1. Reporting entity

Affimed N.V. is a Dutch company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap) and has its corporate seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, registered with the trade register of the Chamber of Commerce (handelsregister van de Kamer van Koophandel) under number 60673389.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are comprised of Affimed N.V. and its controlled (and wholly owned) subsidiaries Affimed GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany, AbCheck s.r.o., Plzen, Czech Republic, and Affimed Inc., Delaware, USA (collectively “Affimed”, the “Company” or the “Group”).

Affimed is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing highly targeted cancer immunotherapies. The Group’s product candidates are developed in the field of immuno-oncology, which represents an innovative approach to cancer treatment that seeks to harness the body’s own immune defenses to fight tumor cells. Affimed has its own research and development programs, strategic collaborations and service contracts, where the Group is performing research services for third parties.

2. Basis of preparation and changes to Group’s accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements (referred to as the “interim financial statements”) as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the consolidated annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Affimed N.V.’s annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022.

The interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Company’s Management Board on August 10, 2023.

Loss per share

Loss per common share is calculated by dividing the loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

As of June 30, 2023, the Group has granted 25,885,194 options and warrants in connection with share-based payment programs (see note 10) and a loan agreement, which could potentially have a dilutive effect but were excluded from the diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive due to the net loss generated by the Group.

Critical judgments and accounting estimates

The preparation of the interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

In preparing these interim financial statements, the critical judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Functional and presentation currency

These interim financial statements are presented in euro. The functional currency of the Group’s subsidiaries is also the euro. All financial information presented in euro has been rounded to the nearest thousand (abbreviated €) or million (abbreviated € million).

Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies applied by the Group in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

New standards and amendments to standards

The following forthcoming standards and amendments to standards have not been applied in preparing these interim financial statements.

Standard/interpretation		Effective Date¹

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements:
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current		January 1, 2024
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements:
Non-current Liabilities with Covenants		January 1, 2024
Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases:
Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback		January 1, 2024
Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments:
Disclosures: Supplier Finance Arrangements		January 1, 2024

The amended standards are not expected to have a significant effect on the interim financial statements of the Group.

Fair Value Measurement

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is recognized in the interim financial statements are classified in accordance with the following fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input parameter that is significant on the whole for fair value measurement:

●	Level 1 – Prices for identical assets or liabilities quoted in active markets (non-adjusted);

●	Level 2 – Measurement procedures, in which the lowest level input parameter significant on the whole for fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable for on the market; and

●	Level 3 – Measurement procedures, in which the lowest level input parameter significant on the whole for fair value measurement is not directly or indirectly observable for on the market.

The carrying amount of all trade and other receivables, other assets and prepaid expenses, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other payables and loans is a reasonable approximation of the fair value and, therefore, information about the fair values of those financial instruments has not been disclosed. The measurement of the fair value of preferred and common shares in other companies held by the group is based on level 1 and 3 inputs (see note 5). The Group recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as the date at which the change has occurred.

¹Shall apply for periods beginning on or after the date shown in the effective date column.

3. Revenue

Collaboration with Genentech Inc.

In August 2018, Affimed entered into a strategic collaboration agreement with Genentech Inc. (Genentech), headquartered in South San Francisco, USA. Under the terms of the agreement, Affimed is providing services related to the development of novel NK cell engager-based immunotherapeutics to treat multiple cancers. The Genentech agreement became effective at the beginning of October 2018. Under the terms of the agreement, Affimed received $96.0 million (€83.2 million) in initial upfront and committed funding on October 31, 2018.

The Group recognized €0.2 million and €0.3 million as revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 (2022: €3.3 million and €7.3 million). As of the end of 2022, Affimed had completed work on and/or handed over all product candidates for further investigation by Genentech. The remaining revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2023 relates to a platform license. As of June 30, 2023, the Group held contract liabilities of €1.4 million (December 31, 2022: €1.7 million), which will be recognized as revenue in subsequent periods.

Under the terms of the agreement, Affimed is eligible to receive up to an additional $5.0 billion over time, including payments upon achievement of specified development, regulatory and commercial milestones. Affimed is also eligible to receive royalties on any potential sales.

Collaboration with Roivant Sciences Ltd.

On November 9, 2020, Affimed and Affivant Sciences GmbH (formerly Pharmavant 6 GmbH), a subsidiary of Roivant Sciences Ltd. (Roivant), announced a strategic collaboration agreement which grants Roivant a license to the preclinical molecule AFM32. Under the terms of the agreement, Affimed received $60 million in upfront consideration, comprised of $40 million in cash and pre-funded research and development funding, and $20 million of common shares in Roivant. The Group is eligible to receive up to an additional $2 billion in milestone payments upon achievement of specified development, regulatory and commercial milestones, as well as tiered royalties on net sales.

The Group recognized €1.1 million and €5.4 million as revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 (2022: €4.0 million and €7.9 million). As of June 30, 2023, the Group held contract liabilities of €3.3 million (December 31, 2022: €8.6 million), which will be recognized as revenue in subsequent periods as services are provided.

4. Operating loss

In April 2023, Affimed conducted a reorganization of its operations to focus on the Group’s three clinical stage development programs. As a result of the reorganization, the Group incurred a one-time expenditure for termination payments of €1.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Certain of these termination payments have already been settled and the balance will be settled in the second half of 2023. However, all of these termination payments have already been accrued for in calculating operating loss for the three and six months ended June 30,2023.

6. Long- term financial assets

The Group holds preferred shares in Amphivena, which are currently recognized at their fair value of nil. The impairment of the asset was recognized in 2021 based on the decision made by the board of Amphivena to wind down the company. Based on current information, we continue to estimate that the fair value remains at nil (December 31, 2022: nil).

7. Trade and other receivables

The trade receivables as of June 30, 2023 were €10 (December 31, 2022: €0). These trade receivables are all due in the short-term, do not bear interest and are not impaired. Other receivables are all due within the short-term and mainly comprise value-added tax receivables of €0.9 million (December 31, 2022: €1.5 million).

