Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of DBV Technologies S.A.

Paris, France

We have audited the accompanying statements of consolidated financial position of DBV Technologies S.A. and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of (loss), comprehensive (loss), shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DBV Technologies SA and subsidiary as of December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 22, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of DBV Technologies S.A.

Paris, France

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of DBV Technologies S.A. and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on that risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, of the Company and our report dated March 22, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: The Company

Incorporated in 2002 under the laws of France, DBV Technologies S.A. (“DBV Technologies,” or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on changing the field of immunotherapy, specifically in young children.

The Company historically marketed a ready-to-use diagnostic product to detect cow’s milk protein allergy (“CMPA”) in children called Diallertest® Milk, which was launched in France in 2004. This product was distributed in France only, by a commercial partner, under a temporary exception status from French regulatory authorities which, without such temporary exception, marketing of the product would not be allowed. During the second half of 2015, the Company discontinued its commercial partnership with respect to the product and ceased commercial sales of Diallertest Milk. The Company did not generate any revenue from sales of Diallertest Milk in 2016 and has discontinued any further commercialization of the product.

DBV Technologies is also developing a novel technology platform called Viaskin®. The Company’s therapeutic approach is based on epicutaneous immunotherapy, or EPIT, a proprietary method of delivering biologically active compounds to the immune system through intact skin using Viaskin.

Viaskin® Peanut is the first specific immunotherapy product developed by DBV Technologies. Solid preclinical data have already been published. Pharmacological development was achieved through a vast network of collaborative efforts in the United States and in Europe. A tolerance study (Phase Ib) conducted in the United States demonstrated the safety and high level of tolerance of Viaskin® Peanut in patients with peanut allergies, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) granted a Fast Track designation to the product. In France, the French Health Product Safety Agency (Agence française de sécurité sanitaire des produits de santé, AFSSAPS) authorized an efficacy study sponsored by the Paris Region Public Hospitals (Assistance Publique – Hôpitaux de Paris, AP/HP). In 2012, an efficacy study (Phase IIb) was launched in the United States and Europe. The topline results for the studies were published during the second 2014 semester. Peanut EPIT Efficacy and Safety Study (“PEPITE”), a Phase III clinical study, began during the last 2015 quarter and the Company has reached its patient recruitment objective for the clinical study at the end of the first half 2016. In August 2016, the Company launched the REAL Life Use and Safety of EPIT (“REALISE”) study, which is designed to evaluate the use and safety of Viaskin Peanut 250 µg in routine clinical practice in approximately 335 peanut allergic patients four to 11 years of age. Results from both PEPITES and REALISE are expected during the second half of 2017.

Viaskin® Milk is the second product developed in specific immunotherapy for the treatment of CMPA in children two to 17 years of age, and received fast track designation from the FDA in September 2016. In 2014, a clinical efficacy study using Viaskin® Milk was launched. In June 2015, the Company completed Part A of the Viaskin® Milk Efficacy and Safety Phase I/II study. No safety concern was observed during Part A of the study and the Company has begun enrolling cow’s milk-allergic subjects in the Part B (Phase II) of the study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of three doses of Viaskin® Milk in children ages 2-17.

In November 2015, in partnership with the Company, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia initiated an investigator-sponsored multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial to study safety and efficacy of Viaskin Milk in pediatric patient populations with milk-induced Eosinophilic Esophagitis (“EoE”).

The Company is also developing a third product candidate, Viaskin Egg, for the treatment of hen’s egg allergy. In the first half of 2015, the Company began pre-clinical work for this product candidate with the goal of initiating a clinical program if these studies are successful.

Main events in 2016

1. PARTNERSHIPS

In May 2016, the Company announced that it has entered into an exclusive global collaboration with Nestlé Health Science for the development and, if approved, commercialization of MAG1C, an innovative, ready-to-use and standardized atopy patch test for the diagnosis of CMPA in infants and toddlers.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will be eligible to receive up to €100 million in development, clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones, including an upfront payment of €10 million. The Company will be responsible for performing development activities up through a pivotal Phase III clinical program, following which Nestlé Health Science has the exclusive right to commercialize the product globally, if approved. As of December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a deferred revenue balance with respect to payments received under its collaboration with Nestlé Health Science, which the Company will recognize over the service obligation period. Deferred revenue is included in other current and non-current liabilities, as applicable.

On September 6, 2016, the Company, BioNet-Asia Co. Ltd. and the Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) announced that the first subject was enrolled in a proof-of-concept Phase I clinical trial testing Viaskin rPT in the reactivation of immunity against Bordetella pertussis (whooping cough) in healthy adults. This pertussis vaccination program intends to test the ability of the Company’s needleless and adjuvant-free patch technology, Viaskin, to epicutaneously deliver two doses of BioNet’s genetically detoxified, recombinant pertussis toxin (rPT) to boost immunity against whooping cough.

