Operational & Financial Highlights
Hot Features
Premium
-- Lojuxta revenues for H1 amounted to EUR6.6 million, which
represents a 14.6% increase on the same period in 2017.
The Group saw a 13.6% increase in total revenues to EUR7.0
million for H1 2018 as compared to EUR6.2 million for
H1 2017
-- Significant expansion of the Lojuxta licence territories
to include Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent
States ("CIS")
-- Eight new Lojuxta distribution agreements signed in H1
2018 (nine signed since November 2017), which together
cover 23 countries
-- Continued progress of the Group's lead development asset,
AP101, currently in a Phase III clinical trial (EASE)
which is the largest ever global Phase III study in EB
-- New gene therapy platform for EB (AP103) acquired in March

-- Cash at 30 June 2018 was EUR12.2 million with a EUR10.0
million undrawn balance on the European Investment Bank
("EIB") facility as of June 2018. EUR5.0 million of this
undrawn balance was subsequently drawn down in September
2018
Post Period-End Events & Outlook
-- A Paediatric Rare Disease designation was granted by the
FDA which means if a New Drug Application ("NDA") for
AP101 is approved, Amryt will be eligible to receive a
priority review voucher that can be used, sold or transferred.
Disclosed sale prices for vouchers have ranged from $67.5m
to $350m
-- An Investigational New Drug ("IND") approval, recently
obtained from the FDA, permits the Group to open EASE
clinical trial sites in the US which should accelerate
enrolment into EASE
-- The EASE study is progressing well and it is expected
that the final patient required for the unblinded interim
efficacy analysis to be enrolled by the end of September.
Accordingly, the unblinded interim efficacy analysis is
on track and expected to be completed in late Q4 2018
as planned
-- AP103 pre-clinical studies to be concluded in the coming
months with initial results expected Q4 2018
-- The significant momentum built in Lojuxta revenues in
H1 has continued into H2, underpinned by the recent NHS
England reimbursement approval and the first orders already
being received for patients in the UK & Saudi Arabia.
Anticipated growth in distributor markets will also provide
opportunities for continued growth in 2018 and beyond.
Forecasted full-year revenues are anticipated to be in
line with expectations
Joe Wiley, CEO of Amryt Pharma, commented: "During the first half of 2018, we made significant progress across all three pillars of our growth strategy. Our lead commercial product, Lojuxta, has seen revenue grow by 14.6% compared to the same period in 2017, and, with the momentum we are seeing from our distributors and the orders already being received in the UK and Saudi Arabia, forecasted full-year revenues are anticipated to be in line with expectations.
"Separately, and in our active pipeline, our lead asset AP101 is on the cusp of enrolling the last patient in its Phase III trial which means we are on track to report our unblinded interim efficacy analysis in late Q4, with read out of top-line data expected in Q2 2019. We have also received interest from physicians and are reviewing the potential of the product in other indications that could see even further growth for this product beyond EB. We also continue to actively review further growth opportunities that could expand the Group's commercial product portfolio by in-licensing or acquiring further commercial or near commercial assets which will drive future growth."

About Amryt
Amryt is a revenue generating orphan drug company focused on acquiring, developing & commercialising products that help improve the lives of patients where there is a high unmet medical need.
Lojuxta, Amryt's lead commercial asset, is an approved treatment for adult patients with the rare cholesterol disorder - Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolaemia ("HoFH"). This disorder impairs the body's ability to remove low density lipoprotein ("LDL") cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol) from the blood, typically leading to abnormally high blood LDL cholesterol levels in the body from before birth - often ten times more than people without HoFH - and subsequent aggressive and premature narrowing and blocking of blood vessels, heart attacks and strokes, even at a very young age if not properly diagnosed or receiving adequate treatment. Lojuxta is indicated as an adjunct to a low-fat diet and other lipid-lowering medicinal products with or without LDL apheresis in adult patients with HoFH.
Amryt holds an exclusive licence to sell Lojuxta (lomitapide) across the European Economic Area, Middle East and North Africa, Switzerland, Turkey, Israel, Russia, the Commonwealth of Independent States and the non-EU Balkan states.