8. Other assets and prepaid expenses

The other assets and prepaid expenses as of June 30, 2023 of €7.9 million (December 31, 2022: €2.5 million) are short-term in nature, do not bear interest and are not impaired. The other assets and prepaid expenses mainly comprise a prepayment of €3.2 million for clinical trial management services and €0.7 million for reservation for toxicity study capacity (December 31, 2022: €1.1 million for the reservation of manufacturing capacity), a directors and officers’ liability insurance premium of €1.2 million (December 31, 2022: €0 million) and €1.5 million (December 31, 2022: €0.5 million) prepayment for assets secured for new premises.

9. Equity

As of June 30, 2023, the share capital of €1,493 (December 31, 2022: €1,493) is comprised of 149,339,335 (December 31, 2022: 149,339,335) common shares with a par value of €0.01 per share.

On April 18, 2022, the Company closed its public offering of 25,875,000 common shares (including over-allotment shares) at the public offering price of $4.00 per share, generating net proceeds of €89.8 million ($97.1 million), after deducting €6.0 million ($6.5 million) in underwriting commissions and other offering expenses.

10. Share-based payments

In 2014, an equity-settled share-based payment program was established by Affimed N.V. (ESOP 2014). Under this program, the Company granted awards to certain members of the Management Board, certain members of the Company’s Supervisory Board, non-employee consultants and employees.

Share-based payments with service conditions

The majority of the awards vest in instalments over three years and can be exercised up to 10 years after the grant date. The Group granted 384,000 and 8,052,750 awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 to employees, members of the Management Board and members of the Supervisory Board. Fair value of the awards at grant date in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 amounts to €0.2 million ($0.2 million) and €5.9 million ($6.3 million). 217,725 and 368,540 ESOP 2014 awards were cancelled or forfeited due to termination of employment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 (June 30, 2022: 13,926 and 99,591). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, no options were exercised (June 30, 2022: 18,994 and 43,440 options at a weighted average share price of $2.26 and $2.52).

As of June 30, 2023, 22,953,944 ESOP 2014 options were outstanding (December 31, 2022: 15,269,734), and 11,169,133 awards had vested (December 31, 2022: 8,510,863). The options outstanding as of June 30, 2023 had an exercise price in the range of $0.60 to $13.47 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 7.7 years (December 31, 2022: 7.4 years) and a weighted average exercise price of $3.55 (December 31, 2022: $4.91).

Share-based payments with market condition

During 2022, the Company issued 2,825,000 options (1,325,000 awards in the first quarter and 1,500,000 awards in the second quarter of 2022), with market-based performance conditions to members of the Management Board and employees. Each grant consists of three tranches, whereby one-third of the total grant will vest when the volume-weighted average share price over the preceding thirty trading days reaches $12.00, $15.00, and $18.00, respectively. Except with respect to a change of control, these options shall not vest before the first anniversary of the grant date. As of June 30, 2023, no options were cancelled, forfeited or exercised.

Fair value at grant date of the awards granted in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 amounts to €1.4 million ($1.8 million) and €2.9 million ($3.2 million). The contractual lifetime of the options is two years. Any unvested awards on the date that is two years following the grant date will lapse.

Share-based payment expense

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compensation expense of €3,231 (including an accelerated expense due to the reduction of the Company’s headcount in the course of the reorganization) and €7,389 was recognized affecting research and development expenses (€1,709 and €4,022) and general and administrative expenses (€1,523 and €3,368). In the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compensation expense of €5,625 and €9,872 was recognized affecting research and development expenses (€2,889 and €5,194) and general and administrative expenses (€2,736 and €4,678).

Fair value measurement

The fair value of options with service conditions granted in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. The significant inputs into the valuation model are as follows (weighted average):


	June 30, 2023			June 30, 2022
Fair value at grant date	$	0.79		$	3.30
Share price at grant date	$	1.05		$	4.45
Exercise price	$	1.05		$	4.45
Expected volatility		90	%		90	%
Expected life		5.86			5.87
Expected dividends		0.00			0.00
Risk-free interest rate		3.95	%		2.22	%

The fair value of options with market conditions granted in the six months ended June 30, 2022, was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. The significant inputs into the valuation model are as follows (weighted average):


	June 30, 2022
Fair value at grant date	$	1.13
Share price at grant date	$	4.58
Exercise price	$	4.58
Expected volatility		70	%
Expected life		2.00
Expected dividends		0.00
Risk-free interest rate		2.41	%

Expected volatility is estimated based on the observed daily share price returns of Affimed measured over a historic period equal to the expected life of the awards.

The risk-free interest rates are based on the yield to maturity of U.S. Treasury strips (as best available indication for risk-free rates), for a term equal to the expected life, as measured as of the grant date.

11. Borrowings

Silicon Valley Bank

In January 2021, the Group entered into a new loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank German Branch (now: Silicon Valley Bridge Bank N.A. Germany Branch) or “SVB” which provides Affimed with up to €25 million in term loans in three tranches: €10 million available at closing, an additional €7.5 million upon the achievement of certain conditions, including milestones related to Affimed’s pipeline and market capitalization, and a third tranche of €7.5 million upon the achievement of certain additional conditions related to Affimed’s pipeline and liquidity. The first tranche of €10 million was drawn in February 2021 and the second tranche of €7.5 million in December 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the loan bears interest at the greater of the European Central Bank Base Rate and 0%, plus 5.5%. Affimed was entitled to make interest only payments through December 1, 2022. The loan will mature at the end of November 2025. As of June 30, 2023, the fair value of the liability did not differ significantly from its carrying amount.

The loan is secured by a pledge of 100% of the Group’s ownership interest in Affimed GmbH, all intercompany claims owed to Affimed N.V. by its subsidiaries, and collateral agreements for all bank accounts, inventory, trade receivables and other receivables of Affimed N.V. and Affimed GmbH recognized in the interim financial statements.

