assets, Lupuzor(TM) and P140 for CIDP closer to the market.
Specifically, on Lupuzor(TM), our partner Avion, is committed to
moving this program into Phase 3 as soon as possible, following
final discussions with the FDA and based on the positive readout of
the recent PK study. We are also focused on ensuring earlier stage
assets, specifically within anti-infectives, progress, with a key
strategy on securing partnering opportunities over the medium
term.
We were delighted to secure the successful fundraising in late
2021, as it demonstrated that our corporate repositioning efforts,
since the Board changes, were recognised by our existing
shareholders and partner, Avion (Alora Pharmaceuticals).
"In closing, we look forward to sharing value enhancing newsflow
over the next period, including progress within Lupuzor and our
P140 platform. We would also like to thank our shareholders for
their continuing support, particularly through the significant

ImmuPharma plc
Chairman's Report
2021 was a year of successful evolution and transition for
ImmuPharma. Key board and management restructuring was at the heart
of these changes. This was combined with a complete re-evaluation
of our pipeline, focusing on the key assets, which we believe, can
deliver long term shareholder value.
As echoed in recent statements, whilst being one of the most
challenging periods we have been involved with at ImmuPharma, it
has been one of the most exciting periods in the Company's history.
This would not have been possible without the enormous amount of
teamwork involved, from both the ImmuPharma team, its partners and
collaborators.
At the epicentre of ImmuPharma throughout 2021, was the
continued progress of our late-stage program, Lupuzor(TM), in
conjunction with our US partner, Avion Pharmaceuticals ("Avion"),
as we moved closer to commencing the pivotal Phase 3 study in 2022.
During the second half of 2021, ImmuPharma started preparations for
the commencement of the pharmacokinetic ("PK") study, as requested
by the US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). The PK study has
been successfully completed in April 2022.
In December 2021 we successfully raised GBP3.55m (gross), which
was supported by our US partner, Avion and longstanding
shareholder, Lanstead Capital. Outside of the US, ImmuPharma
continued to explore opportunities with other potential commercial
partners for Lupuzor(TM) and also within the Company's extended
pipeline.
Lupuzor(TM) - opportunity and next steps
There are an estimated five million people globally suffering
from lupus, with approximately 1.5 million patients in the US,
Europe and Japan (Source: Lupus Foundation of America). Current
'standard of care' treatments, including steroids and
immunosuppressants, can potentially have either serious side
effects for patients or limited efficacy, with over 60 per cent of
patients not adequately treated.
ImmuPharma believes Lupuzor(TM) has the potential to be a novel
specific drug therapy for the treatment of Lupus by specifically
modulating the immune system and halting disease progression in a
substantial proportion of patients.
Lupuzor(TM) has a unique mechanism of action that does not
suppress the immune system and which normalises the over-activity
of CD4 T-cells which are involved in the cell-mediated immune
response which leads to the lupus disease. Lupuzor(TM), taken over
the long term, as indicated in earlier stage clinical trials, has
the potential to prevent the progression of lupus rather than just
treating its symptoms, with the rest of the immune system retaining
the ability to work normally.
The Board is confident that there are a number of routes to
market for Lupuzor(TM), including corporate collaborations. Such a
collaboration was successfully completed at the end of November
2019, resulting in a signed exclusive Trademark, License and
Development Agreement with Avion in the US. Positive discussions
with a number of potential commercial partners for Lupuzor(TM) in
key territories outside of the US are continuing.
Lupuzor(TM) and Avion Pharmaceuticals | Background
On 28 November 2019, ImmuPharma and Avion signed an exclusive
Trademark, License and Development Agreement for Lupuzor(TM), with
Avion agreeing to fund a new international Phase 3 trial and
commercialising Lupuzor(TM) in the US. Since then, both companies
have been working closely on the clinical trial design and
strategy, bolstered by consultation with an eminent group of key
opinion leaders. This tripartite Phase 3 protocol development
approach provided thorough and detailed support for developing the
most relevant clinical trial for Lupuzor(TM) in systemic lupus
erythematosus ("SLE") patients. Data and results from the first
Phase 3 clinical study were analysed and considered in detail and,
as a result, a new optimised international Phase 3 study protocol
was approved on the 22 July 2021 by the FDA, subject to prior
successful completion of the PK study.
