Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. General information
ProQR Therapeutics N.V., or ProQR or the Company , is a development stage company domiciled in the Netherlands that primarily focuses on the development and commercialization of novel therapeutic medicines.
Since September 18, 2014, the Company's ordinary shares are listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under ticker symbol PRQR.
The Company was incorporated in the Netherlands, on February 21, 2012 and was reorganized from a private company with limited liability to a public company with limited liability on September 23, 2014. The Company has its statutory seat in Leiden, the Netherlands. The address of its headquarters and registered office is Zernikedreef 9, 2333 CK Leiden, the Netherlands.
ProQR Therapeutics N.V. is the ultimate parent company of the following entities:
ProQR Therapeutics N.V. is also statutory director of Stichting Bewaarneming Aandelen ProQR ( ESOP Foundation ) and has full control over this entity.
As used in these condensed consolidated financial statements, unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to ProQR or the Company refer to ProQR Therapeutics N.V. including its subsidiaries and the ESOP Foundation.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ( IASB ), in particular IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company's financial results have varied substantially, and are expected to continue to vary, from period to period. The Company believes that its ordinary activities are not linked to any particular seasonal factors.
The Company operates in one reportable segment, which comprises the discovery and development of innovative, RNA based therapeutics.
3. Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. New Standards and Interpretations, which became effective as of January 1, 2018, did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
4. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
In the application of the Company's accounting policies, management is 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.
(a) Share-based payments
Share options granted to employees and consultants are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted. Fair value is determined through the use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which is considered the most appropriate model for this purpose by management.
Initially, the Company's ordinary shares were not publicly traded and consequently the Company needed to estimate the fair value of its share and the expected volatility of that value. Please refer to the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 for the assumptions used in those estimates. The value of the underlying shares was determined on the basis of the prior sale of company stock method. As such, the Company has benchmarked the value per share to external transactions of Company shares and external financing rounds.
For options granted from the moment of listing, the Company uses the closing price of the ordinary shares on the previous business day as exercise price of the options granted.
The result of the share option valuations and the related compensation expense is dependent on the model and input parameters used. Even though Management considers the fair values reasonable and defensible based on the methodologies applied and the information available, others might derive a different fair value for the Company's share options.
(b) Corporate income taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses or tax credits only to the extent that the Company has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing evidence that sufficient taxable profit will be
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
available against which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilized. Management's judgment is that such convincing evidence is currently not sufficiently available and a deferred tax asset is therefore only recognized to the extent that the Company has sufficient taxable temporary differences.
Grant income is not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them. Grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the period the Company recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are expected to compensate.
(d) Research and development expenditures
Research expenditures are currently not capitalized but are reflected in the income statement because the criteria for capitalization are not met. At each balance sheet date, the Company estimates the level of service performed by the vendors and the associated costs incurred for the services performed.
Although we do not expect the estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, the understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and could result in reporting amounts that are too high or too low in any particular period.
The condensed consolidated 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 financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.
5. Cash and Cash Equivalents
At June 30, 2018, the Company's cash and equivalents were 32,968,000 as compared to 48,099,000 at December 31, 2017. A significant portion of the cash balance is denominated in US dollars. The cash balances are held at banks with investment grade credit ratings. The cash at banks is at full disposal of the Company.
6. Current liabilities
At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the other current liabilities consisted principally of accruals for services provided by vendors not yet billed and other miscellaneous liabilities.

Due to the operating losses incurred since inception the Company has no tax provisions as of the balance sheet date. Furthermore, no significant temporary differences exist between accounting and tax results.

Accordingly, the Company has not yet recognized any deferred tax asset related to operating losses.

No significant events have occurred after balance sheet date.
