AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Shareholders of
Transition Therapeutics Inc.
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets ofTransition Therapeutics Inc.as at June 30, 2007 and 2006 and the consolidated statements of loss and deficit, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at June 30, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Comments by Auditors on Canada-U.S. Reporting Differences
In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when there are changes in accounting principles that have a material effect on the comparability of the company’s financial statements, such as the change related to accounting for inventory as described in note 2 to the financial statements. Our report to the shareholders dated September 11, 2007 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not require a reference to such a change in accounting principles in the auditors’ report when the change is properly accounted for and adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
(in Canadian dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Transition Therapeutics Inc. [“Transition” or the “Company”] is a biopharmaceutical company, incorporated on July 6, 1998 under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The Company is a product-focused biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutics for disease indications with large markets. The Company’s lead technologies are focused on the treatment Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes.
The success of the Company is dependent on bringing its products to market, obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals and achieving future profitable operations. The continuation of the research and development activities and the commercialization of its products are dependent on the Company’s ability to successfully complete these activities and to obtain adequate financing through a combination of financing activities and operations. It is not possible to predict either the outcome of future research and development programs or the Company’s ability to fund these programs going forward.
Effective September 22, 2006, Ellipsis Neurotherapeutics Inc., 1255205 Ontario Inc. and 1255206 Ontario Inc. amalgamated with Waratah Pharmaceuticals Inc. [“Waratah”]. As a result of the amalgamation, these consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Transition Therapeutics Leaseholds Inc. and Waratah Pharmaceuticals Inc. These financial statements include the results of Waratah’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Waratah Pharmaceuticals Corporation up to May 8, 2007 when the subsidiary was dissolved. In addition, these financial statements also include the financial results of NeuroMedix Inc. and NeuroMedix US Inc. from May 9, 2007, the date of acquisition [note 4].
All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
2. CHANGE OF ACCOUNTING POLICY
During the fourth quarter of the current year, the Company changed its accounting policy related to inventories to adopt CICA Handbook section 3031 — Inventories, effective July 1, 2006. As a result of the adoption, the net realizable value of the inventory is now measured at the estimated selling price of the inventory less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs to make the sale. Previously the Company measured net realizable value at the inventory’s replacement cost. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the change resulted in an increase in net loss of $525,810. The adoption of the new accounting policy resulted in a $0.03 increase in the loss per share. The change in accounting policy has been applied in accordance with the transitional provisions which permitted the Company to charge the difference in the measurement of opening inventory to the opening deficit for the year without restatement of prior years.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates included in these consolidated financial statements are the valuation of intangible assets, investment tax credits receivable, future income tax assets, inventory and impairment assessments of capital and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from the estimates used.

Transition Therapeutics Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
(in Canadian dollars)
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments
Cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than ninety days at the time of purchase and are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Short-term investments consist principally of fixed income securities with original maturities of greater than ninety days and less than one year at the time of purchase carried at amortized cost. If there is an other than temporary impairment, the Company writes down the loan to fair value.
Investment tax credits
Investment tax credits [“ITCs”] are accrued when qualifying expenditures are made and there is reasonable assurance that the credits will be realized. ITCs are accounted for using the cost reduction method, whereby they are netted against the related expenses or capital expenditures to which they relate.
Research inventory
Inventories consisting of materials that are used in future studies and clinical trials are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The amount of the write-down of inventories is included in research and development expense in the period the loss occurs, which is currently at the time the inventory is acquired.
Capital assets
Capital assets, excluding leasehold improvements, are recorded at cost and amortized on a declining balance basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:
| | |
Computer equipment | | 30% and 45% |
Office equipment and furniture | | 20% |
Laboratory equipment | | 20% |
Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease plus one renewal period.

Transition Therapeutics Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
(in Canadian dollars)
Intangible assets
Intangible assets consist of technology, patents and workforce. Intangible assets are recorded at cost and are being amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life, ranging from 5 to 15 years.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company assesses its capital and intangible assets for recoverability whenever indicators of impairment exist. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of an asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flow expected from the asset. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. As at June 30, 2007, management is of the view there have been no events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying value of capital and intangible assets were not recoverable.
Leases
Leases are classified as either capital or operating. Those leases which transfer substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership of property to the Company are accounted for as capital leases. The capitalized lease obligation, if any, reflects the present value of future lease payments, discounted at the appropriate interest rate, and is reduced by rental payments net of imputed interest. Assets under capital leases are amortized based on the useful life of the asset. All other leases are accounted for as operating with rental payments being expensed on a straight line basis over the life of the lease.
Income taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement carrying values and the respective tax bases of assets and liabilities, measured using substantively enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company establishes a valuation allowance against future income tax assets if, based on available information, it is more likely than not that some or all of the future income tax asset will not be realized.
Variable interest entities
Effective January 1, 2005, the Company adopted the recommendations of CICA Handbook Accounting Guideline 15 [AcG-15], “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after November 1, 2004. Variable interest entities [“VIEs”] refer to those entities that are subject to control on a basis other than ownership of voting interests. AcG-15 provides guidance for identifying VIEs and criteria for determining which entity, if any, should be consolidated.
The Company has analyzed its interests in entities which it does not wholly own and has determined that it has an interest in one VIE, Stem Cell Therapeutics Inc. (“SCT”). SCT is developing a series of regenerative therapies for the treatment of neurological diseases including stroke and Parkinson’s disease. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of SCT and therefore consolidation is not required. The nature of the Company’s involvement with SCT is further described in note 13.

