Nature of Operations |
Vidara Therapeutics International plc, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Vidara Therapeutics Ltd., AGI Therapeutics Ltd., Aravid Ltd. and Vidara Therapeutics Research Ltd. (collectively, “Vidara International”) and Vidara Therapeutics Inc. (collectively, the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the treatment of patients with serious, difficult-to-treat inherited disorders and rare diseases. Currently, the Company’s only commercial product and source of revenue is ACTIMMUNE (interferon gamma-1b), an injectable biologic drug prescribed for the management of two rare disorders, chronic granulomatous disease (“CGD”) and severe, malignant osteopetrosis (“SMO”).

Principles of Combination |
The combined financial statements include the accounts of Vidara International and Vidara Therapeutics Inc., which are related through common ownership and management. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in combination. Vidara International and Vidara Therapeutics Inc. are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Vidara Therapeutics Holdings, LLC (“Parent”). |
Basis of Presentation |
The unaudited combined financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The December 31, 2013 combined balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. For further information, refer to the combined financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2013 that were included in Vidara Therapeutics International’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (No. 333-197052), as amended. |
Significant Accounting Policies |
The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 that were included in Vidara Therapeutics International’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (No. 333-197052), as amended. Since the date of those combined financial statements, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies. |
Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 financial statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, asset lives used to calculate depreciation and amortization, intangibles and other long-lived asset lives, assumptions and inputs for fair value measurements, reserves for sales discounts and allowances for returns, rebates and chargebacks and in the accounting for income taxes. |
Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
