Operating costs declined in the half year.

G&A expenses were largely stable at CHF’ thousands (1,069), compared with CHF’ thousands (1,056), and were primarily driven by staff costs and professional fees.
The principal offset to the lower operating loss was the share of net loss of associates, which increased to CHF’ thousands (2,331) from CHF’ thousands (2,079).
