training manual, marketing strategy, and 
                                     product portfolio. The training manual will enable 
                                          therapists and tanners to become licensed 
                                     professional spray tanners. The Company has secured 
                                    some opening orders and is working towards capturing 
                                         and capitalising on this potentially highly 
                                         attractive opportunity in the UK and the US 
 
 
                               *    Lower priced tanning brand: The Company has developed 
                                      a lower price, high volume self-tanning range of 
                                     products with a unique appeal to the multinational 
                                     grocery and mass market retailer channel. These new 
                                     tanning products were developed for the more price 
                                     conscious consumer and will be for retail channels. 
                                    The range of new self-tanning products is expected to 
                                                     be launched in 2017 
 
 
                                 *    Leimo: The development of the Headmaster product 
                                      remains on track for a late 2017 launch. The FDA 
                                    approvals are expected in the middle of the year and 
                                     product prototypes have already been developed and 
                                     undergone preliminary testing in readiness for FDA

                                                      The Market 
                                 There is a growing global trend of clients gradually 
                                 moving away from traditional bricks and mortar retail 
                                    with the rising popularity of digital marketing 
                                  strategies through social media, direct fulfilment 
                                  through Amazon, and scalability of revenue without 
                                necessarily relying on a retail footprint. The Company 
                                 is well prepared through a two-way integrated growth 
                                  model in first creating significant demand for its 
                                    product through a differentiated digital direct 
                                   strategy followed by extension into retail space. 
                                    As it develops new product lines and enters new 
                               markets, it aims to replicate this strategy successfully 
                                  across the markets it is operating in and planning 
                                               to enter throughout 2017. 
 
                                                       Strategy 
                                 Our objective is to become a leading business behind 
                                  strong innovative brands so we are able to deliver 
                                    revenue and profitable growth. The Company will 
                               focus on growing the business in a strong yet sustainable 
                                    manner now that it is on a solid footing having 
                                    implemented structural changes. The key pillars 
                                            of the Company's strategy are: 
                               *    Expand its product portfolio outside of self-tanning 
                                     - The Company has been continuously researching the 
                                     markets on both the supply and demand side to build 
                                          further on its product portfolio which is 
                                    complementary to its DTC and retail distribution. New 
                                     products containing highly effective formulations, 
                                     attractive packaging and value proposition for hair 
                                     care and skin brightening range are expected to be 
                                    launched in 2017 and the Company has already received 
                                    strong interest from high street retailers in ranging 
                                                  those products once ready 
 
 
                                  *    Build on DTC platform - In order to attract new 
                                     clients, increase revenues and improve optimization 
                                       of its DTC marketing spend in the UK, USA, and 
                                     Australia. The Board believes that the DTC platform 
                                     remains the most leveraged channel to the Company's 
                                     direct social media campaigns. In a short period of 
                                      19 months, the Company has acquired in excess of 
                                      280,000 online community base/ fans on Facebook, 
                                      22,000 on Instagram and its direct client base of 
                                     over 120,000 across the UK, Australia, New Zealand, 
                                        Spain, South Africa, USA and Korea, and this 
                                     continues to grow on a daily basis. This successful 
                                     digital direct strategy de-risks and delineates the 
                                    business model, reduces the reliance on retail chains 
                                    for growth, gives it improved ownership of the client 
                                    base and negates the need to spend marketing dollars 
                                    to on-sell and cross-sell. It also enhances cash flow 
                                     with all revenues realised within hours of ordering 
                                     and before the products are shipped (versus 60-120 
                                        days for retail payments) as well as creating 
                                        real-time market intelligence to optimise the 
                                    development of promotional activities and new product 
                                     portfolios. Furthermore, this strategy has resulted 
                                      in the Company creating significant footfall into 
                                    retailers through creating immediate consumer demand

