Adapt Pharma Limited
Consolidated financial statements
Independent auditor’s report
To the shareholders of Adapt Pharma Limited
Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Adapt Pharma Limited and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016, and the related consolidated income statements , consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the years ended 31 December 2017, 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2015, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States 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 auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Adapt Pharma Limited and its subsidiaries as of 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016, and their consolidated financial performance and their consolidated cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2017, 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2015, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

1 Nature of the business
Adapt Pharma Limited (the “Company”) is a company incorporated and domiciled in Ireland. The principal activity of the Company and its subsidiary undertakings (collectively “the Group”) is the research, development, acquisition/disposal, marketing and sale of pharmaceutical products and intellectual property.
In December 2014, the Group entered into a licence agreement with Opiant Pharmaceuticals Inc. (formerly known as Lightlake Therapeutics Inc.) in connection with the intellectual property rights associated with a naloxone nasal spray product. Through this licence agreement, Adapt Pharma acquired the worldwide development and commercialisation rights to this product.
In May 2015, the Group obtained a license to the Narcan® trademark.
In June 2015, the Group commenced a rolling submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) for Narcan® (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray 4mg (Narcan® Nasal Spray), a drug intended to treat opioid overdose, to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
In November 2015, the U.S. FDA approved Narcan® Nasal Spray for the emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose. Narcan® Nasal Spray was commercially launched in the U.S. in February 2016.
In July 2016, following the signing of an Interim Order by the Health Minister of Canada, allowing the sale of U.S. FDA approved Narcan® Nasal Spray in Canada, Narcan® Nasal Spray was launched in Canada. In October 2016, Health Canada granted approval for Narcan® Nasal Spray in Canada.
In January 2017, the U.S. FDA approved Narcan® (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray 2mg formulation for the emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose, as manifested by respiratory and/or central nervous system depression. The 2mg dose is approved for use in opioid-dependent patients expected to be at risk for severe opioid withdrawal in situations where there is a low risk for accidental or intentional opioid exposure by household contacts.
In August 2018, the Group entered into a definitive agreement for the Group to be acquired by Emergent BioSolutions Inc. The acquisition of the Group by Emergent BioSolutions Inc., is subject to customary closing conditions, including antitrust regulatory approval, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2018. Total consideration payable by Emergent BioSolutions Inc for the acquisition is up to $735 million consisting of an upfront payment of $635 million and up to $100 million in cash based on achievement of certain sales milestones through 2022. The upfront payment of $635 million consists of $575 million in cash and $60 million in Emergent BioSolutions Inc’s common stock, all of which are subject to adjustments.
2 Basis of preparation and accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) include the financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiary undertakings. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”).
The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars being the functional and presentational currency of Adapt Pharma Limited. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand (US$000), except when otherwise indicated. The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis, except for share-based payments and embedded derivatives which are based on fair value determined at the grant date and the balance sheet date, respectively.

