Interim Management Report
Summary
PureTech is a science-driven healthcare company, seeking to solve some of today's toughest health challenges through disruptive approaches. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, PureTech has a pipeline of 12 operating companies, seven of which are "growth stage" with external validation including strategic partnerships, outside funding, clinical proof-of-concept and/or peer review in prestigious scientific journals. PureTech is problem-focused and solution-agnostic, looking beyond traditional disciplines and approaching healthcare problems from a new perspective. Focusing on areas of significant unmet medical need, PureTech evaluates more than 650 ideas per year, prioritizing, selecting and testing what it believes to be the most scientifically and commercially promising concepts to advance. PureTech's leading team and board, along with an advisory network of more than 50 experts across multiple disciplines, gives PureTech access to potentially groundbreaking science and technological innovations. 
The global annual public and industry expenditure on the study of health and disease increased from $209 billion in 2004 to $265billion in 2011. The U.S. National Institutes of Health alone invests nearly $30 billion annually on research within the U.S. The Directors believe that PureTech has assembled the infrastructure, knowledge, personnel and approach to commercialise promising technologies from this international pool of scientific research. The Directors also believe that PureTech's cross disciplinary approach is particularly suited to addressing a healthcare environment where convergence of previously unrelated disciplines is becoming especially prominent, as is demonstrated by technology and other traditionally nonhealthcare companies (such as Apple, Google, Nestl, Qualcomm and Samsung) having become participants in the healthcare market in recent years.
On 24 June 2015, PureTech Health plc was admitted to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and began trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange for listed securities under the ticker "PRTC". The Directors believe that the IPO will: increase PureTech's public profile and status with existing and potential partners; diversify sources of funding to support PureTech's long-term growth; assist in the incentivisation and retention of key management and employees; and provide investors with an opportunity to gain exposure to PureTech's innovative companies and pipeline programs.
During the first half of 2015, PureTech also expanded its Board of Directors by electing two new members to the Board: Chris Viehbacher, former CEO of Sanofi, and Marjorie Scardino, former CEO of Pearson. They join PureTech's existing non-executive Board members, Mr. Joi Ito, PureTech Chairman and Director of the MIT Media Lab and board member of Sony, the MacArthur Foundation, The New York Times, the Knight Foundation and Mozilla; Dr. Robert Langer, PureTech Co-founder and David H. Koch Institute Professor at MIT; Dr. Ben Shapiro, former Executive Vice President Merck Research Laboratories; Dr. John LaMattina, former President of R&D at Pfizer Global Research and Development; and Dr. Raju Kucherlapati, Paul C. Cabot Professor in the Harvard Medical School Department of Genetics, co-founder of Millennium Pharmaceuticals and Abgenix, and Member of President Obama's Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues. The Company also added a Senior VP of Communications and Investor Relations and a VP of Talent Acquisition to the management team. 
PureTech and its operating companies have been positively engaging with potential industrial and financial partners, and have received numerous expressions of interest in their products. This interest has translated into several new relationships for PureTech's companies. In January 2015, Vedanta Biosciences entered into a collaboration agreement with Janssen Biotech, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, out-licensing one of Vedanta's product candidates VE202 in a licensing deal valued at up to $339 million. Vedanta Biosciences continues to receive industry interest in its other microbiome candidates and technologies. In the same month, Akili also entered into a collaboration with Autism Speaks, a leading patient advocacy group, to run a clinical study in autism. In March 2015, both Gelesis and Tal closed financing rounds of $22.3 million and $14.5 million, respectively, including the conversion of promissory notes. In August 2015, Karuna received the Translation Fund Award from the Wellcome Trust comprising an unsecured convertible loan to Karuna of up to $3.84 million. Existing collaborations, such as Akili's collaboration with Pfizer and Entrega, Inc.'s ("Entrega") collaboration with Google X, also continue to be on track. 
PureTech's operating companies have also made strong progress in their research and development programs. Following receipt of non-significant risk designation from the FDA for its on-going weight loss study, Gelesis expanded the study into the U.S. to serve as a pivotal study in the U.S thereby accelerating timelines for FDA submission by approximately one year. Gelesis also completed its $1.1 million acquisition of Academica Life Sciences S.r.l. providing for the expansion of certain of its intellectual property rights. In terms of near-term clinical milestones, Akili remains on track for the announcement of the results of its proof of concept ADHD study data later this year, and Tal remains on track for the read-out of its depression proof of concept data in the first half of 2016. 
PureTech has also continued to develop its five project phase operating companies and 10 concept stage initiatives. For example, the Sync Project, Inc., a PureTech operating company that is building a platform to scientifically measure and harness music to improve health, announced a partnership with Berklee College of Music's Institute for Creative Entrepreneurship which will center on collaboration on original research. Berklee College of Music is one of the world's leading colleges of contemporary music. The Sync Project also hired Marko Ahtisaari, former top designer at Nokia and entrepreneur, as CEO. In addition, PureTech formed Sonde Health, Inc., an operating company that is developing voice-based tools for the remote assessment and tracking of patient health.
