                                       InnovaDerma PLC 
                        ("InnovaDerma", the "Company" or the "Group") 
                     Unaudited Half Year Results for the six months ended 
                                       31 December 2017 
 
                   InnovaDerma (LSE: IDP), a UK developer of life sciences, 
                       beauty and personal care products, is pleased to 
                       announce its unaudited half year results for the 
                                period ended 31 December 2017. 
 
                       The Company has made considerable progress, both 
                    in terms of revenue growth and new product development 
                      across multiple categories which it believes will 
                      create additional revenue channels and substantial 
                      profitability in the second half of this financial 
                       year, and therefore the Board remains confident 
                      in meeting market expectations for this financial 
                                            year.

                         current growth trends both in retail and DTC, the 
                           Company believes that Roots will contribute a 
                         material level of revenue in the current financial

                           Haris Chaudhry, Executive Chairman said 
 
                       "The Board has undertaken a number of strategic 
                       initiatives to ensure the business has a strong 
                     platform for significant growth in 2018 and beyond, 
                      and these are already beginning to bear fruit. Our 
                       fast-growing product portfolio, improved supply 
                      chain and the recent addition of a highly talented 
                    and experienced senior management team for key markets 
                      are expected to deliver marked improvements across 
                       the business. With good momentum behind the key 
                      brands and significant orders expected, the Board 
                       remains confident in meeting market expectations 
                                   for this financial year. 
 
                       "I am pleased with the initiatives that we have 
                       taken to progress further our core brand Skinny 
                       Tan from self-tanning into a beauty brand and in 
                      the very successful launch of Roots, both of which 
                    are expected to deliver marked improvement in revenues 
                   during this half year. We are confident in our immediate 
                  and long-term prospects and of emerging as a fast-growing 
                       international business with a diverse portfolio 
                    in the beauty, life sciences and personal care space."

                                 Executive Chairman's Review 
 
                                         Introduction 
 
                      I am pleased to present our half-year results for 
                       the period ended 31 December 2017. This has been 
                      a period of considerable progress for the Company 
                       and we have taken a number of strategic actions 
                       to ensure we have strong foundations for growing 
                     our core brand Skinny Tan, diversifying our product 
                     portfolio and expanding our international presence. 
                    Group revenues grew strongly to GBP4.2m, representing 
                       an increase of 31% on the previous year, driven 
                       by the continued growth of Skinny Tan in the UK 
                       and DTC sales. The Group reported a loss before 
                      tax of GBP0.03m (HY2016: GBP0.15m) as a result of 
                   planned investments made in strengthening our personnel, 
                       developing and launching multiple new brands and 
                      brand extensions which are critical to the future 
                     growth of the business. In addition, we are phasing 
                       out old packaged Skinny Tan inventory making way 
                          for a single form global packaging design. 
 
                                          Skinny Tan 
 
                     Skinny Tan has continued its upward trend in growth, 
                     both in DTC where the average number of orders have 
                       increased from 10,000 per month for same period 
                       last year to more than 13,000 per month for the 
                     period as well as marked growth in retail sales-out 
                      from our largest retail chain partner, Superdrug. 
                       Additionally, owing to our very creative content 
                       generation and digital strategy, Skinny Tan has 
                     become the world's most followed self-tanning brand 
                       on Facebook with the number of its followers now 
                     exceeding 300,000, more than any other self-tanning 
                                       brand globally. 
 
                    Creating significant footfall into our largest retail 
                    partner, our highly-differentiated strategy propelled 
                       the brand to become No.1 in its category during 
                       2017 in Superdrug and has enabled the Company to 
                      embark on turning it into a beauty brand with the 
                    launch of multiple brand extensions during the period 
                    with more to follow in H2. This has all been achieved 
                      in a record space of 32 months since the brand was 
                                   acquired by the Company. 
 