Use of judgements and estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which are the basis of making the judgement about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Product sales revenue is recognised when title has transferred to the customer and the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership, which is typically on delivery to the customer. Revenues from sales of products are recorded net of government rebates and rebates under managed care plans, estimated allowances for sales returns, chargebacks, prompt payment discounts and specialty distributor and wholesaler fees. Calculating certain of these items, amongst other items, involves, estimates and judgements based on sales or invoice data, contractual terms, historical utilisation rates, new information regarding changes in applicable regulations and guidelines that would impact the amount of the rebates, our expectations regarding future utilisation rates and channel inventory data amongst other factors. We review the adequacy of our provisions for sales deductions at each balance sheet date. Amounts accrued for sales deductions are adjusted when trends or significant events indicate that adjustment is appropriate and to reflect actual experience. The most significant items deducted from gross product sales where we exercise judgement are rebates, sales returns and chargebacks.
The carrying value of the intangible assets is also a key judgement in these financial statements. The carrying value of finite life intangible assets are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are assessed for impairment annually or when facts and circumstances warrant an impairment
Going concern
The directors have given careful consideration to the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The directors, having made enquiries, believe that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Group financial statements.
New standards and interpretations
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements have been applied consistently during the year and prior years. A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for the period ended 31 December 2017 and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. The items that may have relevance to the Group are as follows:
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
IFRS 15 applies to the Groups financial statements beginning 1 January 2018. IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It replaced IAS 18 Revenue and related interpretations. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of the goods or services. Determining the timing of the transfer of control, at a point in time or over time, requires judgement.
The Group has adopted IFRS 15 using the cumulative effect method (without practical expedients), with the effect of initially applying this standard recognised at the date of initial application (i.e. 1 January 2018). Adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group in 2018. For periods ending after 1 January 2018, the Group’s financial statements will include additional disclosures including i) a disaggregation of revenue by category; ii) qualitative information about revenue performance obligations; and iii) significant accounting estimates and judgements made in determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to performance obligations and determining when performance obligations are satisfied.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
IFRS 9 applies to the Groups financial statements beginning 1 January 2018. IFRS 9 sets out requirements for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy or sell non-financial items. This standard replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.
i. Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities
IFRS 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. IFRS 9 eliminates the previous IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale. IFRS 9 largely retains the existing requirements in IAS 39 for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities. The adoption of IFRS 9 has not had a significant effect on the Group’s accounting policies related to financial liabilities and derivative financial instruments.
The following table sets out the original measurement categories under IAS 39 and the new measurement categories under IFRS 9 for each class of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities as at 1 January 2018.
| | Original classification under IAS 39 | | New classification under IFRS 9 |
Financial assets | | | | |
| | | | |
Trade and other receivables | | Loans and receivable | | Amortised cost |
Cash and cash equivalents | | Loans and receivable | | Amortised cost |
| | | | |
Financial Liabilities | | | | |
Trade and other payables | | Other financial liabilities | | Other financial liabilities |
Loans and borrowing | | Other financial liabilities | | Other financial liabilities |
Embedded financial liabilities | | FVPTL | | FVPTL |
ii. Impairment of financial assets
IFRS 9 replaces the ‘incurred loss’ model in IAS 39 with an ‘expected credit loss’ model. The new impairment model applies to financial assets measured at amortised cost.
For assets in the scope of the IFRS 9 impairment model, impairment losses are generally expected to increase and become more volatile. The Group has determined that the application of IFRS 9’s impairment requirements at 1 January 2018 did not result in a material additional allowance for impairment.
IFRS 16 Leases
IFRS 16 applies to the Groups financial statements beginning 1 January 2019. IFRS 16 specifies how an entity will recognise, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. The Group is currently assessing the impact of adoption of this new accounting standard.

Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiary undertakings.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by the Group.
Non-controlling interest (“NCI”) represents the portion of the equity (or net assets) of a subsidiary not attributable, either directly or indirectly, to the Group and is presented separately in the consolidated income statements (“income statement”) and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position (“statement of financial position”), distinguished from the Company’s shareholders’ equity.
In a business combination, NCI is measured at its proportionate share of the recognised amount of the subsidiary’s identifiable net asset at the acquisition date. NCI is allocated its share of profit or loss and its share of each component of other comprehensive income and other reserves included in equity, post-acquisition. Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
Associates
The Group’s interests in equity-accounted investees comprise interests in associates. Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operational policy decisions of an entity but is not control or joint control over those policies. Significant influence generally accompanies a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of voting rights.
Interests in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, from the date significant influence is deemed to exist and are recognised initially at cost, which includes transaction costs.
Under the equity method of accounting, the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits and losses of associates is recognised in the income statement and its share of post-acquisition movements in certain reserves is recognised directly in comprehensive income/loss. The cumulative post-acquisition share of profits and losses are adjusted against the cost of the investment in associates in the statement of financial position, less any impairment in value. If the Group’s share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of an associate, the carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred obligations in respect of the associate.
The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment loss.