Also in the first half of 2015, PureTech, its management and its operating companies have been recognized in the industry through publications, awards, and media coverage. A few of these are highlighted below:
 PureTech and its operating companies have been featured in publications, including: The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, The Boston Globe, Reuters, National Public Radio, Fast Company, The Atlantic, The Economist, Scientific American, Nature Biotechnology, and Nature Medicine;
 PureTech's Entrega Bio was named a 2015 Global Game Changer by The Boston Globe; PureTech's Vedanta Biosciences and Tal Medical were recognized as potential "next biotech breakthroughs" by the Boston Globe;
 PureTech launched a recurring column in Nature Biotechnology. The first article, "Defining Digital Medicine," ranked first in online and mainstream media attention among articles of a similar age in the publication. Also published was an article "A regulatory framework emerges for digital medicine";
 PureTech Co-Founder and Non-Executive Director, Dr. Robert Langer was awarded the 2015 Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering and was awarded the Scheele Award for his extraordinary achievement in Pharmaceutical Sciences. Dr. Langer was also honoured with CEO Daphne Zohar and Independent Non-Executive Director Dr. Raju Kucherlapati among the top 100 biotech visionaries by Scientific American. PureTech Vice President Dr. Bernat Olle was honoured with the prestigious Princess of Girona Award from the King of Spain.

The Directors are pleased by these and other advancements across the Group, in particular, the continued positive engagement with potential strategic and financial partners to fund and/or co-develop existing or new technologies.
PureTech and Operating Company Review
Overview
During the first half of 2015, PureTech raised gross proceeds of approximately $250 million through its successful IPO (including the exercise in full of the over-allotment option post period end) and a prior round of private financing. PureTech deployed $9.2 million of capital into the Company's businesses, with the expectation to ramp up deployment in a milestone-driven manner in the second half of 2015 going into 2016. 
PureTech currently has a 75 per cent average shareholding in its twelve operating companies on a diluted basis, and plans to continue to invest in and support its most promising companies. Additionally, PureTech has ten concept-phase initiatives which the Company is actively pursuing and has obtained options to a number of promising technologies. These concept-phase initiatives have the potential to develop into the Group's future operating companies. Below we provide an overview of existing operating companies, including key financings completed and other significant updates.

Operational Highlights 
Vedanta Biosciences
Vedanta Biosciences is developing an innovative class of drugs based on research into the human microbiome (the population of microorganisms that inhabit the human body). In January 2015, Vedanta Biosciences entered into a collaboration, license and option agreement with Janssen Biotech to develop and commercialise a microbiome product candidate VE202. The agreement included a non-refundable upfront payment and development and commercialisation milestone payments of up to $339million plus tiered royalties from the high single digits to the low teens. The non-refundable upfront payment is being used to support further development of Vedanta Bioscience's platform and other product candidates. 
Gelesis
Gelesis is a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on the development of innovative products to induce weight loss and potentially improve glycaemic control in overweight and obese patients, including those that are prediabetic and those that have type2 diabetes. Its lead product candidate is Gelesis100, which is based on Gelesis' proprietary hydrogel technology that works mechanically (rather than chemically) and exclusively in the GI tract. Gelesis has completed a three month proofofconcept study of Gelesis100 that demonstrated statistically significant weight loss in overweight and obese patients, including prediabetic patients. In March 2015, Gelesis closed a $22.3 million financing, including the conversion of promissory notes, with PureTech investing $3 million in the financing. The funding will help support further development of Gelesis' lead product, Gelesis100, as well as Gelesis200.
Tal
Tal is a clinical stage medical device company developing an innovative, noninvasive treatment for depression and other psychiatric disorders based on a proprietary low field magnetic stimulation (LFMS) technology, delivered through a small tabletop device. LFMS utilises a rapidlyoscillating magnetic field, which the Directors believe has the ability to affect brain neurocircuitry that plays a role in depression. In two randomised controlled studies, a single 20minute LFMS treatment has demonstrated rapid onset of action in depression patients, without any observed major side effects.In March 2015, Tal closed a financing round of $14.5 million, including the conversion of promissory notes, with PureTech investing $5 million in the financing. The funding will help support further research and development of Tal's LFMS technology in both depression and bipolar disorder.
Post-period Highlights 
Gelesis
In July 2015, Gelesis received non-significant risk designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its ongoing study, GLOW (Gelesis Loss of Weight). As a result of this designation, Gelesis can now recruit U.S. patients into the GLOW study. Gelesis anticipates recruiting at least an additional 168 patients from the U.S. and expanding the study to at least 336 patients. The expanded study can serve as the pivotal study for FDA approval, with the submission for FDA approval of Gelesis100 now scheduled for the first half of 2017, rather than the first half of 2018. 