In July 2023, Bootstrap Europe announced the acquisition of SVB. The loan agreement is expected to be transferred to Bootstrap Europe with no change in the terms of the loan agreement.

UniCredit Leasing CZ

In April 2019, the Group entered into a loan agreement with UniCredit Leasing CZ for €562. After an initial instalment of €127 in the second quarter of 2019, repayment is effected in monthly instalments of €8 until May 2024. As of June 30, 2023, an amount of €89 (December 31, 2022: €136) was outstanding, of which €89 was classified as current liabilities (December 31, 2022: €96). As of June 30, 2023, the fair value of the liability did not differ significantly from its carrying amount.

Overview

We are a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company focused on discovering and developing highly targeted cancer immunotherapies. Our product candidates represent an innovative approach to cancer treatment that seeks to harness the body’s own immune defenses to fight tumor cells. One of the most potent cells of the human defense arsenal are types of white blood cells called innate immune cells (Natural Killer cells, or NK cells, and macrophages). Leveraging our fit-for-purpose ROCK® (Redirected Optimized Cell Killing) platform, we develop proprietary, next-generation bispecific antibodies, so-called innate cell engagers, which are designed to direct innate immune cells and establish a bridge to cancer cells. Our innate cell engagers have the ability to bring innate immune cells into the proximity of tumor cells and trigger a signal cascade that leads to the destruction of cancer cells. Due to their novel tetravalent architecture with four binding domains, our innate cell engagers bind to their targets with high affinity and have half-lives that allow for regular intravenous administration. Different dosing schemes are being explored to allow for improved exposure in relapsed and refractory cancer patient populations. Based on their mechanism of action as well as the preclinical and clinical data we have generated to date, we believe that our product candidates as monotherapy or in combination, may ultimately improve response rates, clinical outcomes and survival in cancer patients, and could eventually become a cornerstone of modern targeted oncology care. Building on our leadership in the innate cell engager space, we are also developing novel antibody formats with the potential to tailor innate cell-engaging therapy to different indications and settings.

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through our public offerings of our common shares, private placements of equity securities, the incurrence of loans including convertible loans and through government grants and payments for collaborative research and development services. Through June 30, 2023, we have raised an aggregate of approximately €570.4 million (gross proceeds) through the issuance of equity and incurrence of loans. To date, we have not generated any revenues from product sales or royalties. Based on our current plans, we do not expect to generate product or royalty revenues unless and until we or any collaboration partner obtain marketing approval for, and commercialize, any of our product candidates.

We have generated losses since we began our drug development operations in 2000. As of June 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of €491.6 million.

Notwithstanding our collaborations with Genentech Inc. (“Genentech”) and Roivant Sciences Ltd. (“Roivant”), we expect to continue incurring losses as we continue our preclinical and clinical development programs, apply for marketing approval for our product candidates and, subject to obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates, build a marketing and sales team to commercialize our product candidates. Our profitability is dependent upon the successful development, approval, and commercialization of our product candidates and achieving a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure. We may never achieve profitability, and unless and until we do, we will continue to need to raise additional capital. We intend to fund future operations through additional equity and debt financings, and we may seek additional capital through arrangements with strategic partners or from other sources.

In 2009, we formed AbCheck s.r.o., our 100% owned, independently run antibody screening platform company, located in the Czech Republic. AbCheck discovers and optimizes human therapeutic antibodies with a versatile technology platform. Tailored to the specific needs of its customers and their desired target product profiles, AbCheck designs a personalized approach leveraging both cutting edge (e.g., microfluidics, rabbit mass humanization) and classical (e.g., phage/yeast display libraries) technologies to provide high quality leads. In addition to providing candidates for Affimed projects, AbCheck has multiple partnerships throughout the U.S. and Europe with globally active pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies such as Tusk Therapeutics, bluebird bio, Eli Lilly, Daiichi Sankyo, Pierre Fabre and others. We have one U.S. subsidiary, Affimed Inc., with senior employees in finance, investor relations, business development, corporate strategy, communication and medical/clinical operations.

Recent Developments

In January 2023, the FDA issued a written response to our pre-investigational new drug (“IND”) meeting request for the AFM13 and Artiva AB-101 co-administered combination therapy in relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma and the exploratory arm evaluating the combination in r/r CD30-positive peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

In March 2023, we announced that the first patient was dosed in a phase 1 multicenter, open label, first-in-human dose escalation study of the innate cell engager (ICE®) AFM28 monotherapy in patients with CD123-positive relapsed/refractory (r/r) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AFM28 efficiently directs natural killer (NK) cells to CD123-positive leukemic cells in our preclinical models, including blasts and leukemic stem and progenitor cells, inducing their depletion in samples of patients with AML and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

In April 2023, we received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, for the last thirty consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s common shares had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until October 2, 2023, to regain compliance. If the Company fails to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule during this period, the Company may consider applying to transfer its securities from The Nasdaq Global Select Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market, provided that the Company meets the applicable market value of publicly held shares required for continued listing and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (except for the bid price requirement). Such transfer would provide the Company with an additional 180 calendar days, or until April 1, 2024, to regain compliance. There can be no assurance that the Company would be eligible for the additional 180 calendar day compliance period, if applicable, or that the Nasdaq staff would grant the Company’s request for continued listing. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common shares. The Company intends to monitor the bid price of its common shares and consider available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule, such as effecting a reverse stock split, for which authorization was given during the Company’s annual shareholder meeting 2023.