Financial instruments
Financial instruments of the Company consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and amounts due to Elan. Financial instruments are initially recorded at historical cost.
The Company is exposed to market risks related to volatility in interest rates for the Company’s investment portfolio and foreign currency exchange rates related to purchases of supplies and services made in US dollars.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Emerging Issues Committee Abstract 141 — Revenue Recognition. When evaluating multiple element arrangements, the Company considers whether the components of the arrangement represent separate units of accounting as defined in Emerging Issues Committee Abstract 142 — Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. Application of this standard requires subjective determinations and requires management to make judgments about the fair value of the individual elements and whether such elements are separable from the other aspects of the contractual relationship.
The Company generally enters into two types of revenue producing arrangements with pharmaceutical companies: licensing arrangements and collaboration /co-development arrangements (“collaborations”).
Under a licensing arrangement the Company transfers the rights of a compound or series of compounds to a counterparty who directs the development, manufacture and commercialization of the product. The Company’s additional involvement is limited to involvement in a joint steering committee which the Company considers protective in nature. In return, the Company will generally receive an upfront fee, additional payments based on specifically defined developmental, regulatory, and commercial milestones, and a royalty based on a percentage of future sales of the product.
Under a collaboration arrangement the Company participates in the development by paying a fixed share of the development and commercialization costs in return for a fixed percentage of the product’s future profits. For contributing rights to the intellectual property the co-collaborator will pay the Company an upfront fee and additional payments based on specifically defined developmental and regulatory milestones. Collaboration agreements generally require the Company to participate in joint steering committees and to participate actively in the research and development of the product.
Licensing arrangements
The Company accounts for revenue from licensing arrangements using the milestone method. Revenue related to up-front payments received in licensing arrangements are deferred and amortized into income over the estimated term of the arrangement. Revenue from milestone payments is recognized when the milestone is achieved.

Collaboration arrangements
The Company accounts for collaboration arrangements using a proportional performance model. Under this method, revenue and earnings are recorded as related costs are incurred, on the basis of the proportion of actual costs incurred to date, related to the estimated total costs to be incurred under the arrangement. The cumulative impact of any revisions in cost and earnings estimates are reflected in the period in which the need for a revision becomes known. In the event that there are significant uncertainties with respect to the total costs to be incurred, the Company uses a zero profit model (i.e., revenue will be recognized equal to direct costs incurred, but not in excess of cash received or receivable) so long as the overall arrangement is determined to be profitable. In the event that the Company cannot determine if the overall arrangement will be profitable, all revenue associated with the arrangement is deferred until such time as the profitability determination can be made.
The Company uses an input based measure, specifically direct costs, to determine proportional performance because the Company believes that the inputs are representative of the value being conveyed through the research and development activities. The Company believes that using direct costs as the unit of measure of proportional performance also most closely reflects the level of effort related to the Company’s performance under the arrangement. Direct costs are those costs that directly result in the culmination of an earnings process for which the counterparty to the arrangement receives a direct benefit. The nature of these costs are third party and internal costs associated with conducting clinical trial activities, allocated payroll related costs for representatives participating on the joint steering committee and sales and marketing costs during the co-commercialization period. Direct costs specifically exclude costs that are of a general and administrative nature.
Amounts resulting from payments received in advance of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue in accordance with the zero profit proportional performance model described above until the earlier of (i) when the Company can meet the criteria for separate recognition of each element under the guidance of EIC 142; or (ii) after the Company has fulfilled all of its contractual obligations under the arrangement.
The Company is required to assess the profitability of the overall arrangement on a periodic basis throughout the life of the arrangement when events or circumstances indicate a potential change in facts. Profitability is defined as a net cash inflow resulting from the arrangement over its life. Such assessment is based on estimates to determine the most likely outcome based on available facts and circumstances at each assessment date. The estimates include the consideration of factors such as the progress and timing of clinical trials, competition in the market, the development progress of other potential competitive therapies, drug related serious adverse events and other safety issues in the clinical trials, pricing reimbursement in relevant markets and historical costs incurred compared to original estimates. When the periodic assessment or other events or circumstances indicate a loss will result from performance under the arrangement, the entire amount of the loss is charged against income in the period in which the determination is made.
Interest income
Interest income is recognized as earned.

