CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
In December 2017, when I announced the financial results for the year ended 30(th) September 2017, I stated that our mantra for this business going forward would be Focus, Realism and Results. It is therefore with pleasure that I present the financial results for Redx Pharma Plc for the six-month period ended 31(st) March 2018, which demonstrate a clear commitment to that mantra.
We have made significant progress with our R&D programmes and I believe the recent setback with our RXC004 clinical programme was dealt with transparently and we have identified a way back into the clinic. Concurrently, we have disposed of non-core assets, completed re-structuring and rationalisation initiatives, and achieved substantial cost savings across the business.
Realism and professionalism remain key to forming validating partnerships, and I am pleased to report significant progress has been made in discussions with third parties across all programmes during the period, and that our interim financial results demonstrate a tight and prudent control of costs and cash flow.
Finally, during the period we appointed Dr. Andrew Saunders as our CMO and more recently, post period and after the completion of an extensive search, we announced the appointment of our new CEO, Lisa Anson. Lisa brings invaluable, relevant experience and contacts to the business and will, as of 1(st) June 2018, lead us through the Group's next stage of development. From that date I will revert to my previous position as Non-Executive Chairman.
Research & Development
Last November we set some near-term milestones, most of which I am pleased to report we have achieved.
The suspension of patient recruitment in our Phase I/IIa RXC004 oncology programme, in late March, was disappointing with the first patient dosed removed from the study to allow recovery from clinically significant side effects that emerged. Importantly, good drug exposure was observed, and only expected on-target Wnt pathway mediated side-effects were noted with no-off target side-effects recorded. This indicates that the compound is hitting the target and the pharmacokinetic evaluation shows a clear pathway forward, and following discussions with the MHRA, we plan to introduce the compound back into the clinic at lower doses, where we would predict target engagement with limited on-target side-effects.
Simultaneously, publications and presentations at the recent American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Meeting held in Chicago highlighted the role that the Wnt pathway plays in immuno-oncology resistance. We presented a poster at the meeting, which demonstrated that RXC004 enhances immune response in pre-clinical models of cancer.
It has also been specifically reported that Novartis' WNT974 competitor programme has demonstrated immuno-oncology, pharmacodynamic effects as a monotherapy in patients at a well-tolerated dose of 10mg, which augurs well for RXC004, which has a longer half-life and we would predict would have similar effects at a lower dose.
In addition, during the period, we made substantial progress in our fibrosis initiatives. In our porcupine fibrosis project, we have demonstrated robust anti-fibrotic effects in a range of industry standard models. Both our lead clinical porcupine inhibitor, RXC004, and a back-up, REDX06109 (from a distinct chemical class in comparison to RX004 and therefore protected by a different patent family), showed inhibition of fibrosis end points in disease models of kidney, liver and lung (IPF) fibrosis. In our Pan-ROCK programme we have now confirmed the good anti-fibrotic effects of our lead compound, REDX08397, in an adoptive T cell model of intestinal fibrosis.
In line with our previously announced strategy to close down our anti-infective research unit and look to partner our assets, we announced in March that we have signed an option and licence agreement with Deinove for our Novel Bacterial Topoisomerase Inhibitor (NBTI) programme, which is primarily focused on treating multi-drug resistant Gram negative bacteria.
On the IP front, we have had the Pan-ROCK inhibitor US patent granted and the RXC004 US patent notice of allowance issued.
Finance
The interim results to March 2018 are the first set of financial results to be largely free of one-off costs and adjustments of the Administration. However, I draw your attention to the cash flow, where a significant unwind relating to the payment of exceptional liabilities exists; these were accrued during the Administration and as such are legacy in nature.
In the Annual Report released last year, the Group cited GBP4m of targeted full-year fixed cost savings. I am pleased to report that we delivered a GBP7m annualised reduction in costs, all of which had been in place by March 2018.
Over the period, the Board has further adopted a robust set of financial controls, including a project-based operating model and associated rolling short-term cash flow forecasts to assist in better prioritisation of resources to projects, resulting in greater transparency and project accountability.
The cash position at the end of March 2018 was GBP10.3m compared with GBP13.9m on exit from Administration five months previously. We continue to focus on our cash balance and run-rate. However, it is worth noting that because of the delay in the RCX004 programme, the near-term cash spend on that project will now be much lower with significant costs deferred until patient accrual into the trial recommences.
The successful partnering of one of our Anti-Infective programmes with Deinove, increased our focus on the core areas of oncology and fibrosis and has created liquidity for the Group whilst retaining the potential for further upside value creation.
The Group has further demonstrated its ability to flex the cost base in line with the liquidity demands presented by the R&D programmes. One example of this is a sub-let agreement signed during the period with Cancer Research UK, which significantly reduces the operating leverage previously created by the 10-year lease and associated rates for our buildings and facilities at Alderley Park.
Outlook
In late May 2017 Redx Pharma plc and its subsidiary Redx Oncology Limited went into Administration and, as a result, we had to execute an accelerated sale of a valuable world-class development asset to meet the immediate demands of all outstanding bona fide creditors. This included Liverpool City Council, along with creditors then falling due as a result of the Administration, including the Regional Growth Funds.
This was an uncomfortable period for all involved and, as a result, your new Board has restructured the business model, as well as insisting upon transparency, realism and a change in culture in the overall management of the business.
