Eden Research plc ("Eden" or "the Company")
Half Yearly Report
Eden Research plc (AIM: EDEN) , the AIM-quoted company focused
on sustainable biopesticides and plastic-free encapsulation
technology for use in crop protection, animal health and consumer
products industries , announces its interim results for the six
months ended 30 June 2020.
Financial highlights
-- Revenue for the period of GBP0.75m (H1 2019: GBP0.58m)
-- Product sales GBP0.73m (H1 2019: GBP0.45m)
-- Upfront and milestone payments of GBP0.02m (H1 2019: GBP0.13m)
-- Operating loss for the period increased to GBP1.01m (H1 2019: loss of GBP0.63m)
-- Cash and cash equivalents of GBP8.66m (H1 2019: GBP1.36m)
Business & Operational highlights
-- Successful fundraise of GBP10.4m gross in March 2020 adding a
number of new institutional investors.
-- One year exclusive Evaluation Agreement signed with Corteva
(NYSE: CTVA), the fourth largest agriculture input company in the
world in seed treatments.
-- Organic approval received for Mevalone in Italy and Spain.
-- Appointment of Mike Carroll as Director of Regulatory Affairs
and Aoife Dillon as Global Head of Biology and Development.
Lykele van der Broek, Chairman, commented:
"As a result of our successful fundraise in March we have begun
work expanding into new product categories, with a focus on new
insecticide formulations and seed treatments. Throughout the period
we have made several commitments to further our ambitions in these
areas.
In particular, our exclusive one-year evaluation agreement with
Corteva Agrisciences represents the first use of Eden's products
and technology in the treatment of seeds and is an initial step
into this area across a range of functional uses and seed
types.
We have entered into new markets with our three EU-registered
active ingredients (geraniol, eugenol and thymol) receiving
approval for use in organic farming in the EU earlier this year,
leading to our entry into two of the biggest European organic
markets of Italy and Spain in conjunction with Eden's partner,
Sipcam Oxon S.p.A.
Our presence in Europe also continues to grow through new
authorisations for both Cedroz(TM) and Mevalone(R), and we
anticipate further approvals in Europe and further abroad will
follow in due course.
Despite the uncertainty created by the Covid-19 pandemic, we
have made continued progress in expanding our business resources.
Most pleasing has been the establishment of new product development
capabilities in-house, which will save significant time and money
compared to out-sourcing, and we have been able to attract
high-calibre talent to our team, who will play an integral role in
capitalising on the opportunities in our pipeline going forward
."

Chief Executive's statement for the six months ended 30 June
2020
Results
Revenue for the first half of the year was GBP0.75m compared to
GBP0.58m for the same period in 2019.
Product sales increased to GBP0.73m (H1 2019: GBP0.45m).
Overheads were higher than last year at GBP0.97m (H1 2019:
GBP0.68m).
Loss before tax for the period increased to GBP1.02m (H1 2019:
loss of GBP0.65m).
Capital Raising
The key corporate milestone in the period was our successful
capital raise of GBP10.4m (gross) in March 2020. This was
fundamental to positioning us to capitalise on the work we have
done to date and to move forward expeditiously with our programme
to develop new, effective insecticide products as well as pursuing
other key opportunities such as seed treatments.
The Board remains confident in the market opportunity for
biopesticides, which is growing at a compound annual growth rate of
approximately 15% per annum and is projected to be worth more than
$10 billion by 2025. While the use of conventional pesticides has
been fundamental to the farming revolution over the last 100 years,
governments and consumers have increasingly begun to acknowledge
the potential risks posed by conventional pesticides to human
health and the environment. This has led to well-publicised bans or
severe restrictions on the use of some common pesticides in many
countries around the world.
Eden's technology and products can solve many of the issues
associated with the use of conventional pesticides, including
reducing or eliminating the use of microplastics in farming. We
continue to make progress towards realising the opportunities
identified by the company at the time of the capital raise, as
exemplified below.
