INTERNATIONAL INTEREST AND NEW BRAND NAME
The third year of the quarter marked the start of the fall’s series of scientific congresses where we also launched the new brand name Ozilia® that now replaces K.O.S on all markets where the treatment is offered. The period started with a poster presentation at the International Headache Congress in Seoul of the results from our crucial migraine study PM007. Ozilia® was mentioned by several other lecturers as a potentially valuable alternative when medication is not appropriate or desirable.

• Study results presented at IHC2023 in Seoul
• Submission of article manuscript for PM007
• Presentation in Berlin of case study from the migraine study
• Launch of new brand name Ozilia®
• New commission analysis

Study results presented at IHC2023 in Seoul
After the first presentations in Austin and Berlin in July, the clinical study results from PM007 were also presented to basically the global leaders in migraine care, research and the industry at the International Headache Congress in Seoul September 14–17. This was the first time Chordate exhibited at an international level, which clearly indicated that Ozilia® is viewed as a relevant medicine-free alternative and knowledge about our treatment technique was properly disseminated among key congress participants. We were able to connect with valuable new contacts in both Europe and the USA that have the potential to lead the development of our business in an interesting direction.

Presentation in Berlin of case study from the migraine study
Dr. Tim Jürgens presented a case study from the migraine study PM007 at The German Migraine and Headache Society congress on June 30 in Berlin. The case study described one of the patients in the study with a headache that was very difficult to treat. After treatment with Ozilia®, the patient showed a sharp reduction in the number of migraine episodes, from 18 to 8 days. The positive effect lasted for four months without further treatment sessions. This is a single case with a remarkable effect. Given that the patient had few functional medical alternatives due to other illnesses, the report shows the value of Ozilia® as an alternative when other existing treatments are ineffective.

Article submitted for PM007
The authors of the PM007 study announced that they had submitted a manuscript to a prominent scientific journal at the end of August. After publication, the article will be a valuable tool in our marketing and sales effort. Published results are also a necessary basis for success in various reimbursement processes.

Launch of new brand name Ozilia®
Our treatment is now marketed under the name Ozilia® or Ozilia® Migraine. The new brand name is the next step in the rollout and commercialization of the treatment on our key markets. The name has been warmly received, with special attention given to the fact that it is a female name since around 70 percent of migraine patients are women.

New commission analysis
Of more than 900 listed companies in Sweden, it is estimated that one-third offer so-called commission analyses to facilitate the assessment of the company for its owners and stakeholders. Chordate is now ordering a commission analysis from Kalqyl for the same reason. We are taking steps toward the long-term goal of being able to offer our owners a bid from an international actor who is interested in adding our technology to their product portfolio. The value of the company should then theoretically be the same as the value that the buyer sees in marketing and selling the technology where it is active, often globally. We assume in principle that such hypothetical bids reasonably should constitute part of the theoretical value for the technology, but not all of it. Traditional equity or corporate analysis is often based on present value calculations of unrestricted cash flow; in other words, the value in the new few years of the profit that a business can generate itself that is not needed for some other activity in the business. The analysis principle, which is the most common and in most cases the proper tool, becomes problematic when the strategy in the company that is being analyzed instead is about showing a value in a buyer’s assessment—where the technology can have a much larger value for another party than what the company itself can achieve through profit generation from its own sales. We have therefore signed an agreement for a commissioned analysis from Kalqyl, which we, like most other small companies, will pay for. Kalqyl and other analysis firms conduct and publish their analyses at their own risk and independent from the client to preserve their reputation, which for them is crucial for their existence. We make the assessment that Kalqyl has the capacity and interest to perform a strategy-based analysis and publish it as part of the basis for the market’s assessment of Chordate.

Focus during the rest of the year
During the last part of the year, work will continue in our focus markets Finland, Germany, the UK, Italy, (Israel, unfortunately temporarily halted) and Saudi Arabia. The list of prospective clients is growing, and we are approaching our targets on several points. Marketing is in the form of exhibitions at specialist congresses:

• IHC2023, Seoul, South Korea, 9/14–17
• Deutscher Schmerzkongress 2023, Mannheim, 10/18–21
• Neurologdagarna 2023, Helsinki, Finland, 11/1–3
• EHC2023, Barcelona, 12/6–9

INCREASED ACTIVITY ON SEVERAL KEY MARKETS
The second quarter of the year centered around the presentation of the final results from Chordate Medical’s crucial clinical study PM007 at international arenas for the industry in the USA and Germany. Interest in the study’s results is strong and growing, and when I meet doctors active in the migraine field it becomes clear that there is a considerable need for alternatives and complements to the medications that are normally used. We are also continuing to see strong and increasing activity in our key markets, where one highlight was that in May we received an order for rhinitis treatment from a private hospital chain in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

• Presentation of study results in the USA and Germany
• Breakthrough order from Saudi Arabia
• Ethical approval from NHS for new migraine study
• Fully subscribed incentive program for the Board of Directors and management
• PM007 presentation at IHC2023 in Seoul – we will have an exhibition
• Submission of article manuscript for PM007

Presentation of study results in the USA
The crucial clinical study PM007 was presented at the American Headache Society Scientific Meeting in Austin, Texas, by coordinating principal investigator Dr. Jan Hoffmann from Kings College in London. It was the first time the primary parts of the final results from the study were presented at a scientific congress, and Dr. Hoffmann’s lecture was attended by approximately 300 migraine specialists. Judging by the subsequent questions from the audience, the presentation was received with great interest. The questions asked mainly pertained to the study design, patient population, and the ease of use of the K.O.S product.
 