Karuna
Karuna is a clinical stage company developing an innovative therapy, KarXT, for the potential treatment of schizophrenia. KarXT targets the muscarinic system through a proprietary combination of xanomeline, an inlicensed small molecule drug, and a muscarinic antagonist (trospium chloride) that does not cross the bloodbrain barrier. Xanomeline has already demonstrated human efficacy proofofconcept. The Directors believe that combining xanomeline with trospium chloride may reduce the side effects typically seen with xanomeline. In August 2015, Karuna received a Translation Fund Award from the Wellcome Trust comprising an unsecured convertible loan of up to $3.84 million. The funding will help support Karuna's safety proof of concept study in 2016.
Summary and Outlook
PureTech has enjoyed a transformational period: the Company has raised gross proceeds of approximately $250 million, significantly expanded its Board of Directors and is driving its operating companies forward toward commercialization. This fundraising and the position of the operating companies set the stage for the next chapter in the development of the Company.
Operating Company Overview and Valuation
PureTech currently has a 75 per cent average shareholding in its operating companies on a diluted basis. PureTech's operating companies are fully consolidated in PureTech's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. As a result, the consolidated statements of financial position incorporated within PureTech's consolidated financial statements do not include current valuations of the Group's operating companies. Because of this and given the Company's limited revenue thus far given that its products are still in clinical development, the Directors believe that the Group's consolidated financial statements do not currently provide a meaningful standalone basis for assessing the value or performance of PureTech.
As a result, at the close of each annual financial period, the Directors plan to estimate, and formally approve, the value of all growth stage operating companies in the Group, which is used to derive the Aggregate Value of Growth Stage Operating Company Holdings ("Aggregate Holdings"). The Aggregate Holdings was $222.4 million as of 31 December 2014 based on the PureTech's holdings in its seven growth stage companies. The Aggregate Holdings value does not include PureTech's five project phase companies, its 10 concept phase initiatives or the amount of cash and short term investments held at the parent company level. The Directors believe that the performance of the Group can be assessed by reference to the movement in the valuation of its growth stage operating companies over time. Further details about the Aggregate Holdings and the Group valuation methodology are disclosed in the consolidated financial information in the prospectus prepared in connection with the offer of ordinary shares of the Company on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange (the "Prospectus").

(1) Operating expenses include non-cash share-based compensation charges of $4.3 million in H12015 and $0.3 million in H12014.
(2) General and administrative expenses include $3.4 million of IPO related expenses in H12015.
Revenue increased by $9.8million to $10.9million during the first half of 2015 (HY14: $1.1 million). This increase is primarily attributable to a $10.0 million non-refundable payment Vedanta Biosciences received as part of its collaboration with Janssen Biotech to develop and commercialise VE202, a microbiome product candidate.
Operating expenses, comprised of general and administrative and research and development expenses, increased by $16.5 million to $22.6 million during the first half of 2015 (HY14: $6.1 million) reflecting the significant expansion of activities at Growth Stage Operating Companies, parent company IPO preparation costs and business development efforts to identify new technologies and start-up investments in operating companies. Non-cash share based compensation accounted for $4.0 million of the increase in operating expenses. The number of persons employed by the Group increased by 22 or 56% to 61 during the first half of 2015 (HY14: 39), with an 83% increase in the number of R&D personnel to 33 (HY14: 18) and a 33% increase in the number of G&A personnel to 28 (HY14: 21). The Directors expect the number of persons employed by the group to further increase in the second half of 2015. The drivers of the increase in general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses are highlighted below.
General and administrative expenses increased $11.8 million to $15.9 million during the first half of 2015 (HY14: $4.1 million). The increase is primarily attributable to:
$5.8 million related to personnel expenses, of which $4.1 million represents non-cash share based compensation and $1.2 million of incentive compensation, primarily related to the June 2015 PureTech Health plc IPO;
$3.4 million to professional services associated with the June 2015 PureTech Health plc IPO, which were not otherwise offset against the net proceeds of the offering and with the Gelesis' filing of a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC relating to a proposed initial public offering of its common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market. Gelesis will consider general market conditions at the time if the company decides to proceeds with the initial public offering; and
$2.6 million for all other G&A expenses supporting program expansion and advancement at the operating companies and PureTech Health plc's public company costs.
Research and development expenses increased $4.8 million to $6.7 million during the first half of 2015 (HY14: $1.9 million). The increase is mainly due to:
$1.4 million related to Gelesis clinical studies and support costs;
$1.2 million related to personnel expenses at operating companies supporting advancement in research and development programs; 
$1.2 million of non-personnel expenses invested in Akili, Tal, Entrega and The Sync Project programs; and
$1.0 million sublicense fee to the University of Tokyo in relation to the $10.0 million payment received by Vedanta Biosciences from Janssen Biotech
Operating loss increased by $6.7 million to $11.6 million during the first half of 2015 (HY14: $4.9 million) reflecting the factors above and the overall growth of the Group and its accelerating research and development activities across its Growth Stage Operating Companies. 