Research and development
Research and development expenses include salaries, clinical trial costs, manufacturing and research inventory. Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs that meet specific criteria related to technical, market and financial feasibility are capitalized. To date, all of the development costs have been expensed.
Stock based compensation
In accordance with the CICA Handbook Section 3870, “Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments”, the Company expenses stock-based compensation awards for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2004.
The Company grants stock options to directors, officers, employees, members of the Scientific Advisory Board and consultants of the Company or of subsidiaries of the Company pursuant to the stock option plan described in note 16.
Compensation expense is recognized for stock options based on the fair value of the options at the grant date. The fair value of the options is recognized over the vesting period of the options as general and administrative or research and development expense, with the corresponding amount included in equity as stock options.
The fair value of stock options is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires the input of a number of assumptions, including expected dividend yield, expected stock price volatility, expected time until exercise and risk-free interest rates. Although the assumptions used reflect management’s best estimates, they involve inherent uncertainties based on conditions outside of the Company’s control. If other assumptions are used, stock-based compensation could be significantly impacted.
The stock option balance, included in shareholders’ equity is reduced as the options are exercised or when the options expire unexercised. If the stock options are exercised, the amount initially recorded for the options in stock options is credited to common shares, along with the proceeds received on the exercise. If the stock options expire unexercised, the amount initially recorded for the options in stock options is credited to contributed surplus.
Net loss per common share
Basic net loss per common share is determined by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Contingently returnable common shares are excluded when determining the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is determined in accordance with the treasury stock method and is based on the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the year. All options are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities are measured at historical rates. Revenue and expenses are measured at the average rate for the year. Resulting gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of loss and deficit.
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions undertaken in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at approximate exchange rates prevailing at the time the transactions occurred. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars at exchange rates in effect at the consolidated balance sheet dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of loss and deficit.
Recent Canadian accounting pronouncements:
In January 2006, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) released new Handbook Section 3855, Financial Instruments, Recognition and Measurement, effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after October 1, 2006. This new section establishes standards for the recognition and measurement of all financial instruments, provides a characteristics-based definition of a derivative financial instrument, and provides criteria to be used to determine when a financial instrument should be recognized and when a financial instrument is to be derecognized. The Company’s most significant financial instruments are its investments in cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company will classify its short-term investments as held to maturity which will not result in any significant changes to the balance sheet or accounting for finance income. The Company has not concluded as to how it will classify its cash equivalents and its assessment of whether there are any embedded derivatives.
In January 2006, the CICA released new Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive Income, and Section 3251, Equity, effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after October 1, 2006. Section 1530 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income. The section does not address issues of recognition or measurement for comprehensive income and its components. Section 3251 establishes standards for the presentation of equity and changes in equity during the reporting period. The requirements in Section 3251 are in addition to Section 1530. The Company has not yet assessed the impact the adoption of this new standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In January 2006, the CICA released new Handbook Section 3865, Hedges, effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after October 1, 2006. This new section establishes standards for when and how hedge accounting may be applied. Hedge accounting is optional. The Company does not enter into any hedges or owns any derivative accounting instruments. The adoption of this new accounting standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

4. ACQUISITION OF NEUROMEDIX INC.
On May 9, 2007, the Company completed a tender offer (the “Offer”) for the outstanding shares of NeuroMedix Inc. (“NeuroMedix”), a central nervous system (“CNS”) focused biotechnology company. NeuroMedix’s lead compound, Minozac, has the key characteristics for a CNS drug as it is a small molecule that is orally bioavailable and crosses the blood-brain-barrier. Minozac has been shown to prevent neuronal dysfunction in animal models of Alzheimer’s disease and traumatic brain injury. The Minozac compound is currently in pre-clinical development. Management can not reasonably determine when a product will be commercialized and generate revenue for the Company.
As of the completion of the Offer, a total of 29,850,000 NeuroMedix common shares were validly tendered and accepted for purchase, representing 94% of the outstanding shares of NeuroMedix. As the Offer was accepted by holders of more than 90% of the common shares of NeuroMedix not held by Transition or its affiliates, the Company exercised its right under the compulsory acquisition provisions of section 206 of the Canada Business Corporations Act and acquired the remaining outstanding common shares of NeuroMedix not owned by Transition. Following the completion of the compulsory acquisition on June 1, 2007, NeuroMedix became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Transition. The NeuroMedix common shares were delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange effective May 15, 2007. Transition issued a total of 685,951 common shares as consideration for 100% of the NeuroMedix common shares received. In connection with the acquisition, Transition also acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of NeuroMedix US Inc.
The acquisition of NeuroMedix has been accounted for as an acquisition of assets because NeuroMedix does not meet the definition of a business under Emerging Issues Committee Abstract 124. Total consideration was determined by the listed share price of the Company on the date the shares were issued plus the related acquisition costs, and was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values on the date of acquisition, as follows:

5. GLOBAL COLLABORATION AGREEMENT WITH ELAN PHARMA INTERNATIONAL LIMITED
On September 25, 2006, Elan Pharma International Limited (Elan) and the Company entered into an exclusive, worldwide collaboration agreement for the joint development and commercialization of the Company’s novel therapeutic agent, ELND-005/AZD-103, for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will receive upfront payments of US$15 million: US$7.5 million in calendar 2006 and the remaining US$7.5 million in calendar 2007. In addition, dependent upon the successful development, regulatory approval and commercialization of ELND-005/AZD-103, the Company will be eligible to receive milestone payments of up to US$185 million. Elan and the Company will share the costs and operating profits of ELND-005/AZD-103 if successfully developed and commercialized. Each party’s cost share and ownership interest may vary throughout the term of the agreement dependent on certain elections that may be made during the development of ELND-005/AZD-103. Under the terms of the agreement the Company can elect to convert the co-development collaboration to a licensing arrangement. If converted, the Company would no longer share in the development costs and operating profits but would receive reduced developmental and commercial milestones and royalties on worldwide aggregate net sales.
Under the terms of the agreement, ELND-005/AZD-103 inventory on hand as of August 4, 2006 and development costs incurred by the Company subsequent to that were reimbursed by Elan in accordance with their cost sharing percentage. Elan has reimbursed the Company an amount exceeding their share of the costs incurred, corresponding to an account payable to Elan in the amount of $697,743 at June 30, 2007.
During the three-month period ended December 31, 2006, the Company received the first upfront payment of $8,420,250 (US$7,500,000) from Elan which has been recorded as deferred revenue and advances and will be recognized as income on a systematic basis once the profitability of the collaboration arrangement can be reasonably estimated.
6. ACQUISITION OF ELLIPSIS NEUROTHERAPEUTICS INC. [“ENI”]
Under the terms of the initial ENI agreement (“Initial Agreement”) dated November 4, 2004, the Company acquired a 17% interest in ENI with the potential to increase this interest to approximately 52% through a share exchange at the option of certain ENI shareholders and consideration for the Company’s management services.
Under the terms of the Initial Agreement, the Company received 2,400,000 ENI common shares, in exchange for i) 98,328 common shares of the Company “the Acquired Shares”, ii) $1,000,000 in cash and iii) 4,000,000 Exchange Rights (the “Exchange Rights”). Each Exchange Right allowed the holder to convert one ENI common share into 0.0918 common shares of the Company, until February 4, 2006.

Transition Therapeutics Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

With respect to the Acquired Shares, if at the second anniversary of the agreement, the aggregate of the total proceeds from any sale of the Acquired Shares and the fair market value of the Acquired Shares retained (at that time) by ENI is less than $1,000,000, then the Company will compensate ENI for any deficiency. As a result of this obligation (the “Guaranteed Share Obligation”), the Company assigned a nominal value to the shares issued and recorded a liability, net of the Company’s interest.
In addition, under the terms of the Services Agreement (“Services Agreement”) through leading the development of the ENI products, the Company had the potential to earn up to 1,600,000 ENI common shares over the 24-month period ending November 4, 2006, through the achievement of milestones. The fair value of any ENI common shares earned was recorded as revenue at the time the milestone was achieved. During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, Transition increased its interest in ENI to 18.5% as the Company met the first milestone and earned 100,000 ENI common shares. During the second quarter of fiscal 2006 the Company met the second milestone and earned an additional 200,000 common shares and also purchased an additional 346,420 common shares, increasing the Company’s interest to 22.2%.
On January 27, 2006, 1,500,000 Exchange Rights were exercised, resulting in the Company issuing 137,733 Transition common shares in exchange for 1,500,000 common shares of ENI. The common shares issued had a fair value of $863,937 plus the value of the Exchange Rights exercised of $145,500 for a total of $1,009,437. This transaction increased the Company’s ownership in ENI to 33.2%. The remaining 2,500,000 Exchange Rights expired unexercised on February 4, 2006.
On March 10, 2006, the Company completed the step acquisition of ENI for share consideration of 2,109,479 Transition common shares, contingent clinical milestones potentially totaling $12.8 million payable in Transition common shares at the then market price and a royalty of up to 1% on net sales of AZD-103 product. The common shares issued are subject to a resale restriction period ranging from 4 to 12 months from the date of issue. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the common shares issued have been discounted resulting in a fair value of approximately $5.13 per share. The key asset in the acquisition is the Alzheimer’s disease compound AZD-103, a disease modifying agent with the potential to both prevent and reduce disease progression and improve symptoms such as cognitive function. In connection with the acquisition, Transition also acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of 1255205 Ontario Inc. and 1255206 Ontario Inc.
The acquisition was accounted for as a step acquisition. The Company recognized its equity interest in the results of ENI from November 4, 2004 until March 10, 2006. The assets, liabilities and expenses of ENI have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company commencing March 11, 2006.

7. ACQUISITION OF ASSETS FROM PROTANA INC.
Effective November 1, 2005, the Company purchased certain assets of Protana Inc. (“Protana”), a private company.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has purchased assets of Protana in exchange for approximately $3.1 million cash, assumption of approximately $3.0 million long-term debt [US $2,543,372], and 222,222 common shares valued at $1.18 million. The common shares issued were subject to a resale restriction period ranging from 6 to 10 months from the date of issue. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the common shares issued were discounted resulting in a fair value of approximately $5.31 per share.
Total consideration for the purchased assets of Protana, including acquisition costs, has been allocated to the estimated fair values on the date of acquisition as follows:

12. DEFERRED REVENUE AND ADVANCES
On July 17, 2006, the Company and Novo Nordisk amended the I.N.T.™ license agreement dated August 23, 2004 to restate the rights and responsibilities of the parties. Novo Nordisk retains exclusive, worldwide rights to the E1-I.N.T. ™ program and the Company regains exclusive ownership and rights to all other I.N.T.™ programs, including GLP1-I.N.T.™. Novo Nordisk has in association with the execution of the amendment, paid the Company $552,650 [US$500,000] for the achievement of the first developmental milestone, which has been recognized as milestone revenue in the three-month period ended September 30, 2006. Additionally, the Company has received from Novo Nordisk $570,300 [US$500,000] in research and development funding in calendar 2006, of which the final payment of $279,050 [US$250,000] was received during the three-month period ended September 30, 2006.
The other financial terms of the amended agreement remain the same, where the Company will receive future E1-I.N.T.™ developmental milestone payments potentially totalling US$46 million plus commercial milestones and royalties on sales of E1-I.N.T.™ products.
The Company is currently advancing the clinical development of E1-I.N.T.™ for type I and type II diabetes. Novo Nordisk is in receipt of the final data from the exploratory Phase IIa clinical trials, and subsequent to their review of the data, Novo Nordisk shall decide whether to finalize development and commercialization of E1-I.N.T.™. Following such a decision the Company will be entitled to additional milestone payments and reimbursement of all E1-I.N.T.™ clinical development costs since August 2004.
To date, under the Licensing Agreement, the Company received $1,968,580 [US$1,500,000] in up-front payments that have been recorded as deferred revenue and are being recorded as licensing fee revenue over the term of the Licensing Agreement, which has been estimated as 15 years. Licensing fee revenue of $131,244 was recognized during the year ended June 30, 2007 [2006 — $131,244]. The Company expects to recognize licensing fee revenue of $131,244 in the next fiscal year and accordingly, this amount has been disclosed as current portion of deferred revenue and advances.
In addition, the Company has received $1,191,025 [US$1,000,000] from Novo Nordisk in research and development funding as of June 30, 2007. Under the terms of the initial agreement, $385,671 [US$317,130] was spent on a joint research project in fiscals 2005 and 2006. As a result of the July 17, 2006 amendment to the
15
Transition Therapeutics Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
(in Canadian dollars)
Agreement, the Company has applied the remaining $805,354 [US$682,870] against patent costs incurred prior to the date of amendment and research and development costs.
Effective September 13, 2006, the Company and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (“JDRF”) entered into an agreement in which the JDRF will provide funding to assist in the development of GLP1-I.N.T.TMover a two year period. The JDRF will contribute funding payments of up to US$4 million. During the year the Company received a funding payment of $564,800 [US$500,000] which was applied against GLP1-I.N.T.TMdevelopment costs.
13. NET ASSETS TRANSFERRED UNDER CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENT
On October 4, 2004, the Company signed a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) to sell one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SCT, whose only significant asset is technology. SCT is developing a series of regenerative therapies for the treatment of neurological diseases including stroke and Parkinson’s disease. The Agreement includes an upfront cash payment of $325,000, anniversary payments totaling $3.175 million that may be settled in either cash or shares at the option of the purchaser, and royalties on sales and other income.
This transaction was not recorded as a sale for accounting purposes as the risks and rewards of the ownership of SCT did not transfer to the purchaser under the terms of the Agreement. Therefore, the Company classified the assets and liabilities of SCT as assets transferred under a contractual arrangement. Using the cost recovery method, the carrying value of the assets transferred under contractual arrangement have been reduced by [i] proceeds upon receipt, [ii] losses of SCT and [iii] amortization of the technology, resulting in a carrying value at June 30, 2007 of Nil [2006 – NIL].
During the three month period ending September 30, 2006, the Company received the second anniversary payment of $400,000 in cash which has been recorded as a gain in the statement of loss. As of June 30, 2007, total payments received amount to $1,200,000.
14. LONG TERM DEBT
In conjunction with the Protana asset purchase, the Company entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with Oxford Finance Corporation (“Oxford”) and assumed the full amount of Protana’s indebtedness to Oxford in the amount of US$2,543,372 as at November 1, 2005.
The full amount of the indebtedness was secured by certain assets purchased from Protana. The Company was authorized to sell these assets and the full proceeds from the sale was applied against the outstanding principal balance of the loan, in the form of a Disposition Payment.
Changes in the loan balance from the date of acquisition are as follows:

[iv] | | The weighted average number of common shares used in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the year ended June 30, 2007 is 19,444,398 [2006 – 15,007,104]. The outstanding options to purchase common shares of 605,883 [2006 – 470,893] are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the effect is anti-dilutive. |
|
| | For the year ended June 30, 2007, 79,908 [2006 – 79,908] contingently returnable common shares were excluded from the basic and diluted net loss per common share calculation. The contingently returnable common shares relate to employment contracts and will be released from escrow based on the achievement of certain corporate milestones. |
|
[v] | | On July 9, 2007 the Company announced the completion of the consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation common share for every nine (9) pre-consolidation common shares. The Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) approved the consolidation and the common shares of the Company commenced trading on the TSX on a post-consolidated basis at the opening of trading on Monday, July 9, 2007. The share consolidation has been effected to satisfy the NASDAQ’s listing criteria regarding minimum bid price. This share consolidation was approved by Transition’s shareholders at the Company’s Annual and Special Meeting held in December 2006. The share consolidation affects all of the Company’s common shares and stock options outstanding at the effective time. Fractional shares were not issued and each shareholder’s aggregated fraction was paid out in cash on the basis of a fraction of $15.75. As a result of this consolidation, the number of common shares, warrants and options, related exercise prices and basic and diluted loss per share have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the consolidation. |

16. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
The Company’s stock option plan is designed to attract and retain key individuals and recognize individual and overall corporate performance. In terms of performance, the Company’s policy is to establish annual goals with respect to business strategy and the individual’s area of direct responsibility. The Company grants options to its employees at the time when they join the organization and then subsequent grants are issued at the discretion of the Board. Grants issued are based on the level of the position that the employee is hired for and their overall experience and subsequent grants are based on the level of position, the Company’s performance, and the employee’s performance. Stock option grants are approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors take into account the amount and the terms of outstanding options when determining whether and how many new option grants will be made.
Options granted to employees generally vest monthly or annually over a 3 to 4 year period, provided that the employee is employed by the Company for 6 months. The exercise price of the options is equal to the greater of (1) the closing price the day prior to the grant; (2) the weighted average trading price for five trading days prior to grant; and (3) the price determined by the Board of Directors at the time of the grant. All grants expire 5 years after the grant date or generally terminate 3 to 6 months after the employee leaves the Company depending on the circumstances of their departure.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected volatilities have been computed based on trailing 4 year historical share price trading data of week ending closing prices. The risk-free rate is based on the average of 3 year and 5 year Government of Canada marketable bond rates in effect at the time of the grants.
In November 1999, the Company established a Stock Option Plan [the “Plan”] for the directors, officers, employees, members of the Scientific Advisory Board and consultants of the Company or of subsidiaries of the Company in order to secure for the Company and its shareholders the benefit of an incentive interest in share ownership by participants under the Plan. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors of the Company.

In December, 2005, the shareholders voted to amend the stock option plan of the Company to change the maximum number of common shares available for issuance under the stock option plan from a fixed number to a rolling number equal to 10% of the then issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, from time to time.
All stock options granted under the Plan must be exercised within a maximum period of five years following the grant date thereof. The maximum number of common shares that may be issued pursuant to stock options granted under the Plan shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares. The maximum number of common shares that may be issued to any individual pursuant to stock options granted under the Plan will not exceed 5% of the outstanding common shares and the total number of common shares that may be issued to consultants pursuant to stock options granted under the Plan will not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding common shares in any twelve month period. The vesting period is determined at the time of each option grant but must not exceed five years.
The options acquired through the acquisition of Waratah are governed by the terms of the Waratah option plan which has the same terms and vesting as the Plan.

[c] | | The following commitments are associated with Waratah: |
| | | [i]General Hospital Corporation: |
| | | The Company owns 50% of certain patent rights issued in connection with the I.N.T.TM technology for the treatment of juvenile diabetes and has a license agreement with GHC whereby GHC assigned the Company an exclusive worldwide license for the remaining 50% of the aforementioned patent rights. Under the license agreement, the Company is committed to making royalty payments of 1.5% on the net sales of any product commercialized based on this technology. This royalty rate can be reduced to 0.75% by the Company through the payment of buy-back options ranging from US$250,000 to US$1.25 million depending on the stage of the development of the I.N.T.TM product at the time of the buy-back.

In addition, the Company is committed to make payments ranging from 5%-10% of non-royalty sublicense fees and milestone payments received by the Company from Novo Nordisk as described in note 12 or any other sublicensee. The agreement remains in force until the expiration of the last to expire patent. |
| | | [ii]Research Corporation Technologies: |

| | | [iii] London Health Sciences Center Research Inc. (“LHSCRI”): |
| | | As disclosed in note 20[g], the Company issued to LHSCRI 414,492 Transition common shares having a value of $286,000.

| | | times total funding provided by the JDRF, less any amounts paid to the JDRF from license fees or milestone payments, paid over a five year period following regulatory approval. If five years following regulatory approval, the aggregate net sales of the Company’s Gastrin+GLP-1 product (and/or Gastrin+DPP-4 inhibitor product) are greater than US$1 billion or US$2 billion, then the JDRF can receive additional consideration equal to one time or two times the amount of funding provided by the JDRF, respectively. Assuming the maximum JDRF funding contribution of US$4 million and aggregate sales in excess of US$2 billion prior to the fifth anniversary of the approval of a licensed product, the maximum payable to the JDRF under the agreement is US$20million. |
| | [d] The following commitment is associated with ENI [note 6]: |
| | | [i] ELND-005/AZD-103 Technology License: |

For therapeutic products, a royalty of 2.5% will be due on the first $100,000,000 of revenues received by the Company and 1.5% of revenues thereafter. For diagnostic products, a royalty of 10% will be due on the first $100,000,000 of revenues received by the Company and 7% of revenues thereafter. Also, the inventor may receive up to $25,000 for additional patent applications under this license. The agreement remains in force until the expiration of the last to expire patent. |