Amryt's lead development asset, AP101, is a potential treatment for Epidermolysis Bullosa ("EB"), a rare and distressing genetic skin disorder affecting young children and adults for which there is currently no treatment. It is currently in Phase III clinical trials. The European and US market opportunity for EB is estimated to be in excess of EUR1 billion.
Amryt's earlier stage product, AP102, is focused on developing novel, next generation somatostatin analogue ("SSA") peptide medicines for patients with rare neuroendocrine diseases, where there is a high unmet medical need, including Acromegaly and Cushing's disease.
In March 2018, Amryt in-licensed a pre-clinical gene-therapy platform technology, AP103, which offers a potential treatment for patients with Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa, a subset of EB, and is also potentially relevant to other genetic disorders.

Chairman's and Chief Executive Officer's Statement
Overview
Amryt is a revenue generating pharmaceutical company focused on acquiring, developing and commercialising innovative new treatments for patients affected by rare or orphan diseases where there is high unmet medical need. The Group has built a diverse portfolio of commercial and development stage assets and the Company's ambition is to become a world leader in rare and orphan diseases. Our strategy is focused on three pillars:
-- Lojuxta - driving further revenue growth of our lead commercial asset in existing and new territories
-- In-licence Opportunities - actively seeking to expand the Group's commercial product portfolio by acquiring further commercial or near commercial assets to leverage our successful Lojuxta business
-- Epidermolysis Bullosa ("EB") Pipeline - developing our lead development asset, AP101, which is in Phase III as a potential treatment for EB as well as progressing our gene therapy technology (AP103) into the clinic
2017 was a very strong year for Amryt, marked by excellent financial, operational and strategic progress with our lead commercial product, Lojuxta, and our lead development asset, AP101. The Group has continued to achieve significant milestones in the first half of 2018.
Operational Update
Lead Commercial Asset - Lojuxta
Following the completion of the Lojuxta in-licensing deal in December 2016, Amryt became a commercial pharmaceutical company, generating sales across Europe, the Middle East and other licenced territories. Amryt's Lojuxta business has grown significantly since the product was in-licenced in December 2016. Amryt has been growing its distribution network with eight new distribution agreements in H1 2018.
In May 2018, Amryt signed a licence extension with Novelion to expand significantly its exclusive licence agreement for Lojuxta into Russia and CIS, as well as the non-EU Balkan states and is actively seeking distribution partners in these territories. As part of this agreement Amryt, has formally become the Marketing Authorisation holder for Lojuxta in Europe which has marginally increased the level of royalties payable to Novelion. Amryt estimates there may be up to 450 additional patients who could benefit from treatment with Lojuxta across the countries covered by the extended agreement, representing an increase of approximately 25% in the total number of addressable patients in the Amryt territories. The Company believes the total addressable market opportunity for Lojuxta in its territories to be in excess of EUR125 million.
Patent extensions for Lojuxta have recently been granted in multiple markets within our territories including France, Germany, Italy and Spain. The Company expects that these extensions will prolong our product patent in these territories through 2028. The Company has also recently received enquiries from physicians to study Lojuxta in an orphan indication called Familial Chylomicronaemia. Amryt has agreed to provide the product for an investigator led study which, if successful, would provide important proof of concept data in this indication and may support further studies.
Lojuxta revenues for the six months to 30 June 2018 amounted to EUR6.6 million which represents a 14.6% increase on the same period in 2017. Our focus on adoption of, and access to, Lojuxta in new and existing territories is already delivering significant returns and we are confident that this positive momentum will continue to grow revenues for the balance of 2018 and beyond. This anticipated full year growth is underpinned by:
(i) The recent reimbursement decision by NHS England for Lojuxta which has already resulted in the first orders being received; and
(ii) Amryt's strategy to appoint local distribution partners for new territories which is already resulting in new prescriptions as evidenced by the recent order being received for patients in Saudi Arabia.
Since November 2017, Amryt has agreed nine new distributor relationships, which together cover 23 countries. In November 2017, Amryt signed a distribution agreement with El Seif for the key territory of Saudi Arabia and since then has identified over 100 of the estimated 150 patients eligible to be treated. Recently, the first orders for patients in Saudi Arabia have been received and Amryt expects this significant market to help drive growth in H2 2018 and beyond. In May 2018, Amryt signed distribution agreements with Al Hafez Trading Establishment, which operates in Kuwait, Ebn Sina Medical, the leading medical organisation in Qatar, Muscat Pharmacy and Stores in Oman, and Goro Healthcare of the UAE and Bahrain. In addition, Amryt's distributor for Central and Eastern Europe is seeing good revenue momentum in Austria and Lithuania where the first patients have been initiated.