On November 17, 2016, the Company, BioNet-Asia and Geneva University Hospitals announced the completion of the dosing in the first cohort of the Phase I trial of Viaskin rPT for booster vaccination against Bordetella pertussis. The independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board expressed no safety concerns with Viaskin rPT 25 µg in the first subject cohort. Based on this review, dosing with Viaskin rPT 50 µg has been initiated in the second subject cohort.

2. CLINICAL PROGRAMS

On June 27, 2016, the Company announced completion of recruitment in its global Phase III study of Viaskin Peanut for the treatment of peanut allergic children. Recruitment in PEPITES exceeded initial expectations, with a total of 500 patients screened. As a result, the Company increased its initial randomization target of 330 patients to at least 350 patients. Viaskin Peanut is the Company’s lead product candidate, which is based on epicutaneous immunotherapy (“EPIT”), a proprietary technology platform that can deliver biologically active compounds to the immune system through the skin.

On August 1, 2016, the Company announced the expansion of a clinical program of Viaskin Peanut for the treatment of peanut allergy. REALISE is a Phase III trial designed to assess the use and safety of Viaskin Peanut 250 µg in routine clinical practice and is expected to enroll approximately 335 peanut allergic patients four to 11 years of age. Results from both PEPITES and REALISE are expected during the second half of 2017.

On September 21, 2016, the Company announced that the FDA granted Fast Track designation for Viaskin Milk, the Company’s investigational treatment for pediatric patients two years of age and older with Immunoglobulin E (“IgE”)-mediated CMPA, currently under clinical investigation in a Phase IIb trial. There are currently no approved treatments for CMPA, the most common food allergy in infants and young children. Fast Track is a process designed by the FDA to facilitate the development, expedite the review of drugs to treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need.

On October 24, 2016, the Company announced topline results from the two-year OLFUS-VIPES study supporting the durable effect and favorable safety profile of Viaskin Peanut for the treatment of peanut-allergic children.

On October 26, 2016, the Company announced the publication of positive Viaskin Peanut data from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease-sponsored Phase II academic study in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

3. CHANGE IN THE GROUP’S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP AND BOARD MEMBERS

The Company announced the appointment of Lucia Septién, M.D., as Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Septién will provide strategic input and oversight into the Company’s clinical development programs and medical affairs. In partnership with Dr. Hugh Sampson and Laurent Martin, the Company’s Chief Scientific Officer and Chief Development Officer, respectively, Dr. Septién will be instrumental in the advancement of the Company’s lead product candidate, Viaskin Peanut, through its Phase III trial to appropriate regulatory submissions. Dr Septién will also have a key role in accelerating the development of other Viaskin product candidates in and beyond food allergies. Dr. Septién is a new member of the executive committee of the Company.

On June 21, 2016, the Company announced the appointments of Claire Giraut and Maïlys Ferrere to its Board of Directors, effective immediately pursuant to their election at the Company’s ordinary shareholders’ general meeting. Claire Giraut will serve on the Board’s Audit Committee. With these additions, the Company’s Board is now comprised of seven directors.

Note 3: Accounting Principles

Methods of consolidation

The Financial Statements incorporate the standalone financial statements of DBV Technologies S.A and US subsidiary which is controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Company:

 

    has power over the subsidiary;

 

    is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary; and

 

    has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Company reassesses whether or not it controls a subsidiary if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

Consolidation of subsidiaries begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control over the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non- controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to align their accounting policies with the Group’s accounting policies.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are neutralized in consolidation.

Translation of financial statements in foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.

For the purpose of presenting these consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into euros using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.

Table of Contents

3.1 Intangible Assets

In application of the provisions in IAS 38 Intangible Assets (“IAS 38”), intangible assets acquired are recorded as assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at their acquisition cost.

Research and Development Expenses

Research expenses are recorded in the Financial Statements as expenses.

In accordance with IAS 38, development expenses are recorded in the Financial Statements as intangible assets only if all the following criteria are met:

 

  (a) technical feasibility necessary for the completion of the development project;

 

  (b) intention on the part of the Company to complete the project and to utilize it;

 

  (c) capacity to utilize the intangible asset;

 

  (d) proof of the probability of future economic benefits associated with the asset;

 

  (e) availability of the technical, financial, and other resources for completing the project; and

 

  (f) reliable evaluation of the development expenses.

Because of the risks and uncertainties related to regulatory authorizations and to the research and development process, the Company believes that the six criteria stipulated by IAS 38 are only fulfilled once the Market Access Authorization has been obtained from the competent authorities.