In April 2023, we announced the final results from our phase 2 REDIRECT study investigating our innate cell engager (ICE®) AFM13 monotherapy in patients with heavily pretreated advanced-stage r/r PTCL. The results were presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting by Dr. Won Seog Kim, Professor of Hematology-Oncology at Samsung Medical Center in Seoul and a principal investigator for the study, and established that AFM13 monotherapy showed efficacy in the treatment of relapsed/refractory peripheral T cell lymphoma (r/r PTCL) patients with a differentiated safety profile. As stated above, primary efficacy measures include an ORR of 32.4% and a CR rate of 10.2%. Key secondary and exploratory outcome measures include safety, durability of response, progression free survival and overall survival. Median DoR was 2.3 months, median PFS was 3.5 months and median OS was 13.8 months. PFS and OS were comparable with currently approved therapies for r/r PTCL. Of all PTCL subsets, patients with AITL exhibited the highest ORR (53.3%) and CR (26.7%) with DoR not meaningfully different across the various subsets. The safety profile of AFM13 was well managed and consistent with previously reported data of prior and ongoing clinical studies with AFM13. Most common TEAEs were IRR (25%), neutropenia (10.2%) and pyrexia (8.3%). No AFM13-related fatal toxicities were observed.

In April 2023, Affimed conducted a reorganization of its operations to focus on the Company’s three clinical stage development programs. As a result of the reorganization, the Group reduced its full-time equivalent headcount by approximately 25%. As a result of the reorganization, the Group incurred a one-time expenditure for termination payments of €1.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Affimed expects this one-time cash expenditure to be offset by cost savings during the remainder of 2023.

In May 2023, we announced the FDA clearance of our IND application for a clinical study evaluating the combination of AFM13, and AB-101, AFM13-203. The phase 2 study will be open-label, multi-center, multi-cohort study with a run-in phase followed by a dose optimization and an expansion phase. The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of AFM13 in combination with AB-101 in patients

with relapsed / refractory classical HL (cHL) and CD30-positive PTCL. The activation of the first study sites is expected to be in September/October 2023 and we expect to report initial data in the first half of 2024.

In June 2023, at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting we presented safety and efficacy data from the EGFR mutant NSCLC expansion cohort of our ongoing AFM24-101 phase 1/2 study investigating innate cell engager (ICE®) AFM24 as monotherapy. The AFM24 EGFR mutant NSCLC cohort is part of the AFM24-101 open-label, non-randomized, multi-center, phase 1/2a study (NCT04259450) investigating the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of AFM24 monotherapy in patients with advanced or metastatic EGFR+ solid tumors. Other cohorts being investigated included colorectal cancer (CRC) and renal carcinoma (RCC). At the planned interim analysis, 15 patients with EGFR mutant NSCLC and a median of 2 prior lines of therapy had been treated with a median of 11 doses of AFM24. As of the cut-off date, the data showed clinical activity and signals of anti-tumor activity in 7 out of 15 heavily pre-treated patients, including two confirmed partial responses and five patients with stable disease resulting in an objective response rate of 13% and a disease control rate of 47%. Concurrent with the presentation, we announced our intention to focus near-term clinical development of AFM24 on the combination with atezolizumab (AFM24-102), and announced the discontinuation of both AFM24-101 and AFM24-103 (combination with SNK01 autologous NK cells).

In July 2023, we announced that an abstract with clinical trial results of our ICE® AFM24 in combination with NKGen Biotech’s SNK01 (autologous non-genetically modified NK cells), has been accepted for a poster presentation at the ASCO Breakthrough conference from 3-5 August 2023 in Yokohama, Japan. The presentation includes dose escalation phase data on safety and efficacy of the ICE® AFM24 phase 1 study in patients with advanced or metastatic EGFR-expressing solid tumors (NCT05099549). As of June 2023, seven patients with a mean number of five prior therapies received the combination of AFM24 and SNK01. No unexpected or dose-limiting toxicities were observed, and the PK properties were similar to AFM24 monotherapy. The best objective response was stable disease in three out of the seven patients, including patients with heavily pretreated microsatellite stable colorectal cancer (MSS CRC). Despite these data, Affimed and NKGen Biotech mutually decided to discontinue the presented study. In line with Affimed’s NK cell combination experience for AFM13, Affimed is currently evaluating the best option to advance AFM24 with an allogeneic off-the-shelf NK cell product.

Collaboration and License Agreements

There have been no material changes to our license agreements from those reported in “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Collaborations” in the Annual Report.

Research and Development Expense

We will use our existing liquidity primarily to fund research and development expense. Our research and development expense is highly dependent on the development phases of our research projects and therefore fluctuates widely from period to period. Our research and development expense mainly relates to the following key programs:

AFM13. The following is a summary of completed and ongoing research and development activities for AFM13:

In January 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) issued a written response to our pre-investigational new drug (“IND”) meeting request for the AFM13 and Artiva Biotherapeutics, Inc. AB-101 co-administered combination therapy in relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma and the exploratory arm evaluating the combination in r/r CD30-positive peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Based on the written response, Affimed submitted and received clearance from FDA for an IND application during the second quarter of 2023 and expects the activation of the first clinical sites in September/October 2023.

In December 2022, we provided a data update from the ongoing phase 1/2 study of the Company’s lead innate cell engager (ICE®) AFM13 precomplexed with cord blood-derived natural killer (cbNK) cells in patients with CD30-positive relapsed or refractory (R/R) Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Key observations as of the cutoff date include:

35 Hodgkin lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients treated at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) showed an objective response rate (ORR) of 94% and a complete response (CR) rate of 71%. 63% of patients treated at the RP2D with at least 6 months follow-up after initial infusion (n=24) remain in complete response for at least 6 months. The treatment continues to be well tolerated in the larger patient population, with minimal side effects beyond the expected myelosuppression from the preceding lymphodepleting chemotherapy. No instances of cytokine release syndrome, immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome, or graft versus host

disease were observed. There were 20 infusion-related reactions in 294 infusions (6.8%) of AFM13 alone and one infusion-related reaction in 99 infusions (1%) of the cbNK cells precomplexed with AFM13. No dose-limiting toxicities were encountered.