The Group's net finance costs decreased by $24 million to $3.9million during the first half of 2015 (HY14: $27.9 million). This decrease results from a $23.4 million decline in finance costs to $4.5 million and a $0.6 million increase in finance income. The decline in finance costs is primarily due to lower IAS 39 fair value non-cash accounting charges in 2015 related to the fair value of subsidiary preferred stock, warrant and convertible note derivatives.
The Group incurred a loss before taxes of $15.5million during the first half of 2015 (HY14: $32.8 million). The $17.3million decrease in the first half of 2015 results from a $6.7 million increase in operating loss offset by a decline of $24 million in net finance costs. The loss before income taxes pre IAS 39 fair value accounting adjustments was $13.8 million during the first half of 2015 (HY14: $5.3 million).
The Group recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.8million during the first half of 2015 (FY14: nil). The provision for income taxes primarily relates to U.S. federal and state income taxes on the $10.0 million of revenue recognised by Vedanta Biosciences, net of available net operating losses.
Other comprehensive loss results from foreign currency translation differences in an Italian subsidiary of Gelesis, whose functional currency is the Euro. The Group incurred other comprehensive loss of $0.3 million during the first half of 2015 (FY14: de minimis). 
As a result of the factors discussed above, total comprehensive loss for the first half of 2015 decreased by $15.3million to $17.5million (HY14: $32.8 million).
Loss and other comprehensive loss for the half year are attributable to the Company and to the noncontrolling interest shareholders according to their proportionate share of interest in the Group's operating companies. Changes in the noncontrolling interest reflect the allocation of the company loss for the period to noncontrolling interest shareholders, as well as adjustments for changes in ownership during the respective period. Loss and other comprehensive loss for the first half of 2015 attributable to the Company were $9.6 million (HY14: $16.4 million) and $7.9 million (HY14: $16.4 million) to non-controlling interest shareholders.
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position
Total assets increased significantly by $232.5 million during the first half of 2015 to $303.5 million (FY14: $71.0 million) primarily as a result of PureTech's June 2015 IPO which resulted in net proceeds of $159.0 million, a pre-IPO private equity financing resulting in net proceeds of $52.2 million and $24.5 million of subsidiary equity financings. As a result of these financings, cash, cash equivalents and short term investments increased by $228.5 million during the first half of 2015.
Non-current assets increased by $3.0 million during the first half of 2015, primarily as a result of $1.9 million of manufacturing equipment purchased by Gelesis and leasehold improvements related to PureTech Health plc's new offices located in Boston, Massachusetts, and the $1.1 million acquisition of intellectual property from Academica Life Science S.r.l. 
Current liabilities increased by $25.1 million during the first half of 2015 to $118.8 million (FY14: $93.7 million) resulting primarily from a $19.5 million net increase in subsidiary securities and related derivative liabilities. This increase results mainly from equity financings offset by conversions of convertible notes into equity of Tal and Gelesis during the first half of 2015 and IAS 39 fair value accounting adjustments. 
Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments
Mainly as a result of PureTech Health plc and subsidiary equity offerings totalling net proceeds of $235.8 million (comprising PureTech's $211.5 million equity financings during the 2015 half year and $24.3 million of subsidiary equity financings), cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased to $291.1 million at 30 June 2015 compared to $62.6 million at 31 December 2014. Subsequent to 30 June 2015, the Group received additional IPO proceeds of $24.1 million upon the exercise in full of the IPO underwriter's over-allotment option.

The Group's net cash used in operating activities was $2.1 million for first half of 2015 (HY14: $3.3 million). This net outflow was due to net operating losses of $17.2 million during the first half of 2015 (HY14: $32.8 million) offset from the movements in non-cash items of $8.2 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $6.9 million.
The Group had a net cash outflow from investing activities of $73.0million during the first half of 2015 (HY14: $0.05 million net inflow) resulting from $69.6 million of net purchases of short term investments and $3.4 million for leasehold improvements, purchases of equipment and intangible assets during the first half of 2015.
The net cash inflow from financing activities during the first half of 2015 was $235.8 million from equity financings discussed above offset by $1.4 million of deferred subsidiary IPO costs, net subsidiary debt repayments and subsidiary dividends. 
As a result of the movements above, cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2015 increased by $159.3 million (HY14: $2.9 million) to $221.3 million (HY14: $10.1 million). In addition, at 30 June 2015, short term investments amounted to $69.8 million (HY14: $0.7 million), which are invested in U.S. Treasury instruments.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties surrounding the Group's business are set out in detail in Part II - Risk Factors of the Prospectus. 