                   The IRI data (world's largest independent data provider 
                      for Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG)) highlights 
                       that in Superdrug, our revenues grew by 40% for 
                       the 12-week period ending 3 February 2018 versus 
                       the same period last year. Product revenues were 
                       up more than 100% for the 4-week period ending 3 
                       February 2018 and 65% up week on week versus the 
                      same period last year. For the 52 weeks until the 
                       end of January 2018, revenues were up more than 
                       105% compared to the same period in the previous 
                                            year. 
 
                      This impressive level of growth suggests that the 
                      brand is experiencing significant demand and that 
                       this should translate into substantial upside as 
                       we enter the tanning season beginning in March. 
                      The Company expects to build on this very positive 
                     momentum as it embarks on acquiring new retail sales 
                      channels across UK, Europe, and Ireland during H2 
                               and into the new financial year. 
 
                    The Company has added new digital marketing personnel 
                       to drive DTC in the US with the roll out of new 
                      packaging for Skinny Tan which will be consistent 
                       with all other regions globally from March this 
                    year along with finalising the process of negotiations 
                        with multiple distribution and retail chains. 
 
                                            Roots 
 
                      The Company launched Roots through its online DTC 
                     channel and via Superdrug in August 2017. The brand 
                    was developed in-house through intensive fast-tracked 
                      work between the product development teams in the 
                       UK and Australia and is manufactured in the UK. 
                       The launch consisted of five product lines that 
                   were initially targeted to the market of 40-60-year-old 
                       females experiencing hair loss and dry, damaged 
                    hair. The paraben- free, sulphate-free, vegan friendly 
                       and cruelty-free line of products in attractive 
                      packaging has seen very strong growth in preceding 
                     months, backed by hundreds of customer testimonials 
                       on the efficacy of the products in reducing hair 
                      loss, strengthening, and nourishing thinning hair, 
                      and in making the hair appear thicker and fuller. 
                  Over the past two months, we have witnessed a significant 
                       rise in online engagement and revenue through a 
                    smartly executed DTC strategy, resulting in expansion 
                      of both the shelf space and availability of Roots 
                     in the number of Superdrug stores and a significant 
                       rise in DTC orders. The brand is in the process 
                       of being strengthened further with a host of new 
                      line extensions which is expected to increase the 
                      number of SKU's to more than 10 by the end of the 
                       current financial year. The last IRI data report 
                       for the week ending 3 February 2018 shows Roots' 
                       sales from Superdrug being half of the total of 
                      Skinny Tan's for the same week. This demonstrates 
                       the rapid growth in Roots' revenue over the past 
                                         five months. 
 
                      The Company expects the demand for Roots to follow 
                       Skinny Tan's growth trajectory, and in a market 
                       segment (hair loss) which is more than 10 times 
                       the size of self-tanning. On current trends, the 
                   Company believes Roots will make a material contribution 
                       to this financial year's revenues and earnings. 
 
                                     UK & European 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 stocked throughout all of Superdrug's outlets 
                   nationwide and as a result of its positive performance, 
                     shelf space in their stores has increased following 
                      the launch of multiple brand extensions including 
                    Body Glow and Salon Effects Spray. In DTC, customers' 
                      orders fulfilled through Skinny Tan's website have 
                      increased by 32% per month on a year-on-year basis 
                     to average more than 13,000 orders per month within 
                      the UK alone. To support the growth of the UK, and 
                     European markets, we have appointed multiple senior 
                       team members. Sephora Online in France has been 
                       secured for the launch of Skinny Tan during the 
                      current quarter and discussions are underway with 
                          multiple new retail chains across Europe. 
 
                                         US expansion 
 
                       InnovaDerma entered the US market in second half 
                       of the last financial year through the launch of 
                     Skinny Tan through various retailers and e-tailers. 
                  The Company is in the process of phasing out old-packaged 
                     Skinny Tan which was being distributed at the launch 
                       last year and we are aiming to re-launch the new 
                       packaged Skinny Tan portfolio during the current 
                       quarter with consistent global packaging for all 
                       regions from 1 Apr 2018. In order to support our 
                     growth in the US, the Company appointed Jesse Porto, 
                    who has significant experience in the beauty industry. 
                       He is leading the transition of Skinny Tan into 
                       a beauty brand and launching multiple new brands 
                       into the territory during H2. The Company is in 
                   negotiations with a number of high profile distributors 
                       in Canada and the US and implementing a plan to 
                      re-launch Skinny Tan in its new packaging together 
                     with launching other brands into this large market. 
                   The Company is additionally executing a highly creative 
                    marketing campaign for Prolong(TM) with a simultaneous 
                      launch planned for the US and Australia during H2. 
 
