In the six months ended June 30, 2020, Solasia Pharma K.K. (the "Company") and its group company (collectively, the "Group") focused on enhancing the pharmaceutical business, as well as strengthening and commercializing the drug development pipeline, while weathering impact from the spread of the novel coronavirus disease.
The spread of the novel coronavirus disease greatly hindered access to medical sites and various activities performed by Group medical representatives (MRs) responsible for promoting sales of Sancuso® (SP-01) and episil® (SP-03), which were launched in China during the previous fiscal year. However, as of the submission date of this document, MRs are gradually regaining permission to visit hospitals and contact medical personnel in the Company's sales areas(exclude Beijing) in China.
Aside from products that have been successfully commercialized, two pipeline products reached the final stages of clinical development. In June, 2020, we achieved the primary endpoint (antitumor effect) in the Phase II clinical trial (pivotal study) of our pipeline product SP-02. As of the submission date of this document, we are preparing for the NDA Filing in different countries. Development of SP-04 has reached the Phase III clinical trial stage. As of the submission date of this document, 590 patients had been enrolled for the trial (out of a target of 700). However, we have decided to suspend both new patient enrollment and study drug administration in March and April 2020 and to bring this trial to its conclusion after making an early cut-off of case data collection (data cut-off) in the third quarter of 2020. Starting in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, we will conduct detailed and robust evaluations of the safety and effectiveness of SP-04 focusing on information acquired through the completion of trial. The decision was taken after a recommendation from the independent Drug Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) to stop the studies due to a number of severe allergic reactions, which have been observed after repeated dosing. Afterward, we will formulate further plans for SP-04.
As indicated above, we have focused on achieving progress in terms of both our products and pipeline products. On the financial front, however, we continue making up-front investments, as product sales have just entered the initial stages. Given these circumstances, our financial performance during the six months ended June 30, 2020, was as follows.
[Revenue,Gross profit]
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, revenue totaled 240 million yen, up 109 million yen from the first six months of the preceding fiscal year. Revenue mainly came from the sales of pipeline products of Sancuso® (SP-01) and episil® (SP-03). In addition, gross profit amounted to 175 million yen, up 64 million yen from the first six months of the preceding fiscal year. The increase was attributable to the aforementioned growth in revenue.

[R&D expenses, SG&A expenses Operating profit (loss), Profit (loss]
R&D expenses amounted to 719 million yen. This amount is mainly attributable to expenses incurred for a multinational phase II clinical study (pivotal study) of SP-02 and a multinational phase III clinical study (pivotal study) of SP-04 (initiated in December 2018). SG&A expenses amounted to 724 million yen, up 58 million yen year on year, as a result of building of an independent sales structure in China by strengthening organization of personnel and amortization of intangible assets.
The Company incurred an operating loss of 1,268 million yen, which is a increase of 258 million yen year on year.
The Company incurred an overall loss of 1,272million yen, mainly as a consequence of having posted the aforementioned operating loss.
[Capitalized costs included in intangible assets and amortization of intangible assets]
The Group posted a 3 million yen increase in intangible assets attributable to development costs and in- licensing expenses recognized as assets among pipeline investment outlays. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, pipeline investment amounted to 723 million yen. This figure includes the 3 million yen in intangible assets derived from capitalization of such outlays and 719 million yen in R&D expenses. However, amortization of intangible assets related to the pipeline product Sancuso® (SP-01) and episil® (SP-03), leading to amortization of 219 million yen during the six months under review. As a result, the balance of intangible assets was 3,269 million yen as of June 30, 2020.

[Cash flows from operating activities]

[Cash flows from financing activities]
Net cash used in financing activities amounted to 22 million yen (up from 10 million yen used in these activities in the same period of the previous year). This figure was mainly attributable to 23 million yen in outflows related to repayments of lease liabilities.

Explanation of consolidated earnings forecasts and other forward-looking statements
The consolidated earnings forecasts for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 (announced on February 13, 2020) reflect the impact of the novel coronavirus disease to some extent, and the Company has made no change to its forecasts as of the date this document was published. However, if the spread of the virus continues longer than anticipated, we cannot deny the possibility that it could have a stronger impact on product sales, development (primarily clinical development), and other elements of our business than initially estimated. We will promptly disclose any potential impact on our earnings forecasts as soon as the Company becomes clear.