The application of this principle has resulted in all development costs being expensed as incurred.

Software

The costs related to the acquisition of licenses to software are posted to assets on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and to implement the software in question.

They are amortized using the straight-line method over a period of one to three years depending on the anticipated period of use.

3.2 Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at their acquisition cost or, if applicable, at their production cost.

Property, plant, and equipment are depreciated on the basis of the straight-line method over the estimated use period of the property. The fixtures of property rented are depreciated over the term of their own lifetime or of the term of the rental agreement, whichever is shorter.

The depreciation periods used are the following:

 

PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT ITEM

   DEPRECIATION PERIOD  

Fixtures and improvements in structures

     9 years  

Research and development / production tools

     5 years  

Research equipment and technical facilities

     5 years  

Computer equipment

     3 years  

Office equipment and furniture

     5 years  

3.3 Financial Assets

In accordance with IAS 39 (Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement) and IAS 32 (Financial Instruments: Presentation), the Company has adopted the following classification for non-derivative financial assets, based on the type of asset and on management intention at the date of initial recognition. The designation and classification of such financial assets are subsequently reassessed at the end of each reporting period.

Non-derivative financial assets are recognized on the date when the Company becomes party to the contractual terms of the asset. On initial recognition, financial assets are measured at fair value, plus direct transaction costs in the case of financial assets not classified as fair value through profit or loss.

 

F-13


Table of Contents

Classification, presentation and subsequent measurement of non-derivative financial assets are as follows:

Assets Owned Until Their Maturity

These securities are exclusively fixed income or determinable income and have fixed maturities, other than loans and accounts receivable, that the Company has the intention and the ability to keep until maturity. After their initial posting at their fair value, they are valued and posted to the accounts at the cost amortized on the basis of the effective interest rate (“EIR”) method.

The assets owned until their maturity are monitored for any objective indication of impairment. A financial asset is impaired if its book value is greater than its recoverable amount as estimated during impairment tests. The impairment is recorded to the income statement.

Loans and Receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are presented in current assets with loans with a maturity of less than 12 months are presented within “other current assets” and with trade receivables presented within “accounts receivable.” Loans with a maturity of more than 12 months are presented as “long- term loans and advances” within “other non-current assets.” Those financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

The loans and receivables are monitored for any objective indication of impairment. A financial asset is impaired if its book value is greater than its recoverable amount as estimated during impairment tests. The impairment is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss).

The loans and receivables also include the deposits and guarantees, which are classified under “Non-current financial assets” in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Assets at Fair Value Per the Consolidated Statements of (Loss)

These assets are classified on the balance sheet in the following line items: Other non-current assets, Current financial assets and Cash and cash equivalents.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss comprise assets held for trading (financial assets acquired principally for the purpose of reselling them in the near term, usually within less than 12 months), and financial instruments designated as fair value through profit and loss on initial recognition in accordance with the conditions for application of the fair value option.

Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on financial assets in currencies other than the euro are recognized in the income statement in Financial income or Financial expenses.

Assets Available for Sale

The assets available for sale include, primarily, securities that do not meet the criteria of the definition of the other categories of financial assets. They are measured at their fair value, and the changes in value are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity.

The fair value corresponds to the market price for those securities that are listed on the stock exchange or to an estimate of the use value for unlisted securities, determined on the basis of the financial criteria most appropriate for the specific situation of each security. When there is an objective indication of the impairment of these securities, the accumulated impairment that has been recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity is recognized in the Consolidated Statement (Loss).

3.4 Recoverable Amount of the Intangible Assets and Property, Plant, and Equipment

The property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets that have an established lifetime are subjected to an impairment test when the recoverability of their book value is called into question by the existence of indications of impairment. An impairment is posted to the accounts up to the amount of the excess of the book value over the recoverable value of the asset. The recoverable value of an asset corresponds to its fair value minus the costs of sale or its use value, whichever is higher.

 

F-14


Table of Contents

3.5 Inventories and Work in Progress

Inventories are recorded at their cost or at their net liquidation value, if the latter is lower. In the latter case, the impairment is posted to income or loss. The inventories are valued on the basis of the “first-in, first-out” (“FIFO”) method.

3.6 Share Capital

Common shares are classified under Shareholders’ Equity. The costs of share capital transactions that are directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are recorded in the Financial Statements in Shareholders’ Equity as a deduction from the revenue from the issue, net of tax.

3.7 Payments in Shares

Since its incorporation, the Company has established several plans for compensation paid in equity instruments in the form of employee warrants (bons de souscription de parts de créateur d’entreprise orBSPCEs”) granted to employees and/or executives and in the form of “share warrants” (bons de souscription d’actions or “BSAs”) granted to non-employee members of the Board of Directors and scientific consultants.

