1. Analysis of operating results and financial conditions (1) Analysis of operating results

During the year, in an environment of rising stock prices due to government economic policies and large scale monetary

easing by the Bank of Japan, economic conditions gradually recovered, and a trend of improvement in corporate results and

employment conditions was seen as well. However, factors such as the effect of the increased consumption tax and

increased prices due to the effect of weak yen have dampened growth in personal consumption, and the outlook continues to

be uncertain.

Under these economic conditions, we have been actively engaging in further development of the main pipelines,

exploration of new pipelines, and cultivation of cooperation with new business partners.

(Progress in the R&D activities for main pipelines)

Described below are the current R&D activities for four (4) main pipelines.

As for Nanoplatin® (NC-6004), the first product that we have developed ourselves, a global development has been in

progress, with our company’s proprietary development and co-development with the licensee. In the Asia region (including

Oceania, but excluding Japan, China and India), we have implemented Phase III clinical trials for the indication of

metastatic and progressive pancreatic cancer in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and South Korea with the licensee OEP

(Orient Europharma Co., Ltd. (Taiwan). In-house development has progressed both in Japan and in the United States. In

Japan, we have nearly completed a Phase I clinical trial for the indication of solid tumors. In addition, in the United States,

Phase Ib/II clinical trials for the indication of non-small-cell lung cancer are underway in several facilities, including MD

Anderson Cancer Center of University of Texas, where administration of the investigational drug to patients is already in

progress.

Regarding DACH-platinum guiding micelles (NC-4016), the Phase I clinical trial of the second platinum preparation

developed in-house is being carried out in the US for the indication of solid tumors, and in the MD Anderson Cancer Center

of University of Texas, administration of the investigational drug to patients is in progress.

A Phase I clinical trial of Epirubicin micelles (NC-6300/K-912) for the indication of solid tumors is being conducted in

Japan together with Kowa Co., Ltd. under the co-development and licensing agreement which we have made granting them

exclusive worldwide rights, and the administration of the investigational drug to patients is in progress.

As for the paclitaxel micelles (NK105), Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd., to which we granted the license for Asia, including

Japan, is proceeding with the Phase III clinical trial (global collaborative study) for the indication of metastatic/recurrent

breast cancer.

(Progress in R&D activities for new pipelines)

Regarding R&D activities for new pipelines, we are making progress in the development of next-generation drugs using

our proprietary advanced basic technology, ADCM (antibody/drug-conjugated micelle). ADCM is an active targeting

technology that may become a new concept for ADC (antibody drug conjugates), and makes possible the improvement of

the target therapeutic range of antibody drugs. By applying ADCM, we are conducting development with the aim of

expanding the therapeutic range, such as by advancing the reprofiling of candidate drug substances, improving the ability to

target the lesion area or reducing adverse effects. We are advancing the preparations for the start of a clinical trial on human

subjects that is to promote development of a new drug that expands the treatment range by improving the targeting ability to

deliver to cancer cells and reducing toxicity through the application of next-generation ADCM technology to E7974

introduced by Eisai Co., Ltd. In addition to small molecule drugs, we have expanded our activities to the development of nucleic acids such as small interfering RNA (siRNA) that would cause even fewer side effects, and are also developing applications of micellar nanoparticle technology for large molecule drugs such as protein drugs. One of the problems with large molecule drugs such as protein- and nucleic acid-based drugs, has been that, once administered inside the body, they would quickly dissolve before their efficacy is fully realized. There are high expectations around the world for development of new carrier systems that will solve this problem. As we establish our own nucleic acid delivery technology, called NanoFect®, we expect to improve even more through active-type NanoFect® to which the ADCM described above has been added, and improve the targeting ability, making progress in the development of the next generation of DDS drugs, which would enable the intracellular insertion and controlled release of large molecule drugs and could show more potent efficacy. Joint R&D is progressing with Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., aiming at development of the first-in-class siRNA drug based on active-type NanoFect®, our nucleic acid delivery technology. Furthermore, we will also continue our active participation in joint research and development projects with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, universities and research institutions both in Japan and abroad.

(Progress of cosmetics business)

Regarding the cosmetics business, shipments are going well for Nanosesta which is a raw material for the beauty essence

Eclafutur marketed by ALBION Co., Ltd., (Albion). We are also conducting joint R&D and advancing the co-

commercialization of such products as new beauty essences and hair tonic with the same company. In seeking to expand

this kind of cosmetics business, our company created the Cosmetics Business Division in January 2015, and we are

strengthening the system to develop this business.

(Progress of business development)

Regarding business development activities, in June 2014, we concluded an exclusive licensing agreement to develop,

market, and sell the new drug candidate E7974 owned by Eisai Co., Ltd. Our company is advancing R&D taking the

implementation of clinical trials into account for an antibody conjugated micellar drug encapsulating E7974 that applies

ADCM technology to E7974 as a candidate for a next-generation pipeline. In addition, in February 2015, we concluded a

joint research agreement with Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. agreeing to conduct joint research aiming at the development

of a first-in-class antibody conjugate micellar drug encapsulating siRNA, using siRNA and antibodies selected by Chugai

and applying our company's active-type NanoFect® technology. To expand our tie-up as a way to strengthen further the

relationship of trust and cooperation with Chugai, new stock was issued by third-party allocation to Chugai, raising 499

million yen in funds.