Those risks can be summarised as follows:
 Clinical Trials Risk: Clinical studies are typically expensive, complex and time consuming and generally have a high rate of failure. All of the growth stage operating companies are subject to such clinical trial risks, including those with near term clinical trial data read outs (e.g. Akili and Tal) from trials designed to validate their product candidates' safety and efficacy.
 Growth Risk: The Group currently has 12 operating companies and constantly seeks new opportunities to identify and develop promising technologies. There is no guarantee that the Group can maintain its historical operating company growth rate, select promising technologies for its themed initiatives which are capable of achieving accelerated development, or continue to manage future growth through new themes.
 Key Personnel: The industries in which the Group operates are specialised and the Group therefore requires highly qualified management, clinical and scientific personnel. The Group currently has a highly qualified and experienced team, and may not be successful if it cannot retain its current personnel and attract new qualified and experienced personnel.
 Competition: The Group has competitors in the UK, the U.S. and internationally, both in relation to identifying and developing early stage technologies as well as in the discovery and development of product candidates. The Company's competitors include universities and other research institutions as well as established pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies. The degree of competition in the market sectors where the Group is seeking to develop its products could materially adversely affect the Group's operating companies, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
 Concentration of Value: A large proportion of the overall value of the Group may at any time reside in a small proportion of the Group's various businesses. Accordingly, there is a risk that if one or more of the clinical trials or intellectual property rights relevant to a valuable business were impaired this would have a material adverse impact on the overall value of the Group.
 Intellectual Property: The Group's operating companies are highly dependent upon intellectual property. The failure of any of Group' operating companies to obtain patent protection for its intellectual property would have a material adverse impact on the value of such operating company.
 Product Liability: If serious adverse side effects are identified for any of the Group's operating companies' product candidates, the Group may need to abandon or limit its development of that product candidate, which may delay or prevent marketing approval, or, if approval is already received for the product candidate, require them to be taken off the market, require them to include safety warnings or otherwise limit or prevent their sales.
 Regulation: The Group cannot commercialise a product candidate whose sale requires regulatory approval until the appropriate regulatory authorities have reviewed and approved it and its marketing. Even if the product candidate meets endpoints in the clinical studies by, inter alia, demonstrating safety and efficacy, such regulatory agencies may not complete their review processes in a timely manner, or the Group may not be able to obtain regulatory approval.
 Sector Exposure: Intellectual property commercialisation is a relatively new business sector and consequently there is a relatively small number of companies with comparable business models, and even fewer that are specialised in healthcare. Accordingly, any event which detrimentally affects the companies in this comparator group may adversely affect the value of the Group and the value of the Ordinary Shares. 
 Lock-up Expiration: A substantial number of the Ordinary Shares remain subject to lock-up restrictions prohibiting their sale. However, sales of substantial numbers of Ordinary Shares following any relaxation of the lockup restrictions or time expiration of the lockup periods or sales by shareholders could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Ordinary Shares.

Independent review report to PureTech Health plc
Introduction 
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2015 which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive loss, condensed consolidated statement of financial position, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (together, the "consolidated interim financial statements")and the related explanatory notes. We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly 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 the terms of our engagement to assist the company in meeting the requirements of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules ("the DTR") of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority ("the UK FCA"). Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state to it in this 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 reached. 
Directors' responsibilities 
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the DTR of the UK FCA. 
As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU.
Our responsibility 
Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly 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 UK. 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 Ireland) 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. 
The company has not previously produced a half-yearly report containing a condensed set of consolidated interim financial statements. As a consequence, the review procedures set out above have not been performed in respect of the comparative period for the six months ended 30 June 2014.
The company has not previously produced an annual report containing a set of consolidated financial statements. As such, the information presented as at 31 December 2014 has not been extracted from a set of financial statements that have previously been subject to an audit by an independent auditor.
Conclusion 
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2015 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the EU and the DTR of the UK FCA.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements 
1. General information
a.) Reporting entity
PureTech is comprised of PureTech Health plc and its subsidiaries (together, "the Group" or the "Company"). The Company is publicly listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. PureTech Health plc is a scientifically driven research and development company that conceptualises, sources, validates and commercialises unexpected and potentially disruptive approaches to advance the needs of human health. The Company has a themedriven approach to creating and developing its initiatives, proposing innovative solutions rooted in academic research and developing them together with a creative group of cross disciplinary experts. The Company structures its themed initiatives as independent operating companies, to enable those initiatives to reach their full potential and attract and incentivise skilled personnel, investors and partners. The Group provides a combination of experienced management and administrative support to its operating companies in which it typically holds a significant ownership interest. Cash contributed by PureTech Health plc to its subsidiaries is used to fund research and to create a management structure and operations.