In the first half of 2021 ImmuPharma provided progress updates
to the market in respect to guidance meetings between the FDA and
Avion.
As part of this feedback and as announced on 9 February 2021,
the FDA requested that Avion and ImmuPharma develop and validate a
bioanalytical assay in order to confirm the unique pharmacokinetic
("PK") profile of Lupuzor(TM)/ P140. Principally to demonstrate
that P140 shows a positive result within plasma at the subcutaneous
level.
On 24 June 2021 it was announced that following submission by
Avion of the PK methodology study, the FDA would, by written
response, approve the PK study around the end of July 2021.
On 12 August 2021 ImmuPharma announced that the FDA had approved
the commencement of the PK study.
The PK study is a Phase 1 study to assess the presence of
Lupuzor(TM) in the body after administration of a single dose. The
study was carried out in a total of 24 healthy male volunteers.
Since the approval of the commencement of the PK study by the
FDA, we worked with Avion and our specialist Contract Research
Organisation ("CRO"), Simbec Orion in respect to this study. In
preparing the study drug material, we have taken the opportunity to
greatly improve the product characterisation and analytical method
validations. This has resulted in a new proprietary synthesis of
P140 which gives greater IP protection and lowers the cost of
production.
P140 PK study has been successfully completed as announced on 13
April 2022, with all key endpoints requested by FDA being met. The
key highlights from the study were summarised as below.
Subcutaneous injection of P140 (in both 200 microgram ("mcg")
and 800 mcg doses (note: 1mcg = 1 millionth of a gram) showed a
clear time and dose-related PK profile, which is detectable in the
blood of human volunteers and applicable for all potential clinical
dosing regiments of P140.
The final group of subjects completed dosing on 30 March 2022.
This was a group of subjects that received an intravenous injection
of a 800 mcg dose of P140, which showed successful measurement of
the absolute bioavailability of the drug (as a control). In-line
with all human dosing to date, P140 was safe and well tolerated
across all doses and in all subjects.
Avion, our US partner, has been integral to the development,
initiation and successful conclusion of this PK study.
Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)
ImmuPharma continues to have important collaboration
arrangements with the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique
("CNRS"), the French National Council for Scientific Research and
the largest basic research organisation in Europe. This is where
Lupuzor(TM) /P140 platform was invented by Prof. Sylviane Muller,
Emeritus Research Director at the CNRS. Through this partnership,
the CNRS will be entitled to receive from ImmuPharma, low
double-digit royalty payments of funds received by ImmuPharma from
Avion through the Licence and Development Agreement.
Pipeline Overview
In the second half of 2021, the Board completed a full review of
the R&D activities across the Group which resulted in the Board
having the following conclusions:
There is a depth of scientific knowledge and innovation within
the R&D team in Bordeaux and with the new scientific leadership
we expect there to be a significant improvement in productivity and
achievement of product development targets in the future. There is
a need for a focus on those product developments (see below) which
offer the highest probability of both scientific and commercial
success.
Management will concentrate more of their time on identifying
and concluding commercial collaborations and licensing deals across
the product portfolio.
Having assessed our current portfolio and resources, the focus
will now be on Autoimmunity, Anti-infection and those product
developments which offer near-term and commercially viable
opportunities:
Autoimmunity & Inflammation
The increasing knowledge of P140's mode of action and its
relevance to many autoimmune and inflammatory conditions provides a
depth of disease states for ImmuPharma and its partners to explore
in the near future. The therapeutic potential of P140 goes beyond
just lupus, with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy
("CIDP") being the next step. This expanding insight is
fundamentally driven by the excellent research partnership between
the Company and Prof. Sylviane Muller, inventor of P140 and
Emeritus Research Director CNRS, France. Key highlights within the
progression of the P140 platform are summarized below:
o Lupuzor(TM) (P140) - successfully completed PK study prior to
the commencement of the optimized Phase 3 study in lupus.
o P140 - CIDP a neurological disorder targeting the body's
nerves. Active preparation for a phase 2/3 clinical study has now
been initiated.
o P140 - Other indications. Further clinical applications based
on further preclinical investigation include asthma, Sjogrens
syndrome, renal inflammation in diabetes, periodontitis and
gout.
o P140 - Second generation. Our pre-clinical team in Bordeaux,
'ImmuPharma Biotech' has commenced work to develop a
pharmacologically improved version of P140, a second generation
product that aims to further strengthen the IP position and provide
therapies with different improved administration modalities, yet
still maintaining P140 as the active moiety.