                                             Asia 
 
                     Skinny Tan is currently sold in Olive Young's stores 
                      nationwide and is distributed through PROS Korea, 
                       a distributor for InnovaDerma products for North 
                       East Asia. The Company made significant inroads 
                    in Korea with new orders during the period for Skinny 
                       Tan and the product expected to be marketed into 
                      new territories throughout North East Asia during 
                     H2. Additionally, the Company has been working with 
                      the distributor in planning a launch and marketing 
                   campaign for Roots into South Korea and the distributor 
                       has started the process for the Ministry of Food 
                     and Drug Safety' (formerly known as the Korean Food 
                      & Drug Agency) approval which is required for hair 
                    loss products. The distributor is also in discussions 
                     with multiple retail chains within and outside Korea 
                       for the impending launch of Charles + Lee during 
                      H2 and EnBright (the new brightening range) in the 
                                     new financial year. 
 
                                      Product innovation 
 
                      Product innovation is a key driver of our business 
                    and important to growth. InnovaDerma has been focussed 
                       in ensuring that it keeps bringing high quality 
                   and effective products to its growing global geographic 
                   and client base. To that end, its large and ever-growing 
                       DTC client base allows it to research and create 
                       brand extensions, new brands and to successfully 
                      launch acquired brands. Additionally, the move of 
                     production to the UK at the end of 2016 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 Skinny Tan's 
                      sub brands for beauty, completing the development 
                      and launch of Roots, developing and extending the 
                    product lines for Charles + Lee and StevieK Cosmetics 
                       and in preparation and subsequent launch of our 
                     FDA-cleared Prolong(TM) and Hair MD(TM) in multiple 
                       markets. The Company aims to be at the forefront 
                      of the latest trends in self-tanning, beauty, hair 
                    loss and hair care with product innovation, effective 
                     formulations and attractive packaging which responds 
                                     to consumer demand. 
 
                                          The Market 
 
                      The market for digital-native brands remains very 
                     attractive, especially within the beauty, hair loss 
                       and personal care segments. New brands have the 
                   capacity to successfully identify a niche and capitalise 
                    through the effective, disciplined and highly creative 
                      use of social media and e-commerce channels backed 
                    by relevant and smart-content to create rapid in-roads 
                      and attain a level of success, traditionally only 
                available to global corporates via significant infrastructure 
                                          and spend. 
 
                       Our 30 months' journey towards understanding and 
                       building successful launch strategies digitally 
                     for our various brands has positioned us for a very 
                      exciting phase of our growth where the increasing 
                       pool of knowledge and experience, fast-expanding 
                    client and community base, new brands and geographies 
                    have delivered the template for our success. Creating 
                  incremental footfall in retail and turning newly-launched 
                     brands into one of the best-performing brands within 
                    the category in multiple markets has further cemented 
                       our relationships with our key retail partners. 
                      The Company is now 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 in which it operates 
                            and plans to operate throughout 2018. 
 
                                           Strategy 
 
                    Our objective is to become a fast-growing and leading 
                       business behind strong and innovative brands, so 
                      we are able to deliver significant and profitable 
                      growth. The Company has two lead brands in Skinny 
                      Tan and Roots to spearhead its top line and profit 
                       growth for the second half in multiple markets. 
                      The rapid success of these two brands provides the 
                     Company with the time in which to carefully analyse 
                    future growth markets and deliver profitable revenue. 
                       This successful template of our future growth is 
                     underpinned by the four key pillars of the Company's 
                                       future strategy: 
 
                         *    Complete transition of Skinny Tan into a 
                         fully-fledged beauty brand - The Company has been 
                          continuously researching the markets on both the 
                         supply and demand sides and collaborating with its 
                        retail partners to build further on its core product 
                           portfolio in order to move into new markets by 
                        leveraging its popular core brand. Throughout 2018, 
                          we will be strengthening our core brand through 
                        expansion into new territories and in expanding into 
                                        new beauty segments. 
 