The Group seeks third party validation of its operating companies and concept-phase initiatives through strategic collaboration, industry partnerships and grants. Use of partnerships, grants and external debt and equity investments in its operating companies enables the Group to distribute development and financial risk, while preserving its significant equity ownership and control of operating companies.
The Company was formed on 8 May 2015. On 18 June 2015, PureTech Health plc completed a reorganisation of the corporate structure of the group of companies controlled by its predecessor PureTech Health, LLC ("PureTech LLC") pursuant to which PureTech Health plc became the holding company of the Group. Preceding this reorganisation, on 18June 2015 each outstanding PureTech LLC preferred share was converted into one Series1 Common Share of PureTechLLC. Thereafter, pursuant to an agreement entered into between the Company, PureTechLLC and each of the members of PureTech LLC who had signed a joint signature page, issued and outstanding PureTech LLC Common Shares were exchanged as follows: (i)each Series1 Common Share was exchanged for ten Ordinary Shares; (ii)each Series2 Common Share was exchanged for Ordinary Shares in the Company on the basis of an exchange ratio calculated by reference to ten Ordinary Shares for each Series 2 Common Share, adjusted for the currency exchange rate of 1:$1.5648 and to take account of the Series 2 Common Share floor price of $4.31 per share associated with each Series2 Common Share so exchanged, with each such number of Ordinary Shares to be issued by the Company being rounded down to the nearest whole number; and (iii)each Series3 Common Share was exchanged for Ordinary Shares in the Company on the basis of an exchange ratio calculated by reference to ten Ordinary Shares for each Series 3 Common Share, adjusted for the currency exchange rate of 1:$1.5648 and to take account of the Series3 Common Share floor price of $11.45 per share associated with each Series3 Common Share so exchanged, with each such number of Ordinary Shares to be issued by the Company being rounded down to the nearest whole number.
On 24 June 2015 the Company's entire issued ordinary share capital of 227,248,008ordinary shares of one pence each was admitted to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange for listed securities. 
b.) Basis of preparation
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial information included in the Prospectus as at and for the year ended 31 December 2014. 
The merger of PureTech Health plc and PureTech LLC was performed so that existing shareholders of PureTech LLC obtained ownership in PureTech Health plc in order to facilitate listing on the premium listing segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and admission to the main market of the London Stock Exchange. Ownership before and after the merger remained the same. As a result, this has been accounted for under the principles of reverse acquisition accounting. Share capital movements are shown as occurred prior to the merger but in denominations consistent with post-merger share capital. In addition the merger reserve records amounts previously recorded as share premium net of differences arising between share capital on the restructured basis and the former basis. 
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. The financial information of the subsidiaries is prepared for the same reporting period as the parent Company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group balances, transactions, unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated in full. 
Non-controlling interests (''NCI'') are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. If there is an obligation to deliver cash or other assets, the investment is classified as subsidiary preferred stock. Changes in the Group's interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. 
This financial information presented in these half-yearly results has been prepared under the historical cost convention. The reporting currency adopted by the Company is U.S. dollar ('$') as this is the functional currency of the majority of the entities in the group. In preparing these interim financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 
The Company has prepared trading and cash flow forecasts for the Group covering the period to 31 December 2016. After making enquiries and considering the impact of risks and opportunities on expected cash flows, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate cash to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the half-yearly results. 
The financial information contained in this half-yearly report does not constitute full statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The condensed consolidated financial statements are not audited and the results for the six months ended 30 June 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results for future operating periods.
Although PureTech Health plc has not yet had to prepare statutory accounts (its first accounting reference date will be 31 December 2015), it has prepared consolidated financial information for the year ended 31 December 2014 for the purposes of preparing its Prospectus. This information has been extracted and included for comparative purposes in this Half-Yearly report. 
These interim financial statements are unaudited and were approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue on 21 August 2015.
c.) Use of judgments and estimates
In preparing this consolidated financial information, management has made judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Group's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.
Significant estimates are made by the Group when determining the appropriate methodology for valuing the subsidiary businesses for disclosure purposes and then in deriving the estimated fair value including making certain estimates of the future earnings potential of the businesses and determining the appropriate discount rate. Significant judgment is applied in determining the valuation of sharebased payments, derivative instruments and warrants and in determining the value and point of capitalisation of intangible assets. Significant judgment is also applied in determining where control over subsidiaries exists. Information about these critical judgments and estimates is included in the following notes.
d.) Accounting policies
The accounting policies applied by the Group in these half-yearly results are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial information for the year ended 31 December 2014 included in the Prospectus and which will form the basis of the 2015 Annual Report and Accounts. No new standards that have become effective in the period have had a material effect on the Group's financial statements. 