Anti-Infection
The innovative peptide technology at ImmuPharma Biotech has been
a huge success and very recently has given rise to a number of
novel development programs, out of which we have identified two
core programs, in pre-clinical development; BioAMB and BioCin,
which we believe have the best commercial opportunity and speed to
market.
o BioAMB, a novel peptide-based drug that offers a potential
improvement on the limiting side effects and poor administration
regime of current Amphotericin-B ("AMB") formulations. AMB is one
of a last line of agents against serious and life-threatening
fungal infections caused by the aspergillus family of fungi.
o BioCin, a novel peptide-based drug based on an existing potent
antibacterial used in high medical need cases and in many cases the
last line of defense. BioCin has the potential to offer improved
safety and/or administration benefits.
Euronext de-listing
After careful review of our listing on the Euronext Growth
Brussels Exchange ("Euronext"), it became apparent that the cost of
the listing outweighed the benefits, as the vast majority of the
trades in the Company's shares were conducted through our primary
listing on AIM, rather than Euronext. Taking this into account and
the best interests of shareholders, the Board made the decision to
de-list from Euronext with the effective date of 18 October
2021.
Board changes and corporate reorganisation
During 2021, a number of key Board changes happened. In June
2021, Dr Robert Zimmer, co-founder of ImmuPharma and Chief
Scientific Officer, retired to pursue other endeavours after 16
years of service. As a substantial shareholder in ImmuPharma and to
demonstrate his continued support of the Company, Dr Zimmer entered
into a lock-in agreement, to not dispose of shares in which he has
an interest, for a period of three years or, if earlier than three
years, the date of the reporting by the Company of the preliminary
results of the next Phase 3 clinical trial of Lupuzor(TM).
On 16 July 2021, Dr Tim Franklin, Chief Operating Officer, was
appointed to the Board of Directors. Tim has worked for ImmuPharma
for over three years, initially as a consultant and more recently
appointed as Chief Operating Officer in November 2020. His key
responsibilities include working closely with ImmuPharma's product
development team and scientific advisors, in addition to exploring
business development opportunities with potential partners. These
activities aim to progress the Company's drug development
portfolio, both through in house development and partnering
opportunities.
On 30 July 2021, as part of a Board Changes announcement, it was
confirmed that Dimitri Dimitriou, co-founder and CEO of ImmuPharma,
for over 16 years, had decided to step down from his position, in
order to pursue a number of other external opportunities. Tim
McCarthy, Chairman, has been appointed as CEO. The Company has
initiated a process to identify a suitable person to take over as
Non-Executive Chair of the Company and during this interim period
Tim McCarthy will continue as Chairman.
Further, on 30 July 2021, Dr Franco di Muzio, Senior NED and Dr
Stéphane Méry, NED stepped down from the Board, following 14 and 6
years in these roles respectively.
On 30 July 2021, Dr Sanjeev Pandya was appointed as Senior
Independent NED. In addition, Lisa Baderoon was appointed to the
Board as a NED.
The corporate reorganisation initiatives (including the Board
changes) are expected to result, from 2022, in overall cost savings
across the Group of approximately GBP1.1m per annum. This is a
decrease of around 50% (compared to 2020), in the Company's
committed overhead costs (excluding R&D project costs).
Included in this overall cost saving are reductions in the costs
relating to the Board and connected parties amounting to
approximately GBP0.5m per annum.
Interest in Incanthera Plc
ImmuPharma has a 13.37% interest in Oncology specialist,
Incanthera plc, which trades on Aquis Stock Exchange ("AQSE") under
the ticker (TIDM:INC).