                                                        Outlook 
                                    The Company has delivered a strong start to the 
                                 second half of the year, with January 2017 achieving 
                                    the highest monthly revenue ever recorded. As a 
                                  business which is weighted towards the second half, 
                                  together with the critical steps undertaken in the 
                                   first half, this means the Board is confident of 
                                           delivering a robust second half. 
                                   Our long-term strategic objective is to establish 
                                  ourselves as a business offering strong innovative 
                                    and diverse brands across personal care for men 
                                    and women. The successful manufacturing move to 
                                    the UK and disciplined expansion plans focussed 
                                 on keeping its cost base at a minimum whilst scaling 
                                    revenues and entering new markets with existing 
                                  and new product portfolios. This is being achieved 
                              through its successful digital direct consumer acquisition 
                                strategy and expanding retail and professional channels 
                                 which are expected to deliver strong yet sustainable 
                                               growth in years to come. 
                               The Company places great emphasis on product development 
                                 but is mindful of large investment costs which would 
                                  be unsuitable to a business of its size and scale. 
                                   New product development projects over the last 12 
                                  months have been through a disciplined and careful 
                              plan, and in close consultation with its key distributors, 
                                 retail, and industry experts to ensure that products 
                                 are well-positioned to generate revenues immediately 
                                     through our DTC strategy and retail channels. 
                                   The trading terms with Prestige Personal Care Ltd 
                                 (HMC Health & Beauty) additionally allow significant 
                                   flexibility in both the quantum of the Company's 
                                  orders and timing of payments. It therefore places 
                                the Company in excellent shape to maintain its healthy 
                                    cash flow as it continues its growth throughout 
                                                         2017. 
                                    The Board is pleased with the current direction 
                                  of the business and confident of delivering further 
                                       growth during the remainder of the year. 
 
                                                 Financial Performance 
 
                                Group revenue increased by 125.4% to GBP3.187m (HY2015: 
                               GBP1.414m). The results were driven by the consolidation 
                                   of the Superdrug account from the commencement of 
                                business in February 2016 and strong Direct to Consumer 
                                   ('DTC') sales in the UK. The US business began to 
                                  deliver a steady revenue stream from November 2016. 
                                  The Australian retail orders were unexpectedly slow 
                                  with major retailers still carrying stock from the 
                                                 last financial year. 
 
                                  Gross margins remained steady at 57.6% with a small 
                                  increase on the previous comparable period of 56.2% 
                                  and slightly up on the previous full financial year 
                                   of 57.4%. The reported gross margin incorporates 
                                   the additional freight costs for product shipped 
                                 ex our Australian manufacturers into the UK warehouse 
                               to provide for the UK manufacturing transition strategy. 
                                    After allowing for these "one off" costs, gross 
                                            margins would improve to 60.5%. 
 
                                Overall expenses were significantly higher, increasing 
                                    from GBP0.791m to GBP1.991m. Marketing expenses 
                                  were GBP0.751m higher than the previous comparable 
                                   period due to a significant increase in activity 
                                   with Superdrug higher DTC marketing costs and US 
                                   market establishment costs. The US establishment 
                                  costs of GBP0.123m, while expensed in the reported 
                                  period, are shown below as a "one-off" cost as the 
                                   business moved to revenue generation in November. 
 
                                 Administrative Expenses of GBP0.399m was an increase 
                                   of GBP0.161m over the previous comparable period. 
                                 However, one off listing costs represented GBP0.074m 
                                 of this cost with recurring listing costs of GBP0.035 
                                  expensed during the reported period. Administration 
                                and Employee costs, including listing costs, decreased 
                                  as a percentage of revenue to 28.0% in the reported 
                                   period as against 31.6% for the prior comparable 
                                                        period. 
 