Sales for this fiscal year were 675,801 thousand yen (an increase by 43.1% compared to the previous fiscal year), mainly

Page 7: Financial Results for the Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2015 ...pdf.irpocket.com/C4571/Q8aV/FN51/cE5I.pdf · Scheduled date of submission of securities report June 25, 2015 . Supplementary

from contract revenues and supply revenues from trial drugs and cosmetics materials. The operating loss was 1,108,227

thousand yen (compared with 1,123,045 thousand yen for the previous fiscal year). The ordinary loss was 171,274 thousand

yen (compared with 1,094,935 thousand yen for the previous fiscal year) due mainly to the foreign currency translation gain

of 919,044 thousand yen resulting from the revaluation of foreign currency-denominated deposits affected by foreign

exchange market fluctuations, and 28,405 thousand yen in interest received from foreign currency-denominated time

deposits. The net loss was 207,156 thousand yen (compared with the net loss of 1,113,687 thousand yen for the previous

fiscal year), as a result of the impairment loss of 33,694 thousand yen on property, plant and equipment recorded in the

current period.

<Outlook for the 20th period (the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016)>

Regarding the outlook for the next fiscal year (ending March 31, 2016), taking into consideration the future applications

and approvals of the clinical trials currently in progress both in Japan and abroad, it will be a fiscal year in which investment

will be made in clinical development for a broader range of indications. It will also be a fiscal year where we begin full-

scale investment in R&D for new pipelines. Accordingly, a significant increase in R&D expenses such as clinical

development expenses and new pipeline development expenses is expected in the next fiscal year in comparison to this

fiscal year

Nevertheless, we firmly believe that these focused investments at this time will lead to the maximization of the corporate

value of our company over the medium and long term.

Regarding Nanoplatin® (NC-6004), together with OEP, our licensee for the Asian region, we are conducting the Phase III

clinical trials for the indication of pancreatic cancer, but we are considering expanding both the region and the indication to

include head and neck cancers. In addition, in our in-house development in the United States as well, in addition to the

Phase Ib/II clinical trial currently being conducted for the indication of non-small-cell lung cancer, we are expanding Phase

I/II or Phase II clinical trials for several kinds of indications including head and neck cancers, and planning to strategically

expand clinical trials aiming at early approval.

By adding new indications to previous clinical trials, and expanding the selectivity of indications, and focusing on the

advancement of clinical trials focused on indications deemed to have a high likelihood of early approval, we aim to reduce

the lead time of clinical trials and improve the approval rate.

Regarding DACH Platinum derivative micelles (NC-4016), although the present Phase I clinical trial for the indication of

solid tumors in the USA is being carried out in-house, in the future we are aiming to obtain approval by adding Phase I/II

clinical trials for indications with a high likelihood of early approval.

Epirubicin micelles (NC-6300/K-912) have been under co-development by NanoCarrier and Kowa Co., Ltd. under the co-

development and licensing agreement we made with Kowa Co., Ltd., granting them exclusive worldwide rights. In Japan,

we have been conducting Phase I clinical trial for the indication of solid tumors, but in the future, while considering

additional indications, we are developing Phase I/II clinical trials for the indication of breast cancer.

Regarding R&D for new pipelines, we are advancing the preparations for the start of clinical trials on human subjects to

promote development of a new drug that expands the treatment range by improving the targeting ability to deliver to cancer

cells and reducing toxicity through the application of next-generation ADCM technology to E7974 introduced by Eisai Co.,

Ltd.

Joint R&D is progressing with Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., aiming at development of the first-in-class siRNA drug

based on active-type NanoFect®, our nucleic acid delivery technology.

Because of the increase in strategic investment centered on revision of the clinical development strategy to expand

indications and aimed at early approval of existing pipelines, and the acceleration of R&D for antibody/drug-conjugated

micelles, etc. that are our next-generation pipelines, R&D expenses are expected to increase by 109.0% over the current

business year to 2,202 million yen. As a result, the main economic indicators in the next fiscal year--net sales, operating loss,

ordinary loss, and net loss--are expected to be, respectively: 137 million yen (compared to 675 million yen in the current

fiscal year), 2,666 million yen (compared to operating loss of 1,108 million yen in the current fiscal year), 2,617 million yen

(compared to ordinary loss of 171 million yen in the current fiscal year), and 2,772 million yen (compared to a net loss of

207 million yen in the current fiscal year). For net sales in the next fiscal year, the main component is expected to be sales of

raw materials for cosmetics, etc. sold by Albion Co., Ltd.

(2) Analysis of financial conditions ① Assets, liabilities, and net assets

Assets at the end of the fiscal year increased 363 million yen for the previous fiscal year to reach 14,704 million yen. This was

mainly due to an increase in notes and receivables (trade) and an increase in lease and guarantee deposits. Liabilities at the end of

fiscal year decreased by 541 million yen for the previous fiscal year to reach 202 million yen. This decrease is mainly from

conversions of convertible bonds with stock acquisition rights. Net assets increased by 904 million yen for the previous fiscal

year to reach 14,501 million yen. This increase is mainly from the increase in shareholders’ equity and capital surplus, due

mainly to the issuance of new stock in connection with third-party allotment and conversions of convertible bonds with stock

acquisition rights.

② Cash flows

Cash and cash equivalents (capital) at the end of the current fiscal year has decreased by 2,981 million yen from the previous

period to reach 2,052 million yen. Details on the cash flows for this year are as follows.