In December 2022, we released topline data from our phase 2 REDIRECT study investigating AFM13 monotherapy in patients with advanced-stage R/R Peripheral T Cell Lymphoma. Primary efficacy measures include objective response rate of 32.4% and a CR rate of 10.2%. Key secondary and exploratory outcome measures include safety, durability of response, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). The safety profile of AFM13 was well managed and consistent with previously reported data of prior and ongoing clinical studies with AFM13. Median duration of response (DoR) was 2.3 months, median PFS was 3.5 months and median OS was 13.8 months. Based on the compelling data seen in Hodgkin lymphoma for the combination of AFM13 with cord blood-derived NK cells in the AFM13-104 study, we believe that the combination with AB-101 has a higher probability to deliver increased anti-tumor activity and a more durable clinical benefit to address the unmet need in this patient population. Accordingly, we do not intend to pursue an accelerated approval for AFM13 monotherapy in PTCL and will focus investment on clinical development in the combination of AFM13 with Artiva’s AB-101 NK cell product.

In November 2022, we announced a new strategic partnership with Artiva Biotherapeutics (“Artiva”) to jointly develop, manufacture, and commercialize a combination therapy of ICE® AFM13 and Artiva’s cord blood-derived, cryopreserved off-the-shelf allogeneic NK cell product candidate, AB-101. Under the terms of the agreement, Affimed and Artiva will pursue the development of the AFM13/AB-101 combination treatment in the United States on a co-exclusive basis. Affimed will lead regulatory activities through Phase 2 and any confirmatory studies. Affimed will be responsible for funding clinical study costs through Phase 2, while Artiva will be responsible for the costs of supplying AB-101 and IL-2 for such studies. The companies will share confirmatory study costs on a 50/50 basis. Both companies will retain commercialization and distribution rights and book sales for their respective products. Affimed will be responsible for promotional activities and expenses of the combination therapy. Pursuant to the agreement, revenues from the combination will be shared, with Affimed receiving 67% of the combination therapy revenue and Artiva receiving 33%.

We anticipate that our research and development expenses in 2023 for AFM13 will increase compared to those for 2022 due to the continuation of the existing clinical studies and the initiation of a new clinical study, pre-clinical studies and the scale-up of the production of AFM13 for commercial purposes.

AFM24. AFM24, a tetravalent, bispecific epidermal growth factor receptor, and CD16A-binding innate cell engager. Affimed reported data from the phase 2a phase of its ongoing monotherapy study at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting in June 2023. At the planned interim analysis, 15 patients with EGFR mutant NSCLC and a median of 2 prior lines of therapy had been treated with a median of 11 doses of AFM24. As of the cut-off date, the data showed clinical activity and signals of anti-tumor activity in 7 out of 15 heavily pre-treated patients, including two confirmed partial responses and five patients with stable disease resulting in an objective response rate of 13% and a disease control rate of 47%. In addition, Affimed reported data from its combination study with SNK01 in July 2023 and expects to report data from its combination study with atezolizumab in the fourth quarter of 2023. We anticipate that our research and development expenses in 2023 for AFM24 will increase compared to those in 2022.

AFM28. AFM28 is designed to bind to CD123, an established target in myeloid malignancies. We chose CD123 as it is almost universally expressed on leukemic blasts and leukemic stem cells in patients with AML, both at diagnosis and at relapse, and independently of cytogenetic risk. AFM28 is being developed for the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia. In June 2022, we submitted an IND to the FDA for AFM28. Following feedback from the FDA related to the design of the dose escalation study, we made a strategic decision to voluntarily withdraw the IND and to focus early clinical development of AFM28 in jurisdictions outside of the U.S. The Company initiated recruitment into a phase 1 clinical study in the first quarter of 2023.

Other projects and infrastructure costs. Our other research and development expenses relate to our Roivant and Artiva collaborations, and early-stage development/discovery activities. We have allocated a material amount of our resources to such discovery activities. The expenses mainly consist of salaries, manufacturing costs for pre-clinical study material and pre-clinical studies. In addition, we incur a significant amount of costs associated with our research and development that are non-project specific, including intellectual property-related expenses, depreciation expenses and facility costs. Because these are less dependent on individual ongoing programs, they are not allocated to specific projects. We assume that other projects and infrastructure costs will decrease in 2023 due to decreased early-stage development/discovery activities and the reorganization as already mentioned under recent developments.

Revenue

Revenue decreased to €1.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 from €7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2023 relates predominantly to the Roivant collaboration with €1.1 million, while 2022 predominantly related to the Genentech and Roivant collaborations with €3.3 million and €4.0 million respectively. Revenue from the Roivant collaboration in the three months ended June 30, 2023 was comprised of revenue recognized for collaborative research services performed during the quarter. Revenue from the Genentech collaboration declined as compared to the prior year period due to the fact that, as of the end of 2022, Affimed had completed work on and/or handed over all product candidates for further investigation by Genentech.

Research and development expenses amounted to €25.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to research and development expenses of €20.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. The variances in project-related expenses between the projects for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and the corresponding period in 2022 are mainly due to the following:

AFM13. In the three months ended June 30, 2023 we incurred higher expenses (248%) than in the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to the increase of costs for clinical trial material, the scale-up of manufacturing of AFM13 for commercial purposes and clinical trial costs.

AFM24. In the three months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred higher expenses (7%) than in the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to the continued enrollment of patients in our ongoing phase 1/2a clinical trials and manufacturing activities for clinical trial material required for the ongoing studies.

AFM28. In the three months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred lower expenses (21%) than in the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to lower costs for preclinical development activities.

Other projects and infrastructure costs. In the three months ended June 30, 2023, expenses were slightly lower (2%) than in the three months ended June 30, 2022. A one-time termination expenditure was incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2023 due to the reorganization of the Group, but these costs were offset by a decline in costs incurred with respect to certain of our collaboration projects, such as the Roivant collaboration, which is coming to an end.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses amounted to €6.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to €8.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease of 25% was primarily due to a decline in legal and consulting expenses, as well as a decline in the share-based payment expense and insurance premiums. This decline, however, was partially offset by a one-time termination expenditure incurred as a result of the reorganization we conducted in April 2023.