Future sales growth will be driven by existing markets and from new territories. The Group is actively negotiating the initiation of reimbursement in a number of markets and we are optimistic that some of these discussions will conclude successfully during the course of the second half of 2018. In particular, the Group is expecting a decision from France in the coming weeks. If successful, these market-access decisions will allow Amryt to provide access for a cohort of HoFH patients in these territories, which should result in accelerated growth for the business. We have ambitious plans for the remainder of 2018 and we look forward to updating the market in due course.
Lead Development Asset - AP101 (Oleogel-S10)
The Group has continued to make strong progress with its lead development asset, AP101, as a new potential treatment for EB. In January 2016, we received marketing approval for AP101 for the treatment of Partial Thickness Wounds ("PTW") in adults from the European Commission.
In February 2017, Amryt was granted a patent in Japan for AP101. This followed key patents grants for AP101 in Europe and the US in 2016. In March 2017, Amryt commenced the pivotal Phase III clinical trial, EASE (Efficacy and safety of AP101 in patients with EB), to examine AP101's efficacy for EB patients. The first patient was enrolled to EASE in April 2017.
Clinical Trials Update
Adult and paediatric patients with EB are currently being enrolled into a randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial. The proportion of patients with completely healed target wounds within 45 days will be evaluated as the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints include the time to achieve wound healing and changes in pain and pruritus (itch).
Amryt expects the final patient required for the unblinded interim efficacy analysis to be enrolled by the end of September. Accordingly, the unblinded interim efficacy analysis is on track and expected to be completed in late Q4 2018. The unblinded interim efficacy analysis will be conducted by an independent data safety monitoring board and will result in three possible outcomes:
-- Continue the study with no change to sample size, which would reflect conditional statistical power of at least 80% or better;
-- Increase the number of patients in the study to maintain an 80% conditional statistical power; or
-- Discontinue the study due to futility
Assuming a positive unblinded interim efficacy analysis and no additional patients are added to the study, the Group expects read out of top-line data from the EASE Phase III study in Q2 2019.
The Board believes that the unblinded interim efficacy analysis read out represents a significant milestone for Amryt in EB.
During H1 2018, various non-clinical studies, requested by the FDA as part of an IND filing to open clinical trial sites in the US, have been successfully completed. No safety signals or concerns were noted from the preliminary data and IND approval has recently been received from the FDA. This will enable us to open clinical trial sites in the US, thereby accelerating enrolment of patients into the EASE study. Amryt recently received Paediatric Rare Disease designation from the FDA for AP101, which, pending successful approval of AP101 in EB, will allow the Group apply for a priority review voucher that can be used, sold or transferred. The Board also intends to apply for breakthrough designation following the opening of the IND in the USA. Breakthrough designation would expedite the review by the FDA of AP101 upon completion of the Phase III clinical trial.
Potential Future Indications for AP101
In January 2016, Amryt received marketing approval for AP101 for the treatment of PTW in adults from the European Commission. This followed three positive Phase III studies of 280 patients in Grade II burns and split thickness skin graft donor sites. To date, the Group has not launched in PTW. This approval gives Amryt the option to target PTW indications where there is a high unmet medical need.
Amryt has recently received enquiries from physicians to study AP101 in various PTW indications also with high unmet medical need. In response to this interest from physicians, the Group is evaluating some exciting new life cycle opportunities for AP101.
Dermatological conditions currently under consideration include:
-- Severe burns -- Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Syndrome (TENS)(including Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS)) -- Bullous Pemphigoid -- Pemphigus Vulgaris -- Grade III/IV radiotherapy and chemotherapy induced dermatitis
In addition to the indications studied in the PTW Phase III studies (burns and split thickness skin grafts), the scope of the current European Commission approval for AP101 may offer the opportunity to also launch AP101 in some of these indications in Europe.