(d) | | Comprehensive income: |
|
| | Under U.S. GAAP, Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, requires that companies report comprehensive income as a measure of overall performance. Comprehensive income includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Under Canadian GAAP, the Company is not required to report comprehensive income until its year-ending June 30, 2008. The Company had accumulated other comprehensive income for U.S. GAAP of Nil as at June 30, 2007 and 2006. |
(e) | | Short-term investments: |
|
| | SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, requires management to determine the appropriate classification of investments in debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluate such designation as of each balance sheet date. The Company has determined that debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity securities, which are to be carried at amortized cost. As at June 30, 2007 and 2006, there is no material difference in accounting for short-term investments under U.S. GAAP. |
(f) | | Research inventory: |
|
| | In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 the Company adopted CICA Handbook Section 3031 - Inventories for Canadian GAAP, as described in note 2. The Company now writes down inventory immediately after purchase to the net realizable value. Under U.S. GAAP the cost of such research inventory with no alternative use must be expensed as inventory is purchased. This difference in accounting policy had no impact on the reconciliation for the statement of loss for the year ended June 30, 2007. |

(g) | | Intangible assets acquired from others for use in research and development: |
|
| | Under U.S. GAAP, any of the Company’s acquired technologies which require regulatory approval to be commercialized and which have no proven alternative future uses are considered in-process research and development and are immediately expensed upon acquisition in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 2, Accounting for Research and Development Costs. Under Canadian GAAP, the acquired technologies, patents and licenses are considered to be intangible assets which are capitalized and amortized over their expected useful lives. |
|
| | In fiscal 2007, the Company acquired (i) the exclusive rights to intellectual property relating to the Optimol drug discovery technology acquired from Protana in 2006, (ii) made a payment to reduce the future royalties paid to the General Hospital Corporation relating to the I.N.T.TM technology and (iii) also acquired the shares of NeuroMedix Inc. as discussed in note (h) below. |
|
| | The exclusive rights to intellectual property relating to the Optimol drug discovery technology have been capitalized under U.S. GAAP, consistent with the accounting treatment adopted when the technology was originally acquired in fiscal 2006. The pre-payment on future royalties paid to the General Hospital Corporation are considered to be in-process research and development and accordingly, have been expensed under U.S. GAAP. |
|
| | In fiscal 2006, the Company acquired certain assets of Protana, a patent portfolio from London Health Sciences Centre Research Inc., and the shares of ENI through a series of step acquisitions, as discussed in note (i) below. |
|
| | The Protana assets acquired include $4,082,909 of technology and $329,685 of patents for therapeutic compounds. The technology is a patented process which the Company will utilize to identify potential new lead molecule candidates for further research and development. Consequently, capitalization is appropriate under U.S. GAAP for this technology component. The patents for therapeutic compounds, however, do not have an alternative future use and have been expensed as in-process research and development under U.S. GAAP. |
|
| | The patents acquired from London Health Sciences Centre Research of $286,000 are considered in-process research and development under U.S. GAAP and have therefore been expensed. |

(h) | | Acquisition of NeuroMedix Inc. (“NMX”): |
|
| | On May 9, 2007, the Company completed a tender offer (the “Offer”) for the outstanding shares of NeuroMedix Inc. (“NeuroMedix”), as described in note 4 of the financial statements. |
|
| | As part of the transaction, the Company acquired intangible assets of $11,085,259 which was capitalized under Canadian GAAP. Management has determined that this intangible asset does not have an alternative future use and accordingly, the technology has been expensed as in-process research and development under U.S. GAAP. The future income tax assets and liabilities recognized under Canadian GAAP for this transaction have not been recognized under U.S. GAAP. The allocation of the purchase price has not been finalized pending a third party valuation of the intangible assets. |
(i) | | Acquisition of Ellipsis Neurotherapeutics Inc. (“ENI”): |
|
| | Under the terms of the initial ENI agreement on November 4, 2004 the Company issued 98,328 common shares as part of its consideration to acquire a 17.9% interest in ENI. If at the second anniversary of this agreement, the aggregate of the total proceeds from the sale of these shares and the fair market value of these shares retained by ENI is less than $1,000,000 then the Company will compensate ENI for any deficiency. Under Canadian GAAP, this share value guarantee was accounted for as a liability. Under U.S. GAAP, the liability has been valued at $144,396 on the basis of an option pricing model. The value of the common shares issued was recorded at $676,504 on acquisition. Under U.S. GAAP the $676,504 has been classified as part of equity and the guarantee component has been revalued at June 30, 2005 at $268,790 thus resulting in a loss of $124,394 on revaluation of the guarantee. |
|
| | ENI has been recorded as an equity accounted for investment under Canadian GAAP from the date of initial acquisition to March 10, 2006 when the remaining shares of ENI were acquired. An equity loss in ENI has been recorded for the years ended June 30, 2006. U.S. GAAP would similarly record an equity loss in ENI, however, the loss recorded would include adjustments such as the expensing of intangibles and inventory which are both considered in-process research and development, and the related impact on the future tax assets and liabilities which were recorded under Canadian GAAP. |
|
| | At March 10, 2006, as part of the Company’s purchase of the remaining 66.8% interest in ENI, technology which was capitalized under Canadian GAAP has been expensed as in-process research and development in the period |