(Cash flows from operating activities)

Net cash used in operating activities for the current fiscal year was 1,120 million yen (increased from an outflow of 1,086

million yen for the previous fiscal year), as a result of adjustments such as 919 million yen in foreign exchange gains, an increase

of 209 million yen in trade receivables, and a decrease of 151 million yen in raw materials and supplies being applied to the 205

million yen net loss before taxes.

(Cash flows from investing activities)

Net cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year was 2,562 million yen (decreased from an outflow of 7,059 million yen

for the previous fiscal year). The decreased cash outflow for investing activities was the result of depositing of 8,700 million yen

into term deposits, the withdrawal of 6,417 million yen from term deposits, as well as the outlay of 159 million yen used for the

purchase of property, plant and equipment,

(Cash flows from financing activities)

Net cash provided by investing activities for the fiscal year was 504 million yen (decreased from an inflow of 9,581 million yen

for the previous fiscal year), mainly from the issuance of new shares associated with third-party allotment.

the current and the next fiscal years.

We will place a higher priority on securing of funds necessary for the continuation of the R&D activities, as we have to

continue the R&D activities for our core pharmaceutical business growth. We recognize the importance of returning profit to our

shareholders as one of our important management responsibilities, and we intend to consider future profit distributions such as

dividends by taking into account the results of operations and financial conditions when the net result turns out to be positive.

(4) Risks relating to our business There are factors that could affect our operating results, financial conditions, and stock price, which are described below.

① Overview of our business

a. Current business operations

(i) License agreements with collaboration partners

We own patents and other intellectual properties based on our micellar nanoparticle technology, and in order to be able to

provide new pharmaceutical products that would meet the medical needs for improving the usefulness (effectiveness and

safety), we are focusing on the research and development of new drugs based on the nanotechnology-based formulation

technology. We are operating based on a set of business strategies in order to achieve the commercialization through

accelerated R&D activities for each pipeline. Our current business models are classified into three patterns, namely, ① in-

house development, ② co-development, and ③ out-licensing.

Regarding ② co-development and ③ out-licensing among the above models, the timing and the terms/conditions of each

agreement for each pipeline, whether it is for license or co-development, with a potential counterparty of the agreement,

could affect materially our business planning in terms of the business operations. Also in a case where an agreement is not

executed as anticipated or in another case where our co-development agreement is terminated because of disagreement on

the future course of directions between both parties even when the contract is concluded as anticipated, our operating

performance and financial conditions, as well as our R&D projects, could be materially affected.

(ii) Reducing risks associated with the drug development through the use of existing compounds

The key element of our projects lies in the fact that a new formulation drug or a new active ingredient is developed by

using the micellar nanoparticle technology on the existing compounds. Therefore, we believe that the risk associated with

the development of a new drug is lower and the possibility of achieving a successful outcome is higher than those

compounds that have a completely new structure (i.e. never existent as a known structure).

However, the development risk or success rate may not fall within the scope of our expectations due to changes in the

regulatory rules and regulations that could be enforced at any time during the long period of development, and if the

development risk increases or the success rate is reduced by more than we anticipated, it could hinder the progress of our

business development plan.

(iii) Expansion of pipelines

It is very important for us to file a patent application for and secure the exclusivity of the new inventions which are

discovered through the research and development of a new active drug ingredient by combining the drug substances with

our core polymers. We believe that we need to increase the pipelines based on this technology that has been well

corroborated by these patents. However, whether we could increase the pipelines that are based on the approved patents as

expected is not known, and there is no guarantee that we could expand the research and development for each pipeline as

projected. If we are not able to increase the pipelines as expected, or if we are not able to expand the R&D activities as

projected, our business development itself could be adversely affected.

(iv) Review and evaluation of our product candidates by regulatory authority

We are pursuing the development of new drugs by utilizing our core technology with both existing and new compounds to

Page 10: Financial Results for the Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2015 ...pdf.irpocket.com/C4571/Q8aV/FN51/cE5I.pdf · Scheduled date of submission of securities report June 25, 2015 . Supplementary

form new active substances, and therefore we believe that most of these new drug candidates will be evaluated as new

molecular entities in the application for approval. However, they may not be necessarily classified and evaluated as we

believe they will be, and if we are unable to obtain the regulatory authority’s evaluation and approval, such disapproval

could adversely affect our business development itself.

b. Current status in the development of drug product candidates

(i) Our pipelines

We currently have no drugs that are approved for marketing and sales. We have four (4) products in total under

development at the clinical development stage, Nanoplatin® (NC-6004), DACH platinum guiding micelles (NC-4016),

Epirubicin micelles (NC-6300/K-912), Paclitaxel micelles (NK105), and other new development pipelines are still in the

stage of exploratory studies. All of these pipelines are still under development, and therefore there is no guarantee at the

moment that they will be approved for marketing and sales as pharmaceuticals, meanwhile there is a possibility that the

development itself will be suspended due to SAEs (serious adverse events) experienced in subject patients during a clinical

trial or a possibility that the development itself will be delayed. In fact, the clinical trial for DACH platinum guiding

micelles (NC-4016) was suspended because of the termination of the license agreement with Debiopharm S.A.

(Switzerland) in March 2011. If, similarly, we terminate an agreement with another collaborative partner, our R&D activities

will be delayed and hence, such a delay could materially affect our development planning, as well as our operating results.