Our science remains of the highest quality, but the management of our assets is now more rigorous and akin to that of a small, but thriving, biotech company. I believe we are now fit for purpose and I look forward to working with Lisa, our new CEO, and her team to build sustainable long-term value for shareholders.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. Basis of preparation and accounting policies 1.01 Description of Group and approval of the consolidated interim financial statements
Redx Pharma plc ("Redx" or "the Company") is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in the UK. Its shares are quoted on AIM, a market operated by The London Stock Exchange. The principal activity of the Group is drug discovery, pre-clinical development and licensing.
The Group's consolidated interim financial statements are presented in pounds sterling, which is the Group's presentational currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (GBP000) except where indicated otherwise.
The consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 29 May 2018.
1.02 Basis of preparation
The Group's consolidated interim financial statements, which are unaudited, consolidate the results of Redx Pharma plc and its subsidiary undertakings made up to 31 March 2018. The Group's accounting reference date is 30 September.
These interim financial statements have not been audited and do not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.
The information for the period ended 30 September 2017 has been extracted from the statutory accounts for the year ended 30 September 2017, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS). The statutory accounts were approved by the Board on 20 December 2017 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those accounts was unqualified, did not contain an emphasis of matter paragraph and did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or section 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006. The results for the six months ended 31 March 2017 are unaudited.
1.03 Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial information for the six months ended 31 March 2018 are in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as adopted by the European Union and are consistent with those adopted in the annual statutory financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2017 and those which will be adopted in the annual statutory financial statements for the year ending 30 September 2018.
While the financial information included has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union (EU), the interim financial statements do not contain sufficient information to comply with IFRS's.
1.04 Segmental information
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The Board of Directors and the Chief Financial Officer are together considered the chief operating decision-maker and as such are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of operating segments.
The Directors consider that there are no identifiable business segments that are subject to risks and returns different to the core business. The information reported to the Directors, for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of performance is based wholly on the overall activities of the Group.
The Group has therefore determined that it has only one reportable segment.
1.05 Revenue
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Revenues from the sale of intellectual property, where there are no obligations subsequent to delivery, are recognised when significant risks and rewards have transferred which is considered to be the point at which all patents and other information in accordance with the substance of the agreement are handed over.
Revenues from the grant of an option over a license agreement, where there are no obligations subsequent to the granting of the option, are recognised as soon as all information in accordance with the substance of the agreement is handed over.
1.06 Going concern
As part of their going concern review the Directors have followed the guidelines published by the Financial Reporting Council entitled "Guidance on Risk Management and Internal Control and Related Financial and Business Reporting".
The Group made a net loss of GBP4.6m during the period, following the entering into an option for a license agreement of one of its Anti-infectives programmes, and after taking into account the final costs associated with two Group companies, Redx Pharma Plc and Redx Oncology Limited, entering Administration in May 2017. The Directors are satisfied, based on detailed cash flow projections and after the consideration of reasonable sensitivities, that sufficient liquidity is available to meet the Group's needs as they fall due for the foreseeable future and at least 12 months from the date of signing the interim financial statements.
The detailed cash flow assumptions are based on the Group's projections, prepared and approved by the Board, which reflects a number of key assumptions in respect of project costs, overheads and discretionary spend, underpinned by the current pipeline.
No revenue has been assumed in the forecasts, save for that generated from subletting unused space. The Group is already in discussions with third-parties in respect of partnerships and the licensing of non-core assets in addition to the Deinove option already granted. As highlighted in the Chairman's statement, delays to the RXC004 trial has meant that near term expenditure on that project will be lower & some expenditure deferred. The forecasts indicate that the Group has a cash runway through to mid calendar year 2019 and its ability to continue to develop its programmes thereafter is dependent on entering a partnership agreement or an additional fund raise. The Group is already in discussions with third-parties in respect of partnerships and the licensing of non-core assets and furthermore, the Group continues to have the ability to seek to raise additional funds on capital markets.
In the absence of such opportunities in relation to partnerships and the licensing of non-core assets coming to fruition, or of the ability to raise additional funds on capital markets before mid-calendar year 2019 or in the unlikely event of the Group becoming liable to pay tax on the disposal of the BTK Program, management has identified further discretionary spending areas which can be reduced to allow the Group to extend its cash runway further into 2019. These can be made without impinging on the ability of key programmes to reach value inflexion points.
On the basis of the above review, the Directors are confident that the Group has sufficient liquidity to honour all of its obligations to creditors as and when they fall due. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Financial Statements.
2. Revenue
In August 2017, the Group sold its BTK inhibitor drug development programme and related IP to Loxo Oncology Inc. for $40m. The sale included certain patents, intellectual property, contracts for product manufacture, and physical materials relating to that program.
In March 2018, the Group granted an option for a license agreement with Deinove.

