Notes for Editors

About ValiRx

ValiRx accelerates the development of treatments in oncology and women's
health to improve patient lives. We provide the scientific, financial and
commercial framework towards enabling rapid translation of innovative science
into clinical development.

With our extensive and proven experience in research and drug development, we
select and incubate promising novel drug candidates and guide them through an
optimised process of development, from pre-clinical studies to clinic and
investor-ready assets.

Integrating science and business

We connect diverse disciplines across scientific, technical and commercial
domains, with the aim of achieving a more streamlined, less costly, drug
development process.  We work closely with our selected collaborators and
leverage the combined expertise required for science to advance.

Lead candidates from our portfolio are out-licensed or partnered with
investors through ValiRx subsidiary companies for further clinical development
and commercialisation. www.valirx.com/ (http://www.valirx.com/)

The Company listed on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange in October
2006 and trades under the ticker symbol: VAL.

 

Chairman's Report for the year ended 31 December 2021

2021 was a year of continued strategy evolution and the transition of ValiRx
away from clinical development towards a pre-clinical development company with
a dual purpose to progress pre-clinical collaborative projects and develop our
revenue generating tCRO (translational Contract Research Organisation). We see
this as a continuation of our theme of 'connected innovation' with the tCRO
supporting the collaborative projects both financially and scientifically.

The company has made significant progress across three fronts through 2021:

·              out-licencing of clinical assets (Letter of
Intent (LoI) to sub-license VAL201, active marketing of VAL401)

·              building a pre-clinical pipeline of novel
technologies in cancer and Women's Health (three projects under evaluation)

·              creating a revenue generating and profitable tCRO

 

We were very pleased to sign the LoI for sub-licencing of VAL201 to TheoremRx
Inc, a company we believe will bring the right level of expertise to progress
the compound through later stage clinical trials. We also see TheoremRx as a
prospective partner for assets in our pre-clinical pipeline. We continue to
support TheoremRx in their scientific activities and look forward to a
successful fund raise in the near future.

The interest in our novel approach to the translation of academic science has
been particularly encouraging, and we are now engaging with a wide range of
international institutions to identify new projects. The experience we have
gained through working with academia further exemplified the need to bring
industrial thinking to the challenges of technology translation, and
illustrated the importance of collecting pre-clinical data that improves
understanding of the underlying biology of new treatments. We believe the
adoption of VAL301 into our pre-clinical pipeline will serve as an exemplar of
our approach to pre-clinical development and provide a template for future
studies.

A combination of factors, including the need for high-quality data generation,
data analysis and interpretation, together with our experience of
out-sourcing, led to the realisation that a new approach to pre-clinical
development would benefit our internal collaborative pipeline and provide an
opportunity to generate revenue by offering similar advanced services to the
wider biopharmaceutical community. The outcome of this is our strategy to
create a new type of CRO, focused on accelerating the process of translation,
a tCRO.

The transition of our strategy has been actively supported by Cenkos and our
other advisors. We are pleased to have been able to benefit from their
expertise and extensive relationships with institutional investors, which has
led to a broadening of our investor base and ongoing support in building value
in ValiRx for the benefit of all shareholders.

Chief Executive's Report for the year ended 31 December 2021

2021 was a busy year. For ValiRx, 2021 was a year to consolidate the stability
gained over the previous twelve months, to draw to a close the outstanding
clinical activities on the legacy assets, and to further evolve and commence
implementation of our new strategic direction.

During 2021 we completed the evaluation of our first new pre-clinical project,
KTH222 from Kalos therapeutics, but on reviewing the data and commercial
prospects decided that was not sufficiently aligned with our ambitions. We
terminated the agreement and have no further input or interest in this
programme as announced on 27 May 2021. Our search for new preclinical projects
continued.

Seeking projects in both oncology and diseases associated with Women's Health
has led us to the realisation that while there is a wealth of early-stage
oncology research coming out of universities, there is comparatively less in
Women's Health.