Regulatory Update
Product approvals
In January 2020, Eden reported significant progress in its entry
to the organic market, receiving clearance for the use of its three
EU-registered active ingredients, geraniol, eugenol and thymol, in
organic farming following inclusion in the EU's Organic Production
Regulation .
Following the initial clearance of its active ingredients, Eden
confirmed it had received approval for its foliar biofungicide
product Mevalone(R), branded "3LOGY(R)" in Italy and "Araw(R)" in
Spain, for use in organic farming. Post-period end, Eden also
received organic approval for Mevalone in France. Eden's entry into
the organic grapes market is important given the rate of growth of
organic grape farming, and the fact that an allowance for use in
organic production also adds a competitive advantage in the
conventional farming markets. Organic wine production is forecast
to increase by 70% in Spain between 2018-2023 and Italy's organic
vineyards account for 15.5% of its total vineyards, the highest
proportion in the world.
Early in the period, the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic created
uncertainties regarding the timelines of regulatory processes and
procedures in the agriculture industry. Whilst the impact remains
uncertain, we were pleased to receive several authorisations across
a range of geographies from late May onwards (although a number of
key authorisations are still pending).
Eden's commercial collaborator, Eastman, received a repeat of
the emergency authorisation for Cedroz(TM) in the key territory of
Italy, and at the same time the full authorisation of Cedroz in the
Netherlands was granted. Italy is considered a key market for
Eden's products, and it was positive to see that after an initial
successful summer harvest in 2019 under the initial "emergency use"
authorisation, Eastman was granted its second 120-day pass to
coincide with the upcoming growing season. Whilst the "emergency
use" authorisations do not influence the full approvals coming
through, they help illustrate the strong demand for biopesticide
products in the region.
In the same month, Eden was notified that in Greece, the list of
authorised uses for Mevalone was expanded to include several minor
diseases on olives and tomatoes . Post-period end, Eden has
announced additional approvals in the region with the authorisation
for the sale of Cedroz in Greece and the authorisation for the sale
of Mevalone in Serbia, both to be sold to the market via regional
distributor K&N Efthymiadis ('KNE').
There have been four further authorisations post-period end: the
authorisations of Eden's bio-fungicide in Australia, for use on
both wine and table grapes under the trade name "Novellus"(TM), and
the authorisations for Eastman to sell Cedroz(TM) in Spain and
France. These are considered important opportunities for Eden and
should make an impact on future sales.
We previously reported our expectations to receive US EPA
approval for the sale of Mevalone and Cedroz in the United States
during 2020. However, partly due to Covid-19 and consequential
operational challenges at the EPA, the approval has disappointingly
continued to be delayed and timing remains uncertain. The Company
continues to actively engage with providing additional data to the
EPA to advance the process and assist where possible.
Patents
In the period, patents for Eden's Sustaine(R) encapsulation
technology and compositions for insecticide products were both
granted by the US Patent Office ("USPTO"). The initial patent
provides broad compositional protection for the encapsulation of
terpenes in hollow cell wall particles. The second patent provides
protection for the use of compositions in a method of killing mites
or treating/preventing mite infestation, which is an intended use
for Eden's new insecticide products. Both of these patents had been
pending for several years, and so we are pleased to note that a
change in patent prosecution strategy yielded the desired results
relatively quickly. Also of note is that the USPTO granted Eden
patent life adjustments providing protection until May 2030 for
Eden's covered products in the important US market.
Post-period end, the patent protecting Sustaine encapsulation
technology was granted in Australia. The patent is for
"Encapsulation of High Potency Actives" allowing for the
combination of Sustaine with a wide range of active ingredients,
including from third parties.
Commercial Partnerships
In January 2020, Eden established a new partnership in the form
of a one-year exclusive evaluation agreement with Corteva
Agriscience. The agreement granted Corteva time to evaluate Eden's
Sustaine encapsulation technology and several formulations in
specific biological seed treatment applications in certain major
territories and, if successful, will lead to Corteva being granted
exclusive distribution rights.