2 Basis of preparation and accounting policies (continued)
Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that we incur in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
For acquisitions achieved in stages, the previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at its acquisition date fair value and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in the profit or loss account.
Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the fair value of the aggregate of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date. Currency translation differences on monetary assets and liabilities are taken to the income statement.
Results of subsidiaries with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies are translated into U.S. dollar at average exchange rates for the reporting period, and the related statements of financial position are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Adjustments arising on translation of the results and net assets of non-U.S. dollar associates are recognised in a separate translation reserve within equity. All other translation differences are taken to the income statement.
Goodwill arising on acquisition of a foreign associate is regarded as an asset of the foreign operation and is translated accordingly.
Revenue recognition
Revenues are recognised when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferred to the buyer, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
Product sales, net
Product sales are recognised when title has transferred to the customer and the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership, which is typically on delivery to the customer.
Revenue from sales transactions where the buyer has the right to return the product is recognised at the time of sale only if (i) the seller’s price to the buyer is substantially fixed or determinable at the date of sale, (ii) the buyer has paid the seller, or the buyer is obligated to pay the seller and the obligation is not contingent on resale of the product, (iii) the buyer’s obligation to the seller would not be changed in the event of theft or physical destruction or damage of the product, (iv) the buyer acquiring the product for resale has economic substance apart from that provided by the seller, (v) the seller does not have significant obligations for future performance to directly bring about resale of the product by the buyer, and (vi) the amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated.
Revenues from sales of products are recorded net of estimated allowances for returns, specialty distributor fees, wholesaler fees, prompt payment discounts, government rebates, chargebacks and rebates under managed care plans. Provisions for returns, specialty distributor fees, wholesaler fees, government rebates and rebates under managed care plans are included within current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. Provisions for chargebacks and prompt payment discounts are generally shown as a reduction in accounts receivable.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is reflected in the income statement in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.
Intangible assets available for use consist primarily of purchased developed technology and intellectual property and are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 8 to 10 years, and are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the income statement in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible assets.
Intangible assets not yet ready for use comprise acquired In-Process Research & Development, or IPR&D. IPR&D is not amortised but tested for impairment on an annual basis or when facts and circumstances warrant an impairment test. Any impairment charge is recorded in profit or loss. If and when development is complete, which generally occurs when regulatory approval to market a product is obtained, the associated assets would then be amortised over their estimated useful lives.
Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of depreciable non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. Non-depreciable intangible assets, which comprise assets not yet ready for use are tested annually for impairment and additionally if any indicators of impairment are identified.
An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.
The recoverable amount of assets is the greater of their fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Current and deferred income tax
Tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Tax expense is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current income tax
Current income tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities at rates expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled, or the asset is recovered. A deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related income tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to either comprehensive income/(loss) or shareholders’ equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recorded in either comprehensive income/(loss) or shareholders’ equity, respectively.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority and the same taxable entity.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
Research and development expenses
Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is expensed as incurred.
An internally-generated intangible asset is recognised only if development costs are measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and we intend to, and have sufficient resources to, complete development and to use or sell the asset. We have determined that, to date, the regulatory, clinical or field trial risks inherent in the development of our products currently preclude us from capitalising any development costs.

Employee benefit plans
The Group operates a number of defined contribution retirement plans. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which related services are rendered by employees.
Leases
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Property, plant and equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of property, plant and equipment to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Furniture and fittings | | 5 years |
Equipment | | 3 years |
Computer equipment | | 3 years |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. In the case of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods, cost is calculated on a first-in, first-out basis and includes the expenditure incurred in acquiring inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and then carried at amortised cost less allowance for impairment. Appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in the income statement when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired.
Finance income and costs
Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in the income statement, using the effective interest method.
Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, and bank charges. All borrowing costs are recognised in the income statement using the effective interest method.
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
Ordinary declared as final dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are approved by shareholders. Interim dividends are recognised as a liability when declared.

2 Basis of preparation and accounting policies (continued)
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognised initially on the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial liability is derecognised when the Group’s contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.
Financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings and trade and other payables. Such financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in finance expense in the income statement.
Embedded derivatives
Derivatives embedded in host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not held for trading or designated as fair value through profit and loss. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
Share-based payments
Share-based payment expense for share options awarded to employees is measured and recognised based on their estimated grant date fair values. The fair value of the award is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The value of awards expected to vest is recognised as an expense in the income statement over the requisite service periods together with a corresponding increase in equity.