Article submitted for PM007
We are pleased to report that the authors of this crucial article have now submitted a manuscript to a prominent scientific journal. After publication, the article will be a valuable tool in our marketing and sales effort. Published results are also a necessary basis for success in various reimbursement processes.
 
Breakthrough order from Saudi Arabia
At the beginning of May, our new distributor in Saudi Arabia, Janin Medical, received its first key order for equipment and supplies for the treatment method K.O.S for chronic rhinitis. The customer is the private healthcare company Nahdi Care Clinics, which has four hospitals located in the country’s second largest city, Jeddah.

In addition to the installations we already have in Saudi Arabia, three publicly owned hospitals in Jeddah, Makkah and Dammam have evaluated K.O.S, and Janin Medical is expecting orders from all three. In addition to the efforts to increase the business within chronic rhinitis, Janin Medical is also driving the process of registering a market authorization for K.O.S for chronic migraine.

Ethical approval from NHS for new migraine study
At the beginning of May, the ethics committee of the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK approved the study design for our upcoming scientific study PM009, which aims to evaluate the efficacy of K.O.S in the preventive treatment of chronic migraine on patients not responding to treatment with monoclonal antibodies targeting the CGRP pathway. Any level of positive outcome in the study will likely mean a great opportunity for the Company since the patient group in question has very few treatment options left. The first patient can be expected in mid-September.
 
Fully subscribed incentive program for the Board of Directors and management
The Company’s two newly established incentive programs were fully subscribed in May by management and the Board of Directors. The aim of the incentive programs is for current and future employees and consultants at Chordate Medical to be able to become long-term owners and benefit from and advocate for a positive value development in the share in the Company during the period covered by the proposed program and that the Company will be able to keep and recruit competent and engaged staff. Subscription to the programs entails an increase in share capital by SEK 1,000,000 and SEK 375,000, respectively if the warrants are fully used to subscribe shares in the subscription period.
 
Focus during the rest of the year
Through the end of the year, work will continue on sales in all our focus markets: Finland, Germany, UK, Italy, Israel and Saudi Arabia. Our marketing specialists are pursuing a number of prospects with the goal of receiving final orders. Marketing to support these efforts will primarily take the form of exhibitions at specialist congresses:

• IHC2023, Seoul, South Korea, 9/14–17
• Deutscher Schmerzkongress 2023, Mannheim, Germany, 10/18–21
• Neurologdagarna 2023, Helsinki, Finland, 11/1–3
• Regional symposiums and congresses

Kista, August 2023
Anders Weilandt, CEO

Summary of the period January–March 2023

• Net turnover was SEK 120,421 (68,633)

• Cash flow from operating activities was SEK -6,499,823 (-6,765,843)

• Profit/loss after financial items was SEK -7,133,134 (-7,379,153)

• Profit/loss after tax was SEK -7,133,134 (-7,379,153)

• Earnings per share were SEK -0.03 (-0.04)

INCREASED ACTIVITY ON SEVERAL KEY MARKETS
From the start of the year through May 2023, we have seen increased activity on all key markets, both from us and from potential and existing customers. We recently received a breakthrough order in Saudi Arabia for the rhinitis treatment, British NHS approved the design of our pending migraine study, 11 clinics in Italy are now offering K.O.S treatment for chronic rhinitis, and the American Headache Society’s (AHS) scientific conference in June accepted the study results from PM007 for presentation in a lecture format. In addition, we started the year with a rights issue that was subscribed to approximately 72 percent, which shows continued strong confidence from our shareholders.

• Abstract with completed study results from the migraine study accepted for presentation in lecture format at AHS.

• Yet another step on the path to product registration in China.

• New patent granted by the European Patent Office—reinforces the company’s position on the market.

• Cash reinforced by SEK 37.3 million before expenses following the rights issue.

Several successes in Saudi Arabia
At the end of February, the Saudi Food and Drug Authority approved Janin Medical as our authorized representative in the country. Since then, we have received a breakthrough order for rhinitis systems from the private healthcare company NahdiCare Clinics for the first of their four clinics, and our distributor Janin Medical is simultaneously pursuing registration for marketing authorization for the migraine indication. While we wait for this authorization, Janin’s sales staff are busy increasing the number of rhinitis installations in both private and public clinics that are on our target list.

AHS has accepted the migraine study for presentation
The primary results from migraine study PM007 – “Kinetic Oscillation Stimulation (K.O.S) for the preventive treatment of chronic migraine: results from a randomized-controlled trial” – were published as an abstract on the AHS website in April. Dr. Jan Hoffmann, Kings College, will present the study’s results at the AHS congress in Austin, Texas, in mid-June this year.

This is very important for us; only select scientific works are invited for presentation in lecture form, which we can only interpret to mean that the scientific committee at AHS has judged the material to be very interesting.

Key advancement on the Chinese market
In February, our Chinese joint venture company Changyong Medical Technology Co. submitted an application for product registration in China for the K.O.S treatment for chronic rhinitis. This is a key step forward toward entry into the Chinese market.

Another patent reinforces our market position
The European Patent Office approved at the beginning of the year another patent application regarding development of the K.O.S treatment. Continuing to expand the patent portfolio makes it more difficult for a potential competitor to enter our market and enables exclusive access to the market, which is a pillar in the ownership value the company is building.

Focus during the rest of the year
We are continuing to follow up on the established sales and marketing plan in our select markets, with a special focus on the migraine area.