3. Clawback of Regional Growth Fund grant funding
The Group has, in past years, received Regional Growth Funds (RGF) grants administered by the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy of the UK Government. Under the terms of the grant awards, clawback amounts became repayable on Redx Pharma plc entering Administration. During the course of the Administration, a full and final settlement was reached. It was repaid as part of the exit from Administration.

4. Write off of Derivative financial instrument
On 1 March 2017 the Company issued 11,500,000 new ordinary shares of 0.1p each ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 37.5p per share to Lanstead Capital for GBP4,312,500. The Company simultaneously entered into an equity swap with Lanstead for 85 per cent of these shares with a reference price of 50p per share (the "Reference Price"). The equity swap was for an 18-month period ending in October 2018. All 11,500,000 Ordinary Shares were allotted with full rights on the date of the transaction.
Of the subscription proceeds of GBP4,312,500 received from Lanstead, GBP3,665,625 (85 per cent) was invested by the Company in the equity swap.
Investment in the equity swap was a condition of the placing with Lanstead.
In the period to 24 May 2017, which was the date of Redx Pharma plc entering Administration, GBP106,000 had been received by the Group under the terms of the swap.
As a consequence of entering Administration, the terms of the equity swap were such that it terminated with no further benefit to the Company. The remaining balance of GBP3.56m was therefore written off.

5. Administration
On 24 May 2017, two companies within the Group, Redx Pharma plc and Redx Oncology Limited were placed into Administration as a result of the default on repaying a loan from Liverpool City Council. FRP Advisory LLP were appointed as Administrators. Dealing in the shares of the Group on the AIM market was suspended on 24 May 2017. As at 30 September 2017 those companies remained in Administration. They exited Administration on 2 November 2017, when control was returned to the Directors. The costs directly associated with the Administration (including a provision for costs up to the end of the Administration), principally Administrators' costs, legal costs and taxation costs, have been separately disclosed on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive income.

The loan of GBP714k was granted to Redag Crop Protection Ltd as part of the sale of the former subsidiary. It bears interest at 5% repayable with the principal sum. The loan is unsecured, and is only repayable on the sale, listing, or change of control of Redag Crop Protection Ltd.
At 30 September 2017, the total amount outstanding (including accrued interest), was GBP821k before a fair value adjustment was made to reflect the non-current nature of the asset, amounting to GBP180k. Following review, and as a result of the conditionality attached to the repayment of the loan, the Directors have derecognised it as an asset in accordance with International Accounting Standards.
Whilst the loan has been de-recognised as an asset, the Directors do not consider it to be extinguished and will continue to seek full repayment under its terms.
8. Share-based compensation
Share options have been issued to certain directors and
staff during the period, and the charge arising is shown
below. The fair value of the options granted has been calculated
using a Black--Scholes model.

11. (Loss) / earnings per Share
Basic (loss)/earnings per share is calculated by dividing
the net income for the period attributable to ordinary equity
holders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the period.
In the case of diluted amounts, the denominator also includes
ordinary shares that would be issued if any dilutive potential
ordinary shares were issued following conversion of loans
or exercise of share options.
The basic and diluted calculations are based on the following:

The loss and the weighted average number of shares used for
calculating the diluted loss per share in 2018 and the half
year to 31 March 2017 are identical to those for the basic
loss per share. This is because the outstanding share options
would have the effect of reducing the loss per share and
would therefore not be dilutive under IAS 33 Earnings per
Share.
INDEPENT REVIEW REPORT TO REDX PHARMA PLC
Introduction
We have been engaged by the Company to review the consolidated interim financial statements in the interim financial report for the six months ended 31 March 2018 which comprises the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the related explanatory Notes. We have read the other information contained in the interim financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.
This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "'Review of Interim Financial Information performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to them in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.
Directors' Responsibilities
The interim financial report, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing and presenting the interim financial report in accordance with the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange.
As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee pronouncements as adopted by the European Union. The consolidated interim financial statements included in this interim financial report have been prepared in accordance with the presentation, recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee pronouncements, as adopted by the European Union.
Our Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the consolidated interim financial statements in the interim financial report based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated interim financial statements in the interim financial report for the six months ended 31 March 2018 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the presentation, recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee pronouncements as adopted by the European Union, and the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange.
