Exhibit 99.1

 

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 

To the Sole Shareholder of
Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L.U.:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L.U. and Subsidiaries (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets at 31 December 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated income statements, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and the consolidated statements of cash flows 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 accounting principles generally accepted in Spain; 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 of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from 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 auditor’s 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 auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company'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 Company'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 financial position of Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L.U. and Subsidiaries at 31 December 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Spain.

 

Other Matter

 

Accounting principles generally accepted in Spain vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 28 to the consolidated financial statements.

1.Description of the Group

 

Parent and the Group’s activities

 

Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L.U. (the “Parent”) was incorporated on 18 January 2007, with the corporate name “Gadea Pharmaceutical Group, S.L.”. On 29 June 2011, at the Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors agreed to change its corporate name to its current name.

 

Currently, its registered address and headquarters are at Parque Tecnológico de Boecillo (Valladolid).

 

Its corporate purpose includes the following businesses:

 

The provision of scientific and technical advice and advice on the organization and optimization of companies in the pharmaceutical sector, including the chemical industry.

 

The provision of management advice on companies’ domestic operations, including imports and exports, patents, waste management, and the manufacture and sale of chemical products.

 

The manufacture, sale, study, design, programming, acquisition, handling and trade, in Spain and abroad, of raw materials, intermediate, semi-finished and finished products, for the chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, veterinary, and food industries, except for those products which may only be sold, stored or handled by specific companies in accordance with the Law.

 

The planning, programming, study, sale, investigation and development of chemical, pharmaceutical, veterinary, cosmetic and food processes, and the sale of related technologies. The design and implementation of industrial processes or chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, veterinary and food products in factories.

The acquisition, tenure, and sale of all types of real estate asset, including shares in any type of company, and those that do not have securities, excluding businesses regulated under special legislation.

 

 

 

 

Currently, the Parent’s business is focused on the corporate development of the Group which it heads, together with identifying, analyzing and selecting new products and potential investment opportunities for the Group. Its business also includes owning shares in companies that provide services to the Group’s companies, and acting as a channel and distributor for the financing obtained from financial institutions by the Parent or by the other Group companies, based on each company’s funding needs and projects.

 

Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L.U. is the head of an international Group (“Grupo Gadea” or “Gadea Group”) comprised of companies dedicated to the development and subsequent manufacture and sale of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) of pharmaceutical products.

 

During recent years, Grupo Gadea has implemented a significant investment plan and has incurred significant expenses related to the development of new factories and production lines. Grupo Gadea’s business plan for the future is based on significant forecast increases in net revenues, operating turnover and profit.

 

Ownership of the Group

 

Since 16 July 2015 all the share capital of the Parent is held by the company Exirisk Spain, S.L.U., whose registered offices are in Madrid (Spain) and whose owner is the AMRI Group, an international group (Notes 12 and 24). The parent of this group is Albany Molecular Research, Inc., a listed company whose common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Market and whose registered offices are in Corporate Circle, 26, Albany (New York - USA).

 

Subsidiary Companies (“Subsidiaries”)

 

Subsidiaries are classified as those over which the Group has effective control, which is exercised generally, although not exclusively through either direct or indirect ownership of 50% or more of the voting rights of the investee companies, or if this percentage is lower or zero, where other circumstances or agreements exist that grant the Group this control. Control is “the ability to govern the financial and operating policies of a company so as to obtain profits from its activities”.

 

The subsidiaries that have been included in the 2014, 2013 and 2012 consolidated financial statements as “fully consolidated companies” are detailed below:

(a)Companies incorporated as at 31 December 2013. Inactive in 2013.

 

Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. was incorporated in Segovia on 1 February 1996. Later, in November of the same year, it moved its registered address to Parque Tecnológico de Boecillo (Valladolid), where it also has its production facilities. Currently, Crystal Pharma, S.A.U.’s main business is the investigation, development and subsequent manufacture and sale of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) for pharmaceutical products. In 2011, it merged with Ragactives, S.L.U., a company incorporated on 23 November 2006, whose main businesses were the investigation, development, and subsequent manufacture and sale of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) for pharmaceutical products.

 

On 14 December 2005, Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. acquired the entire share capital of Crystal Pharma, Ltd. (previously Solea Pharma, Ltd.) for €23k. This investment was transferred to the Parent in 2009. This subsidiary’s registered address is in Zejtun (Malta) and its business consists of the manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) for the pharmaceutical industry, with a large part of its output sold to Group companies.

 

Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U. was incorporated on 14 June 2011, and its registered address is Parque Tecnológico de León. On 26 June 2012, this subsidiary carried out a €2,700k capital increase and in 2014 and 2013 the Parent made additional contributions to the subsidiary’s equity. Its main businesses are the investigation, development and subsequent manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products. The construction and implementation of its production plant was completed in late 2013.

 

 

 

 

Bioraw, S.L.U. and Bionice, S.L.U. were incorporated on 31 December 2013, and their corporate purpose consists of chemical biotechnical processes. Bioraw, S.L.U. commenced production of intermediate fermented products in late 2014 at its plant in San Cristóbal de Entreviñas (Zamora). Bionice, S.L.U. has not yet commenced trading. On 19 December 2014 the Parent made an additional contribution of €2,000k to the equity of Bioraw, S.L.U.

 

The information in the table above corresponds to companies’ financial position at 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012. The financial positions of the subsidiaries are stated in their respective individual financial statements.

 

During 2012 the Parent sold down 61.67% of its equity interest in Hunan Norchem Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. As a result of this transaction, the Group’s interest in Hunan Norchem declined to 5% triggering the deconsolidation of this investment.

 

Jointly controlled entities

 

Jointly controlled entities” are defined as companies which are jointly managed by the Parent and/or another of the Group’s companies and one or more third parties.

 

During 2014, 2013 and 2012 the only jointly controlled entity was Cyndea Pharma, S.L., which was accounted for in the consolidated financial statements for these periods using the proportionate method, based on the Parent’s 50% shareholding in the company. On 19 September 2014 the Parent sold this investment to another shareholder and it was therefore removed from the Group's scope of consolidation in 2014 (Note 2-e). Information relating to the jointly controlled entity at 31 December 2013 and 2012 is detailed below:

Cyndea Pharma, S.L. (previously Gideon Pharma, S.L.U.) was incorporated in Madrid on 18 May 2005 and its registered address and production facilities are located at Polígono Industrial de Ólvega (Soria). It develops and manufactures specialised pharmaceutical products and provides analytical services through “contract manufacturing”.

 

Following the sale of its investment in Cyndea Pharma, S.L., at 31 December 2014 the Group had no investments in jointly controlled entities.

 

 

 

 

Associated companies

 

Associated companies” are defined as those where the Group has powers to exercise a significant influence, but not control or joint control. This is usually because it has a direct or indirect shareholding equal to or greater than 20% of the voting rights of the investee.

 

At 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Group had no associated companies.

 

Financial year of the subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities

 

The financial year of all the subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities match that of the Parent, which is the same as the calendar year. The dates of the individual financial statements used in consolidation are therefore, 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012, with the exception of the jointly controlled entity which was removed from the scope of consolidation in 2014, for which the 2014 consolidation process only included the revenues and expenses attributable to the Group from the start of the financial year to the disposal date. The currency used by the Group and in the financial statements of all the companies is the euro.

 

2. Basis of presentation of the consolidated financial statements and principles of consolidation

 

a)Regulatory framework on financial disclosure applicable to the Group

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Parent’s Sole Director in accordance with the regulatory framework on financial reporting applicable to the Group (“Spanish Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” or “Spanish GAAP”) which is established in:

 

·The Commercial Code and other commercial law.
·Spanish standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements (approved by Royal Decree 1159/2010), Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007 and subsequent modifications) and, where appropriate, industry adaptations.
·The mandatory standards approved by the Institute of Accounting and Auditing implementing GAAP and related standards.
·Other applicable Spanish accounting standards.

 

The consolidated financial statements are an extract of the 2014, 2013 and 2012 consolidated financial statements authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Parent and ratified at the General Partners’ Meetings.

 

The 2012 consolidated financial statements were approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Parent held on 27 June 2013.

 

The 2013 consolidated financial statements were approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Parent held on 18 June 2014.

 

The 2014 consolidated financial statements were approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Parent held on 30 June 2015.

 

 

 

 

The amounts included within the documents comprising the consolidated financial statements are, unless otherwise stated, all expressed in thousands of euros.

 

b)True and fair view

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the individual accounting records of Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L.U. and of the consolidated companies (Note 1) and are presented in accordance with the applicable regulatory framework (“Spanish GAAP”) on financial reporting and, in particular, the accounting principles and criteria contained therein, so as to give a true and fair view of the Group’s net assets and financial situation at 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012 and the results of operations and of its cash flows during the years then ended.

 

The 2014, 2013 and 2012 consolidated financial statements and individual financial statements of Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L.U. were prepared by the Parent’s Directors, while the 2014, 2013 and 2012 individual financial statements of the subsidiaries were prepared by their respective Directors. All financial statements were submitted for approval by the shareholders at the respective Annual General Meetings and they were approved without any changes.

 

c)Application of non-mandatory accounting principles

 

No non-mandatory accounting principles have been applied. The Parent’s Sole Director has prepared the consolidated financial statements based on all the mandatory principles and standards that have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

 

The accompanying consolidated annual financial statements include, using the various applicable consolidation methods, all of the companies belonging to the Group, defined as the universe of companies comprising a decision-making unit, in keeping with the contents of article 42 of the Spanish Code of Commerce; the consolidation methods used are described in Note 2-d below.

 

The 2014, 2013 and 2012 consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a “going concern” basis.

 

d)Principles of Consolidation

 

The 2014, 2013 and 2012 consolidated accounts have been prepared using a “bottom-up procedure” meaning the Group’s consolidated financial statements have been obtained from each of the corresponding subgroups, starting with the smallest and moving to the largest until reaching Total Group level.

 

Subsidiaries

 

The “subsidiaries” over which the Group has effective control, as it holds a majority of the votes on their representative and decision-making bodies, have been fully consolidated and therefore the following applies:

 

 

 

 

1.All balances and transactions between the consolidated companies and material gains or losses on internal operations not carried out with third parties have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

2.Certain adjustments and reclassifications have been made to standardize the accounting principles and valuation criteria used by different companies.

 

3.When a subsidiary is acquired, its assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. Positive differences between the price of acquisition and the fair value of the net assets acquired are recorded as “Goodwill” while negative differences are expensed at the date of acquisition.

 

4.The share of profit or loss and net changes in subsidiaries' equity attributable to non-controlling interests is calculated based on the voting rights existing at that time, excluding any potential exercisable or convertible rights. Non-controlling interests' share of the investment is stated at their proportion of the fair values of the assets and liabilities recognized.

 

5.The equity and results of the subsidiary companies attributable to non-controlling interests are presented in consolidated net equity, under "Non-controlling interests", in the balance sheet, and under "Profit and loss attributable to non-controlling interests" in the consolidated income statement.

 

6.The results generated by subsidiary companies acquired during the year are included in the consolidated income statement only from the date of acquisition to the year end. Similarly, the results of subsidiary companies disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement only from the beginning of the year to the date of disposal.

 

7.Acquisitions of shares from non-controlling interests in subsidiaries that the Group previously had effective control and which, therefore, only lead to an increase in the Group’s percentage shareholding, are treated, for the purposes of consolidation, as operations with equity instruments. In accordance with Measurement and Recognition Standard No. 9, paragraph 4 of Spanish GAAP, the balance recorded under Non-controlling interests” is therefore reduced and the consolidated reserves are restated for the difference between the value of the consideration paid by the Group and the amount by which the balance under “Non-controlling interests” has been changed. No “Goodwill” whatsoever is recorded for this operation, nor does it include assets or liabilities from the consolidated balance sheet.

 

As explained in Note 1, the annual financial statements of the subsidiaries used in the onsolidation process refer to the same reporting date and cover the same period as those of the Parent.

 

The functional currency of the only foreign subsidiary is the euro, it is not therefore necessary to translate the items recorded in its balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity or statement of cash flows.

 

 

 

 

Jointly controlled entities

 

The jointly controlled entity, Cyndea Pharma, S.L. was consolidated in 2013 and 2012 using the “proportionate method”, incorporating the assets, rights and obligations and the income and expenses of this company in proportion to the Group’s shareholding in it. In 2014 the revenues and expenses of this company were consolidated in proportion to the Group's investment in its share capital, taking into account only those earned and incurred from the start of the financial year to 31 August 2014, this being the last monthly reporting date prior to the disposal of the Group's investment in said company in September 2014.

 

e)Changes in the scope of consolidation

 

The jointly controlled company Cyndea Pharma, S.L. was removed from the scope of consolidation in 2014 following the sale to a third party of the Group's shares in the capital of said company, representing 50% of its share capital.

 

The share sale transaction was recorded as a matter of public deed on 19 September 2014 and the sale price was €3,000k. The transaction generated a gain for the Group of €3,355k which was credited to “Impairment and gains/(losses) on the loss of significant influence over investments accounted for using the equity method or of joint control over a jointly-controlled entity” in the accompanying consolidated income statement for 2014. On the removal of this company from the scope of consolidation all its assets and liabilities were retired from the consolidated balance sheet, together with any adjustments for remeasurements, grants, donations and legacies received contributed to the Group, the carrying amounts of which at 31 December 2013 were as follows:

 

   Thousands of

Total assets   8,537 
Total liabilities   (11,241)

The effect of including the revenues and expenses of Cyndea Pharma, S.L. in the consolidated income statements for the years ended 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

 

 

 

 

   Thousands of Euros

(a)These revenues and expenses correspond to the period from 1 January 2014 to 31 August 2014, this being the last monthly reporting date prior to the disposal of the Group's investment in said company.

 

At 31 December 2014 the Group had no outstanding receivable in respect of the sale of its investment in Cyndea Pharma, S.L.

 

No new companies were added to the Group's scope of consolidation in 2014.

 

In 2013 there were no significant additions to or exits from the scope of consolidation. On 31 December 2013, Bioraw, S.L.U. and Bionice, S.L.U. were incorporated with a share capital of €100k each one. These subsidiaries were inactive in 2013.

 

 

 

 

There were no additions in 2012, however Hunan Norchem Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. did leave the scope of consolidation. In 2012, an equity sales purchase agreement was signed (“Equity Transfer Agreement”) under which the Parent transferred a 61.67% shareholding in Hunan Norchem Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. As a result, the Group’s shareholding in this Chinese company decreased to 5% and the company was removed from the scope of consolidation. The sale price was €2,256k, equal to the original investment (acquired in 2011). No gain or loss was therefore generated for the Group. The sales purchase agreement included a delay clause until 2013 for the payment of part of this price (€915k), which was collected upon maturity.

 

No revenues and expenses of Hunan Norchem Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. were included in the consolidated income statement for the year 2012.

 

f)Responsibility for disclosure and critical aspects of the measurement and estimation of uncertainty

 

The information contained in the consolidated financial statements is the responsibility of the Parent’s Sole Director.

 

In preparing the 2014, 2013 and 2012 consolidated financial statements, estimates made have been used on occasion to measure certain assets, liabilities, income, expenses and commitments that would not be easily determined by other sources. These estimates are based on historical information and other factors that are considered reasonable in accordance with current circumstances. These estimates refer to the following:

 

·The useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

 

·The assessment of possible impairment losses on certain assets. When measuring non-current assets other than financial assets, estimates must be made to determine their fair value to assets whether they are impaired. To determine fair value, the Group’s directors estimate, as warranted, the expected cash flows from the assets or the cash-generating units to which the belong, applying an appropriated discount rate to calculate the present value of these cash flows (Note 6).

 

·The classification of leases as operating or financial.

 

·The fair value of certain financial instruments.

 

·The amount of the provisions. The Group has made judgments and estimates as to the likelihood that risks will materialize that could require that a provision be recognized, as well as the corresponding amounts. A provision is recognized only when the risk is considered probable, by estimating the cost that would be generated by the obligating event.

 

·The application of deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences pending reversal, unused tax credits and tax losses to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which these assets may be utilized. To determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, the Directors estimate the amounts and dates on which future taxable profits will be obtained and the reversion period of taxable temporary differences.

 

 

 

 

·Taxation. In accordance with prevailing tax legislation, tax returns cannot be considered final until they have been inspected by the tax authorities or until the four-year inspection period has elapsed. The Parent’s Sole Director believes that no significant additional tax liabilities would arise for the Group in the event of a tax inspection.

 

Although these estimates were made with the best information available at 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012, future events may make it necessary to review these estimates (upwards or downwards) in the coming years. Any such changes would be applied prospectively in the consolidated income statement in the years affected.

 

g)Grouping of items

 

Certain items in the consolidated balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and statement of cash flows are grouped together to facilitate their understanding; however, whenever the amounts involved are significant, the information is broken down in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

h)Changes in accounting criteria

 

There were no significant changes to the accounting criteria applied between 2012, 2013 and 2014.

 

i)Correction of errors

 

No significant errors were identified in the preparation of the 2014, 2013, and 2012 consolidated financial statements that would have led to a restatement of the amounts included in the previous year’s consolidated financial statements, respectively.

 

3.Business Combinations

 

During 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Group did not carry out any business combinations.

 

4.Distribution of the Parent’s profit

 

The distributions of the Parent’s 2014, 2013 and 2012 profits were approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meetings on 30 June 2015, on 18 June 2014 and on 27 June 2013, respectively, as detailed below:

 

 

 

 

   Thousands of Euros 
   2014   2013   2012 
             
Basis of distribution:               
Profit for the year   2,224    6,341    1,834 
                
Distribution:               
Legal Reserves   223    634    183 
Voluntary Reserves   1,001    1,357    651 
Dividends   1,000    4,350    1,000 
    2,224    6,341    1,834 

 

Dividends paid during the year

 

The 2014 dividends were entirely distributed during 2014. On 18 June 2014 the Board of Directors agreed to the distribution of dividends of €1,000k from 2014 profit, which was recorded under “Interim dividends” in the consolidated balance sheet at 31 December 2014, and charged to “Capital and Reserves” (Note 12).

 

On 2 March 2015 the Parent agreed to the distribution of a dividend of €1,900k from voluntary reserves and of an interim dividend from 2015 profit of €21,200k.

 

On 27 June 2013, the Board of Directors agreed to the distribution of a dividend from 2013 profits which amounted to €4,350k.

 

On 21 June 2012, the Board of Directors agreed to the distribution of a dividend from 2012 profits which amounted to €1,000k. This dividend was paid on 10 July 2012.

 

The statutory provisional financial statements prepared by the Parent’s Board of Directors, in accordance with Article 277 of the Limited Liability Companies Law, disclosing that the Group has sufficient liquidity for the distribution of the aforementioned interim dividends against 2014, 2013 and 2012 profits were as follows:

 

 

 

 

Cash Statement for the Distribution  Thousands of Euros 
of the Interim Dividend  02/03/15   18/06/14   27/06/13   21/06/12

Available cash   26,972    5,151    7,429    4,307 

 

The Parent's Board of Directors ensured that it met the requirement that the amounts distributed in 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012 may not exceed the profits generated to date, after deducting the estimated amount of the Income Tax payable on the profits for each year.

 

5.Accounting principles and policies and measurement criteria

 

The main recognition and measurement criteria used by Grupo Gadea for the preparation of the 2014, 2013 and 2012 consolidated financial statements were the following:

 

a)Goodwill or negative differences arising on consolidation

 

At the date of acquiring a subsidiary, the assets and liabilities acquired (including any contingent liabilities) are generally recorded at fair value, provided said fair value can be measured reliably. The assets and liabilities recognized by the acquiring company are those that they have received and assumed as a result of the transaction. These assets and liabilities are recognized even if they had not been previously recorded in the financial statements of the acquired company because they did not meet the criteria for recognition in said financial statements.

 

Goodwill

 

At the date of acquisition, the positive difference between the cost of the Group’s shareholdings in the subsidiary’s capital and the fair value of assets and liabilities attributable to the acquired investment are recorded under “Intangible assets-Goodwill on consolidation” in the consolidated balance sheet.

 

Goodwill is only recorded when it has been acquired for consideration, is assigned to one or more cash generating items, and represents advanced payments made by the acquiring company for the future economic benefits deriving from the assets and liabilities of the acquired company that would not be recorded or identified individually.

 

 

 

 

Goodwill is not amortized. In accordance with Spanish GAAP approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007, of 16 November, the Group opted to value all assets and liabilities at the opening balance, in accordance with the existing principles prior to the introduction of Law 16/2007, of 4 July, reforming Commercial Law to harmonize with international law and European Union regulations, with the exception of financial instruments which are stated at fair value. Therefore, “Goodwill” acquired for consideration prior to 1 January 2008 (date of transition to new GAAP) was recorded net of amortization until 31 December 2007.

 

Impairment losses on intangible assets and property, plant and equipment

 

At the end of each reporting period, goodwill is reviewed for impairments that would reduce its recoverable amount to an amount below its carrying amount. In this case, impairment losses are recorded but they cannot be reversed in subsequent periods.

 

The “impairment test” of goodwill of intangible and property, plant and equipment (Notes 5-b and 5-c) carried out by the Group is the following:

 

·The recoverable amounts are calculated for each cash generating unit, although for property, plant and equipment, where possible, the impairment calculations are performed individually for each asset.

 

·The management annually prepare a business plan by market and business for each cash generating unit, typically covering a period of 5 years. The main components of this plan are the following:

 

-Income and expenses forecasts.

 

-Investment and working capital forecasts.

 

·Other variables influencing the calculation of recoverable value are the following:

 

-The discount rate to be applied, being the weighted average of the cost of capital, which is affected by the cost of the liabilities and specific risks related to the assets.
-The growth rate applied to cash flows to extrapolate them beyond the period covered by budgets and forecasts.

 

The forecasts are made based on previous results and the best estimates available, in line with externally obtained information.

 

The Business Plans prepared have been reviewed and approved by Directors of the respective companies.

 

If there is an impairment loss from a cash generating unit to which all, or part, of an item of goodwill has been allocated, the carrying amount of goodwill relating to that unit is written down. However, if the impairment exceeds this amount, the remaining assets of this cash generating unit will be reduced in proportion to their carrying amounts, up to the higher of fair value less cost to sell, value in use, or zero.

 

 

 

 

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses (this is not permitted for goodwill), the carrying amount of the asset, or cash generating unit, is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount. However, this new carrying amount must not exceed the carrying amount that would have been recognized if no impairment loss had occurred in previous years. The reversal of an impairment loss is recorded as income.

 

At 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012 there was no indication of impairment of the amount of the goodwill recognized by the Group.

 

Negative differences on consolidation

 

If, at the date of acquiring a subsidiary, there is a negative difference between the cost of the investment and the proportional part of the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed attributable to the acquired investment, the difference is recorded as income in the consolidated income statement for the period in which the transaction took place, under the caption “Negative difference on consolidation of subsidiaries”.

 

b)Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets are valued initially at their acquisition price or cost of production, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated amortization, and any impairment losses recorded, determined in accordance with the criteria detailed in Note 5-a.

 

In particular, the Group uses the following accounting criteria for intangible assets:

 

1.Goodwill on consolidation. Described in detail in Note 5-a.

 

2.Development costs. The costs incurred in developing each project are capitalized when the following conditions are met:

 

-The cost of developing the project can be measured reliably.
-The costs are itemized for each project and relate to an identifiable asset.
-The Group can demonstrate the technical viability of the project.
-The project is likely to generate profits in the future.

 

Development expenses incurred using the Group's own resources are recorded (by type) in the consolidated income statement, while development expenses for projects which meet the above conditions are debited to “Development Expenses” in the consolidated balance sheet and credited to “Own work capitalized” in the consolidated income statement.

 

Capitalized development expenses are generally amortized on a straight line basis over their useful life, which is estimated at between 4 and 5 years. However, when there are reasonable doubts regarding the technical success or profitability of a project, these expenses will be recorded directly in the income statement, for the year in which the doubts occur.

 

The capitalized development costs at year end are itemized by project, and their cost and the year in which they were incurred can be clearly identified. The Group’s Sole Director believes in the technical success and the profitability of these projects.

 

 

 

 

Research expenses are directly expensed to the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.

 

3.Patents, licenses, trademarks, and similar. The amounts recorded under this heading correspond to patents and licenses and are recognized at the value at which they were contributed as part of a capital increase carried out by the company Ragactives, S.L.U. (absorbed in 2011 by Crystal Pharma, S.A.U.- see Note 1), at the amount at which they were recognized when the Group took the control of the entities that hold such patents and licenses or at the amount paid to third parties by the Group for the acquisition of ownership or rights to use the related items. They are amortized over a period of five years from the date they begin to generate profits from the manufacture and subsequent sale of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) protected by patents, and in proportion to the estimated profit, used to calculate the value of these assets.

 

4.Computer software relates to the costs incurred from the acquisition and development of computer programs. They are amortized on a straight line basis over a period of 4 to 5 years, from the date they are first used. Computer software maintenance costs are recorded in the consolidated income statement in the year in which they are incurred.

 

c)Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at their acquisition price, or cost of production. Property, plant and equipment acquired through business combinations are stated at their fair value at the date of acquisition. Assets from mergers are recorded at the value assigned on contribution to the Group, or at values attributed to the items in the Group’s consolidated financial statements, in the case of Group companies absorbed by the Parent.

 

The initial valuation is adjusted by the respective accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. When there is an indication of impairment, the Group performs “impairment tests” (Note 5-a) to estimate the possible loss of value that may reduce the recoverable value of these assets to less than their carrying amount. Impairment losses are disclosed in said Note under “Impairment of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment”. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less selling costs and the value in use.

 

When there are signs that the value of an impaired tangible asset has recovered, the Group reverses impairment losses recognized in previous years in the consolidated income statement, adjusting future depreciation charges accordingly. The increased carrying amount may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss previously been recognized for the asset.

 

Work carried out by the Group on its own property, plant and equipment includes the accumulated cost of external and internal costs, based on the consumption of materials and staff costs which are allocated using hourly rates calculated on the basis of the actual costs of these personnel. At 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012, there were no amounts of this nature recorded under property, plant and equipment.

 

 

 

 

For assets that take more than one year to get ready for use, the capitalized costs include any borrowing costs incurred before the asset is ready for use that have been billed by the supplier or that relate to loans or other external financing, specific or generic, directly attributable to the acquisition or manufacturing of assets. During 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Group did not capitalize interest incurred in respect of assets.

 

Repair and maintenance expenses incurred during the year are expensed to the consolidated income statement. However, the cost of extensions, modernizations or improvements that increase the productivity, capacity or efficiency or prolong the useful life of an asset are capitalized as an increase in the cost of said asset.

 

Retirements of assets and other items, whether for reasons of modernization or for any other reason, are accounted for by derecognizing the balances shown in the corresponding cost and accumulated depreciation accounts together with any impairment losses recognized.

 

The Group transfers property, plant and equipment under construction to operating assets at the moment they become available, and depreciation is charged from this moment.

 

Property, plant and equipment used in operations are depreciated on a straight-line basis, based on the acquisition cost, cost of production, or if applicable, the restated value less their residual value. The land where the buildings and facilities are located has an indefinite useful life, and therefore is not subject to depreciation. Annual depreciation charges on property, plant and equipment are recorded under “Amortization and depreciation” in the consolidated income statement over the estimated useful life of the assets as indicated below:

 

Asset Type  Estimated
Useful Life
(Years)
    
Buildings  33
Machinery and equipment  6.67 to 8.33
Tools  3.33
Furniture  10
Vehicles  8.33
Computer hardware  4

 

The estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment is regularly reviewed to identify any significant changes. If identified, the depreciation expense will be prospectively adjusted in the income statement using the new useful life of these assets.

 

d)Leases

 

Leases are classified as “financial leases” when the risks and benefits from ownership of the assets are substantially transferred to the lessee. Other leases are classified as “operating leases”.

 

 

 

 

Financial leases

 

During 2014, 2013 and 2012 the Group had not signed, as a lessor or lessee, any contract that could be classified as a financial lease.

 

The assets recorded for these types of operations are depreciated using similar criteria as those applied to property, plant and equipment as a whole, in accordance with the nature of the asset.

 

Operating leases

 

Under operating leases, the ownership of rented assets and all associated risks and benefits are held by the lessor.

 

The Group can act as lessor or lessee, and the corresponding income and expenses from the lease are expensed to the income statement in the period in which they are accrued.

 

Any amount received or paid when entering into an operating lease agreement is treated as deferred income or expense and is released to the income statement over the lease term as the benefits of the leased asset are transferred or received.

 

e)Financial instruments

 

A “financial instrument” is a contract representing a financial asset in one company, and a financial liability or equity instrument in another.

 

An “equity instrument” is any contract that cedes a residual interest in the assets of the issuing entity after deducting all of its liabilities.

 

A “financial derivative” is a financial instrument whose value changes in response to changes in an observable market variable (interest rate, exchange rate, price of a financial instrument or market index), where the initial investment is very low compared to other financial instruments with similar responses to changes in market conditions and which is, as a general rule, settled on a future date.

 

Financial assets

 

The financial assets that the Group owns are classified in the following categories:

 

1.Loans and receivables: financial assets arising from the sale of goods or rendering of services as part of the company’s trading activities, or arising from non-trading activities but which are not equity instruments or derivatives and which are of a fixed or determinable amount and are not negotiable on an active market.

 

 

 

 

These financial assets are initially recorded at the fair value of the consideration given, plus any additional directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequently, they are valued at amortized cost, calculated using the “effective interest rate method”. This is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the financial instrument. For fixed-rate financial instruments, the effective interest rate coincides with the interest rate established at the moment of acquisition, and is adjusted, where applicable, for commissions and other transaction costs which must be included in the calculation of this effective interest. For financial instruments with a variable interest rate, the effective interest rate is estimated similarly to the fixed interest rate, and is recalculated at each interest rate review date, taking into account changes in the future cash flows of the financial instruments.

 

At least at each reporting date, the Group carries out an “impairment test” on these financial assets. Objective evidence of impairment is considered to exist if the recoverable value of the financial asset is lower than its carrying amount. When this occurs, the impairment loss is expensed to the consolidated income statement.

 

With respect to trade and other receivables, at 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012 certain consolidated companies (only the subsidiary Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. at 31 December 2014) had a credit guarantee policy covering part of its individual customer balances within approved risk limits. For those balances not covered by this policy, valuation adjustments are made based on an individual analysis of each customer and receivable, recognizing any necessary impairment loss where a risk of non-payment has been identified.

 

2.Financial assets available for sale: these include debt securities and equity instruments of other companies that have not been classified in another category. They are recorded at their fair value under “Equity” until disposed of or it is determined that they have become (permanently) impaired, at which time the cumulative gains and losses previously recognized in equity are taken to the consolidated income statement. Investments in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably calculated are valued at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

 

3.Other financial assets mainly comprise of deposits paid and cash term deposits that are recorded in the balance sheet at their nominal value, given that the effect of not discounting the future cash flows is not material.

 

The Group writes-off financial assets when they expire, or when the rights to the asset’s cash flows are ceded and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.

 

Financial liabilities

 

Financial liabilities are borrowings and other payables that have arisen from the purchase of goods or services in the normal course of the Group’s business and those which, not having commercial origin, cannot be classed as derivative financial instruments.

 

Debts and payables are initially measured at the fair value of the consideration received, adjusted for any directly attributable transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is calculated using the “effective interest rate” method.

 

The Group writes-off financial liabilities when the obligations they generated no longer exist.

 

 

 

 

Interest income and dividends generated by financial assets

 

Interest and dividends from financial assets accrued subsequent to acquisition are recognized as income in the consolidated income statement. Interest is recognized using the effective interest rate method; dividends are recognized when the right to receive them is established.

 

To this end, financial assets are recognized separately upon initial measurement based on maturity, accrued explicit interest receivable at that date, and the dividends approved by the competent governing body up to the date the assets are acquired. Explicit interest refers to the contractual interest rate applied to the financial instrument.

 

Equity instruments

 

Equity instruments issued by the Parent are recorded under “Net equity” in the consolidated balance sheet for the consideration received, net of issuing costs.

 

Derivative instruments

 

The Group uses financial derivatives, principally “Interest Rate Swaps” (IRS), to reduce its exposure to interest rates. When these transactions meet certain requirements, they are considered to be “hedging instruments”. At 31 December 2014 the Group had no derivative financial instruments as the only instrument of this type that the Group had contracted with a financial institution matured in June 2014. At 31 December 2013 and 2012, the financial derivative that the Group had contracted met the requirements to be classified as a “hedging instrument”. Changes in the fair value of this instrument in 2013 and 2012 were, therefore, recognized in net equity in the consolidated balance sheet under “Adjustments for changes in value” (Notes 13 and 16).

 

f)Inventory

 

The Group uses the following criteria to value its inventory:

 

·Raw materials, other supplies and commodities are valued at the lower of their average weighted acquisition cost or their net realizable value. Trade and other discounts and the interest incorporated in the face value of payables are deducted from the acquisition cost.

 

·Finished and semi-finished goods and work in progress are valued at the lower of the average price of production, which is subject to regular review, or net realizable value. At 31 December 2013 and 2012 these inventories were valued at the lower of a predetermined price (which at year-end were not materially different from actual average production costs as a function of the stage of completion of product manufacturing), or net realizable value.

 

The net realizable value corresponds to the sale price, less estimated costs to complete the products, and the costs incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

 

 

 

 

Obsolete, damaged or slow moving products are written down to their realizable value. When the net realizable value is lower than the acquisition or production cost, a valuation adjustment is recorded as an expense in the consolidated income statement for that year.

 

g)Cash and cash equivalents

 

This heading includes cash, current accounts, short-term deposits and purchases of assets under resale agreements that meet the following criteria:

 

·They are readily convertible to cash.
·They mature within less than three months from the acquisition date.
·The risk of change in value is significant.
·They are part of the Group’s standard cash management strategy.

 

h)Grants, donations and legacies received

 

The Group accounts for grants, donations and legacies received as follows:

 

·Non-refundable grants, donations or legacies are recorded under “income recognized directly in net equity” (as soon as the conditions under which they will be granted are met and there are no reasonable doubts that they will be collected). They are measured at the fair value of the amount or non-monetary asset received, and expensed over the life of the subsidized assets or when they are disposed of or an impairment loss is recognized, with the exception of grants received from the Parent’s shareholders which are recorded directly in “Capital and reserves” and do not give rise to the recognition of income of any kind.

 

·Refundable grants are recognized as liabilities while they remain repayable.

 

·Operating subsidies are taken to income the moment they are granted, unless they are used to finance future operating losses, in which case they will be taken to income in the corresponding financial period. If they are granted to finance specific expenses, they are expensed when the financed costs are incurred.

 

i)Provisions and contingencies

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Parents’s Sole Director distinguishes between the following:

 

a)Provisions: credit balances covering current obligations arising as a result of past events, the settlement of which will probably result in a future outflow of funds but whose amount and/or timing are uncertain.

 

b)Contingent liabilities: possible obligations arising as a result of past events, whose materialization is dependent on the occurrence, or otherwise, of one or more future events falling outside the Group's control.

 

 

 

 

Provisions are recognized in the balance sheet wherever it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated balance sheet, but rather are disclosed in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements, unless the possibility of an outflow in settlement is considered to be remote.

 

Provisions are measured at the present value of the best possible estimate of the amount required to settle or transfer the obligation, taking into account the information available on the event and its consequences. Where discounting is used, adjustments made to provisions are recognized as financial expense on an accrual basis.

 

The compensation receivable from a third party on settlement of the obligation is recorded as an asset, provided that there are no doubts that the reimbursement will take place, unless there is a legal relationship whereby a portion of the risk has been externalized as a result of which the Company is not liable. In this situation, the compensation will be taken into account for the purpose of estimating the amount of the related provision that should be recorded.

 

Lawsuits and/or claims in progress

 

At 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012 there were no lawsuits or legal claims in progress against the consolidated subsidiaries that could have a material effect on the consolidated annual financial statements for 2014, 2013 and 2012.

 

j)Commitments to personnel

 

Multi-year remuneration plan

 

In 2013 Parent’s Directors approved a multi-year remuneration plan for certain Grupo Gadea employees. The plan consisted of payments of determined amounts during 2014, 2015 and 2016, accruing between 2013 and 2015, provided that the employees remain in the Group, and certain strategic objectives are met. The total amount for all the Group’s companies amounted to €360k. The amount accrued by the Group as at 31 December 2014 for this item amounted to €120k, recorded under “Trade and other payables-Other payables” in the 2014 consolidated balance sheet, and under “Personnel expenses-Balances, salaries and similar” in the 2014 consolidated income statement (the same amount and expense in the 2013 consolidated financial statements).

 

k)Severance payments

 

Under current employment legislation, the Group companies are obliged to pay termination benefits to employees whose contract is terminated under certain conditions. Termination benefits that can be reasonably quantified are recognized as an expense in the year in which the decision to terminate the employment relationship is taken and there is a valid expectation on the part of the affected third party that the dismissal will take place. No provision of this nature was recorded in the 2014, 2013 and 2012 consolidated financial statements, as this situation is not expected to arise.

 

l)Income tax

 

The income tax cost or income comprises both current income tax and deferred tax items.

 

 

 

 

Current income tax is the amount payable by the Group to settle income tax for a given year. Tax credits and other tax benefits, excluding tax withholdings, interim payments on account and tax loss carryforwards applied in the year reduce the current income tax liability.

 

The deferred tax expense or income relates to the recognition or derecognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities. These include timing differences measured at the amount expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities and their tax bases, as well as tax losses pending carryforward and tax credits not applied. These amounts are recorded applying to the timing difference or credit in question the tax rate at which they are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable timing differences, except for those arising from the initial recognition of goodwill and other assets and liabilities in operations that affect neither tax income nor accounting income and which are not a business combination.

 

However, deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that the Company believes it is likely to have sufficient taxable profits in the future against which they can be used.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities from transactions charged or credited directly to equity are also recognized in a balancing entry under equity.

 

At the end of each reporting period, the deferred tax assets recorded are reviewed and appropriate adjustments are made where there are doubts as to their future recoverability. At the end of each reporting period the deferred tax assets that have not been recorded in the consolidated balance sheet are also reviewed and recognized if their recovery against future taxable profits is likely.

 

Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L.U. and its Spanish consolidated subsidiaries (Crystal Pharma, S.A.U., Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U., Bioraw, S.L.U. and Bionice, S.L.U.) file consolidated corporate income tax returns as part of Tax Group 0075/09, whose Parent is Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L.U. (Notes 1 and 17).

 

The Institute of Accounting and Auditing and the Group’s policies establish that for each company in the consolidated tax Group, the income tax or expense is determined based on the profit before taxes plus or minus any permanent differences from the taxable profit, which is understood as the tax base, less deductions and credits corresponding to each company of the tax Group in the consolidated tax regime.

 

m)Revenues and expenses

 

Revenues and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis, i.e. when the actual flow of the related goods and services occurs, regardless of when the resulting monetary or financial flow occurs. Revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, net of discounts and taxes.

 

Revenues are recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods sold have been transferred to the buyer, the asset is no longer part of the operating assets of the company and effective control is not retained.

 

 

 

 

Revenue from services provided are proportionally recognized in the income statement using the percentage of completion method, provided the outcome of the transaction can be reliably estimated.

 

Revenues from the sale and transfer of pharmaceutical “dossiers” are recognized when the consideration received is non-refundable, it relates to the compensation of costs incurred before the sale or transfer, the Group has assumed no obligations under conditions other than those prevailing in the market, and the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred. Otherwise, the receipt is recognized as deferred income until the commitments established fall due, for the remaining life of the product, or for a specific period established in the agreements.

 

Interest income from financial assets is recognized using the “effective interest rate” method. All interest accrued on financial assets after the acquisition date is recognized as income in the consolidated income statement.

 

n)Classification of assets and liabilities as current

 

Assets and liabilities are classified as either current or non-current in the consolidated balance sheet. Current assets and liabilities are those that the Group expects to sell, use, or pay in the ordinary course of business, within 12 months. All other assets and liabilities are classified as non-current, except those that are expected to be recovered, used, or settled within 12 months of the end of the reporting period. When the Group does not have an unconditional right by the year end to defer settlement of a liability for at least twelve months as from the end of the reporting period, the liability is recorded as current.

 

o)Transactions in foreign currency

 

Assets and liabilities whose price is stated in foreign currency are converted to the national currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction, or at the date when the assets were included in the Group’s equity.

 

Accounting entries in currencies other than the euro are translated at the end of the reporting period using the exchange rate prevailing at that date. The resulting gains or losses are directly expensed to the consolidated income statement for the corresponding year.

 

p)Transactions with related parties

 

The Group carries out transactions with related parties on an arm’s length basis. Transfer prices are adequately documented, and therefore the Parent’s Sole Director believes that there are no associated risks that could give rise to material liabilities in the future.

 

 

 

 

q)Environmental issues

 

Environmental assets and liabilities

 

Environmental assets are deemed to be assets used on a lasting basis in the Group’s operations whose main purpose is to minimize the Group’s environmental impact, and protect and improve the environment, including the reduction or elimination of future pollution. These assets are recorded under “Property, plant and equipment” in the consolidated balance sheet.

 

These assets are recorded under “Property, plant and equipment” in the consolidated balance sheet. Such assets are measured in accordance with the criteria disclosed in Note 5-c.

 

Environmental expenses

 

Expenses incurred to offset the environmental effects of the Group’s operations or corresponding to existing environmental commitments are recorded as environmental expenses. This includes expenses incurred to prevent pollution by existing operations, in waste treatment, decontamination, and environmental management and audit.

 

Said environmental expenses are treated as operating expenses in the period in which they are accrued and are recorded as such in the consolidated income statement.

 

r)Discontinued operations

 

A discontinued operation is a line of business that has been terminated or disposed of, and whose assets, liabilities and profits can be distinguished physically, operationally or for financial accounting purposes. Revenues and expenses from discontinued operations are presented separately in the consolidated income statement.

 

During 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Group had no discontinued operations.

 

s)Cash flow statements

 

The following terms are used in the cash flow statement with the meanings specified:

 

·Cash flows: cash inflows or outflows, understood as short-term, highly liquid investments, subject to low risk of changes in value.

 

·Operating activities: the Group’s principal revenue-producing and other activities that cannot be classified as investing or financing activities.

 

·Investment activities: the acquisition, sale or disposal by other means of long term assets and other investments not classified as cash and cash equivalents.

 

·Financing activities: activities that result in changes in the size and composition of equity and financial liabilities.

 

·Cash and cash equivalents includes cash, current accounts with banks and deposits and reverse repurchase agreements which meet the following requirements:

 

They are convertible to cash.
They mature within three months of the acquisition date.
There is no significant risk of change in value.
They form part of the Company’s normal treasury management policies.

 

 

 

 

t)Consolidated statement of changes in equity

 

The movements in consolidated net equity in the period are disclosed in the statement of changes in equity, comprising the statement of recognized income and expense and the statement of total changes in net equity:

 

Statement of recognized income and expenses

 

Income and expenses generated by the Group in the normal course of business during the period are recorded in this part of the consolidated statement of changes in equity, distinguishing between items recognized as income in the consolidated income statement of the period, and other income and expenses recorded directly in consolidated net equity, in accordance with the regulatory framework.

 

The statement of recognized income and expenses statement includes the following:

 

a)The profit or loss for the period.

 

b)Net income and expenses taken directly to consolidated net equity (revenues net of expenses incurred in the year that were taken directly to equity even though in the same year they will be transferred to the consolidated income statement or to the initial value of other assets or liabilities, or will be reclassified under another heading).

 

c)Transfers to the consolidated income statement from consolidated net equity (remeasurement gains and losses and capital grants previously recorded in consolidated net equity, albeit in the same year).

 

d)Total recognized income and expenses, calculated as the sum of the above.

 

The amounts of these items are recorded at their gross amount, showing their corresponding tax effect under the heading “Tax effect”.

 

Consolidated statement of changes in consolidated net equity

 

This statement discloses all changes to net equity including those that originate from changes in accounting criteria and from the correction of errors. It therefore reconciles the opening and closing carrying amounts of the items forming net equity, grouping the movements as follows:

 

a)Adjustments due to changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors: changes in net equity as a result of the restatement of the balances in the financial statements due to changes in accounting policies or the correction of errors.

 

b)Recognized income and expenses in the period: includes the aggregated total of all items recorded in the aforementioned consolidated income statement.

 

Other changes in net equity: the remaining items recorded in consolidated net equity, such as increases or decreases in the Parent’s capital, the distribution of income, operations with own equity instruments, payments with equity instruments, transfers between consolidated net equity items, and any other increase or decrease in consolidated net equity.

Goodwill on consolidation

 

The breakdown of this caption of the balance sheets at 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012 was the following:

 

 

 

 

   Thousands of Euros 
Company  31/12/14   31/12/13   31/12/12 
             
Crystal Pharma, S.A.U.   2,046    2,046    2,046 
Crystal Pharma, Ltd.   134    134    134 
Cyndea Pharma, S.L.   -    229    229 
    2,180    2,409    2,409 

 

On 24 April 2007 the Parent acquired shares representing 100% of the share capital of Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. and Ragactives, S.L.U., by means of a non-monetary contribution. The latter company was acquired in 2011 by Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. (Note 1). To calculate the goodwill on consolidation from this acquisition, the Group previously assigned a portion of the positive goodwill to patents and the ownership of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) (based on the current value of the gross margin of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) being redeveloped), to its inventories of finished products and work in progress at that date (based on a margin applied to said inventories at the date of acquisition), and to a tax credit for R&D deductions pending application by the acquired companies at the end of the 2006 reporting period.

 

On 14 December 2005 Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. acquired shares representing 100% of the share capital of Crystal Pharma, Ltd., with registered address in Malta, and previously registered as Solea Pharma, Ltd. (Note 1). To calculate the goodwill on consolidation, the Group previously assigned a portion of the positive goodwill inherent in the property, plant and equipment of this company, based on an expert valuation made at the time of acquisition.

 

Additions and disposals in 2014, 2013 and 2012

 

In 2014 goodwill recorded in respect of Cyndea Pharma, S.L. was retired following the Parent's sale of its investment in said jointly controlled entity and its subsequent removal from the scope of consolidation (Note 2-e).

 

There were no other changes in “Goodwill on consolidation” during 2014 and 2013, nor was any part of its value reassigned to the Group’s other assets. No impairment loss was identified in respect of goodwill during 2014, 2013 and 2012.

 

During 2012 the goodwill on consolidation relating to Hunan Norchem Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (€47k) was retired following the Parent’s sale of a significant part of its shares in this company and its subsequent removal from the scope of consolidation.

 

Impairment tests

 

The Group used the “Discounted cash flow” method to determine the recoverable amount of both the goodwill recorded at 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012, and the remaining intangible and property, plant and equipment associated with the cash generating units. The main assumptions used were the following:

 

·The Business Plan, approved by the Board of Directors of Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L.U., which is used as a starting point for the Group’s budget for the next period, was used to prepare the Group’s financial projections for the following years and the cash generating units under review.

 

 

 

 

Apart from the forecast results, investment forecasts (constant from 2015) and forecasts of changes in non-financial working capital (that would increase annually) were also prepared.

 

·The management annually prepare a business plan for each cash generating unit, covering a period typically of 5 years. The main components of this plan are the following:

 

Profit projections.
Investment and non-cash working capital projections.
·These projections cover a period of 5 years.

 

·At 31 December 2012 the most significant assumptions used are outlined below:

 

   Discount

(WACC)
   Annual

Crystal Pharma, S.A.U.   10%  10% - 15%  Constant

Cyndea Pharma, S.L.   10%  (a)  (a)

 

(a)This company began production in 2011 and was expected to ramp up to its run-rate in the coming years.

 

·At 31 December 2013 the most significant assumptions used for 2014 onwards were the following:

 

   Discount

(WACC)
   Annual

Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U.   12%  (b)  (b)

 

(a)This company began production in 2011 and was expected to ramp up to its run-rate in the later years.

 

(b)This company began trading in 2013 and was expected to reach full production capacity in later years.

 

·At 31 December 2014 the most significant assumptions used for 2015 onwards, which the former Parent’s Directors and the Parent’s Sole Director considered prudent based on past experience of the Group's business, were the following:

 

 

 

 

   Discount
Rate
(WACC)
   Annual

Crystal Pharma, Ltd.   10%   5%  Constant   0%
Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U. (a)   10%   5%  Constant   0%

 

(a)This consolidated subsidiary began trading in 2013 and is expected to reach full production capacity in later years.

 

(b)The growth rate is zero for normalized cash flows from year 5 on, in accordance with International Accounting Standards.

 

Based on the latest financial projections prepared for the future years, the Parent’s Sole Director considers that the forecast profit and cash flows regarding each consolidated subsidiary strongly support the value of the goodwill and remaining intangible assets (except certain development expenses) and property, plant and equipment. They also believe that no impairments are required. They have also carried out a sensitivity analysis of the goodwill for the impairment tests, which conclude that reasonable changes in the main assumptions will not require impairment losses to be recorded.

 

Development

 

Development expenses at 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012 mainly relate to expenses incurred by the Group on various projects to develop new products, some of which had been partially funded by the Agency of Financing, Innovation and Business Internationalization of Castilla y Leon (ADE) or the Ministry of Economy and Finance, and/or loans granted by different public bodies.

 

There were no additions in 2014. Additions in 2013 and 2012 (€858k and €97k, respectively) related mostly to the costs incurred by the jointly controlled entity Cyndea Pharma, S.L. for the pharmaceutical and clinical development of oral contraceptives, and the costs incurred by Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U. for the development of new ophthalmic and injectable medication, and to obtain intermediate active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) through biotechnical processes.

 

Retirements in 2014 relate to development expenses corresponding to the jointly controlled entity Cyndea Pharma, S.L. following its removal from the scope of consolidation (Note 2-e).

 

At the end of the 2014 and 2013 reporting periods, reasonable doubts regarding certain development projects were identified (given that in the current market conditions, they were not profitable, and/or it had been decided to postpone production until the economic situation improved and the product was more likely to be successful), and considered that their recoverable value was lower than their carrying amount. Therefore, impairment losses of €231k and €282k were recorded under “Impairment and gains on disposal of fixed assets-Impairments and losses” in the 2014 and 2013 consolidated income statements, respectively.

 

 

 

 

Patents, licenses and trademarks

 

At 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012, the balance under this heading mainly corresponded to the valuation of the rights of Crystal Pharma, S.A.U.’s main products, following incorporation in the Group, and the cost of rights over a pharmaceutical ingredient acquired in 2010 by the related company, Gentec, S.A. for €2,000k.

 

At 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Parent´s Directors assessed the recoverable value of these intangible assets. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less selling costs and the value in use. To perform the “impairment test” Directors uses the “discounted cash flow” method to calculate the value of patents, licenses and trademarks, including both forecasts of profits and cash flows from the sale of certain products under these patents and licenses, and future investment requirements. Based on the analysis carried out, the value in use was greater than the carrying amount, and therefore no impairment was required.

 

Fully amortized items

 

The intangible asset costs amortized in 2014, 2013 and 2012 totalled €488k, €663k and €1,985k, respectively.

 

Certain assets belonging to the Group (mostly patents, trademarks, and development expenses) still in use at year-end were fully amortized at 31 December 2014, with a recorded cost of €17,700k (€17,257k and €15,528k at 31 December 2013 and 2012, respectively).

 

7.Property, plant and equipment

Land and buildings

 

Land and buildings at 31 December 2014 mainly relate to the production plants that the Group owns in Parque Tecnológico de Boecillo (Valladolid), in Parque Tecnológico de León and in San Cristóbal de Entreviñas (Zamora), the latter having been acquired in 2014. At 31 December 2013 this also included the proportional part of the production plant in Polígono Industrial Emiliano Revilla de Ólvega (Soria) owned by the jointly controlled entity Cyndea Pharma, S.L. (the Group disposed of its investment in this company during 2014).

 

At 31 December 2014, the net value of the land included in “Land and buildings” amounted to €1,992k (€1,925k at 31 December 2013 and 2012).

 

Additions in 2014, 2013 and 2012

 

2014

 

The main acquisitions in 2014 corresponded to: the acquisition by the consolidated subsidiary Bioraw, S.L.U. of a production plant in San Cristóbal de Entreviñas (Zamora) and investments in said plant to refurbish and improve the facilities and make them suitable for the production of intermediate active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) using biotechnical processes; investments in expanding the steroid production plant belonging to the consolidated subsidiary Crystal Pharma, S.A.U.; investments in the specialist pharmaceutical products plant in the Parque Tecnológico de León belonging to the consolidated subsidiary Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U.; and other investments to improve and refurbish the production plant belonging to Crystal Pharma, Ltd. in Malta.

 

 

 

 

Transfers from “Property, plant and equipment-Property, plant and equipment in progress and advances” to other asset headings relate mostly to the investments in the Boecillo plant (Valladolid).

 

2013

 

The most significant additions recorded during 2013 related to investments made to complete the construction and equipment in the Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U. production plant in Parque Tecnológico de León. This process began in previous years, and the plant began operating in late 2013. During 2013, Cyndea Pharma, S.L. also invested in a cold weighing chamber and laboratory equipment. At 31 December 2013 property, plant and equipment in progress also included investments made by Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. to acquire various reactors, centrifuge equipment and a vacuum rotary drum pre-coating machine, which were installed and commissioned during 2014.

 

Transfers from “Property, plant and equipment-Property, plant and equipment in progress and advances” to other asset headings relate mostly to the investments in the León factory that began operating in 2013.

 

2012

 

Additions in 2012 mainly correspond to the implementation of a soft gelatin capsule line in Cyndea Pharma, S.L., which amounted to €1.9m, and investments in the construction of the production plant for injectable and ophthalmic medication by Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U. in Leon, which amounted to €4.7m.

 

2014, 2013 and 2012 retirements

 

Retirements in 2014 relate to development expenses corresponding to the proportional part of the production plant in Polígono Industrial Emiliano Revilla de Ólvega (Soria) owned by the jointly controlled entity Cyndea Pharma, S.L., following the sale of the Group's investment in this company and its subsequent removal from the scope of consolidation (Note 2-e).

 

No property, plant and equipment were retired in 2013, while assets retired in 2012 generated a loss of €103k for the Group.

 

Firm purchase commitments of property, plant and equipment

 

At 31 December 2013, the Group had contracted firm purchase commitments in respect of property, plant and equipment which amounted to €140k (€1,042k at 31 December 2012) whose delivery is scheduled for 2014.

 

Mortgage loans and other charges

 

The land and buildings of the production plant at Parque Tecnológico de León were mortgaged as a guarantee for the payment of a loan granted to the Parent whose outstanding principal to be repaid at 31 December 2014 and 2013 amounted to €2,713k and €2,998k, respectively (Note 16).

 

 

 

 

At 31 December 2012, Crystal Pharma S.A.U.’s land and buildings were mortgaged to guarantee the repayment of two loans granted to the Group, on which the outstanding principal amounted to €74k and €136k, respectively. During 2013, the outstanding principal of each loan was entirely repaid by the Group, and these mortgage guarantees were cancelled. Therefore, at 31 December 2014 and 2013, the land and buildings at Parque Tecnológico de Boecillo (Valladolid) were not encumbered with any mortgage.

 

Subsidies granted

 

The acquisition of some of the Group’s property, plant and equipment has been partially financed through investment grants received from public bodies (Note 14).

 

Capitalized financial expenses

 

The Group did not capitalize financial expenses as an increase in the carrying amount of “Property, plant and equipment” in 2012, 2013 or 2014.

 

Operating leases

 

In its capacity as lessee, Grupo Gadea’s most significant operating leases at 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012 relate to transport, furniture and machinery. The total lease expense during 2014 amounted to €120k (€133k and €151k in 2013 and 2012, respectively) and was recorded under “Other operating expenses-Exterior services” in the consolidated income statement (Note 19). These lease payments relate to the contractually agreed minimum payments. There are no contingent payments.

 

At 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012, and in accordance with the Group’s lease agreements, the minimum payment commitments that the Group had to lessors were not significant.

 

Assets located abroad

 

The Group’s property, plant and equipment located outside of Spain at 31 December 2014 were those owned by Crystal Pharma, Ltd., whose carrying amount at this date amounted to €1,089k (€882k and €980k at 31 December 2013 and 2012, respectively).

 

 

 

 

Fully depreciated assets

 

The property, plant and equipment cost amortized in 2014, 2013 and 2012 totalled €3,381k, €2,978k and €2,976k.

 

At 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Group had fully depreciated tangible assets still in use at year-end whose total cost value and accumulated depreciation amounted to €10,554k, €9,609k and €6,881k, respectively:

 

   Thousands of Euros 
Asset Type  31/12/14   31/12/13   31/12/12 
             
Machinery and equipment   10,011    8,151    6,544

Other fixed assets   384    1,370    261 
    10,554    9,609    6,881 

 

Insurance policy

 

The Group has insurance policies to cover the possible risks relating to property, plant and equipment. The Parent’s Sole Director considers that the cover provided by these policies is adequate.

 

8.Financial investments

 

The breakdown of “Non-current financial investments” and “Current financial investments” in the consolidated balance sheets at 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

 

   Thousands of Euros 
Item  31/12/14   31/12/13   31/12/12 
             
Non-current financial investments-               
Third party loans   -    1,000    - 
Equity instruments   9    64    246 
Non-current deposits and guarantees   13    12    11

Third party loans   -    147    915 
Other financial assets   1,006    4    264 
    1,006    151    1,179 

 

 

 

 

Non-current financial investments-Equity instruments

 

At 31 December 2012, the main investment related to a share in the capital of Hunan Norchem Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Chinese company located in Hunan whose corporate purpose is the manufacture of pharmaceutical products). During 2013, this shareholding was sold for a price similar to its carrying amount, generating no gain for the Group.

 

At 31 December 2013, the balances under this caption related to non-controlling interests in other companies, such as Iberaval, S.G.R. (mutual guarantee company based in Castilla y León) and Prouniol, S.A. (a company whose corporate purpose is to act as a vehicle for investors in the development of an industrial estate in Ólvega, Soria).

 

At 31 December 2014, the balances under this caption related to non-controlling interests in other companies, such as Iberaval, S.G.R.

 

These investments were recorded at their acquisition cost.

 

Non-current third party loans

 

At 31 December 2013, non-current third-party loans corresponded to the portion of a €2,000k participating loan granted by the Parent to the jointly controlled entity Cyndea Pharma, S.L. that had not been eliminated on consolidation, and was collectable by another shareholder of Cyndea Pharma, S.L. This loan matures on 1 January 2019, and bears a fixed interest rate of 4%, and a variable interest rate of up to 2% (based on the operating profits of Cyndea Pharma, S.L.).

 

The sale agreement in respect of the Group's investment in Cyndea Pharma, S.L., signed on 19 September 2014 (Note 2-e) stipulated that this loan must be repaid early, and said repayment was made prior to the end of the 2014 reporting period.

 

At 31 December 2014 the Group had no loans or credits pending collection from Cyndea Pharma, S.L. or its current shareholders.

 

Current third party loans

 

The amount recorded under this heading in the balance sheet at 31 December 2012 corresponded to a part (€915k) of the price of sale of a 61.67% shareholding in Hunan Norchem Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., which was collected in 2013.

 

Other current financial assets

 

The amount recorded under this heading in the balance sheet at 31 December 2014 corresponds mainly to a €1m term deposit with a financial institution which accrues interest at market rates.

 

 

 

 

Although this deposit matures in 2016, the contract allows the Group to close the account without penalty on certain dates prior to the final maturity date. As the deposit is, therefore, in practice available in the short term, the Parent's Directors decided to record it under “Current assets” in the consolidated balance sheet at 31 December 2014.

 

The amount recorded under this heading in the balance sheet at 31 December 2012 corresponds to the proportional part attributable to Gadea Group of the current account held with Cyndea Pharma, S.L. which accrues interest at market rates.

 

9.Inventories

 

At 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Group’s inventories comprised the following:

 

   Thousands of Euros 
Item  31/12/14   31/12/13   31/12/12 
             
Raw materials and other supplies   7,446    5,170    4,403 
Work in progress   6,766    7,059    5,915 
Finished products   5,738    8,175    6,126 
Prepayments to suppliers   23    20    70 
    19,973    20,424    16,514 

 

Commitments to buy and sell inventories

 

At 31 December 2014, the Group had firm purchase commitments for raw materials amounting to $5,443k (approximately €4,498k) with delivery scheduled for the first months of 2015 (€7,912k and €4,058k at 31 December 2013 and 2012, with delivery scheduled for the first months of 2014 and 2013, respectively). At 31 December 2014, the Group also had firm sales commitments for finished products amounting to €14,224k and $10,439k (approximately €22,815k) with delivery also scheduled for the first months of 2015 (€7,547k and $11,611k at 31 December 2013, with delivery scheduled for the first months of 2014 and €4,742k and $18,451k at 31 December 2012, with delivery schedule for the first months of 2013).

 

Insurance policy

 

The Group has insurance policies to cover the possible risks relating to inventories. The Parent’s Sole Director considers that the cover provided by these policies is adequate.

 

10.Sales and services provided to clients

 

Trade receivables at 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

 

   Thousands of Euros 
Item  31/12/14   31/12/13   31/12/12 
             
Sales and services provided to clients   16,606    13,554    13,210 
Trade receivables, related parties (Note 20)   2,295    2,079    1,584 
    18,901    15,633    14,794 

 

 

 

 

The Group has credit guarantee policies to ensure the collection of a significant part of the individual customer balances, within the risk limits previously approved. At 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012, no impairment losses reduced the fair value of “Trade receivables”.

 

In February 2012, the consolidated subsidiary Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. appeared before the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce upon the request of one of its customers (sales agent in the North American market) against an end customer (manufacturer of general pharmaceutical products) to recover receivables for sales made in July 2011 that had not been paid in full. At 31 December 2012 the Group received an initial payment from the client for 25% of the total invoice. However, at 31 December 2012 and 2013, the sales agent still had an account receivable amounting to €1,718k ($2,242k).

 

The arbitration process ended in June 2013, and a ruling issued and published on 7 January 2014, upholding in full the claim presented by Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. At 4 February 2014, the outstanding amount was received. The same ruling gave the subsidiary the right to recover its legal costs from the other party (without quantifying the amount). Therefore, at 31 December 2013, Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. recognized a receivable of €290k, being the best estimate of the costs incurred in this process, which the Group expected to recover during 2014. The amount recovered by this concept in 2014 did not differ significantly from that estimated by the Group.

 

11.Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash

 

At 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012, the cash recorded in the consolidated balance sheet mainly corresponded to amounts deposited in Grupo Gadea’s current accounts with financial entities, which are almost entirely in euros or US dollars, freely drawable and bearing interest at market rates.

 

Other cash equivalents

 

“Other cash equivalents” in the consolidated balance sheet comprised of highly liquid financial investments (time deposits) that are easily converted to cash and maturing in less than three months. They do not have significant risks in changing value and form part of the Group’s normal cash Directors.

 

At 31 December 2014, the Group had a €70k fixed term deposit with a financial entity, maturing after 3 months from the transaction date and bearing interest at 2%.

 

At 31 December 2013 the balance under this heading corresponded to a €66k fixed term deposit with a financial institution which bore interest at 2%.

 

The balance at 31 December 2012 related to two 3-month deposits placed in November 2012 by Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. amounting to €2,800k and bearing interest at market rates and an interest-bearing account held by Crystal Pharma, Ltd. of €62k with a yield in line with market rates (approximately 2%).

 

 

 

 

Foreign cash and cash equivalents

 

At 31 December 2014 Crystal Pharma, Ltd. had balances in Maltese bank accounts, which are disclosed below in compliance with Article 2 bis 4 b) of Royal Decree 1558/2012:

12.Shareholders’ funds (Capital and reserves)

 

Capital

 

At 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012, Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L.’s share capital comprised of 2,618,923,039 shares, each with a nominal value of €0.01, that were fully subscribed and paid. All shares have the same voting and dividend rights.

 

Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L.’s shareholder structure at 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012 was the following:

 

   Percentage Shareholding 
Shareholder  31/12/14   31/12/13   31/12/12 
             
Tendeña XXI, S.L.   38.22    38.22    35.81 
Gentec, S.A.   18.35    18.35    17.23 
3-Gutinver, S.L. (a)   13.68    13.68    12.06 
Tecnológico Seguranza, F.C.R., R.S. Fund   -    -    9.73 
Other shareholders   29.75    29.75    25.17 
    100.00    100.00    100.00 

 

(a)3-Gutinver, S.L. directly owned a shareholding of 13.68%, and indirectly owned 25.49% through Tendeña XXI, S.L. (a company in which 3-Gutinver, S.L. had a 66.70% shareholding) and 0.71% indirectly through Antartis Pharma, S.L. (a company in which 3-Gutinver, S.L. had an 11.49% shareholding).

 

During 2013, the Tecnológico Seguranza, F.C.R, R.S. fund ceased to be a shareholder of the Parent, and its shareholding was acquired by other partners.

 

 

 

 

A change in the Parent's shareholder structure in March 2015 means Gentec, S.A. is no longer a shareholder, its investment having been acquired by a majority of the other shareholders of the Parent. Later, on 16 July 2015 all the share capital of the Parent was acquired by the company Exirisk Spain, S.L.U., whose registered offices are in Madrid (Spain) and whose owner is the AMRI Group, an international group (Note 1). Accordingly, pursuant to Article 13 of the Consolidated Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law, the Parent's status as a sole-shareholder company and the identity of its shareholder has been registered at the Mercantile Registry of Valladolid (Spain). Additionally, in July 2015 the Board of Directors of Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L.U. has been replaced by a Sole Director.

 

Share premium

 

Current sales legislation allows the use of the share premium to increase the capital, and does not establish any restriction as to its use.

At 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012, the legal reserve did not reach 20% of the Parent’s share capital.

 

The legal reserve can be used to increase capital provided. Otherwise, and until the legal reserve exceeds 20% of share capital, it can only be used to offset losses, provided that no other reserves are available for that same purpose.

The consolidated subsidiary Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. is not allowed to distribute its voluntary reserves until the development expenses capitalized as intangible assets are fully amortized, unless the amount of unrestricted reserves is at least equal to the unamortized balances. At 31 December 2014, therefore, reserves of €45k were classified as restricted (€140k and €310k at 31 December 2013 and 2012, respectively).

 

In accordance with Article 273 of the Revised Text of the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law, Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. must appropriate a restricted reserve equivalent to at least 5% of the goodwill recognized in the balance sheet. If no, or insufficient profit has been generated, the appropriation will be charged to unrestricted reserves. The proposed distribution of 2014 profits not yet having been approved, at 31 December 2014 Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. appropriated restricted reserves of €105k (€70k and €35k at 31 December 2013 and 2012, respectively).

These grants were awarded mainly to finance the acquisition of property, plant and equipment (principally, new production lines and technological improvements).

 

Additions in 2014 corresponded to a Special Interest Incentive subsidy received from the Agency of Financing, Innovation and Business Internationalization of Castilla y Leon (ADE) totalling €838k to finance investments in buildings, technical facilities, machinery and IT equipment in the plant located at the Parque Tecnológico de León owned by the consolidated subsidiary Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U. At 31 December 2014 this subsidy was pending collection and was recorded under “Trade and other receivables-Other receivables from public authorities” in the consolidated balance sheet at that date (Note 17) as the Parent's Directors consider that it will be collected in 2015.

 

The capital grants corresponding to Cyndea Pharma, S.L. were retired in 2014 following its removal from the scope of consolidation (Note 2-e).

 

Additions in 2013 corresponded to a subsidy received to finance equipment in the plant located at the Parque Tecnológico de León owned by the consolidated subsidiary Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U. for the project “Research and development of lyophilized sterile products and pioneering steroid hormones for biotransformation processes”.

 

The additions recognized in 2012 corresponded for the most part to Cyndea Pharma, S.L. which obtained loans from the Ministry of Economy and the CDTI in the amounts of 1,000 thousand euros and 750 thousand euros, respectively. The Group recognized the difference between the present value of those financing agreements and the face value of the principal received as grants related to assets. They are reclassified to profit and loss on a systematic straight-line basis over the useful lives of the fixed assets they finance.

 

 

 

 

Compliance with the terms and conditions of the grants

 

The Parent’s Sole Director considers that they have complied and will continue to fully comply with the terms and conditions established in the Individual Grant Award Decisions for the grants recorded under “Net Equity” at 31 December 2014.

  

15.Non-controlling interests

 

The balance recorded under this caption in the consolidated balance sheet corresponds to the value of non-controlling interests in fully consolidated companies. The balance recorded under “Income attributable to Non-controlling interests” in the consolidated income statement corresponds to non-controlling interests' share of profit and loss for the year.

 

However, at 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012 the Group did not have any non-controlling interests and therefore no balance is recorded under these headings at those dates.

Derivatives

 

The only derivative financial instrument contracted by the Group in 2014, 2013 and 2012, which matured in June 2014, was the following:

(a)The effective start date was 8 June 2009.

 

Grupo Gadea used an in-house IRS valuation model that uses as its inputs the Euribor and long-term swap market curves to determine the fair value of interest rate derivatives.

 

The fair values of this derivative financial instrument at 31 December 2013 and 2012 were €22k and €64k, respectively, and were recorded, given its maturity date, under “Current payables-Derivatives” in the consolidated balance sheets at that dates.

 

In 2014 and 2013 the Group recorded payments in the year in settlement of said instruments totalling €22k and €43k, respectively.

 

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

 

Changes in the fair value of the interest rate derivative contracted by Grupo Gadea depend on movements in the Euribor and long-term swap market curves. An analysis of the sensitivity (changes fair value at 31 December 2013) of the fair value of the derivative recorded in “Net Equity” (“hedge accounting”) to changes to the euro interest rate yield curve, did not lead to significant impacts for Grupo Gadea.

Corporate income tax

 

As described in Note 5-l, for Corporate income tax purposes, the Spanish Parent and the consolidated subsidiary Companies file consolidated tax returns as a Tax Group of which Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L.U. is the Parent.

 

The corporate income tax charge is calculated for each consolidated subsidiary based on accounting profit, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which need not coincide with taxable income, this latter being the tax base.

 

 

 

 

The reconciliation of the 2014, 2013 and 2012 consolidated accounting profit to the consolidated tax base for corporate income tax is as follows:

(a)This amount does not include the individual permanent differences relating to dividends from the consolidated Tax Group as they have not been included in the consolidation process.

 

(b)These permanent differences correspond mainly to the contribution to the Group's profit and loss by Cyndea Pharma, S.L. in 2014 up to the date it was removed from the scope of consolidation (Note 2-e) and to gains taken to income in 2014 following the loss of joint control over said entity.

 

(c)They correspond to tax loss carryforwards generated in previous by the consolidated subsidiary Crystal Pharma, Ltd. for which the Group recognized the corresponding tax credits in the consolidated balance sheet at 31 December 2013.

(a)This adjustment corresponds to the effect of the difference between the corporate income tax rate prevailing in Spain to 31 December 2014 (30%) and the nominal rate prevailing in the financial years in which the Group expects to use the tax loss carryforwards or reverse the timing differences which generated the deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized at that date (28% in 2015 and 25% in subsequent years).

 

The breakdown of the 2014, 2013 and 2012 Corporate income tax expenses was the following:

(a)At 31 December 2013 and 2012 the Group had recognized a receivable of €77k in respect of corporate income tax overpaid by Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. in prior years. This amount was collected in 2014.

 

(b)These decreases include an amount of €14k corresponding to deductions capitalized by the Group at 31 December 2013 but which were in fact applied in the tax return for 2013 filed in July 2014 for the consolidated Tax Group.

 

Deferred tax assets

 

At 31 December 2014, “Deferred tax assets” corresponded to the following:

 

·Tax credits in respect of tax loss carryforwards, unused deductions and timing differences recognized by the consolidated subsidiary, Crystal Pharma, Ltd.

 

·The tax effect of timing differences between the recording of the amortization and depreciation expense on certain assets for accounting and tax purposes.

 

Additionally, at 31 December 2013 and 2012, “Deferred tax assets” included the following:

 

·Unused deductions and credits recognized by the consolidated subsidiaries at said date, and a receivable of €77k in respect of corporate income tax overpaid by Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. in prior years.

 

·The tax effect of changes in the fair value of the effective portion of derivative hedging instruments.

 

 

 

 

These deferred tax assets were recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as the Group was reasonably sure that they will be recovered, based on recent forecasts of the future tax bases of the consolidated subsidiaries, and where applicable, of the consolidated Tax Group to which they belong.

 

Deferred tax liabilities

 

At 31 December 2014, “Deferred tax liabilities” mainly corresponded to the following:

 

·The tax effect of non-refundable capital grants recognized in “Net Equity” (Note 14).

 

·The tax effect of applying accounting and tax criteria to the amortization of intangible assets, the Group having availed itself of the accelerated amortization option allowed under the Revised Text of the Corporate Income Tax Law.

 

Additionally, at 31 December 2013 and 2012, “Deferred tax liabilities” included the tax effect of the impairment recognized in respect of the Parent’s investment in the jointly-controlled entity Cyndea Pharma, S.L.

 

Deferred tax liabilities relating to capital grants will be written off when the corresponding grants are taken to income.

 

Tax recorded in net equity

 

At 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012, the tax balances recognized directly in “Net Equity” and their movements during 2014 and 2013 were the following:

Tax loss carry forwards yet to be applied

 

At 31 December 2014 the Spanish consolidated subsidiaries had no unused tax loss carryforwards. The consolidated subsidiary Crystal Pharma, Ltd., located in Malta, has unused tax loss carryforwards generated in 2014 amounting €126k. At 31 December 2014 the Group had recognized a tax credit for this unused tax loss carryforward by an amount of €44k, under the caption “Deferred tax assets” of the consolidated balance sheet at that date.

 

At 31 December 2013, based on the tax returns filed by the Spanish consolidated companies and the consolidated Tax Group in previous years, and the Corporate income tax return the Group expects to file for 2013, the consolidated companies’ unused tax loss carryforwards were the following:

 

Year Generated  Thousands of

Cyndea Pharma, S.L. (proportional part attributable to Gadea Group):

2011   906 
2012   1,387 
2013   919 
    4,271 

 

At 31 December 2013, Gadea Group had not recorded any tax credit under “Deferred tax assets” in the consolidated balance sheet for said tax loss carryforwards. Although Cyndea Pharma, S.L. could reasonably expect to fully and legally offset the unused tax loss carryforwards at 31 December 2013, the Group decided not to recognize the tax credits generated thereon as its production activities were not yet on a firm footing.

 

Meanwhile, at 31 December 2013, Crystal Pharma, Ltd. had unused tax loss carryforwards for which a tax credit amounting to €129k was recognized.

 

 

 

 

Deductions

 

Current corporate income tax legislation provides for various tax incentives. Deductions generated in a year in excess of the applicable legal limit may be deducted from the corporate income tax payable in subsequent years, in line with the limits and deadlines established in the applicable tax legislation.

 

At year-end 2012, Group subsidiary Crystal Pharma, Ltd. had recognized a deferred tax asset in respect of unused tax losses in the amount of 222 thousand euros which it expects to recover within the term and in the manner provided in prevailing Maltese tax legislation plus a further 653 thousand euros in respect of unused tax credits and other temporary differences.

 

The Group took advantage of the tax benefits provided by this legislation, deducting €773k and €1,057k from the 2014 and 2013 Corporate income tax expenses, as follows:

Unused deductions corresponding to the Spanish consolidated subsidiaries

 

These deductions having been applied, at 31 December 2014 the Spanish consolidated companies had no further unused deductions.

 

Unused deductions corresponding to the Maltese consolidated subsidiary

 

At 31 December 2014 the Group had recognized under “Deferred tax assets” in the consolidated balance sheet at that date tax credits amounting to €547k (€524k at 31 December 2013) corresponding mainly to deductions pending of application at that date by the consolidated subsidiary Crystal Pharma, Ltd. The Parent's Sole Director considers that these deductions can reasonably expected to be used on the basis of recent estimates made by the Group's management about the future performance of the consolidated subsidiaries.

 

 

 

 

Years open to inspection

 

Under the current legislation, taxes cannot be considered as settled until the tax returns filed have been inspected by the Tax Authorities or the four year statute of limitations has elapsed.

 

In the first months of 2015 the tax authority had opened inspections in respect of the following taxes and fiscal years for the Group companies listed below:

 

Company   Tax   Period
         
Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L.U.   Value-Added Tax (VAT)   01/2011 to 12/2012
Crystal Pharma, S.A.U.   Value-Added Tax (VAT)   01/2011 to 12/2012
Crystal Pharma, S.A.U.   Value-Added Tax (VAT)   11/2014 & 12/2014
Crystal Pharma, S.A.U.   Import duties and Value-Added Tax (VAT) on Imports   2011 & 2014
Consolidated Tax Group 0075/09 headed by Grupo Gadea Farmacéutico, S.L. (Note 5-l)   Corporate income tax   2011 & 2012

 

At the date these consolidated annual financial statements were prepared, these inspections were still in progress.

 

At 31 December 2014, the consolidated companies had the years 2011 to 2014, inclusive, open to inspection for all applicable taxes and Corporate income tax for 2010. In addition, at 31 December 2014 the consolidated subsidiary Crystal Pharma, Ltd. had the years 2009 and 2010 open to inspection for VAT.

 

The Parent Company's Directors believe that the settlements of those taxes have been done properly, so, even if differences were to arise in the interpretation of the regulations governing the tax treatment of its operations, such liabilities as could arise as a result of the inspection in progress or of inspections of the aforementioned years would not have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

18.Guarantees provided to third parties and other contingent liabilities

 

At 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Group had provided guarantees to third parties, granted by various financial institutions, for an amount of €1,758k, €1,741k and €1,775k, respectively. These mainly related to guarantees to ensure compliance with utilities payment obligations, to guarantee repayment of certain subsidized loans and other obligations to Local Authorities, and various advances paid on grants. The Parent’s Sole Director believes that any liabilities which might arise from the guarantees provided and commitments and obligations contracted, and for which provision was not made at 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012, would not be material.

22.Nature and level of risk

 

Financial risks

 

The Group’s policies for managing risk are established by the Financial Risk Committee and have been approved by the Parent's Directors. Based on these policies, the Group’s Finance Department has established a number of procedures and controls which allow for the identification, measurement and management of the risks inherent in the use of financial instruments.

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk arises from the possible loss caused by breach of contractual obligations by the Group’s counterparties, i.e. the possibility of not recovering the financial assets for their carrying amount in the stipulated time frame.

 

To manage credit risk, the Group distinguishes between financial assets arising from operating activities and investing activities.

 

The sales and finance departments set limits for each client, which are calculated based on the information provided by a firm which specializes in analyzing companies’ solvency. In certain countries which are considered a greater risk due to political and geographical reasons, the Group uses more secure collection instruments such as letters of credit.

 

To manage the collection of overdue receivables, a regular report is prepared breaking them down by age and monthly reminders are issued on overdue accounts. Based on the Group’s past experiences and the sector in which it operates, the Parent’s Sole Director does not expect any material defaults to occur. The credit limits of late paying customers are reviewed on a monthly basis.

 

 

 

  

Credit risk associated with cash funds is limited as Group Gadea generally maintains its cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions with a high level of solvency.

 

At 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012, it was considered that it was not necessary to recognize any impairment loss in respect of these assets.

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group may not dispose of sufficient liquid funds, or have access to the amount required at an appropriate cost, in order to fulfil its payment obligations at all times. The Group aims to maintain available funds at a suitable level through policies that establish minimum cash requirements at all times. The Group’s finance department’s policy is to constantly review the maturity dates in the consolidated balance sheet so it can anticipate short- and medium-term cash requirements and implement a strategy to guarantee stable sources of funding. These procedures are always carried out in conjunction with the Group’s general financial policies.

 

At 31 December 2014 Grupo Gadea had sufficient cash and credit facilities available to ensure liquidity and be able to meet all the payment obligations arising from its activity. In addition, in March 2015 the Group had arranged a number of loans with Spanish financial institutions totalling €32,500k which will be used to repay loans outstanding at 31 December 2014, to fund investments in 2015 and to ensure the Group had sufficient liquidity for the dividend payout in March 2015 (Note 4).

 

The Group will also continue to generate liquidity in the course of its normal operations and therefore expects to be able to meet its liabilities as they mature with no difficulties.

 

Market risk (including interest rate, exchange rate and other price risks)

 

Market risk is the risk of the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument varying due to interest rates, exchange rates or other price risks.

 

Interest rate risk is the risk of losses due to changes in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument as a result of fluctuations in market interest rates. The Group’s main exposure to this type of risk corresponds to long-term loans and credit facilities granted to it with floating interest rates.

 

The Group manages interest rate risk by using on occasion floating to fixed interest rate swaps to hedge part of the loans taken out at variable rates. The Group’s floating rate financing is tied to the Euribor.

 

A sensitivity analysis on the Group’s financial debt at variable rates at 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012, taking into account the terms and conditions of the existing funding as at this date, showed that a 1% increase in the interest rate yield would not have a material on the 2015 and 2014 consolidated income statements, respectively.

 

 

 

  

The Parent’s Sole Director believes that there are no significant differences between the carrying amount and fair value of the financial assets and liabilities.

 

Exchange rate risk is the risk of losses due to changes in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates. The Group’s main exposure to this type of risk corresponds to sales and purchases carried out in currencies different to that used by the Group (Note 21). While it is not Group policy to use exchange rate hedging instruments, the Parent’s Sole Director believes that much of the Group’s exposure to this risk is hedged as the consolidated companies’ sales in US dollars are substantially offset by purchases in the same currency.

 

The Group’s assets and liabilities include receivable and payable balances, current accounts and certain financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies. The balances in foreign currencies representing the Group’s exposure to exchange rate risk at 31 December 2014, 2013 and 2012 are detailed in Note 21.

 

Other price risks correspond to Grupo Gadea’s exposure to fluctuations in the price of basic raw materials. Grupo Gadea continually monitors the price of these raw materials in order to make appropriate decisions at all times based on observed and expected market trends and the Group’s strategy, although, given their nature, these raw materials are subject to high rotations rates. Fluctuations in raw materials prices are passed on to the selling price of the end product so they do not significantly impact the Group’s consolidated income statement.

 

23.Environmental issues and greenhouse gas emissions rights

 

An environmental activity is any operation whose main purpose is to minimize environmental impacts and protect and improve the environment.

 

At 31 December 2013 and 2012, the Group’s most significant systems, equipment and facilities corresponding to environmental activities were entirely owned by the jointly-controlled entity Cyndea Pharma, S.L. The amounts disclosed here are, therefore, the portion (50%) attributable to the Group (Notes 1 and 2-e):

 

   Thousands of Euros 
   At 31/12/13   At 31/12/12 
Description  Cost   Accumulated
Depreciation
   Cost   Accumulated
Depreciation
 
                     
Treatment plants   249    106    249    81 

 

Expenses corresponding to protecting and improving the environment, which were taken directly to the 2014 consolidated income statement, amounted to €598k (€469k and €457k in 2013 and 2012, respectively) and mainly related to the treatment and storage of industrial waste from the production processes of the consolidated subsidiaries.

 

 

 

  

Grupo Gadea does not have any other environmental responsibilities, assets, provisions or contingencies that could significantly affect the Group’s equity, financial situation or profit. During 2014, 2013 and 2012, Grupo Gadea did not receive any environmental grants or obtain income from environmental related business.

 

Given the nature of the Group’s business, the consolidated subsidiaries have not been allocated any amount of greenhouse gas emissions rights under the National Allocation Plan. Therefore, at 31 December 2014, the Group had not recorded any balance or movement under “Greenhouse gas emissions rights” in the consolidated balance sheet or recognized any impairment thereto in 2014. Additionally, during 2014, the Group did not incur any expenses or recognize any provisions relating to this item. The Group has not signed any futures contracts relating to emissions rights, has not received any environmental grants or recognized any contingencies relating to greenhouse gas emissions.

 

24.Events after the reporting periods

 

In March 2014, the Group acquired a production plant in San Cristóbal de Entreviñas (Zamora), for the fermented products project. This transaction amounted to €1,600k. No other significant events occurred after the end of the 2013 reporting period and before the approval of the 2013 consolidated financial statements by the shareholders of the Parent.

 

In March 2015 the Group has arranged a number of loans with financial institutions totalling €32,500k which have been used to repay loans outstanding at 31 December 2014, to fund the Group's investments.

 

In March 2015 the Parent's shareholders effected a number of operations trading between them their shares in the Parent resulting in the redistribution of the percentage shareholdings disclosed in Note 12. Later, on 16 July 2015 all the share capital of the Parent were acquired by the company Exirisk Spain, S.L.U., whose registered offices are in Madrid (Spain) and whose owner is the AMRI Group, an international group.

 

No other significant events have taken place since the end of the 2014 reporting period that have not been disclosed in the remaining Notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In accordance with the aforementioned regulations, only information relating to the Group’s suppliers and companies located in Spain has been included.

 

 

 

  

27.Segmented information

 

Article 84 of Royal Decree 1159/2010, 24 September, which approved the standards for preparing consolidated financial statements, states that the notes to the consolidated financial statements must present the Group’s business by segment, disclosing which components comprise the Group’s operating segments, i.e., generating income and incurring costs, and being subject to regular inspection, discussion and evaluation by the entity’s highest decision-making body. In particular, any component that accounts for 10% or more of the turnover generated by all of the entity’s business segments, including both intragroup and external sales, or the business areas that accounts for 10% or more the of the entity’s total amount of assets must be disclosed.

 

Given the nature of the business carried out by the Group, the strategic business unit is the only segment recognized (this is not broken down by product line). This segment is managed as a single entity as, to date, it does not correspond to a specific market type or regulatory regime. No further breakdown by segment is therefore disclosed in these notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

The only client to which the Group's sold goods or provided services representing over 10% of the Group's consolidated turnover was Gentec, S.A. (11.3% in 2014 and 11.8% in 2013).

 

28.Differences and Reconciliation between Spanish GAAP and U.S. GAAP

 

Differences between Spanish GAAP and U.S. GAAP

 

The principal differences between Spanish GAAP and U.S. GAAP (United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) that affect the net income and majority stockholders’ equity of the Group relate to the accounting treatment of the following items:

 

·Under Spanish GAAP, grants are initially recognized and presented directly in equity and are generally recognised as income on a systematic and rational basis. Under U.S. GAAP, there is no specific guidance on accounting for government grants but they generally follow International Financial Reporting Standards for grant accounting. The classification on the balance sheet and recognition in the income statement depends on the nature and the terms of the grants, but government grants are never presented within equity but they are usually accounted as a liability instead of equity. In this case, government grants were awarded mainly to finance the acquisition of property, plant and equipment (principally, new production lines and technological improvements) and they are recognized under Spanish GAAP as income in accordance with amortization. Therefore, in order to make this accounting treatment compatible with US GAAP, government grants are reclassified as a liability.

 

·In the period 2013 and 2014, in order to reduce the interest rate risk arising as a result of the granted loans, Gadea Group, entered into an interest rate swap with those financial entities that are accounted for as hedge accounting under Spanish GAAP. Spanish GAAP requires for hedge accounting that a hedge effectiveness assessment is performed at the balance sheet date. As the company reports annually, the assessment is prepared once a year. Under U.S. GAAP, ASC 815-20-35-2 requires entities to assess effectiveness every time financial statements or earnings are reported, and at least every three months; irrespectively of whether the company prepares financial statements quarterly or not. Therefore, in order for such hedges to qualify for hedge accounting under U.S. GAAP, an assessment should be prepared quarterly. As such quarterly assessment was not prepared (there was not need under Spanish GAAP). The impact of not applying hedge accounting for 2013 and 2014 would be a decrease in reported net income.

 

 

 

  

·Capitalization of research and development expenses. Under Spanish GAAP, research expenditure may be capitalized if the same requirements as those established for the capitalization of development expenditure are met, and it is amortized over its useful life (maximum of five years). Development costs are capitalized if the related requirements are met and they are amortized over their useful life (presumed to be a maximum of five years if there is no evidence to the contrary). Under U.S. GAAP, expenses for research and development activities (except for certain computer software and website development costs, which is not the case of Gadea Group) are expensed as incurred. Following the U.S. GAAP guidance, capitalized development costs shall be expensed, therefore the amounts recorded within “Intangible Assets” caption under Spanish GAAP have been recognized into the heading ”Research and Development” of the statements of operations under U.S. GAAP. Additionally, the amounts related to the amortization and impairment under Spanish GAAP have also been regularized because such amortization and impairment would have been not accounted for under U.S. GAAP (there would have not been asset to amortize or impair). The tax effect of these adjustments originates also a deferred tax. These adjustments have been calculated on a cumulative basis for each period.

 

In 2014, Gadea Group sold its interest in Cyndea Pharma, S.L., which had capitalized some research and development expenses. As a consequence of adjusting these capitalized expenses under U.S. GAAP, the difference between the consideration received in this transaction and the value of assets and liabilities of Cyndea Pharma, S.L. (consolidated under proportionate method as it is explained below) increases and therefore the profit of this sale is higher.

 

·Statement of cash flows. In the case of Gadea Group´s consolidated financial statements, statement of cash flows prepared under Spanish GAAP is similar to cash flows standards for U.S. GAAP except for different presentation of subtotals. Other potential differences between both GAAPs are not applicable in the case of Gadea Group.

 

 

 

  

We also bring your attention to certain issues:

 

a)Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L. at December 31, 2013 maintained an investment of 50% in Cyndea Pharma, S.L. (the remaining participation was held by Infarco, S.A.). The entity was defined under Spanish GAAP as a “jointly controlled entity”, an accounted for the proportionate consolidation method. Under U.S. GAAP, Cyndea Pharma, S.L. would also be defined as a “jointly control entity” (i.e. a corporate joint venture) since no conditions exist that indicate substantive control of Cyndea Pharma, S.L. by any of the parties. Related to the accounting of such investment ASC 323-10-05-4 states that “equity method also best enables investors in corporate joint ventures to reflect the underlying nature of their investment in those ventures”. Therefore, investors should account for investments in common stock of corporate joint ventures by the equity method in consolidated financial statements. However, in U.S. GAAP proportionate consolidation is permitted for unincorporated joint ventures in specialized industries such as construction industry or extractive industry, but not for the pharmaceutical industry. Therefore, following the U.S. GAAP guidance, Cyndea Pharma S.L. should be accounted for under the equity method in the U.S. GAAP financial statements our sub which is consolidated under proportional method for purposes of Spanish GAAP. However, in the context of the information required by Rule 3-05 and Item 17 of Form 20-F, Gadea Group has the option of maintaining the use of the proportionate consolidation method, provided Gadea Group discloses the data of such investment consolidated within Gadea Group´s consolidated financial statements.

 

The 2013 balance sheet and the income statement of Cyndea Pharma, S.L. (presented on a pro-rata basis related to the interest of Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L. in Cyndea Pharma, S.L.) were as follows:

In 2014, Gadea Group sold its interest in Cyndea Pharma, S.L. Please note that, despite maintaining the use of the proportionate method of consolidation, the derecognition of research and development costs capitalized in the balance sheet of Cyndea Pharma, S.L., results in an increase in the difference between the consideration received in the sale and the value of assets and liabilities consolidated at the date of transaction under proportionate method. It should be noted that this effect in the income statement has to do with the difference between Spanish GAAP and US GAAP in relation to capitalization of research and development costs, and it is independent from the use of proportionate consolidation.

 

b)Collaborative arrangements. Gadea Group enters into different arrangements in which the Gadea Group carries out the research, development and pharmaceutical manufacturing services of a generic pharma product and the counterparty takes the responsibility of the promotion, sale and distribution. Such activities are carried out without setting up a new legal entity and the parties will share income and expenses. There is not specific literature under Spanish GAAP for this kind of agreements. As a result, the Company has accounted for the incurred expenses (until the moment, this kind of arrangements has not generated operating income as a consequence of sales) and the amount billed of these expenses to the other partner has been accounted for as “Other operating expenses”. Topic 808 under U.S. GAAP regulates collaborative arrangements. To be within the scope of ASC 808, a venturer must be (1) an active participant in the joint operations conducted primarily outside of a legal entity, and (2) exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on commercial success of the joint activity. Both criteria are met in the case of the collaborative arrangements in which Gadea Group enters as it directs and carries out several the activities of the joint operating activity, participates in a Steering Committee, shares income and expenses, etc. Participants in a collaborative arrangement shall report costs incurred and revenue generated from transactions with third parties (that is, parties that do not participate in the arrangement) in each entity's respective income statement. In accordance with ASC 808, an entity shall evaluate the income statement classification of payments between participants pursuant to a collaborative arrangement based on the nature of the arrangement, the nature of its business operations, the contractual terms of the arrangement, and whether those payments are within the scope of other authoritative accounting literature on income statement classification. Currently, the arrangements are in the phase of development and the only payments are those which the counterparty makes to the Group to compensate the research and development activities. Therefore, these payments should be accounted for as an offset to research and developments costs. Future payments in both directions shall be evaluated by the Group before deciding the classification in the income statement. However, this difference between Spanish GAAP and U.S. GAAP would result only in reclassifications in the statements of recognized income and expense (which besides, as it is pointed out below in this document, has a different structure) but not in the net income caption and therefore it has no effect in the reconciliation.

 

We also would like to highlight that, under Spanish GAAP, the income statement is presented by nature. U.S. GAAP requires expenses to be classified by their function for SEC registrants.

Grupo Gadea’s business plan for the future is based on significant forecast increases in net revenues, operating turnover and profit.

 

Ownership

 

Since 16 July 2015 all the share capital of the Parent is held by the company Exirisk Spain, S.L.U., whose registered offices are in Madrid (Spain) and whose owner is the AMRI Group, an international group (Notes 12 and 24). The parent of this group is Albany Molecular Research, Inc., a listed company whose common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Market and whose registered offices are in Corporate Circle, 26, Albany (New York - USA).

 

Subsidiaries

 

Subsidiaries are classified as those over which the Group has effective control, which is exercised generally, although not exclusively through either direct or indirect ownership of 50% or more of the voting rights of the investee companies, or if this percentage is lower or zero, where other circumstances or agreements exist that grant the Group this control. Control is “the ability to govern the financial and operating policies of a company so as to obtain profits from its activities”.

 

The subsidiaries that have been included in the interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2015 as “fully consolidated companies” are detailed below:

(b)Inactive since incorporation.

 

Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. was incorporated in Segovia on 1 February 1996. Later, in November of the same year, it moved its registered address to Parque Tecnológico de Boecillo (Valladolid), where it also has its production facilities. Currently, Crystal Pharma, S.A.U.’s main business is the investigation, development and subsequent manufacture and sale of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) for pharmaceutical products. In 2011, it merged with Ragactives, S.L.U., a company incorporated on 23 November 2006, whose main businesses were the investigation, development, and subsequent manufacture and sale of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) for pharmaceutical products.

 

On 14 December 2005, Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. acquired the entire share capital of Crystal Pharma, Ltd. (previously Solea Pharma, Ltd) for €23k. This investment was transferred to the Parent in 2009. This subsidiary’s registered address is in Zejtun (Malta) and its business consists of the manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) for the pharmaceutical industry, with a large part of its output sold to Group companies.

 

Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U. was incorporated on 14 June 2011, and its registered address is Parque Tecnológico de León. This subsidiary’s capital was increased in 2012 and 2015 and the Parent has also made additional contributions to its equity. On 8 June 2015 the Parent decided to increase the capital of Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U. by €50k (with a share premium of €150k) and to make an additional contribution to its equity of €2,000k, although at 30 June 2015 this additional contribution had not been paid in. Its main businesses are the investigation, development and subsequent manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products. The construction and implementation of its production plant was completed in late 2013.

 

Bioraw, S.L.U. and Bionice, S.L.U. were incorporated on 31 December 2013, and their corporate purpose consists of chemical biotechnical processes. Bioraw, S.L.U. commenced production of intermediate fermented products in late 2014 at its plant in San Cristóbal de Entreviñas (Zamora, Spain). Bionice, S.L.U. has not yet commenced trading. On 19 December 2014 the Parent made an additional contribution of €2,000k to the equity of Bioraw, S.L.U.

 

 

 

  

Jointly controlled entities

 

“Jointly controlled entities” are defined as companies which are jointly managed by the Parent and/or another of the Group’s companies and one or more third parties. In September 2014 the Group sold its investment in Cyndea Pharma, S.L., the only jointly controlled company it had in that year.

 

Cyndea Pharma, S.L. was, therefore, accounted for in the interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2014 using the proportionate method, based on the Parent’s 50% shareholding in the company. Information relating to the jointly controlled entity at 30 June 2014 is detailed below:

Cyndea Pharma, S.L.  Ólvega (Soria)   Pharmaceuticals    50.00    -    50.00   2,969

   

On 19 September 2014 the Parent sold this investment to another shareholder and it was therefore removed from the Group’s scope of consolidation in the second half of 2014 (Note 2-e).

 

Cyndea Pharma, S.L. (previously Gideon Pharma, S.L.U.) was incorporated in Madrid on 18 May 2005 and its registered address and production facilities are located at Polígono Industrial de Ólvega (Soria, Spain). It develops and manufactures specialised pharmaceutical products and provides analytical services through “contract manufacturing”.

 

Following the sale of its investment in Cyndea Pharma, S.L., at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 the Group had no investments in jointly controlled entities.

 

Associated Companies

 

“Associated companies” are defined as those where the Group has powers to exercise a significant influence, but not control or joint control. This is usually because it has a direct or indirect shareholding equal to or greater than 20% of the voting rights of the investee.

 

At 30 June 2015 and 2014, and at 31 December 2014, the Group had no associated companies.

 

 

 

  

2.Basis of presentation of the interim consolidated financial statements and principles of consolidation

 

a)Regulatory framework on financial disclosure applicable to the Group

 

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Parent’s Sole Director in accordance with the regulatory framework of financial reporting applicable to the Group (“Spanish Generally Accepted Principles” or “Spanish GAAP”), which is established in:

 

·The Commercial Code and other commercial law.

 

·Spanish standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements (approved by Royal Decree 1159/2010), Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007 and subsequent modifications) and, where appropriate, industry adaptations.

 

·The mandatory standards approved by the Institute of Accounting and Auditing implementing GAAP and related standards.

 

·Other applicable Spanish accounting standards.

 

The amounts included within the documents comprising the consolidated financial statements are, unless otherwise stated, all expressed in thousands of euros.

 

b)True and fair view

 

The interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2015 have been prepared from the individual accounting records of Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L. and of the consolidated companies (Note 1) and are presented in accordance with the applicable regulatory framework (“Spanish GAAP”) on financial reporting and, in particular, the accounting principles and criteria contained therein, so as to give a true and fair view of the Group’s net assets and financial situation at 30 June 2015 and the results of operations and of its cash flows during the six months then ended.

 

Grupo Gadea’s 2014 consolidated financial statements were approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 30 June 2015.

 

c)Application of non-mandatory accounting principles

 

No non-mandatory accounting principles have been applied. The Parent’s Sole Director has prepared the interim consolidated financial statements based on all the mandatory principles and standards that have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

 

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements include, using the various applicable consolidation methods, all of the companies belonging to the Group, defined as the universe of companies comprising a decision-making unit, in keeping with the contents of article 42 of the Spanish Code of Commerce; the consolidation methods used are described in Note 2-d below.

 

 

 

  

The interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2015 have been prepared on a “going concern” basis.

 

d)Principles of Consolidation

 

The interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2015 have been prepared using a “bottom-up procedure” meaning the Group’s interim consolidated financial statements have been obtained from each of the corresponding subgroups, starting with the smallest and moving to the largest until reaching Total Group level.

 

Subsidiaries

 

The “subsidiaries” over which the Group has effective control, as it holds a majority of the votes on their representative and decision-making bodies, have been fully consolidated and therefore the following applies:

 

1.All balances and transactions between the consolidated companies and material gains or losses on internal operations not carried out with third parties have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

2.Certain adjustments and reclassifications have been made to standardize the accounting principles and valuation criteria used by different companies.

 

3.When a subsidiary is acquired, its assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. Positive differences between the price of acquisition and the fair value of the net assets acquired are recorded as “Goodwill” while negative differences are expensed at the date of acquisition.

 

4.The share of profit or loss and net changes in subsidiaries’ equity attributable to non-controlling interests is calculated based on the voting rights existing at that time, excluding any potential exercisable or convertible rights. Non-controlling interests’ share of the investment is stated at their proportion of the fair values of the assets and liabilities recognized.

 

5.The equity and results of the subsidiary companies attributable to non-controlling interests are presented in consolidated net equity, under “Non-controlling interests”, in the consolidated balance sheet, and under “Profit and loss attributable to non-controlling interests” in the consolidated income statement.

 

6.The results generated by subsidiary companies acquired during the period are included in the consolidated income statement only from the date of acquisition to the year end. Similarly, the results of subsidiary companies disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated income statement only from the beginning of the year to the date of disposal.

 

 

 

  

7.Acquisitions of shares from non-controlling interests in subsidiaries that the Group previously had effective control and which, therefore, only lead to an increase in the Group’s percentage shareholding, are treated, for the purposes of consolidation, as operations with equity instruments. In accordance with Measurement and Recognition Standard No. 9, paragraph 4 of Spanish GAAP, the balance recorded under “Non-controlling interests” is therefore reduced and the consolidated reserves are restated for the difference between the value of the consideration paid by the Group and the amount by which the balance under “Non-controlling interests” has been changed. No “Goodwill” whatsoever is recorded for this operation, nor does it include assets or liabilities from the consolidated balance sheet.

 

As explained in Note 1, the interim consolidated financial statements of the subsidiaries used in the consolidation process refer to the same reporting date and cover the same period as those of the Parent.

 

The functional currency of the only foreign subsidiary is the euro, it is not therefore necessary to translate the items recorded in its balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity or statement of cash flows.

 

Jointly controlled entities

 

The jointly controlled entity Cyndea Pharma, S.L. was consolidated in the six months ended 30 June 2014 using the “proportionate method”, incorporating the assets, rights and obligations and the income and expenses of this company in proportion to the Group’s shareholding in it. The Group disposed of its investment in this company in September 2014. The consolidated income statement for the six months ended 30 June 2014 therefore includes the income and expenses of this company were and incurred in proportion to the Group’s investment in its share capital, taking into account only those earned and incurred from the start of that financial year to 30 June 2014, while these are not included in the consolidated income statement for the six months ended 30 June 2015.

 

e)Changes in the scope of consolidation

 

The jointly controlled company Cyndea Pharma, S.L. was removed from the scope of consolidation in 2014 following the sale to a third party of the Group’s shares in the capital of said company, representing 50% of its share capital.

 

The share sale transaction was recorded as a matter of public deed on 19 September 2014 and the sale price was €3,000k. The gain generated on this transaction was recorded in the Group’s consolidated income statement in the second half of 2014. On the removal of this company from the scope of consolidation in 2014 all its assets and liabilities were retired from the consolidated balance sheet, together with any adjustments for remeasurements, grants, donations and legacies received which had been recorded in the Group’s consolidated balance sheet.

There were no other changes in the Group’s scope of consolidation in the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 2014 or in the last half of 2014.

 

 

 

  

f)Responsibility for disclosure and critical aspects of the measurement and estimation of uncertainty

 

The information contained in the interim consolidated financial statements is the responsibility of the Parent’s Sole Director.

 

In preparing the interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2015, estimates made have been used on occasion to measure certain assets, liabilities, income, expenses and commitments that would not be easily determined by other sources. These estimates are based on historical information and other factors that are considered reasonable in accordance with current circumstances. These estimates refer to the following:

 

·The useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

 

·The assessment of possible impairment losses on certain assets. When measuring non-current assets other than financial assets, estimates must be made to determine their fair value to assess whether these assets should be impaired. To determine fair value, the Group’s directors estimate, as warranted, the expected cash flows from the assets or the cash-generating units to which the belong, applying an appropriated discount rate to calculate the present value of these cash flows (Note 6).

 

·The classification of leases as operating or financial.

 

·The fair value of certain financial instruments.

 

·The amount of the provisions. The Group has made judgments and estimates as to the likelihood that risks will materialize that could require that a provision be recognized, as well as the corresponding amounts. A provision is recognized only when the risk is considered probable, by estimating the cost that would be generated by the obligating event.

 

·The application of deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences pending reversal, unused tax credits and tax losses to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which these assets may be utilized. To determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, the Directors estimate the amounts and dates on which future taxable profits will be obtained and the reversion period of taxable temporary differences.

 

·Taxation. In accordance with prevailing tax legislation, tax returns cannot be considered final until they have been inspected by the tax authorities or until the four-year inspection period has elapsed. The Parent’s Sole Director believes that no significant additional tax liabilities would arise for the Group in the event of a tax inspection.

 

Although these estimates were made with the best information available at 30 June 2015, future events may make it necessary to review these estimates (upwards or downwards) in future periods. Any such changes would be applied prospectively in the consolidated income statements in the years affected.

 

 

 

  

g)Information for the purposes of comparison

 

For the purposes of comparison, the consolidated balance sheet at 30 June 2015 is presented alongside that for the financial year immediately preceding said period (31 December 2014), while each item in the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended 30 June 2015 is presented together with the corresponding figure for the six months ended 30 June 2014.

 

The information relating to the year ended 31 December 2014 and the six months ended 30 June 2014 included in these Explanatory Notes is presented for the purpose of comparison with that relating to the six months ended 30 June 2015.

 

h)Grouping of items

 

Certain items in the consolidated balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and statement of cash flows are grouped together to facilitate their understanding; however, whenever the amounts involved are significant, the information is broken down in the Explanatory Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements.

 

i)Changes in accounting criteria

 

In the six months ended 30 June 2015 no significant changes were made to the accounting criteria applied in 2014.

 

j)Correction of errors

 

No significant errors were identified in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2015 that would have led to a restatement of the amounts included in the 2014 consolidated financial statements.

 

3.Business Combinations

 

During the six months ended 30 June 2015 and during 2014, the Group did not carry out any business combinations.

 

4.Distribution of the Parents profit

 

The distribution of the Parent’s for the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2013, approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 30 June 2015 and 18 June 2014, respectively, as detailed below:

 

 

 

  

   Thousands of Euros 
   2014   2013 
         
Basis of distribution:          
Profit for the year   2,224    6,341 
           
Distribution:          
Legal Reserves   223    634 
Voluntary Reserves   1,001    1,357 
Dividends   1,000    4,350 
    2,224    6,341 

 

Interim dividend paid from 2015 and 2014 profits

 

The 2014 dividends were entirely distributed during 2014. On 18 June 2014 the Board of Directors agreed to the distribution of dividends of €1,000k from 2014 profit, which was recorded under “Interim dividends” in the consolidated balance sheet at 31 December 2014, and charged to “Capital and Reserves” (Note 12).

 

On 2 March 2015 the Parent agreed to the distribution of a dividend of €1,900k from voluntary reserves and of an interim dividend from 2015 profit of €21,200k.

 

The statutory provisional financial statements prepared by the Parent’s Board of Directors, in accordance with Article 277 of the Limited Liability Companies Law, disclosing that the Group has sufficient liquidity for the distribution of the aforementioned interim dividends against 2015 and 2014 profits were as follows:

 

Cash Statement for The Distribution  Thousands of Euros 
of the Interim Dividend  02/03/15   18/06/14 
         
Trade and other receivables   87    1,592 
Cash and cash equivalents   875    146 
Non-current investments in Group companies and associates and other current assets   28,721    5,122 
Total current assets   29,683    6,860 
           
Current debt   (309)   (1,598)
Debts with Group companies and associates   (1,123)   - 
Trade and other payables   (1,279)   (111)
Total current liabilities   (2,711)   (1,709)
Available cash   26,972    5,151 

 

 

 

  

The Parent’s Board of Directors ensured that it met the requirement that the amounts distributed in 2014 and 2015 may not exceed the profits generated to date, after deducting the estimated amount of the Income Tax payable on the profits for each year. In this sense, at 2 March 2015 the Parent had a high profit in its statutory accounts because in February 2015 it received dividends amounting to €24,500k from the consolidated subsidiary Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. (which distributed such dividends out of profit for 2014 and against reserves in previous years - Note 12).

 

5.Accounting principles and policies and measurement criteria

 

The main recognition and measurement criteria used by Grupo Gadea for the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2015 were the following:

 

a)Goodwill or negative differences arising on consolidation

 

At the date of acquiring a subsidiary, the assets and liabilities acquired (including any contingent liabilities) are generally recorded at fair value, provided said fair value can be measured reliably. The assets and liabilities recognized by the acquiring company are those that they have received and assumed as a result of the transaction. These assets and liabilities are recognized even if they had not been previously recorded in the financial statements of the acquired company because they did not meet the criteria for recognition in said financial statements.

 

Goodwill

 

At the date of acquisition, the positive difference between the cost of the Group’s shareholdings in the subsidiary’s capital and the fair value of assets and liabilities attributable to the acquired investment are recorded under “Intangible assets-Goodwill on consolidation” in the consolidated balance sheet.

 

Goodwill is only recorded when it has been acquired for consideration, is assigned to one or more cash generating items, and represents advanced payments made by the acquiring company for the future economic benefits deriving from the assets and liabilities of the acquired company that would not be recorded or identified individually.

 

Goodwill is not amortized. In accordance with Spanish GAAP approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007, of 16 November, the Group opted to value all assets and liabilities at the opening balance, in accordance with the existing principles prior to the introduction of Law 16/2007, of 4 July, reforming Commercial Law to harmonize with international law and European Union regulations, with the exception of financial instruments which are stated at fair value. Therefore, “Goodwill” acquired for consideration prior to 1 January 2008 (date of transition to new GAAP) was recorded net of amortization until 31 December 2007.

 

 

 

 

Impairment losses on intangible assets and property, plant and equipment

 

At the end of each reporting period, goodwill is reviewed for impairments that would reduce its recoverable amount to an amount below its carrying amount. In this case, impairment losses are recorded but they cannot be reversed in subsequent periods.

 

The “impairment test” of goodwill of intangible and property, plant and equipment (Notes 5-b and 5-c) carried out by the Group is the following:

 

·The recoverable amounts are calculated for each cash generating unit, although for property, plant and equipment, where possible, the impairment calculations are performed individually for each asset.

 

·The Parent’s Directors annually prepare a business plan by market and business for each cash generating unit, typically covering a period of five years. The main components of this plan are the following:

 

-Income and expenses forecasts.

 

-Investment and working capital forecasts.

 

·Other variables influencing the calculation of recoverable value are the following:

 

-The discount rate to be applied, being the weighted average of the cost of capital, which is affected by the cost of the liabilities and specific risks related to the assets.

 

-The growth rate applied to cash flows to extrapolate them beyond the period covered by budgets and forecasts.

 

The forecasts are made based on previous results and the best estimates available, in line with externally obtained information.

 

The Business Plans prepared have been reviewed and approved by Directors of the respective companies.

 

If there is an impairment loss from a cash generating unit to which all, or part, of an item of goodwill has been allocated, the carrying amount of goodwill relating to that unit is written down. However, if the impairment exceeds this amount, the remaining assets of this cash generating unit will be reduced in proportion to their carrying amounts, up to the higher of fair value less cost to sell, value in use, or zero.

 

 

 

  

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses (this is not permitted for goodwill), the carrying amount of the asset, or cash generating unit, is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount. However, this new carrying amount must not exceed the carrying amount that would have been recognized if no impairment loss had occurred in previous years. The reversal of an impairment loss is recorded as income.

 

At 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 there was no indication of impairment of the amount of the goodwill recognized by the Group.

 

Negative differences on consolidation

 

If, at the date of acquiring a subsidiary, there is a negative difference between the cost of the investment and the proportional part of the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed attributable to the acquired investment, the difference is recorded as income in the consolidated income statement for the period in which the transaction took place, under the caption “Negative difference on consolidation of subsidiaries”.

 

b)Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets are valued initially at their acquisition price or cost of production, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated amortization, and any impairment losses recorded, determined in accordance with the criteria detailed in Note 5-a.

 

In particular, the Group uses the following accounting criteria for intangible assets:

 

1.Goodwill on consolidation. Described in detail in Note 5-a.

 

2.Development costs. The costs incurred in developing each project are capitalized when the following conditions are met:

 

-The cost of developing the project can be measured reliably.
-The costs are itemized for each project and relate to an identifiable asset.
-The Group can demonstrate the technical viability of the project.
-The project is likely to generate profits in the future.

 

Development expenses incurred using the Group’s own resources are recorded (by type) in the consolidated income statement, while development expenses for projects which meet the above conditions are debited to “Development Expenses” in the consolidated balance sheet and credited to “Own work capitalized” in the consolidated income statement.

 

Capitalized development expenses are generally amortized on a straight line basis over their useful life, which is estimated at between 4 and 5 years. However, when there are reasonable doubts regarding the technical success or profitability of a project, these expenses will be recorded directly in the income statement, for the period in which the doubts occur.

 

 

 

  

The capitalized development costs at the end of the reporting period are itemized by project, and their cost and the period in which they were incurred can be clearly identified. The Group’s Sole Director believes in the technical success and the profitability of these projects.

 

Research expenses are directly expensed to the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.

 

3.Patents, licenses, trademarks, and similar. The amounts recorded under this heading correspond to patents and licenses and are recognized at the value at which they were contributed as part of a capital increase carried out by the company Ragactives, S.L.U. (absorbed in 2011 by Crystal Pharma, S.A.U.- See Note 1), at the amount at which they were recognized when the Group took the control of the entities that hold such patents and licenses or at the amount paid to third parties by the Group for the acquisition of ownership or rights to use the related items. They are amortized over a period of five years from the date they begin to generate profits from the manufacture and subsequent sale of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) protected by patents, and in proportion to the estimated profit, used to calculate the value of these assets.

 

4.Computer software relates to the costs incurred from the acquisition and development of computer programs. They are amortized on a straight line basis over a period of 4 to 5 years, from the date they are first used. Computer software maintenance costs are recorded in the consolidated income statement in the period in which they are incurred.

 

c)Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at their acquisition price, or cost of production. Property, plant and equipment acquired through business combinations are stated at their fair value at the date of acquisition. Assets from mergers are recorded at the value assigned on contribution to the Group, or at values attributed to the items in the Group’s consolidated financial statements, in the case of Group companies absorbed by the Parent.

 

The initial valuation is adjusted by the respective accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. When there is an indication of impairment, the Group performs “impairment tests” (Note 5-a) to estimate the possible loss of value that may reduce the recoverable value of these assets to less than their carrying amount. Impairment losses are disclosed in said Note under “Impairment of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment”. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less selling costs and the value in use.

 

When there are signs that the value of an impaired tangible asset has recovered, the Group reverses impairment losses recognized in previous years in the consolidated income statement, adjusting future depreciation charges accordingly. The increased carrying amount may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss previously been recognized for the asset.

 

 

 

  

Work carried out by the Group on its own property, plant and equipment includes the accumulated cost of external and internal costs, based on the consumption of materials and staff costs which are allocated using hourly rates calculated on the basis of the actual costs of these personnel. During the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 2014 there were no amounts of this nature recorded under property, plant and equipment.

 

For assets that take more than one year to get ready for use, the capitalized costs include any borrowing costs incurred before the asset is ready for use that have been billed by the supplier or that relate to loans or other external financing, specific or generic, directly attributable to the acquisition or manufacturing of assets. During the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 2014, the Group did not capitalize interest incurred in respect of assets.

 

Repair and maintenance expenses incurred during the period are expensed to the consolidated income statement. However, the cost of extensions, modernizations or improvements that increase the productivity, capacity or efficiency or prolong the useful life of an asset are capitalized as an increase in the cost of said asset.

 

Retirements of assets and other items, whether for reasons of modernization or for any other reason, are accounted for by derecognizing the balances shown in the corresponding cost and accumulated depreciation accounts together with any impairment losses recognized.

 

The Group transfers property, plant and equipment under construction to operating assets at the moment they become available, and depreciation is charged from this moment.

 

Property, plant and equipment used in operations are depreciated on a straight-line basis, based on the acquisition cost, cost of production, or if applicable, the restated value less their residual value. The land where the buildings and facilities are located has an indefinite useful life, and therefore is not subject to depreciation. Depreciation charges in the period on property, plant and equipment are recorded under “Amortization and depreciation” in the consolidated income statement over the estimated useful life of the assets as indicated below:

 

Asset Type   Estimated
Useful Life
(Years)
     
Buildings   33
Machinery and equipment   6.67 to 8.33
Tools   3.33
Furniture   10
Vehicles   8.33
Computer hardware   4

 

 

 

  

The estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment is regularly reviewed to identify any significant changes. If identified, the depreciation expense will be prospectively adjusted in the income statement using the new useful life of these assets.

 

d)Leases

 

Leases are classified as “financial leases” when the risks and benefits from ownership of the assets are substantially transferred to the lessee. Other leases are classified as “operating leases”.

 

Financial leases

 

During the six months ended 30 June 2015 and during 2014 the Group had not signed, as a lessor or lessee, any contract that could be classified as a financial lease.

 

The assets recorded for these types of operations are depreciated using similar criteria as those applied to property, plant and equipment as a whole, in accordance with the nature of the asset.

 

Operating leases

 

Under operating leases, the ownership of rented assets and all associated risks and benefits are held by the lessor.

 

The Group can act as lessor or lessee, and the corresponding income and expenses from the lease are expensed to the income statement in the period in which they are accrued.

 

Any amount received or paid when entering into an operating lease agreement is treated as deferred income or expense and is released to the income statement over the lease term as the benefits of the leased asset are transferred or received.

 

e)Financial instruments

 

A “financial instrument” is a contract representing a financial asset in one company, and a financial liability or equity instrument in another.

 

An “equity instrument” is any contract that cedes a residual interest in the assets of the issuing entity after deducting all of its liabilities.

 

A “financial derivative” is a financial instrument whose value changes in response to changes in an observable market variable (interest rate, exchange rate, price of a financial instrument or market index), where the initial investment is very low compared to other financial instruments with similar responses to changes in market conditions and which is, as a general rule, settled on a future date.

 

 

 

  

Financial Assets

 

The financial assets that the Group owns are classified in the following categories:

 

1.Loans and receivables: financial assets arising from the sale of goods or rendering of services as part of the company’s trading activities, or arising from non-trading activities but which are not equity instruments or derivatives and which are of a fixed or determinable amount and are not negotiable on an active market.

 

These financial assets are initially recorded at the fair value of the consideration given, plus any additional directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequently, they are valued at amortized cost, calculated using the “effective interest rate method”. This is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the financial instrument. For fixed-rate financial instruments, the effective interest rate coincides with the interest rate established at the moment of acquisition, and is adjusted, where applicable, for commissions and other transaction costs which must be included in the calculation of this effective interest. For financial instruments with a variable interest rate, the effective interest rate is estimated similarly to the fixed interest rate, and is recalculated at each interest rate review date, taking into account changes in the future cash flows of the financial instruments.

 

At least at each reporting date, the Group carries out an “impairment test” on these financial assets. Objective evidence of impairment is considered to exist if the recoverable value of the financial asset is lower than its carrying amount. When this occurs, the impairment loss is expensed to the consolidated income statement.

 

With respect to trade and other receivables, at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 the subsidiary Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. had a credit guarantee policy covering part of its individual customer balances within approved risk limits. For those balances not covered by this policy, valuation adjustments are made based on an individual analysis of each customer and receivable, recognizing any necessary impairment loss where a risk of non-payment has been identified.

 

2.Financial assets available for sale: these include debt securities and equity instruments of other companies that have not been classified in another category. They are recorded at their fair value under “Equity” until disposed of or it is determined that they have become (permanently) impaired, at which time the cumulative gains and losses previously recognized in equity are taken to the consolidated income statement. Investments in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably calculated are valued at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

 

3.Other financial assets mainly comprise of deposits paid and cash term deposits that are recorded in the balance sheet at their nominal value, given that the effect of not discounting the future cash flows is not material.

 

 

 

  

The Group writes-off financial assets when they expire, or when the rights to the asset’s cash flows are ceded and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.

 

Financial liabilities

 

Financial liabilities are borrowings and other payables that have arisen from the purchase of goods or services in the normal course of the Group’s business and those which, not having commercial origin, cannot be classed as derivative financial instruments.

 

Debts and payables are initially measured at the fair value of the consideration received, adjusted for any directly attributable transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is calculated using the “effective interest rate” method.

 

The Group writes-off financial liabilities when the obligations they generated no longer exist.

 

Interest income and dividends generated by financial assets

 

Interest and dividends from financial assets accrued subsequent to acquisition are recognized as income in the consolidated income statement. Interest is recognized using the effective interest rate method; dividends are recognized when the right to receive them is established.

 

To this end, financial assets are recognized separately upon initial measurement based on maturity, accrued explicit interest receivable at that date, and the dividends approved by the competent governing body up to the date the assets are acquired. Explicit interest refers to the contractual interest rate applied to the financial instrument.

 

Equity instruments

 

Equity instruments issued by the Parent are recorded under “Net equity” in the consolidated balance sheet for the consideration received, net of issuing costs.

 

Derivative instruments

 

The Group uses financial derivatives, principally “Interest Rate Swaps” (IRS), to reduce its exposure to interest rates. When these transactions meet certain requirements, they are considered to be “hedging instruments”.

 

In order for a transaction to qualify for “hedge accounting”, it must be formally designated as a hedge at the inception of the transaction or of the instruments included in the hedge, and the hedging relationship must be documented properly. Documentation of the hedging relationship includes adequate identification of the hedged item(s) and the hedging instrument(s), the nature of the risk to be hedged and the criteria or methods used to assess the effectiveness of the hedge over its entire life.

 

 

 

  

Consequently, for accounting purposes, only hedges that are considered to be highly effective over their entire life are considered to qualify for “hedge accounting”. A hedge is considered to be highly effective if, during its expected life, the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item(s) that are attributable to the hedged risk are offset substantially in full by changes in the fair value or cash flows, as the case may be, of the hedging instrument(s).

 

To measure the effectiveness of hedges designated as such, it is analyzed whether, from inception to the end of the term defined for the hedge, it can be expected, prospectively, that the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item that are attributable to the hedged risk will be offset substantially in full by changes in the fair value or cash flows, as the case may be, of the hedging instrument(s) and, retrospectively, that the results of the hedge are within a range of 80% to 125% of the results of the hedged item.

 

Hedges are classified in the following categories:

 

·Fair value hedges: hedge the exposure to changes in fair value of financial assets or liabilities or unrecognized firm commitments, or an identified portion of such assets, liabilities or firm commitments, that is attributable to a particular risk and could affect consolidated profit or loss. At 30 June 2015 and at 31 December 2014 the Group had not arranged any derivative financial instrument of fair value hedges.

 

·Cash flow hedges: hedge the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a financial asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction and could affect consolidated profit or loss.

 

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, when the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting or when the designation as a hedge is revoked.

 

When, as explained in the foregoing paragraph, hedge accounting is discontinued for a fair value hedge, in the case of hedged items carried at amortized cost, the valuation adjustments made as a result of the hedge accounting described above are amortized to consolidated profit or loss through the maturity of the hedged items, using the effective interest rate recalculated at the date of discontinuation of hedge accounting.

 

Also, if hedge accounting is discontinued for a cash flow hedge, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in consolidated equity remains in equity until the forecast hedged transaction occurs, when it will be reclassified to consolidated profit or loss or will adjust the acquisition cost of the asset or liability to be recognized, if the hedged item is a forecast transaction which results in the recognition of a financial asset or a financial liability.

 

At 30 June 2015 the only financial derivative contracted by the Group did not meet the above requirements to be classified as a “cash flow hedge”.

 

 

 

  

At 31 December 2014 the Group had no derivative financial instruments as the only instrument of this type that the Group had contracted with a financial institution matured in June 2014. At 31 December 2013, the mentioned financial derivative that the Group had contracted met the requirements to be classified as a “hedging instrument”. Changes in the fair value of this instrument were, therefore, recognized in net equity in the consolidated balance sheet at that date under “Adjustments for changes in value” (Notes 13 and 16).

 

f)Inventory

 

The Group uses the following criteria to value its inventory:

 

·Raw materials, other supplies and commodities are valued at the lower of their average weighted acquisition cost or their net realizable value. Trade and other discounts and the interest incorporated in the face value of payables are deducted from the acquisition cost.

 

·Finished and semi-finished goods and work in progress are valued at the lower of the average price of production, which is subject to regular review, or net realizable value.

 

The net realizable value corresponds to the sale price, less estimated costs to complete the products, and the costs incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

 

Obsolete, damaged or slow moving products are written down to their realizable value. When the net realizable value is lower than the acquisition or production cost, a valuation adjustment is recorded as an expense in the consolidated income statement for that period.

 

g)Grants, donations and legacies received

 

The Group accounts for grants, donations and legacies received as follows:

 

·Non-refundable grants, donations or legacies are recorded under “income recognized directly in net equity” (as soon as the conditions under which they will be granted are met and there are no reasonable doubts that they will be collected). They are measured at the fair value of the amount or non-monetary asset received, and expensed over the life of the subsidized assets or when they are disposed of or an impairment loss is recognized, with the exception of grants received from the Parent’s shareholders which are recorded directly in “Capital and reserves” and do not give rise to the recognition of income of any kind.

 

·Refundable grants are recognized as liabilities while they remain repayable.

 

·Operating subsidies are taken to income the moment they are granted, unless they are used to finance future operating losses, in which case they will be taken to income in the corresponding financial period. If they are granted to finance specific expenses, they are expensed when the financed costs are incurred.

 

 

 

  

h)Provisions and contingencies

 

In preparing the interim consolidated financial statements, the Parent’s Sole Director distinguishes between the following:

 

a)Provisions: credit balances covering current obligations arising as a result of past events, the settlement of which will probably result in a future outflow of funds but whose amount and/or timing are uncertain.

 

b)Contingent liabilities: possible obligations arising as a result of past events, whose materialization is dependent on the occurrence, or otherwise, of one or more future events falling outside the Group’s control.

 

Provisions are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet wherever it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated balance sheet, but rather are disclosed in the Explanatory Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements, unless the possibility of an outflow in settlement is considered to be remote.

 

Provisions are measured at the present value of the best possible estimate of the amount required to settle or transfer the obligation, taking into account the information available on the event and its consequences. Where discounting is used, adjustments made to provisions are recognized as financial expense on an accrual basis.

 

The compensation receivable from a third party on settlement of the obligation is recorded as an asset, provided that there are no doubts that the reimbursement will take place, unless there is a legal relationship whereby a portion of the risk has been externalized as a result of which the Company is not liable. In this situation, the compensation will be taken into account for the purpose of estimating the amount of the related provision that should be recorded.

 

Lawsuits and/or claims in progress

 

At 30 June 2015 there were no lawsuits or legal claims in progress against the consolidated subsidiaries that could have a material effect on the interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2015.

 

 

 

  

i)Commitments to personnel

 

Multi-year remuneration plan

 

In 2013 Parent’s Directors approved a multi-year remuneration plan for certain Grupo Gadea employees. The plan consisted of payments of determined amounts during 2014, 2015 and 2016, accruing between 2013 and 2015, provided that the employees remain in the Group, and certain strategic objectives are met. The total amount for all the Group’s companies amounted to €360k. The amount accrued by the Group as at 30 June 2015 for this item amounted to €60k, recorded under “Trade and other payables-Other payables” in the consolidated balance sheet at that date (€120k at 31 December 2014).

 

j)Severance payments

 

Under current employment legislation, the Group companies are obliged to pay termination benefits to employees whose contract is terminated under certain conditions. Termination benefits that can be reasonably quantified are recognized as an expense in the period in which the decision to terminate the employment relationship is taken and there is a valid expectation on the part of the affected third party that the dismissal will take place. No provision of this nature was recorded in the interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2015, as this situation is not expected to arise.

 

k)Income tax

 

The income tax cost or income comprises both current income tax and deferred tax items.

 

Current income tax is the amount payable by the Group to settle income tax for a given year. Tax credits and other tax benefits, excluding tax withholdings, interim payments on account and tax loss carryforwards applied in the year reduce the current income tax liability.

 

The deferred tax expense or income relates to the recognition or derecognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities. These include timing differences measured at the amount expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities and their tax bases, as well as tax losses pending carryforward and tax credits not applied. These amounts are recorded applying to the timing difference or credit in question the tax rate at which they are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable timing differences, except for those arising from the initial recognition of goodwill and other assets and liabilities in operations that affect neither tax income nor accounting income and which are not a business combination.

 

 

 

  

However, deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that the Company believes it is likely to have sufficient taxable profits in the future against which they can be used.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities from transactions charged or credited directly to equity are also recognized in a balancing entry under equity.

 

At the end of each reporting period, the deferred tax assets recorded are reviewed and appropriate adjustments are made where there are doubts as to their future recoverability. At the end of each reporting period the deferred tax assets that have not been recorded in the consolidated balance sheet are also reviewed and recognized if their recovery against future taxable profits is likely.

 

Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L. and its Spanish consolidated subsidiaries (Crystal Pharma, S.A.U., Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U, Bioraw, S.L.U. and Bionice, S.L.U.) file consolidated corporate income tax returns as part of Tax Group 0075/09, whose Parent is Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L. (Notes 1 and 17).

 

The Institute of Accounting and Auditing and the Group’s policies establish that for each company in the consolidated tax Group, the income tax or expense for the period is determined based on the profit before taxes plus or minus any permanent differences from the taxable profit, which is understood as the tax base, less deductions and credits corresponding to each company of the tax Group in the consolidated tax regime.

 

l)Revenues and expenses

 

Revenues and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis, i.e. when the actual flow of the related goods and services occurs, regardless of when the resulting monetary or financial flow occurs. Revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, net of discounts and taxes.

 

Revenues are recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods sold have been transferred to the buyer, the asset is no longer part of the operating assets of the company and effective control is not retained.

 

Revenue from services provided are proportionally recognized in the income statement using the percentage of completion method, provided the outcome of the transaction can be reliably estimated.

 

 

 

  

Revenues from the sale and transfer of pharmaceutical “dossiers” are recognized when the consideration received is non-refundable, it relates to the compensation of costs incurred before the sale or transfer, the Group has assumed no obligations under conditions other than those prevailing in the market, and the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred. Otherwise, the receipt is recognized as deferred income until the commitments established fall due, for the remaining life of the product, or for a specific period established in the agreements.

 

Interest income from financial assets is recognized using the “effective interest rate” method. All interest accrued on financial assets after the acquisition date is recognized as income in the consolidated income statement.

 

m)Classification of assets and liabilities as current

 

Assets and liabilities are classified as either current or non-current in the consolidated balance sheet. Current assets and liabilities are those that the Group expects to sell, use, or pay in the ordinary course of business, within twelve months. All other assets and liabilities are classified as non-current, except those that are expected to be recovered, used, or settled within 12 months of the end of the reporting period. When the Group does not have an unconditional right by the year end to defer settlement of a liability for at least twelve months as from the end of the reporting period, the liability is recorded as current.

 

n)Transactions in foreign currency

 

Assets and liabilities whose price is stated in foreign currency are converted to the national currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction, or at the date when the assets were included in the Group’s equity.

 

Accounting entries in currencies other than the euro are translated at the end of the reporting period using the exchange rate prevailing at that date. The resulting gains or losses are directly expensed to the consolidated income statement for the corresponding period.

 

o)Transactions with related parties

 

The Group carries out transactions with related parties on an arm’s length basis. Transfer prices are adequately documented, and therefore the Parent’s Sole Director believes that there are no associated risks that could give rise to material liabilities in the future.

 

p)Environmental issues

 

Environmental assets and liabilities

 

Environmental assets are deemed to be assets used on a lasting basis in the Group’s operations whose main purpose is to minimize the Group’s environmental impact, and protect and improve the environment, including the reduction or elimination of future pollution. These assets are recorded under “Property, plant and equipment” in the consolidated balance sheet.

 

 

 

  

These assets are recorded under “Property, plant and equipment” in the consolidated balance sheet. Such assets are measured in accordance with the criteria disclosed in Note 5-c.

 

Environmental expenses

 

Expenses incurred to offset the environmental effects of the Group’s operations or corresponding to existing environmental commitments are recorded as environmental expenses. This includes expenses incurred to prevent pollution by existing operations, in waste treatment, decontamination, and environmental management and audit.

 

Said environmental expenses are treated as operating expenses in the period in which they are accrued and are recorded as such in the consolidated income statement.

 

q)Discontinued operations

 

A discontinued operation is a line of business that has been terminated or disposed of, and whose assets, liabilities and profits can be distinguished physically, operationally or for financial accounting purposes. Revenues and expenses from discontinued operations are presented separately in the consolidated income statement.

 

No line of business or business segment was discontinued in during the six months ended 30 June 2015 and during 2014.

 

r)Cash flow statements

 

The following terms are used in the cash flow statement with the meanings specified:

 

·Cash flows: cash inflows or outflows, understood as short-term, highly liquid investments, subject to low risk of changes in value.

 

·Operating activities: the Group’s principal revenue-producing and other activities that cannot be classified as investing or financing activities.

 

·Investment activities: the acquisition, sale or disposal by other means of long term assets and other investments not classified as cash and cash equivalents.

 

·Financing activities: activities that result in changes in the size and composition of equity and financial liabilities.

 

·Cash and cash equivalents: includes cash, current accounts with banks and deposits and reverse repurchase agreements which meet the following requirements:

 

They are convertible to cash.
They mature within three months of the acquisition date.
There is no significant risk of change in value.
They form part of the Company’s normal treasury management policies.

 

 

 

  

s)Consolidated statement of changes in equity

 

The movements in consolidated net equity in the period are disclosed in the statement of changes in equity, comprising the statement of recognized income and expense and the statement of total changes in net equity:

 

Statement of recognized income and expenses

 

Income and expenses generated by the Group in the normal course of business during the period are recorded in this part of the consolidated statement of changes in equity, distinguishing between items recognized as income in the consolidated income statement of the period, and other income and expenses recorded directly in consolidated net equity, in accordance with the regulatory framework.

 

The statement of recognized income and expenses statement includes the following:

 

a)The profit or loss for the period.

 

b)Net income and expenses taken directly to consolidated net equity (revenues net of expenses incurred in the period that were taken directly to equity even though in the same period they will be transferred to the consolidated income statement or to the initial value of other assets or liabilities, or will be reclassified under another heading).

 

c)Transfers to the consolidated income statement from consolidated net equity (remeasurement gains and losses and capital grants previously recorded in consolidated net equity, albeit in the same period).

 

d)Total recognized income and expenses, calculated as the sum of the above.

 

The amounts of these items are recorded at their gross amount, showing their corresponding tax effect under the heading “Tax effect”.

 

Statement of changes in consolidated net equity

 

This statement discloses all changes to net equity including those that originate from changes in accounting criteria and from the correction of errors. It therefore reconciles the opening and closing carrying amounts of the items forming net equity, grouping the movements as follows:

 

a)Adjustments due to changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors: changes in net equity as a result of the restatement of the balances in the financial statements due to changes in accounting policies or the correction of errors.

 

b)Recognized income and expenses in the period: includes the aggregated total of all items recorded in the aforementioned consolidated income statement.

 

 

 

   

Other changes in net equity: the remaining items recorded in consolidated net equity, such as increases or decreases in the Parent’s capital, the distribution of income, operations with own equity instruments, payments with equity instruments, transfers between consolidated net equity items, and any other increase or decrease in consolidated net equity.

 

6.Intangible assets

Goodwill on consolidation

 

The breakdown of this caption of the balance sheet at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 was the following:

 

Company  Thousands
of Euros
 
     
Crystal Pharma, S.A.U.   2,046 
Crystal Pharma, Ltd.   134 
    2,180 

 

On 24 April 2007 the Parent acquired shares representing 100% of the share capital of Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. and Ragactives, S.L.U., by means of a non-monetary contribution. The latter company was acquired in 2011 by Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. (Note 1). To calculate the goodwill on consolidation from this acquisition, the Group previously assigned a portion of the positive goodwill to patents and the ownership of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) (based on the current value of the gross margin of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) being redeveloped), to its inventories of finished products and work in progress at that date (based on a margin applied to said inventories at the date of acquisition), and to a tax credit for R&D deductions pending application by the acquired companies at the end of the 2006 reporting period.

 

On 14 December 2005 Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. acquired shares representing 100% of the share capital of Crystal Pharma, Ltd., with registered address in Malta, and previously registered as Solea Pharma, Ltd. (Note 1). To calculate the goodwill on consolidation, the Group previously assigned a portion of the positive goodwill inherent in the property, plant and equipment of this company, based on an expert valuation made at the time of acquisition.

 

Additions and disposals in the six months ended 30 June 2015 and in 2014

 

In 2014 goodwill recorded in respect of Cyndea Pharma, S.L. (€229k) was retired following the Parent’s sale of its investment in said jointly controlled entity and its subsequent removal from the scope of consolidation (Note 2-e).

 

During the six months ended 30 June 2015 and during 2014 there were no other changes in “Goodwill on consolidation”, nor was any part of its value reassigned to the Group’s other assets. No impairment loss was identified in respect of goodwill during the six months ended 30 June 2015.

 

Impairment tests

 

The Group used the “Discounted cash flow” method to determine the recoverable amount of both the goodwill recorded at 30 June 2015, and the remaining intangible and property, plant and equipment associated with the cash generating units. The main assumptions used were the following:

 

·The Business Plan, approved by the Board of Directors of Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L.U., which is used as a starting point for the Group’s budget for the next period, was used to prepare the Group’s financial projections for the following years and the cash generating units under review.

 

 

 

  

Apart from the forecast results, investment forecasts (constant from 2015) and forecasts of changes in non-financial working capital (that would increase annually) were also prepared.

 

·The management annually prepares a business plan for each cash generating unit, covering a period typically of 5 years. The main components of this plan are the following:

 

-Profit projections.
-Investment and non-cash working capital projections.

 

·These projections cover a period of 5 years.

 

·The most significant assumptions used for 2015 onwards, which the Parent’s Sole Director consider prudent based on past experience of the Group’s business, are the following:

 

   Discount
Rate
(WACC)
   Annual
Growth in
Sales
   Gross
Margin
Growth
  Residual
Growth
Rate (b)
 
                
Crystal Pharma, S.A.U.   10%   5%  Constant   0%
Crystal Pharma, Ltd.   10%   5%  Constant   0%
Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U. (a)   10%   5%  Constant   0%

 

a)This consolidated subsidiary began trading in 2013 and is expected to reach full production capacity in later years.

 

(b)The growth rate is zero for normalized cash flows from year 5 on, in accordance with International Accounting Standards.

 

Based on the latest financial projections prepared for the future years, the Parent’s Sole Director considers that the forecast profit and cash flows regarding each consolidated subsidiary strongly support the value of the goodwill and remaining intangible assets (except certain development expenses) and property, plant and equipment. They also believe that no impairments are required. They have also carried out a sensitivity analysis of the goodwill for the impairment tests, which conclude that reasonable changes in the main assumptions will not require impairment losses to be recorded.

 

Development

 

Development expenses at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 mainly relate to expenses incurred by the Group on various projects to develop new products, some of which had been partially funded by the Agency of Financing, Innovation and Business Internationalization of Castilla y Leon (ADE) or the Ministry of Economy and Finance, and/or loans granted by different public bodies.

 

 

 

  

There were no additions in the six months ended 30 June 2015 or in 2014. Retirements in 2014 relate to development expenses corresponding to the jointly controlled entity Cyndea Pharma, S.L. following its removal from the scope of consolidation (Note 2-e).

 

At the end of the 2014 reporting period, reasonable doubts regarding certain development projects were identified (given that in the current market conditions, they were not profitable, and/or it had been decided to postpone production until the economic situation improved and the product was more likely to be successful), and considered that their recoverable value was lower than their carrying amount. Therefore, an impairment loss of €231k was recorded. Following an assessment by the Company’s Sole Director, it was not considered necessary to recognize any additional impairment to capitalized development costs at 30 June 2015.

 

Patents, licenses and trademarks

 

At 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014, the balance under this heading mainly corresponded to the valuation of the rights of Crystal Pharma, S.A.U.’s main products, following incorporation in the Group, and the cost of rights over a pharmaceutical ingredient acquired in 2010 by the then related company, Gentec, S.A. for €2,000k. At 30 June 2015 these assets were fully amortized.

 

Fully amortized items

 

The intangible assets cost amortized in the six months periods ended 30 June 2015 and 2014 totaled €236k and €332k, respectively.

 

Certain assets belonging to the Group (mostly patents, trademarks, and development expenses) still in use at year-end were fully amortized at 30 June 2015, with a recorded cost of €19,700k (€17,700k at 31 December 2014).

 

7.Property, plant and equipment

Land and buildings

 

Land and buildings at 30 June 2015 mainly relate to the production plants that the Group owns in Parque Tecnológico de Boecillo (Valladolid), in Parque Tecnológico de León and in San Cristóbal de Entreviñas (Zamora), the latter having been acquired in 2014. At 31 December 2013 this also included the proportional part of the production plant in Polígono Industrial Emiliano Revilla de Ólvega (Soria) owned by the jointly controlled entity Cyndea Pharma, S.L. (the Group disposed of its investment in this company during 2014).

 

At 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014, the net value of the land included in “Land and buildings” amounted to €1,991k.

 

Additions in the six months ended 30 June 2015 and in 2014

Retirements in the six months ended 30 June 2015 and in 2014

 

Retirements in 2014 relate to development expenses corresponding to the proportional part of the production plant in Polígono Industrial Emiliano Revilla de Ólvega (Soria) owned by the jointly controlled entity Cyndea Pharma, S.L., following the sale of the Group’s investment in this company and its subsequent removal from the scope of consolidation (Note 2-e).

 

No material disposals were recorded in the six months ended 30 June 2015.

 

PP&E in progress and advances and Investment commitments

 

At 30 June 2015 the balance of this heading in the consolidated balance sheet corresponded mainly to:

·Investments to increase the production capacity of the plant belonging to Crystal Pharma, Ltd. in Malta.

 

·Investments in several reactors, in a rotary glazing drier, a generator of vaporized hydrogen peroxide and in other spinning machinery.

 

The Parent’s Sole Director considers that the completion and entry into operation of these investment projects will occur in most cases over the next 12 months.

 

At 30 June 2015 the Group had firm commitments to acquire property, plant and equipment amounting to €2,900k, approximately.

 

Mortgage loans and other charges

 

The land and buildings of the production plant at Parque Tecnológico de León were mortgaged as a guarantee for the payment of a loan granted to the Parent whose outstanding principal to be repaid at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 amounted to €2,530k and €2,717k, respectively (Note 16).

 

 

 

 

Subsidies granted

 

The acquisition of some of the Group’s property, plant and equipment has been partially financed through investment grants received from public bodies (Note 14).

 

Capitalized financial expenses

 

The Group did not capitalize financial expenses as an increase in the carrying amount of “Property, plant and equipment” in the six months ended 30 June 2015 or 2014.

 

Operating leases

 

In its capacity as lessee, Grupo Gadea’s most significant operating leases at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 relate to transport, furniture and machinery. The total lease expense during the six months ended 30 June 2015 amounted to €55k (€53k in the six months ended 30 June 2014) and was recorded under Other operating expenses-Exterior services” in the consolidated income statement (Note 19). These lease payments relate to the contractually agreed minimum payments. There are no contingent payments.

 

At 30 June 2015, and in accordance with the Group’s lease agreements, the minimum payment commitments that the Group had to lessors were not significant.

 

Assets located abroad

 

The Group’s property, plant and equipment located outside of Spain at 30 June 2015 were those owned by Crystal Pharma, Ltd., whose carrying amount at this date amounted to €1,046k (€1,089k at 31 December 2014).

8.Financial investments

 

The breakdown of “Non-current financial investments” and “Current financial investments” in the consolidated balance sheets at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 is as follows:

 

   Thousands of Euros 
Item  30/06/15   31/12/14 
         
Non-current financial investments-

Non-current financial investments-Equity instruments

 

At 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014, the balances under this caption related to non-controlling interests in other companies, such as Iberaval, S.G.R. (mutual guarantee company based in Castilla y León). These investments were recorded at their acquisition cost.

 

Other current financial assets

 

The amount recorded under this heading in the balance sheet at 31 December 2014 corresponds mainly to a €1m term deposit with a financial institution which accrues interest at market rates. Although this deposit matures in 2016, the contract allows the Group to close the account without penalty on certain dates prior to the final maturity date. As the deposit is, therefore, in practice available in the short term, the Parent’s Directors decided to record it under “Current assets” in the consolidated balance sheet at 31 December 2014.

 

In March 2015 said deposit was closed by the Group.

 

 

 

 

9.Inventories

 

At 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014, the Group’s inventories comprised the following:

At 30 June 2015, the Group also had firm sales commitments for finished products amounting to €11,496k and $15,180k (approximately €13,572k) with delivery also scheduled for the second half of 2015 (€14,224k and $10,439k at 31 December 2014, delivered during the first months of 2015).

 

Insurance policy

 

The Group has insurance policies to cover the possible risks relating to inventories. The Parent’s Sole Director considers that the cover provided by these policies is adequate.

 

10.Sales and services provided to clients

 

Trade receivables at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 were as follows:

 

   Thousands of Euros 
Item  30/06/15   31/12/14

Trade receivables, related parties (Note 20)   -    2,295 
    20,001    18,901 

 

The Group has credit guarantee policies to ensure the collection of a significant part of the individual customer balances, within the risk limits previously approved. At 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014, no impairment losses reduced the fair value of “Trade receivables”.

 

 

 

 

11.Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash

 

At 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014, the cash recorded in the consolidated balance sheets mainly corresponded to amounts deposited in Grupo Gadea’s current accounts with financial entities, which are almost entirely in euros or US dollars, freely drawable and bearing interest at market rates.

 

Other cash equivalents

 

“Other cash equivalents” in the consolidated balance sheet comprised of highly liquid financial investments (time deposits) that are easily converted to cash and maturing in less than three months. They do not have significant risks in changing value and form part of the Group’s normal cash Directors.

(a)In February 2015 the consolidated subsidiary Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. distributed to its sole shareholder, Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L.U., a dividend against reserves and out of 2014 profit totaling €24,500k. This amount is not included in this table as reserves of Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. but as reserves of the Parent in the previous one.

 

The consolidated subsidiary Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. is not allowed to distribute its voluntary reserves until the development expenses capitalized as intangible assets are fully amortized, unless the amount of unrestricted reserves is at least equal to the unamortized balances. At 30 June 2015, therefore, reserves of €25k were classified as restricted (€45k at 31 December 2014).

 

In accordance with Article 273 of the Revised Text of the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law, Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. must appropriate a restricted reserve equivalent to at least 5% of the goodwill recognized in the balance sheet. If no, or insufficient profit has been generated, the appropriation will be charged to unrestricted reserves. Reserves of the consolidated subsidiary Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. amounting to €140k were therefore restricted at 30 June 2015 (€105k at 31 December 2014).

Grupo Gadea uses financial hedging derivatives to mitigate and reduce its exposure to changes in interest rates (Note 16). The entire balance under this heading at 31 December 2013 corresponded to changes in the fair value of a derivative financial instrument at that date, which had been classified as a “cash flow hedge” as it met the requirements established in Spanish Generally Accepted Accounting Principles to that effect. This instrument matured and was cancelled in June 2014. The Group had no financial instruments classified as hedging instruments at 30 June 2015 or 31 December 2014.

 

 

 

 

14.Grants, donations and legacies received

 

The non-refundable investment grants received by Grupo Gadea (which at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 related, in their entirety, to the consolidated subsidiaries in which there are no non-controlling interests) and recorded under “Net Equity”, and the income from these grants taken to the consolidated income statements for the six months ended 30 June 2015 and for 2014 were as follows:

These grants were awarded mainly to finance the acquisition of property, plant and equipment (principally, new production lines and technological improvements).

 

Additions in 2014 corresponded to a Special Interest Incentive subsidy received from the Agency of Financing, Innovation and Business Internationalization of Castilla y Leon (ADE) totaling €838k to finance investments in buildings, technical facilities, machinery and IT equipment in the plant located at the Parque Tecnológico de León owned by the consolidated subsidiary Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U. At 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 this subsidy was pending collection and was recorded under “Trade and other receivables-Other receivables from public authorities” in the consolidated balance sheets at that dates (Note 17) as the Parent’s Directors consider that it will be collected in the short term.

 

The capital grants corresponding to Cyndea Pharma, S.L. were taken to income in 2014 following its removal from the scope of consolidation in that year (Note 2-e).

 

Compliance with the terms and conditions of the grants

 

The Parent’s Sole Director considers that they have complied and will continue to fully comply with the terms and conditions established in the Individual Grant Award Decisions for the grants recorded under “Net Equity” at 30 June 2015.

 

15.Non-controlling interests

 

The balance recorded under this caption in the consolidated balance sheet corresponds to the value of non-controlling interests in fully consolidated companies. The balance recorded under “Income attributable to Non-controlling interests” in the consolidated income statement corresponds to non-controlling interests’ share of profit or loss for each period.

 

However, at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 the Group did not have any non-controlling interests and therefore no balance is recorded under these headings at those dates.

  

 

 

 

16.Financial liabilities, suppliers and other payables

a)These loans were granted to the Group in 2012 and 2013 by various financial institutions and are repayable in regular installments with the final payments falling due in 2016 and 2017. Nevertheless, in February and March 2015 the Group decided to make early repayment of the entire amount outstanding on said loans.

 

b)Loan granted by Bankia, S.A. on 22 May 2014 under the “2014 ICO-Companies and Entrepreneurs” Financing Agreement, for an initial amount of €3,000k. Loans under this agreement are granted to fund investments in productive fixed assets, the acquisition of companies or to fund working capital. The loan is repayable in 36 monthly installments (with the final installment due on 20 June 2017).

 

c)Loan granted by Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. on 30 April 2014 under the “2014 ICO-Companies and Entrepreneurs” Financing Agreement, for an initial amount of €2,000k. The loan is repayable in 36 monthly installments (with the final installment due on 30 April 2017).

 

d)Loan granted by Banco Santander, S.A. on 22 May 2014 under the “2014 EIB-SME-Medium-Sized Enterprises” Financing Agreement., for an initial amount of €2,500k. Loans under this agreement are granted to fund investments in productive fixed assets. The loan is repayable in 36 monthly installments (with the final installment due on 22 May 2017).

 

 

 

 

e)Loan granted by Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. on 19 February 2015 for an initial amount of €10,000k, repayable in 48 monthly installments, the last of which falls due on 19 February 2019.

 

f)Loan granted by Banco Santander, S.A. on 19 February 2015 under the “BEI-Inversión 2012” Financing Agreement for an initial amount of €12,500k and used to fund working capital requirements. The loan is repayable in 20 quarterly installments (with the final installment due on 19 February 2020).

 

g)Loan granted by Bankia, S.A. on 19 February 2015 for an initial amount of €7,000k, repayable in 60 monthly installments, the last of which falls due on 19 February 2020.

 

h)Loan granted by Caixabank, S.A. on 26 February 2015 for an initial amount of €3,000k, repayable in 10 half-yearly installments, the last of which falls due on 30 June 2020.

 

All these loans bear interest at a rate equivalent to the Euribor plus a market spread, with the exception of one (f) which bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.5%. Nevertheless, the terms of this loan state that if it is repaid early (due to a decision by the Group or because one of the contractual conditions triggering early repayment occurs), the Group must pay the financial institution an amount in compensation for any financial losses it suffers as a result of this early repayment, based on a pre-established formula. At 30 June 2015 the Group does not plan or expect to repay this loan early and therefore it is unlikely that it will have to pay this compensation and no provision has been made in this connection.

 

Short-term discount facilities and funding for foreign transactions (imports and exports)

 

At 30 June 2015, the Group had been granted various short-term discounting facilities and funding for foreign transactions by various financial institutions with a combined total limit of €10,600k, none of which was drawn down at that date (at 31 December 2014 the funding limit was €10,500k and the amount drawn down totaled €509k).

 

Derivatives

 

At 30 June 2015 the Group had contracted a derivative financial instrument in order to reduce the impact of fluctuations in variable interest rates on a loan that a financial institution granted the Group in February 2015.

 

The Group hedges the interest rate risk of the initial amount of the aforementioned bank loan through an interest rate swap (“IRS”). In the “IRS” interest rates are exchanged so that the Group receives from the financial institution a variable rate (3 month Euribor) in exchange for a fixed interest payment for the same nominal (0.30%). The variable interest rate received for the derivative offsets the interest payment on the hedged transaction. The end result is a fixed interest payment on the hedged financing.

 

While the intention of Group’s Management is to designate the aforementioned “IRS” arranged as a “hedge”, at 30 June 2015 such derivative financial instrument had not been designated as a “hedge”.

 

 

 

 

To determine the fair value of the interest rate derivative (“Interest Rate Swap” or “IRS”), the Group uses cash flow discounting based on the implicit rates determined by the euro interest rate curve, according to market conditions at the valuation date.

 

The detail of the only financial derivative contracted by the Group at 30 June 2015, and its fair value at that date, is as follows:

  CAP rate 3.9%

 

Grupo Gadea used an in-house IRS valuation model that uses as its inputs the Euribor and long-term swap market curves to determine the fair value of this interest rate derivative. The fair value of this derivative financial instrument at 31 December 2013 was €22k and was recorded, given its maturity date, under “Current payables-Derivatives” in the consolidated balance sheet at that date.

 

 

 

 

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

 

Changes in the fair value of the interest rate derivative contracted by the Group at 30 June 2015 depend on the variation of the long-term euro interest rate curve. In this sense, it is estimated that the fair value exposure to variations of +50/-10 basis points in the long-term interest rate curve was not significant.

 

Other financial liabilities

Loans granted by public bodies

 

At 30 June 2015, the most significant loans granted by public bodies to Grupo Gadea were the following:

 

A loan granted by the European Investment Bank (EIB) through the Castilla y León Business Innovation, Financing, and Internationalization Agency (ADE)

 

In 2012, the Parent received a €2,998k mortgage loan, secured against the land and buildings owned by Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U., with Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. acting as guarantor. This loan, which accrues an annual interest rate equivalent to the Euribor plus a market spread, was granted to finance the investment project for the production plant located in Parque Tecnológico de León owned by Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U. (Note 7). The outstanding principal at 30 June 2015 was €2,530k (€2,717k at 31 December 2014). The loan is repayable in 32 quarterly installments of €93.7k with the first installment payable on 9 May 2014 and the last on 7 February 2022.

 

Loans granted by the Center for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI)

 

The consolidated subsidiary Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U. was granted two subsidies by the Center for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) to finance two R&D projects. The details of the subsidies, which were awarded in 2013, are as follows:

 

 

 

 

ØA partially refundable grant of €476k (of which €413k is refundable and €63k is non-refundable) which had been collected in its entirety at 31 December 2014 and used to fund a project entitled “Development of biotechnical steroid bioconversion processes”. The refundable part of the grant bears interest at a fixed annual rate and is repayable in 15 half-yearly installments of €28k each with the first installment payable on 18 July 2016 and the last on 18 July 2023.

 

ØA partially refundable grant of €634k (of which €550k is refundable and €84k is non-refundable), of which €233k had been collected at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 (€202k corresponding to the refundable portion and €31k corresponding to the non-refundable portion) and used to fund a project entitled “Medication for the treatment of schizophrenia”. The refundable part of the grant bears interest at a fixed annual rate and is repayable in 15 half-yearly installments of €37k each with the first installment payable on 9 September 2017 and the last on 9 September 2024.

 

In relation to both grants, and since the first project and part of the second project had been carried out prior to 31 December 2014, the Group recorded the non-refundable part of the grants under Other operating revenues-Operating grants transferred to income for the year” in the consolidated income statement for 2014 in proportion to the expenses incurred on said projects to that date (€63k and €31k, respectively).

 

In the six months ended 30 June 2015 the Group paid the final amount outstanding on the loan granted by the Center for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) to consolidated subsidiary Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. (the outstanding balance at 31 December 2014 was €142k).

 

Refundable grant from the Agency of Financing, Innovation and Business Internationalization (ADE)

 

In 2013 the Agency of Financing, Innovation and Business Internationalization (ADE) conceded a €900k refundable grant to the consolidated subsidiary Crystal Pharma, S.A.U. under its “R&D Projects” program to fund the project “Development of processes to obtain active pharmaceutical ingredients”. The grant was collected in its entirety in 2014. It bears interest at a fixed annual rate and is repayable in 12 half-yearly installments of €75k each with the first installment payable on 17 February 2016 and the last on 17 August 2021.

 

Loans granted by the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness

 

The following loans were granted by the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness to Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U.:

 

ØA loan granted in two instalments, the first of which was made in 2012 for a nominal amount of €347k and the second was made in 2013 for a nominal amount of €1,387k. This loan was granted to finance the “Research and development of lyophilized sterile products and pioneering steroid hormones for biotransformation processes” project. The total budget amounted to approximately €462k and €1,849k in 2012 and 2013, respectively. This long-term loan, whose outstanding principal at 30 June 2015 and December 31, 2014 amounted to €1,646k, does not have a set contractual interest rate and is recorded at amortized cost. The positive difference between the nominal and present value of the loan, calculated using the “effective interest rate method” is recorded under “Capital grants” (Note 14). The outstanding principal at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 was €1,649k. At 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014, the Parent had complied with all the technical and economic terms and conditions of the loan.

 

 

 

 

ØTwo loans granted in 2014 for nominal amounts of €463k and €83k, respectively, to finance two projects as part of the National Program for Research aimed at the challenges of society under the framework of the 2013-2016 Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation: “Biotechnical steroid production (PROBIODES)” and “Bioconversion of phytosterol in active pharmaceutical ingredients”. These loans are drawable in four and three annual instalments, respectively, the first amount of €87k having been drawn down at 30 June 2015 (no amount had been received at 31 December 2014). These loans accrue interest at a fixed annual rate and are repayable in seven annual installments from 1 February 2018 to 1 February 2024. It is considered that at 30 June 2015 Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U. had complied with all the technical and financial terms of these loans and the balance drawn down (€87k) is therefore recognized as a non-current liability in the consolidated balance sheet at that date.

 

The maturity schedule of the loans granted to the Group by public authorities at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 is as follows:

Other financial liabilities

 

These balances at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 include a payable for the purchase by the consolidated subsidiary Bioraw S.L.U. of a production plant, acquired by purchase deed on 14 March 2014. At 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 the amount outstanding totaled €1,485k and €1,545k, respectively, and the parties had agreed that payment (including the principal and implicit interest) would be made as follows:

 

 

 

 

-€240k in 24 monthly installments of €10k each, the last falling due on 5 February 2016.

 

-One payment of €1,405k on 14 March 2016.

 

This liability is recorded at its nominal value as this was not deemed to differ materially from its present value at 30 June 2015.

 

The remaining balances recorded under this heading at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 corresponded mainly to payables to suppliers of capital goods.

Corporate income tax

 

As described in Note 5-k, for corporate income tax purposes, the Spanish Parent and the consolidated subsidiary Companies file consolidated tax returns as a Tax Group of which Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L. is the Parent.

 

 

 

 

The corporate income tax charge is calculated for each consolidated subsidiary based on accounting profit, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which need not coincide with taxable income, this latter being the tax base.

 

The tax rate applicable to the total expected profit for the year has been used to calculate the corporate income tax expense for the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 2014. The tax expense is therefore based on applying the estimated effective annual average tax rate to the profit before tax for the interim period. Nevertheless, the tax effects of one-off events and specific transactions in the period have also been taken into account. The estimated effective tax rate used for the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 2014 was 25.46% and 26.02%, respectively. This latter is higher than the effective tax rate for 2014 due to, principally, the effect on the Group’s income statement for that year of the removal of Cyndea Pharma, S.L. from the scope of consolidation (Note 2-e).

 

Corporate income tax expense

 

The balances on the “Corporate income tax” heading in the consolidated income statements for the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 2014 have been determined as follows:

 

   Thousands of Euros 
Item  Six Months
Ended
30 June 2015
   Six Months

Estimated tax rate   25.46%   26.02%
Expense recorded under “Corporate income tax”   3,021    1,138 

 

The estimated Corporate income tax payable for the six months ended 30 June 2015 is recorded under “Trade and other payables-current tax liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheet at that date, net of withholdings and payments on account made in the period (€677k).

 

Deferred taxes

 

The “Deferred tax assets” and “Deferred tax liabilities” balances included within the consolidated balance sheets at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014, and the movements under these headings as at the aforementioned dates were the following:

Deferred tax assets

 

At 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014, “Deferred tax assets” corresponded to the following:

 

·Tax credits in respect of tax loss carryforwards, unused deductions and timing differences recognized by the consolidated subsidiary, Crystal Pharma, Ltd.

 

·The tax effect of timing differences between the recording of the amortization and depreciation expense on certain assets for accounting and tax purposes.

 

These deferred tax assets were recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as the Group’s management is reasonably sure that they will be recovered, based on recent forecasts of the future tax bases of the consolidated subsidiaries, and where applicable, of the consolidated Tax Group to which they belong.

 

Deferred tax liabilities

 

At 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014, “Deferred tax liabilities” mainly corresponded to the following:

 

·The tax effect of non-refundable capital grants recognized in “Net Equity” (Note 14).

 

·The tax effect of applying accounting and tax criteria to the amortization of intangible assets, the Group having availed itself of the accelerated amortization option allowed under the Revised Text of the Corporate Income Tax Law.

 

 

 

 

Deferred tax liabilities relating to capital grants will be written off when the corresponding grants are taken to income.

 

Tax recorded in net equity

 

The only taxes recognized directly in equity at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 correspond to deferred tax liabilities in respect of non-refundable capital grant liabilities recognized in “Net Equity”, and the movements thereon in the six months ended 30 June 2015 and during 2014 are detailed in the table above.

 

Tax loss carryforwards yet to be applied

 

At 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 the Spanish consolidated subsidiaries had no unused tax loss carryforwards. The consolidated subsidiary Crystal Pharma, Ltd., located in Malta, has unused tax loss carryforward generated in 2014 amounting €126k. At 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 the Group had recognized a tax credit for this unused tax loss carryforward by an amount of €44k, under caption “Deferred tax assets” of the consolidated balance sheet at such dates.

 

Deductions

 

Current corporate income tax legislation provides for various tax incentives. Deductions generated in a year in excess of the applicable legal limit may be deducted from the corporate income tax payable in subsequent years, in line with the limits and deadlines established in the applicable tax legislation.

 

The Group took advantage of the tax benefits provided by this legislation, deducting €773k from the 2014 Corporate income tax expense, as follows:

 

Item  Year
Generated
   Thousands
of Euros
 
         
Crystal Pharma, S.A.U.:        
Research and development   2014    250 
Research and development   2013    69 
Innovation   2014    106 
Sundry   2013-2014    12 
Charitable donations   2014    1 
Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U.:

Innovation   2014    15

Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L.:          
Charitable donations   2014    1 
Reinvestment of extraordinary gains   2014    4 
         773 

 

 

 

 

This deduction having been applied, at 31 December 2014 the Spanish consolidated companies had no further unused deductions.

 

In 2015 the Group expects to take advantage again of the tax benefits provided in Spanish legislation, although at 30 June 2015 no deduction generated in 2015 had been recognized.

 

Unused deductions corresponding to the Maltese consolidated subsidiary

 

At 30 June 2015 the Group had recognized under “Deferred tax assets” in the consolidated balance sheet at that date tax credits corresponding mainly to deductions pending application at that date by the Maltese consolidated subsidiary Crystal Pharma, Ltd. amounting to €547k. The Parent’s Sole Director considers that these deductions can reasonably expected to be used on the basis of recent estimates made by the Group’s management about the future performance of said consolidated subsidiary.

 

Years open to inspection

 

Under the current legislation, taxes cannot be considered as settled until the tax returns filed have been inspected by the Tax Authorities or the four year statute of limitations has elapsed.

 

In the first months of 2015 the tax authority had opened inspections in respect of the following taxes and fiscal years for the Group companies listed below:

 

Company  Tax  Period
Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L.  Value-Added Tax (VAT)  01/2011 to 12/2012
Crystal Pharma, S.A.U.  Value-Added Tax (VAT)  01/2011 to 12/2012
Crystal Pharma, S.A.U.  Value-Added Tax (VAT)  11/2014 & 12/2014
Crystal Pharma, S.A.U.  Import duties and Value-Added Tax (VAT) on Imports  2011 & 2014
Consolidated Tax Group 0075/09 headed by Grupo Gadea Farmacéutico, S.L. (Note 5-k)  Corporate income tax  2011 & 2012

 

At the date these interim consolidated annual financial statements were prepared, these inspections were still in progress.

 

During the six months ended 30 June 2015 the consolidated subsidiary Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U. was subject to a tax review and investigation regarding the 2014 Value-Added Tax (VAT). As a result of these actions, on 24 June 2015 a tax assessment was issued that was signed on an uncontested basis by said consolidated subsidiary, which has not resulted in any significant loss for the Group.

 

 

 

 

At 30 June 2015, the consolidated companies had the years 2011 to 2014, inclusive, and the transactions carried out in the six months ended 30 June 2015, open to inspection for all applicable taxes (excluding 2014 Value-Added Tax corresponding to Gadea Biopharma, S.L.U.), plus corporate income tax for 2010. In addition, at 31 December 2014 the consolidated subsidiary Crystal Pharma, Ltd., with registered address in Malta, had the years 2009 and 2010 open to inspection for VAT.

 

The Parent Company’s Sole Director considers that the settlements of those taxes have been done properly, so, even if differences were to arise in the interpretation of the regulations governing the tax treatment of its operations, such liabilities as could arise as a result of the inspection in progress or of inspections of the aforementioned years would not have a material effect on the interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2015.

 

18.Guarantees provided to third parties and other contingent liabilities

 

At 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014, the Group had provided guarantees to third parties, granted by various financial institutions, for a total amount of €1,699k and €1,758k, respectively. These mainly related to guarantees to ensure compliance with utilities payment obligations, to guarantee repayment of certain subsidized loans and other obligations to Local Authorities, and various advances paid on grants.

 

The Parent’s Sole Director believes that any liabilities which might arise from the guarantees provided and commitments and obligations contracted, and for which provision was not made at 30 June 2015 would not be material.

22.Nature and level of risk

 

Financial risks

 

The Groups policies for managing risk are established by the Financial Risk Committee and have been approved by the Parent’s Directors. Based on these policies, the Groups Finance Department has established a number of procedures and controls which allow for the identification, measurement and management of the risks inherent in the use of financial instruments.

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk arises from the possible loss caused by breach of contractual obligations by the Groups counterparties, i.e. the possibility of not recovering the financial assets for their carrying amount in the stipulated time frame.

 

 

 

 

To manage credit risk, the Group distinguishes between financial assets arising from operating activities and investing activities.

 

The sales and finance departments set limits for each client, which are calculated based on the information provided by a firm which specializes in analyzing companies’ solvency. In certain countries which are considered a greater risk due to political and geographical reasons, the Group uses more secure collection instruments such as letters of credit.

 

To manage the collection of overdue receivables, a regular report is prepared breaking them down by age and monthly reminders are issued on overdue accounts. Based on the Groups past experiences and the sector in which it operates, the Parent’s Sole Director does not expect any material defaults to occur. The credit limits of late paying customers are reviewed on a monthly basis.

 

Credit risk associated with cash funds is limited as Group Gadea generally maintains its cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions with a high level of solvency.

 

At 30 June 2015 it was not considered necessary to recognize any impairment loss in respect of these assets.

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group may not dispose of sufficient liquid funds, or have access to the amount required at an appropriate cost, in order to fulfil its payment obligations at all times. The Group aims to maintain available funds at a suitable level through policies that establish minimum cash requirements at all times. The Groups finance departments policy is to constantly review the maturity dates in the consolidated balance sheet so it can anticipate short- and medium-term cash requirements and implement a strategy to guarantee stable sources of funding. These procedures are always carried out in conjunction with the Groups general financial policies.

 

At 30 June 2015 Grupo Gadea had sufficient cash and credit facilities available to ensure liquidity and be able to meet all the payment obligations arising from its activity.

 

The Group will also continue to generate liquidity in the course of its normal operations and therefore expects to be able to meet its liabilities as they mature with no difficulties.

 

Market risk (including interest rate, exchange rate and other price risks)

 

Market risk is the risk of the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument varying due to interest rates, exchange rates or other price risks.

 

Interest rate risk is the risk of losses due to changes in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument as a result of fluctuations in market interest rates. The Groups main exposure to this type of risk corresponds to long-term loans and credit facilities granted to it with floating interest rates.

 

 

 

 

 

The Group manages interest rate risk by using on occasion floating to fixed interest rate swaps to hedge part of the loans taken out at variable rates. The Groups floating rate financing is tied to the Euribor.

 

A sensitivity analysis on the Groups financial debt at variable rates at 30 June 2015, taking into account the terms and conditions of the existing funding as at this date, showed that a 1% increase in the interest rate yield would not have a material impact on the consolidated income statement over the next twelve months.

 

The Parent’s Sole Director believes that there are no significant differences between the carrying amount and the fair value of financial assets and liabilities reported at 30 June 2015.

 

Exchange rate risk is the risk of losses due to changes in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates. The Groups main exposure to this type of risk corresponds to sales and purchases carried out in currencies different to that used by the Group (Note 21). While it is not Group policy to use exchange rate hedging instruments, the Parent’s Sole Director believes that much of the Groups exposure to this risk is hedged as the consolidated companies’ sales in US dollars are substantially offset by purchases in the same currency.

 

The Groups assets and liabilities include receivable and payable balances, current accounts and certain financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies. The balances in foreign currencies representing the Groups exposure to exchange rate risk at 30 June 2015 are detailed in Note 21.

 

Other price risks correspond to Grupo Gadeas exposure to fluctuations in the price of basic raw materials. Grupo Gadea continually monitors the price of these raw materials in order to make appropriate decisions at all times based on observed and expected market trends and the Groups strategy, although, given their nature, these raw materials are subject to high rotations rates. Fluctuations in raw materials prices are passed on to the selling price of the end product so they do not significantly impact the Groups consolidated income statement.

 

23.Environmental issues and greenhouse gas emissions rights

 

An environmental activity is any operation whose main purpose is to minimize environmental impacts and protect and improve the environment.

 

Expenses corresponding to protecting and improving the environment, which were taken directly to the consolidated income statement for the six months ended 30 June 2015, amounted to €436k (€221k in the six months ended 30 June 2014) and mainly related to the treatment and storage of industrial waste from the production processes of the consolidated subsidiaries.

 

 

 

 

The Group’s property, plant and equipment at 30 June 2014 included certain environmental assets belonging to Cyndea Pharma, S.L. (Note 2-e), whose cost and accumulated depreciation at that date amounted to €498k and €219k, respectively, corresponding basically to facilities for wastewater treatment, in order to minimize the environmental impact of the Company’s activities and protect and improve the environment.

 

Grupo Gadea does not have any other environmental responsibilities, assets, provisions or contingencies that could significantly affect the Groups equity, financial situation or profit. During the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 2014, Grupo Gadea did not receive any environmental grants or obtain income from environmental related business.

 

Given the nature of the Groups business, the consolidated subsidiaries have not been allocated any amount of greenhouse gas emissions rights under the National Allocation Plan. Therefore, at 30 June 2015, the Group had not recorded any balance or movement under “Greenhouse gas emissions rights” in the consolidated balance sheet or recognized any impairment thereto in the six months ended 30 June 2015. Additionally, during the six months ended 30 June 2015, the Group did not incur any expenses or recognize any provisions relating to this item. The Group has not signed any futures contracts relating to emissions rights, has not received any environmental grants or recognized any contingencies relating to greenhouse gas emissions.

 

24.Events after the reporting period

 

On 16 July 2015 all the share capital of the Parent was acquired by the company Exirisk Spain, S.L.U., whose registered offices are in Madrid (Spain) and whose owner is the AMRI Group, an international group.

 

No other significant events have taken place since the end of the 2014 reporting period that have not been disclosed in the remaining Explanatory Notes to the consolidated financial statements.

26.Disclosure on conflicts of interest of the Parent’s Directors

 

In compliance with article 229 “Duty to prevent situations of conflict of interest” of the revised text of the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law, approved by Royal Decree 1/2010, of 2 July and amended 4 December 2014, it is disclosed that none of the members of the Board of Directors of the Parent Company, nor any party related to said Directors or the companies comprising the Group, has any direct or indirect conflict of interest with the Group, with the exception of the following potential conflicts of interest with those of Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L.U. disclosed by Mr. José Luis Stampa Jäger, representing the Director Muggio Holding, S.L., who, in compliance with article 231 of the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law, identified certain persons linked to Muggio Holding, S.L. at 31 December 2014 who had shares or held posts in the following companies:

27.Segmented information

 

Article 84 of Royal Decree 1159/2010, 24 September, which approved the standards for preparing consolidated financial statements, states that the notes to the consolidated financial statements must present the Groups business by segment, disclosing which components comprise the Groups operating segments, i.e., generating income and incurring costs, and being subject to regular inspection, discussion and evaluation by the entitys highest decision-making body. In particular, any component that accounts for 10% or more of the turnover generated by all of the entitys business segments, including both intragroup and external sales, or the business areas that accounts for 10% or more the of the entitys total amount of assets must be disclosed.

 

Given the nature of the business carried out by the Group, the strategic business unit is the only segment recognized (this is not broken down by product line). This segment is managed as a single entity as, to date, it does not correspond to a specific market type or regulatory regime. No further breakdown by segment is therefore disclosed in these notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

The only client to which the Group’s sold goods or provided services representing over 10% of the Group’s consolidated turnover was Gentec, S.A. (12.66% and 9.62% in the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 2014, and 11.3% in 2014) (Note 20).

 

28.Differences and Reconciliation Between Spanish GAAP and U.S. GAAP

 

Differences between Spanish GAAP and U.S. GAAP

 

The principal differences between Spanish GAAP and U.S. GAAP (United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) that affect our net income and majority stockholders’ equity of the Group relate to the accounting treatment of the following items:

 

·Under Spanish GAAP, grants are initially recognized and presented directly in equity and are generally recognized as income on a systematic and rational basis. Under U.S. GAAP, there is no specific guidance on accounting for government grants but they generally follow International Financial Reporting Standards for grant accounting. The classification on the balance sheet and recognition in the income statement depends on the nature and the terms of the grants, but government grants are never presented within equity. In this case, government grants were awarded mainly to finance the acquisition of property, plant and equipment (principally, new production lines and technological improvements) and they are recognized under Spanish GAAP as income in accordance with amortization. Therefore, in order to make this accounting treatment compatible with US GAAP, government grants are reclassified as a liability.

 

·In the period of six-month ended 30 June 2014, in order to reduce the interest rate risk arising as a result of the granted loans, Gadea Group, entered into an interest rate swap with those financial entities that are accounted for as hedge accounting under Spanish GAAP. Spanish GAAP requires for hedge accounting that a hedge effectiveness assessment is performed at the balance sheet date. As the company reports annually, the assessment is prepared once a year. Under U.S. GAAP, ASC 815-20-35-2 requires entities to assess effectiveness every time financial statements or earnings are reported, and at least every three months; irrespectively of whether the company prepares financial statements quarterly or not. Therefore, in order for such hedges to qualify for hedge accounting under U.S. GAAP, an assessment should be prepared quarterly. As such quarterly assessment was not prepared (there was not need under Spanish GAAP).

 

 

 

 

·Capitalization of research and development expenses. Under Spanish GAAP, research expenditure may be capitalized if the same requirements as those established for the capitalization of development expenditure are met, and it is amortized over its useful life (maximum of five years). Development costs are capitalized if the related requirements are met and they are amortized over their useful life (presumed to be a maximum of five years if there is no evidence to the contrary). Under U.S. GAAP, expenses for research and development activities (except for certain computer software and website development costs, which is not the case of Gadea Group) are expensed as incurred. Following the U.S. GAAP guidance, capitalized development costs shall be expensed, therefore the amounts recorded within “Intangible Assets” caption under Spanish GAAP have been recognized into the heading “Research and Development” of the statements of operations under U.S. GAAP. Additionally, the amounts related to the amortization and impairment under Spanish GAAP have also been regularized because such amortization and impairment would have been not accounted for under U.S. GAAP (there would have not been asset to amortize or impair). The tax effect of these adjustments originates also a deferred tax. These adjustments have been calculated on a cumulative basis for each period.

 

·Statement of cash flows. In the case of Gadea Group´s consolidated financial statements, statement of cash flows prepared under Spanish GAAP is similar to cash flows standards for U.S. GAAP except for different presentation of subtotals. Other potential differences between both GAAPs are not applicable in the case of Gadea Group.

 

We also bring your attention to certain issues:

 

a)Gadea Grupo Farmacéutico, S.L. at December 31, 2013 maintained an investment of 50% in Cyndea Pharma, S.L. (the remaining participation was held by Infarco, S.A.). The entity was defined under Spanish GAAP as a “jointly controlled entity”, an accounted for the proportionate consolidation method. Under U.S. GAAP, Cyndea Pharma, S.L. would also be defined as a “jointly control entity” (i.e. a corporate joint venture) since no conditions exist that indicate substantive control of Cyndea Pharma, S.L. by any of the parties. Related to the accounting of such investment ASC 323-10-05-4 states that “equity method also best enables investors in corporate joint ventures to reflect the underlying nature of their investment in those ventures”. Therefore, investors should account for investments in common stock of corporate joint ventures by the equity method in consolidated financial statements. However, in U.S. GAAP proportionate consolidation is permitted for unincorporated joint ventures in specialized industries such as construction industry or extractive industry, but not for the pharmaceutical industry. Therefore, following the U.S. GAAP guidance, Cyndea Pharma S.L. should be accounted for under the equity method in the U.S. GAAP financial statements our sub which is consolidated under proportional method for purposes of Spanish GAAP. However, in the context of the information required by Rule 3-05 and Item 17 of Form 20-F, Gadea Group has the option of maintaining the use of the proportionate consolidation method, provided Gadea Group discloses the data of such investment consolidated within Gadea Group´s consolidated financial statements.

b)Collaborative arrangements. Gadea Group enters into different arrangements in which the Gadea Group carries out the research, development and pharmaceutical manufacturing services of a generic pharma product and the counterparty takes the responsibility of the promotion, sale and distribution. Such activities are carried out without setting up a new legal entity and the parties will share income and expenses. There is not specific literature under Spanish GAAP for this kind of agreements. As a result, the Company has accounted for the incurred expenses (until the moment, this kind of arrangements has not generated operating income as a consequence of sales) and the amount billed of these expenses to the other partner has been accounted for as Other operating expenses. Topic 808 under U.S. GAAP regulates collaborative arrangements. To be within the scope of ASC 808, a venturer must be (1) an active participant in the joint operations conducted primarily outside of a legal entity, and (2) exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on commercial success of the joint activity. Both criteria are met in the case of the collaborative arrangements in which Gadea Group enters as it directs and carries out several the activities of the joint operating activity, participates in a Steering Committee, shares income and expenses, etc. Participants in a collaborative arrangement shall report costs incurred and revenue generated from transactions with third parties (that is, parties that do not participate in the arrangement) in each entity’s respective income statement. In accordance with ASC 808, an entity shall evaluate the income statement classification of payments between participants pursuant to a collaborative arrangement based on the nature of the arrangement, the nature of its business operations, the contractual terms of the arrangement, and whether those payments are within the scope of other authoritative accounting literature on income statement classification. Currently, the arrangements are in the phase of development and the only payments are those which the counterparty makes to the Group to compensate the research and development activities. Therefore, these payments should be accounted for as an offset to research and developments costs. Future payments in both directions shall be evaluated by the Group before deciding the classification in the income statement. However, this difference between Spanish GAAP and U.S. GAAP would result only in reclassifications in the statements of recognized income and expense (which besides, as it is pointed out below in this document, has a different structure) but not in the net income caption, therefore it has no effect in the reconciliation.

 

 

 

 

We also would like to highlight that, under Spanish GAAP, the income statement is presented by nature. U.S. GAAP requires expenses to be classified by their function for SEC registrants.

 

Reconciliation of Spanish GAAP to U.S. GAAP

Exhibit 99.2

 

UNAUDITED PROFORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

On July 16, 2015, Albany Molecular Research, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Exirisk Spain, S. L., the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary (“ Acquisition Sub ”), Gadea Grupo Farmaceutico, S.L.U. (“ Gadea ”) and certain other parties thereto, entered into a definitive Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement ”) pursuant to which Acquisition Sub purchased 100% of Gadea’s capital stock.

 

The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 and the unaudited combined condensed statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014 are based on the separate historical financial statements of the Company and Gadea after giving effect to the acquisition, U.S. GAAP adjustments to Gadea’s local GAAP financial statements, and the assumptions and preliminary pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet presents the Company’s historical financial position combined with Gadea as if the acquisition had occurred on June 30, 2015. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations are presented as if the acquisition and financing required to fund the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2014 and combines the historical results of the Company and Gadea for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and for year ended December 31, 2014. The historical financial results have been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the acquisition, factually supportable, and with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results of the companies.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements included herein use the acquisition method of accounting, with the Company treated as the acquirer. The preliminary purchase price for the Gadea acquisition was approximately $140.7 million. The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and upon assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. A final determination of the purchase price and allocation thereof to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed has not been made, therefore, the allocation reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be considered preliminary and is subject to the completion of a more comprehensive valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final determination of the purchase price and allocation thereof could differ from the pro forma information included herein. Amounts preliminarily allocated to intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, inventory, and goodwill may change significantly, and amortization methods and useful lives may differ from the assumptions that have been used in this unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information, any of which could result in a material change in operating expenses.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations are provided for illustrative purposes only. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations are not necessarily, and should not be assumed to be, an indication of the results that would have been achieved had the acquisition been completed as of the date indicated or that may be achieved in the future and should not be taken as representative of future consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the Company. Furthermore, no effect has been given in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations for synergistic benefits and potential cost savings, if any, that may be realized through the combination of the companies or the costs that may be incurred in integrating their operations.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations should be read together with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations, the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the historical financial statements of Gadea and accompanying notes for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, included in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

 

1.Description of Transaction and Basis of Presentation

On July 16, 2015, the Company completed the purchase of Gadea Grupo Farmaceutico, S.L.U. (Gadea), a contract manufacturer of complex active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and finished drug product. The preliminary estimated aggregate purchase price is $140,741.

 

For the purposes of these pro forma financial statements, the estimated aggregate purchase price has been preliminarily allocated based on an estimate of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired as of the acquisition date. The allocation of the estimated acquisition consideration for Gadea is based on estimates, assumptions, valuations and other studies which have not yet been finalized in order to make a definitive allocation. The final amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed could differ materially from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial statements. The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary estimated aggregate purchase price to the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired:

 

Assets Acquired     
Cash  $10,850 
Accounts receivable   23,515 
Inventory   49,600 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets   2,537 
Property and equipment   38,214 
Deferred tax assets   1,104 
Other non-current assets   25 
Goodwill   51,787 
Intangible assets   48,000 
Total assets acquired  $225,632 
      
Liabilities Assumed     
Accounts payable and accrued expenses  $16,392 
Debt   44,070 
Income taxes payable   3,650 
Deferred income taxes   19,252 
Other long-term liabilities   1,527 
Total liabilities assumed   84,891 
Net assets acquired  $140,741 

 

2.Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statement Adjustments

The pro forma adjustments are preliminary, based on estimates, and are subject to change as more information becomes available and after final analyses of the fair values of both tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are completed. Accordingly, the final fair value adjustments may be materially different from those presented herein.

 

There were no intercompany balances or transactions between the Company and Gadea as of the dates for the periods of these pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The Company has not identified any pre-acquisition contingencies where the related asset, liability or impairment is probable and the amount of the asset, liability or impairment can be reasonably estimated. Prior to the end of the purchase price allocation period, if information becomes available which would indicate it is probable that such events have occurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated, such items will be included in the purchase price allocation.

 

 

 

 

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are as follows:

 

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

(a)Represents acquisition accounting adjustment for the preliminary estimated fair value of acquired inventory.
(b)Represents acquisition accounting adjustment for the preliminary estimated fair value of acquired property and equipment.
(c)Represents the preliminary estimated goodwill associated with the acquisition.
(d)Represents acquisition accounting adjustment for the preliminary estimated fair value of acquired intangible assets.
(e)

The Company partially funded the acquisition utilizing the proceeds from a $200 million term loan that was provided for in conjunction with a $230 million senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Barclays Bank PLC that was completed in July 2015. The Company received net cash of $19,258 upon closing the Credit Agreement and paying the preliminary cash consideration of $96,961 to acquire Gadea. The Company did not have sufficient cash on hand to complete the acquisition as of June 30, 2015. For purposes of presenting the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2015, the Company has assumed that it entered into a Credit Agreement on June 30, 2015 for an amount sufficient to fund the preliminary cash consideration to acquire Gadea as of that date, with no additional loan proceeds received by the Company.

 (f)Represents acquisition accounting adjustment for the preliminary deferred tax liabilities associated with the transaction.
(g)Equity balances of Gadea that are eliminated in purchase accounting.
(h)Represents the issuance of 2,200 shares of the Company’s common stock as partial acquisition consideration at $19.90 per share aggregating to $43,780.

 

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations

(j)Represents depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014 of $375 and $750, respectively, related to the revaluation of acquired property and equipment depreciated on a straight-line basis over a period of 3 to 32 years.
(k)To reduce acquisition-related costs of $132 and $295, respectively, that are included in the historical financial results of the Company and Gadea for the six months ended June 30, 2015 that would have been incurred in the year ended December 31, 2013 assuming a January 1, 2014 acquisition date.
(l)Represents amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014 of $1,357 and $2,713, respectively, related to acquired intangible assets using the straight line method over a weighted average life of 15 years.
(m)

The Company partially funded the acquisition utilizing the proceeds from a $200 million term loan that was provided for in conjunction with a $230 million senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Barclays Bank PLC that was completed in July 2015. The Company did not have sufficient cash on hand to complete the acquisition as of January 1, 2014. For the purposes of presenting the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company has assumed that it entered into a Credit Agreement on January 1, 2014 for an amount sufficient to fund the preliminary cash consideration to acquire Gadea as of that date. The pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014 reflect the recognition of interest expense that would have been incurred on the Credit Agreement had it been entered into on January 1, 2014. The Company has recorded $5,281 and $12,229 of pro forma interest expense on the Credit Agreement for the purposes of presenting the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively.