Finance income / (costs)-net

Finance income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 totaled €0 million, compared to finance income of €2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Finance income/costs in the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are primarily made up of foreign exchange gains / losses related to cash and cash equivalents denominated in U.S. dollars as a result of the change in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro.

Other comprehensive income/(loss)

The Group previously held common shares in Roivant, resulting in a fair value adjustment of €0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. These common shares were all sold in 2022, and accordingly no fair value adjustment has arisen in the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Revenue

Revenue decreased from €15.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 to €5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2023 relates predominantly to the Roivant collaboration with €5.4 million, while revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2022 predominantly related to the Genentech and Roivant collaborations with €7.3 million and €7.9 million respectively. Revenue from the Roivant collaboration in the six months ended June 30, 2023 was comprised of revenue recognized for collaborative research services performed during the six months. Revenue from the Genentech collaboration declined as compared to the prior year period due to the fact that, as of the end of 2022, Affimed had completed work on and/or handed over all product candidates for further investigation by Genentech.

Other projects and infrastructure costs	18,665	15,925	17%
Share-based payment expense	4,022	5,194	(23%)
Total	54,804	39,208	40%

Research and development expenses increased from €39.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 to €54.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The variances in project-related expenses between the projects for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the corresponding period in 2022 are mainly due to the following:

AFM13. In the six months ended June 30, 2023 we incurred higher expenses (287%) than in the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to an increase in overall clinical trial costs, the scale-up of manufacturing of AFM13 for commercial purposes as well as costs for clinical trial material.

AFM24. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred higher expenses (30%) than in the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to the continued enrollment of patients in our ongoing phase 1/2a clinical trials and associated manufacturing activities for the clinical trial material required for the ongoing studies.

AFM28. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred lower expenses (28%) than in the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to lower costs for preclinical development activities.

Other projects and infrastructure costs. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, expenses were higher (17%) than in the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to higher expenses incurred in relation to our earlier stage programs, including our collaborations with Artiva, and discovery/early stage development activities and infrastructure costs. The increase is also a result of a one-time termination expenditure incurred due to the reorganization of the Group.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses amounted to €13.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to €15.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. These costs have declined (15%) mainly as a result of a decline in legal and consulting expenses, as well as a decline in share-based payment expense and insurance premiums. This decline, however, was partially offset by a one-time termination expenditure incurred as a result of the reorganization.

Finance income / (costs)-net

Finance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2023 totaled €0.5 million, compared to finance income of €2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Finance income/costs in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are primarily made up of foreign exchange gains / losses related to cash and cash equivalents denominated in U.S. dollars as a result of the change in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro.

Other comprehensive income/(loss)

The Group previously held common shares in Roivant resulting in a fair value adjustment of €6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022; these shares were all sold in 2022, and accordingly no fair value adjustment has arisen in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have not generated any revenue from product sales and we have incurred significant operating losses. We have funded our operations to date primarily through our public offerings of our common shares, private placements of equity securities and loans, grants and payments from collaboration partners.

Cash flows

The table below summarizes our consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Six months ended June 30,
	2023	2022

	(unaudited)
	(in € thousand)
Net cash used in operating activities	(66,574)	(54,904)
Net cash used for/generated from investing activities	(11)	1,324
Net cash used in/generated from financing activities	(3,214)	89,614
Exchange rate related changes of cash and cash equivalents	(431)	3,568
Net changes to cash and cash equivalents	(69,799)	36,034
Cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the period	190,286	197,630
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period	120,056	237,232

Net cash used in operating activities of €66.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 is higher than net cash used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2022 (€54.9 million) mainly due to higher cash expenditure for research and development. Net cash used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2023 also includes changes in working capital totaling €13.9 million, primarily due to changes in other assets and prepaid expenses, trade and other payables as well as contract liabilities. Net cash used in operating activities for the remainder of 2023 is expected to decrease due to a continued reduction in operating expenses over the next several quarters due to the reorganization we conducted in April 2023, the completion of our work on the Genentech and Roivant collaborations, the completion or wind down of certain clinical activities such as AFM13-202, AFM13-104, AFM24-101 and AFM24-103, and the timing of certain manufacturing expenses for AFM13, which were weighted towards the first two quarters of 2023.

The investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily related to investment in acquisition of equipment, while the cash generated in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were largely from the sale of the Roivant shares. Net cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2023 (€3.2 million) resulted primarily from the payment of lease liabilities and the SVB loan, while the cash generated in the six months ended June 30, 2022 resulted primarily from the proceeds of a public equity offering.

Cash and Funding Sources

Our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023 were €120.1 million, compared with €190.3 million as of December 31, 2022. Funding sources generally comprise proceeds from the issuance of equity instruments, payments from collaboration agreements and loans.

Funding Requirements

We expect that we will require additional funding to complete the development of our product candidates and to continue to advance the development of our other product candidates. In addition, we expect that we will require additional capital to commercialize our product candidates, including AFM13, AFM24 and AFM28. If we receive regulatory approval for AFM13, AFM24, AFM28 or other earlier programs, and if we choose not to grant any licenses to partners, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, sales, marketing and distribution, depending on where we choose to commercialize. We also continue to incur substantial costs associated with operating as a public company. Additional funds may not be available on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all, and such funds, if raised, may not be sufficient to enable us to continue to implement our long-term business strategy. If we are not able to raise capital when needed, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development programs or commercialization efforts.

Based on our current operating and budget assumptions, we believe that our existing liquidity will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into 2025. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, and we could use our capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including but not limited to:

the scope, rate of progress, results and cost of our clinical trials, nonclinical testing, and other related activities;

the cost of manufacturing clinical supplies, and establishing commercial supplies, of our product candidates and any products that we may develop;

the number and characteristics of product candidates that we pursue;

the cost, timing, and outcomes of regulatory approvals;

the cost and timing of establishing sales, marketing, and distribution capabilities; and

the terms and timing of any collaboration, licensing, and other arrangements that we may establish, including any required milestone and royalty payments thereunder.