3 Business combination
In 2014, the Group through Adapt Pharma Limited invested in Avectas Limited (‘Avectas’) acquiring a 29.33% equity interest in Avectas. Avectas is an Irish incorporated company which is involved in the research and development of delivery platform technology with a focus on gene and cellular therapy. Avectas is a private entity that is not listed on any public exchange.
In October 2015, the Group entered into a loan agreement with Avectas. Under the terms of the agreement, the Group provided a euro denominated loan with an aggregate principal amount of €1.5 million to Avectas. Avectas drew down the loan in October 2015. On 18 April 2016, the loan agreement with Avectas was amended. The amended agreement increased the loan facility from the Group to Avectas from €1.5 million to €3.5 million and the repayment date was extended from October 2016 to April 2017. Avectas drew down the incremental loan of €2.0 million on 21 April 2016.
Through to April 2016, the Group’s interest in Avectas was accounted for using the equity method in the consolidated financial statements (see Note 7).
On amending the loan agreement with Avectas Limited, the Group re-assessed whether it controlled Avectas. Giving consideration to all pertinent facts including but not limited to the level of the Company’s equity interest in Avectas and the significant financial support provided by the Group to Avectas through loan facilities, it was determined that the Company controlled Avectas.
The fair value of the assets and liabilities of Avectas Limited at 18 April 2016, being the date that the Group was deemed to control Avectas Limited were included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group at that date. The results of operations of Avectas have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group from 18 April 2016. In 2016, the Group’s consolidated income statement included revenues of $0.5 million from the Avectas business as measured from 18 April 2016 to 31 December 2016. If Avectas operations had been consolidated with the Group’s operations from 1 January 2016, there would not have been a material impact on revenue or loss before tax for the Group in 2016. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Group at 18 April 2016, are summarised below:
| | At 18 April 2016 | |
| | US$’000 | |
| | | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | 921 | |
Accounts receivable | | 203 | |
Inventories | | 116 | |
R&D tax credit receivable | | 215 | |
Prepaid and other current assets | | 73 | |
Intangible assets | | 8,056 | |
Property, plant and equipment | | 165 | |
Accounts payable and accrued expenses | | (431 | ) |
Convertible loan | | (398 | ) |
Derivative financial liability | | (383 | ) |
Deferred tax liabilities | | (1,007 | ) |
Loans advanced by Adapt Pharma | | (1,708 | ) |

In April 2017, the Group through Adapt Pharma Limited invested a further US$2.7million (€2.5 million) in Avectas increasing its equity interest in Avectas from 29.33% to 45.24%. At the same time, non-controlling shareholders of Avectas invested a further US$0.6 million in Avectas. Of the US$0.6 million invested, US$0.4 million was raised through the issuance of shares in Avectas and US$0.2 million through the conversion of an outstanding loan into shares in Avectas. The change in the Group’s interest in Avectas in 2017 has been accounted for as an equity transaction by way of an increase of US$1.4 million to non-controlling interest within equity, representing an increase in the portion of the net assets of Avectas attributable to non-controlling shareholders.
In March 2018, Avectas Limited issued €1.6 million (US$1.9 million) convertible loan notes (“2018 Convertible Loan Notes”). The Company subscribed for €1.5 million (US$1.8 million) of the 2018 Convertible Loan Notes.
In May 2018, following the Company serving notices on Avectas Limited, all outstanding convertible loan notes were converted into 277,777 ordinary shares of Avectas Limited. The Company disposed of its entire investment in Avectas Limited by transferring its investment in Avectas to ALSHC Limited, by way of a distribution. ALSHC Limited is owned by the shareholders of the Company.
4 Revenue
Revenue is primarily derived from the Group’s main activity and principally comprises revenue from the sale of the Group’s pharmaceutical products.

7 Equity accounted investee
The Group’s interest in Avectas through to 18 April 2016 was accounted for using the equity method in the consolidated financial statements. It was determined that the Group controlled Avectas from 18 April 2016. The fair value of the assets and liabilities of Avectas Limited at 18 April 2016, being the date that the Group was deemed to control Avectas Limited were included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group at that date. The results of operations of Avectas have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group from 18 April 2016 (see Note 3). Movement in the equity accounted investment from 1 January 2015 to 18 April 2016 is shown below:

On 18 April 2016, being the date the Company was deemed to control Avectas Limited, the previously held equity interest in Avectas Limited was re-measured to its fair value of US$1.71 million. The resulting gain of US$0.86 million was recognised in the profit or loss in 2016. The cumulative foreign exchange loss of $0.18 million previously recognised in other comprehensive income was reclassified to the profit and loss.