(in Canadian dollars)
| | of acquisition. Research inventory of $1,183,975 acquired as a part of this transaction has been expensed as a part of |
|
| | adjustment (f). The 98,328 common shares originally held by ENI were cancelled and recorded as a reduction in common shares of $559,475. |
|
| | The intangibles acquired pertain to patents related to ENI’s ELND-005/AZD-103 therapeutic agent. ELND-005/AZD-103 is in the early stages of development and will require significant additional expenditures of effort, monies, and time to develop the product to the commercialization end stage. Accordingly, under U.S. GAAP, $8,412,775 of acquired intangibles have been expensed at March 10, 2006. |
|
| | In addition, $524,345 has been expensed as in-process research and development during 2006 when ENI was still an equity accounted for investee. This represents the incremental ownership percentage in ENI that was acquired by the Company during 2006. Therefore, a total of $8,937,120 of intangibles acquired in respect of ENI have been expensed as in-process research and development. |
(j) | | Gain on transfer of the ownership interest of Stem Cell Therapeutics Corporation (“SCT”): |
|
| | The transfer of the ownership interest of SCT, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, included the disposition of in-process research and development that was capitalized under Canadian GAAP. For U.S. GAAP purposes, in-process research and development is expensed in the period of acquisition. Therefore, the net carrying value of the assets transferred under a contractual arrangement is reduced by $1,989,607 on the date of the transaction. A gain on disposal of SCT in the amount of $475,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006 and reversal of equity losses recorded by the Company for SCT subsequent to the transfer in the amount of $618,922 for the year ended June 30, 2006 has been recognized and recorded under U.S. GAAP, as proceeds received exceeded the net carrying value. During fiscal 2007 the Company received a payment of $400,000 from SCT which has been recorded as a gain on disposal for both Canadian and U.S. GAAP. |
(k) | | Stock-based compensation: |
|
| | Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value-based method of accounting for stock options granted to employees and directors as required by FASB Statement No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. In accordance with one of the transitional options permitted under this provision, the Company elected to apply the modified prospective application method and, accordingly, has applied the fair value-based method to all employee stock options issued on or after July 1, 2006. Additionally, compensation cost for awards granted in prior periods for |

| | which the requisite service has not been rendered as of July 1, 2006 will be recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and deficit as the requisite service is rendered. |
| | Under Canadian GAAP, the Company has applied the fair value method to stock options issued or modified from its 2004 fiscal year. |
|
| | Under Canadian GAAP the Company has adopted a policy of recognizing forfeitures as they occur. Under U.S. GAAP forfeitures must be estimated in advance. The impact of estimating forfeitures in advance resulted in a $59,593 net reduction in compensation expense compared to Canadian GAAP. |
(l) | | Income taxes: |
|
| | Canadian GAAP requires that future income taxes be calculated using enacted income tax rates or, where they exist, substantively enacted income tax rates. U.S. GAAP does not permit the use of substantively enacted rates. For the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, no differences were identified between substantively enacted rates and enacted rates. Therefore no adjustment is required for U.S. GAAP purposes. |
|
| | Under U.S. GAAP, certain intangible assets acquired are considered to be in-process research and development and have been expensed whereas these intangible assets are capitalized and amortized under Canadian GAAP. On acquisition of certain intangibles, the Company recorded future tax liabilities under Canadian GAAP; however, future tax liabilities would not be recorded for these intangibles under U.S. GAAP. This difference results in an additional future tax asset under U.S. GAAP. Due to uncertainties as to the realization of the Company’s net future tax assets, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance under both Canadian and U.S. GAAP to reduce net future tax assets to Nil. Under Canadian GAAP, as the Company amortized its intangible assets, the future tax liabilities were reversed resulting in a recognition of a recovery of future income taxes in the statements of loss. The recovery of future income taxes recorded under Canadian GAAP has been reversed for U.S. GAAP purposes. |

(n) | | Recent U.S. accounting pronouncements: |
|
| | In June 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (“SFAS 154”), a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes (“Opinion 20”) and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. The Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. SFAS 154 requires that a change in method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as change in accounting estimate that is affected by a change in accounting principle. Opinion 20 previously required that such a change be reported as a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new standard will have an impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. |
|
| | In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition requirements. The new statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has not yet assessed the impact the adoption of this new standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. |
|
| | The Emerging Issues Task Force issued draft abstract: Issue 07-3, Accounting for Non-refundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities, on April 3, 2007. The draft abstract may impact the treatment of non-refundable advance payments for goods or services that will |

| | be used or rendered for research and development activities. The draft abstract is expected to be effective for years beginning on or after December 15, 2007. The Company has not yet assessed the impact the adoption of this new abstract is expected to have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. |
|
| | In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. |
| | The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |
| | On June 19, 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued draft abstract: Issue 07-1, Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements Related to the Development and Commercialization of Intellectual Property. The draft abstract may impact the presentation or revenues and costs generated in a collaborative arrangement. The Task Force is expected to discuss this issue further at a future meeting. Management will assess the impact of the abstract when the Committee reaches a consensus. |