2. Segment information
2.1 Basis for segmentation
The Directors are the Group's strategic decisionmakers. The Group's operating segments are reported based on the financial information provided to the Directors at least quarterly for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. The Directors monitor the results of two operating segments. Each operating segment is considered a distinct unit by the Directors. The Group's operating segments, which are also reportable segments, are outlined below. Substantially all of the revenue and profit generating activities of the Group are generated within the U.S. and accordingly, no geographical disclosures are provided.
2.1.1 Growth stage operating companies  subsidiaries in this segment are those whose activities focus on actively developing products to solve major healthcare problems in varied markets. 
2.1.2 Project phase and sourcing companies - subsidiaries in this segment are those whose activities are focused on financing, sourcing and creating new operating companies and newly created operating companies whose technologies are in the process of validation.

2.3 Growth stage operating company valuation
At the close of each annual financial period, the Directors estimate, and formally approve, the value of all growth stage operating companies in the Group, which is used to derive the Aggregate Value of Growth Stage Operating Company Holdings ("Aggregate Holdings"). The Aggregate Holdings is a sumoftheparts valuation of all the growth stage companies in the Group.
The Aggregate Holdings was $222.4million as at 31December 2014 and takes into account the value implied by the following: (i) the closing by Vedanta Biosciences of a licensing agreement with Janssen Biotech for a non-refundable upfront payment and milestone payments of up to $339 million plus tiered royalties to develop and commercialise its microbiome product candidate VE202 in early January 2015, (ii) the closing of a $14.5 million financing of which PureTech invested $5 million, by Tal Medical in March 2015 and (iii) the closing of a$22.3 million financing, of which PureTech invested $3 million, by Gelesis in March 2015. The Directors believe there has been no significant change in the Aggregate Holdings value since 31 December 2014 through 30 June 2015 outside of those items described in the immediately preceding sentence. Further details about the Aggregate Holdings and the Group valuation methodology are disclosed in the consolidated financial information included in the Prospectus. 
Notwithstanding the fact that the valuation methodologies applied are based on the AICPA Guidelines and while the Board considers the methodologies and assumptions adopted in each valuation are supportable, reasonable and robust, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investment existed and the differences could be significant. The AICPA Guidelines do not represent, but are consistent with, valuation principles adopted under, IFRS. The operating company valuations are not presented as alternative measures to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Group's consolidated financial information.
In addition to the Aggregate Holdings Value, the Directors believe that PureTech's established partner network and significant pipeline of future opportunities to form and develop new subsidiary companies will enable it to create and realise further value for shareholders. The Directors believe that PureTech has created significant brand value and name recognition providing access to new deal opportunities and potential partners for its subsidiaries, together with a suite of operational standards, processes and know how that enable the Group to apply its business model and create shareholder value in a capital efficient manner. 
3. Earnings per share
The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share has been calculated by dividing the loss for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders of $9.3 million (HY14: $16.4m), by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding of 146,105,740 (HY14: 63,658,930) during the six-month period ended 30 June 2015:

Gelesis fair value measurements
The fair value of the stock options awarded under the Gelesis 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Gelesis Plan") was estimated at the grant date using the BlackScholes option valuation model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which options are granted, with the following weightedaverage assumptions:

No stock options were granted during the six months ended 30 June 2014.
Gelesis used an average historical share price volatility based on an analysis of reported data for a peer group of comparable companies which were selected based upon industry similarities. As there is not sufficient historical share exercise data to calculate the expected term of the options, Gelesis elected to use the "simplified" method for all options granted at the money-to-value share option grants. Under this approach, the weighted average expected life is presumed to be the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the option.
The Company recorded stock compensation expense related to the Gelesis Plan of $1.6 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014.

During the six months ended 30 June 2015, Gelesis recognised a loss on extinguishment of $1.8 million upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes into preferred shares in conjunction with its March 2015 private financing, as further described in note 11. Refer to note 13 for further details of warrant and derivative mark to market charge. 
6. Tax expense
Tax expense is recognised based on management's best estimate of the weighted-average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year multiplied by the pre-tax income of the interim reporting period. 
The Group's consolidated effective tax rate in respect of continuing operations for the six months ended 30 June 2015 was 10% (six months ended 30 June 2014: 1%). The change in effective tax rate was caused mainly by the following factors: 
 Vedanta Biosciences generated taxable income for the six months ended 30 June 2015 resulting in a year to date current tax expense of $1.7 million.
7. Intangible assets
Academica Life Sciences 
In February 2015, Gelesis S.r.l, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gelesis, completed the acquisition of Academica Life Sciences S.r.l (Academica) for $1.1 million. Gelesis concluded that the purchase of Academica represents the purchase of intellectual property which meets the definition of an intangible asset. Gelesis has recorded the initial cost of the acquisition of $1.1 million as an intangible asset which will be amortised over the remaining useful life of the intellectual property on a straight line basis. 