In order to maximise the value of this asset and following the EASE trial for AP101 in EB, the Group further intends to file applications for orphan designation for some of these new potential orphan indications in the US, Europe and Japan and believes there is significant scope to maximise the value of the AP101 asset through either a global multi-orphan strategy or via the current EMA marketing approval to secure long-term growth.
AP102
In February 2017, we received positive results from a pre-clinical study that compared AP102 with pasireotide, an approved product for treating patients with resistant acromegaly. Significantly, AP102 did not demonstrate the potential to cause diabetes, an observation which, if replicated in clinical studies, could be clinically beneficial in treating acromegaly. Throughout 2017 and the first half of 2018, the Group initiated various additional pre-clinical studies which are ongoing. However, the Board has decided to focus the Group's resources and is currently prioritising its EB franchise and the growth of our commercial business. The Board may seek to find a partner for AP102 in due course.
AP103 (Gene Therapy in EB)
In March 2018, Amryt concluded an exclusive in-licencing of a novel non-viral platform technology for gene therapy in EB with potential applicability across a range of other genetic disorders. This technology has been exclusively in-licenced from University College Dublin ("UCD") and involves the delivery of gene therapy using High Branched Poly (<BETA>-Amino Ester) ("HPAE") polymer technology. The initial focus of development efforts to date has been in the area of EB and preliminary data suggests that the treatment could be a potentially disease-modifying therapy for patients with Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis bullosa ("RDEB"). Patients with RDEB lack collagen VII and pre-clinical data in a xenograft model has shown significant levels of collagen VII in the skin post-therapy. Patients with RDEB lack collagen VII due to a defect in their gene coding for collagen VII. Consequently, the replacement of the collagen VII gene could be transformative for these patients.
Potential competitors working in the area of gene therapy in EB are mostly working with viral vectors to deliver collagen VII to the cell. The patented technology which Amryt has exclusively licenced from UCD involves the use of a novel non-viral gene delivery mechanism using HPAE polymer technology. If successful, this could eliminate the requirement for viruses as delivery vectors and provides a potential competitive advantage to Amryt.
Amryt intends to conclude various confirmatory pre-clinical studies in the coming months and will report the initial results of the studies in Q4 2018.
Imlan
Amryt has a range of derma-cosmetic products that we acquired with the acquisition of Birken AG (now Amryt AG). These products are sold under the Imlan brand. Completely free of emulsifiers, preservatives, colorants and fragrances and other additives or irritants, Imlan is marketed in Germany as a treatment for sensitive, allergy-prone and dry skin. It is also recommended for the basic care of eczema or psoriasis.
Financial Performance
The unaudited results for the current period are those of the Company and its subsidiaries for the six months to 30 June 2018.
Total revenues for the six-month period to 30 June 2018 amounted to EUR7,020,000, which represents a 13.6% increase on total revenues for the same period in 2017. Lojuxta generated revenues of EUR6,591,000 and revenues from Imlan, the Group's derma-cosmetics range of products, amounted to EUR429,000. This compares to total revenues for the 6-month period 30 June 2017 of EUR6,180,000, with Lojuxta generating revenues of EUR5,751,000 and Imlan generating revenues of EUR429,000. Total revenues for the year ended 31 December 2017 amounted to EUR12,778,000.
Gross margin for the six months to 30 June 2018 was 61.4% compared to 59.3% for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017.
The operating loss before finance expense for the period amounted to EUR6,497,000 which includes non-cash depreciation and amortisation of EUR158,000 and non-cash share-based payments of EUR382,000. This compares to an operating loss before finance expense for the period ended 30 June 2016 of EUR5,789,000, which includes non-cash depreciation and amortisation of EUR131,000 and non-cash share-based payment expenses of EUR312,000. Excluding depreciation, amortisation and share based payment expenses, the operating loss before finance costs for the six-month period to 30 June 2018 would have been EUR5,957,000 (2017: EUR5,346,000).
The non-cash change in fair value of contingent consideration which arose as part of the acquisition of Amryt AG in 2016 amounted to EUR4,154,000 during the period. The fair value of this contingent consideration was initially determined by discounting the contingent amounts payable to their present value at the date of acquisition. The discount component is being unwound as a non-cash financing charge in the statement of comprehensive income over the life of the obligation. This current non-cash financing charge of EUR4,154,000 reflects the impact of the discount component being unwound to the statement of comprehensive income in H1 2018.