Acquired developed technology
In March 2016, the Group made a milestone payment of US$2.5 million to Opiant Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Opiant”) following the first commercial sale of Narcan® (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray in the U.S. In October 2016, Health Canada approved the Group’s naloxone nasal spray in Canada for the emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose and in accordance with the licensing agreement with Opiant, the Group made a milestone payment of US $0.5 million to Opiant.
In accordance with the licensing agreement entered with Opiant Pharmaceuticals in 2014 (“Opiant Licensing Agreement), sales-based milestones become payable by the Group once net sales of Narcan® (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray exceed certain thresholds in a given calendar year. In 2017, net sales of Narcan® (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray exceeded certain sales thresholds and milestones totalling US$33.0 million became payable by the Group. Each sales-based milestone has been capitalised within intangible assets when net sales of Narcan® (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray exceeded the corresponding sales threshold. Amortisation of these milestone payments commenced in the month capitalised. Please refer to Note 13 for further details on the settlement of accrued milestone payments after 31 December 2017.
The weighted average remaining useful life of acquired developed technologies at 31 December 2017 and 2016 was 7.9 years and 8.9 years, respectively. The amortisation of licences in 2017 and 2016 has been recognised within Cost of Sales in the income statement. Royalties based on product sales, payable by the Group, are recognised as an expense in cost of sales in the profit and loss in the period in which the associated sale takes place.

The Opiant Licensing Agreement sets out each of the sales-based milestone amounts which become payable by the Group, once net sales of Narcan® (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray are exceeded in a calendar year. Each sales-based milestone is payable once, only upon the first achievement of such milestone. Accrued milestone payments of $25.0 million at 31 December 2017 represent the amounts payable by the Group at that balance sheet date due to net sales of Narcan® (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray exceeding certain net sales thresholds in 2017.
In February 2018, the Group entered into a licensing agreement (“2018 License Agreement”) with a third party in connection with nasal naloxone patents. Total upfront consideration in connection with the licensing agreement included US$12.5 million, which was paid upon signing.
In accordance with the Opiant Licensing Agreement, the Group can deduct 50% of the upfront payment paid to a third party in respect of nasal naloxone patents from royalties and sales-based milestones payable by the Group. Accordingly, the Group settled the accrued milestone payment liability in March 2018, by making a payment totalling $18.75 million. The $18.75 million represented $25.0 million of milestones payable at 31 December 2017 less $6.25 million, being 50% of the upfront payment made in respect of the 2018 License Agreement. Therefore, there was a $6.25 million reduction in the $25.0 million milestone payable to Opiant which was capitalised within intangible assets as at 31 December 2017.

8% Convertible Preference Shares
The Company has a 45.24% equity interest in Avectas Limited (“Avectas”). It has been determined that the Company controls Avectas and accordingly, the liabilities of Avectas have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group from 18 April 2016.
Avectas had previously issued 250,000 and 100,000 Convertible Preference Shares in April 2012 and October 2013, respectively. Avectas received €0.35 million from the issuance of the Convertible Preference Shares. The Convertible Preference Shares may be redeemed in full on the 5th anniversary of the issuance of the shares. Alternatively, the holder of the Convertible Preference Shares has the option to convert the Convertible Preference Shares into a variable number of ordinary shares in the capital of Avectas in the event of a conversion event being either a qualifying investment or a listing. On 25 January 2018, all outstanding Convertible Preference Shares were converted into 35,113 ordinary shares in Avectas.
The finance charge on the 8% Convertible Preference Shares is accrued at 3% in accordance with the terms of agreement. The 3% finance charge represents the base rate which is deferred until such time as the Convertible Preference Shares are redeemed or converted. In 2017, the Group recognised a finance charge of US$0.01 million (2016: US$0.01 million, 2015: US$Nil) in respect of the Convertible Preference Shares.
The Convertible Preference Shares contain embedded derivatives that require separation under IAS 39 as their economic characteristics and risks are not deemed to be closely related to the host contract. At 31 December 2017, the fair values of the embedded derivative liabilities are estimated at US$0.4 million (2016: US$0.4 million).
Term Loan
In April 2016, Avectas Limited entered into a loan agreement with a shareholder of Avectas Limited. Under the terms of the agreement, the shareholder advanced a euro denominated loan with an aggregate principal amount of €0.2 million to Avectas. On 21 April 2017, this loan was converted by the shareholder into 11,111 ordinary shares of Avectas Limited.