Pursuant to IFRS 2 Share-based payment (“IFRS 2”), the cost of the transactions paid with equity instruments is posted to the accounts as an expense in exchange for an increase in the Shareholders’ Equity for the period during which the rights to be benefited from the equity instruments are acquired.

The Company has applied IFRS 2 to all equity instruments granted since 2002 to its employees, members of the Board of Directors, other individuals, or to companies.

The options are not subject to any market conditions. The characteristics of the options are presented in Note 17.

3.8 Recognition and measurement of Financial Liabilities

Financial Liabilities at Amortized Cost

Borrowings and other financial liabilities are valued initially at their fair value and then at the amortized cost, calculated on the basis of the effective interest rate (“EIR”) method.

The transaction expenses that are directly attributable to the acquisition or to the issue of a financial liability reduce that financial liability. These expenses are then amortized over the lifetime of the liability, on the basis of the EIR.

The EIR is the rate that equalizes the anticipated flow of future cash outflows with the current net book value of the financial liability in order to deduct its amortized cost therefrom.

Liabilities at Fair Value per the Consolidated Statements of (Loss)

The liabilities at fair value per the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) are valued at their fair value.

3.9 Subsidies and Conditional Advances

Subsidies

The Company receives assistance in the form of subsidies, which are grants that are not repayable by the Company. The subsidies are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that:

 

    the Company will comply with the conditions attached to the subsidies, and

 

    the subsidies will be received.

Subsidies that are upfront non-refundable payments are presented as deferred revenue and recognized ratably through income over the duration of the research program to which the subsidy relates.

A public subsidy that is to be received (e.g. from OSEO, the French Agency for Innovation) either as compensation for expenses or for losses already incurred, or for immediate financial support of the Company without associated expenses or losses, is recognized as other income ratably over the duration of the funded project.

Conditional advances

The Company also receives from time to time assistance in the form of conditional advances, which are advances repayable in whole or in part based upon acknowledgment by the funder of a technical or commercial success of the related project by the funding entity. The details concerning the conditional advances are provided in Note 11.

 

F-15


Table of Contents

The amount resulting from the deemed benefit of the interest-free nature of the award is considered a subsidy for accounting purposes. This deemed benefit is determined by applying a discount rate equal to the rate of fungible treasury bonds over the time period that corresponds to the time period of the repayment of the advances.

In the event of a change in payment schedule of the stipulated repayments of the conditional advances, the Company makes a new calculation of the net book value of the debt resulting from the discounting of the expected new future cash flows. The adjustment that results therefrom is recognized in the income statement for the fiscal year during which the modification is recognized.

The conditional advances that can be subject to this type of modification are the with Compagnie Française d’Assurance pour le Commerce Extérieur (“COFACE”) advances presented in Note 11.

3.10 Provisions

Provisions for Risks and Expenses

The provisions for risks and lawsuits correspond to the commitments resulting from lawsuits and various risks whose due dates and amounts are uncertain.

A provision is posted to the accounts when the Company has a legal or implicit obligation to a third party resulting from a past event, concerning which it is likely or certain that it will cause an outflow of resources to that third party, without consideration that is anticipated to be at least equivalent to the latter, and that the future outflows of liquid assets can be estimated reliably.

The amount recorded in the accounts as a provision is the best estimation of the expenses necessary to extinguish the obligation.

Pension Retirement Obligations

The employees of the Company receive the retirement benefits stipulated by law in France:

 

    obtaining a compensation paid by the Company to employees upon their retirement (defined-benefit plan);

 

    payment of retirement pensions by the Social Security agencies, which are financed by the contributions made by companies and employees (defined-contribution plans).

For the defined-benefit plans, the costs of the retirement benefits are estimated by using the projected credit unit method. According to this method, the cost of the retirement pensions is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of (Loss) so that it is distributed uniformly over the term of the services of the employees. The retirement benefit commitments are valued at the current value of the future payments estimated using, for the discounting, the market rate based on the long-term obligations of the first-category companies with a term that corresponds to that estimated for the payment of the services provided.

The Company relies on external actuaries to conduct an annual review of the valuation of these plans.

The difference between the amount of the provision at the beginning of a fiscal year and at the close of that year is recognized through profit or loss for the portion representing the costs of services rendered and through other comprehensive income for the portion representing the actual gains and losses.

The Company’s payments for the defined-contribution plans are recognized as expenses on the income statement of the period with which they are associated.

3.11 Revenue

The revenue of the Company resulted in previous years mainly from the sale of the product Diallertest, a kit for diagnosing the allergy to proteins in cow’s milk. During the second half of 2015, the Company discontinued its commercial partnership with respect to the product and ceased selling Diallertest Milk.