Corteva will have until the end of 2020 for the exclusive
evaluation of products which were developed using Sustaine in
select seed treatment applications. Following this, Corteva may
enter into an exclusive agreement for the distribution of products
in the EU, Russia, Ukraine and Turkey. This would represent a major
milestone for Eden as it will be the first use of Eden's products
and technology in the treatment of seeds and would be an initial
step into this area across a range of functional uses and seed
types. Success in this area could also mark Eden's first entry into
key broad acre crop markets, diversifying Eden's focus beyond high
value fruit and vegetables.
Work at TerpeneTech continues on the commercial launch of a head
lice treatment product. Though the timing of a commercial launch in
the UK has become less clear, in part due to issues surrounding
Covid-19 and its impact on certain retail product offerings, we do
note that TerpeneTech is in advanced conversations with another
commercial partner covering numerous territories outside of the UK.
This partially validates the strong commercial demand for safe and
effective head lice treatment products globally, and it highlights
the shortage of products that meet the demand of today's consumers.
TerpeneTech's sale of biocidal geraniol continues to develop
positively, with demand for biocides strengthening as a result of
the Covid-19 pandemic.
An amendment to the existing licence agreement between Eden and
Bayer Animal Health for animal health products was reported in May,
for the purposes of progressing the final development of a
portfolio of Bayer products based upon Eden's technology and
know-how. This amendment involved an increased investment in the
project, which was facilitated in part by Eden's successful capital
raise in March. Bayer also completed the sale of its animal health
business to Elanco, and the relevant agreements have now been
transferred to Elanco.
Post period end, we joined the NIAB EMR viticulture consortium,
where we are working together on a project with the viticulture and
wine team to develop biocontrol solutions for its members and UK
vineyards. This is an important project for the UK wine industry,
and we will provide further updates on the progress and outcomes of
trials in due course.
COVID-19 update
In March 2020, we published a statement regarding our position
on Covid-19. At this time, we stated that we had experienced no
direct operational impact and reassured our stakeholders about our
strengthened balance sheet and our ability to progress with plans
in our pipeline.
As the pandemic has evolved, we have started to see some
disruption, and there have been some issues with the import and
export of products. In addition, some regulatory authorities are
working at reduced capacity. The latter has the potential to impact
the Group's on-going product approvals with regulators around the
world, which are required for it to sell its products in a broader
range of markets to generate new revenues.
The wine industry has clearly experienced major disruptions to
production and also demand, which in turn will impact our business.
Europe's 2020 wine harvest began relatively early following a warm
growing season, but in many areas, it was taking place against a
backdrop of lost sales - largely due to the economic impact of
Covid-19 lockdowns. The countries that rank highest for total wine
consumption (the United States, UK, Spain, Italy, France, etc.) are
also the countries that have experienced the most severe impact of
the coronavirus pandemic.
Net decreases in both volumes and sales values are projected for
parts of Europe due to a fall in bar and restaurant sales, and
travel and tourism, resulting in a rising surplus of wine. This has
been somewhat countered by the rise in supermarket and e-commerce
sales in some regions in the short run, but this is not reflected
across all markets.
Eden's foliar biofungicide product, Mevalone(R), is currently
used primarily to treat botrytis on table and wine grapes in Italy,
France and Spain. The need for Mevalone in the upcoming harvest
will therefore naturally decrease as a result of the major cutbacks
on production to meet demand. In Italy, domestic demand for wine is
expected to fall by almost a third and exports have also fallen.
Wine makers in Italy fear a loss of around EUR1 billion this year,
or 9% of total sales because of the pandemic.
It remains too early to anticipate the effect that this will
have on demand for Eden's products, but it is clear that there is
the potential for reduced demand in cases where there is a strong
surplus of grapes due to weakened consumer demand. Growers clearly
will not continue to invest in agricultural inputs in order to
treat crops that may not be harvested or that may be disposed
of.
Thus far, the Company has not seen a significant change on its
toll manufacturing operations. However, social distancing and other
travel restrictions have undoubtedly impacted the ability of our
distributors to interact with customers in order to provide field
support and promote newer products. Growers' reduced ability to
harvest crops due to the lack of appropriate labour may also impact
on their investment in agrochemicals.
