Item 2 – Details of Acquisition

 

2.1 Nature of Business Acquired

On October 21, 2015 the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of 100% of the outstanding shares of Amdipharm Mercury Limited (“AMCo”) from Cinven, a European private equity firm, and certain other sellers (collectively the “Vendors”).

AMCo is an international specialty pharmaceutical company, owning a diversified portfolio of branded and generic prescription products, which are sold to wholesalers, hospitals and pharmacies in over 100 countries. AMCo is focused on the acquisition and development of off-patent prescription medicines in selected therapeutic areas. AMCo’s medicines are manufactured and sold through an out-sourced production and distribution network and marketed internationally through a combination of direct sales and local partnerships.

The Acquisition provides Concordia with a diversified portfolio of more than 190 off-patent molecules, as well as entry into new therapeutic areas such as endocrinology, ophthalmology and urology.

 

2.2 Date of the Acquisition

The effective date of the Acquisition was October 21, 2015 (the “Closing Date”). The date of acquisition for accounting purposes is the Closing Date.

 

2.3 Consideration

Concordia, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired AMCo for cash consideration of approximately £800 million (with a value at closing of US$1.24 billion), 8.49 million common

- 2 -

shares of the Company (with a value at closing of US$230.8 million) and daily interest of £272,801 that accrued from June 30, 2015 to October 21,2015 (with a value at closing of US$47.6 million). In addition the Company will pay to the Vendors a maximum cash earn-out of £144 million (with an estimated value at closing of US$207.9 million) based on AMCo’s future gross profit over a period of 12 months from October 1, 2015. If the Company acquires certain specified pharmaceutical products from a specified third party introduced to the Company by certain of the Vendors within 12 months of the date of the Acquisition, the Company will pay to the Vendors an additional US$72 million.

As part of the purchase commitment the Company was required to repay on the Closing Date AMCo’s existing senior secured facilities in the respective principal amounts of £581 million and €440 million plus accrued interest and related cross-currency swaps (with a value at closing of US$1.4 billion). Concurrent with the closing of the Acquisition the Company also repaid, in full, the outstanding principal balance of its existing term facility of US$573.6 million (the “Existing Term Facility”).

The cash portion of the purchase price for the Acquisition in the amount of US$1.28 billion plus the funds required to repay AMCo’s existing debt in the amount of US$1.4 billion and to repay the Existing Term Facility was funded by a combination of cash on hand and debt and equity financings. In that respect the Company: (i) completed an equity offering whereby it issued 8,000,000 common shares of the Company at a price of US$65.00 per share for gross proceeds to Concordia of US$520 million (the “Equity Offering”); (ii) entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders for senior secured term loans of US$ 1.1 billion and £500 million; (iii) entered into two bridge loans for an aggregate amount of US$180 million; and (iv) issued senior notes in the principal amount of US$790 million.

The Equity Offering was completed pursuant to an underwriting agreement with a syndicate of underwriters (the “Equity Underwriters”). The Equity Offering closed on September 30, 2015.

Concordia entered into the Credit Facility on October 21, 2015 pursuant to which a syndicate of lenders made secured term loans in the aggregate amounts of US$1.1 billion in one tranche (the “USD Term Loan”) and £500 million in a separate tranche (the “GBP Term Loan” and together with the USD Term Loan, the “Term Loans”) and made available to Concordia a secured revolving loan in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of up to US$200 million. All obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility are or will be, as applicable, guaranteed by all material subsidiaries of the Company and secured by first priority security interests in the assets of the Company and the assets of and equity interests in its material subsidiaries. The Term Loans mature on October 21, 2021, have variable interest rates and require fixed payments over the term to maturity as well as mandatory repayments based on excess cash flow generated by the Company, calculated annually. Interest rates on the Term Loans are calculated based on LIBOR plus applicable margins, with a LIBOR floor of 1%.

In addition, on the Closing Date, a syndicate of lenders provided the Company with: (i) a senior unsecured equity bridge term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of US$135 million (the “Extended Bridge Loans”); and (ii) a senior unsecured equity bridge term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of US$45 million (the “Equity Bridge Loans” and together with the Extended Bridge Loans, the “Bridge Facilities”). All obligations of the Company under the Bridge Facilities, subject to certain customary exceptions, are or will be, as applicable, guaranteed by all material subsidiaries of the Corporation. The Extended Bridge Loans will carry a maturity of seven years and an interest rate of 9.5% for two years. If the Extended Bridge Loans are not paid off by the Company in two years then the interest rate will increase to 11.5%


Table of Contents

 

- 3 -

and the lenders holding the Extended Bridge Loans will have the right to convert the Extended Bridge Loans into a five-year bond with an interest rate of 11.5%. The Equity Bridge Loans carry a maturity of two years and an interest rate of 9.5%.

On the Closing Date the Company also issued US$790 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.5% senior notes due 2022 (the “Notes”). The Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.5%, which will be paid on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2016 and will mature on October 21, 2022. Prior to December 15, 2018 the Company may redeem up to 35% of the Notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at a premium plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Prior to December 15, 2018, the Company may also redeem the Notes in whole or in part upon payment of a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. On and after December 15, 2018, the Company may redeem the Notes in whole or in part at certain specified redemption prices. If certain assets are sold or in the event of a change of control, the Company may be required to repurchase some or all of the Notes. The Notes are, or will be, as applicable, guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by certain existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”). The Notes and the guarantees rank senior in right of payment to all of Concordia’s subordinated indebtedness, as well as the subordinated indebtedness of the Guarantors, and equal in right of payment with all of Concordia’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness, including indebtedness under the Term Loans. The Notes effectively are subordinated to all of Concordia’s existing and future secured indebtedness, as well as the secured indebtedness of the Guarantors, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The Notes and guarantees also are structurally subordinated to all existing and future obligations, including indebtedness and trade payables, of any of Concordia’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes.

 

2.4 Effect on Financial Position

The acquisition of AMCo complements the Company’s Legacy Pharmaceutical Division. The Company has no current plans or proposals for material changes in its business affairs or the affairs of AMCo, which may have a significant effect on the results of operations and financial position of the Company.

 

2.5 Prior Valuations

Not applicable.

 

2.6 Parties to the Acquisition

The acquisition did not involve an informed person, associate or affiliate of the Company.

Directors’ Report (continued)

 

Future prospects for the business

The Group’s pharmaceuticals product portfolio has performed well during the year benefiting from a combination of favourable product mix and operational efficiencies. The Group intends to use its resources to invest in new product introductions via development, in-licensing and acquisitions. Long term sustainable growth is an area that is at the forefront of the Group’s objectives, so that it can maximise value for its stakeholders.

