2.   Significant accounting policies
 
    The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require 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. The following are the significant accounting policies adopted by the Company:

  (a)   Going concern
 
      These financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue operating is dependent on achieving profitable operations and/or receiving additional development funding. It is the opinion of management that the Company will be a going concern based on additional development funding as described in Note 7.

  (c)   Use of estimates

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Transmucosal Technologies Ltd. as at December 31, 2000 and the related statement of loss, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from July 14, 2000 (Date of Incorporation) to December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with United States generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Transmucosal Technologies Ltd. as at December 31, 2000 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from July 14, 2000 (Date of Incorporation) to December 31, 2000 in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2000

1.   General

Transmucosal Technologies Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Bermuda on July 14, 2000 as Atrix Newco, Ltd. The Company is owned by Atrix Laboratories, Inc. (“Atrix”) and Elan International Services Ltd.(“EIS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elan Corporation plc, holding 80.1% and 19.9% (non-voting shares) of the shares, respectively. On December 14, 2000, the Company changed its name to Transmucosal Technologies Ltd.

The primary objective of the Company is to carry on the business of the development, testing, registration, manufacturing, commercialization, and licensing of “Products” (as defined in the Subscription, Joint Development and Operating Agreement (“JDOA”) dated July 18, 2000) between EIS, Atrix and the Company. The focus of the collaborative venture will be to develop the “Products” using the Elan Intellectual Property, the Atrix Intellectual Property and the Atrix Technology pursuant to the JDOA.

2.   Significant accounting policies

The Company follows accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Significant accounting polices are as follows:

(a)   Going concern

These financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue operating is dependent on achieving profitable operations and/or receiving additional development funding. It is the view of management that the Company will be a going concern based on additional development funding as described in Note 7.

(b)   Research and development costs

Research costs are charged as an expense of the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are deferred to future periods if certain criteria relating to future benefits are satisfied and if the costs do not exceed the expected future benefits.

(c)   Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

6.   Share premium

7.   Development funding

It is estimated that the Company may require an initial research and development budget of approximately $10 million, within the first 24 to 36 months from the date of incorporation, to commence development of the Products based upon the Elan Technology, Atrix Technology and/or Company Technology. The Development Funding shall be applied to the Company’s research and development costs associated with development of the products.