Furthermore, a decision of approval or disapproval on those drug candidates in the stage of clinical trials ahead of the

above pipelines could materially affect our business operations.

In addition, as for the pipelines that are scheduled to be placed on the market in Japan and overseas, a delay in the clinical

development in a region where the development has been conducted ahead of other regions could lead to the delay of the

clinical development in other regions, which could adversely affect the progress of our business planning and projects.

Even if any of our pipelines are approved as a drug product and are marketed in the future, there is no guarantee that it

will be accepted as a pharmaceutical in the market, and also because there is a possibility that it may be subject to local

pharmaceutical approval systems or regulations concerning intellectual property that are different in each country, there is

no guarantee that such a drug would be manufactured and marketed/sold as we have anticipated.

(ii) Our reliance on third parties

We entrust the operation of clinical trials of drug candidates developed by ourselves to the outside organization such as

CROs (contract research organizations) and the manufacturing of investigational drugs to be used for clinical trials to the

outside manufacturing entities. If these outside organizations do not comply with rules and regulations imposed by their

regulatory authorities, our outsourcing contracts with them could be terminated, and if we do not conclude a new contract

with other development subcontractors or manufacturing subcontractors on the conditions desirable to us, the progress of

clinical trials could be interrupted. Furthermore these events could harm the future manufacturing of commercialized drugs

in the relationship with outsourced manufacturing entities.

In light of the marketing and sales of commercialized drugs, we are expecting to grant the marketing and sales rights to

third parties and to receive royalties from them in return. But there is no guarantee that we are able to conclude a license

agreement with those third parties. In the event where we are unable to conclude such a sales agreement with a third party

for a particular drug product, we will have to market and sell the product by ourselves, in which case, we could incur

substantial cost for the organizing of our own sales force, eventually preventing our own marketing and sales activities from

being handled as we have planned.

c. Outlook of our future business

Although we are conducting advanced R&D aiming at early manufacturing and marketing approval of new drugs, the

development of new drugs requires significant R&D investment over a long period. We have secured our objective for R&D

capital for now through measures such as the public offering carried out in October 2013, but there is no guarantee that

―10―

Page 11: Financial Results for the Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2015 ...pdf.irpocket.com/C4571/Q8aV/FN51/cE5I.pdf · Scheduled date of submission of securities report June 25, 2015 . Supplementary

progress will be made as planned in R&D. In the event that progress is not made in research and development as planned, it

will not be possible to determine the timing of the manufacturing and marketing approval for new drugs, and there is no

guarantee that manufacturing and marketing will be carried out as planned.

If we are unable to obtain the approval for the manufacturing and commercialization for these drugs under development,

we would not be able to recover the development cost, and even if we would be able to obtain approval, there is a possibility

that we may not achieve the sales target as projected in our business plan.

d. Our reliance on certain business partners

(i) Reliance on certain clients

Our main sales clients include OEP, Kowa, and Albion, but there is no guarantee that these companies will continue to

trade with our company in the future. Any change in the relationships between these clients and our company, and/or

changes of earnings or discontinuance of business in these clients, could materially affect our business and operating results.

(ii) Reliance on certain suppliers

Our main suppliers of raw materials and research reagents include Nagase & Co., Ltd., Nichiyu Co., Ltd., and Ieda

Chemical Co., Ltd., but there is no guarantee that these companies will continue to trade with our company in the future.

Any change in the relationships between these suppliers and our company, and/or changes of earnings or discontinuance of

business in these suppliers, could materially affect our business and operating results.

e. Operating results and financial conditions

Since the Company was incorporated on June 14, 1996, we have been consistently focusing on R&D activities, aiming for

the development of new pharmaceutical drugs, and to date, we have reported a net loss every year, as expenses, especially

R&D expenses, have always exceeded the profits. Furthermore, cash flows from operating activities continue to be negative.

We currently derive revenues mainly from one-time up-front payments for licenses and other contracts, as well as

milestone payments based on the co-development and license agreements we have entered into with the third parties. In the

event that we are unable to enter these agreements with potential partners in the future, or where the counterparties of the

agreements fail to meet the milestone provision included in those contracts, we may not be able to collect such one-time up-

front payments of licenses and other contracts or milestone payments. If these events occur, the net loss could increase

significantly beyond our projected level.

f. Negative retained earnings carried forward

We are a venture company focused on research and development. Thus, we expect to continue reporting very high

amounts of R&D expenses, in excess of any income, until those pipelines that are currently in stages of clinical trials are

brought to the market and more stable revenue streams such as royalties help our earnings structure become profitable. For

that reason, we have continued to report a net loss, and for the current fiscal year, we have reported a negative retained

earnings carried forward.

