Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2012. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary companies. On consolidation, all inter-entity transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The financial statements are expressed in U.S. funds.

Management has performed an evaluation of the Company’s activities through the date and time these financial statements were issued and concluded that there are no additional significant events requiring recognition or disclosure.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Revenue Recognition and Disclosures

In December 2011, the FASB issued Update No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. The objective of this Update is to provide enhanced disclosures that will enable users of financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position. This includes the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with an entity’s recognized assets and recognized liabilities within the scope of this Update. The amendments require enhanced disclosures by requiring improved information about derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. In January 2013, the FASB also issued Update No. 2013-01, which clarifies that ordinary trade receivables and receivables are not in the scope of ASU 2011-11. ASU 2011-11and ASU 2013-01are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Retrospective disclosure is required for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of this Statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In February 2013, the FASB has issued Update No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. This Update has been issued to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. The amendments in this Update supersede and replace the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASUs 2011 - 05 and 2011 - 12 for all public and private organizations. The amendments would require an entity to provide additional information about reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual), effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this Statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Intangible Assets

As of September 30, 2013 NDA acquisition costs of $87 thousand (December 31, 2012 - $116 thousand) were recorded as intangible assets on the Company’s balance sheet and represent the net book value of the final progress payment related to the acquisition of 100% ownership of Forfivo XL®. The asset is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 39 months. The Company commenced amortization upon commercial launch of the product in October 2012.

Deferred License Revenue

Deferred license revenue represents upfront payments received for the granting of licenses to the Company’s patents, intellectual property, and proprietary technology, for commercialization. Deferred license revenue is recognized in income over the period where sales of the licensed products will occur.

Upon entering into the licensing agreement with Edgemont Pharmaceuticals the Company received an upfront fee of $1 million, which the Company recognized as deferred license revenue. The deferred license revenue is being amortized in income over a period of 39 months, which is the minimum period where sales of Forfivo XL® are expected to be exclusive. As a result of this policy, the Company has a deferred revenue balance of $694 thousand at September 30, 2013 that has not been recognized as revenue.