ImmuPharma also has 7,272,740 warrants options in Incanthera at
an exercise price of 9.5p pence, being the price at which new
shares have been issued in the Placing accompanying Incanthera's
listing.
As a major shareholder, ImmuPharma remains supportive of
Incanthera.

ImmuPharma at a price of 11p per ordinary share ("Issue Price").
The Company has also entered into a sharing agreement ("Sharing
Agreement") with Lanstead Capital Investors L.P. ("Lanstead"), see
below.
The subscriptions comprised of 10,909,091 new ordinary shares by
Alora Pharmaceuticals LLC ("Alora"), the parent company of Avion,
to raise GBP1.2m and a further GBP2.2m subscription for 20,000,000
new ordinary shares with Lanstead Capital Investors LP
("Lanstead"), at an Issue Price of 11 pence per share, together
with a related Sharing Agreement. The Chelverton Asset Management
placing secured GBP150k for 1,363,636 new ordinary shares.

these shares with a reference price of 14.6667p per share
("Benchmark Price"). The Sharing Agreement is for a 24 month period
and the Company will receive 24 equal monthly settlements, as
measured against Benchmark Price. The actual consideration is
variable depending upon ImmuPharma's share price and provides the
opportunity for ImmuPharma to benefit from a positive future share
price performance.
The Company also agreed to issue Lanstead 1,400,000 ordinary
shares in connection with entering into the Sharing Agreement
("Value Payment Shares").
The Company also issued 90,909 and 1,000,000 new Ordinary Shares
("Fee Shares") at an issue price of 11 pence per share to SPARK and
Stanford Capital Partners respectively, in lieu of fees.
The Issue Price of 11 pence represented a 80 percent premium to
the closing mid-market price (of 6.1p) of the Ordinary Shares on 17
December 2021, the latest business date prior to the Subscriptions
and Placing.
Warrants
On 23 December 2021, for each ordinary share subscribed for, as
detailed above, two warrants were issued by ImmuPharma. The
warrants are exercisable for 10 years at an exercise price of 11
pence. In total 64,545,454 warrants were issued under the
Subscriptions and Placing.
Current Activities and Outlook
2021 brought significant changes in the leadership of the
ImmuPharma. We have created positive and constructive changes
within the business, with a focus on delivery of product
development, value added milestones and a much more commercially
driven corporate strategy.
With now fully reviewed and assessed R&D development
programs, we remain focused on bringing our two late-stage clinical
assets, Lupuzor(TM) and CIDP closer to the market, whilst ensuring
earlier stage assets, specifically within anti-infectives progress,
with a key focus on partnering opportunities.
We were delighted to secure the successful fundraising in late
2021, as it demonstrated that our corporate repositioning efforts,
since the Board changes, were recognised by our existing
shareholders and partner, Avion (Alora Pharmaceuticals).
In closing, we look forward to sharing value enhancing newsflow
over the next period and we would like to thank our shareholders
for their support as well as our staff, corporate and scientific
advisers and our partners including, CNRS and Avion.

Financial Review
The financial results of the ImmuPharma Group in this report
cover the year ended 31 December 2021. The Group's principal
activity is that of research and development of novel drugs to
treat serious medical conditions.
Income Statement and Statement of Comprehensive Income
The operating loss for the year ended 31 December 2021 was
GBP6.6 million, up from GBP5.6 million for the year ended 31
December 2020. The research and development expenditure was GBP3.7
million, up from GBP2.4 million in 2020. P140 related expenditure
was the main reason for this increase. Administrative expenses were
GBP1.0 million (2020: GBP1.8 million). The operating loss for the
year includes exceptional costs of GBP1.4m (2020: GBPNil) in
respect of corporate reorganisation, including the departures of
Board members (including Dr Robert Zimmer and Dimitri Dimitriou)
and respective settlement agreements.
Finance income has decreased from GBP41k in 2020 to GBP1k in
2021. Finance costs amounted to GBP2.4 million, up from GBP1.7
million in 2020, caused largely by the loss on the Lanstead
derivative financial asset. The loss after tax for the year was
GBP8.2 million, an increase from GBP6.9 million in 2020.