We intend to turn around to report profitability as soon as possible by accelerating the development of existing pipelines

in accordance with our plans, in a speedy, efficient and steady manner, yet we may not be able to report positive net income

as soon as we are expecting to. If our business and the development of pipelines are not making progress as projected and a

net income is not reported as a result of such poor progress, the timing of retained earnings carried forward turning to

become positive could be significantly delayed.

g. Financing

As a pharmaceutical company dedicated to research and development, we conduct in-house development as well as co-

development in collaboration with universities and other research organizations, but we are always in need of very high

amounts of funding to support R&D activities. Therefore in the event we cannot secure the funding in time as projected due

―11―

Page 12: Financial Results for the Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2015 ...pdf.irpocket.com/C4571/Q8aV/FN51/cE5I.pdf · Scheduled date of submission of securities report June 25, 2015 . Supplementary

to reasons including slow progress in the business plans, we may face a shortage of funds, and depending on the financial

condition, the sustainability as a going concern of our company could also be materially affected.

h. Tax losses carried forward

We have tax losses carried forward. Because it is usually possible to deduct tax losses carried forward from future taxable

income, reduction of the amount of future taxes is possible through use of tax losses carried forward. Nevertheless, there are

certain legal limits established for the amount of tax losses carried forward and the period of their use. As a result, because

tax losses carried forward may not be able to be used in the event that taxable income is not produced as planned, they

would be taxed at the ordinary tax rate based on the corporate income tax, etc., and it is possible that this will have an effect

on annual net income and cash flows.

i. Competition

We currently focus on drug development, especially dedicated to the development of anti-cancer agents, utilizing our core

micellar nanoparticle technology. Since the market for new drugs including anti-cancer agents spans worldwide, we face

potential competition from other companies in the same industry across the world, both within Japan and overseas. For

example, there are already oral formulations developed by other competitors, using a new liposomal formulation of taxol

conjugate paclitaxel and platinum-based anticancer agents such as cisplatin, and other similar agents, and our drug

candidates could directly compete with them. Although we are aiming for the early development and early approval for

commercialization, we may not be able to achieve expected earnings even when our products are approved for

commercialization, if the competitors first start selling their products with similar efficacy or that are safer than our product

before we begin sales, or if a more effective drug is brought to the market after we have started sales of our product.

② Important agreements with business partners

For business development, our company concludes agreements with other companies or organizations for in- and out-licensing

and joint research, joint development, etc. Because our corporate planning is formulated on the condition of revenue and other

income based on these agreements, if any of these important agreements is disrupted or terminated or unfavorable changes or

modifications to us are made to the conditions, and/or if any of them is not renewed after the end of the contractual term, there

could be an adverse effect on the company’s operating results.

③ Organization

a. Securing human resources and talents

Since our competitive edge lies in the capability of research and development, securing of researchers, scientists and

engineers with highly professional expertise is essential. It is also necessary to enhance manpower for business development,

manufacturing, and internal control in order to support further growth of our business. We continue to try to secure, highly

talented human resources and to train and educate our employees, but if we are unable to secure talented personnel or train

and educate our employees as planned, such a failure could hinder our business operations.

b. Small sized organization

Our company is a small scale organization, and the research and development system and internal corporate management

system corresponds to this scale.

Although we are striving to enhance business operations even in this kind of situation of limited human resources, any

hindrance preventing employees from performing their jobs and duties or resignations by many employees could easily

harm the business due to the reliance on limited human resources.

On the other hand, rapid business expansion would lead to an increase in fixed costs, which could adversely affect

financial results.

c. Reliance on certain key personnel

The leader of our business is Ichiro Nakatomi, who is Representative Director, President and CEO of our company. As

Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Nakatomi has an influence on the decision-making of the business strategies and business

development, R&D activities as well as the internal management and control. As a part of our efforts to build up a corporate

structure that does not rely excessively on Mr. Nakatomi, we are trying to strengthen the management structure, yet in the

event it becomes difficult for Mr. Nakatomi to continue to perform his duties, this could hinder execution of business

strategies of our company.

d. Advisors and counselors

We have built up a system where the most advanced research findings and results can be applied to our research and

development activities by engaging the external researchers and advisors through advisory agreements and counseling

agreements.

The advisory and counseling agreements are to be renewed every year, and inability to continue such agreements in cases

such as failure to renew the agreements for any reason could adversely affect our research and development activities.

e. M&A

We consider investments and mergers and acquisitions of other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to be one of

our business strategies, in addition to the in-licensing of product pipelines from third-parties, but there is no guarantee that

we will succeed in executing such options as in-licensing or mergers and acquisitions for completion.

④ Intellectual property rights

a. Our patent strategy

We will continue to protect and promote our proprietary rights by keeping our competitive advantages over others through

the patent portfolio, while respecting legitimate rights of others.

Our pipelines that are currently progressing in clinical development are protected by our own or jointly-owned patent

rights or patent applications obtained through in-licensing from others. These patents and patent applications have been filed

in countries where a large pharmaceutical market exists, such as the United States, Europe, Japan and Asia.

However, there is no guarantee that all the patents or patent applications of our own or obtained through in-licensing

which are currently under review will be successfully approved. In addition, all of our patent applications have not been

necessarily filed in the regions where we have operating activities or where our competitors exist. Furthermore, even if these

patent applications are approved, there is always a possibility that our patented technologies could be taken over by more

advanced technologies developed by competitors. In addition, a competitor making a new breakthrough development of a

highly advanced technology that is not covered by and not included in the scope of our patent rights, or a disapproval of an

approved patent right, could also materially affect our business strategies and operating performance.

Our in-licensed patents are those that are necessary for the development of our current main pipelines and the

development of new pipelines.

However, our business strategies and business performance could be materially affected in the event we are unable to

reach in-license agreements where the need for such patent in-licensing arises in the future, or such in-licensing requires a

substantial amount of payment for the patent right use.

b. Lawsuits and claims on intellectual property

We are currently not involved in any proceedings of lawsuits or claims against us with any third party concerning our

patents or other intellectual property rights relating to our research and development activities, as of March 31, 2015.