Given the uncertainty regarding the level and duration of any
disruption in each of the markets in which the Group operates or
plans to operate, it is difficult at this stage to assess what, if
any, commercial and financial impact there may be. We will continue
to provide updates as appropriate.
Team Development
It has been a busy time for the Eden team as we have executed on
our plans to expand our in-house capabilities and attract high
calibre talent.
In mid-April, Dr. Michael Carroll joined as Eden's Director of
Regulatory Affairs. Mike is a leading figure in the field of crop
protection products development and registration with over 30 years
of international experience in the agrochemical industry, having
worked in the UK, Germany, Belgium and the USA. Mike served tenures
of over 10 years at both Dow AgroSciences and Monsanto Agricultural
Group, holding various positions including Global Registration
Manager and European Registration Manager. More recently, Mike
served as Head of Research and Development for Arysta EMEA, the
largest region in Arysta LifeSciences' business.
Post-period end, Eden opened a new laboratory facility at Milton
Park to allow the Company to do more in-house, including
formulation, microbiological screening, plant and seed evaluations
and analytical work. The opening of the new facilities coincided
with some new hires, including the appointment of Dr. Aoife Dillon
to the role of Head of Biology. Eden will continue to rely upon the
outsourcing of certain functions, such as regulatory field trials,
but the development of expanded in-house capabilities will enable
the Company to accelerate product development and
commercialisation. These capabilities are already operational and
are playing a key role in the development of new insecticide
products.
Dividend
There was no dividend paid or proposed for the six-month period.
The Board continues to monitor its dividend policy.
Outlook
Following our successful capital raise in March, Eden is in a
good position to capitalise on the work it has done to date and
move forward expeditiously with its new, effective insecticide
products and pursue other key opportunities in its pipeline. Our
work on the development of insecticide formulations has been
progressing as expected. We plan to update the market on these
promising developments in due course.
Our agreement with Corteva Agriscience was Eden's first
significant milestone in developing and commercialising, via
partnership, a product using Sustaine in the new application area
of seed treatments. As announced previously, Corteva currently has
until the end of 2020 for the exclusive evaluation of products
which use Sustaine in select seed treatment applications. Following
this, Corteva may enter into an exclusive agreement for the
distribution of products in the EU and potentially several other
countries. This would represent a major milestone for Eden as it
will be the first use of Eden's products and technology in the
treatment of seeds and would be an initial step into this area
across a range of functional uses and seed types. Our work with
Corteva has progressed largely as planned, and we will update the
market on this exciting opportunity as soon as we are able to do
so.
We have made positive progress with various regulatory approvals
coming to fruition towards the end of the period and post-period
end. The approvals are fundamental enablers to increasing our
addressable market and, subsequently, sales over the second half of
the year and going forward in 2021.
Despite the disruption caused by Covid-19 during the period, we
were able to build our team and make some key new hires, as
described above. Our new appointments tied in with an exciting
development post-period end when Eden opened its new laboratory
facilities at Milton Park which will allow the Company to do more
in-house, including formulation, microbiological screening, plant
and seed evaluations and analytical work. In the second half of the
year, we aim to continue to make positive steps towards the
development and commercialisation of our products, bolstered by our
new in-house capabilities and resources.

Notes to the Interim Results
1. The information in these financial statements does not
constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the
Companies Act 2006 and is un-audited. These financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the AIM rules, and IAS 34 has
not been adopted. A copy of the Company's statutory accounts for
the period ended 31 December 2019, prepared under International
Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, has
been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and is available on
the Company's website. The auditors' report on those accounts was
unqualified and did not contain statements under section 498(2) or
section 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
2. Nature of operations and general information
Eden Research is a technology development and commercialisation
company with intellectual property and expertise in encapsulation,
terpenes and environmentally friendly technologies to provide
naturally occurring solutions for the global agrochemicals, animal
health, and consumer product industries.