The amounts recognised directly in the Statement of
Comprehensive Income include the total fair value loss of GBP1.0
million (2020: fair value gain of GBP1.5 million) which comprises
the following components: fair value loss on shares held in
Incanthera plc of GBP584k (2020: fair value gain of GBP852k) and
fair value loss on Incanthera's warrants of GBP418k (2020: fair
value gain of GBP626k). Total comprehensive loss for the year was
GBP9.2 million, an increase from GBP5.3 million in 2020.
Statement of Financial Position
The Group cash and cash equivalents at 31 December 2021 amounted
to GBP1.6 million (2020: GBP5.9 million) with the decrease caused
by the research and development expenditure related to PK study,
exceptional costs and repayment of convertible loan notes. The
convertible loan notes liability has been repaid in full in 2021
totalling GBP838k (2020: GBP635k). Trade and other payables
increased to GBP1.6 million (2020: GBP0.6 million) and was largely
due to PK study related expenditure. The total value of the
financial asset equated to GBP1.4 million, comprising of shares in
Incanthera of GBP1.2 million (2020: GBP1.8 million) and warrants in
Incanthera of GBP0.2 million (2020: GBP0.6 million). At 31 December
2021 the Lanstead derivative financial asset amounted to GBP0.9
million (2020: GBP1.2 million). The decrease was a result of the
fair value calculation performed at year end, reflecting the
decrease in ImmuPharma's share price.
Results
The Group recorded a loss for the year of GBP8.2 million (2020:
GBP6.9 million). Basic and diluted loss per share was 3.25p (2020:
3.43p). In accordance with the Group's loss making position, no
dividend is proposed.
Total Voting Rights
The Company had a total of 284,984,933 ordinary shares in issue
at 31 December 2021 with each share carrying the right of one
vote.
Treasury Policy
The policy continues to be that surplus funds of the Group are
held in interest-bearing bank accounts on short or medium
maturities, until commitments to future expenditure are made, when
adequate funds are released to enable future expenditure to be
incurred. The Group's Treasury Policy and controls are
straightforward and approved by the Board.
Financial Strategy
The overall strategy is to maintain a tight control over cash
resources whilst enabling continued progress of the Company's
development assets.

1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial information set out in this announcement does
not comprise the Group's statutory accounts as defined in
section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 for the year ended
31 December 2021 or 31 December 2020.
The financial information has been extracted from the statutory
accounts for the years ended 31 December 2021 and 31 December
2020. The auditors reported on those accounts; their reports
were unqualified and did not contain a statement under either
Section 498(2) or Section 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006
in respect of the years ended 31 December 2021 and 31 December
2020. For the year ended 31 December 2021 it did include
an emphasis of matter paragraph relating to the carrying
value of Parent Company's investment in subsidiaries and
receivables due from group undertakings, and a reference
to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without
qualifying their report in respect of going concern.
For the year ended 31 December 2020, it did include an emphasis
of matter paragraphs relating to the carrying value of Parent
Company's investment in subsidiaries and receivables due
from group undertakings. The Group's statutory accounts
for the year ended 31 December 2020 have been delivered
to the Registrar of Companies, whereas those for the year
ended 31 December 2021 will be delivered to the Registrar
of Companies following the Company's Annual General Meeting.
The accounting policies are consistent with those applied
in the preparation of the statutory accounts for the year
ended 31 December 2020 and interim results for the period
ended 30 June 2020, which have been prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS').
The financial information is for the year ended 31 December
2021 and the comparatives are for the year ended 31 December
2020 and 31 December 2019.
The Group's statutory accounts incorporate the financial
statements of ImmuPharma plc and other entities controlled
by the company ("the subsidiaries"). The control principle
in IFRS 10 sets out the following three elements of control:
power over the investee; exposure, or rights, to variable
returns from involvement with the investee; and. the ability
to use power over the investee to affect the amount of those
returns. The financial statements of these other entities
cease to be included in the Group financial statements from
the date that control ceases.