However, we cannot give any assurance that our competitors are not conducting the research and development activities

similar to ours, nor that our product candidates will not give rise to any patent infringement claims or lawsuits against us by

others.

―13―

Page 14: Financial Results for the Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2015 ...pdf.irpocket.com/C4571/Q8aV/FN51/cE5I.pdf · Scheduled date of submission of securities report June 25, 2015 . Supplementary

In order to prevent such an incident from occurring, we continue to monitor our research and development activities and

to conduct patent infringement investigations through patent offices, and to date, we are not aware of any fact that our

product and technology development activities would infringe on the patent rights of others. However, for a research and

development focused company like us, it is extremely difficult to prevent any occurrence of infringement of intellectual

property rights. Therefore, any dispute involving patent rights with a third party or any involvement in the disputes and

litigations between a third party and our co-development partners could materially affect our business strategies and

financial performance as well.

⑤ Risks relating to product liability

There is always an inherent risk of being subject to product liability claims in the development and manufacturing of

pharmaceutical drugs. If any of drugs we develop happens to cause health problems in the future, or if inadequate or

inappropriate events are to be found during our clinical trials, manufacturing or business operations including sales and

marketing, we might become liable for product liability, which could materially affect our entire business and financial

conditions. Even if such damage claims and product liability litigations are dismissed, the negative image caused by such

claims and litigations may damage public confidence in our company and our drug products, resulting in adverse effects on

our business operations and performances.

⑥ Compliance with laws and regulations

We are currently focusing on the research and development of new drug candidates, but going forward we aim to focus on

the manufacturing of pharmaceutical drug products based on the results of research and development. In Japan, we are

subject to the Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices and Other Therapeutic Products Act and other relevant laws and

regulations. These laws and regulations are intended to require the assurance of quality, effectiveness and safety of

pharmaceutical products, quasi-pharmaceutical products, cosmetics, and medical devices, and the manufacturing and sale of

these products would require approval or permission from the applicable regulatory authorities.

Going forward, depending on the progress of our development activities, we will need to obtain relevant permission or

approval. We are also subject to similar laws and regulations in other countries.

In addition, for the development, manufacturing and marketing/sale of our pipeline in other countries, we are also subject

to the local laws and regulations concerning the local health insurance system and patient privacy, as well as other

applicable regulations, applicable in each country.

⑦ Preconditions for main business activities

License agreements for main pipelines

a. In-licensing of intellectual property rights from universities and other institutions

In order to use and apply the “research seeds” – outcomes of and results from the research conducted by universities – to

the development of pharmaceutical products for commercialization, we actively seek opportunities of in-licensing of

intellectual property rights from universities and research institutes, and we recognize and attach importance to the

following the main license agreements relevant to our core pipelines as being critical to our business platform.

To date, there has never been any incident that could hinder the existence and continuance of the following agreements,

but if any difficulties arise with regard to the extension of these agreements, or unfavorable amendments are to be made to

the existing agreements, or the renewal of the agreement cannot be achieved, they could materially affect our development

projects and business performances.

Name of agreement Company (date of agreement) Contents of agreement

License agreement TODAI TLO (January 26, 2001) Exclusive license and exclusive rights to utilize the patent of "Cisplatin-incorporated macromolecular micelles"

Memorandum The University of Tokyo and TODAI TLO (March 31, 2006)

diaminocyclohexane platinum (II) with block copolymer containing poly (carboxylic acid) segment and anti-tumor agent comprising the same"

b. Out-licensing to business partners

In an effort to reduce research and development expenses before commercialization and to minimize financial risks, we

have implemented 3 different research and development models for collaboration, namely, ① in-house development, ② co-

development, and ③ out-licensing. Among our core pipelines, three (3) pipelines are being developed in the arrangement of

out-licensing, specifically, Paclitaxel micelles (NK105), Nanoplatin® (NC-6004), and Epirubicin micelles (NC-6300/K-912).

We recognize and attach importance to the following license agreements, which are relevant to the development of core

pipeline products and critical to the development of our business platform.

To date, there has never been any incident that could hinder the existence and continuance of the following agreements,

but if any difficulties arise with regard to the extension of these agreements, or unfavorable amendments are to be made to

the existing agreements, or the renewal of the agreement cannot be achieved, they could materially affect our development

projects and business performances.

Name of agreement Company (date of agreement) Contents of agreement

Basic license agreement Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd. (June 12, 2002)

Agreement on the exclusive license for micellar nanoparticles encapsulating Paclitaxel and pharmaceutical formulation containing the same in Japan and Asia, and non-exclusive license for sale of such in other regions

EXTENDED LICENSE AGREEMENT for NC-6004 Technology

Orient Europharma Co., Ltd. (November 7, 2012)

NC-6300 license and co-development agreement

Kowa Co., Ltd (September 26, 2011)

Worldwide license for the manufacture and sale of Epirubicin micelles (NC-6300)

⑧ Dividend policy

Since the inception of our business, we have been reporting net losses and therefore we have not paid dividends.

Because we need to continue the research and development activities as a development-stage biopharmaceutical company,

our current priority is on securing necessary funds to ensure the continuation of those activities. Although we recognize the

return of profits to our shareholders as an important management responsibility, we have not yet had a positive net income

and when we are able to report such a net income, we will take into account both operating results and financial conditions,

and decide upon the appropriate dividend policy at that time.