Eden's encapsulation technology harnesses the biocidal efficacy
of naturally occurring chemicals produced by plants (terpenes) and
can also be used with both natural and synthetic compounds to
enhance their performance and ease-of-use. The technology uses
yeast cells that are a by-product of numerous commercial production
processes to deliver a slow release of natural compounds for
agricultural and non-agricultural uses. Terpenes are already widely
used in the food flavouring, cosmetics and pharmaceutical
industries.
Historically, terpenes have had limited commercial use in the
agrochemical sector due to their volatility, phytotoxicity and poor
solubility. Eden's platform encapsulation technology provides a
unique, environmentally friendly solution to these problems and
enables terpenes to be used as effective, low-risk
agrochemicals.
Eden is developing these technologies through innovative
research and a series of commercial production, marketing and
distribution partnerships.
3. Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are
for the six months ended 30 June 2020. They have been prepared
following the recognition and measurement principles of IFRS. They
do not include all of the information required for full annual
financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December
2019.
These financial statements have been prepared on the going
concern basis and under the historical cost convention.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis which contemplates the realisation of assets and the
settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Group has reported a loss for the period after taxation of
GBP1.02m (H1 2019: GBP0.65m). Net current assets at 30 June 2020
amounted to GBP9.81m (30 June 2019: GBP1.88m).
The directors have prepared budgets and projected cash flow
forecasts, based in part on forecasts provided by Eden's commercial
partners, for a period of two years from 31 December 2019 and they
consider that the Group will be able to operate with the cash
resources that are available to it for this period. The ability of
the Group to continue as a going concern is ultimately dependent
upon the amounts and timing of cash flows from the exploitation of
the Group's intellectual property and the availability of
additional funding to meet the short term needs of the business
until the commercialisation of the Group's portfolio is
reached.
The forecasts adopted only include revenue derived from existing
contracts and, while there is a risk these payments might be
delayed or not occur if milestones are not reached, there is also
potential upside from on-going discussions and negotiations with
other parties, as well as other "blue sky" opportunities.
In addition, the Group has relatively low fixed running costs
and has a demonstrable ability to delay certain other costs, such
as the forecast Research and Development expenditure, in the event
of unforeseen cash constraints.
The directors have also considered a scenario whereby the Group
receives no revenue from the date of this Report. On this basis,
the directors believe that the Group has sufficient cash to cover a
period of at least 12 months from the date of this Report.
The directors have been and will continue to closely monitor
performance against cash flow projections that have been prepared
for the period to 31 December 2020, and beyond, and are confident
that the Group will be able to rely on the necessary cash resources
at least at the levels referred to above.
On this basis, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare
the financial statements on the going concern basis. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that would result from a
failure by the Group to meet these forecasts.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in
the last annual financial statements for the year to 31 December
2019, except for the application of the following standards at 1
January 2020:
-- Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations (issued on 22 October 2018)
-- Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS17: Interest Rate
Benchmark Reform (issued on 26 September 2019)
-- Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of Material (issued on 31 October 2018)
-- Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS
Standards (issued on 29 March 2018)
The adoption of these new standards would not result in any
material changes to the financial statements.
The accounting policies have been applied consistently for the
purposes of preparation of these condensed interim financial
statements.
Copies of the interim statement are available from the Company
at its registered office, 6 Priory Court, Priory Court Business
Park, Poulton, Cirencester, Gloucestershire, GL7 5JB, as well as on
the Company's website.

Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP")
Eden Research Plc operates an unapproved option scheme for
executive directors, senior management and certain employees under
a LTIP which it adopted in 2017. On 28 June 2019, 5,891,111 shares
under the LTIP scheme were awarded to the Chief Executive Officer
and the Chief Financial Officer.
Details of the existing LTIP can be found on page 34 of the 2019
Report and Accounts. A new LTIP scheme is expected to be put in
place in 2020 of which further details can also be found on page 35
of the 2019 Report and Accounts.
The share-based payment charge for the year ended 31 December
2017 and subsequent years is set out as follows:

For those options and warrants which were not granted under the
Company's LTIP, fair value is measured using the Black-Scholes
model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based
on management's best estimate, for the effects of
non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural
conditions.