The loss on ordinary activities after the non-cash fair value of contingent consideration amounted to EUR11,384,000 (2017: EUR13,826,000).
As of 30 June 2018, the Group had cash on hand of EUR12.2 million (30 June 2017: EUR10.9 million). On 2 December 2016, Amryt entered into a five year EUR20 million debt facility agreement with the EIB. The first tranche of EUR10 million was drawn down in April 2017. The second tranche of EUR5 million was drawn down post-period end in September 2018.
The AIM rules on how companies communicate their governance practices have changed and the board recently elected to adopt the ten principles as set out in the Quoted Companies Alliance ("QCA"). These principles will serve as a framework for communicating our governance practices to shareholders and the wider market. Our website and annual report for the year ended 2018 will set out how we currently comply with the principles of the QCA code.
Outlook
The Board is optimistic about the growth prospects for the Group across all three pillars of our strategy. Lojuxta revenues for the first six months were in line with the Board's expectations for the period and we are very encouraged with the momentum created in the first half of 2018, which continues into the second half. We believe there is a significant opportunity to further grow revenues, particularly given the latent and significant opportunities that exist in the territories we currently cover. This will remain a core focus for us over the coming quarters and beyond.
Our active pipeline, including the Phase III clinical trial EASE for our lead development asset AP101, is progressing well. We expect the final patient required for the unblinded interim efficacy analysis to be enrolled by the end of September. Accordingly, the unblinded interim efficacy analysis is on track and expected to be completed in late Q4 2018 as planned. It is estimated that the addressable market for AP101 is more than EUR1 billion. In addition, AP103 pre-clinical studies are expected to be concluded in the coming months with initial results anticipated in Q4 2018.
Amryt is actively seeking to expand the Group's commercial product portfolio by in-licensing or acquiring further commercial or near commercial assets to leverage on our successful Lojuxta business, grow our revenues and provide further cashflow to support continued growth.
Forecasted full-year revenues are anticipated to be in line with expectations.

Share capital represents the cumulative par value arising upon issue of ordinary shares of 1p each and deferred shares of 29.4p each.
Share premium represents the consideration that has been received in excess of the nominal value on issue of share capital.
Share based payment reserve relates to the charge for share based payments in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard 2.
The reverse acquisition reserve arose during the period ended 31 December 2016 in respect of the reverse acquisition of Amryt Pharma plc by Amryt Pharmaceuticals DAC ("Amryt DAC"). Since the shareholders of Amryt DAC became the majority shareholders of the enlarged group the acquisition is accounted for as though there is a continuation of Amryt DAC's Financial Statements. The reverse acquisition reserve is created to maintain the equity structure of Amryt Pharma plc in compliance with UK company law.
The merger reserve was created on the acquisition of Amryt DAC. Consideration on the acquisition included the issuance of shares. Under section 612 of the Companies Act 2006, the premium on these shares has been included in a merger reserve.
The exchange translation reserve was created on the retranslation of non-Euro denominated foreign subsidiaries.
Accumulated deficit represents losses accumulated in previous years and the current period.
Notes to the Interim Results
1. General Information
Amryt Pharma plc is a company incorporated in England and Wales. Details of the registered office, the officers and advisers to the Company are presented on the Company Information page at the end of this report. The Company is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange (ticker: AMYT.L) and the Enterprise Securities Market of the Irish Stock Exchange (ticker: AYP). As used herein, references to "we", "us", "Amryt" or the "Group" in this unaudited interim report shall mean Amryt Pharma plc and its world-wide subsidiaries, collectively. References to the "Company" in this interim report shall mean Amryt Pharma plc.
Amryt is a commercial stage pharmaceutical company focused on acquiring, developing and delivering innovative new treatments that help improve the lives of patients with rare and orphan diseases. The Group has built a diverse portfolio of assets to treat patients with rare and orphan diseases through the acquisition of its AP101 and AP102 assets in April 2016, the in-licencing of Lojuxta in December 2016 and the in-licencing of a gene therapy platform in March 2018.
Following on from its acquisition by the Group in 2016, Birken AG was renamed Amryt AG in 2017. All references in the notes to the accounts to Amryt AG relate to the entity that was formerly called Birken AG.