                                  The loss before tax was reported at GBP0.154m with 
                                 loss after tax and other income reported as GBP0.158m 
                                 against a profit after tax for the comparable period 
                                    of GBP0.009m. As reported in our trading update 
                               on 16 January 2017, we advised that there was significant 
                               corporate activity and strategic initiatives undertaken. 
                                These costs have been absorbed in our results. However, 
                                   the table below highlights an underlying trading 
                                    profit of GBP0.129m against a comparable period

                                  The Group has used the reported results to estimate 
                                    the tax expense which has been reflected in the

                                carries a Deferred Tax asset which has been calculated 
                                    to reflect movements in the income tax expense.

                                   balance of GBP0.115m. Capital raising activities 
                                  undertaken in November and December realised a net 
                                  cash inflow of GBP1.256m and a large part of which 
                                 was used to undertake a major inventory build program

                                           Principal risks and uncertainties 
 
                                                         Risks 
 
                                  The Board regularly monitors exposure to key risks, 
                                such as those related to manufacturing of the product, 
                                    cash position and competitive position relating 
                                  to sales. It has also taken account of the economic 
                                   situation over the past 12 months, and the impact 
                                     that has had on costs and consumer purchases. 
 
                                    The principal risks the Company faces relate to 
                                   a) the regulatory requirements in each country to 
                                which it exports and b) cash flow. If those regulations 
                                  change, the company will need to quickly adapt its 
                                strategy to ensure compliance and facilitate continuing 
                                   sales. At this stage, because Australia operates 
                                 very stringent policies on all products, the company 
                                  does not view this as very likely to occur but have 
                                      nonetheless recognized the potential risk. 
                                   Cashflow is another principal risk as, while the 
                                    Company is in its growth phase, working capital 
                                 is under demand to fund the purchase and manufacture 
                                   of stock in concert with trading terms to retail 
                                    buyers. The Group has alleviated this risk with 
                                   recent capital raisings and stands well prepared 
                                     to meet the requirements of it growth plans. 
 
                                                   Capital structure 
                                   As at the 31 December, the ordinary share capital 
                                  of InnovaDerma PLC consisted of 11,844,236 shares, 
                                  valued at EUR0.10 each. During the reported period 
                                    the Group acquire a holding of 9% of the shares 
                                 of it's subsidiary Skinny Tan Pty Ltd from a founding 
                                  shareholder. This takes the holding in that entity 
                                                   from 80% to 89%.

                                 the year ended 30(th) June 2016, which were prepared 
                                 in accordance with International Financial Reporting 
                                      Standards as adopted by the European Union. 
 
                                  The condensed interim financial statements for the 
                                 six months ended 31 December 2016 and the comparative 
                                   figures for the six months ended 31 December 2015 
                                   are unaudited. The figures for the year ended 30 
                                 June 2016 have been extracted from the Annual Report 
                                   on which the Auditors issued an unqualified audit 
                                  report and which have been filed with the Registrar 
                                                     of Companies. 
 
                                  2. Change of Functional and Presentational Currency 
 
                                    The Company has reviewed the existing structure 
                                   of reporting currencies and has decided that with 
                                    the recent listing on the London Stock Exchange 
                                  that the Company will be funded in Pounds Sterling 
                                    ("GBP"), alongside incurring costs in GBP, Euro 
                                    ("EUR"), US$ and the AU$. Having considered the 
                                aggregate effect of all relevant factors, the Directors 
                                    have concluded that GBP will be the appropriate 
                                  functional currency of the Company with the change 
                                becoming effective from 1 December 2016. This reflects 
                                   the fact that the GBP is the predominant currency 
                                   in the economic environment in which the Company 
                                   operates and expects to operate in going forward. 
                                   In line with IAS 21 when there is a change in an 
                                  entity's functional currency the change should take 
                                place with effect from the date the Company determined 
                                   that the characteristics required to identify the 
                                functional currency had changed. The Company determined 
                                   that this change occurred during half year ended 
                                December 2016 and is effective for accounting purposes 
                                   from 1 December 2016. The Group and Company will 
                                   also adopt the GBP as the presentational currency 
                                                    going forward.