On 20 December 2017, the shareholders of the Company approved a reduction of US$15.0 million in the Company’s share premium account with the resulting reserve to be treated as profits available for distribution. The resolution was registered with the Companies Registration Office on 20 December 2017.

In April 2015, the Adapt Pharma Limited Share Option Plan (the “Adapt Pharma 2015 Plan”) was established. Under the Adapt Pharma 2015 Plan, the Company grants options to purchase ordinary shares of the Company to employees of its subsidiary entities. The options are granted at fixed exercise prices equal to the estimated fair value of the Company’s shares at the grant date. Share options typically vest over a period of four or five years from the grant date. Vesting is contingent on an exit event, including share sale and as such, would ordinarily vest on closing of the acquisition of the Group by Emergent BioSolutions Inc.

17 Financial instruments and risk management
We manage our financial risk exposures on a group wide basis and seek to reduce our exposure to significant risks through a process of controlling, monitoring and reporting. Our approach to the management of these financial risks is further described for each risk area below.
Financial value hierarchy
We use the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
· Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
· Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
· Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
The group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
Cash, trade and other receivables, trade payables and other current financial liabilities
The fair value of cash, trade and other receivables, trade payables and other current financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Interest rate risk
At 31 December 2017 and 2016, the Group had US$0.4 million and US$0.6 million of external borrowings, respectively, all of which has been advanced to Avectas Limited. There is little exposure to interest rate risk on such loan agreements as under the agreements the borrowings subject to a fixed finance charge.
The Group’s policy is to ensure that its cash is secure and held in short term fixed deposit accounts or current accounts with financial institutions. During 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Group held cash on short term deposit with financial institutions, earning interest at various variable and fixed interest rates. In 2017, the average interest earned on cash and cash equivalents held on deposit was at a rate of approximately 0.25% (2016: 0.25%, 2015: 0.25%). A significant change in the interest rate would not have a material impact on the operations of the Group.
Foreign exchange risk
At 31 December 2017 and 2016, the majority of the Group’s assets and liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollar. The Group has some exposure to transactions in foreign currencies. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. The resulting monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the appropriate functional currency at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and the resulting gains and losses are reported in foreign currency gain/(loss) in the consolidated income statement. At 31 December 2017 and 2016, our primary exposure to foreign exchange transaction risk related to euro net monetary assets held by subsidiaries with a U.S. dollar functional currency. At 31 December 2017, a 10% weakening in the Euro against the U.S. dollar would have reduced net profit by approximately $0.7 million (2016: increased net loss by US$0.1 million).
The functional currency of the Group’s Canadian subsidiary is the Canadian dollar and the functional currency of Avectas is the euro. Revenue and expense accounts of an entity, with a non-U.S. dollar functional currency are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. A 10% strengthening of foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar would have reduced net profit for the year ended 31 December 2017 by approximately US$0.3 million (2016: increased net loss by US$0.2 million).
Credit risk
We are subject to credit risk from our accounts receivable related to our product sales. We monitor our exposure within accounts receivable and record a reserve against uncollectible accounts receivable as necessary. We extend credit to customers in the United States and in Canada. Customer creditworthiness is monitored. As at 31 December 2017 and 2016, four customers accounted for 46% and 88% of gross accounts receivable, respectively. As at 31 December 2017 and 2016, no trade receivable balances were impaired.
Liquidity
At 31 December 2017, the Group has cash balances of US$92.0 million (2016: US$83.8 million). The directors are satisfied that the Group has sufficient cash funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due.