The unaudited interim results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together the "Group"). The information for the year ended 31 December 2017 contained within the condensed financial statements does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and the auditor's report on those financial statements was unqualified, did not include an emphasis of matter, and did not contain a statement made under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.
2. Accounting Policies
Basis of preparation
The interim results have been prepared on the basis of the recognition and measurement requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union ("EU"), and their interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") as adopted by the EU and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. As is permitted by the AIM rules the Directors have not adopted the requirements of IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" in preparing the financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements are not in full compliance with IFRS and have not been audited or reviewed pursuant to guidance issued by the Auditing Practices Board. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the interim financial information are the same as those used in the Group's audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 and those which are expected to be used in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.
The Directors consider that the financial information presented in this Interim Report represents fairly the financial position, operations and cash flows for the period, in conformity with IFRS.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Where the Group has control over an investee, it is classified as a subsidiary. The Group controls an investee if all three of the following elements are present: power over an investee, exposure to variable returns from the investee, and the ability of the investor to use its power to affect those variable returns. Control is reassessed whenever facts and circumstances indicate that there may be a change in any of these elements of control. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Intergroup balances and any unrealised gains or losses or income or expenses arising from intergroup transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated Financial Statements.
Presentation of Balances
The Financial Statements are presented in Euro ('EUR') which is the functional and presentational currency of the Group. Balances in the Financial Statements are rounded to the nearest thousand (EUR'000) except where otherwise indicated.
The following table discloses the major exchange rates of those currencies utilised by the Group:

(US$ = US Dollars; GBP = Pounds Sterling, CHF = Swiss Franc, SEK = Swedish Kroner, NOK = Norwegian Kroner, DKK = Danish Kroner)
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and amounts reported in the Financial Statements and accompanying notes. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Summary of principal accounting policies
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. They have been consistently applied throughout the period covered by the Financial Statements.
Revenue recognition
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Imlan revenue is generally recorded as of the date of shipment, consistent with typical ex-works shipment terms. For Lojuxta revenues, the Group sells direct to customers and also uses third parties in the distribution of the product to customers. Where the shipment terms do not permit revenue to be recognised as of the date of shipment, revenue is recognised when the Group has satisfied all of its obligations to the customer in accordance with the shipping terms. Revenue, including any amounts invoiced for shipping and handling costs and excluding sales taxes, represents the value of the goods supplied to external customers.
Revenue from services rendered in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income is recognised in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date.
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that economic benefit will flow to the Group, that risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer and the revenue can be reliably measured. No revenue is recognised if there is uncertainty regarding recovery of the consideration due at the outset of the transaction or the possible return of goods.
Research and Development Expenses
The costs relating to the development of products are accounted for in accordance with IAS 38 "Intangible Assets", where they meet the criteria for capitalization. Research costs are expensed when they are incurred.
The assessment whether development costs can be capitalized requires management to make significant judgements. In management's opinion, the criteria prescribed under IAS 38.57 "Intangible Assets" for capitalising development costs as assets have not yet been met by the Group. Accordingly, all of the Group's costs related to research and development projects are recognised as expenses in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred. Management expects that criteria prescribed under IAS 38.57 will be met on filing of a submission to the regulatory authority for final drug approval or potentially in advance of that on the receipt of information that strongly indicates that the development will be successful.
Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. Fair values are attributed to the identifiable assets and liabilities unless the fair value cannot be measured reliably, in which case the value is subsumed into goodwill. In the consolidated Financial Statements, acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in general and administrative expenses.
To the extent that settlement of all or any part of the consideration for a business combination is deferred, the fair value of the deferred component is determined through discounting the amounts payable to their present value at the date of the exchange. The discount component is unwound as an interest charge in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the life of the obligation. Any contingent consideration is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date and included in the cost of the acquisition. The fair value of contingent consideration at acquisition date is arrived at through discounting the expected payment (based on scenario modelling) to present value. In general, in order for contingent consideration to become payable, pre-defined revenues and/or milestones dates must be exceeded. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration will be recognised in profit or loss unless the contingent consideration is classified as equity, in which case it is not re-measured and settlement is accounted for within equity.