To address our financing needs, we may raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities. In such an event, the ownership interest of our shareholders will be diluted, and the terms of any such securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of holders of our common shares.

For more information as to the risks associated with our future funding needs, see “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

As of the date of this discussion and analysis, we do not have any, and during the periods presented we did not have any, off-balance sheet arrangements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, there were no significant changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk from those reported in “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Risk” in the Annual Report.

Critical Judgments and Accounting Estimates

There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies and estimates described in “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—A. Operating Results Overview—Critical Judgments and Accounting Estimates” in the Annual Report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We refer to note 2 of the notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 with regard to the impact of recent accounting pronouncements.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements

Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places in this discussion and analysis and include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectations. Many of the forward-looking statements contained in this discussion and analysis can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “expect,” “should,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate” and “potential,” among others. Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to of various factors, including, but not limited to, those identified under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report. These risks and uncertainties include factors relating to:

our operation as a development stage company with a history of operating losses; as of June 30, 2023, our accumulated deficit was €491.6 million;

the possibility that our clinical trials may be delayed or put on clinical hold, for example, due to slower than expected enrollment or regulatory actions, or not be successful and clinical results may not reflect results seen in previously conducted preclinical studies and clinical trials, or expectations based on these preclinical studies and clinical trials;

our reliance on contract manufacturers and contract research organizations over which we have limited control;

our lack of adequate funding to complete development of our product candidates and the risk we may be unable to access additional capital on reasonable terms or at all to complete development and begin commercialization of our product candidates;

our dependence on the success of AFM13, AFM24 and AFM28 (which are still in clinical development) and certain of our other product candidates, each of which may eventually prove to be unsuccessful or commercially not exploitable;

the success of the Affimed-Artiva partnership, including in relation to the fact that the current clinical data of AFM13 in combination with NK cell therapy is based on AFM13 precomplexed with fresh allogeneic cord blood-derived NK cells from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, as opposed to AB-101, which is a cryopreserved allogeneic cord blood-derived NK cell that we anticipate will be co-administered with AFM13;

uncertainty surrounding whether any of our product candidates will gain regulatory approval, which is necessary before they can be commercialized;

the outcome of any discussions we may enter regarding, acquisitions, dispositions, partnerships, license transactions or changes to our capital structure, including our receipt of any milestone payments or royalties or any future securities offerings;

the chance that we may become exposed to costly and damaging liability claims resulting from the testing of our product candidates in the clinic or in the commercial stage;

if our product candidates obtain regulatory approval, our being subject to expensive ongoing obligations and continued regulatory overview;

enacted and future legislation may increase the difficulty and cost for us to obtain marketing approval and commercialization;

future legislation may materially impact our ability to realize revenue from any approved and commercialized products;

the chance that our products may not gain market acceptance, in which case we may not be able to generate product revenues;

our reliance on our current strategic relationships with Roivant, Artiva, The MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Genentech and the potential failure to enter into new strategic relationships or difficulties with our strategic partners that may slow the progress of our joint developments or lead to the termination of a partnership and the need to enter into a new one, all of which could take substantial time and attention of our management team;

our reliance on third parties to conduct our nonclinical and clinical trials and on third-party, single-source suppliers to supply or produce our product candidates;

our ability to scale-up manufacturing processes of our product candidates and reduce the cost of manufacturing our product candidates in advance of any commercialization;

our future growth and ability to compete, which depends on retaining our key personnel and recruiting additional qualified personnel;

the length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business, including our supply chain, clinical trials and operations;

the impact on our business of macroeconomic trends, political events, war, terrorism, business interruptions and other geopolitical events and uncertainties, such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the instability in the banking sector experienced in the first quarter of 2023; and

other risk factors discussed under “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.

Our actual results or performance could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements relating to those matters. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what impact they will have on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Additionally, some of the risks and uncertainties identified above may be amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. There may be additional risks that we consider immaterial or which are unknown. Except as required by law, we are under no obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update, alter or otherwise revise any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

●

AFM28: Cleared second dose cohort without dose limiting toxicities in phase 1 dose escalation study in patients with CD123-positive relapsed/refractory (r/r) acute myeloid leukemia (AML); enrolling patients in third cohort.

●

Cash runway into 2025: As of June 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were €120.1 million.

Heidelberg, Germany, August 10, 2023 – Affimed N.V. (Nasdaq: AFMD) (“Affimed” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company committed to giving patients back their innate ability to fight cancer, today reported financial results and provided an update on clinical and corporate progress for the second quarter of 2023.

“Affimed continues to make important progress across all three of our clinical assets, setting the stage for a catalyst-rich next 12 months,” said Dr. Adi Hoess, CEO of Affimed. “This includes data in the first half of 2024 from the LuminICE-203 trial of AFM13 which builds upon our unprecedented proof of concept data. For AFM24, we plan to present data later this year from the combination with atezolizumab. Finally, we are rapidly advancing our phase 1 study for AFM28 towards what we believe could be therapeutic dose levels.”

Program Updates

AFM13 (CD30/CD16A)

●

Investigational new drug (IND) application cleared by FDA for LuminICE-203, a phase 2 clinical study to investigate AFM13 in combination with Artiva’s AB-101 natural killer (NK) cells. LuminICE-203 will investigate the combination therapy of AFM13 and AB-101 in patients with r/r classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). The study will also include a cohort of 20 r/r PTCL patients. Affimed is in the final stages of site

activation and expects to have the first sites open in September/October. The Company is on track to report initial data in the first half of 2024.

●

Type C meeting request submitted to FDA to further discuss the requirements for an accelerated approval based on the LuminICE-203 study. Affimed expects to gain further insight from the agency on the requirements for a registration application in the U.S. Based on FDA guidelines, Affimed expects the meeting to be held in the fourth quarter of 2023.

●

Preclinical data presented at the International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma showed that AFM13 binds homogeneously to thawed AB-101, guiding NK cells to CD30-positive tumor cells, and boosting AB-101's cytotoxic activity against these cells. This effect was accompanied by increased functional activation of AB-101, evidenced by degranulation and IFN-γ production. Furthermore, tumor growth control was achieved by combining AFM13 with AB-101 in a mouse xenograft model.

