Independent Auditors’ Report

To: the Management of Banner Pharmacaps Europe B.V.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Banner Pharmacaps Europe B.V. which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flows for the years then ended and the notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s responsibility

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Furthermore, management is responsible for such internal control as it determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Dutch Law, including the Dutch Standards on Auditing. This requires that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the 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 financial statements.

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

1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies   

Business – Banner Pharmacaps Europe B.V. (the “Company”), is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Vion Holding N.V.

 

The Company manufactures soft elastic gelatin capsules, primarily containing prescription and non-prescription pharmaceuticals, vitamins and dietary supplements.

 

Foreign Currency Translation – Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with local functional currencies are translated to United States dollars at year-end exchange rates. Revenues and expenses of foreign subsidiaries are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. The effects of translation are recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of stockholders’ equity.

 

Transactions denominated in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate in effect at the transaction date. Gains and losses arising from subsequent fluctuations in exchange rates are included in other income.

      Revenue Recognition – Revenue is recognized when products are shipped or delivered to the customer (based on shipping terms) and ownership has been transferred to the customer. Customers are primarily located within Europe.
      Distributor Agreements – The Company has agreements with various distributors that allow the Company to share in product profits. The Company recognizes these profits once the distributor ships the product and title passes to their customer.

LOGO

 

1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)    Shipping and Handling Charges – Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs are included in net sales. Related freight out expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses and amounted to approximately $136,514 and $180,221 in 2010 and 2009, respectively.
     

 

Trade Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk – Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. Substantially all of the Company’s trade receivables are from pharmaceutical and biotech companies, as well as retail organizations. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral.

 

Management reviews accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve based on management’s assessment of their customers’ overall financial position. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. The Company has a limited number of customers with individually large amounts due at any given balance sheet date. (See Note 9 for major customers.) Any unanticipated change in one of those customers’ credit worthiness, or other matters affecting the collectability of amounts due from such customers, could have a material effect on the results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occur. Based on all available information, management believes the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. However, actual write-offs might exceed the recorded allowance.

     

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company deposits its cash in several financial institutions. The balances at times may exceed insured limits.

 

Inventories – Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

     

 

Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets by the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and by

 

10


LOGO

 

      accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Assets are depreciated for financial reporting purposes based on estimated useful lives as follows: Buildings and improvements (25-40 years); Machinery, equipment and other assets (5-12 years).

LOGO

 

1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)    Long-Lived Assets – Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets. When any such impairment exists, the related assets will be written down to fair value. No impairment charges were incurred for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
      Intangible Assets – The Company amortizes its finite lived intangible assets, primarily trademarks, over the estimated useful life of 7 years.
      Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. At December 31, 2010, the recorded value of the Company’s related party loans, bank notes payable and long-term debt approximate their fair values based on the variable interest rates and the current rates available to the Company for debt of similar remaining maturities.
      Income Taxes – Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740 “ASC 740” prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken

1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Concluded)    or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosures. The Company’s policy is to classify any interest or penalties recognized in accordance with ASC 740 as income tax expense.
     

 

Research and Development Expenses – Research and development (R&D) costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses consist of the Company’s proprietary R&D efforts.

     

 

Advertising Costs – Costs for newspaper, television, radio and other media are expensed as incurred. The costs for these types of advertising were approximately $0 and $0 in 2010 and 2009.

     

 

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) – Other comprehensive income (loss) includes translation adjustments arising from the translation of the assets and liabilities of the Company into US Dollars.

     

 

Comparative Financial Statements – Certain 2009 amounts have been classified to conform to the 2010 presentation.

     

 

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     

 

Subsequent Events – Management has evaluated events occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date through January 31, 2011, the date that the financial statements were available to be issued determining no events require adjustment to or additional disclosure in the financial statements.

5.    Income Taxes   

The Company is part of a group that files consolidated tax returns. Taxes are allocated to the Company as if that entity filed its own income tax returns.

 

Income tax benefit consists of foreign deferred taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

      Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax liabilities and assets are as follows:

 

December 31,

   2010     2009  

Intangibles & tangibles

   $ 73,112      $ 64,823   

Accrued pension expenses

Total long-term deferred tax liability versus asset

   $ (200,475   $ 339,971   
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

     The Company’s effective rate of income tax differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the different foreign income tax rates.
     The Company adopted the standards on uncertainty in income taxes ASC 740, on January 1, 2009. ASC 740 prescribes a threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest, penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosures. The adoption of these standards did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     In the last years the Company hasn’t be subject to income tax examinations.
6.   Related Party Loans    The loans consist of $2.3 million in two notes to companies affiliated by common ownership. Interest is charged at LIBOR plus 1.5% totaling 1.79% at December 31, 2010 and 1.8% at December 31, 2009. No accrued interest is included in amounts due to related parties in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

7.    Related Party Transactions

An administration charge of $633,000 and $577,200 from the Company’s Parent was recorded in 2010 and 2009. These charges are included in the selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income.

8.    Loans to Related Parties    There were no loans to related parties at December 31, 2010 or 2009.

Subsequently, the present value of this obligation is calculated.

 

The funded status of this plan is as follows:

10.    Defined Benefit Plans (Continued)    The Company’s expected long-term return on plan assets assumption is based on a periodic review and modeling of the plans’ asset allocation and liability structure over a long-term period. Expectations of returns for each asset class are the most important of the assumptions used in the review and modeling and are based on comprehensive reviews of historical data and economic/financial market theory. The expected long-term rate of return on assets was selected from within the reasonable range of rates determined by (1) historical real returns, net of inflation, for the asset classes covered by the investment policy and (2) projections of inflation over the long-term period during which benefits are payable to plan participants.

14.    Recent Accounting Pronouncements    In June 2009, the FASB amended existing guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities to address the elimination of the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity. This guidance eliminated the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE) and identifies the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise that has both the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The guidance requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Additionally, enhanced disclosures are required for any enterprise that holds a variable interest. The guidance is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009. The guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

14.    Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Concluded)    In April 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-17, Recognition–Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition. The amendments in this Update affect vendors that provide research or development deliverables where one or more payments are contingent upon achieving uncertain future events or circumstances. The Update provides guidance on the criteria that should be met for determining whether the milestone method of revenue recognition is appropriate. The Update is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the implementation of the new standard will have on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