Frequently, the acquisition of pharmaceutical patents and licences is effected through a non-operating corporate structure. As these structures do not represent a business, it is considered that the transactions do not meet the definition of a business combination. Accordingly, the transactions are accounted for as the acquisition of an asset. The net assets acquired are recognised at cost.
Acquired Intangibles Assets
Acquired intangible assets outside business combinations are stated at the lower of cost less provision for amortisation and impairment or the recoverable amount. Acquired intangibles assets are amortised over their expected useful economic life on a straight-line basis. In determining the useful economic life each acquisition is reviewed separately and consideration given to the period over which the Group expects to derive economic benefit.
Share based payments
The Company issues share options as an incentive to certain senior management and staff. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an expense with a corresponding credit to the share-based payment reserve. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the awards vest.
For equity-settled share-based payment transactions, the goods or services received and the corresponding increase in equity are measured directly at the fair value of the goods or services received, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If it is not possible to estimate reliably the fair value of the goods or services received, the fair value of the equity instruments granted as calculated using the Black-Scholes model is used as a proxy.
The Company may issue warrants to key consultants, advisers and suppliers in payment or part payment for services or supplies provided to the company. In addition, the Company may grant warrants to subscribers as part of the issue of new ordinary shares in the Company. The fair value of warrants granted is recognised as an expense unless the grant relates to the issue of new ordinary shares in the Company in which case the fair value is recognised in share premium. The corresponding credits are charged to the share-based payment reserve. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the warrants vest. The fair value is measured using the Black-Scholes model if the fair value of the services received cannot be measured reliably.
3. Share-based payments
The Company has issued share options as an incentive to certain senior management and staff. In addition, the Company has issued warrants to equity investors and to key consultants and advisers in payment or part payment for services or supplies provided to the Group.
Each share option and warrant convert into one Ordinary Share of Amryt Pharma plc on exercise and are accounted for as equity-settled share-based payments. The options and warrants may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry. The equity instruments granted carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights.
No share options or warrants were granted in the 6-month period to 30 June 2018. All share options granted in 2016 and 2017 were granted under the terms of the Amryt Share Option Plan and are subject to vesting conditions. No warrants were granted in 2017 and all warrants granted in 2016 were granted under individual agreements as part of the April 2016 share placing. In addition to the share options and warrants granted during 2016 and 2017, a total of 537,280 share options and warrants were in existence at 30 June 2018 that relate to the old oil and gas business.

4. Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions
Acquisition of Amryt AG ("Birken")
Amryt DAC signed a conditional share purchase agreement to acquire Amryt AG on 16 October 2015 ("Amryt AG SPA"). The Amryt AG SPA was completed on 18 April 2016 with Amryt DAC acquiring the entire issued share capital of Amryt AG. The consideration comprises:
-- Initial cash consideration of EUR1,000,000 (paid by Amryt DAC prior to its acquisition by the Company);
-- Cash consideration of EUR150,000, due and paid on the completion date (18 April 2016); -- Milestone payments of:
o EUR10,000,000 on receipt of first marketing approval by the EMA of Episalvan, paid on the completion date (18 April 2016);
o Either (i) EUR5,000,000 once net ex-factory sales of Episalvan have been at least EUR100,000 or (ii) if no commercial sales are made within 24 months of EMA first marketing approval (being 14 January 2016), EUR2,000,000 24 months after receipt of such approval which was paid in January 2018 and EUR3,000,000 following the first commercial sale;
o EUR10,000,000 on receipt of marketing approval by the EMA or FDA of a pharmaceutical product containing Betulin as its API for the treatment of Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB);
o EUR10,000,000 once net ex-factory sales/net revenue in any calendar year exceed EUR50,000,000;
o EUR15,000,000 once net ex-factory sales/ net revenue in any calendar year exceed EUR100,000,000;
-- Royalties of 9% on sales of Episalvan products for 10 years from first commercial sale; and
-- Shares in Amryt DAC that equated to a 30% equity shareholding prior to the acquisition of Amryt DAC by the Company. The Amryt AG sellers received 37,048,622 in Consideration Shares (valued at the date of acquisition at EUR11.2 million) for their shareholding in Amryt DAC.