⑨ Issuance of stock acquisition rights including stock options

As a part of our compensation program, we set up a stock option plan, and as of March 31, 2015, the number of

outstanding stock acquisition rights issued as stock options was 609,000 shares (excluding those rights already exercised).

The number of potentially dilutive shares corresponds to about 1.41% of the total number of potential shares (43,215,858

shares), which is the sum of the dilutive shares and 42,606,858 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2015, and the value of

one share of the stock will likely be diluted.

We are considering of continuing the stock option compensation plan in order to secure talented human resources.

Therefore, if more stock acquisition rights are issued and they are exercised, it is highly likely that the stock value per share

will be diluted.

Under the new accounting standard, we are required to record associated expenses for newly granted stock options, and

depending on the granting conditions of new stock option plans, the future financial results may be affected.

⑩ Foreign currency exchange gains or losses

We conduct clinical trials in Europe and United States, and our payments of expenses associated with the clinical trials are

made in foreign currencies. Therefore we keep deposits denominated in foreign currencies as a reserve for payments in those

currencies. Also a portion of the revenues is sometimes recorded in foreign currencies. As a result, foreign currency

exchange rate fluctuations could affect our operating results and financial condition.

2. The corporate group None

3. Management policy (1) Basic management policy Our corporate philosophy is to “contribute to human health and improvement of QOL (quality of life) by providing new, high-

quality pharmaceutical products,” and we are aiming to be the “first-one” and the most needed innovative pharmaceutical

company in the field of anti-cancer. Our core business is to develop and manufacture new pharmaceutical drug products,

especially the anti-cancer drugs, based on our core technology, nanotechnology-based micellar nanoparticles technology.

(2) Management policy and target key performance indicators and medium- to long-term corporate management strategy We will strive for sustainable growth and the increase of enterprise value by utilizing the funds secured through the public

offerings to support long-term and stable development projects, by accelerating and promoting in-house development with the

aim of early approval for the commercialization, and then by securing sales revenue after the commercialization and other

contractual revenues by out-licensing of internally developed products.

We are a company dedicated to research and development, promoting basic research and clinical development by utilizing one-

time up-front payments, research and development assistance funds, and milestone payments under contracts received from the

business partners and other pharmaceutical companies. In the future, when and if our proprietary products developed internally

are approved for commercialization and brought to the market, sales revenues and royalties received from business partners will

be recorded, and this is expected to significantly expand operating income.

However, any development of a pharmaceutical product requires a lengthy period and a very large amount of research and

development funds. During the development period, the expenses for research and development will be substantially increased as

the in-house development is being accelerated and progressed until the product is approved for manufacturing, marketing and

commercialization. We will enhance our business strength by utilizing various financial resources, including long-term and stable

financial resources for development, secured by the public offerings, the milestone revenues received based on the achievement

of contractual conditions through steady progresses in the development of existing products, one-time up-front fees from new

license agreements, reduction of the cost burden through collaborations with other companies by concluding co-research and/or

co-development agreements, and public funds, while also securing operating stability and financial soundness.

We will also seek new business opportunities that could contribute to securing corporate financial stability by increasing cash

sales and revenues from cosmetics and other businesses than the pharmaceutical products, through expanding the application of

our technologies to the development of these products and reinforcing these products and material supply.

(3) Agendas for the company The following agendas are being considered for the company.

① Acceleration of in-house development and expansion of indications

We aim to maximize product value through promoting in-house development so that we will be able to control the

progresses of development by ourselves and conduct development according to the planned schedules. We will continue to

―16―

Page 17: Financial Results for the Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2015 ...pdf.irpocket.com/C4571/Q8aV/FN51/cE5I.pdf · Scheduled date of submission of securities report June 25, 2015 . Supplementary

accelerate the clinical trials, especially of Nanoplatin® (NC-6004) and DACH Platinum guiding micelles (NC-4016), to

obtain early approval for commercialization, in the belief that such an early approval and commercialization will help us

maximize and optimize the corporate value of our company. In addition, when considering application and approval, we aim

to reduce the lead time of clinical trials and improve the approval rate by expanding the selectivity of indications and

advancing clinical trials that focus on indications that are deemed to have a high likelihood of early approval.

② Expansion of pipelines

Along with planning the expansion of pipelines by accelerating R&D using such technologies as the next-generation

ADCM technology and nucleic acid delivery technology (active-type NanoFect®) and turning the results into main pipelines,

from the accumulation of these technologies and applications, we are accelerating alliances with other biotechnology and

pharmaceutical companies.

③ Expansion of network and collaboration

We will continue to explore further opportunities to build up new partnerships for out-license and/or co-development of

our products by advancing development activities of new product candidates to be the next major pipelines. In the pursuit of

new collaboration opportunities, we will try to identify and obtain potential technologies and pipelines that are expected to

create synergies, in addition to potential collaborations with pharmaceutical companies by taking advantage of a wide global

network covering Japan and overseas countries, in addition to aiming to expand our business and product portfolio with an

eye to introduction of external product pipelines, and investment in and acquisition of pharmaceutical and biotech

companies.

④ Reinforcement of life-cycle management and patent strategy

We will develop networks with excellent pharmaceutical companies to create new business models which would help us

contribute to life cycle management of their existing products and their new drug candidates. In addition, we use a product

life cycle management strategy and build and develop a patent strategy.