Other matters

The Group has incurred costs of £3,082,000 (2013: £1,082,000) in relation to research and development activities during the year.

The Group has not been involved in the purchase of its own shares during the current year or previous year.

Directors

The directors who served the Company during the year and subsequent to the year end were as follows:

Simon Radford

Mark Wanless

Aztec Directors Limited

Supraj Rajagopalan

Alexander Leslie

Jeremy Caplan

Vijay Patel (resigned on 30 July 2014)

Principal risks and uncertainties

The management of the business and the nature of the Group’s strategy are subject to certain risks:

Capacity constraints of suppliers of key products

The planned sales growth of some of our key products may be impacted by the capacity constraints of some of our suppliers. Senior management are working on initiatives to mitigate these risks in order to deliver the forecasted sales growth.

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange rates have undergone a period of volatility due to economic uncertainty and relative economic performance in different parts of the world. While the Group hedging policy attempts to mitigate this risk, a net exposure will remain to currencies which may depreciate against the GBP in future. The Group operates a centralised treasury model to mitigate foreign exchange risk.

High proportion of fixed overheads and variable revenues

A large proportion of the Group’s overheads are fixed. Senior management closely monitor fixed overheads against budget on a monthly basis and costs saving exercises are implemented in case there is an anticipated decline in revenues.

Directors’ Report (continued)

 

Principal risks and uncertainties (continued)

 

Competition

A small segment of the business operates in a competitive environment which puts pressure on margins and the ability to meet customers’ expectations. Policies of constant price monitoring and ongoing market research are in place to mitigate such risks.

Interest rate risk

The Group adopts a policy of ensuring that an appropriate proportion of its exposure to changes in interest rates on borrowings is covered by effective conversion to a fixed rate. Interest rate swaps are entered into to achieve an appropriate mix of fixed and floating exposure that is consistent with the Group’s policy.

Essential contracts

The Group’s performance is largely reliant on sourcing high quality products at the lowest possible prices. The Group has benefited from a number of contracts with suppliers which have proved essential in enabling the Group to deliver quality products at the lowest possible price.

Statement of directors’ responsibilities

The directors are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for that year. In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to:

 

    select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

 

    make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

 

    state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

 

    prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis (unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group will continue in business).

The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent auditor

KPMG LLP was appointed as auditor during the year.

Approval of accounts

The Directors’ Report, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements are approved by the Directors.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Amdipharm Mercury Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Amdipharm Mercury Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated cash flow statement for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management based on the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The directors are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation 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 audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and 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 our 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, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation 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. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2014 and year ended 31 December 2013:

 

    give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s affairs as at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013 and of its profit for the year ended 31 December 2014 and its loss for the year ended 31 December 2013;

 

    have been properly prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards; and

 

    have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991.

Consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Corporate information

The consolidated financial statements of Amdipharm Mercury Limited (“the Company”) for the year ended 31 December 2014 were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 11 September 2015 and the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position was signed on the Board’s behalf by Mark Wanless and Simon Radford. Amdipharm Mercury Limited, a private limited company was incorporated in Jersey on 22 November 2012 as an ultimate holding company.

The principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report that accompanies these consolidated financial statements.

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The accounting policies set out below have, unless otherwise stated, been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements and in preparing an opening IFRS balance sheet at 31 December 2013 for the purposes of the transition to Adopted IFRSs. A summary of the accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements is given below. In addition, note 17 to the financial statements includes the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for managing its capital, its financial risk management risk objectives and details of its financial instruments.

The Group recognised a profit of £6.20 million (2013: loss of £18.29 million) for the year ended 31 December 2014. Consistent with this fact the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Board of Directors believe is appropriate for the following reasons.

The Group is funded by a combination of ordinary share capital, cash holdings, bank term loans and loan notes. As highlighted in note 19, the bank term loans and revolving credit facilities are for a period of between 4 and 5 years. Repayments are ongoing and primarily on a half yearly basis. As with other groups with similar financing structures, the banking facilities are subject to periodic covenant tests.

The Directors have prepared projections for the next fifteen months from the date of these financial statements, including sensitivity analysis on key assumptions made, and consider the forecasts to be reasonable and realistic.

On the basis of these projections, and based on the current level of trading early in 2015, the Directors consider the Group will continue to operate within its facilities, remain compliant with its banking covenants and continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Hence the going concern basis is appropriate.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group incorporate the results of the Company and its subsidiaries drawn up to 31 December 2014.

Control of the Companies subsidiaries was obtained in the year 2012 by transfer of the investments in the Mercury Pharma and Amdipharm groups to Amdipharm Mercury Debtco Limited, an intermediate holding company, registered in Jersey, under the common control of the Company. As these transfers occurred under common control, they are outside the scope of IFRS 3 ‘Business Combinations’.

The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position consolidates the assets and liabilities of those entities controlled by the Company as at 31 December 2014. The Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement consolidate the income, expenses, gains, losses and cash flows of entities controlled by the Company from the point at which control was obtained by the ultimate controlling party, Amdipharm Mercury Limited, to 31 December 2014.

The original acquisitions by the group headed by the Company of the Mercury Pharma and Amdipharm groups from unrelated third parties are business combinations that fall within the scope of IFRS 3. The acquisition method of accounting has therefore been applied to these transactions.

The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values on the date of acquisition, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest. The excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of identifiable net assets, including intangible assets acquired, is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition costs are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income as incurred.

As the transfers took place under the control of the Company they are considered to be transactions with these entities in their capacity as equity holders and the resulting change in equity has been recognised outside of total comprehensive income.

On consolidation, all intra group transactions, balances, income and expenditure are eliminated. An Employee Benefit Trust that is controlled by its sponsoring entity, which is a member of the Group, is consolidated into the financial statements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Revenue

Revenue mainly comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods.

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to a third party and generally this is upon delivery of the products to the wholesaler or distributor.

Revenue is shown net of value added tax, estimated returns and discounts. The methodology and assumptions used to estimate provision for discounts and returns are monitored and adjusted in the light of contractual and historical information.

Royalty income is recognised on an accruals basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreements.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in ‘intangible assets’. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose identified according to operating segment.

Trademarks, licenses and product rights

Separately acquired trademarks, licences and product rights are shown at historical cost. Trademarks, licences and product rights acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Trademarks, licences and product rights have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of trademarks, licences and product rights over their estimated useful lives of 5 to 20 years.

Technology under development

Costs incurred on development projects (relating to own development branded products and line extensions) are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technological feasibility and costs can be measured reliably. Other development expenditures are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent year.

Technology under development acquired in a business combination is recognised separately as an intangible asset if and only if it meets the definition of an intangible asset in accordance with IAS 38 and its fair value can be measured reliably.

All development costs with a finite useful life that have been capitalised are amortised from the commencement of the commercial production of the product on a straight-line basis over the period of its expected benefit. Prior to commercial production of the product the asset is tested annually for impairment. Provision is made for any impairment.

Customer contracts

Customer contracts acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Customer contracts have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of contract over their estimated useful lives of 5 years.

Distributor relationships

Distributor relationships acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. The distributor relationships have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method over the expected life of the distributor relationships. The estimated useful life of the existing distributor relationships is 5 to 10 years.

1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Software

Acquired software licences are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring into use the specific software. These costs are amortised over their estimated useful lives of between 3 to 5 years. The amortisation cost has been included within administrative expenses in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Capitalised costs include borrowing costs where applicable in accordance with IAS 23. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives on the cost of the assets less their residual value. Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

Freehold buildings and leasehold improvements        25 years or over the period of lease
Office equipment        3 to 5 years
Plant and equipment        6 to 7 years
Motor vehicles        5 years

Residual values are re-assessed annually.

Assets which have been purchased but are not ready for their intended use and directly attributable costs for construction of assets are shown under assets under the course of construction. These assets will be transferred to the relevant asset class on completion of construction of the asset or when the asset is ready for their intended use. Assets under the course of construction are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Depreciation commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life, excluding land, for example goodwill, are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). An impairment loss is recognised as the amount by which the asset’s or cash generating unit’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is based on the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

If at the balance sheet date there is any indication that an impairment loss recognised in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost is determined using the weighted average price method. The cost of finished goods comprises product cost, its packaging and applicable duties and taxes. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.

Accounting for income taxes

Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting period, that are unpaid at the balance sheet date. They are calculated according to the substantively enacted tax rates and tax laws applicable to the fiscal periods to which they relate, based on the taxable profit for the period.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. This involves comparison of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements with their respective tax bases. However, deferred tax is not provided on the initial recognition of goodwill, nor on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction is a business combination or affects tax or accounting profit. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. All changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a

component of tax expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except where they relate to items that are charged or credited directly to equity (such as currency translation differences) in which case the related deferred tax is also charged or credited directly to equity.

Tax losses available to be carried forward as well as other income tax credits to the Group are assessed for recognition as deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be recognised and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash.

Employee Benefit Trust

The assets and liabilities of the Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Any assets held by the EBT cease to be recognised in the Statement of Financial Position when the assets vest unconditionally in identified beneficiaries.

Employee benefits

The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme whereby contributions are made to individual employee pension plans of certain employees. These costs are charged against profits in respect of the accounting period in which they are paid.

Leased assets

All leased assets are identified as operating leases if they do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards to the lessee.

Payments made under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Foreign currencies

The reporting currency for these financial statements is UK sterling (£) which is the Company’s functional currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction into the relevant company’s functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss. Non monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign entity are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

All assets and liabilities in the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the closing rate at the balance sheet date. The results of foreign operations have been converted into the Group’s reporting currency at the average rates over the reporting period and the exchange differences arising have been taken to a currency translation reserve, a component of equity. The exchange differences arising from re-translation of the net investments in subsidiaries are directly taken to the currency translation reserve.

Dividends

Dividends proposed or declared after the balance sheet date is not recognised as a liability. However the amounts of such dividends are disclosed in the financial statements.

1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Segmental reporting

During the year, the results were reported separately under direct and distributor markets to the Board of Directors and constituted the distinct operating segments of the Group.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual terms of the instrument.

Loans and receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than GO days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within ‘other administrative expenses’. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for trade receivables. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against ‘other administrative expenses’ in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Bank borrowings and loan notes

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit and loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan and are charged to profit and loss over the period of the loan.

Trade payables

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

 

-   Share capital   -   represents the nominal value of equity shares
-   Share premium   -   represents amounts paid for equity shares in excess of their nominal value
-   Retained earnings   -   represents the accumulated retained profits
-   Currency translation reserve   -   represents gains or losses on foreign currency differences arising on consolidation of the net investment in subsidiaries.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Impairment of goodwill and other intangibles

The Group tests goodwill annually for impairment, and other intangible assets where indicators exist, in accordance with the accounting policy set out above. The recoverable amounts of cash generating units have been determined using value in use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates.

Income taxes

The Group is subject to taxes in various jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the Group provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates as to whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provision in the year in which such determination is made.

Measurement of fair value

The Group is subject to payment of contingent consideration on various acquisitions over different periods. The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values and has an internal reporting and monitoring process for the contingent consideration. The measurement at fair value of contingent consideration on acquisition is performed by independent third party experts and relies on management’s estimates of achievement of contracted earn out milestones.

Capitalisation of development costs

The Group capitalises costs related to in-licensing and development projects related to its product pipeline, however there could be uncertainty around the timing of launch of the pipeline products and the commercial potential when these products are launched. The Group has a on-going process of monitoring these projects and assumptions around the commercial forecasts and launch dates of these products, which is a area of judgement.

2. SEGMENTAL REPORTING

Segment information is presented in the consolidated financial statements in respect of the Group’s business segments. The business segment-reporting format reflects the Group’s management and internal reporting structure. All operating segments’ operating results are reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors and the Group CEO to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance.

Business segments

The Group is currently organised into two major divisions: Direct markets and Distributor markets. These divisions form the basis for the Group’s reporting of segment information. Direct markets comprise of UK, Ireland, France, Nordics and Benelux regions.

Geographical segments

In presenting information based on the geographical segments, segment revenue is based on the geographical location of the customer.

Assets are identified to the segment on the basis of their place of use.

Segment results

Segment results include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. The segment results are pre-tax.

All inter-segment revenues are priced and carried out at arm’s length; however there are no inter-segment revenues during the year.

Segment assets and liabilities

Segment assets include all operating assets used by a segment and consist principally of operating cash, trade and other receivables and property, plant and equipment, net of allowances and provisions which are reported as direct offsets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Segment liabilities include all operating Liabilities and consist principally of trade and other payable and other liabilities.

Unallocated corporate assets include mark to market receivable of interest rate and cross currency swaps.

Unallocated corporate liabilities include long term and short term borrowings, mark-to market liability of interest rate and cross currency swaps and accrued interest on borrowings.

Factors affecting current tax charge:

The tax assessed on profit/(loss) on ordinary activities for the year differs from the standard rate of corporation tax in Jersey which is 0%. As per IAS -12, the blended tax rate @ 23.81% (2013: -37.13%) is taken into consideration.

Table of Contents

The effective tax rate (ETR) of 23.81% has been arrived at by calculating the weighted average standard rate of tax, taking into consideration the tax charge as per the standard rate in the respective jurisdiction over the profit before tax of such jurisdictions.

The differences are explained below:

The effective tax rate is impacted by the finance cost of the fixed unsecured loan notes 2052 of £42.18 million (2013: £40.59 million) which is a non-deductible expense as it attracts a tax rate of 0% in Jersey.

A reduction in the UK corporation tax rate from 24% to 23% (effective 1 April 2013) was substantively enacted on 3 July 2012. Further reductions to 21% (effective from 1 April 2014) and 20% (effective from 1 April 2015) were substantively enacted on 2 July 2013. In the Budget on 8 July 2015, the Chancellor announced additional planned reductions to 18% by 2020. This will reduce the company’s future current tax charge accordingly. The deferred tax liability at 31 December 2014 has been calculated based on the rate of 20% substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

The recoverable amounts of the cash generating units are determined from value in use calculations which use discounted pre tax cash flows based on the future forecasts for the estimated useful life between the ranges of 2-20 years.

Goodwill is not amortized but tested annually for impairment or more frequently if there are indications that it may be impaired. Goodwill has been allocated to two cash generating units in the current year for the purpose of impairment testing. The recoverable amount of the cash generating units is determined from value in use calculations. The value in use calculations are based on discounted cash flow forecasts over five years and then grown at 3% in perpetuity. The discount rate applied is 14%. The Directors believe that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amounts are based would not cause the carrying amount of goodwill to exceed its recoverable amount.

Trade receivables that are less than 60 days past due are not considered impaired. As of 31 December 2014, trade receivables of £15,857,000 (2013:£9,334,000) were past due but not impaired. These relate to a number of independent customers for whom there is no recent history of default. The ageing analysis of these trade receivables is as follows:

The creation and release of provision for impaired receivables have been included in ‘other administrative expenses’ in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Amounts charged to the allowance account are generally written off, when there is no expectation of recovering additional cash.

The other classes within trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets.

Trade receivables are usually due within 80 days and do not bear any effective interest rate. All trade receivables except the factored portion of the Retail Generics segment are subject to credit risk exposure. However the Group does not identify specific concentration of credit risk with regards to trade receivables, as the amount recognised resemble a large number of receivables from various customers.

The fair value of these short term financial assets is not individually determined as the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Lease costs recognised as an expense during the year amount to £1,429,000 (2013: £1,039,000). No sublease income is expected as all assets held under lease agreements are used exclusively by the Group.

No operating lease agreements contain any contingent rent clauses.

The Group did not have any finance leases at 31 December 2014 (2013: Nil)

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Monitoring of financial risk is part of the Board’s ongoing risk assessment process.

The Group uses financial instruments, comprising cash, short term and long terms borrowings, trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Group’s operations.

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost or fair value and comprise trade receivables, accrued income, interest rate swaps and cash and cash equivalents. Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost or fair value and comprise trade payables, accruals, other creditors, interest rate swaps and long and short term borrowings.

Credit risk

The Group’s principal financial assets are bank balances, cash and trade receivables, which represent the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets.

The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. Credit risk is managed by monitoring the aggregate amount and duration of exposure to any one customer depending upon their credit rating. Where export customers are granted credit terms, credit insurance of some, or all of the balances is generally sought. The amounts presented in the Statement of Financial Position are net of allowances for doubtful debts, estimated by management based on prior experience and their assessment of the current economic environment.

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties and customers.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

 

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by cash held at variable rates. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. During 2014, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in UK sterling (£) and Euro (€).

The Group does not have significant interest-bearing assets and therefore the Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.

The Group finances its operations through a mixture of retained profits and bank facilities. Bank borrowings are made using variable interest rates and loan notes have a fixed 12% interest rate.

An interest rate sensitivity analysis assumes an instantaneous 100 basis point change in interest rates in all currencies from their levels at 31 December 2014, with all other variables held constant. Based on the composition of the Group’s debt portfolio as at 31 December 2014, a 1% increase/decrease in interest rates would result in an additional £8,796,648 (2013: £9,499,698) in interest expense/income for the year.

Liquidity risk

Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Group finance. Group finance monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities (note 19) at all times so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance and compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets.

Currency risk

The Group is exposed to translation and transaction foreign exchange risk. In relation to translation risk the proportion of assets held in the foreign currency are matched to an appropriate level of borrowings in the same currency. Transaction exposures are hedged when known, mainly using the forward exchange hedge market.

Capital management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital (retained profits and borrowings) are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, support the growth of the business and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of borrowing. The Board of Directors review the Group’s funding requirements annually. The financing of the Group consists of borrowings (see note 19, ‘Long term and short term borrowings’), cash and cash equivalents and shareholders’ equity (see ‘Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity’).

The Group seeks to hedge its exposures using a variety of financial instruments, with the objective of minimising the impact of fluctuations in exchange rates on future transactions and cash flows.

£105.41 million (2013: £91.29 million) of the sales of the Group’s business is to customers in continental Europe/foreign markets. The majority of these sales are invoiced in the currencies of the customers involved. The Group policy is to minimise all currency exposures on any balance not expected to mature within 60 days of its arising through the use of forward currency contracts, however there were none in place at the year end. All other sales of UK business are denominated in sterling.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

The fair value of a financial asset or liability is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. For the financial assets and liabilities of the Group, the fair values have been estimated as described below:

 

Cash and cash equivalents   -    approximates to the carrying amount;
Short-term borrowings   -    approximates to the carrying amount because of the short maturity of these instruments;
Long-term borrowings   -    approximates to the carrying amount in the case of floating rate bank loans and other loans;
Receivables and payables   -    approximates to the carrying amount.

i) Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs

The following tables show the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 2 and Level 3 fair values, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.

Financial instruments measured at fair values

 

Type    Valuation technique    Significant unobservable inputs    Inter-relationship between significant
unobservable inputs and fair value
measurements
Interest rate swaps    Market comparison technique: The fair values are based on bank quotes. Similar contracts are traded in an active market and the quotes reflect the actual transactions in similar instruments    Not applicable    Not applicable
       
Focus contingent consideration (2014)    Discounted cash flows: The valuation model considers the present value of expected payment, discounted using a risk - adjusted discount rate. The expected payment is determined by considering the possible scenarios of gross profit threshold, receiving market authorisations and ensuring continuity of supply of the products, the amount to be paid under each scenario and the probability of each scenario.    Gross profit thresholds for 12 months ending December 2015 and 2016, subject to a cap of £7 million and £4 million respectively. Contingent consideration of £934k paid in January 2015 contributes to the estimate of fair value.    The estimated fair value would decrease if: - the annual gross profit growth rates were lower.
       
Abcur contingent consideration (2013)    Discounted cash flows: The valuation model considers the present value of expected payment, discounted using a risk - adjusted discount rate. The expected payment is determined by considering the possible scenarios of forecast revenue and EBITDA , the amount to be paid under each scenario and the probability of each scenario    Certain revenue and EBITDA thresholds for 12 months ending November 2014 and 2015 and also SEK 500k is payable for every 1% outperformance (subject to cap of 20%) of EBITDA and revenue thresholds. Contingent consideration of £1.3 million paid in January 2015 contributes to the estimate of fair value.    The estimated fair value would increase/(decrease) if: - the annual revenue growth rate were lower, -the EBITDA margin were lower or;- the risk adjusted discount rate were lower/ (higher). Generally, a change in the annual revenue growth rate is accompanied by a directionally similar change in EBITDA.

Sensitivity analysis

Focus contingent consideration:

Management have assumed that the earn out targets will be reached in period one and period two and have therefore recognised the maximum fair value payable. In order for the contingent consideration to be affected, it would require a fall in forecast gross profit of 19% in earn out period one and 57% in earn out period two. The second element of the contingent consideration is in respect of securing approval for particular Market Authorisations. The current fair value assumes these Market Authorisations will be approved, if this is not achieved then this element of the contingent consideration would reduce to £nil.

Abcur contingent consideration:

The fair value of the contingent consideration is based upon two earn out period calculations with target revenue and EBITDA figures for November 2014 and November 2015. In January 2015 a payment was made in respect of the first earn out period and this has been deemed to be fair value and further sensitivity analysis is not considered necessary. Management have assumed the maximum earn out targets will be reached in period two and have therefore recognised the maximum fair value amount. In order for this element of the contingent consideration to be affected it would require a fall in forecast revenue of 14 % and a fall in forecast EBITDA of 17%.

18. CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

At 31 December 2014, the Group had entered into a contract to purchase property, plant and equipment of £566,000 (2013: £nil). These commitments are expected to be settled in the following financial year.

19. LONG TERM AND SHORT TERM BORROWINGS

On 28 November 2014 the group successfully completed a refinancing process, which involved raising new debt and paying off the Mezzanine debt. The proceeds were used to make a more efficient use of borrowings by paying off the Mezzanine debt and to make repayments to the fixed unsecured loan notes 2052.

Amdipharm Mercury Limited

Condensed financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2015

Notes to the Interim Financial Information for the six months ended 30 June 2015

1. General information

The condensed financial statements of Amdipharm Mercury Limited have been prepared for the six months ended 30 June 2015. These financial statements have been reviewed and not audited and were approved for issue by the Directors on 11 September 2015. Annual accounts for the year ended 31 December 2014 were approved by the Board of Directors on 11 September 2015. The report of the auditors on those financial statements was unqualified, and did not contain an emphasis of matter paragraph.

The principal activity of the Company is that of a holding company of the operating and group services businesses within the Group. The Group is engaged in the marketing and distribution of pharmaceutical products. It is intended that the company will continue in its present capacity in the coming year.

2. Basis of preparation

This half yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2015 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, ‘Interim financial reporting’. The half yearly financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).

The Group recognised a profit of £26.37 million for the six months ended 30 June 2015 (six months ended 30 June 2014: £7.99 million). Consistent with this fact the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Board of Directors believe is appropriate for the following reasons.

The Group is funded by a combination of ordinary share capital, cash holdings, bank term loans and loan notes. The bank term loans and revolving credit facilities are for a period of between 4 and 5 years. Repayments are on-going and primarily on a half yearly basis. As with other groups with similar financing structures, the banking facilities are subject to periodic covenant tests.

The Directors have prepared projections for the next fifteen months from the date of these financial statements, including sensitivity analysis on key assumptions made, and consider the forecasts to be reasonable and realistic.

On the basis of these projections, and based on the actual trading first 6 months of the year 2015, the Directors consider the Group will continue to operate within its facilities, remain compliant with its banking covenants and continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Hence the going concern basis is appropriate.

3. Accounting Policies

The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, as described in the Annual Report and Accounts.

4. Segmental Reporting

Segment information is presented in the condensed financial statements in respect of the Group’s business segments. The business segment-reporting format reflects the Group’s management and internal reporting structure. All operating segments’ operating results are reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors and the Group CEO to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance.

Business segments

The Group is currently organised into two major divisions: Direct markets and Distributor markets. These divisions form the basis for the Group’s reporting of segment information. Direct markets comprise of UK, Ireland, France, Nordics and Benelux regions.

Geographical segments

In presenting information based on the geographical segments, segment revenue is based on the geographical location of the customer.

Segment results

Segment results include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. The segment results are pre-tax.

All inter-segment revenues are priced and carried out at arm’s length; however there are no inter-segment revenues during the year.

Factors affecting current tax charge:

The tax assessed on profit on ordinary activities for the period differs from the standard rate of corporation tax in Jersey which is 0%. As per IAS -12, the blended tax rate @ 11.83% (2014: 12.97%) is taken into consideration.

The effective tax rate (ETR) of 11.83% has been arrived at by calculating the weighted average standard rate of tax, taking into consideration the tax charge as per the standard rate in the respective jurisdiction over the profit before tax of such jurisdictions.

The differences are explained below:

A reduction in the UK corporation tax rate from 24% to 23% (effective 1 April 2013) was substantively enacted on 3 July 2012, Further reductions to 21% (effective from 1 April 2014) and 20% (effective from 1 April 2015) were substantively enacted on 2 July 2013. In the Budget on 8 July 2015, the Chancellor announced additional planned reductions to 18% by 2020. This will reduce the company’s future current tax charge accordingly. The deferred tax liability at 30 June 2015 has been calculated based on the rate of 20% substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

8. Financial Instruments

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

The fair value of a financial asset or liability is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. For the financial assets and liabilities of the Group, the fair values have been estimated as described below:

 

Cash and cash equivalents   -    approximates to the carrying amount;
Short-term borrowings   -    approximates to the carrying amount because of the short maturity of these instruments;
Long-term borrowings   -    approximates to the carrying amount in the case of floating rate bank loans and other loans;
Receivables and payables   -    approximates to the carrying amount.

Fixed rate unsecured loan

note 2052

  -    approximates to the carrying amount.

  A) Accounting classifications and fair values

The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value

i) Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs

The following tables show the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 2 and Level 3 fair values, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.

Financial instruments measured at fair values

 

Type    Valuation technique    Significant unobservable inputs    Inter-relationship between significant
unobservable inputs and fair value
measurements
Interest rate swaps    Market comparison technique: The fair values are based on bank quotes. Similar contracts are traded in an active market and the quotes reflect the actual transactions in similar instruments.    Not applicable    Not applicable
       

Primegen contingent consideration

(2015)

   Discounted cash flows: The valuation model considers the present value of expected payment, discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The expected payment is determined by considering the possible scenarios of receiving market authorisations and ensuring continuity of supply of the products, the amount to be paid under each scenario and the probability of each scenario.    Certain revenue thresholds for 12 months ending June 2016 subject to a cap of £10 million and marketing authorisations being granted.    The estimated fair value would decrease if: - the annual revenue growth rates were lower and marketing authorisations are not granted.
       

Focus contingent consideration

(2014)

   Discounted cash flows: The valuation model considers the present value of expected payment, discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The expected payment is determined by considering the possible scenarios of gross profit threshold, receiving market authorisations and ensuring continuity of supply of the products, the amount to be paid under each scenario and the probability of each scenario.    Gross profit thresholds for 12 months ending December 2015 and 2016, subject to a cap of £7 million and £4 million respectively. Contingent consideration of £934k paid in January 2015 contributes to the estimate of fair value.    The estimated fair value would decrease if: - the annual gross profit growth rates were lower.
       

Abcur contingent consideration

(2013)

   Discounted cash flows: The valuation model considers the present value of expected payment, discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The expected payment is determined by considering the possible scenarios of forecast revenue and EBITDA, the amount to be paid under each scenario and the probability of each scenario.    Certain revenue and EBITDA thresholds for 12 months ending November 2014 and 2015 and also SEK 500k is payable for every 1% outperformance (subject to cap of 20%) of EBITDA and revenue thresholds. contingent consideration of £1.3 million paid in January 2015 contributes to the estimate of fair value.    The estimated fair value would increase/(decrease) if: - the annual revenue growth rate were lower; -the EBITDA margin were lower or;- the risk adjusted discount rate were lower/ (higher). Generally, a change in the annual revenue growth rate is accompanied by a directionally similar change in EBITDA.

Sensitivity analysis

Primegen contingent consideration:

Management have assumed that the cam out targets will be reached in period one and period two and have therefore recognised the maximum fair value payable. In order for the contingent consideration to be affected, it would require a fall in forecast revenue by 28%. The second element of the contingent consideration is in respect of securing approval for particular Market Authorisations. The current fair value assumes these Market Authorisations will be approved, if this is not achieved then this element of the contingent consideration would reduce to £nil.

Focus contingent consideration:

Management have assumed that the earn out targets will be reached in period one and period two and have therefore recognised the maximum fair value payable. In order for the contingent consideration to be affected, it would require a fall in forecast gross profit of 7% in earn out period one and 57% in earn out period two. The second element of the contingent consideration is in respect of securing approval for particular Market Authorisations. The current fair value assumes these Market Authorisations will be approved, if this is not achieved then this element of the contingent consideration would reduce to £nil.

Abcur contingent consideration:

The fair value of the contingent consideration is based upon two earn out period calculations with target revenue and EBITDA figures for November 2014 and November 2015. In January 2015 a payment was made in respect of the first earn out period and this has been deemed to be fair value and further sensitivity analysis is not considered necessary. Management have assumed the maximum earn out targets will be reached in period two and have therefore recognised the maximum fair value amount. In order for this element of the contingent consideration to be affected it would require a fall in forecast revenue of 13 % and a fall in forecast EBITDA of 20 %.

The Group bank borrowings consist of term loans, namely Senior Debt A and Senior Debt B1 and B2. Senior Debt A is repayable in installments with the final payment falling due on 31 December 2018. The Senior Debt B is repayable on 31 December 2019.

Interest is charged at 4% above 3 month LIBOR for Senior Debt A, 5.25% above 3 month LIBOR for Senior Debt B1 and 4.75% above 3 month EURIBOR for Senior Debt B2.

The initial costs of establishing the loan facility are being amortised over term of the loan.

The bank term loan facility is secured by a cross debenture and guarantee between Amdipharm Mercury Debtco Limited, Amdipharm Mercury Newco Limited, Amdipharm Mercury Holdco UK Ltd, Amdipharm Mercury Midco UK Limited, Amdipharm Mercury UK Limited, Mercury Pharma Group Limited, Mercury Pharmaceuticals Limited, Mercury Pharma (Generics) Limited, Mercury Pharma Overseas Limited, Mercury Pharma International Limited, Amdipharm AG, Amdipharm International Ltd, Amdipharm Sales & Marketing Ltd, Amdipharm Marketing Ltd, Amdipharm Ltd and by a debenture granting fixed and floating security over all assets of the above mentioned companies with the company’s lending banks.

The Group has an undrawn revolving loan facility of £24.25 million (2014: £24.65 million) and acquisition facility commitments of £nil (2014: £25 million). The revolving loan facility is subject to commitment fees of 1.6% per annum and is valid for the remaining life of the term loans.

The Company issued a first tranche of A1 fixed rate unsecured loan notes 2052 worth £244.32 million on 31 August 2012 and a second tranche of £153.64 million on 31 October 2012. £11.41 million of A2 fixed rate unsecured loan notes 2052 and £33.82 million of A3 fixed rate unsecured loan notes 2052 were also issued by the Group on 31 October 2012. The Series A1 loan notes carry the same rights and rank pari passu among themselves, and both the A1, A2 and A3 loan notes mature in 2052.

The Company had originally issued the A1 loan notes to the Cinven funds and certain private shareholders, A2 loan notes to Cinven funds and the management team of Amdipharm Mercury Group Limited (formerly known as Mercury Pharma Group Limited) and A3 Loan notes to Verdot Limited (the management team of the Amdipharm group). The loan notes confer upon the holders the right to receive interest at a rate of 12 per cent per annum, compounding annually.

10. ACQUISITIONS

On 2 June 2015 Mercury Pharma Group Limited purchased 100% of the ordinary shares of Primegen Limited (“Primegen”), a specialty pharma business based in the United Kingdom. Primegen sells a number of niche medicines, predominantly in the UK, and has an attractive pipeline of UK and international registrations.

Since Primegen Limited is under the control of Amdipharm Mercury Limited, the results of the acquired business are included from the date of acquisition in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The acquisition was for net cash of £45.40 million (including cash acquired) and a total consideration of £64.65 million. Primegen limited had a turnover of £2.83 million and a profit before tax from operations of £1.70 million for the period, of which £1.25 million of turnover and £1.09 million of profit before tax related to the period since acquisition are included in Group accounts.

The following table summarises the consideration paid for Primegen Limited and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognised at the acquisition date, as well as the fair value at the acquisition date. The valuations in the table are provisional fair values and may change in the future.

The goodwill is mainly attributable to the product pipeline additional revenues to be generated from expansion of Primegen’s product portfolio into the Group’s international sales network. None of this goodwill is expected to be tax deductible.

The Group has agreed to pay the selling shareholders over a period of 2 years additional consideration of £22.5 million (present value of £19.04 million) based on the company meeting existing product sales target and receiving Market Authorisation approval for certain molecules, for the year ending December 2016 and 2017.

Acquisition-related costs amounting to £748,000 have been shown within non-recurring items in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the period ended 30 June 2015.

Dual sourcing and other operational projects include one-off costs incurred through the diversification of the company’s sources of finished dosage and active product ingredients for the top products. The expenditure is primarily related to the transfer of technologies, validation of sample batches and stability studies.

Integration costs consist of legal and professional fees incurred in relation to employee related settlement payments, project management, infrastructure costs and similarly identifiable expenditure.

Project P3 costs consist of one-off expenditure incurred by the company in updating the summary of product characteristics for the legacy Amdipharm portfolio across all territories in line with regulatory requirements.

Acquisition and deal costs consists primarily of advisor fees incurred for the due diligence work for acquisitions projects, along with related stamp duty and legal costs for post acquisition restructuring.

12. Subsequent events

On 31 July 2015 the Group acquired an Australian company Boucher and Muir Pty Ltd (BNM) for an initial consideration of £6.59 million and contingent consideration of £2.95 million. BNM sells specialist medical products ranging from vaccines to anaesthetics, as well as more general products such as solid dose tablets and capsules.

Since BNM is under the control of Amdipharm Mercury Limited, the results of the acquired business will be included from the date of acquisition in the statement of comprehensive income. Full disclosure of this acquisition under IFRS 3 will be included within the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.

On 8 September 2015, the Group’s ultimate controlling party, Cinven, announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Group to Concordia Healthcare Corp. (“Concordia”) for US$3.5 billion to be paid through a combination of cash, common shares of Concordia, and performance-based earn-out payable in cash. The acquisition has been approved by the Board of Directors of both Concordia and Cinven, and is strongly supported by the Amdipharm Mercury Limited management team.

Independent Auditors’ Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

To the Board of Directors

Amdipharm Mercury Limited

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Amdipharm Mercury Limited as at 30 June 2015, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six month period then ended, and notes to the interim financial information (“the condensed consolidated interim financial information”). Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed consolidated interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, ‘‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information as at 30 June 2015 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION

Concordia Healthcare Corp. (“Concordia” or the “Company”) is an integrated healthcare company that targets three areas: (a) legacy pharmaceutical products; (b) specialized healthcare distribution that services the growing diabetic market; and (c) the acquisition and/or development of orphan drugs. These three business units are run as separate divisions but are inter-related.

On October 21, 2015 (the “Closing Date”) the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of 100% of the outstanding shares of Amdipharm Mercury Limited (“AMCo”) from Cinven, a European private equity firm, and certain other sellers (collectively the “Vendors”).

AMCo is an international specialty pharmaceutical company, owning a diversified portfolio of branded and generic prescription products, which are sold to wholesalers, hospitals and pharmacies in over 100 countries. AMCo is focused on the acquisition and development of off-patent prescription medicines in selected therapeutic areas. AMCo’s medicines are manufactured and sold through an out-sourced production and distribution network and marketed internationally through a combination of direct sales and local partnerships.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company also reflect adjustments to the historical financial statements to give effect to the acquisition of a portfolio of products (the “Covis Portfolio”) from Covis Pharma S.à r.l. and Covis Injectables S.à r.l. (collectively “Covis”) completed on April 21, 2015 (the “Covis Acquisition”) and the acquisitions of Donnatal® and Zonegran® completed on May 15, 2014 and September 30, 2014, respectively (collectively, the “Pharmaceutical Assets”).

Concordia acquired AMCo for cash consideration of approximately £800 million (with a value at closing of $1.24 billion), 8.49 million common shares of the Company (with a value at closing of $230.8 million) and daily interest of £272,801 that accrued from June 30, 2015 to October 21, 2015 (with a value at closing of $47.6 million). In addition, the Company will pay to the Vendors a maximum cash earn-out of £144 million (with an estimated value at closing of $207.9 million) based on AMCo’s future gross profit over a period of 12 months from October 1, 2015 for a total estimated purchase price $1.72 billion. If the Company acquires certain specified pharmaceutical products from a specified third party introduced to the Company by certain of the Vendors within 12 months of the date of the Acquisition, the Company will pay to the Vendors an additional US$72 million. In addition, as part of the purchase commitment the Company was required to repay on the Closing Date AMCo’s existing senior secured facilities in the respective principal amounts of £581 million and €440 million plus accrued interest and related cross-currency swaps (with a value at closing of US$1.4 billion).

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared based upon currently available information and assumptions deemed appropriate by management. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are provided for information purposes only and may not be indicative of the results that would have occurred if the above transactions had been effected on the dates indicated. The accounting for certain of the above transactions will require the determination of fair value estimates at the date of the transactions. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final accounting for these transactions may occur and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

  e. Debt and equity financing transactions directly attributable to the Acquisition and the prior acquisitions of the Pharmaceutical Assets.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the impact of potential cost savings and other synergies.

4. PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION – AMCO

The Acquisition is considered to be a business combination under IFRS 3 with Concordia as the acquirer and AMCo as the acquiree. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with IFRS 3. Accordingly, the purchase price calculations and purchase price allocations are dependent upon fair value estimates and assumptions as at the Acquisition date. In certain instances adequate information is not available at the time of the preparation of these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements to perform a final estimate of fair value. The Company will finalize all amounts as it obtains the information necessary to complete the measurement process, which, pursuant to IFRS 3, will be no later than one year from the Acquisition date.

Certain pro forma adjustments contained herein are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. Differences between preliminary estimates and final amounts may occur and these differences could be material to the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Company’s future performance and financial position.

The preliminary purchase price allocation to the following identifiable assets and liabilities is based on their estimated fair values:

The purchase consideration for the Acquisition of $1,721,492 includes estimated contigent consideration of $207,858. As agreed upon with the Vendors, the Company has agreed to pay an additional amount equal to three times the amount by which the total actual gross contribution of certain specified products exceeds $374,387 (£242,400) for the period of October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2016, provided that such amount shall not in any event exceed $222,408 (£144,000). The Company estimates that the targeted gross contribution will be achieved, and accordingly, has accrued $207,858 representing the present value of the expected future cash outflow.

In addition, if the Company acquires certain specified pharmaceutical products from a specified third party introduced to the Company by certain of the Vendors within 12 months of the date of the Acquisition, the Company will pay to the Vendors an additional $72,000.

The equity consideration of 8,490,000 shares included in the purchase consideration has been determined using a share price of $27.19, which reflects the NASDAQ share price of the Company on October 20, 2015.

  b. To finance the Acquisition, the Company raised funds through an equity issuance, which resulted in adjusting the unaudited pro forma balance sheet as follows:

 

Equity net of issuance costs

  

Issuance of equity

   $ 520,000   

Less: equity issuance costs

     (20,500
  

 

 

 

Total

   $ 499,500   
  

 

 

 

Gross proceeds from the issuance of equity of $520,000 reflects the issuance of 8,000,000 shares at a price of $65, which was completed on September 30, 2015.

 

  c. To finance the Acquisition, the Company entered into agreements relating to term loans, senior unsecured debt and equity bridge loans totalling $2,842,250 as follows:

 

Debt financing facilities    Principal     

Term

US denominated term loan

   $ 1,100,000       6 years

GBP denominated term loan

   £ 500,000       6 years

Senior unsecured debt

   $ 790,000       7 years

Extended bridge loan

   $ 135,000       7 years

Equity bridge loan

   $ 45,000       2 years

As part of the debt financing facilities the Company entered into two bridge loans of $45,000 and $135,000, respectively, for an aggregate total amount of $180,000. The $45,000 equity bridge loan carries a two-year maturity and an interest rate of 9.5%. The $135,000 extended bridge loan carries a maturity of seven years and an interest rate of 9.5% for two years. If the $135,000 extended bridge loan is not paid off by the Company in two years then the interest rate will increase to 11.5% and the lenders holding the extended bridge loans will have the right to convert the extended bridge loans into a five year bond with an interest rate of 11.5%.

The weighted average interest rate of the debt financings is approximately 6.9%.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet has been adjusted by $2,694,250 to reflect the above-noted debt facilities of $2,842,250 less estimated related financing costs of $148,000.

As a result of issuing the aforementioned financing facilities, the unaudited pro forma consolidated income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2014 include adjustments to increase interest and accretion expense by $110,010 and $216,710, respectively.

 

  d. The term loans described in note 6(c) replaced the Company’s previous term loan outstanding of $575,000. The Company will treat the refinancing as an extinguishment in accordance with IAS 39 Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement and will expense the remaining unamortized financing costs of $19,090.


Table of Contents

Consequently, the unaudited pro forma consolidated income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2014 include adjustments of $13,530 and $30,094, respectively, to reduce interest and accretion expense for the extinguished term loan.

 

  e. Upon acquisition of AMCo, the Company was required to settle approximately $1,399,783 of AMCo’s outstanding debt facilities and $45,902 of financial liabilities acquired. As a result, the unaudited pro forma consolidated income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2014 include adjustments of $89,597 and $160,194, respectively, to reduce interest and accretion expense for the repayment of these liabilities.

Additionally, the unaudited pro forma consolidated income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2014 include adjustments to eliminate the foreign exchange gains related to the translation of AMCo’s debt facility denominated in Euros of $52,139 and $15,055, respectively.

 

  f. The Company’s retained earnings has been decreased by $40,400 for the estimated transaction costs expected to be incurred related to the Acquisition.

7. ACQUISITION OF PHARMACEUTICAL ASSETS AND RELATED PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

During the year ended December 31, 2014 and during the second quarter of 2015, the Company acquired the Pharmaceutical Assets. For purposes of presenting pro forma consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company has recorded the following pro forma adjustments related to the acquisition of the Pharmaceutical Assets:

 

  a. The unaudited pro forma consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2014 includes an adjustment to decrease interest and accretion expense by $10,523 incurred by Covis on debt that was not assumed by the Company as part of the Covis Acquisition.

 

  b. The unaudited pro forma consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2014 includes an adjustment to decrease interest and accretion expense incurred by the Company related to its credit facilities with GE Capital Canada Finance Inc. of $6,332. These credit facilities were retired as part of the financing related to the Covis Acquisition.

 

  c. The unaudited pro forma consolidated income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2014 include adjustments to increase interest and accretion expense to reflect the impact of the term loans and senior notes that were incurred to fund the acquisition of certain of the Pharmaceutical Assets. For the purposes of the unaudited pro forma consolidated income statements it is assumed that the term loans and senior notes were issued on January 1, 2014. The following table details the calculations of the adjustments related to interest expense:

The statements also include adjustments to increase amortization expense by $11,956 and $47,822, respectively. These adjustments represent the amortization that Concordia would have recognized in each period assuming that the acquired product rights of Covis of $1,195,560 were amortized over a period of 25 years. As noted in the audited financial statements of Concordia, the Company amortizes intangible assets over a period of 15 – 30 years. The Company is continuing to assess and review the fair value of net assets acquired pursuant to the acquisition of the Covis Portfolio and finalize the associated purchase price accounting including the valuation of intangible assets acquired. As part of the valuation the Company will also determine the useful life of each of the products acquired. As a result, the actual amortization expense recognized by the Company could vary significantly from the amounts used in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements.

 

  g. The unaudited pro forma consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2014 includes an adjustment to increase amortization expense by $8,696. This adjustment represents amortization of the acquired product rights from the acquisitions of Donnatal® and Zonegran® that Concordia would have recognized in 2014 during the period prior to Concordia’s acquisition of these assets. The following table details the calculation of the adjustment to amortization expense:
