PALADIN LABS INC.

AUDITED ANNUAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2013


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Shareholder and Directors of

Paladin Labs Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Paladin Labs Inc., which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s responsibility for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Paladin Labs Inc. at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

December 31, 2013 and 2012

(In thousands of Canadian dollars except for share and per share amounts)

(All other currencies are in thousands)

1. PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Paladin Labs Inc., together with its subsidiaries, hereinafter referred to as “the Company”, is an international specialty pharmaceutical public listed company continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act, focused on researching, developing, acquiring, in-licensing, marketing and distributing innovative pharmaceutical products, medical devices and vaccines.

BASIS OF PREPARATION AND STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its subsidiaries, including the accounts of Litha Healthcare Group Limited (“Litha”) as of July 2, 2012 and Ativa Pharma S.A. subsequently renamed Laboratorios Paladin SA De CV (“Paladin Mexico”) as of January 1, 2013, the effective dates of acquisition (described in more detail in Note 5). These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) on a historical cost basis, except for items that are required to be accounted for at fair value and in accordance IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with those IFRS standards and International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (“IFRIC”) interpretations issued and effective or issued and early adopted as at the time of preparing these statements. The policies set out below have been consistently applied to all the periods presented.

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods. In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made judgments and estimates of which those determined to have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.

These consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 26, 2014.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Paladin Labs Inc. and all its subsidiaries (see Note 20). Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

Transactions and balances between subsidiaries are eliminated and no income is recognized on sales between subsidiaries until the products are sold to customers outside the Company. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies.

Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions with no effect on net income or on other comprehensive income.

As at December 31, 2013, the Company owned a 67.30% interest in Litha. Effective July 2, 2012 and as at December 31, 2012, the Company owned a 44.54% interest in Litha and through certain shareholder agreements representing 13.42% of Litha’s outstanding common shares the Company had control over more than half of the voting rights of Litha and, therefore, consolidated Litha.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND GOODWILL

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Company elects whether to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in administrative expenses.

When the Company acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the previously held equity interest is re-measured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

Goodwill (the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed) is initially measured at cost. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the gain is recognized in profit or loss.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the Company’s cash-generating units or group of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit (“CGU”) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in such circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the CGU retained.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in Canadian dollars (“CAD”), which is the parent Company’s functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded by the Company’s entities at their respective functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. At the balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the period-end rates of exchange. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the historical exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses arising from the translation of foreign currency items, except those related to available-for-sale securities which are reflected in other comprehensive income, are recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on retranslation of non-monetary items is treated in line with the recognition of gain or loss on change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or net income are also recognized in other comprehensive income or net income, respectively).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

 

Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the spot rate of exchange at the reporting date.

(c) Company’s subsidiaries

On consolidation the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into CAD at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of income are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognised in other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents comprise current balances with banks and similar institutions and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. They are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and have an insignificant risk of changes in value.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities consist of debt securities which are principally traded in liquid markets. Marketable securities that are classified as “available-for-sale” are initially measured at fair value with any resulting subsequent changes in the fair value being charged or credited to other comprehensive income and when ultimately sold to net income. Fair values for marketable securities are obtained using quoted active market prices for such securities.

TRADE RECEIVABLES

Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less any provisions for product returns, credits and doubtful accounts. Provisions for returns are made where the returns or exchange of products are allowed under the Company’s policy. Provisions for doubtful accounts are made where there is evidence of a risk of non-payment, taking into account ageing, previous experience and general economic conditions. When a trade receivable is determined to be uncollectable it is written off, firstly against any provision available and then to the consolidated statement of income. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously provided for are credited to the consolidated statement of income. Long-term receivables are discounted to current values using appropriate rates of interest.

INVENTORIES

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, and net realizable value. The cost of finished goods and work-in-progress includes direct costs and an allocation of overhead. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs of completion and applicable selling expenses.

INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES AND INTEREST IN A JOINT VENTURE

The Company accounts for investments in associates and its interest in a joint venture using the equity method. An associate is an entity in which the Company has significant influence. The Company has an interest in a joint venture, which is a jointly controlled entity, whereby the venturers have a contractual arrangement that establishes joint control over the economic activities of the entity. The arrangement requires unanimous agreement for financial and operating decisions among the venturers.

Investments in associates and the Company’s interest in a joint venture are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at the Company’s share of the associates’ and joint venture’s net assets at the date of acquisition and of its post-acquisition retained net income or losses, net of the amortization of fair value adjustments, taxation and dividends received. Goodwill relating to associates or joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investments and is neither amortized nor individually tested for impairment.

The consolidated statement of income reflects the share of the results of operations of the associates and the joint venture. Where there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the associate or joint venture, the Company recognizes its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and the associates or the joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associates or the joint venture.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

 

The share of net income from associates and the share of net income or loss from a joint venture is shown on the face of the consolidated statement of income less amortization and tax effect of fair value adjustments. This is the net income or loss attributable to shareholders of the associates and the joint venture and therefore is income after tax. When the Company’s share of losses in associates or a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the associates or joint venture the Company does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associates or joint venture.

The financial statements of the associates and joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies and classifications in line with those of the Company.

After application of the equity method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognize an additional impairment loss on the Company’s investment in its associates and interest in its joint venture. The Company determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate or the interest in the joint venture is impaired. If this is the case the Company calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate or joint venture and its carrying value and recognizes the amount in the “share of net income from associates” or “share of net income from the joint venture” in the consolidated statement of income.

Upon loss of significant influence or joint control over the associates or joint venture, the Company measures and recognizes any remaining investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associates or joint venture upon loss of significant influence or joint control and the fair value of the remaining investment and any proceeds from disposal is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSINITIAL RECOGNITION AND SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT

(a) Available-for-sale financial investments

Investments classified as available-for-sale are initially recorded at fair value plus transaction costs and then remeasured at subsequent reporting dates to fair value using quoted market prices, if available, or are carried at cost for investments held in private entities, where there are no quoted market prices in an active market. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments are recognized directly in equity as other comprehensive income in “Other capital reserves (deficit)” until the investment is sold, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is recognized in “Other finance expense” on the consolidated statement of income. Purchases and sales of available-for-sale investments are accounted for on the trade date. Impairments arising from the significant or prolonged decline in fair value of an investment reduce the carrying amount of the asset directly and are charged to the consolidated statement of income. Impairments on equity investments classified as available-for-sale are not reversed until disposal of the instrument. On disposal or impairment of the investments, any gains and losses that have been deferred in equity are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. On disposal of investments, fair value movements are reclassified from “Other capital reserves (deficit)” to the consolidated statement of income based on average cost for shares acquired at different times.

(b) Loans and receivables

Investments classified as loans and receivables are initially recorded at fair value with subsequent measurements recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less impairment, if any. The interest accretion is captured under “Other finance expense” on the consolidated statement of income.

(c) Derivative financial instruments

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk. Derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value with changes in the fair value being charged or credited to the consolidated statement of income under “Other finance expense” during the year. Fair value of conversion options within convertible term notes and common share purchase warrants are obtained using the Black-Scholes option pricing valuation model.

(d) Financial liabilities

Payables, accruals and provisions, other balances payable and long-term liabilities are classified as financial liabilities. They are initially measured at their fair value. Subsequent measurements are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The interest accretion is captured under “Other finance expense” on the consolidated statement of income.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

 

(e) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. Financial assets are impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted.

Objective evidence of impairment could include the following:

 

    Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty;

 

    Default or delinquency in interest or principal payments or it has become probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization;

 

    An adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of an asset; and

 

    Current or forecasted operating or cash flow losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with the use of an asset.

(f) Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) or financial liability is derecognized when:

 

    The rights/obligations to receive/disburse cash flows from the asset/liability have expired/discharged; and

 

    The Company has transferred its rights/obligations to receive/disburse cash flows from the asset/liability.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated impairment losses, if any. Historical cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated statement of income during the year in which they are incurred.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

 

Building under finance lease

   Over the life of the lease

Machinery and equipment

   2-20 years

Motor vehicles

   4-5 years

Computer equipment and software

   3-4 years

Furniture and fixtures

   2-3 years

The Company periodically reviews the useful lives and the carrying values of its property, plant and equipment and as a result the useful life of property, plant and equipment may be adjusted accordingly. On disposal of property, plant and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and impairments are removed from the consolidated financial statements and the net amount, less any proceeds, is included in the consolidated statement of income.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In the normal course of business, the Company secures development, sales, marketing and distribution rights to innovative and mature drug products. Intangible assets acquired are recorded at cost and consist primarily of pharmaceutical, product licenses and rights, intellectual property and process know-how covered by certain patented and non-patented information. Milestones and other license payments determined to have a high likelihood of attainment, subsequent to the regulatory approval of the product, are capitalized based upon the Company’s periodic review and assessment of the product’s expected performance. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the term of the agreement, the life of the patent or the expected useful life of the product once they are available for commercialization. The amortization terms generally range from 2 to 15 years. The Company periodically reviews the useful lives and the carrying values of its intangible assets. As a result, the useful life of intangible assets may be adjusted accordingly.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the CGU level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

 

IMPAIRMENT OF PROPERTY PLANT & EQUIPMENT, INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

The Company assesses at each reporting period whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. In addition, goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets which are not yet available for use, if any, are tested for impairment annually. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset, its CGU or group of CGUs, exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s, CGU’s or group of CGUs fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs. The Company uses value in use to determine the recoverable amount of the related asset, CGU or group of CGUs. For goodwill impairment testing purposes, the CGU that represents the lowest level within the Company at which management monitors goodwill is the operating segment level (Note 30).

The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Company’s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. Impairment losses are charged to the consolidated statement of income in the year concerned. Impairments of goodwill are not reversed. Impairment losses on property, plant & equipment and intangible assets are only reversed if there has been a change in estimates used to determine the recoverable amounts and only to the extent that the revised recoverable amounts do not exceed the carrying values that would have existed, net of depreciation or amortisation, had no impairments been recognized.

PAYABLES, ACCRUALS AND PROVISIONS

Payables, accruals and provisions are initially measured at fair value with subsequent measurement recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The recognized provisions are mostly related to business acquisitions and product-related agreement exposures and are part of the normal course of business.

LEASES

Leases are classified as either operating or finance, based on the substance of the transaction at inception of the lease. Classification is re-assessed if the terms of the lease are changed.

(a) Operating lease

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments under an operating lease (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognized in the consolidated statement of income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

(b) Finance lease

Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the Company are classified as finance leases. Assets meeting finance lease criteria are capitalized at the lower of the present value of the related lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease. Minimum lease payments are distributed between the finance charge and the liability. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

OTHER BALANCES PAYABLE

As part of acquisitions of intangible assets, the Company may assume obligations to pay out certain future contractually pre-defined amounts upon meeting specific timelines or specific regulatory or sales related milestones. These obligations are recorded when the likelihood of attainment is deemed probable and are initially measured at fair value with subsequent measurements recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The long-term portion of other balances payable are discounted to current values using appropriate rates of interest.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

 

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company has share-based compensation plans, which are described in Note 23. The cost of share-based compensation plans is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in other paid-in capital and non-controlling interest in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled. The cumulative expense is recognised at each reporting date until the vesting date and reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The movement in cumulative expense recognized for the period is recorded under Selling, general and administrative expenses and Research and development expenses on the consolidated statements of income. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest. Any consideration paid by employees on exercise of share options or purchase of shares is credited to share capital. The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share (further details are given in Note 29).

SHARE BUY-BACK PLANS

The Company from time to time initiates a share buy-back plan, which is described in Note 23. The common shares are repurchased by the Company and later cancelled. The difference between the amounts paid for the common shares and the weighted average common share value is recorded to retained earnings according to applicable accounting standards.

SHARE ISSUE COSTS

Share issue costs incurred by the Company are recorded as a reduction of share capital.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized when the product is delivered to the Company’s customers, provided the Company has not retained any significant risks of ownership or future obligations with respect to the product. Revenue from product sales is recognized net of sales discounts, credits and allowances. Revenue related to service arrangements, where the Company earns a distribution fee on net sales or earns co-promotion revenue, is recognized when the service is provided and is recorded on a net basis. Revenue related to royalty arrangements with partners, where the Company earns a royalty fee based on certain pre-determined terms relating to the net sales of products is recognized as such terms are met alongside the recording of partner product revenues. In certain circumstances, returns or exchange of products are allowed under the Company’s policy and provisions are maintained accordingly. Revenue is recorded net of these provisions. In certain situations, such as initial product launches for which the Company has limited comparable information or where the market or client acceptance has not been clearly established, the Company may determine that it has not met the requirements for recognition of revenue, such as the ability to reasonably determine provisions for product returns, as a result the Company will defer the recognition of revenue for these product sales until such criteria are met.

INTEREST INCOME/EXPENSE

Interest income or expense is recognized on a time-proportion basis. For all financial instruments measured at amortized cost and interest bearing financial assets classified as available-for-sale, interest income or expense is recorded using the effective interest rate method, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability.

GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE

Amounts received or receivable resulting from government assistance programs, including grants and investment tax credits for research and development, are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the amount relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income on a systematic basis as a reduction to the costs that it is intended to compensate. When the grant relates to an asset, it reduces the carrying amount of the asset and is then recognized as income over the useful life of the depreciable asset by way of a reduced depreciation charge.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development expenditures are charged to the consolidated statement of income in the year in which they are incurred. Milestones and other license payments paid prior to regulatory approval of the product are generally expensed when the event requiring payment of the milestone occurs. Development expenditures are capitalized when the criteria for recognizing an asset are met, usually when a regulatory filing has been made in a major market and approval is considered highly probable. Property, plant and equipment used for research and development is depreciated in accordance with the Company’s policy.

EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

The Company has an employee deferred income sharing plan available to all permanent employees pursuant to which the Company matches a contribution of up to 4% and 5% of an employee’s salary in the form of a registered retirement savings plan contribution. The Company’s contributions are charged to the consolidated statement of income as incurred.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred tax. Tax expenses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income except to the extent they relate to items recognized directly in shareholders’ equity, in which case the related tax is recognized in shareholders’ equity.

(a) Current Income Tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income.

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

(b) Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred tax is calculated based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates that are expected to apply to the year of realization or settlement based on tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets (liabilities) are recognized for all deductible (taxable) temporary differences and carry forwards of unused tax losses and Scientific Research and Experimental Development (“SR&ED”) expenditures, to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax losses and SR&ED expenditures can be utilized except:

 

    where the deferred tax asset (liability) relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit or loss nor taxable income or loss; and

 

    in respect of taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in comprehensive income or directly in shareholders’ equity.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not discounted.

 

- 8 -


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

 

Tax benefits acquired as part of a business combination, but not satisfying the criteria for separate recognition at that date, would be recognized subsequently if new information about facts and circumstances changed. The adjustment would be treated as a reduction to goodwill (as long as it does not exceed goodwill) if it was incurred within the measurement period or in the statement of income after the end of the measurement period.

(c) Sales Tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of amount of sales tax except:

 

    where the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the sales tax is recognized in the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item, as applicable; and

 

    receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of sales tax included.

The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables and payables in the consolidated balance sheet.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, JUDGEMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual amounts and results could differ from those estimates. The following are considered to be the key accounting estimates and judgements made.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss is passed to the customer and reliable estimates can be made of relevant deductions. Gross revenue is reduced by discounts, credits, allowances and product returns. Accruals are made at the time of sale for the estimated discounts, credits, allowances and product returns, based on available market information and historical experience. Because the amounts are estimated they may not fully reflect the final outcome, and the amounts are subject to change. The level of accrual is reviewed and adjusted regularly in light of contractual and legal obligations, historical trends, past experience and projected market conditions. Market conditions are evaluated using wholesaler and other third-party analyses, market research data and internally generated information. Future events could cause the assumptions on which the accruals are based to change, which could affect the future results of the Company.

In certain situations, such as initial product launches for which the Company has limited comparable information or where the market or client acceptance has not been clearly established, the Company may determine that it has not met the requirements for recognition of revenue, such as the ability to reasonably determine provisions for product returns, as a result the Company will defer the recognition of revenue for these product sales until such criteria are met.

INVENTORY VALUATION

The reserve for inventory primarily consists of all or a portion of the inventory which has reached its expiration or is not expected to be sold, based on the specific facts and circumstances. In order to determine whether the inventory is properly stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, management reviews the amount of inventory on hand, the remaining shelf life and estimates the time required to sell such inventory taking into account current and expected market conditions and competition.

ASSETS ARISING FROM BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Company periodically invests in business acquisitions (refer to Note 5). The Company allocates the cost of the acquisition to the underlying net assets acquired based on their respective estimated fair values. As part of this allocation process, the Company must identify and attribute values and estimated lives to the identifiable assets acquired, which consist mainly of intangible assets.

These determinations involve significant estimates and assumptions regarding cash flow projections, economic risk and weighted cost of capital rates such as length of license agreement, expected market penetration, terminal values and country specific risk. These estimates and assumptions determine the amount allocated to identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, as well as the amortization period for identifiable intangible assets with finite lives. If future events or results differ adversely from these estimates and assumptions, the Company could record increased amortization or impairment charges in the future.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONT’D)

 

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The factors that drive the actual economic useful life of the intangible assets are inherently uncertain, and include patent protection, physician loyalty and prescribing patterns, competition from products prescribed for similar indications, introductions of competing products, the impact of promotional efforts, adverse patient reactions to products or similar products including negative publicity and many other issues. The terms generally range from 2 to 15 years. Capitalized milestones and other license payments are based on future cash flows that are derived from business forecasts and are inherently judgemental. Estimated useful lives are reviewed annually and impairment tests are undertaken if events occur which call into question the carrying values of the assets. Impairment tests are based on risk-adjusted future cash flows discounted using the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. These future cash flows are based on business forecasts and are therefore inherently judgemental. Future events could cause the assumptions used in these impairment reviews to change with a consequential adverse effect on the future results of the Company.

IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the CGU being tested. A long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the group of CGUs, are disclosed and further explained in Note 18.

INCOME TAXES

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Company establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities of the respective countries in which it operates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective company’s domicile.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses and SR&ED expenditures carried forward to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses and SR&ED expenditures can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

Further details on taxes are disclosed in Note 10.

4. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company has adopted the following new standards and interpretations effective as of 1 January 2013:

IAS 1 Amendment, Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income

The Company has adopted the amendments to IAS 1 effective January 1, 2013. These amendments required the Company to group other comprehensive income items by those that will be reclassified subsequently to income or loss and those that will not be reclassified. These changes did not result in any adjustments or presentation reclassifications to other comprehensive income or comprehensive income as all of the items in other comprehensive income will be reclassified subsequently to income or loss.

4. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONT’D)

 

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Amendments to IFRS 7

The amendment requires an entity to disclose information about rights to set-off financial instruments and related arrangements (e.g., collateral agreements). The disclosures would provide users with information that is useful in evaluating the effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position. The new disclosures are required for all recognized financial instruments that are set off in accordance with IAS 32. The disclosures also apply to recognised financial instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether the financial instruments are set off in accordance with IAS 32. As the Company is not setting off financial instruments in accordance with IAS 32 and does not have relevant offsetting arrangements, the amendment does not have an impact on the Company.

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

IFRS 10 replaces the guidance on control and consolidation in IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC-12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. IFRS 10 requires consolidation of an investee only if the investor possesses power over the investee, has exposure to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. Detailed guidance is provided on applying the definition of control. The Company assessed its consolidation conclusions on January 1, 2013 and determined that the adoption of IFRS 10 did not result in any change in the consolidation status of any of its subsidiaries and investees.

IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and IAS 28R Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly-controlled Entities — Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (“JCEs”) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, JCEs that meet the definition of a joint venture under IFRS 11 must be accounted for using the equity method. The adoption of IFRS 11 did not result in any changes in the Company’s accounting for its joint arrangement.

IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

IFRS 12 sets out the requirements for disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. The Company has made the required disclosures in Notes 12 and 13.

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

IFRS 13 provides a single framework for measuring fair value. The measurement of the fair value of an asset or liability is based on assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability under current market conditions, including assumptions about risk. The Company adopted IFRS 13 on January 1, 2013 on a prospective basis. The adoption of IFRS 13 did not require any adjustments to the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure fair value and did not result in any measurement adjustments as at January 1, 2013.

Endo Arrangement Agreement

On November 5, 2013, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with, among others, Endo Health Solutions Inc. (“Endo”). Pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, both Endo and the Company will become indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Endo International Limited (“New Endo”) and all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company will be exchanged for 1.6331 ordinary shares of New Endo, $1.16 in cash, subject to adjustment, and one common share of Knight Therapeutics Inc.

(a subsidiary of the Company) (the “Voucher”) or, if not yet issued at the time of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the business separation agreement, any rights to the Voucher (collectively, the “Impavido Property”).

Acquisition of additional interest in Litha

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company acquired an additional 22.76% interest in the voting shares of Litha, increasing its ownership to 67.30%. Cash consideration of $37,677 (South African Rand “ZAR” 368,204) was paid to the non-controlling shareholders. The average carrying value of the net assets at the acquisition dates was $91,939 of which $20,971, representing the carrying value of the additional interest acquired, has been recognized as an equity transaction reducing the respective non-controlling interests balances on these dates. The difference between the consideration given and the carrying value of the interest acquired of $16,706 has been recognized as an equity transaction in retained earnings in accordance with IFRS.

Pharmaplan / Litha acquisition

On February 21, 2012, the Company entered into a strategic partnership whereby it agreed to accelerate the purchase of the remaining 55.01% interest in Pharmaplan (Pty) Ltd. (“Pharmaplan”) it did not own at that date and to merge the Pharmaplan business with the pharma division of Litha, a publicly listed diversified healthcare company on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, with headquarters in Johannesburg, South Africa (the “Combined Transactions”). On July 2, 2012, the Company acquired the 55.01% interest in Pharmaplan for cash consideration of $38,150 and the issuance of 88,948 common shares at $44.97 per share. Litha subsequently acquired 100% of the share capital of Pharmaplan from the Company in exchange for cash of $15,450 (ZAR125,000) and the issuance of 169,090,909 Litha common shares at $0.3399 (ZAR2.75) per share. The Company further acquired an additional 73,083,214 shares of Litha from third parties at $0.3399 (ZAR2.75) per share for a total net consideration of $24,943 (ZAR200,802). Upon the closing of these transactions the Company owned 242,174,122 common shares of Litha, representing a 44.54% interest in Litha making it Litha’s single largest shareholder. The Combined Transactions described above in conjunction with certain shareholder agreements for 13.42% of Litha’s outstanding common shares gave the Company control over more than half of the voting rights of Litha and, therefore, the Company has included Litha within its consolidated financial statements as of July 2, 2012, the effective date of acquisition.

Prior to the Combined Transactions, the Company held a 44.99% interest in Pharmaplan and considered it an equity investment recorded at a value of $18,480 under “Investment in associates” on the interim unaudited consolidated balance sheet. In conjunction with the Company’s acquisition of the remaining 55.01% interest in Pharmaplan, the Company, in accordance with IFRS, revalued its original investment in Pharmaplan as of July 2, 2012 at $30,774 and recorded a gain of $12,294.

10. INCOME TAX (CONT’D)

 

As at December 31, 2013, the Company had Scientific Research and Experimental Development (“SR&ED”) expenditures available for Canadian federal and provincial income tax purposes, amounting to approximately $75,076 and $16,413, respectively, which may be applied against taxable income of future years for an indefinite period of which $48,489 and $818, respectively, have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements. If the Company had recognized all deferred tax assets for SR&ED expenditures, the net income would increase by $5,904.

The Company has non-capital tax losses which may be applied against taxable income for Canadian federal and Québec income tax purposes of $48,474 in both cases, which expire between 2026 and 2032. The Company has recognized the tax benefit on $2,918 of these losses for Canadian federal and Quebec income tax purposes. If the Company had recognized all deferred tax assets for non-capital tax losses, the net income would increase by $12,255.

As part of the Labopharm acquisition, the Company has tax losses which arose in Ireland, Barbados and the United States. The Irish losses of $211,427 (2012: $198,243) are available indefinitely for offset against future taxable profits of the company in which the losses arose subject to certain restrictions on continuing the operations of the Irish company. However, these losses relate to a subsidiary that has a history of losses, they do not expire and may not be used to offset taxable income elsewhere in the Company. The Company has reorganized the operations of the Irish subsidiary so that it will generate taxable income. The Company has recognized the tax benefit on $14,489 (2012: $19,612) of these losses for Irish tax purposes to the extent of the future tax liability recognized as part of the Purchase Price Equation plus additional tax attributes of $4,306 (2012: $5,085) reflecting future income streams from the reorganization of the Company. If the Company were able to recognize all unrecognized deferred tax assets for these non-capital tax losses, the Company’s consolidated net income would increase by $24,617 (2012: $22,329).

The losses which arose in Barbados of $18,579 (2012: $22,797) are available to reduce taxable income of future years. These losses carryforward and expire as follows:

The Company has reorganized the operations of the Barbados subsidiaries so that it will generate taxable income and therefore recognized the tax benefit on $3,438 (2012: $5,781) of the losses for Barbados tax purposes. If the Company were able to recognize all unrecognized deferred tax assets for these non-capital tax losses, the Company’s consolidated net income would increase by $379 (2012: $425).

10. INCOME TAX (CONT’D)

 

The losses which arose in the United States of $552 (2012: $359) are available to reduce taxable income of future years subject to certain restrictions by the application of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States. None of these losses have been recognized. If the Company were able to recognize all unrecognized deferred tax assets for these non-capital tax losses, the Company’s consolidated net income would increase by $215 (2012: $140).

As part of the Litha acquisition, the Company has tax losses which arose in South Africa. The losses of $5,459 (2012: $7,635) are available indefinitely for offset against future taxable profits of the company in which the losses arose. The Company has recognized the tax benefit on $4,193 (2012: $7,635) of losses for South African tax purposes. If the Company were able to recognize all unrecognized deferred tax assets for these non-capital tax losses, the Company’s consolidated net income would increase by $354 (2012: Nil).

At December 31, 2013, there was no recognized deferred tax liability (2012: $Nil) for taxes that would be payable on the unremitted earnings of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Company has determined that undistributed profits of its subsidiaries will not be distributed in the foreseeable future, as the Company has an agreement with its subsidiaries that the profits of the subsidiary will not be distributed until it obtains the consent of the Company. The parent company does not foresee giving such consent at the reporting date.

At December 31, 2013, the Company has net realized and unrealized capital losses of $3,766 (2012: $4,854) associated with portfolio and available-for-sale financial investments. Capital losses may only be used to offset future capital gains for Canadian federal and Quebec income tax purposes. It is uncertain the Company will generate sufficient capital gains in the future to be able to recover these unrealized capital losses, if and when they are realized, and as such, no deferred tax asset has been recognized in the year ended December 31, 2013. If the Company were able to recognize all unrecognized deferred tax assets and all of these capital losses were realized for tax purposes, the Company’s consolidated net income would increase by $507 (2012: $653).

12. INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATES

On March 16, 2010, the Company entered into a strategic investment to acquire an initial 34.99% ownership interest in Pharmaplan, a privately-owned specialty pharmaceutical company based in Johannesburg, South Africa. The Company paid $18,861 including a non-interest bearing loan of $2,879 (ZAR21,000). In addition, the Company committed to additional future consideration by increasing its ownership position by 5% per year over the next 3 years to 49.99%, with such additional consideration based upon Pharmaplan’s future financial results. In addition, the Company had the option to increase its ownership interest in Pharmaplan to 100% in 2013, at a purchase price determined using Pharmaplan’s future financial results, payable in ZAR. Refer to Note 5 for additional information.

On March 1, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Pharmaplan to accelerate the purchase of Pharmaplan shares leading to the acquisition of a total 10% ownership interest in Pharmaplan. This increased the Company’s ownership from 34.99% to 44.99% effective March 1, 2011. The Company paid $5,975 including the settlement of the non-interest bearing loan mentioned above.

The equity interest acquired in Pharmaplan represented an investment subject to significant influence which was accounted for using the equity method from the date of the acquisition, March 16, 2010. The investments were initially recorded at cost and adjustments are made to include the Company’s share of Pharmaplan’s net income. The Company’s share of net income is adjusted to reflect the amortization of the fair value adjustments related to the Company’s share of the net identifiable assets of Pharmaplan acquired and the tax impact on the distributable earnings.

On July 2, 2012, in conjunction with the Litha acquisition further discussed in Note 5, the Company acquired the 55.01% interest it did not own in Pharmaplan and revalued and eliminated its original investment in Pharmaplan as of July 2, 2012 to $30,774 and recorded a gain of $12,294.

The Company, as part of the Litha acquisition further discussed in Note 5, acquired a 30% equity interest and has significant influence in Firefly Investments Ltd. (“Firefly”), a private real estate property management company located in Johannesburg, South Africa, responsible for managing the property on which Litha’s headquarters are located.

On October 22, 2013, Litha disbursed $321 (ZAR3,167) for a 25% equity interest and significant influence in a consortium located in Johannesburg, South Africa, which owns 80% of The Dental Warehouse. The Dental Warehouse is a leading distributor of dental consumable merchandise to dentists, private clinics, universities and governmental agencies in the country. Half of the consortium is owned by Henry Schein, Inc. (NASDAQ: HSIC), the world’s largest provider of healthcare products and services to office-based dental, animal health and medical practitioners.

(“Nuvo”), the Company entered into a funding agreement with Nuvo under which the Company agreed to loan Nuvo $8,000 in two equal tranches of $4,000 each, as a secured debenture (“Nuvo Debenture”) bearing 15% interest that matures on May 26, 2016. The first tranche was advanced on May 25, 2012 and the second tranche was advanced on July 10, 2013. On the date of the second disbursement, the Company amended its agreement with Nuvo to include the right to a third tranche of $4,000 that can be drawn by Nuvo under certain conditions.

The Nuvo Debenture was classified as “Loans and receivables”, recorded at fair value at the effective interest rate of 15% upon initial measurement and subsequently recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 

(iii) On April 18, 2013, the Company entered into a funding agreement with Laboratoires Lavipharm S.A. (“Lavipharm”) under which the Company loaned Lavipharm $3,500, as a secured debenture bearing 10% interest. On October 24, 2013, the Company amended its agreement with Lavipharm and loaned Lavipharm a second tranche of $1,250 bearing 10% interest. The first and second tranche mature on April 17, 2018 and October 24, 2018, respectively. Moreover, the amendment includes the right to a third tranche of $3,230 that can be drawn by an affiliate of Lavipharm no later than April 24, 2014.

The Lavipharm Debenture was classified as “Loans and receivables”, recorded at fair value at the effective interest rate of 10% upon initial measurement and subsequently recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 

(iv) On November 28, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of the rights to Travelan® for Canada, Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America from Immuron Ltd (“Immuron”), the Company entered into a funding agreement with Immuron under which the Company agreed to loan Immuron $1,500 in two tranches bearing 10% interest in the form of a secured convertible debenture (“Immuron Debenture”). The first tranche of $1,000 was advanced on November 28, 2011 and the second tranche of $500 was advanced on February 18, 2013.

The loan and conversion option of the Immuron Debenture were initially recognized as a pro-rata of their respective weighted average fair values. The fair value of the conversion option was obtained by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, adjusted for credit risk, using the following assumptions, as at December 31, 2012: volatility factor: 188%, risk free interest rate: 2.82% and time to expiry: 2 years. The fair value of the loan portion of the Immuron Debenture was obtained by determining the present value of the interest and the principal using a discount rate of 19%. The conversion option and warrants were classified as “Derivatives” and in compliance with IAS 39 are carried at fair value. The loan portion was classified as “Loans and receivables”, recorded at fair value upon initial measurement and subsequently recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded an unrealized loss on the derivative financial instrument described above of $173 (2012: $384) and accreted interest on the loan portion of the above debenture of $84 (2012: $137).

During 2013, the Company, as part of its on-going assessment of investment carrying values, and due to Immuron’s significant financial difficulties, determined its investment in Immuron to be permanently impaired, and recorded a write-down of $1,165 in “Other finance expense” on the consolidated statement of income under the Paladin reporting segment.

(i) The RMB loan was issued in 2011 at a fixed interest rate of 10.12% for $7,091 (ZAR70,000) and a variable rate of the Johannesburg Interbank Agreed Rate (“JIBAR”) plus 3.1% (8.23% as at December 31, 2013) for $1,013 (ZAR10,000) of the total $8,104 (ZAR80,000) RMB term loan. The loan is repayable quarterly over a five year period. All subsidiaries of Litha with the exception of Biovac Consortium have provided cross guarantees, cession of trade receivables, inventories and a notarial bond over their property plant and equipment to RMB.
(ii) The RMB preference share loan of $12,663 (ZAR125,000) was issued in 2012 at a rate of 72% of JIBAR plus 3.55% (7.26% as at December 31, 2013) and is repayable over a five year period into a redemption reserve account. The funds held in the redemption account, within three years after issuance at Litha’s election and automatically thereafter, are utilized to redeem the preference share loan. The RMB preference share loan was categorized as a financial liability. As at December 31, 2013, the balance in the redemption reserve account was $nil. In addition to the security provided above, RMB has a cession of the redemption reserve account.
(iii) The Heber Biotech loan is due on demand, is unsecured and does not bear interest.
(iv) The IDC bank loan was issued in 2011 for an original amount of $7,957 (ZAR75,000). Interest is calculated on the loan at 3% of the after-tax internal rate of return on advances made under the loan. Repayments comprising of both interest and capital are payable annually in amounts equal to 35% of the net profit of Biovac. Repayments are due 6 months from the end of each financial year following the third anniversary of the drawdown date (August 2011) until the loan is repaid in full. If on the last day of the eighth year from the first drawing date, the loan and capitalised interest have not been repaid in full, the outstanding balance will become payable. As security, the shareholders of Biovac have provided a cession of the shareholder loans advanced to Biovac Consortium and a cession and pledge of all the shares in Biovac by the shareholders, in each case, in favour of the IDC. In addition, Biovac Consortium provided a cession of proceeds received from certain security (comprising a general notarial bond of $5,065 (ZAR50,000) and a mortgage bond of $7,957 (ZAR75,000) over a property in Cape Town held by Biovac Consortium in Biovac) and cession of all proceeds received from Biovac including all dividends and repayment of shareholders’ loans. The amount has been onward loaned to Biovac.
(v) The TIA loan of $1,225 (ZAR12,097) was issued in 2009 for the benefit of Biovac, has a total term of eight years and is secured by a special notarial bond in favour of TIA. Repayments will only be made when the board of Biovac considers that it is in a financial position to make such payments. Interest is charged at prime less 3% (5.5% as at December 31, 2013) capitalised and compounded monthly in arrears.

The Company has a $15,000 extendable revolving unsecured credit facility in place with one of the Company’s bankers which may be used to manage foreign exchange exposure or for general corporate purposes. As at December 31, 2013, $216 is being utilized for certain operational letter of credits (2012: $1,000).

SHARE OPTION PLANS

The Company has an equity-settled Share Option Plan (“Paladin Plan”) in place for the benefit of certain employees, directors and officers of the Company to purchase an aggregate maximum of 4,432,405 common shares. Options issued to employees under the Paladin Plan expire seven years from the grant date and generally vest over three to four years. A significant portion of the Company’s share options issued to employees are exercisable and may become vested depending upon the level of achievement of financial performance targets by the Company, as measured cumulatively over three financial years beginning with the reference financial year in which the options are granted. Certain other options vest in equal annual tranches with the passage of time. Options issued to the Board of Directors under the Paladin Plan expire seven years from the grant date, vest immediately upon grant and are expensed in the year they are granted. Share-based compensation is accounted for using the fair value method using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The attributed exercise price for option grants per the Paladin Plan cannot be less than the closing price per common share on the date of the grant. As at December 31, 2013, 1,286,303 (December 31, 2012 – 1,399,311) common share options remain available under the Plan.

Litha has an equity-settled Share Incentive Scheme (“Litha Plan”) in place for the benefit of certain South African employees and directors of Litha to purchase an aggregate maximum of 60,000,000 common shares. Options issued to employees under the Litha Plan expire five years from the grant date and vest according to the following schedule: for options issued prior to January 1, 2010, the vesting period is five years with 25% of the options vesting two years from the grant date and a further 25% on each subsequent anniversary thereof; for options issued after January 1, 2010, the vesting period is three years with all options vesting at the end of year three. The attributed exercise price for option grants is the closing price per common share on the date of the grant. As at December 31, 2013, 40,744,656 (December 31, 2012 - 24,539,304) common share options remain available under the Litha Plan.

SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

The Company has a Share Purchase Plan (“Purchase Plan”) allowing permanent employees and directors of the Company to purchase up to 200,000 common shares at listed market prices from treasury. During the year ended December 31, 2013, 5,727 (2012: 7,565) shares were issued from treasury at fair market value under the Purchase Plan. As at December 31, 2013, 94,814 (2012: 100,541) common shares reserved for stock purchase arrangements remain available under the Purchase Plan.

Under the Purchase Plan, the Company will contribute 25% of employees’ contributions to a maximum of 10% of the employees’ salary in the form of common shares if the employee remains employed by the Company and has held the original shares for two years from the original purchase date. The Company’s contribution in common shares is calculated using the lesser of the original common share value at the original purchase date and the date of the Company’s contribution.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued 1,412 shares (2012: 1,471) representing its 25% contribution.

(i) The Company acquired Litha on July 2, 2012 and consequently the beginning of period in the table above is July 2 for the year 2012 and January 1 for the year 2013.

The range of exercise prices for share options outstanding at December 31, 2013 was $0.85 to $3.70. The weighted average remaining contractual life for the share options outstanding at December 31, 2013 is 37 months. The expected life of the share options is based on historical data and current expectation and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. Volatility is determined based on the three-year (2012: two-year) share price history. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the options is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome.

SHARE BUYBACK

The Company has an automatic share purchase plan with a broker in order to facilitate repurchases of its common shares under its normal course issuer bid. The Company’s broker may repurchase shares under the normal course issuer bid at any time including, without limitation, when the Company would ordinarily not be permitted to due to regulatory restrictions or self-imposed blackout periods.

On February 28, 2013, the Company received regulatory approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) to carry out a normal course issuer bid effective March 4, 2013. The Company had been authorized to purchase up to 906,669 of its common shares in the twelve-month period following the bid’s effective date. The Company has not repurchased any of its common shares during the year ended December 31, 2013.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, under the terms of the normal course issuer bid approved in 2011, the Company repurchased and cancelled 58,716 common shares at an average price of $38.79 for cash consideration of $2,278 resulting in an excess of purchase price over stated capital of common shares of $1,793 which was charged to retained earnings. The normal course issuer bid expired on May 29, 2012.

30. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company, prior to the Litha acquisition effective July 2, 2012, had one reportable segment, namely the research and, development, in-licensing, acquisition, marketing and distribution of pharmaceutical products in Canada and internationally. The Litha acquisition represents a significant financially distinct component of the Company’s operations whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in making decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and in assessing its performance. For internal management reporting purposes, the Company is now structured and presents its financial information in two separate operating segments as follows:

 

  1. Paladin Canada and rest of the world excluding Africa (“Paladin”): focused on the in-licensing, acquisition, marketing, distribution and development of pharmaceutical products in Canada and internationally (excluding the South African and SADC market which is part of the Africa (Litha) segment below). The Paladin group carries out business mainly in Canada with certain operating revenue streams in Europe, Barbados, United States of America, Australia and New Zealand. Substantially all of the Paladin group tangible assets are located in Canada. In addition, the operating segment earns interest income from the investment of its excess cash.

 

  2. Africa (“Litha”): focused on in-licensing, acquisition, marketing, distribution, assembly and research and development of medical devices and consumables as well as in-licensing, distribution and establishing manufacturing capacity in the biotechnology area of vaccines South Africa and the SADC region.

No other operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments. Management monitors the operating results of its segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessments. Segment performance is evaluated based on revenue growth, earnings before under-noted items and net income (loss) and is measured consistently with revenue growth, earnings before undernoted items and net income (loss) in the annual audited consolidated financial statements.

Financial assets and liabilities – fair values

The long-term liabilities were recorded at their discounted value, using discount rates between 5.5% and 10.18% (December 31, 2012: 5.5% and 10.18%), and approximates their fair value. These financial liabilities are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Long-term loans and receivables are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly

Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the cost of capital at acceptable risk.

The Company’s capital structure is composed of equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company. The basis for the Company’s capital structure is dependent on the Company’s expected growth and changes in the business environment. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new common shares, issue debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, loans receivable from a joint venture, financial assets, bank overdraft and long-term liabilities. The details of the Company’s normal course issuer bids are disclosed in Note 23.

The Company expects that its current capital resources will be sufficient to carry on its operations for the foreseeable future and is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a regulator or third parties other than certain covenants under the term of certain of its long-term liabilities and bank overdraft agreements. The Company is in compliance with these covenants and monitors them on an ongoing basis.

LIQUIDITY RISK

All financial liabilities with the exception of the long-term portion of the long-term liabilities are current. The Company generates sufficient cash from operating activities to fund its operations and fulfill its obligations as they become due. The Company has sufficient funds available through its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, should its cash requirements exceed cash generated from operations to cover all financial liability obligations. As at December 31, 2013, there were no restrictions on the flow of these funds nor have any of these funds been committed in any way, except as set out in Note 32.

The following table is a maturity analysis for the Company’s financial liabilities with maturities that are greater than one year at December 31, 2013 for each of the next five years and thereafter based on contractual undiscounted payments.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS

The Company considers its maximum credit risk to be $84,701 (December 31, 2012: $42,520) which is the total of the following financial assets: trade and other receivables, loans and other receivables and derivatives. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, short-term and long-term investments are held through various financial institutions. Marketable securities are mainly investments in liquid, high-grade investment securities. They are subject to minimal risk of changes in value and generally have an original maturity from three months to eighteen months from the date of purchase.

31. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES (CONT’D)

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk from its customers and continually monitors its customers’ credit. It establishes the provision for doubtful accounts based upon the credit risk applicable to each customer. In line with other pharmaceutical companies, the Company sells its products through a small number of wholesalers and retail pharmacy chains in addition to hospitals, pharmacies, physicians and other groups. For the year ended December 31, 2013, two customers of Paladin, a major wholesale distributor and a major retail chain, represented 24% and 11% of revenues, respectively (December 31, 2012: 24% and 11%). As at December 31, 2013, two customers of Paladin, represented in aggregate 13% of trade and other receivables (December 31, 2012: 17%). These above concentrations on the Company’s customers are considered normal for the Company and its industry.

The marketable securities balance, further discussed in Note 7, is invested within seven large Canadian and one large US financial institutions (December 31, 2012: four large Canadian and one large US financial institutions), comprised of one investment in a discount note (December 31, 2012: three), thirty-nine guaranteed investment certificate investments (December 31, 2012: forty-six), three investments in commercial paper (December 31, 2012: eight) and two investments in corporate bonds (December 31, 2012: one).

An additional source of credit risk for the Company arises from its strategic investments in third-parties with whom it has strategic commercial relationships. In connection with license arrangements with third parties, as at December 31, 2013, the Company has a net investment of $41,637 through secured debentures of which $31,908 is denominated in USD. In addition, the Company’s has a net investment of $10,935 representing loans to a joint venture. The Company continuously monitors the risks associated with these amounts.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

The Company, with the exception of Litha discussed separately below, principally operates within Canada in Canadian dollars, however, a portion of the Company’s revenues, expenses, and current assets and liabilities, are predominantly denominated in ZAR, United States dollars (“USD”) and €. This results in financial risk due to fluctuations in the value of the ZAR, USD and € relative to CAD. The Company has significant monetary assets and liabilities denominated in ZAR, USD and € that are required to be revalued in CAD at each period end.

With the exception of the forward contracts relating to Litha, further discussed in Note 15, the Company does not actively use derivative financial instruments to reduce its foreign exchange exposure and often relies on natural hedges to mitigate foreign currency risk. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates could cause unanticipated fluctuations in the Company’s operating results, financial position or cash flows. The significant balances in foreign currencies are as follows:

 

     2013     2012  
     USD         ZAR     USD         ZAR  

Cash and cash equivalents

     362       2,765       101,033       1,820       6,690       136,662  

Trade and other receivables

     1,468       7,134       179,652       272       1,182       169,256  

Payables, accruals and provisions

     (19,250     (2,443     (134,339     (7,705     (1,584     (100,409

These three currencies are the major currencies in which the Company’s financial instruments are denominated. The Company has considered movements in these currencies over the last three years and has concluded that a 10% movement in rates is a reasonable benchmark. Based on the aforementioned net exposure as at December 31, 2013 and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 10% movement in the CAD/USD, CAD/€ and CAD/ZAR exchange rate would have an effect of $286 (December 31, 2012: $2,022) on net income and $436 (2011: $656) on other comprehensive income.

The Company’s investment in Litha is in ZAR and Litha’s functional currency is the ZAR while the Company’s functional and reporting currency is the CAD. Litha’s net assets as of December 31, 2013 amount to ZAR1,260,463 (2012 - ZAR1,232,727) and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 10% movement in the CAD/ZAR exchange rate would have an effect of $12,768 (2012 - $14,448) on other comprehensive income of which $8,593 (2012 - $6,435) is attributable to the Company’s shareholders and $4,175 (2012 - $8,013) to non-controlling interests.

 

- 43 -


31. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES (CONT’D)

 

EQUITY PRICE RISK

Equity price risk arises from changes in market prices of the available-for-sale equity securities. The carrying values of investments subject to equity price risk are, in almost all instances, based on quoted market prices as of the balance sheet dates with an estimated fair value of $3,182 at December 31, 2013 (December 31, 2012: $628). The Company monitors its equity investments for impairment on a periodic basis. Market prices are subject to fluctuation and, consequently, the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from the reported market value. Fluctuation in the market price of a security may result from perceived changes in the underlying economic characteristics of the investee, the relative price of alternative investments and general market conditions. Furthermore, amounts realized in the sale of a particular security may be affected by the relative quantity of the security being sold.

The Company manages the equity price risk through the use of strict investment policies approved by the Board of Directors. Reports on the equity portfolio are submitted to the Company’s Investment Committee on a regular basis. The Company’s Board of Directors reviews and approves all equity investment decisions.

A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the stock prices of the Company’s available-for-sale equity securities would result in an approximate $318 other comprehensive income (loss) (December 31, 2012: $63). The Company does not include in the analysis above investments which are subject to significant influence. The adverse change above does not reflect what could be considered the best or worst case scenarios. Indeed, results could be worse due both to the nature of equity markets and the concentrations existing in the Company’s equity investment portfolio, in particular where there is less liquidity available as in the case of the small capitalization companies included in the available-for-sale equity securities.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, bank overdraft and long term liabilities. Details regarding maturity dates and effective interest rates are described in Notes 6, 7 and 22. The Company does not believe that the results of operations or cash flows would be materially affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in market interest rates relative to interest rates on the investments, owing to the relatively short-term nature of the marketable securities and currently low market yields.

The Company has considered movements in the interest rates over the last three years and has concluded that a 2% movement in interest rates is a reasonable benchmark. The Company’s net exposure as at December 31, 2013 is $17,778 (2012 - $28,416), representing the balance of the bank overdraft and the long-term liabilities with variable interest rates. Assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 2% movement in the interest rates would have an effect of $356 (December 31, 2011: $568) on net income.

COLLATERAL

The Company, through its Litha subsidiary, has long-term liabilities with two parties to which the Company has provided security in the form of guarantees, cession of trade debtors, inventories and loans from a joint venture, cession and pledge of all the shares in Biovac and a notarial bond over property, plant and equipment in South Africa. In aggregate, as at December 31, 2013, the Company has provided collateral in the aggregate amount of $93,857 (2012 - $81,542).

32. COMMITMENTS

In the normal course of business, the Company secures development, sales, marketing and distribution rights to innovative drug products requiring royalties or product payments considered normal operating commitments and as such not included herein. Similarly, the Company has entered into various product agreements which include contractual obligations extending beyond the current year. These obligations due to their significance and/or being considered outside of the Company’s normal course of business are separately disclosed and are classified into three major categories: revenue based, milestone based, and purchase and services based commitments.

REVENUE BASED COMMITMENTS

The Company may have to pay up to $1,595 (2012 – $2,115) including US$1,500 (2012 – US$2,000) if it achieves specific sales volumes on specific products in the future, over a maximum of four years (2012 – five years).

MILESTONE BASED COMMITMENTS

The Company has also committed to fund certain research and development expenditures of third parties of $500 (2012 – $828) over the next year. In addition, certain additional payments may be required under these agreements if milestones are met, such as regulatory approval in Canada. Based on the outcome of these milestones, the Company may have to pay up to $2,795 (2012 – $2,901), including US$2,091 (2012 – US$2,461) and £125 (2012 – £125), over a maximum period of 15 years (2012 – 15 years).

PURCHASE AND SERVICE BASED COMMITMENTS

The Company is committed to making minimum purchases of inventory, and minimum expenditures for regulatory, selling and marketing services of $13,943 (2012 – $19,658), including US$3,308 (2012: US$1,750), €4,108 (2012 – €9,390), and ZAR7,635 (2012: ZAR13,965), to retain exclusive distribution agreements for certain products. These commitments end in 2019.

OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Company has various non-cancellable operating lease agreements for office space, a manufacturing facility and certain Company vehicles as follows:

 

     2013
$
     2012

     1,537         1,432   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Lease and rental expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $897 (2012: $722), which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income.

OTHER CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS

In connection with the Arrangement Agreement, the Company is committed to making certain payments contingent upon the consummation of the Arrangement, and which therefore were not accrued for at December 31, 2013. This includes a $19,145 (US$18,000) remaining payment to the Company’s financial advisor, Credit Suisse, and $11,750 in compensation and other arrangements. In addition, the Company estimates that it will incur transaction-related and professional fees in the amount of approximately $7,000, of which $4,991 was expensed during the year ended December 31, 2013.

In addition, as a result of the accelerated vesting of all share-based payments with a positive in-the-money amount per share outstanding at the closing date of the Arrangement Agreement, the Company expects to record an additional share-based compensation expense of $3,008 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2014.

The Company is also committed to invest $4,000 in a secured debenture at the request of a third party with whom it has strategic commercial relationships. The commitment expires in 2016.

34. PRODUCT PRICING REGULATION ON CERTAIN PATENTED DRUG PRODUCTS

Certain patented drug products within the Company’s portfolio of products are subject to product pricing regulation by the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board (PMPRB). The PMPRB’s objective is to ensure that prices of patented products in Canada are not excessive. For new patented products, the price in Canada is limited to either the cost of existing drugs sold in Canada or the median of prices for the same drug sold in other specified industrial countries. For existing patented products prices cannot increase by more than the Consumer Price Index.

EXHIBIT 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF ENDO INTERNATIONAL PLC

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information of Endo International plc (“Endo International” or “Endo”) is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the Paladin Acquisition (see Note 1) and the related debt exchange and reorganization. The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 and unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 are based upon and derived from and should be read in conjunction with the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Endo Health Solutions Inc. (“EHSI”) (which are available in EHSI’s 2013 Form 10-K) and historical audited consolidated financial statements of Paladin Labs, Inc. (“Paladin”) (which are included in Exhibit 99.1 for your reference). The Paladin Acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). The unaudited pro forma combined financial information set forth below give effect to the following (collectively, the “Transactions”):

 

    the reorganization upon consummation of the Paladin Acquisition, in which each of EHSI and Paladin became indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Endo International (see information presented in the “Endo Debt Exchange/Reorganization” column in the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet and statement of operations); and

 

    the incurrence of $1,525.0 million in debt by Endo International and the repayment of EHSI’s existing credit facilities (“Existing Term Loan Credit Facility”) (see information presented in the “Endo Debt Exchange/Reorganization” column in the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet and statement of operations); and

 

    certain International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) to U.S. GAAP adjustments necessary to reflect legacy Paladin under the same accounting principles as EHSI as further described in Note 2 (see information presented in the “Paladin Adjusted Historical IFRS” and “Paladin Adjusted Historical U.S. GAAP” columns in the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet and statement of operations); and

 

    certain other adjustments in connection with the consummation of the Paladin Acquisition, including the associated estimated direct transaction costs (see information presented in the “Paladin Acquisition Adjustments” column in the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet and statement of operations).

The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and are based upon available information and certain assumptions, described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions within the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial information. Under ASC 805, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value. The fair value of Paladin’s identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on a preliminary estimate of fair value as of December 31, 2013. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recognized as goodwill. The establishment of the fair value of consideration for acquisitions requires the extensive use of significant estimates and management’s judgment. Significant judgment is required in determining the estimated fair values of in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), identifiable intangible assets, certain tangible assets and certain liabilities assumed. Such a valuation requires estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, determining the timing and estimated costs to complete each in-process project, projecting the timing of regulatory approvals, estimating future cash flows and direct costs in addition to developing the appropriate discount rates and current market profit margins. Preliminary fair value estimates may change as additional information becomes available and such changes could be material.

The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 assumes the completion of the Transactions occurred on January 1, 2013. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 assumes the Transactions occurred on December 31, 2013. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared by management in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations that would have been realized had the Transactions occurred as of the dates indicated, nor is it meant to be indicative of any anticipated combined financial position or future results of operations that Endo International will experience after the Transactions. In addition, the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations does not include any expected cost savings or restructuring actions which may be achievable subsequent to the Transactions or the impact of any non-recurring activity and one-time transaction related costs or certain pro forma adjustments which are considered significant. Certain financial information of Paladin as presented in its respective consolidated financial statements has been reclassified to conform to the historical presentation in EHSI’s consolidated financial statements for purposes of preparation of the unaudited pro forma combined financial information. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information gives effect to the reorganization of EHSI and Paladin into Endo International, which includes the Paladin Acquisition.

Endo International plc

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements

(In thousands of USD, except share amounts)

Note 1. Description of transaction

On November 5, 2013, EHSI announced that it had entered into an Arrangement Agreement to acquire Paladin in a stock and cash transaction valued then at approximately $1.6 billion (the “Paladin Acquisition”). Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, (a) Endo International caused 8312214 Canada Inc., subsequently renamed to Paladin Labs Canadian Holding Inc., to acquire Paladin pursuant to a plan of arrangement under Canadian Law and (b) merger sub merged with and into EHSI, with EHSI as the Surviving Corporation in the Merger. On February 28, 2014 the Paladin Acquisition closed and each of EHSI and Paladin became indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Endo International, a newly-formed Irish holding company.

As consideration for the Paladin Acquisition, Paladin shareholders received, for each Paladin share they owned upon closing, 1.6331 shares of Endo International and C$1.16 in cash, for total estimated consideration of $2.9 billion. Current EHSI shareholders received one share of Endo International for each share of EHSI they owned upon closing. Upon closing of the Paladin Acquisition, the former EHSI shareholders owned approximately 79% of the capitalization of Endo International on a fully diluted basis, and the former Paladin shareholders and option holders owned approximately 21% of the capitalization of Endo International on a fully diluted basis.

In addition, pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, for each Paladin share owned upon closing, shareholders of Paladin received one share of Knight Therapeutics Inc. (“Knight Therapeutics”), a newly formed Canadian company. Rights to Impavido and certain related rights were transferred to Knight Therapeutics in connection with the Paladin Acquisition (the “Knight separation”).

Upon closing of the Paladin Acquisition, Endo International shares were listed on NASDAQ and TSX.

In connection with the Paladin acquisition, EHSI refinanced its existing secured senior credit facilities, which are referred to herein as the “Existing Term Loan Credit Facility”, at closing through a new secured senior credit facility, which is referred to herein as the “New Term Loan Credit Facility.” The New Term Loan Credit Facility consists of a five-year senior secured term loan “A” facility in an amount up to $1.1 billion, a seven-year senior secured term loan “B” facility in an amount up to $425.0 million, and a five-year revolving credit facility with an initial borrowing capacity of up to $750.0 million. The new credit facility contains an uncommitted expansion option which will permit up to $1.0 billion (or an unlimited amount if the secured leverage ratio, as defined in the new credit facility, is less than or equal to 2.75x) of additional revolving or term loan commitments from one or more of the lenders under the new credit facility or other lenders after the closing date. As of December 31, 2013, prior to entering into the New Term Loan Credit Facility, term loans under the Existing Term Loan Credit Facility amounted to $1,396.0 million.

The interest rates under the New Term Loan Credit Facility are at LIBOR plus the applicable margin. For the purposes of these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, it was assumed that the new term loans will be borrowed under the New Term Loan Credit Facility at a current LIBOR rate of 0.25%, for a weighted average interest rate of 2.57% for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Under the new credit facility, $50.0 million is available for letters of credit and up to $50.0 million is available for swing line loans on same-day notice, both of which may be increased to up to $75.0 million, subject to consents as described in the new credit facility.

Note 2. Basis of presentation

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and was based on the historical financial information of EHSI and Paladin. This unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not give effect to immaterial transactions, such as the Knight separation by Paladin, and the acquisition of Boca Pharmacal LLC by EHSI. This unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to immaterial probable transactions, such as the acquisition of Grupo Farmaceutico Somar by the Company.

The acquisition method of accounting, based on ASC 805, uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” (“ASC 820”). The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the acquisition, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results.


ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes the framework for measuring fair value for any asset acquired or liability assumed under U.S. GAAP, expands disclosures about fair value measurements and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date”. This is an exit price concept for the valuation of an asset or liability. Market participants are assumed to be buyers or sellers in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurement for an asset assumes the highest and best use by these market participants, and as a result, assets may be required to be recorded which are not intended to be used or sold and/or to value assets at a fair value measurement that do not reflect management’s intended use for those assets. Fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is possible the application of reasonable judgment could develop different assumptions resulting in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances.

ASC 805 requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date and that the fair value of acquired IPR&D be recorded on the balance sheet. As of the date of this filing, Endo International has not completed the detailed valuation work necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair value of the Paladin assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed and the related allocation of purchase price. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited pro forma purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed.

The historical financial statements of Paladin for the year ended December 31, 2013 were prepared in accordance with IFRS using the Canadian dollar as the reporting currency. Certain IFRS to U.S. GAAP adjustments have been made to the historical financial statements of Paladin. For purposes of the unaudited financial information, the Canadian dollar denominated IFRS financial statements have been converted to the U.S. dollar, using the exchange rate of $0.9402 as of December 31, 2013 and the average exchange rate of $0.9710 the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.

Although we believe these adjustments represent the known material adjustments necessary to present Paladin’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, the accompanying unaudited pro forma IFRS to U.S. GAAP adjustments are preliminary and are subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. In addition, we may not have identified all adjustments necessary to conform Paladin’s accounting policies to Endo International’s accounting policies.

Endo International is conducting a review of Paladin’s accounting policies in an effort to determine if differences in accounting policies require adjustment or reclassification of Paladin’s results of operations or reclassification of assets or liabilities to conform to Endo’s accounting policies and classifications. As a result of that review, we may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, are not expected to have a material impact on these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. During the preparation of these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, we were not aware of any material differences between accounting policies of the two companies, except for certain reclassifications necessary to conform to our financial presentation, and accordingly, these unaudited pro forma combined financial information do not assume any material differences in accounting policies between the two companies.


Financial information presented in the “Paladin Adjusted Historical IFRS” column in the unaudited adjusted historical balance sheet and statement of operations has been reclassified to conform to the historical presentation in our consolidated financial statements as follows:

Notes:

Adjustments included in the column “GAAP Adjustments” are for the following:

 

(a) Represents certain differences regarding the tax effects of intercompany transfer of assets under IFRS to conform to U.S. GAAP. Under IFRS taxes paid on intercompany transfers of assets are recognized as tax expense as incurred. Additionally, IFRS requires the recognition of deferred taxes on temporary differences between the tax basis of assets transferred. Under U.S. GAAP taxes paid on intercompany transfers are deferred as a prepaid asset until the underlying asset is consumed or is sold to an unrelated party at which point it is recognized as tax expense.
(b) Represents certain tax classification differences under IFRS to conform to U.S. GAAP. Under IFRS deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current whereas under U.S. GAAP a split between current and non-current is required.
(c) To conform certain noncontrolling interest transactions to U.S. GAAP. Under IFRS, for business combination transactions, noncontrolling interests can be measured at fair value, including goodwill, or alternatively at their share of the fair value of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets whereas under U.S. GAAP noncontrolling interests are measured at fair value including goodwill.
(d) Reflects the cumulative income statement effect of the IFRS to U.S. GAAP adjustments.
(e) Reflects the period income tax effect of the IFRS to U.S. GAAP adjustments noted above.

U.S. Federal Withholding Tax Consequences of the Merger to Endo International

If the merger qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code and Section 367(a) of the Code does not apply, then Endo International should be treated as receiving a distribution from Endo U.S. Inc. prior to the merger. Such deemed distribution should be treated as a taxable dividend to the extent of Endo U.S. Inc.’s current and accumulated earnings and profits for the year of the deemed distribution and should be subject to U.S. withholding tax in accordance with the U.S.-Ireland Tax Treaty. As of the date of this filing, this amount is not known. As such, it is not possible to know the exact amount of the withholding tax for purposes of the unaudited pro forma combined financial information. Endo International does not expect the withholding tax to exceed $7.5 million and has designated this amount as restricted cash and cash equivalent on its unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is determined that Section 367(a) of the Code does apply (because, for example, the Endo International income amount does not exceed the U.S. shareholders built-in gain


amount), the deemed distribution and U.S. withholding tax rules would not apply. In such a case, the gain realized by EHSI’s U.S. shareholders would be subject to U.S. federal income tax and the excise tax of Section 4985 would apply with respect to certain officers and directors of Endo International. If the excise tax becomes applicable, EHSI would provide certain covered individuals with a payment with respect to the excise tax, so that, on a net after-tax basis, they would be in the same position as if no such excise tax was incurred. EHSI does not expect the excise tax reimbursement to exceed $60.0 million and has designated this amount as restricted cash and cash equivalent on its unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet.

Note 3. Estimated acquisition consideration for Paladin

Upon completion of the Paladin Acquisition, each issued and outstanding Paladin share was converted into the right to receive C$1.16 in cash, 1.6331 newly issued Endo International shares and one common share of Knight Therapeutics, and options to acquire Paladin shares were settled on a cash-less exercise basis for Endo International shares and common shares of Knight Therapeutics in an amount reflecting the Paladin Acquisition consideration.

The acquisition consideration, excluding the value of one Knight Therapeutics share per Paladin share, is as follows (in thousands of USD, except for per share amounts):

Notes:

 

(1) Represents the cash consideration per the Arrangement Agreement of C$1.16 per Paladin share translated into USD utilizing an exchange rate of $0.9402.
(2) Under ASC 805, the fair value of vested stock option awards attributed to pre-combination services is accounted for as purchase price consideration. There were a total of 1.3 million vested Paladin stock options outstanding as of February 28, 2014 with an estimated fair value of $131.3 million, which is accounted for as purchase price consideration under ASC 805.

Note 4. Preliminary estimated purchase price allocation

The pro forma adjustments to allocate the acquisition consideration are preliminary and will remain so until our management determines the final acquisition consideration and the fair values of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. The final determination of the purchase price allocation is anticipated to be completed as soon as practicable after the closing of the Paladin Acquisition. The final amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed could differ materially from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements.


The preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase price to the fair value of Paladin’s assets and liabilities assumed as if the acquisition date was December 31, 2013 is presented as follows (in thousands of USD):

Adjustments included in the table above are for the following:

a. Reflects the acquisition of the historical book value of net assets of Paladin as of December 31, 2013 and $24.8 million of estimated transaction costs incurred by Paladin which reduced net assets acquired.

b. After giving effect to IFRS to U.S. GAAP adjustments, Paladin’s historical balance sheet includes $163.3 million of goodwill and other intangible assets, which are not recorded under the acquisition method of accounting.

c. Represents the estimated adjustment to step-up inventory to fair value. This estimated step-up in inventory is preliminary and is subject to change based upon management’s final determination of the fair values of finished goods and work-in-process inventories. Endo International will reflect the fair value of Paladin’s inventory as the acquired inventory is sold. As there is no continuing impact of the inventory step-up on Endo International’s results, the amortization expense on the increased inventory value is not included in the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations.

d. Of the total estimated consideration, approximately $549.5 million relates to definite-lived intangible assets which are expected to be amortized over a weighted average useful life of eleven years. Amortization related to the value of the definite-lived intangible assets is reflected as a pro forma adjustment to the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations. IPR&D of $126.5 million will be capitalized and accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets and will be subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of the projects. Upon successful completion of the projects and launch of the products, we will make a separate determination of useful life of the IPR&D intangibles and amortization will be recorded as an expense. As IPR&D intangibles are not currently marketed, no amortization of these items is reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations.

The fair value estimate for definite-lived intangible assets and IPR&D assets is preliminary and is determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset, based on the most advantageous market for the asset (i.e., its highest and best use). This preliminary fair value estimate could include assets that are not intended to be used, may be sold or are intended to be used in a manner other than their best use. For purposes of the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial information, it is assumed that all assets will be used in a manner that represents their highest and best use. The final fair value determination for definite-lived intangible assets and IPR&D assets, may differ from this preliminary determination.

The fair value of definite-lived intangible assets is determined primarily using the “income approach”, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of the definite-lived intangible assets valuations, from the perspective of a market participant, include the estimated net cash flows for each year for each project or product (including net revenues, cost of sales, research and development costs, selling and marketing costs and working capital/asset contributory asset charges), the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream as well as other factors. The major risks and uncertainties


associated with the timely and successful completion of the IPR&D projects include legal risk and regulatory risk. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change or the timely completion of each project to commercial success will occur. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.

e. Represents the fair value adjustment for non-controlling interest. The minority interest for Litha Healthcare Group Limited (“Litha”), estimated at US$35.6 million, is based on a current share price of Litha translated into USD, or approximately US$0.22 multiplied by the number of outstanding shares of Litha currently not owned by Paladin, which is approximately 161.5 million shares. The estimated fair value of non-controlling interest of Laboratorios Paladin SA (“Paladin Mexico”) was estimated to be approximately $34.0 million. To estimate the fair value of Paladin Mexico’s non-controlling interest we utilized an “income approach”, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. The implied fair value of Paladin Mexico was then multiplied by the current non-controlling interest percentage to arrive at the estimated fair value of Paladin Mexico’s non-controlling interest. The final fair value determination for non-controlling interests may differ from this preliminary determination.

f. Reflects a deferred income tax liability primarily resulting from fair value adjustments for the identifiable intangible assets and inventory. This estimate of deferred tax liabilities was determined based on the excess book basis over the tax basis of the fair value step-ups attributable to identifiable intangible assets and inventory acquired at an estimated 27% blended statutory tax rate. This estimate of deferred income tax liabilities is preliminary and is subject to change based upon management’s final determination of the fair values of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed by jurisdiction.

g. Goodwill, currently estimated at $2,128.4 million, represents the excess of the preliminary estimated acquisition consideration expected to be transferred over the preliminary values assigned to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other”, goodwill is not amortized, but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances have occurred that may indicate a possible impairment.

(6) the estimated payment of $22.6 million in cash consideration to sellers for Paladin Shares (see Note 3).


b. The adjustment to restricted cash and cash equivalents reflects the following (in thousands of USD):

 

Release of restricted cash and cash equivalents (1)

   $ (770,000

Restricted cash related to excise tax (2)

     67,500

(1) the release of $770.0 million in restricted cash and cash equivalents as a result of the reorganization;
(2) the restriction of cash and cash equivalents of $67.5 million for the reimbursement of withholding or excise tax - see Note 2.

 

c. Represents the estimated fair value adjustment to step-up inventory to fair value. This estimated step-up in inventory is preliminary and is subject to change based upon management’s final determination of the fair values of finished goods and work-in-process inventories. Endo International will reflect the fair value of Paladin’s inventory as the acquired inventory is sold. As there is no continuing impact of the inventory step-up on Endo International’s results, the amortization expense on the increased inventory value is not included in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations.
d. Represents the adjustment to income taxes receivable resulting from the Endo International debt exchange and Paladin Acquisition.
e. Represents the adjustment to reflect $2,128.4 million of goodwill, which is the excess of the preliminary estimated acquisition consideration expected to be transferred over the preliminary values assigned to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
f. The adjustments reflect the incremental amount necessary to record the fair value of the Paladin intangible assets acquired of $676.0 million. Approximately $549.5 million relates to definite-lived intangible assets which are expected to be amortized over a weighted average useful life of eleven years. Amortization related to the value of the definite-lived intangible assets is reflected as a pro forma adjustment to the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations. IPR&D of $126.5 million will be capitalized and accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets and will be subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of the projects. Upon successful completion of the projects and launch of the products, Endo International will make a separate determination of useful life of the IPR&D intangibles and amortization will be recorded as an expense. As IPR&D intangibles are not currently marketed, no amortization of these items is reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations.
g. Represents the current portion of new indebtedness from the New Term Loan Credit Facility, offset by the elimination of the current portion of the Existing Term Loan Credit Facility.
h. Reflects a deferred income tax liability primarily resulting from fair value adjustments for the identifiable intangible assets and inventory. This estimate of deferred tax liabilities was determined based on the excess book basis over the tax basis of the fair value step-ups attributable to identifiable intangible assets and inventory acquired at an estimated 27% blended statutory tax rate. This estimate of deferred income tax liabilities is preliminary and is subject to change based upon management’s final determination of the fair values of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed by jurisdiction.
i. Represents the elimination of deferred taxes associated with the Existing Term Loan Credit Facility.
j. The adjustment to long-term debt, less current portion, net consists of the following components (in thousands of USD):

 

Borrowing related to the Paladin Acquisition and related financing:

  

Term Loan A

   $ 1,100,000   

Term Loan B

     425,000   

Endo International debt repayment, net of $69 million current portion

     (1,396,019

Elimination of the discount on the Existing Endo Finance Notes

     2,800   
  

 

 

 

Net change

   $ 131,781   
  

 

 

 

Less current portion of long-term debt

     23,875   
  

 

 

 

Total net change

   $ 155,656   
  

 

 

 

In connection with the retirement of the Existing Term Loan Credit Facility, Endo International eliminated approximately $8.9 million of unamortized debt issuance costs that had been capitalized and recorded in other assets. The elimination of the unamortized debt issuance costs was accounted for as an extinguishment. Additionally,we incurred approximately $44.2 million in fees in connection with borrowings under the debt exchange and New Term Loan Credit Facility. Accordingly, such fees are capitalized and included in other assets in the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet. Deferred debt issuance costs will be amortized using an effective-interest method over the life of the related debt instrument, which ranges from 1 to 8 years.


k. The adjustment to equity consist of the following components (in thousands of USD):

 

Additional paid-in capital and common stock related to the issuance of common shares of Endo International to Paladin Shareholders as merger consideration

   $ 2,866,926   

The elimination of Paladin’s historical shareholder’s equity

l. Represents the fair value adjustment for non-controlling interest. The minority interest for Litha, estimated at $36.6 million, is based on a current share price of Litha translated into USD, or approximately $0.22 multiplied by the number of outstanding shares of Litha currently not owned by Paladin, which is approximately 161.5 million shares. The estimated fair value of non-controlling interest of Paladin Mexico was estimated to be approximately $34.0 million. To estimate the fair value of Paladin Mexico’s noncontrolling interest we utilized an “income approach”, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. The implied fair value of Paladin Mexico was then multiplied by the current non-controlling interest percentage to arrive at the estimated fair value of Paladin Mexico’s non-controlling interest. The final fair value determination for non-controlling interests may differ from this preliminary determination.
m. Reflects a net increase in amortization expense on the definite-lived intangible assets of Paladin, which were revalued upon acquisition. These assets have a weighted average useful life of 11 years.
n. The net adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2013 were (i) to recognized expense on additional debt of $1,100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Term Loan A, (ii) to recognize expense on additional debt of $425.0 million aggregate principal amount of Term Loan B and (iii) to annualize expense on existing debt of $700.0 million of New Senior Notes which were issued on December 19, 2013 (in thousands of USD):

On an as adjusted basis, after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, as of December 31, 2013, Endo International’s aggregate principal debt outstanding would have consisted of $1,544.9 million of floating rate debt and $2,384.4 million of fixed-rate debt. Based on the pro forma amount of floating-rate debt outstanding at December 31, 2013, a 1/4% rise in interest rates would result in approximately $3.9 million incremental interest expense.

o. Estimated income tax rates of approximately 36% and 27% for EHSI and Paladin, respectively, have been used for the pro forma adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2013. The estimated income tax rates are based on the applicable enacted statutory tax rates for the periods referenced above and appropriately reflect certain basis differences of Endo International and Paladin that will not result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the related financial reporting asset or liability will be recovered or settled. These rates are estimates and do not take into account future income tax strategies that may be applied to the combined entity.
p. The adjustment to income taxes represents the additional tax benefit resulting from the reorganization and certain financing arrangements and affiliates.