⑤ Optimization and enclosure of technology

We will pursue optimization of our basic technologies through collaboration, including collaborative research with

universities and research institutes and co-development and other partnerships with other companies. We also aim to secure

the revenue sources by developing our own know-how in the core functions and fields that are the key base of our

competitive edge.

⑥ Expansion of the range of applications of technology

We are pursuing reliable revenue sources by expanding the range of applications of R&D to fields outside of

pharmaceuticals, especially by realization of early development of new products in the cosmetics field.

⑦ Project selection through prioritization and product implementation throughout-sourcing

We prioritize projects in terms of strengths and weakness as well as project feasibility of individual technologies. We also

aim to make effective use of collaboration and cooperation with external organizations such as universities, research

institutes, and contract organizations.

⑧ Ensuring financial stability

Our company is conducting ongoing R&D investments, and depending on the topic of R&D, there are cases in which

substantial investments are expected. Regarding securing investment capital, while making the utmost effort to secure it

from revenue earned from business operations, we ensure financial stability by financing in ways that are efficient and

effective.

(Notes regarding financial instruments)

1 Notes regarding the financial instruments

(1) Accounting policy for financial instruments

The company raises funds mainly through the public offerings, as considered necessary in light of the Company’s R&D

projects. Meanwhile, when there is a temporary surplus in the funds, they are invested only in short-term deposits.

(2) Nature of financial instruments and their risks, and the risk management system

① Management credit risk (risk pertaining to the default on financial obligations of counterparties)

Notes and accounts receivable-trade, one of the operating receivables, is exposed to the credit risk of the customers.

In accordance with the Company’s internal credit policy, any commercial transaction may be entered into only after

ensuring the creditworthiness of a counterparty, and once the transaction is commenced, our Risk Management

Division regularly monitors the collectability of the receivables by confirming the due date and the balance for each

account with each counterparty, so that a doubtful collectability could be quickly identified and determined, and any

concern over such uncollectible claims can be quickly mitigated or dispelled.

Lease and guarantee deposits receivable are future payments receivable under real estate lease agreements. We are

checking the balance regularly to eliminate or minimize relevant risks.

As for trade accounts payable and accrued expenses, which are operating accounts payable, almost all of them are

due within three months.

② Management of market risk (volatility risk inherent to the foreign exchange market and interest rates)

As for marketable securities for investment, investment is limited to the MMFs (money market funds) that have

minimal risk of volatility and that could be easily terminated or canceled at any time. In addition, market prices are

being provided to us on a regular basis by the financial institution where the investment is managed.

The securities invested are non-marketable securities, which are mainly stocks of companies with whom the

Company maintains business relationships. This means that the investment is exposed to the credit risk of the stock

issuing companies, as well as the risk of volatility of foreign exchange market because of the foreign currency-

denominated transactions conducted with them. However the Company is regularly and continuously monitoring the

financial conditions of these companies.

③ Management of liquidity risk associated with financing (insolvency risk, a risk of inability to make payment on the due

date)

The Risk Management Division is in charge of the control over the liquidity risk (insolvency risk), responsible for

preparing and updating in a timely manner the budgeting and financial planning by using the reports collected from all

business units, while maintaining the liquidity of working capital.

(3) Supplemental information regarding the market value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments includes the value based on market prices and, when there is no market price

available, the value determined by using prices reasonably estimated. Since the fair value calculation rests on variable

factors, it is hence subject to change depending on the different assumptions used.

Asset retirement obligations reported on the balance sheet

(1) Summary of the asset retirement obligations

The obligations are that the Company is obliged to restore the original conditions under the real estate lease agreement

covering the Company’s main office building and research facilities, as well as its Tokyo office building, when the Company

vacates those offices/facilities.

(2) Calculation method for the amount of the asset retirement obligations

The amount is calculated by estimating the remaining period of use of properties/facilities up to the scheduled date of

relocation, based on which, the amount of obligations was calculated.

Current fiscal year (from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015)

Asset retirement obligations reported on the balance sheet

(1) Summary of the asset retirement obligations

In this business year, our company closed its former Kashiwa headquarters and its former Tokyo office, transferring and

consolidating them into its new Kashiwa headquarters in June 2014, and also opened a new Tokyo office in March 2015.

Along with this, the asset retirement obligations were discharged for the former Kashiwa headquarters and the former Tokyo

office, and for both the new Kashiwa headquarters and the new Tokyo office, asset retirement obligations were recorded for

the restoration of the original conditions based on the real estate lease agreements.

(2) Calculation method for the amount of the asset retirement obligations

For the estimate of the asset retirement obligations, the remaining period of use was 11 years and 13 years respectively,

and the removal expense after the relevant period of use is estimated, discounted by the zero risk discount rate at the time of

establishment. The discount rate applied is 0.5% and 0.8% respectively.

(Note) 1 Effective on April 1, 2014, the Company implemented a stock split, pursuant to the resolution made at the meeting of the Board of Directors convened on February 12, 2014, at a ratio of 100 shares per one common share. As a result, both figures above, net assets per share and net loss per share, and the average number of shares for the period, are calculated on the assumption that the said stock split was implemented at the beginning of the previous fiscal year.

2. Although there were no residual shares, the fully-diluted (adjusted) net income per share for the current fiscal year is not shown in the above table, because a net loss per share was recorded for the current period.

3. The basis of calculations of net loss per share for the current fiscal year is as follows:
