Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
As of and For the Periods Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
The unaudited interim financial statements of Fidia Advanced Biopolymers S.r.l. (“FAB” or the “Company”) are prepared in accordance with current statutory legislation.
The accounting policies are consistent with the Italian Civil Code related to financial statements interpreted and integrated by the accounting principles established or adopted by the Italian Accounting Profession (collectively, “Italian Accounting Principles”), and in particular with reference to OIC 30 on preparation of unaudited interim financial statements.
Italian Accounting Principles differs in certain material respects from the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The effects of these differences on quotaholders’ equity as of September 30, 2009 and 2008 and on the net loss for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively are set forth in note 16.
The financial statements and related notes are presented in a reclassified format, which differs from FAB’s financial statements and disclosures which are prepared in accordance with Italian legal requirements. The format presented does not result in any modification of the portions attributable to FAB quotaholders’ equity and net loss as reported on an Italian Accounting Principles basis. All amounts are in thousands of Euro (or “€”), unless otherwise specified.
The quotas of FAB are fully owned by Fidia Farmaceutici S.p.A..
The Company's current liabilities exceed current assets and prepared its financial statements in accordance with the general principles of prudence and accruals-based accounting on a going concern basis. The parent company, Fidia Farmaceutici S.p.A., is committed to financially supporting the Company to ensure that it can continue as a going concern. Refer to note 10 for further information on such issue.

As of and For the Periods Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
NOTE 2—ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied by FAB according to Italian Accounting Principles, consistently with prior period, are as follows:
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash is stated at nominal value.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND PAYABLE
Receivables are stated at estimated realizable value through the specific provision for bad debts. Identifiable individual risks are accounted for through appropriate individual valuation adjustments, and general credit risks through general valuation adjustments of receivables. The Company generally does not require collateral for receivables subject to credit risk. Low-interest and non-interest bearing items with more than one year to maturity are not discounted. Payables are stated at nominal value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies have been recorded at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction; profit and losses on exchanges rates are booked in the statement of operations on the day of collection or payment.
INVENTORIES
Inventory is stated at the average purchase or production cost. The cost of raw materials and finished goods is calculated using the weighted average cost method. The purchase cost of materials includes not only their price, but also other costs directly related to the purchase. The cost of finished goods and semi-finished products includes the cost of purchasing the materials as well as production cost, which mainly comprises labour, depreciation and other indirect production costs. Inventory is stated at market value through the provision for write-downs of inventory where necessary.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
As of and For the Periods Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, Plant and Equipment are entered at purchase or construction cost, including any directly attributable charges. No voluntary re-valuations were performed and no interest expenses have been capitalized on the Property, Plant and Equipment.
Depreciation reflects the estimated useful life of the asset. The depreciation rates, which are the same as for the prior financial period, are as follow:
| Rates | |
Property: | | |
Light constructions | 10% | |
Generic plant | 10% | |
Plant and machinery for slightly corrosive materials | 12% | |
| | |
Equipment: | | |
Sundry, small and laboratory equipment | 40% | |
Ordinary office machines and furniture | 12% | |
Electronic office machines and computers | 20% | |
Cars, motor vehicles and similar | 25% | |
Also depreciation was calculated for assets entering into service during the financial period on the basis of the effective date the assets have been placed into use. Construction in progress is not depreciated.
The maintenance and repair costs are capitalized on the Property, Plant and Equipment only if they generate an effective increase in the useful life or operating functionality of the assets otherwise they are expensed to the statement of operations as incurred.
Capital leases are included in property, plant and equipment if it is reasonably expected that upon expiry of the agreement the asset will be purchased. In these cases, an offsetting debt is included in the financial statements. The asset and the corresponding debt are stated at present value, which cannot exceed the related fair value. Capital leases are depreciated based on the same methodology as the assets above.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
As of and For the Periods Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
INTANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
Intangible fixed assets are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight line basis over the period of expected future benefit. The Company applies the following amortization rates:
- licenses, industrial patents and rights to use intellectual property – 33%;
- trademarks – 6%.
Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight line basis over the period of renting.
WRITE-DOWN OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for any permanent impairment in value when appropriate. Long-lived assets (property, plant and equipment, intangible fixed assets, including goodwill, and equity investments) are written-down when there is a permanent impairment. The lower value is not maintained in subsequent financial statements if the underlying assumptions which gave rise to impairment are no longer applicable. A write-down is recognized when the recoverable value of an asset is below its net book value and, in accordance with Article 2426, paragraph 1, item 3 of the Italian Civil Code, the amount of the write-down is the difference between the recoverable value and the net book value. No impairment has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
EMPLOYEE TERMINATION INDEMNITIES
Employee termination indemnities are determined in accordance with the relevant current laws. The amount of employee termination indemnities shown in other liabilities within the balance sheets reflects the total amount of the indemnities, net of any advances taken, that each employee of the Italian companies would be entitled to receive if termination were to occur as of the respective balance sheet dates.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
As of and For the Periods Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
PROVISIONS FOR RISKS AND CHARGES
Provisions for risks and charges are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. This provision also includes the item "agents retirement and equivalent obligations", an accrual for the indemnities due to sales agents upon termination, wherein provisions are set aside in case the Company should be required to pay the agent. These accruals are estimated based on the value of the sales generated by each agent.
RECOGNITION OF REVENUES AND EXPENSES
Revenues and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.
Revenues are recorded in the statement of operations when title of ownership passes to the customer, which is generally at the point of shipment for foreign customers and at the time the goods are delivered for Italian customers. Expenses are also recognized on an accrual basis, with amounts recognized in the statement of operations based on when the goods and or services are received, regardless of payment terms in advance or after the receipt of the goods or services.
GRANTS RELATED TO INCOME
Grants related to income are taken to the profit and loss account when the Company becomes reasonably certain that it will receive them under specific contractual agreements with the granting body.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
As of and For the Periods Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
INCOME TAXES
Current income taxes are computed on the basis of the estimated income tax charge according to the tax laws in force in Italy; the related income tax payable is shown net of payments on account, withholding taxes and tax credits in “Taxes payable”. Any net receivable position is shown in “Other current assets”.
The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities that are determined under the liability method. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effect of temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates, and the expected future benefit of net operating loss carry-forward. The tax benefit of tax loss carry-forwards is recorded only when there is a reasonable certainty of realization.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset whenever allowed by local Italian tax laws.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Italian Accounting Principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses recognized during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

These grants are recognized when the Company becomes reasonably certain of its right to receive them. Subsequent collection depends on the timing of the reporting of the related costs to the granting body for their approval. Based on historical experience, these reports are settled depending on the tests and inspections conducted by the relevant authorities.

NOTE 16 — RECONCILIATION TO GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
The Company's accounting policies for financial reporting in accordance with Italian Accounting Principles differ in certain material respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP"). Significant differences, which have an effect on Net (Loss) and Quotaholders' Equity, are described below:
(A) Accounting for intangible assets – R&D costs – The Company acquired, on a regular basis and according with an agreement dated April 4, 1999, the results of R&D activities performed by the Consortium Tissue Tech, an associate company. In its financial statements these R&D costs have been capitalized and classified as assets under development when acquired and as industrial patents and similar rights when completed.
Under SFAS 2 “Accounting for Research and Development Costs” all research and development costs shall be charged to expense when incurred. The following reconciliation includes the decrease in net equity and the effect on profit and loss as a consequence of the accounting treatment under US GAAP. For the tax effect related to this reconciliation item refer to letter (E) below.
(B) Accounting for intangible assets – IPR&D – In 2004 FAB included an amount of € 315 into assets under development in connection with costs (third part consultancy and internal personnel costs) for participating in the "STEPS Project" (A System Approach to Tissue Engineering Products and Processes). Under SFAS 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and APB Opinion No. 17, costs of internally developing intangible assets that are not specifically identifiable, that have indeterminate lives, or that are inherent in a continuing bu siness shall be recognized as an expense when incurred. The following reconciliation includes the decrease in net equity as a consequence of the accounting treatment under US GAAP. For the tax effect related to this reconciliation item refer to letter (E) below.

As of and For the Periods Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
(C) Accounting for license fee – On January 10, 2007, the Company entered into a license agreement with TiGenix NV, a late-stage biomedical company incorporated in Belgium. Pursuant to such agreement FAB granted to TiGenix NV an exclusive license to sell a combination product utilizing one of FAB’s products for a period of twenty years. The agreement provided for a license fee of €500 in favor of the Company at the signing of the agreement. Such amount has been cashed by the Company on February 9, 2007.
Under SAB No.104, Topic 13, Revenue Recognition (SAB Topic 13A1), license fee revenue should be recognized in a manner consistent with the nature of the transaction and the earning process.
Since FAB recognized the entire amount of the license fee in its profit and loss account for 2007, the following reconciliation includes the increase of the loss relating to the deferral of such revenue by recognizing systematically over the period of the agreement. For the tax effect related to this reconciliation item refer to letter (E) below.
(D) Deferred Income taxes effects of item A, B and C above – In the accompanying reconciliation the US GAAP adjustments under the letters A, B and C above give rise to additional temporary differences between the tax basis of certain items and their reporting basis for US GAAP. However, under SFAS 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" deferred tax assets are only recognized if it is determined that is it more likely than not that they will be realized. Accordingly, no deferred tax effect has been included in the accompanying reconciliation in respect of the above adjustments.
