Basis of Preparation - Consolidated Financial Statements | 2. Basis of preparation – consolidated financial statements Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS). The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the management board on March 25, 2019. Basis of measurement The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments measured at fair value (see note 12) and monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies which are translated at period-end exchange rates. The Group did not opt for a valuation of liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Consolidation The Group controls an entity when it has power over the investee, is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. A subsidiary is consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. It is de-consolidated from the date control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Functional and presentation currency The consolidated financial statements are presented in euro, which is also the subsidiaries’ functional currency. All financial information presented in euro has been rounded to the nearest thousand (abbreviated €) or million (abbreviated € million). Presentation of consolidated statements of comprehensive loss As a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with a primary focus on research and development activities, cost of sales and gross profit are not considered meaningful measures for Affimed and therefore are not presented. See note 3 for the Group’s accounting policies related to revenue recognition and research and development expenses. Foreign currency transactions Transactions denominated in currencies other than the euro are translated at exchange rates at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the euro are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortized cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Foreign currency gains or losses that relate to borrowings, cash and cash equivalents and financial assets, except for financial instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are presented in the statement of comprehensive loss within ‘Finance income / (costs) - net’. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive loss within ‘Other income – net’. |

Significant Accounting Policies | |
Significant Accounting Policies | 3. Significant accounting policies The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. Revenue recognition The Group generates revenues from the provision of research and development services to third parties based on both Group and third party owned intellectual property. Such services are performed on a “best efforts” basis without a guarantee of technological or commercial success. For some research programs, Affimed entered into collaborations with other companies that provides the Group with funding or other resources such as access to technologies. From time to time, the Group also licenses its intellectual property to third parties who use it to develop product candidates. Collaboration and license agreements are evaluated to determine whether they involve multiple promises that represent separate performance obligations. Such agreements may comprise more than one research program, platform licenses or intellectual property licenses originally generated by the Group. Usually each of those promises is considered to meet the definition of a separate performance obligation. The total consideration is generally allocated to separate performance obligations based on relative stand-alone selling prices. Usually sales prices for research and development activities and licenses are not directly observable or highly variable across customers. Therefore, we use estimation techniques to determine stand-alone selling prices for such services and licenses. The stand-alone selling prices for research activities are determined based on an expected cost plus a margin approach. For licenses of intangible assets where little or no incremental costs are incurred in providing such licenses a residual approach is used. Performance obligations from research programs are satisfied over time because the work performed by the Group either enhances a license that the customer already controls or because the work does not result in an asset with an alternative use for the Group due to contractual restrictions. Therefore, revenue for such performance obligations is recognized according to the stage of completion measured by reference to costs incurred in relation to anticipated total costs of the research program. Platform licenses or intellectual property licenses originally generated by the Group are recognized at a point in time if their nature is a right to use the intellectual property as it exists at the point in time at which the license is granted. This is usually the case when there is no significant continuing involvement by the Group. In these cases, revenue is recognized when control of the license is transferred. Control is considered to be transferred when the customer received all necessary documents and information to begin to use and benefit from the license. Platform licenses or intellectual property licenses originally generated by the Group are recognized over time if their nature is to access the intellectual property as it exists throughout the license period. This might be the case when there is significant continuing involvement by the Group. In these cases, revenue is recognized on a straight line basis until the use of the license by the customer ends. Payments received from customers commonly include non-refundable upfront payments that are initially recognized as a contract liability, and subsequently recognized as revenue as the related performance obligation is fulfilled. The Group concluded that non-refundable upfront payments do not include financing components because the advance payments arise for reasons other than the provision of financing. In addition, payment terms may also include payments to be received from customers at a later point in time upon the achievement of certain milestones. Milestone payments are contingent upon the achievement of contractually stipulated targets. The achievement of these targets or milestones depends largely on meeting specific requirements laid out in the respective agreement. Milestone payments are included in the transaction price when it is highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the milestone is subsequently resolved. In the Group’s view uncertainty is sufficiently resolved only when the milestone is reached. Reaching a milestone will result in a cumulative catch up of revenue for the performance to date. The Group distinguishes development and registration milestones and sales based milestones. Whereas development and registration milestone payments are generally recognized on reaching the defined milestones, revenues for sales based milestones are recognized on achievement of contractually stipulated underlying revenues. Research and development Costs incurred related to research activities are expensed in the period when they are incurred. Costs incurred on development projects are recognized as intangible assets beginning on the date it can be established that it is probable that future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the Group considering its technological and commercial feasibility. Given the current stage of the development of the Group’s candidates and technologies, no development expenditures have been capitalized in any of the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. Intellectual property-related costs for patents are part of the expenditure for the research and development projects. Therefore, registration costs for patents are recognized as expensed when incurred as long as the research and development project concerned does not meet the criteria for capitalization. Employee benefits (i) Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under a short-term cash bonus, if (a) the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and (b) the obligation can be estimated reliably. (ii) Share-based payment transactions The Group’s share-based payment awards outstanding as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, are classified as equity-settled share-based plans. The fair value of share-based equity-settled awards granted to employees is measured at grant date and compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity. Share-based payment awards with non-employees are measured and recognized when services are received. Fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton formula. The formula determines the value of an option based on input parameters like the value of the underlying instrument, the exercise price, the expected volatility of share price returns, dividends, the risk-free interest rate, the expected forfeiture rate and the time to maturity of the option. The number of stock options expected to vest is estimated at each measurement date. Government grants The Group receives certain government grants that support its research effort in specific projects. These grants are generally provided in the form of reimbursement of approved costs incurred as defined in the respective grants. Income in respect of grants also includes contributions towards the costs of research and development. Income is recognized when costs under each grant are incurred in accordance with the terms and conditions of the grant and the collectability of the receivable is reasonably assured. Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognized in the income statement over the period necessary to match them with the costs they are intended to compensate. When the cash in relation to recognized government grants is not yet received the amount is included as a receivable on the statement of financial position. The Group recognizes income from government grants under ‘Other income - net’ in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. Lease payments Payments made under operating leases are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Finance income and finance costs Finance income comprises interest income from interest bearing bank deposits. Interest income is recognized as it accrues using the effective interest method. Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings and, in 2016, includes losses from early extinguishment of debt. Financial instruments A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. (i) Non-derivative financial assets The Group’s non-derivative financial assets include preferred shares in Amphivena, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit at banks with original maturities of more than three months. Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Those debt instruments are hold to collect solely payments of principal and interest. The Group decided to not apply the fair value through OCI option for those instruments. They are included in current assets and are subsequently carried at amortized cost. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with original maturities of three months or less. The Group holds preferred shares in Amphivena designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (see note 12) (ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities The Group’s classes of financial liabilities are borrowings and trade and other payables. The Group initially recognizes non-derivative financial liabilities on the date that they are originated and measures them at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire. (iii) Compound financial instruments The Group entered into certain loan agreements pursuant to which it issued warrants to purchase common shares of the Group at the option of the respective holders (see note 17). The number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value. The liability component of the loans was recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability without a warrant. The equity component was recognized initially at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition. In 2017, the Group held a convertible note agreement (see note 12). The Group designated the combined contract consisting of the loan component and the conversion feature embedded in the loan agreement at fair value through profit and loss and recognized changes of fair value re-measured on a recurring basis in ‘Finance income / (costs) – net.’ In December 2018, the notes were converted into shares As at December 31, 2017, in connection with the convertible note described above, the Group received warrants to purchase common shares of Amphivena Therapeutics Inc., South San Francisco, USA (“Amphivena”) at a specified price (see note 12). Initially, the warrants were recognized at fair value. Subsequently the fair value was re-measured on a recurring basis with changes recognized in ‘Finance income / (costs) – net.’ In 2018, the warrants were cancelled. Impairment (i) Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables at amortized cost are subject to the expected credit loss model according to IFRS 9. The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk associated with the industry and country in which customers operate. Affimed determines the counterparties’ lifetime expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument based on an estimated rating and corresponding probability of default rates according to the Bloomberg database. In addition, trade and other receivables are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that they are impaired. Trade or other receivables are impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the receivable, and such loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that receivable that can be estimated reliably. Loss events include indications that a debtor is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization. All receivables are assessed for specific impairment. Losses are recognized in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against receivables. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. No impairments or reversals of impairments were recognized in 2016, 2017 or 2018. (ii) Intangible assets and leasehold improvements and equipment Assets that are subject to depreciation or amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which an asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Non- financial assets that were previously impaired are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. Income taxes Income taxes comprise current and deferred tax. Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and adjustments to taxes payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for temporary differences associated with assets and liabilities if the transaction which led to their initial recognition is a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented net if there is a legally enforceable right to offset. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Fair Value Measurement All assets and liabilities for which fair value is recognized in the consolidated financial statements are classified in accordance with the following fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input parameter that is significant on the whole for fair value measurement: · Level 1 – Prices for identical assets or liabilities quoted in active markets (non-adjusted) · Level 2 – Measurement procedures, in which the lowest level input parameter significant on the whole for fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable for on the market · Level 3 – Measurement procedures, in which the lowest level input parameter significant on the whole for fair value measurement is not directly or indirectly observable for on the market The carrying amount of all trade and other receivables, certificates of deposit, cash and cash equivalents and trade and other payables is a reasonable approximation of the fair value and therefore information about the fair values of those financial instruments has not been disclosed. The measurement of the fair value of the shares held by the group and note disclosure for the fair value of a loan (financial liability) is based on level 2 measurement procedures (see notes 12 and 17). Loss per share Loss per common share is calculated by dividing the loss of the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Group has granted warrants under certain loan agreements (see note 17) and options under share-based payment programs (see note 16) which potentially have a dilutive effect; no instruments actually had a dilutive effect. Critical judgments and accounting estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. In preparing these financial statements, the critical judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies resulted in the following accounting estimates : (i) Share-based payments The fair value of stock options issued by Affimed N.V. is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton formula. The formula determines the value of an option based on input parameters like the value of the underlying instrument, the exercise price, the expected volatility of share price returns, dividends, the risk-free interest rate and the time to maturity of the option. The fair value of share-based equity-settled compensation plans is measured at grant date and compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity. The number of stock options expected to vest is estimated at each measurement date. On April 20, 2018, Affimed issued 240,000 options under its share-based-payment program, the vesting of which deviates from the standard 3‑year vesting scheme and depends upon a market parameter, which is the average price of Affimed shares during a certain period of time as described in Note 16. Incorporating the market condition in the fair value estimate requires the use of a simulation technique, which implies a higher uncertainty with regard to the estimated fair value. The Group determined the fair value of the awards at grant date to be €133. (ii) Revenue recognition The Group’s contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. Judgment is required in determining whether a good or service is considered a separate performance obligation. If standalone selling prices are not directly observable, the Group allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations by reference to the expected cost plus a margin. In doing so, observable input data such as internal project plans and margins are used. Elements of consideration in collaboration and license agreements are non-refundable up-front research funding payments, technology access fees and milestone payments. Generally, the Group has continuing performance obligations and therefore up-front payments are initially recognized as a contract liability, and the related revenues are subsequently recognized as the related performance obligation is fulfilled. Technology access fees are generally initially recognized as a contract liability and subsequently recognized over the expected term of the research service agreement on a straight-line basis. The Group estimates that the achievement of a milestone reflects a stage of completion under the terms of the agreements and recognizes revenue when a milestone is achieved as then the uncertainty is resolved. If the research service is cancelled due to technical failure, the remaining contract liability from non-refundable upfront payments, if any, is recognized as revenue. The determination of whether a performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time versus over time might also requires judgment. (iii) Accrued expenses The Group obtains services from third parties who do not always invoice their (partial) performance as per the balance sheet date. If the Group is not invoiced or otherwise notified of the actual accrued cost for the services as of the reporting date, the amount of the services performed as of the balance sheet date has to be estimated. For this purpose, the Group periodically confirms the accuracy of its estimates with the service providers. (iv) Financial instruments The Group recognized its preferred shares in Amphivena at fair value (level 2) as a long-term financial asset. As Amphivena is not a public company substantial judgment was required in estimating the fair value as at December 31, 2018 (see note 12). The Group based its judgment on information available for the valuation of the shares of Amphivena in its latest private financing in December 2018. New standards and interpretations applied for the first time The following amendments to standards and new or amended interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, and have been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements: Standard/interpretation Effective Date 1 IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers January 1, 2018 IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2014) January 1, 2018 Amendments to IFRS 2: Classification and Measurement of Share- based Payment Transactions January 1, 2018 Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2014 ‑ 2016 Cycle (IFRS 1, IAS 28) January 1, 2018 1. Shall apply for periods beginning on or after the date shown in the effective date column. The nature and effect of the application of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 are summarized below. The other amendments had no effect on the interim consolidated financial statements of the Group. IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments) Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 have been applied retrospectively with any differences in the carrying amounts arising from the transition being recognized in equity as at January 1, 2018. Classification The standard contains a new classification and measurement approach for financial instruments that reflects the business model in which assets are managed and their cash flow characteristics. Based on the new measurement requirements, Affimed recognized its shares in Amphivena at fair value, which were previously recognized at amortized cost according to IAS 39. The transition effect increased other comprehensive income by €7.3 million as of January 1, 2018 (see note 12). The Group classified the shares as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Future changes in fair value will be recognized in other comprehensive income, dividends will be recognized as income in profit or loss. Combined financial instruments are measured at fair value with changes therein recognized as finance income / (costs). Impairment The newly introduced impairment rules replace the ‘incurred loss’ model in IAS 39 with a forward looking ‘expected credit loss’ (“ECL”) model. This requires considerable judgement as to how changes in economic factors affect ECLs, which will be determined on a probability-weighted basis. Under IFRS 9, the Group has decided to measure loss allowances on the following basis: - Cash and cash equivalents and financial assets: The Group determines the counterparties’ 12‑month ECLs that result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date based on the probability of default according to the Bloomberg database. - Trade receivables: The Group determines the counterparties’ lifetime ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument based on an estimated rating and corresponding probability of default rates according to the Bloomberg database. Based on this methodology, incurred losses on cash and cash equivalents and on trade and other receivables as of January 1, 2018 had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements. IFRS 15 (Revenue from contracts with customers) IFRS 15 (Revenue from contracts with customers) establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programs. The Group analyzed its collaboration agreements and service contracts in the scope of IFRS 15 to identify performance obligations and an appropriate revenue recognition pattern. The Group concluded that IFRS 15 has no impact on the revenue recognition policy and revenue from current collaboration and service agreements which is recognized according to the stage of completion. No differences between the previously applied IASs and IFRS 15 for all open contracts as of December 31, 2017 were noted. Therefore, no transition effect as of January 1, 2018 was recorded. New standards and interpretations not yet adopted The following new standards and amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2018, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Standard/Amendment Effective Date 1 IFRS 16 Leases January 1, 2019 Amendments to IFRS 9: Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation January 1, 2019 Amendments to IAS 28: Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures January 1, 2019 Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2015 ‑ 2017 Cycle January 1, 2019 Amendments to IAS 19: Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement January 1, 2019 Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of Material January 1, 2020 1. Shall apply for periods beginning on or after the date shown in the effective date column. IFRS 16 (Leases) The new standard specifies how to recognize, measure, present and disclose lease agreements. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Affimed will be required to recognize “right-of-use” assets related to its premises rented and certain equipment leased. The Group has completed an assessment of the impact of IFRS 16 on its consolidated financial statements and has identified the Group’s leases including contractual payments, renewal options, and other terms. The most significant impact identified is that the Group will recognize new assets and liabilities for its operating leases of office space and research and development facilities. Based on the information currently available, the Group estimates that it will recognize right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of approximately €0.7 million as at January 1, 2019. The other amended standards are not expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group. |

Revenue | 5. Revenue Collaboration agreement with Amphivena Until July 2016, Affimed was party to a collaboration with Amphivena. The purpose of the collaboration was the development of a product candidate for hematological malignancies. The collaboration included a License and Development Agreement between Amphivena and Affimed, which expired when Amphivena obtained the approval of an investigational new drug application (IND) from the FDA in July 2016. Pursuant to the license and development agreement between Affimed and Amphivena, Affimed granted a license to intellectual property and agreed to perform certain services for Amphivena related to the development of a product candidate for hematological malignancies. In consideration for the research and development work that was performed, Amphivena was required to pay to Affimed service fees totaling approximately €16 million payable according to the achievement of milestones and phase progressions as described under the license and development agreement. Since the expiration of the agreement, the parties have been closing out the collaboration by exchanging documentation and transferring materials and third-party contracts. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, the Company recognized revenue upon achievement of milestones and for the performance of research and development services (net of Affimed’s share in funding Amphivena) totaling €3.4 million and €0.2 million, respectively. Collaboration agreement The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) Affimed is party to a collaboration with LLS to fund the development of a specific product candidates (immune cell engagers). Under the terms of the agreement, LLS has agreed to contribute up to $4.4 million contingent upon the achievement of certain milestones. In the event that the research and development is successful, Affimed must proceed with commercialization of the licensed product. If Affimed decides for business reasons not to continue the commercialization, Affimed must at its option either repay the amount funded or grant a license to LLS to enable LLS to continue with the development program. In addition, LLS is entitled to receive royalties from Affimed based on the Group’s future revenue from any licensed product, with the amount of royalties not to exceed three times the amount funded. In June 2016, the research funding agreement with LLS was amended to reflect a shift to the development of combination therapeutic approaches so that the milestones now relate primarily to the development of a combination therapy. During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, the Group achieved several milestones and recognized revenue totaling €0.4 million, €0.2 million and €0.2 million, respectively. Collaboration with Genentech Inc. In August 2018, Affimed entered into a strategic collaboration agreement with Genentech Inc., headquartered in South San Francisco, USA. Under the terms of the agreement Affimed will develop novel NK cell engager-based immunotherapeutics to treat multiple cancers. The Genentech agreement became effective at the beginning of October 2018. Under the terms of the agreement, Affimed received $96.0 million (€83.2 million) in an initial upfront payment and committed funding on October 31, 2018. The Group recognized €21.8 million as revenue in 2018 and €61.4 million under contract liabilities, which will be recognized as revenue in subsequent periods. Under the terms of the agreement, Affimed is eligible to receive up to an additional $5.0 billion over time, including payments upon achievement of specified development, regulatory and commercial milestones. Affimed is also eligible to receive royalties on any potential sales. Research service agreements AbCheck has entered into certain research service agreements. These research service agreements provide for non-refundable upfront technology access research funding or capacity reservation fees and milestone payments.

As of December 31, 2018 deferred tax liabilities from temporary differences result mainly from borrowings (€75; 2017: €152) and long term financial assets (€774). Deferred tax assets from differences resulting from trade and other receivables (€334; 2017: €259), intangible assets (€415; 2017: €405) and trade and other payables (€27; 2017: €17) have not been recognized as deferred tax assets as no sufficient future taxable profits or offsetting deferred tax liabilities are available. A reconciliation between actual income taxes and the expected tax benefit from the loss before tax multiplied by the Group’s applicable tax rate is presented below for the years ended December 31: Loss before tax (19,476) (30,243) (32,274) Income tax benefit at tax rate of 29.825 % 5,809 9,020 9,626 Adjustments due to impairment of deferred tax assets (5,318) (9,036) (8,747) Permanent differences (462) (93) (948) Adjustments for local tax rates (34) 195 12 Non deductible expenses (53) 16 154 Other 57 (82) (38) Income taxes (1) 20 58 In Germany, Affimed has tax losses carried forward of €163.8 million (2017: €146.8 million) for corporate income tax purposes and of €163.4 million (2017: €146.4 million) for trade tax purposes that are available indefinitely for offsetting against future taxable profits of that entity. Restrictions on the utilization of tax losses in case of a change of control of ownership in Affimed were mitigated by the enactment of the Economic Growth Acceleration Act ( Wachstumsbeschleunigungsgesetz 2009 ). According to the provisions of this act unused tax losses of a corporation as at the date of a qualified change in ownership are preserved to the extent they are compensated by an excess of the fair value of equity for tax purposes above its carrying amount of the Group. The maximum amount of tax losses at risk of being lost due to ownership changes is approximately €59 million. Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of any losses carried forward as no sufficient taxable profits of Affimed are expected. Tax losses of Abcheck amount to €423 as at December 31, 2018. |

Share Based Payments | 16. Share based payments In 2014, an equity-settled share-based payment program was established by Affimed N.V. (ESOP 2014). Under this program, the Group granted awards to certain members of the Management Board, the Supervisory Board, non-employee consultants and employees. Share based payments with service condition The majority of the awards vest in installments over three years and can be exercised up to 10 years after the grant date. The Group granted 1,436,075 awards in 2017 and 2,332,296 awards in 2018 to employees, the Management Board and others providing similar services (certain consultants). In 2018, 424,688 ESOP 2014 awards were cancelled or forfeited due to termination of employment or termination of consulting agreements with non-employees (2017: 399,552), and 40,038 ESOP 2014 awards were exercised in 2018 at an average exercise price of $1.98. As of December 31, 2018, 5,948,438 ESOP 2014 awards were outstanding (December 31, 2017: 4,080,868), 2,814,547 awards (December 31, 2017: 2,001,264) were vested. The options outstanding at December 31, 2018 had an exercise price in the range of $1.30 to $13.47 (2017: $1.80 to $13.47) and weighted average remaining contractual life of 9.3 years (2017: 8.4 years). In 2018, the Group estimated an annual forfeiture rate of 4.0% for unvested options. Share based payments with market condition On April 20, 2018, Affimed issued 240,000 options, of which each grant consists of three tranches that vest when the volume-weighted average share price (measured based on Affimed closing share prices over the preceding fifteen trading days) reaches a certain hurdle ($6.15, $8.20 and $10.25). Fair value of the awards at grant date amounts to €133 ($164 thousand) and the contractual life time of the options is two years. As at December 31, 2018 no options were exercisable. Share based payment expense In 2018, an expense of €2,035 was recognized affecting research and development expenses (€852) and general and administrative expenses (€1,183). In 2017, an expense of €1.943 was recognized affecting research and development expenses (€522) and general and administrative expenses (€1,421). In 2016, an expense of €3,545 was recognized affecting research and development expenses (€1,178) and general and administrative expenses (€2,367). Fair value measurement The fair value of options was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The significant inputs into the valuation model of share based payment grants with service conditions are as follows (weighted average): Fair value at grant date $ 1.20 $ 1.10 Share price at grant date $ 1.91 $ 2.00 Exercise price $ 1.92 $ 2.03 Expected volatility 72 % 70 % Expected life 5.90 5.90 Expected dividends 0.00 0.00 Risk-free interest rate 0.34 % (0.23) % Expected volatility is estimated based on the observed daily share price returns of a peer group measured over a historic period equal to the expected life of the awards. |

Borrowings | 17. Borrowings Silicon Valley Bank On November 30, 2016, the Group entered into a loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “SVB loan”) which provides the Group with a senior secured term loan facility originally for up to €10.0 million, which agreement was amended in May 2017 to provide that such amount would be available in three tranches. In December 2016, the Group drew an initial tranche of €5.0 million and in May 2017, a second tranche of €2.5 million; the availability of a third tranche of €2.5 million expired in September 2017 with such amount remaining undrawn. Finance costs comprise the interest rate of one-month EURIBOR plus an applicable margin of 5.5%, with a floor of 5.5%, related one-time legal and arrangement fees of €236 and a final payment fee equal to 10% of the total principal amount to be paid with the last instalment. Pursuant to the loan agreement, the Group also granted the lender 166,297 and 53,395 warrants with an exercise price of $2.00 and $2.30 per share, respectively. Each warrant can be used to purchase common shares of Affimed at the respective exercise price for a period of ten years from the grant date. The fair value of the warrants of €192 less deferred taxes and transaction costs of €81 and €8, respectively, was recorded as an addition to capital reserves in equity. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model, with an expected volatility of 75‑80% and an expected exercise period of five years to exercise of the warrant. The contractual maturity of the warrants is ten years. The loan is secured by a pledge of 100% of Group’s ownership interest in Affimed GmbH, all intercompany claims owed to Affimed N.V. by its subsidiaries, and collateral agreements for all bank accounts, inventory, trade receivables and other receivables of Affimed N.V. and Affimed GmbH recognized in the consolidated financial statements with the following book values: Book value as of December 31, Book value as of December 31, 2018 2017 Consolidated thereof Consolidated financial assets financial thereof assets statements pledged statements pledged Leasehold improvements and equipment 1,414 1,174 1,113 891 Inventories 260 235 241 219 Trade and other receivables 1,429 1,007 1,102 328 Other assets 387 — 800 292 Financial assets 13,974 13,974 — — Cash and cash equivalents 94,829 92,933 39,837 38,726 112,293 109,323 43,093 40,456 As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the fair value of the liability did not differ significantly from its carrying amount (€4,773 and €7,169). The loan has a maturity date of May 31, 2020, repayment started in December 2017 with amortized payments of principal and interest in equal monthly installments. As of December 31, 2018, €3,083 (2017: €3,083) were classified as current liabilities. |

Financial Risk Management | 21. Financial risk management (i) Financial risk management objectives and policies The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit at commercial banks, a convertible loan, warrants and investor loans presented in borrowings. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise funds for the Group’s operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade and other receivables and trade and other payables, which arise directly from its operations. The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are credit risk and liquidity risk. The measures taken by management to manage each of these risks are summarized below. (ii) Credit risk The Group’s financial assets comprise to a large extent cash and cash equivalents. In addition, financial assets include shares, certificates of deposit, trade and other receivables and in 2017, a convertible loan and warrants. The total carrying amount of shares (€3.8 million), cash and cash equivalents (€94.8 million, 2017: €39.8 million), trade and other receivables (€1.4 million, 2017: €1.1 million), certificates of deposit (€14.0 million) and in 2017, convertible notes and warrants of Amphivena (€0.3 million), represents the maximum credit exposure of €114.1 million (2017: €41.2 million). The cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit are held with banks, which are rated BBB+ to AA- based on Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s. (iii) Interest rate risk The Group’s interest rate risk arises from cash accounts and long-term borrowings at variable rates. Affimed entered into the SVB loan pursuant to which the Group borrowed €7.5 million with an outstanding balance of 4.8 million as at December 31, 2018, with a variable interest rate of an annual rate of 5.5% plus one-month EURIBOR, with EURIBOR deemed to equal zero percent if EURIBOR is less than zero percent. The Group does not expect the EURIBOR to exceed the floor of 0% within the foreseeable future, and considers the interest risk to be low. Market interest rates on cash and cash equivalents as well as on term deposits were low in 2018, resulting in interest income of € 264 in 2018. A shift in interest rates (increase or decrease) would not have a material impact on the loss of the Group. (iv) Other price risks The fair value of the shares in Amphivena depends on the share price. The total exposure of the Group amounts to €3.8 million. (v) Foreign currency risk Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The Group’s entities are exposed to Czech Koruna (CZK) and US Dollars (USD) and British Pound (GBP). The net exposure as of December 31, 2018 was €47,524 (2017: €18,768) and mainly relates to US Dollars. In 2018, if the Euro had weakened/strengthened by 10% against the US dollar with all other variables held constant, the loss would have been €4,787 (2017: €1,887) higher/lower, mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of US dollar-denominated financial assets. The Group considers a shift in the exchange rates of 10% as a realistic scenario. Loss is more sensitive to movement in exchange rates shifts in 2018 than in 2017 because of the increased volume of US dollar-denominated transactions. The following significant exchange rates have been applied during the year: CZK or CZK or CZK or USD/EUR USD/EUR USD/EUR CZK - Average Rate 0.03899 0.03799 0.03699 CZK - Spot rate 0.03887 0.03916 0.03701 USD - Average Rate 0.84674 0.88519 0.90404 USD - Spot rate 0.87336 0.83382 0.94868 (vi) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulties in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities which are normally settled by delivering cash. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. The Group continually monitors its risk of a shortage of funds using short and mid-term liquidity planning. This takes account of the expected cash flows from all activities. The supervisory board undertakes regular reviews of the budget. In 2016, 2017 and February 2018, Affimed raised significant funding that it estimates will enable the Group to fund operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into 2021. In 2015, the Group has entered into an at-the-market sales agreement with Cowen & Group, LLC under which €5.1 million in net proceeds has been raised in 2017. In 2017, the Group issued 10,646,762 common shares in a public offering at a price of $1.80 per common share for net proceeds of €16.4 million. In 2018, the Group issued 13,225,000 common shares in a public offering at a price of $2.00 per common share for net proceeds of approximately €19.7 million and 2,373,716 common shares in connection with its at-the-market sales agreement for net proceeds of €3.8 million (see note 15). The Group expects to require additional funding to complete the development of the existing product candidates. In addition, the Group expects to require additional capital to commercialize the products if regulatory approval is received. (vii) Capital management The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains its liquidity in order to finance its operating activities and meet its liabilities when due. The Group manages its capital structure primarily through equity. |