●

AFM13-203 (LuminICE-203) will build on data generated from the Company’s AFM13-104 study which demonstrated the promise of AFM13 in combination with cord blood-derived NK (cbNK) cells for the treatment of r/r HL and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients. Data from the study, presented at the American Society of Hematology 2022 annual meeting, demonstrated a 94% objective response rate (ORR) and a complete response rate (CR) rate of 71% in 35 heavily pre-treated CD30-positive HL and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients treated at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). 63% of patients (n=24) treated at the RP2D with at least 6 months of follow-up after the initial infusion remained in CR for at least 6 months. In addition, the treatment was well tolerated with no cases of cytokine release syndrome, immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity or graft versus host disease observed. A data update from the AFM13-104 study is expected at ASH in December, including a longer follow-up of patients.

AFM24 (EGFR/CD16A)

●

Presented clinical data from the ongoing AFM24 trials at the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Update from AFM24-101 phase 1/2 monotherapy study included 15 patients from the EGFR mutant NSCLC cohort showed AFM24 clinical activity in 7 out of 15 heavily pre-treated patients with tumor reductions, including 2 confirmed partial responses and 5 patients exhibiting stable disease. Based on the data, the Company decided to focus near-term development efforts on advancing AFM24 in combination with checkpoint inhibitors as part of its ongoing AFM24-102 study to further investigate the synergies between AFM24 and atezolizumab. As a result, enrollment in the monotherapy study and the combination of AFM24 with autologous NK cells will be terminated.

●

Enrollment ongoing for the Phase 1/2a combination study of AFM24 and atezolizumab, an anti-PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor, in patients with advanced EGFR-expressing solid tumors. Expansion cohorts for AFM24-102 initiated during the first

quarter 2023 and are actively enrolling patients with (1) EGFR-wildtype NSCLC (2) gastric /gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma and (3) a basket cohort evaluating pancreatic, hepatocellular, and biliary tract cancer. Based on the results from the monotherapy study, a fourth expansion cohort of patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC has been added to the AFM24-102 study and is open for recruitment. Interim data from the first three cohorts is expected in the fourth quarter 2023.

●

Phase 1/2a combination data from the AFM24 and SNK01, NKGen Biotech’s ex vivo expanded and activated autologous NK cell therapy was recently presented at ASCO Breakthrough. In the study, seven patients with a mean number of five prior therapies received the combination of AFM24 and SNK01. No unexpected or dose-limiting toxicities were observed, and the PK properties of AFM24 were similar to AFM24 monotherapy. The best objective response was stable disease in three out of the seven patients, including patients with heavily pretreated microsatellite stable colorectal cancer (MSS CRC). This data forms the basis for a potential combination of AFM24 with an allogeneic, off-the-shelf NK cell product.

AFM28 (CD123/CD16A)

●

AFM28-101, a multi-center Phase 1 open label, dose escalation study of AFM28 monotherapy is treating patients with CD123-positive r/r AML. The second dose cohort was completed without any dose limiting toxicities. Currently, patients are being treated in the third dose cohort. Clinical development of AFM28 is planned as both single-agent and in combination with an allogeneic off-the-shelf NK cell product.

Partnerships and Collaborations

●

Affimed has completed its work on novel molecules for both Genentech and Affivant. Further development of these product candidates is at the discretion of the respective companies.

Potential Upcoming Milestones:

●

Follow-up data from AFM13-104 expected at ASH in December 2023

●

Based on FDA guidelines, Type C meeting for LuminICE-203 is expected in the fourth quarter 2023

●

Data from Phase 1/2a AFM24+atezolizumab combination study planned in the fourth quarter 2023

●

Further progress updates from AFM28-101 dose escalation expected in the second half 2023

●

Initial data readout from the LuminICE-203 study expected in the first half 2024

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights

Affimed’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euros (€), the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

As of June 30, 2023 cash and cash equivalents totaled €120.1 million compared to €190.3 million on December 31, 2022. Based on our current operating plan and assumptions, we anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents will support operations into 2025.

Net cash used in operating activities for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was €33.3 million compared to €26.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Operating cash flow for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was adversely impacted by a change in working capital of €7.5 million, primarily due to €4.3 million for changes in trade and other payables and €2.7 million for changes in other assets and prepaid expenses. The change in trade and other payables was driven primarily by payment of manufacturing costs for AFM13 and AFM24 that were expensed in prior periods, while the change in other assets and prepaid expenses was driven by €3.1 million of prepayments associated with the AFM13 LuminICE-203 trial, partially offset by the reduction in the amount of certain insurance prepayments.

Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, was €1.4 million compared with €7.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Revenue in 2022 and 2023 predominantly relates to the Roivant and Genentech collaborations.

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, increased by 21.3% from €20.8 million in 2022 to €25.3 million in 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher expenses associated with the development of the AFM13 and AFM24 programs, a result of an increase in procurement of clinical trial material, increased clinical trial costs and manufacturing costs and, an increase in costs associated with other early-stage programs and infrastructure.

General and administrative expenses decreased 25.1% from €8.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2022, to €6.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was due to a decline in legal, consulting and insurance expenses, as well as share-based payment expenses.

Net finance income/costs for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 decreased from income of €2.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2022, to income of €0.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Net finance income/costs are largely due to foreign exchange gains/losses related to assets denominated in U.S. dollars as a result of currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and Euro during the year.

Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, was €29.4 million, or €0.20 loss per common share compared with a net loss of €19.4 million, or €0.13 loss per common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

The weighted number of common shares outstanding for the for quarter ended June 30, 2023 was 149.3 million.

Additional information regarding these results will be included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023, included in Affimed’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Note on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

Affimed prepares and reports consolidated financial statements and financial information in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. None of the financial statements were

prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Affimed maintains its books and records in Euro.