 
 
                   *    Build Roots into the revenue leader for the group - 
                        Hair loss and the hair care market globally is more 
                       than 10 times the size of the self-tan market and our 
                       initial momentum both in online and retail space puts 
                             the Company in the very strong position of 
                          successfully replicating the fantastic growth of 
                          Skinny Tan (post acquisition by the Company) in 
                         another brand. Owing to the non-cyclical nature of 
                        demand in this space when compared to Skinny Tan and 
                              with no geographical limitations for the 
                           demand-origination, the Company is dedicating 
                          considerable internal resources to build on the 
                             substantial market opportunity for Roots. 
 
 
 
                      *    Strengthen the DTC platform through new brand 
                        launches - 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. The Company has approximately 
                          400,000 members in its online community base on 
                       social media platforms and over 250,000 in its client 
                         database which continues to grow on a daily basis. 
                        This successful digital direct strategy de-risks and 
                        delineates the business model, reduces the reliance 
                        on the bricks and mortar retail channel for growth, 
                       improves ownership of the client base and negates the 
                           need to spend significant marketing dollars to 
                       on-sell and cross-sell. In addition to enhancing cash 
                         flow with all revenues realised within a couple of 
                          days of ordering, we can access real-time market 
                            intelligence to optimise the development of 
                       promotional activities and new product portfolios. In 
                        addition, this strategy has been proven to increase 
                           footfall significantly into retailers through 
                                creating immediate consumer demand. 
 
 
 
                    *    Successful launch of Life Sciences portfolio - The 
                        Company is aware of the costs and length of time it 
                          has taken to successfully acquire and build its 
                        portfolio of two FDA-cleared life sciences products. 
                       The importance of our diversified strategy is that we 
                       have ownership of global intellectual property and we 
                        are confident in having the required know-how along 
                          with the necessary resources to gradually build 
                          incremental revenue channels for both devices in 
                                         multiple markets. 
 
 
 
                                           Outlook 
                      The Company is in a strong position of having two 
                       fast-growing, diverse and differentiated brands 
                       in Skinny Tan and Roots to increase its revenues 
                       and profitability. The Company expects that this 
                  will underpin an exciting period of financial performance 
                       throughout H2 of this financial year and beyond. 
                       Coupled with its other brands including Charles 
                       + Lee, StevieK Cosmetics and the planned launch 
                       of its life sciences portfolio the Board remains 
                       confident of delivering a robust second half and 
                      in meeting market expectations for this financial 
                                            year. 
                      Our long-term strategic objective is to establish 
                      ourselves as a digitally-native low-cost business 
                       with a very strong, innovative and diverse brand

                      sciences. We look forward to further progress and 
                  remain excited by the significant number of opportunities 
                      we have to scale this business across a wide range 
                                   of brands and products.

                                    Financial Performance 
 
                      Group revenue increased by 31% to GBP4.2m (HY2015: 
                      GBP3.2m) driven predominantly by Superdrug retail 
                                       UK DTC revenues. 
 
                     Gross margins were slightly lower at 53.2% (HY2016: 
                      57.6%) as the sell down of old packaged Skinny Tan 
                       inventory in Australia and the US was undertaken 
                   to make way for the introduction of new global packaging 
                                  across the product range. 
 
                    Overall expenses were higher, increasing from GBP1.99m 
                       to GBP2.28m. Marketing expenses of GBP0.72m were 
                       lower than in the previous comparable period due 
                       to a reduction UK DTC marketing costs and lower 
                     US marketing costs. Salary and wage costs increased 
                     from GBP0.49m to GBP0.84m, a reflection of increased 
                   people resources required to manage product development 
                      and the introduction of new products in H2 of this 
                                       financial year. 
 