The Company recognizes revenue when the amount can be measured reliably, when it is likely that the future economic advantages will benefit the Company, and when the specific criteria are met for the business activity of the Company. For product sales, the sales revenue is recognized upon delivery.

3.12 Other Income

Subsidies

Since it was formed, because of its innovative character, the Company has received a certain number of sources of assistance or subsidies from the central government or from local public authorities such as OSEO or the Banque Publique d’Investissement, intended to finance its operations or the recruitment of specific personnel.

When the grant of the subsidy is reasonably certain, these subsidies are recognized as “Other income” during the calendar year over which the corresponding expenses or expenditures were recorded.

Research Tax Credit

The Research Tax Credit (Crédit d’Impôt Recherche, CIR) is granted to companies by the French tax authorities in order to encourage them to conduct technical and scientific research. Companies that prove that they have expenditures that meet the required criteria (research expenditures located in France or, since January 1, 2005, within the European Community or in another State that is a party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area that has concluded a tax treaty with France that contains an administrative assistance clause) receive a tax credit that can be used for the payment of the corporate tax due for the fiscal year in which the expenditures were made and the next three fiscal years, or, as applicable, can be reimbursed for the excess portion. The expenditures taken into account for the calculation of the research tax credit involve only research expenses.

The Company has received the Research Tax Credit annually since it was formed.

The Company received the reimbursement of the 2013 Research Tax Credit for an amount of €3.3 million during the year 2014. The Company received the reimbursement of the 2014 Research Tax Credit for an amount of €4.3 million during the year 2015.

The Company received the reimbursement of the 2015 Research Tax Credit for an amount of €5.7 million during the year 2016.

The Company will request the reimbursement of the 2016 Research Tax Credit for an amount of €7.2 million during the year 2017, under the community tax rules for small and medium firms in compliance with the regulatory texts applicable.

Collaboration agreement with Nestlé Health Science

On May 31, 2016, the Company announced its entry into an exclusive global collaboration with Nestlé Health Science to develop MAG1C, a ready-to-use and standardized atopy patch test tool for the diagnosis of cow’s milk protein allergy in infants and toddlers. Under the terms of the exclusive collaboration, the Company is responsible for leading the development activities of MAG1C up through a pivotal Phase III clinical program, and if the appropriate regulatory approvals are received, Nestlé Health Science will support the commercialization of MAG1C globally. The Company is eligible to receive up to €100.0 million in potential development, clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones, inclusive of a non-refundable upfront payment of €10.0 million, received in July 2016.

In accordance with International Accounting Standard 18, upfront payments and milestones received under the Company’s collaboration agreement are deferred and recognized over the service period obligation. Upon entry into the collaboration agreement, the Company’s management estimated the expected service period obligation, as well as the cost involved in the project. Upfront payments and milestones are recognized on a straight line basis or, if the associated costs can be reliably estimated, based on the cost incurred under the project. Periodically, the Company reassesses the estimated time and cost to complete the project and adjusts the time period over which the revenue is deferred accordingly. If the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognized only to the extent of costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 11.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a deferred revenue balance with respect to payments received under its collaboration with Nestlé Health Science, which the Company will recognize over the service obligation period. Deferred revenue is included in other current and non-current liabilities, as applicable.

3.13 Rental Agreements

The rental agreements involving property, plant, and equipment are classified as finance lease agreements when the Company bears a substantial portion of all the benefits and risks inherent in the ownership of the property. The assets that are covered under financing lease agreements are capitalized as of the beginning date of the rental agreement on the basis of the fair value of the rented asset or the discounted values of the future minimum payments, whichever is lower. Each rental payment is distributed between the debt and the financial cost in such a manner as to determine a constant interest rate on the principal that remains due. The corresponding rental obligations, net of the financial expenses, are classified as financial liabilities. The portion of the financial expense that corresponds to the interest is recognized as an expense over the term of the agreement. The property, plant, or equipment acquired within the framework of a finance lease agreement is amortized over the use period or the term of the lease agreement, whichever is shorter.

The rental agreements for which a significant portion of the risks and advantages is preserved by the lessor are classified as ordinary rental agreements. The payments made for these ordinary rental agreements, net of any incentive measures, are recognized as expenses on the income statement in a linear manner over the term of the agreement.

3.14 Taxes

Income Tax

Deferred taxes are recognized for all the temporary differences arising from the difference between the tax basis and the accounting basis of the assets and liabilities that appear in the financial statements. The primary temporary differences are related to the tax losses that can be carried forward or backward. The tax rates that have been ratified by a legal text as of the closing date are utilized to determine the deferred taxes.

 

F-17


Table of Contents

The deferred tax assets are recorded in the accounts only to the extent that it is likely that the future profits will be sufficient to absorb the losses that can be carried forward or backward. Considering its stage of development, which does not allow income projections judged to be sufficiently reliable to be made, the Company has not recognized deferred tax assets in relation to tax losses carryforward in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

3.15 Segment Information

The Company operates in a single operating segment: the conducting of research and development of epicutaneous immunotherapy products in order to market them in the future. The assets, liabilities, and operating losses recognized are primarily located in France.

3.16 Other Items in the Comprehensive (or Loss)

The revenue and expense items for the period that are not posted in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) as stipulated by the applicable standards are presented, as necessary, under the rubric “Other items in the comprehensive (or loss).”

3.17 Use of Estimates

The preparation of our Financial Statements requires the management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions are measured on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

These estimates and judgments mainly involve:

 

    a valuation of the fair value of the employee warrants (BSPCEs) granted to employees and/or executives and share warrants (BSAs) granted to non-employee members of the Board of Directors and scientific consultants and to service providers, performed on the basis of actuarial models; these models require the use by the Company of certain calculation assumptions such as the expected volatility of the security;

 

    an estimate of the Research Tax Credit based on internal and external expenses incurred by the Company during the year. Only eligible research expenses are included in the calculation of the research tax credit; and

 

    an estimate of the repayments of the conditional advances obtained by Company from public institutions. The anticipated repayments of the conditional advances are analyzed at each reporting period.

3.18 Presentation of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

In accordance with the amendments to IFRS 7, financial instruments are presented in three categories based on a hierarchical method used to determine their fair value:

 

    level 1: fair value calculated using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets and liabilities;

 

    level 2: fair value calculated using valuation techniques based on observable market data such as prices of similar assets and liabilities or parameters quoted in an active market;

 

    level 3: fair value calculated using valuation techniques based wholly or partly on unobservable inputs such as prices in an inactive market or a valuation based on multiples for unlisted securities.

3.19 Subsequent events

The Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) of the Company are adjusted to reflect the subsequent events that alter the amounts related to the situations that exist as of the closing date. The adjustments are made until the date the financial statements are approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors.

The other tax debt claims are primarily related to the deductible VAT as well as the reimbursement of VAT that has been requested.

As of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, prepaid expenses are comprised primarily of rental and insurance expenses, upfront payments deferred over clinical studies period, as well as scientific fees. Their variation is linked to an increase in insurance premiums following the Company’s U.S. public offering on Nasdaq in 2014 and the July 2015 follow-on fundraising, as well as an increase in upfront payments which are recognized over the term of the ongoing clinical studies.

Research Tax Credit

The Company benefits from the provisions in Articles 244 quater B and 49 septies F of the French Tax Code related to the Research Tax Credit. In compliance with the principles described in Note 3.13, the Research Tax Credit is posted to the accounts as “Other Income” during the year with which the eligible research expenditures are associated.

The changes in this Research Tax Credit over the last three years are presented as follows:

The adjustments to the amount of the receivable in 2015 reflect the penalties related to the tax inspection of the 2014 Research Tax Credit that occurred in 2015.

Following a tax inspection led by the French tax authorities on fiscal years 2012, 2013 and 2014, the Company received on July 4, 2016 a proposition of adjustments primarily affecting the Research Tax credit. The proposed adjustment amounts to €0,9 million.

The Company, advised by its counsels, has sent a response to dispute the proposed reassessment. No provision has been recorded in the consolidated financial statement as of December 31, 2016.

Note 11: Financial and Other Non-Current Liabilities

11.1 Conditional Advances

The conditional advances from public institutions are subject to contracts with OSEO and COFACE.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had two advance contracts with OSEO Innovation, and a contract with COFACE. These advances do not bear interest and are 100% repayable at their nominal value in the event of technical and/or commercial success. The 3rd OSEO advance and the COFACE advance do not bear interest.

The agreement with COFACE terminated on December 31, 2016, generating an exceptional income of €146 thousand corresponding to allowances which could not be reimbursed along with Company takings, and which therefore remain acquitted to the Company.

The Company also benefited from a third grant from BpiFrance Financement in November 2014.

The portion of the conditional advances for terms longer than one year is classified as non-current liabilities, while the portion for terms of less than one year is classified as current liabilities.

The table below presents the details of the debts recorded on the statement of financial position by the type of conditional advance:

COFACE Advance

On September 6, 2007, DBV Technologies signed a prospecting insurance contract with Compagnie Française d’Assurance pour le Commerce Extérieur (“COFACE”) in order to promote its Diallertest product internationally. Under the terms of that contract, the Company received conditional advances of up to €147 thousands.