Significant Accounting Policies Policies | |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue recognition The Group generates revenues from the provision of research and development services to third parties based on both Group and third party owned intellectual property. Such services are performed on a “best efforts” basis without a guarantee of technological or commercial success. For some research programs, Affimed entered into collaborations with other companies that provides the Group with funding or other resources such as access to technologies. From time to time, the Group also licenses its intellectual property to third parties who use it to develop product candidates. Collaboration and license agreements are evaluated to determine whether they involve multiple promises that represent separate performance obligations. Such agreements may comprise more than one research program, platform licenses or intellectual property licenses originally generated by the Group. Usually each of those promises is considered to meet the definition of a separate performance obligation. The total consideration is generally allocated to separate performance obligations based on relative stand-alone selling prices. Usually sales prices for research and development activities and licenses are not directly observable or highly variable across customers. Therefore, we use estimation techniques to determine stand-alone selling prices for such services and licenses. The stand-alone selling prices for research activities are determined based on an expected cost plus a margin approach. For licenses of intangible assets where little or no incremental costs are incurred in providing such licenses a residual approach is used. Performance obligations from research programs are satisfied over time because the work performed by the Group either enhances a license that the customer already controls or because the work does not result in an asset with an alternative use for the Group due to contractual restrictions. Therefore, revenue for such performance obligations is recognized according to the stage of completion measured by reference to costs incurred in relation to anticipated total costs of the research program. Platform licenses or intellectual property licenses originally generated by the Group are recognized at a point in time if their nature is a right to use the intellectual property as it exists at the point in time at which the license is granted. This is usually the case when there is no significant continuing involvement by the Group. In these cases, revenue is recognized when control of the license is transferred. Control is considered to be transferred when the customer received all necessary documents and information to begin to use and benefit from the license. Platform licenses or intellectual property licenses originally generated by the Group are recognized over time if their nature is to access the intellectual property as it exists throughout the license period. This might be the case when there is significant continuing involvement by the Group. In these cases, revenue is recognized on a straight line basis until the use of the license by the customer ends. Payments received from customers commonly include non-refundable upfront payments that are initially recognized as a contract liability, and subsequently recognized as revenue as the related performance obligation is fulfilled. The Group concluded that non-refundable upfront payments do not include financing components because the advance payments arise for reasons other than the provision of financing. In addition, payment terms may also include payments to be received from customers at a later point in time upon the achievement of certain milestones. Milestone payments are contingent upon the achievement of contractually stipulated targets. The achievement of these targets or milestones depends largely on meeting specific requirements laid out in the respective agreement. Milestone payments are included in the transaction price when it is highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the milestone is subsequently resolved. In the Group’s view uncertainty is sufficiently resolved only when the milestone is reached. Reaching a milestone will result in a cumulative catch up of revenue for the performance to date. The Group distinguishes development and registration milestones and sales based milestones. Whereas development and registration milestone payments are generally recognized on reaching the defined milestones, revenues for sales based milestones are recognized on achievement of contractually stipulated underlying revenues. |
Research and Development | Research and development Costs incurred related to research activities are expensed in the period when they are incurred. Costs incurred on development projects are recognized as intangible assets beginning on the date it can be established that it is probable that future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the Group considering its technological and commercial feasibility. Given the current stage of the development of the Group’s candidates and technologies, no development expenditures have been capitalized in any of the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. Intellectual property-related costs for patents are part of the expenditure for the research and development projects. Therefore, registration costs for patents are recognized as expensed when incurred as long as the research and development project concerned does not meet the criteria for capitalization. |
Employee Benefits | Employee benefits (i) Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under a short-term cash bonus, if (a) the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and (b) the obligation can be estimated reliably. (ii) Share-based payment transactions The Group’s share-based payment awards outstanding as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, are classified as equity-settled share-based plans. The fair value of share-based equity-settled awards granted to employees is measured at grant date and compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity. Share-based payment awards with non-employees are measured and recognized when services are received. Fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton formula. The formula determines the value of an option based on input parameters like the value of the underlying instrument, the exercise price, the expected volatility of share price returns, dividends, the risk-free interest rate, the expected forfeiture rate and the time to maturity of the option. The number of stock options expected to vest is estimated at each measurement date. |
Government Grants | Government grants The Group receives certain government grants that support its research effort in specific projects. These grants are generally provided in the form of reimbursement of approved costs incurred as defined in the respective grants. Income in respect of grants also includes contributions towards the costs of research and development. Income is recognized when costs under each grant are incurred in accordance with the terms and conditions of the grant and the collectability of the receivable is reasonably assured. Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognized in the income statement over the period necessary to match them with the costs they are intended to compensate. When the cash in relation to recognized government grants is not yet received the amount is included as a receivable on the statement of financial position. The Group recognizes income from government grants under ‘Other income - net’ in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. |
