Balance sheet
Funds available for financing the Company's operations amount to CHF 40.00 million as per December 31, 2013, and include cash and cash equivalents, financial assets and trade and other receivables. This is CHF 11.35 million higher than on December 31, 2012 (CHF 28.65 million). This net change is composed of a cash increase of CHF 31.23 million due to funds raised in the form of equity (CHF 24.60 million) and debt (CHF 6.63 million) as well as a payment of CHF 1.00 million from a collaboration partner and other payments of CHF 0.20 million. Cash decreased by CHF 1.10 million due to share capital issuance costs as well as funds (CHF 19.98 million) mainly spent on ongoing operating activities - in particular, the global clinical Phase 2b trial with CYT003 in allergic asthma.
As of December 31, 2013, convertible bonds with a nominal value of CHF 13.17 million are issued and outstanding, i.e. not held by the Company. These convertible bonds are due for repayment at 150% of par in February 2015 unless they are converted into equity.

About Cytos Biotechnology Ltd
Cytos is a public biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of targeted immuno-therapies. The Company's lead product candidate CYT003 is a novel, first-in-class, immune modulator in Phase 2 clinical development as a potential new treatment for asthma.
CYT003 has a novel mechanism of action that inhibits the immune response that causes asthma, and may therefore be beneficial for the control of asthma. In a successfully completed Phase 2a study, CYT003 was shown to maintain asthma control and lung function in patients with persistent allergic asthma, despite withdrawal of standard therapy with inhaled corticosteroids.
CYT003 has been shown to have a good safety and tolerability profile in more than 450 individuals receiving the active agent so far. Cytos was founded in 1995 as a spinoff from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. It is located in Schlieren (Zurich), Switzerland. The Company is listed according to the Main Standard on the SIX Swiss Exchange Ltd under the symbol CYTN.