Obligations Under the Terms of Other Agreements

The Company signed with its bank CIC an acquisition contract of monetary market fund “SICAV CM-CIC” pledged as a guarantee for the ordinary rental agreements of the premises of Bagneux for an amount of €0.4 million.

The Company also signed a letter of credit to ensure the sub-lease of its premises of its New York subsidiary company for $164 thousand due on March 17, 2016. This credit note has been extended for an additional year.

A letter of credit has also been signed by the Company in April 2016 for $143 thousands to ensure the lease of its premises of its Summit (NJ) subsidiary.

In addition, the Company took a term deposit for a sum of €227 thousand over 3 years.

As it has sub-contracted several important functions, the Company has been required to conclude, within the framework of its current operations, sub-contracting contracts or short- or medium-term delegation contracts with various third parties, in France and abroad, which include various obligations that are usual in these circumstances.

Within the context of launching its clinical studies for Viaskin Peanuts and Viaskin Milk products, the Company signed agreements with several contract research organizations (CRO).

The ongoing studies amount globally to €77.8 million.

As of December 31, 2016, the amount remaining to pay as part of these contracts until year ended 2021 is €54.1 million.

On January 7, 2009, the Company entered into an assignment, development and co-ownership agreement with Public Welfare-Hospitals of Paris (L’Assistance Publique—Hopitaux de Paris), or AP-HP, and Université Paris-Descartes, or UPD, by which the Company agreed to terms of co- ownership with AP-HP and UPD of certain U.S. and foreign patents and patent applications, referred to herein as the shared patents. The Company, and any licensees or sublicensees the Company designates, have the exclusive right to commercial uses of the shared patents. AP-HP and UPD agreed to use the shared patents only for internal research purposes and not to license the shared patents to any third party. Upon commercialization of any product covered by the shared patents, which the Company expects would include its Viaskin product candidates, the Company will be obligated to pay AP-HP and UPD a percentage of net sales as a royalty. This royalty varies depending on the particular patent used in the product and is in the low single digits. Additionally, if the Company licenses any of the shared patents to a third party and a licensee commercializes products covered by such shared patents, the Company will be obligated to pay AP-HP and UPD a percentage in the low single digits of the money it receives from its licensee. If the Company does not sell any of its product candidates covered by the shared patents within 30 months from the date it first markets such product candidates, AP-HP may, upon six months’ notice and subject to certain exceptions, convert its exclusive right to the commercial use of the shared patents to a non-exclusive right. Any party may terminate the license in the event of another party’s substantial breach which remains uncured after six months of receiving written notice of such breach. The agreement will also terminate in the event the Company ceases operations or is subject to a dissolution or bankruptcy proceedings. Absent early termination, the agreement will automatically terminate upon the expiration of the last shared patent. In the event the agreement is terminated, the Company would no longer have the exclusive right to commercial use of the shared patents, though it would retain its shared ownership rights. In addition, its ownership stake in certain jointly made improvements covered by the shared patents would survive termination of the agreement. The longest lived patent rights licensed to the Company under the agreement are currently expected to expire in 2028. To date, this agreement has not had an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 22: Earnings Per Share

Taking into account the division of the nominal value of shares of the Company by 15, which was decided by the annual general meeting on December 9, 2011 the amount of shares is adjusted, and multiplying it by 15, for all the outstanding shares presented. The basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income going to the shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the course of the fiscal year. The weighted average number of shares was 16,086,247 in 2014. The weighted average number of shares was 21,522,342 in 2015. The weighted average number of shares was 24,454,850 in 2016.

The instruments that entitle their holders to a portion of the share capital on a deferred basis (BSAs, BSPCEs) are considered to be anti-dilutive (1,437,684 instruments in 2014, 2,033,768 instruments in 2015 and 2,360,945 instruments in 2016, corresponding respectively to 2,207,530, 2,336,224 and 2,606,435 ordinary shares to be issued). These instruments are presented in detail in Note 17. Therefore, the diluted earnings per share are identical to the basic earnings per share.

Note 23: Management of Financial Risks

The principal financial instruments of the Company are comprised of financial assets, cash, and investment securities. The purpose of managing these instruments is to allow the business activities of the Company to be financed. It is not the Company’s policy to subscribe to financial instruments for speculative purposes. The Company does not utilize derivatives.

The principal risks to which the Company is exposed are liquidity risk, interest rate risk and credit risk.

 

F-59

Liquidity Risk

The Company could need to strengthen its shareholders’ equity or rely on additional financing in order to ensure its development.