Lease Payments | Lease payments Payments made under operating leases are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. |
Finance Income and Finance Costs | Finance income and finance costs Finance income comprises interest income from interest bearing bank deposits. Interest income is recognized as it accrues using the effective interest method. Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings and, in 2016, includes losses from early extinguishment of debt. |
Financial Instruments | Financial instruments A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. (i) Non-derivative financial assets The Group’s non-derivative financial assets include preferred shares in Amphivena, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit at banks with original maturities of more than three months. Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Those debt instruments are hold to collect solely payments of principal and interest. The Group decided to not apply the fair value through OCI option for those instruments. They are included in current assets and are subsequently carried at amortized cost. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with original maturities of three months or less. The Group holds preferred shares in Amphivena designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (see note 12) (ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities The Group’s classes of financial liabilities are borrowings and trade and other payables. The Group initially recognizes non-derivative financial liabilities on the date that they are originated and measures them at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire. (iii) Compound financial instruments The Group entered into certain loan agreements pursuant to which it issued warrants to purchase common shares of the Group at the option of the respective holders (see note 17). The number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value. The liability component of the loans was recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability without a warrant. The equity component was recognized initially at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition. In 2017, the Group held a convertible note agreement (see note 12). The Group designated the combined contract consisting of the loan component and the conversion feature embedded in the loan agreement at fair value through profit and loss and recognized changes of fair value re-measured on a recurring basis in ‘Finance income / (costs) – net.’ In December 2018, the notes were converted into shares As at December 31, 2017, in connection with the convertible note described above, the Group received warrants to purchase common shares of Amphivena Therapeutics Inc., South San Francisco, USA (“Amphivena”) at a specified price (see note 12). Initially, the warrants were recognized at fair value. Subsequently the fair value was re-measured on a recurring basis with changes recognized in ‘Finance income / (costs) – net.’ In 2018, the warrants were cancelled. |
Impairment | Impairment (i) Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables at amortized cost are subject to the expected credit loss model according to IFRS 9. The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk associated with the industry and country in which customers operate. Affimed determines the counterparties’ lifetime expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument based on an estimated rating and corresponding probability of default rates according to the Bloomberg database. In addition, trade and other receivables are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that they are impaired. Trade or other receivables are impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the receivable, and such loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that receivable that can be estimated reliably. Loss events include indications that a debtor is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization. All receivables are assessed for specific impairment. Losses are recognized in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against receivables. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. No impairments or reversals of impairments were recognized in 2016, 2017 or 2018. (ii) Intangible assets and leasehold improvements and equipment Assets that are subject to depreciation or amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which an asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Non- financial assets that were previously impaired are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. |
Income Taxes | Income taxes Income taxes comprise current and deferred tax. Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and adjustments to taxes payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for temporary differences associated with assets and liabilities if the transaction which led to their initial recognition is a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented net if there is a legally enforceable right to offset. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. |
Fair Value Measurement | Fair Value Measurement All assets and liabilities for which fair value is recognized in the consolidated financial statements are classified in accordance with the following fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input parameter that is significant on the whole for fair value measurement: · Level 1 – Prices for identical assets or liabilities quoted in active markets (non-adjusted) · Level 2 – Measurement procedures, in which the lowest level input parameter significant on the whole for fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable for on the market · Level 3 – Measurement procedures, in which the lowest level input parameter significant on the whole for fair value measurement is not directly or indirectly observable for on the market The carrying amount of all trade and other receivables, certificates of deposit, cash and cash equivalents and trade and other payables is a reasonable approximation of the fair value and therefore information about the fair values of those financial instruments has not been disclosed. The measurement of the fair value of the shares held by the group and note disclosure for the fair value of a loan (financial liability) is based on level 2 measurement procedures (see notes 12 and 17). |
Loss Per Share | Loss per share Loss per common share is calculated by dividing the loss of the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Group has granted warrants under certain loan agreements (see note 17) and options under share-based payment programs (see note 16) which potentially have a dilutive effect; no instruments actually had a dilutive effect. |
Critical Judgments and Accounting Estimates | Critical judgments and accounting estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. In preparing these financial statements, the critical judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies resulted in the following accounting estimates : (i) Share-based payments The fair value of stock options issued by Affimed N.V. is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton formula. The formula determines the value of an option based on input parameters like the value of the underlying instrument, the exercise price, the expected volatility of share price returns, dividends, the risk-free interest rate and the time to maturity of the option. The fair value of share-based equity-settled compensation plans is measured at grant date and compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity. The number of stock options expected to vest is estimated at each measurement date. On April 20, 2018, Affimed issued 240,000 options under its share-based-payment program, the vesting of which deviates from the standard 3‑year vesting scheme and depends upon a market parameter, which is the average price of Affimed shares during a certain period of time as described in Note 16. Incorporating the market condition in the fair value