8. Property and equipment 
During the six months ended 30 June 2015, the Company entered into an office lease agreement for office space in Boston, Massachusetts. The Company capitalised leasehold improvements in the amount of $1.1 million associated with the build out of the office space which represents the majority of the $1.9 million increase in property and equipment from 30 June 2014 to 30 June 2015. 
9. Equity
In January 2015, the Company completed a private financing round with Invesco Asset Management Limited as the lead investor and issued 24,006,500 ordinary shares resulting in cash proceeds of $52.2 million.
On 24 June 2015 the Company's entire issued ordinary share capital of 227,248,008 ordinary shares of one pence each were admitted to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange for listed securities. The IPO was for 67,599,621 new ordinary shares issued by the Company at 160 pence per ordinary share. This resulted in approximately $159 million of net proceeds from the IPO (net of issue cost of approximately $11.8 million) reflected in the share premium balance as of 30 June 2015. 
The Group may, at its absolute discretion, pay an incentive fee to the IPO underwriter equal to 1.25% of the IPO proceeds, 1,554,791 ($2,444,925), 90 days after admission to the London Stock Exchange. The Group has not yet made a determination on the payment of this incentive fee.
The IPO also included an over-allotment option equivalent to 15% of the total number of new ordinary shares, or 10,139,943. The stabilisation manager gave notice to exercise in full its over-allotment option after the reporting period on 2 July 2015. As a result, the Company issued 10,139,943 Shares at the offer price of 160 pence per share achieving further net proceeds for the Company of 15.7 million, or approximately USD $24.1 million. The total number of issued ordinary shares and voting rights in the Company after issuing the over-allotment shares is 237,387,951.
Movements below explain the movements in share capital taking into account the reorganisation. Each movement in share capital reflects the number of shares and nominal value of the shares as if the reorganisation had been in place at that date and the shares were those of PureTech Health plc.

At 30 June 2015 outstanding ordinary shares were 210,953,105 and exclude 16,294,863 unvested ordinary sharesissued pursuant to PureTech LLC Incentive Compensation arrangements detailed in note 4.
10. Notes payable
In conjunction with its March 2015 private financing, Gelesis converted $3.9 million of convertible notes plus accrued interest into preferred shares. During the same month, Tal, also in conjunction with its private financing, converted $0.5 million of convertible notes plus accrued interest into preferred shares. These conversions resulted in the recognition of $0.9 million of related derivatives. Vedanta Biosciences repaid $0.3 million of convertible notes payable 31 May 2015. The decrease in the notes payable balance from 31 December 2014 to 30 June 2015 is primarily driven by these transactions. 
11. Subsidiary preferred shares
Certain of the Group's subsidiaries have outstanding preferred shares which have been classified as a liability as the subsidiaries have a contractual obligation to deliver cash or other assets to the holders under certain future events. The preferred shares do not contain mandatory dividend rights and are not mandatorily redeemable. The preferred shares are convertible into common stock of the subsidiary at the option of the holder and mandatorily convertible into common stock of the subsidiary upon a subsidiary qualified financing or upon the vote of the holders of a majority of the subsidiary preferred shares. The conversion feature has been accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value with the residual proceeds allocated to the subsidiary preferred share at issuance. The preferred shares are entitled to a vote with holders of common stock on an as-converted basis. The holders of the preferred shares are entitled to a liquidation preference amount in the event of a liquidation or a deemed liquidation event of the respective subsidiary.
The following summarises the subsidiary preferred share balance:

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of a subsidiary, the holders of subsidiary preferred shares then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the subsidiary available for distribution to stockholders and before any payment shall be made to holders of common stock. A merger, acquisition, sale of voting control or other transaction of a subsidiary in which the shareholders of the subsidiary do not own a majority of the outstanding shares of the surviving company shall be deemed to be a liquidation event. Additionally, a sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the subsidiary shall also be deemed a liquidation event.
The minimum liquidation preference that would be payable to the subsidiary preferred holders upon a liquidation event of the subsidiaries, is as follows:

13. Financial instruments
All of the Group's financial assets and liabilities, with the exception of the derivative and warrant liabilities, are measured at amortised cost. The derivative and warrant liabilities are carried at fair value with changes recognised in through finance costs, net in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive loss.

The change in the fair value of derivatives and warrants is recorded in finance costs, net in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive loss.
At each measurement date, the fair value of the conversion rights embedded in the preferred shares was determined using with and without framework which consisted of a three-step process. First, the value of each company within the Group was determined using a discounted cash flow model, guideline transaction method, or through a recent arm's length financing round. Second, the value of the subject preferred shares was determined using either an option pricing allocation model or a probability weighted expected return model, where the conversion rights of the preferred shareholders were included and then excluded. Third, the fair value of conversion rights was calculated as the difference of value between the concluded values of preferred shares with and without the conversion rights.