Since it was formed, the Company has financed its growth by reinforcing its shareholders’ equity through a succession of increases in the share capital, obtaining public assistance in support of innovation, and reimbursements of Research Tax Credit claims, but has never utilized bank loans. Therefore, the Company is not exposed to a liquidity risk resulting from the implementation of any early repayment clauses in loan agreements for such borrowings.

As of this date, the Company does not believe that it is exposed to a short-term liquidity risk, considering the cash and cash equivalents that the Company has available as of December 31, 2016 is €256 million, which is mainly composed of cash and term deposits that are convertible into cash immediately without penalties in case of a need for cash.

Significant research and development efforts and expenditures related to clinical studies have been initiated since the start-up of the Company’s business, which has thus far generated negative operating cash flows.

The Company will continue to have significant financing requirements in the future for the development of its technology, the continuation of its clinical development program, and the equipment for its own pharmaceutical laboratory, as well as for the production and marketing of its products in the future. It is possible that the company will find itself unable to self-finance its growth, which would compel it to seek other sources of financing, particularly through new increases in share capital.

The level of the financing requirements of the Company and how they are phased out over time depend on factors that are largely beyond the control of the Company such as:

 

    higher costs and slower progress than anticipated for its research and development and clinical studies programs;

 

    the costs of preparing, filing, defending, and maintaining its patents and other intellectual property rights;

 

    higher costs and longer time periods than anticipated for obtaining the regulatory authorizations for the marketing of its products as well as for gaining access to insurance reimbursement for them, including the time required to prepare the applications to the competent authorities;

 

    costs for responding to changes in the Viaskin® technology and for conducting the manufacturing and marketing on some or all of its products; and

 

    new opportunities to develop new products or to acquire technologies, products, or companies.

It is possible that the Company will be unable to obtain additional capital when it needs it, or that such capital may not be available on financial terms that are acceptable to the Company. If the necessary funds are not available, the Company could have to:

 

    delay, reduce, or eliminate the number or the scope of its pre-clinical and clinical trials;

 

    grant licenses to its technologies to partners or third parties; or

 

    conclude new collaboration agreements on terms less favorable to it than those that it could have obtained in a different context.

In addition, to the extent that the Company raises capital by issuing new shares, the investment of its shareholders could be diluted. Furthermore, financing by debt, to the extent that it is available, could also include restrictive conditions for the Company and its shareholders.

The occurrence of one or more of these risks could have a material adverse effect on the Company, its business, its financial position, its earnings, its development, and its prospects.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s exposure to interest-rate risk primarily involves investment securities. These are composed of money market funds and time deposit accounts. Changes in interest rates have a direct impact on the rate of return on these investments and the cash flows generated.

The Company has no variable rate debt. The repayment flows of its debts are not subject to interest rate risk.

The repayment of the conditional advances may vary depending on whether or not objectives are attained. The change in the flows of the anticipated repayments is treated in the income statement (Note 3.10).

 

F-60


Table of Contents

As of this date, the Company has not contracted borrowings from credit institutions and, therefore, has only very low exposure to interest rate risk.

Credit Risk

The credit risk related to the cash, the cash equivalents, and the current financial instruments is not significant in light of the quality of the co-contracting financial institutions.

Fair Value

The fair value of financial instruments traded on an active market, such as the securities available for sale, is based on the market rate as of the closing date. The market prices used for the financial assets owned by the Company are the bid prices in effect on the market as of the valuation date.

The nominal value, less the provisions for depreciation, of the accounts receivable and current debts, is presumed to approximate the fair value of those items.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company is exposed to a very insignificant foreign exchange risk inherent in some of its supplies obtained in the United States, which have been invoiced in US dollars. As of this date, the company does not make sales revenue in dollars or in any other currency other than the euro; the Company does not receive any full or partial mechanical endorsement. The exposure to currencies other than the U.S. dollar is negligible.

For 2014, 2015 and 2016, less than 12%, respectively, of our purchases and other external expenses have been made in U.S. dollars, generating a negligible net annual foreign exchange loss of €24 thousands in 2014 and net foreign exchange gain of €79 thousands in 2015 and €682 thousands in 2016.

In light of these insignificant amounts, the Company has not adopted, at this stage, a hedging mechanism in order to protect its business activity against fluctuations in exchange rates. The Company cannot rule out the possibility that a significant increase in its business, particularly in the United States, may result in greater exposure to exchange rate risk and should thus consider adopting an appropriate policy for hedging against these risks.

Note 24: Events After the Close of the Fiscal Year

The Company evaluated subsequent events that occurred after December 31, 2016 through the date of the Board of Directors which authorized the issuance of the Consolidated Financial Statements and determined that there are no significant events that require adjustments or disclosure in such Consolidated Financial Statements.