Fair Value Measurement of Contingent Consideration
Contingent consideration comprises the milestone payments and sales royalties detailed above. As at the acquisition date, the fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated to be EUR23,314,000. The fair value of the royalty payments was determined using probability weighted revenue forecasts and the fair value of the milestones payments was determined using probability adjusted present values. The probability adjusted present values took into account published orphan drug research data and statistics which were adjusted by management to reflect the specific circumstances applicable to the drugs acquired in the Amryt AG transaction. A discount rate of 28.5% was used in the calculation of the fair value of the contingent consideration and this was sense checked by management against the Implied Rate of Return ("IRR") on the project. The size of the market for the products under development provides a real opportunity to the Group to meet its forecast revenue targets and therefore the milestone targets which underpin the contingent consideration payments. At that time management anticipated that AP101 for EB would be ready to launch in 2019. However, management noted that due to issues outside their control (i.e. regulatory requirements and the commercial success of the product) the timing of when such revenue targets may occur may change. Such changes may have a material impact on the assessment of the fair value of the contingent consideration.
It is necessary to review the contingent consideration on a regular basis as the probability adjusted fair values are being unwound as financing expenses in the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the life of the obligation. Contingent consideration is reviewed on a bi-annual basis and is disclosed in the published interim results for the 6-month period to 30 June and the year end results to 31 December. The total non-cash finance charge recognised in the statement of comprehensive income statement for the period ended 30 June 2018 is EUR4,154,000.
One milestone payment consisted of (i) EUR5,000,000 once net ex-factory sales of Episalvan have been at least EUR100,000 or (ii) if no commercial sales are made within 24 months of EMA first marketing approval, EUR2,000,000 24 months after receipt of such approval and EUR3,000,000 following the first commercial sale. No commercial sales of Episalvan have been made since EMA first marketing approval. However, if no commercial sales occur, EUR2,000,000 is due for payment 24 months after the EMA first marketing approval. The Group made this payment of EUR2,000,000 in January 2018. The contingent consideration balance at 30 June 2018 is EUR36,571,000 (31 December 2017: EUR32,418,000).

Where a loss has occurred, basic and diluted LPS are the same because the outstanding share options and warrants are anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted LPS equals the basic LPS.
The share options and warrants outstanding as at 30 June 2018 totalled 42,800,067 (30 June 2017: 37,430,035) (31 December 2017: 42,800,067) and are potentially dilutive in the future.

The Group reviews the carrying amounts of its intangible assets on an annual basis to determine whether there are any indications that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indications exist, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. Impairment indications include events causing significant changes in any of the underlying assumptions used in the income approach utilised in valuing in process R&D. These key assumptions are: the probability of success; the discount factor; the timing of future revenue flows; market penetration and peak sales assumptions; and expenditures required to complete development.

In December 2016, Amryt DAC entered into a EUR20m facility agreement ("facility") with the EIB on attractive terms for the Group. The facility is significant because it provides non-dilutive funding that secures the Group's near and mid-term funding needs for its lead product, AP101.
The facility is split into three tranches, with EUR10 million available immediately and two further tranches of EUR5 million available upon the achievement of certain milestones. In April 2017, the Group drew down the first tranche of EUR10 million. In October 2017, the terms of the second tranche of EUR5 million were amended by the EIB so the Group has the option to draw this amount down any time it wishes. Subsequent to the period end in September 2018 this tranche of EUR5 million was drawn by the Company. The third tranche is conditional on the primary clinical endpoints for the EASE Phase III clinical trials in the US or EU being achieved and therefore it can be concluded that the Phase III clinical trial has been successfully completed. The facility is secured and there is also a negative pledge whereby Amyrt cannot permit any security to be granted over any of its assets over the course of the loan period.
The facility has a five-year term from the date of drawdown for each tranche. The facility has an interest rate of 3% to be paid on an annual basis, with the first instalment paid in April 2018. At 30 June 2018, the Group has short term interest payable accrued amounting to EUR76,000 (31 December 2017: EUR227,000) which covers the period from 3 April 2018 to 30 June 2018. This interest will be paid on the second anniversary of the first tranche drawdown, being April 2019.
A further annual fixed rate of 10% is payable together with the outstanding principal amount on expiry of the facility. Long-term interest payable at 30 June 2018 amounted to EUR1,045,000 (31 December 2017: EUR603,000) which represents the present value of the long-term interest accrued but not payable until April 2022.