estimate requires the use of a simulation technique, which implies a higher uncertainty with regard to the estimated fair value. The Group determined the fair value of the awards at grant date to be €133. (ii) Revenue recognition The Group’s contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. Judgment is required in determining whether a good or service is considered a separate performance obligation. If standalone selling prices are not directly observable, the Group allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations by reference to the expected cost plus a margin. In doing so, observable input data such as internal project plans and margins are used. Elements of consideration in collaboration and license agreements are non-refundable up-front research funding payments, technology access fees and milestone payments. Generally, the Group has continuing performance obligations and therefore up-front payments are initially recognized as a contract liability, and the related revenues are subsequently recognized as the related performance obligation is fulfilled. Technology access fees are generally initially recognized as a contract liability and subsequently recognized over the expected term of the research service agreement on a straight-line basis. The Group estimates that the achievement of a milestone reflects a stage of completion under the terms of the agreements and recognizes revenue when a milestone is achieved as then the uncertainty is resolved. If the research service is cancelled due to technical failure, the remaining contract liability from non-refundable upfront payments, if any, is recognized as revenue. The determination of whether a performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time versus over time might also requires judgment. (iii) Accrued expenses The Group obtains services from third parties who do not always invoice their (partial) performance as per the balance sheet date. If the Group is not invoiced or otherwise notified of the actual accrued cost for the services as of the reporting date, the amount of the services performed as of the balance sheet date has to be estimated. For this purpose, the Group periodically confirms the accuracy of its estimates with the service providers. (iv) Financial instruments The Group recognized its preferred shares in Amphivena at fair value (level 2) as a long-term financial asset. As Amphivena is not a public company substantial judgment was required in estimating the fair value as at December 31, 2018 (see note 12). The Group based its judgment on information available for the valuation of the shares of Amphivena in its latest private financing in December 2018. |
New Standards and Interpretations Applied for the First Time | New standards and interpretations applied for the first time The following amendments to standards and new or amended interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, and have been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements: Standard/interpretation Effective Date 1 IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers January 1, 2018 IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2014) January 1, 2018 Amendments to IFRS 2: Classification and Measurement of Share- based Payment Transactions January 1, 2018 Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2014 ‑ 2016 Cycle (IFRS 1, IAS 28) January 1, 2018 1. Shall apply for periods beginning on or after the date shown in the effective date column. The nature and effect of the application of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 are summarized below. The other amendments had no effect on the interim consolidated financial statements of the Group. IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments) Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 have been applied retrospectively with any differences in the carrying amounts arising from the transition being recognized in equity as at January 1, 2018. Classification The standard contains a new classification and measurement approach for financial instruments that reflects the business model in which assets are managed and their cash flow characteristics. Based on the new measurement requirements, Affimed recognized its shares in Amphivena at fair value, which were previously recognized at amortized cost according to IAS 39. The transition effect increased other comprehensive income by €7.3 million as of January 1, 2018 (see note 12). The Group classified the shares as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Future changes in fair value will be recognized in other comprehensive income, dividends will be recognized as income in profit or loss. Combined financial instruments are measured at fair value with changes therein recognized as finance income / (costs). Impairment The newly introduced impairment rules replace the ‘incurred loss’ model in IAS 39 with a forward looking ‘expected credit loss’ (“ECL”) model. This requires considerable judgement as to how changes in economic factors affect ECLs, which will be determined on a probability-weighted basis. Under IFRS 9, the Group has decided to measure loss allowances on the following basis: - Cash and cash equivalents and financial assets: The Group determines the counterparties’ 12‑month ECLs that result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date based on the probability of default according to the Bloomberg database. - Trade receivables: The Group determines the counterparties’ lifetime ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument based on an estimated rating and corresponding probability of default rates according to the Bloomberg database. Based on this methodology, incurred losses on cash and cash equivalents and on trade and other receivables as of January 1, 2018 had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements. IFRS 15 (Revenue from contracts with customers) IFRS 15 (Revenue from contracts with customers) establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programs. The Group analyzed its collaboration agreements and service contracts in the scope of IFRS 15 to identify performance obligations and an appropriate revenue recognition pattern. The Group concluded that IFRS 15 has no impact on the revenue recognition policy and revenue from current collaboration and service agreements which is recognized according to the stage of completion. No differences between the previously applied IASs and IFRS 15 for all open contracts as of December 31, 2017 were noted. Therefore, no transition effect as of January 1, 2018 was recorded. |
New Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted | New standards and interpretations not yet adopted The following new standards and amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2018, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Standard/Amendment Effective Date 1 IFRS 16 Leases January 1, 2019 Amendments to IFRS 9: Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation January 1, 2019 Amendments to IAS 28: Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures January 1, 2019 Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2015 ‑ 2017 Cycle January 1, 2019 Amendments to IAS 19: Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement January 1, 2019 Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of Material January 1, 2020 1. Shall apply for periods beginning on or after the date shown in the effective date column. IFRS 16 (Leases) The new standard specifies how to recognize, measure, present and disclose lease agreements. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Affimed will be required to recognize “right-of-use” assets related to its premises rented and certain equipment leased. The Group has completed an assessment of the impact of IFRS 16 on its consolidated financial statements and has identified the Group’s leases including contractual payments, renewal options, and other terms. The most significant impact identified is that the Group will recognize new assets and liabilities for its operating leases of office space and research and development facilities. Based on the information currently available, the Group estimates that it will recognize right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of approximately €0.7 million as at January 1, 2019. The other amended standards are not expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group. |