Our conversations with universities have encompassed institutions from across
the world and we were delighted to have confirmed evaluation agreements
entered with both a London University, with a candidate for triple negative
Breast Cancer, announced on 16 September 2021, and Hokkaido University in
Japan for a programme for endometrial, pancreatic and bile duct cancers
announced on 16 December 2021. Post-period we have also confirmed our
signature of an evaluation agreement with Barcelona University in Spain for a
KRAS project against uterine and pancreatic cancers announced 10 February
2022.

The global reach of our scientific reviews ensures that we are able to see a
wealth of project opportunities and to seek those that really match our
criteria and expertise.

These projects will be progressed throughout 2022 and if the evaluations are
successful, the projects will enter full license agreements with dedicated
subsidiary companies of ValiRx.

During 2021 substantial progress was also made towards partnering and moving
on from our clinical stage projects. In January 2021, we submitted the
Clinical Study Report from the clinical trial of VAL201 and moved to a stage
of further analysis of the data and commercial development. Further analysis
has been completed from a commercial viewpoint of considering the data with
independent Key Opinion Leaders and an expert team on valuation benchmarking.
Further scientific analysis has been carried out in collaboration with
Physiomics, as announced on 15 February 2021, who have been considering the
clinical data in conjunction with the historic preclinical data and the newly
generated pre-clinical data generated across the VAL301 and BC201 projects.

Commercial development also advanced for VAL201 throughout the year,
culminating in the signature of the Letter of Intent with TheoremRx Inc to
sub-license the oncology use of the VAL201 peptide, announced on 2 November
2021. This detailed that ValiRx would receive near term payments and
milestones of $2M USD with a total of $61M USD after successful launch to the
market for the treatment of prostate cancer. $37M USD is available in
milestones for each additional oncology indication developed. A further
announcement on the VAL201 sub-license was made on 20 December 2021 confirming
that the license from Cancer Research technology to ValiRx for VAL201 had been
updated to align with the TheoremRx expectations.

Corporate progress has continued, with Cenkos Securities announced as our new
corporate broker on 25 August 2021, and substantial work has been carried out
between Cenkos and ValiRx in the intervening period to ensure that the
evolving strategy is ready for launch and providing support across all
corporate functions.

 

Outlook

2021 enabled us to continue building foundations of durability within ValiRx.
Completing the VAL201 clinical trial, entering the Letter of Intent with
TheoremRx to sub-license VAL201. The foundations of our renewed strategy were
also strengthened with two evaluation agreements being entered for new
pre-clinical projects and a further evaluation entered post period.

During 2022 we intend to build on these positions of strength by further
developing our pipeline of new pre-clinical projects by bringing further
assets into Evaluation, but also, as the first projects complete initial
evaluation we anticipate at least one of these programmes moving to a full
license and entering an appropriate subsidiary company during the year.

Our research strategy mitigates risks by ensuring that multiple programmes are
assessed in a rolling programme of in-licensing, with new projects arriving
across a range of oncology and disease associated with Women's Health and
varying modalities of small molecules and synthetic peptide drug candidates,
creating a risk balanced portfolio. Our strategy to run extensive scientific
and commercial evaluations under resource-limited agreements provides further
confidence before full in-licensing is contemplated.

Within 2022, ValiRx also intends to initiate the strategy to build our
Translational Contract Research Organisation (tCRO), offering the Connected
Innovation concept as a service to the wider industry. By acquiring our own
laboratory facility and using that as the baseline for integrating further
technologies and services, we will be able to present ourselves as a revenue
generating, expert facility for high quality, high impact science.

We anticipate that the build phase of the tCRO will commence in 2022, and will
require additional personnel to be recruited into ValiRx to ensure the breadth
of acquisition and integration skills are available to the Company. Further
project management expertise may also be required to support the subsidiary
companies developing the in-house pipeline should the evaluation projects
prove successful.

Financial overview

Our financial results show the total comprehensive loss for the year ended 31
December 2021 of £1,518,212 (2020: £1,443,248) and a loss per share of 2.34p
(2020: Loss - 3.81p).