                     Administrative Expenses of GBP0.68m show an increase 
                       of GBP0.28m over the previous comparable period, 
                       a result of increased support costs required for 
                           the Company's significant growth plans. 
 
                    The loss before tax was reported at GBP0.03m, (HY2016: 
                   GBP0.15), which was in line with the earnings weighting 
                       for the first half as against the second half of 
                      the year. As reported in our trading update on 18 
                     January 2018, we advised that there were significant 
                     costs relating to product development and pre-launch 
                       costs for products which will occur in H2 of the 
                                       financial year. 
 
                                           Taxation 
 
                     The Group has used the reported results to estimate 
                       the tax expense which has been reflected in the 
                     Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. The Group 
                    carries a Deferred Tax asset which has been calculated 
                       to reflect movements in the income tax expense. 
 
                                      Cash and net debt 
 
                       The Group carried a cash balance of GBP2.05m at 
                     the end of the reported period as against an opening 
                       balance of GBP0.21m. Capital raising activities 
                     undertaken in October raised GBP4.4m before expenses 
                      and these funds were used for inventory purchases 
                       of new product lines in Roots and Skinny Tan and 
                     product development costs in the Prolong and HairMD. 
 
                      The Group carries no external debt whilst related 
                     party loans were reduced by GBP0.09m. The subsequent 
                  impact reducing related party and intercompany borrowings 
                       from GBP0.41m at 30 June 2017 to GBP0.34m as at 
                                      31 December 2017. 
 
                                          Dividends 
 
                       The Board has elected not to declare a dividend 
                                        at this time.

                     The Board confirms that to the best of its knowledge 
                       the condensed set of financial statements gives 
                     a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities, 
                      financial position and profit of the Group and has 
                       been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim 
                       Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European 
                    Union and that the interim management report includes 
                       a fair review of the information required by the 
                      Disclosure and Transparency Rules as issued by the 
                             Financial Conduct Authority, namely: 
                    *    DTR 4.2.7: An indication of important events that 
                          have occurred during the first six months of the 
                       financial year, and their impact on the condensed set 
                         of financial statements, and a description of the 
                        principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining 
                                 six months of the financial year. 
 
 
                  *    DTR 4.2.8: Details of related party transactions that 
                          have taken place in the first six months of the 
                          current financial year and that have materially 
                       affected the financial position or performance of the 
                          enterprise during that period. Together with any 
                            changes in the related parties' transactions 
                       described in the last annual report that could have a 
                         material effect on the enterprise in the first six 
                               months of the current financial year. 
 
 
                                    By order of the Board 
 
 
                                          Joe Bayer 
                        Executive / Finance Director 15 February 2018 
 
 
                              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 2017, the ordinary share capital 
                      of InnovaDerma PLC consisted of 14,376,633 shares, 
                       with a nominal value of EUR0.10 each. During the 
                       reported period the Group acquired a holding of 
                      2% of the shares of its subsidiary Skinny Tan Pty 
                       Ltd from a founding shareholder. This takes the 
                           holding in that entity from 91% to 93%.

Notes to the unaudited interim financial report

   1.   Basis of preparation 

The interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2017 and for the twelve months ended 30 June, 2017 do not constitute statutory accounts for the purposes of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2017 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The Independent Auditors' Report on the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2017 was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis, and did not contain a statement under sections 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006. The 31 December 2017 statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 14(th) February 2016. This unaudited interim report has not been audited or reviewed by auditors pursuant to the Financial Reporting Council guidance on Review of Interim Financial Information.

The condensed financial statements in this Interim Report have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union.

As required by the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority, the condensed set of financial statements has been prepared by applying the accounting policies and presentation that were applied in the preparation of the Company's published consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30(th) June 2017, 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 2017 and the comparative figures for the six months ended 31 December 2016 are unaudited. The figures for the year ended 30 June 2017 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.   Earnings per share 

The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share is based on the following data:

 
                                 Six months ended                      Year ended