For those options which were granted under the Company's LTIP,
Monte Carlo techniques were used to simulate future share price
movements of the Company to assess the likelihood of the
performance criteria being met and the fair value of the awards
upon vesting. The modelling calculates many scenarios in order to
estimate the overall fair value based on the average value where
awards vest.

11. Revenue
IFRS 8 requires operating segments to be reported in a manner
consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief
operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who
is responsible for the resource allocati on and assessing
performance of the operating segments has been identified as the
Executive Directors as they are primarily responsible for the
allocation of the resources to segments and the assessment of
performance of the segments.
The Executive Directors monitor and then assess the performance
of segments based on product type and geographical area using a
measure of adjusted EBITDA. This is the result of the segment after
excluding the share-based payment charges, other operating income
and the amortisation of intangibles. These items, together with
interest income and expense are not allocated to a specific
segment.

Notes:
Eden Research is an AIM quoted company that develops and
supplies breakthrough biopesticide products and natural
microencapsulation technologies to the global crop protection,
animal health and consumer products industries
Eden's Sustaine(R) encapsulation technology harnesses the
biocidal efficacy of naturally occurring chemicals produced by
plants (terpenes) and can be used with both natural and synthetic
compounds to enhance their performance and ease-of-use.
Sustaine microcapsules are naturally derived, plastic-free,
biodegradable micro-spheres derived from yeast extract. They
produce stabilised aqueous suspensions which, are easy to mix and
apply, have phased release patterns, are safer for the environment
and the crops themselves.
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has proposed an EU-wide
restriction on the placing on the market or use of
"intentionally-added" microplastic particles. The proposed
restriction includes the use of microplastics for agricultural and
horticultural purposes, including polymers utilized for
controlled-release fertilizers, encapsulated plant protection
products (PPPs), seed coatings, and biocides.
By 2025 in the EU, pesticides containing synthetic polymer
microplastics are likely to be banned and removed from the market.
The only acceptable alternative is the substitution with
biodegradable formulations. Reformulated products will need to be
evaluated and registered within the five-year transition
period.
Sustaine is one of the only viable, proven and immediately
registerable solutions to the microplastics problem in formulations
requiring encapsulation.
Historically, terpenes have had limited commercial use in the
agrochemical sector due to their volatility, phytotoxicity and poor
solubility. Sustaine provides a unique, environmentally friendly
solution to these problems and enables terpenes to be used as
effective, low-risk agrochemicals.
Eden is developing these technologies through innovative
research and a series of commercial production, marketing and
distribution partnerships.
The Company has a number of patents and a pipeline of products
at differing stages of development targeting specific areas of the
global agrochemicals industry. To date, the Company has invested in
the region of 14m in developing and protecting its intellectual
property and seeking regulatory approval for products that rely
upon the Company's technologies. Revenues earned by the Company
have been modest whilst the Company has concentrated on securing
patent protection for its intellectual property, gaining regulatory
approvals, identifying suitable industrial partners, and entering
into commercial agreements.
In May 2013, the three actives that comprise Eden's first
commercial product, Mevalone, were approved as new ingredients for
use in plant protection products by the European Commission ("EC").
This represented a major milestone in the commercialisation of
Eden's technology and is a significant accomplishment for any
company. To illustrate this point, one should note that in 2013,
Eden's approvals represented 3 of only 10 new active ingredients
approved by the EC.
Mevalone(R) is a foliar biofungicide which initially targets a
key disease affecting grapes and other high-value fruit and
vegetable crops. It is approved for sale in a number of key
countries whilst Eden and its partners pursue regulatory clearance
in new territories thereby growing Eden's addressable market
globally.
Cedroz(TM) is a bionematicide that targets free living nematodes
which are parasitic worms that affect a wide range of high-value
fruit and vegetable crops globally. Eden's commercial collaborator,
Eastman Chemical, is pursuing registration and commercialisation of
this important new product in numerous countries globally.
Eden was admitted to trading on AIM on 11 May 2012 and trades
under the symbol EDEN.