Research and developments costs were £303,789 for the year ended 31 December
2021 as compared to £230,115 in 2020, an increase of £73,674. In addition,
total wage costs of £216,237 (2020: £118,754) were expended on research and
development during the year.

Administrative expenses were £1,216,391 (2020: £1,276,619 before loss on
disposal of intangible assets of £154,968) for the year ended 31 December
2021 a decrease of £60,228.

I would like to thank the staff and Board members for all their contributions
and shareholders for their continued support. We look forward to implementing
our evolving strategy while continuing to maintain our culture of openness and
transparency to all stakeholders.

Going concern

As part of their going concern review the Directors have followed the
guidelines published by the Financial Reporting Council entitled "Guidance on
the Going Concern Basis of Accounting and Reporting on Solvency Risks -

The Group and Parent Company are subject to a number of risks similar to those

the attainment of profitable operations is dependent on future uncertain
events which include obtaining adequate financing to fulfil the Group's
commercial and development activities and generating a level of revenue
adequate to support the Group's cost structure.

 

The current economic environment is challenging, and the Group has reported an
operating loss for the year. These losses will continue in the current
accounting year to 31 December 2022.

 

The Directors have prepared detailed financial forecasts and cash flows
looking beyond 12 months from the date of the approval of these financial
statements. In developing these forecasts, the Directors have made assumptions
based upon their view of the current and future economic conditions that are
expected to prevail over the forecast period. The Directors have concluded
that the ability of the Company to raise funds in the future represents a
material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the group's ability
to continue as a going concern. The Board is confident that shareholder
approval will be obtained and therefore has reasonable expectation that the
Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period
being at least the next twelve months from the date of approval of the Annual
Report and Accounts. On this basis, the Directors continue to adopt the going
concern basis in preparing these accounts. Accordingly, these accounts do not
contain any adjustments to the carrying amount of classification of assets and
liabilities that would result if the Group were unable to continue as a going
concern.

 

Basis of consolidation

The Group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the
Company and all its subsidiaries ("the Group"). Subsidiaries include all
entities over which the Group has the power to govern financial and operating
policies. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are
currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the
Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on
which control commences until the date that control ceases. Intra-group
balances and any unrealised gains and losses on income or expenses arising
from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated
financial statements.

 

On 3 October 2006, ValiRx Bioinnovation Limited ('Bioinnovation') acquired
60.28% of the issued share capital of ValiPharma Limited ('ValiPharma') in
exchange for shares in Bioinnovation. Concurrently, the Company, ("ValiRx"),
acquired the entire issued share capital of Bioinnovation in a share for share
transaction. As a result of these transactions, the former shareholders of
ValiPharma became the majority shareholders in ValiRx. Accordingly, the
substance of the transaction was that ValiPharma acquired ValiRx in a reverse
acquisition. Under IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", the acquisition of
ValiPharma has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition.

 

In May 2008 the Company acquired the remaining 39.72% of the issued share
capital of ValiPharma, which is now wholly owned by the Group. This
acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.

 

In November 2013 ValiSeek Limited was formed to enable the company to enter
into a joint venture agreement. The company has a 55.5% holding in the issued
share capital of ValiSeek.

 

 

3.            LOSS PER SHARE

 

The loss and number of shares used in the calculation of loss per ordinary
share are set out below:

 

                                                    2021                         2020
                                                     £                            £

 Loss for the financial period                      (1,547,191)                  (1,468,323)
 Non-controlling interest                                    28,979                       25,075

 Loss attributable to owners of Parent Company      (1,518,212)                  (1,443,248)

 Basic:
 Weighted average number of shares                     65,004,957                   37,898,019
 Loss per share                                     (2.34p)                      (3.81p)

 

 

The loss and the weighted average number of shares used for calculating the
diluted loss per share are identical to those for the basic loss per share.
The outstanding share options and share warrants would have the effect of
reducing the loss per share and would therefore not be dilutive under IAS 33
'Earnings per Share'
