Significant financial events 2023

Auditors from BDO’s wording:

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has previously noted in a public report that it is sceptical when an entity states that it has determined that no impairment exists when its market capitalisation is lower than the carrying amount of its listed equity instruments.

The market capitalisation of an entity represents strong external evidence of the value that market participants place on an entity, and therefore its fair value. Consequently, an entity would need to be able to assert that its value in use exceeds its fair value to avoid recording an impairment. (see letter of ceo for company statement)

Letter from the CEO

Focus on the collaboration with our Chinese partner

During the fourth quarter we signed a collaboration agreement with the Chinese company Hipro Biotechnology. The partnership is a direct result of our new Egoo Innovate-strategy, and during the latest months Qlife and Hipro have worked together to develop our relationship.

Qlife and Hipro fit well together

So far, it is very satisfying to see the good match in terms of both competences and technologies. Qlife brings an advanced micro lab for home use, the ability to innovate and qualified assay mechanical engineers. Hipro brings a highly professional production facility, a proven track record for getting IVD test regulatory approved as well as a big R&D team able to execute clinical studies, developing more biomarkers to the Egoo System faster.

During this initial period, Qlife has had two teams visiting Hipro in China. The collaboration between the technical teams, has progressed very well, I see a lot of respect and motivation from both sides.

Together with Hipro we have set a joint plan and targets that we are following on a continuous basis, and we are working closely with weekly Teams meetings.

Hipro is now working swiftly to conclude how they will go to market with our products. They will start with our system that filters plasma from whole blood. In parallel, they are assessing which test capsules they want to implement first.

Hipro puts resources into the project

I am impressed by the high quality of Hipro’s work. The people are competent and motivated, and the company are not afraid to put resources into the project. Already approximately 40 people from Hipro are involved in the activities in one or another way. I have a continuous contact with the Hipro-management and expect to meet them again already during a conference in February.

Right now, Hipro is also working in detail to secure that they understand everything in and around the Egoo System, and that everything is working the way they expect. Hipro aim to start the work with regulatory approvals during the first half of 2024, and we hope that we will have Egoo on the Chinese market during 2024.

Additionally, it is very satisfying to know that all the work that Hipro is doing to get regulatory approval also can be used for UKCA approval and CE-marking in Europe. It is much faster to do the tests in China than to do it ourselves, which means that we really can leverage the Chinese relationship in different ways.

Therefore, we have slightly changed our strategy regarding regulatory approvals in the UK & EU. We are now working on quickly obtaining data from China to use them in our regulatory work aiming for approvals in UK & Europe. This is a much more cost-efficient way of getting regulatory approvals and possibly means that we can move several more tests through the regulatory process.

UK and potential new partnerships

In UK, we have identified the possibility of self-declaring our Egoo Test Capsules, opening the possibility to sell approved (UKCA) test to hospital-at-home, pharmacies, and health practitioners. UK are still, and for at least 2024, following the IVDD as opposed to the IVDR in the EU. Hence we can self-declare in the UK during this year and have the Egoo System on the UK market, where the general demand is big for new solutions to improve health offerings and in particular biomarker tests.

We see a big potential in the UK market and a great interest in selling Egoo. We have initiated dialogue with multiple potential partners. We expect to launch the Egoo System with multiple tests in the second half of 2024, providing us the opportunity to setup the right and reliable partners. Thanks to the collaboration with Hipro and the access to their highly optimized reagents we now can move new biomarkers forward quickly and implement on Egoo.

Besides the intense collaboration work with Hipro, we are working on other new partnerships, and have some very promising contacts, but it is still early discussions.

Significant financial statement 2023

There have been extensive ongoing discussions with the auditors regarding the valuation of the company.

Their determination suggests that the valuation of the shares of subsidiaries held by the parent company should be adjusted to the stock market value of kSEK 12,911. Concurrently, the receivables from the subsidiary should be zeroed out, amounting to kSEK 116,325, resulting in equity nearing zero at kSEK 773. Additionally, for the group, this entails a negative impact as the value of capitalized development costs will also be written down to kSEK 12,911, representing a total write-down of kSEK 87,201.

The management do not perceive the year-end value as indicative of the true value of the company. The management anticipate that the future value of the company will be significantly higher, particularly through our collaboration with Hipro, which has yet to be substantiated.

Purpose of the upcoming rights issue
After the third quarter, we announced a new rights issue with the target to finance the company until we see sales from China. The rights issue will initially give us financing for the first half of 2024. It then follows by a TO4 warrant in June with the purpose to finance the rest of 2024, followed by a TO5 warrant in November/December 2024 that will take us to the point where we start to see revenues from China and the UK.
