The address of the Company s registered office
is Tuborg Boulevard 5, DK-2900, Hellerup, Denmark.

completed an initial public offering, or IPO, which resulted in the listing of American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, representing the Company s ordinary shares, under the symbol ASND in the United States on The NASDAQ Global Select
The Company s Board of Directors approved these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements on May 23,
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting . Certain information and disclosures normally included in the
consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 and accompanying notes, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board, and as adopted by the European Union.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain
critical accounting estimates and requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates
are significant to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.
Changes in Accounting Policies
The accounting policies applied when preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been applied consistently to all
the periods presented, unless otherwise stated and are consistent with those of the Company s most recent annual consolidated financial statements. A description of our accounting policies is provided in the Accounting Policies section of the
audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Note 3 Critical Accounting Judgments and Key
Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
In the application of our accounting policies, we are required to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgments made in the process of applying our accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized
in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements relate to revenue recognition, share-based payment, internally generated intangible assets, and joint arrangements / collaboration agreements.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year relate to impairment of goodwill and to recognition of accruals for manufacturing and clinical trial activities. There have been no changes to the application
of significant accounting estimates, and no impairment losses have been recognized during the first three months of 2017 or 2016.
unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all disclosures for critical accounting estimates and judgments that are required in the annual consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with
the Company s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.
