In the 4th quarter of 2012, the Company's revenues came to ?46,409, which corresponds to the pro rata share, over such quarter, of the ?810,640 upfront payment received within the framework of a license contract with PharmaEngine for the Asia-Pacific region. The revenue is comparable to the one recorded over the 3rd quarter 2012, totaling ?74,153 over the year. This amount is in line with the Company's strategic plan; its business model being based on the commercialization of NBTXR3, which implies to first focus on the product's development and clinical approval by the relevant authorities.

Public funding for research expenditures, which comprises research tax credit, is not included in the revenues but is part of the Company's operating revenues, released with half and full year results.

As a reminder, since the Company's IPO on the regulated market of NYSE Euronext in Paris, several major events have marked the end of the year:

  • November 2012: released of positive results for the first group of patients regarding the safety of NBTXR3, currently being tested in a phase I study at the Institut Gustave Roussy, France, on patients with advanced Soft Tissue Sarcoma. The treatment for this indication is sensitive due to the difficult access to the tumor, which specificity has been intentionally selected by NANOBIOTIX in order to demonstrate the innocuity of the product through a difficult case. This initial step is "derisking" NANOBIOTIX approach and gives the Company confidence to expand its clinical development to different indications.
  • December 2012: Laurent Levy elected Vice-Chairman of the European Technology Platform on Nanomedecine (ETPN), representing European SMEs in the Executive Board. This nomination confirms NANOBIOTIX' objective to stand as a reference player on its market, while promoting its experience to the industry players in order to help structuring and developing the nanomedicine field in Europe.
