Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Financial Statements – Basis of preparation

1.1 Basis of preparation

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of IBA are for the six months period ended June 30, 2011. They have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as at 31 December 2010.

1.2 Changes to accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010, except for the adoption of new Standards and Interpretations as of 1 January 2011, noted below.

a) Recently issued IFRS

To the extent that new IFRS requirements are expected to be applicable in the future, they have been summarized hereafter. For the six-month period ended 30 June 2011, they have not been applied in preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Standards related to the consolidation of the financial statements:

  • IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements , which replaces IAS 27 and SIC-12;
  • IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements;
  • IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities;
  • IAS 27 (Revised 2011), which has been amended for the issuance of IFRS 10 but retains the current guidance on separate financial statements;
  • IAS 28 (Revised 2011), which has been amended for conforming changes on the basis of the issuance of IFRS 10 and IFRS 11.

Other Standards:

  • IFRS 9 Financial Instruments;
  • IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement;
  • IAS 19 Revised: Employee Benefits.

These standards become mandatory for IBA's 2013 consolidated financial statements. IBA is in the process of evaluating the impact of these new standards. It is anticipated that their application will not have a material impact on IBA consolidated financial statements in the period of initial application.

A number of other new standards, amendment to standards and new interpretations became mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 January 2011, and have not been listed in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements because of either their non-applicability to or their immateriality to IBA's consolidated financial statements.

1.3 Translation of financial statements of foreign operations

All assets (including goodwill) and liabilities, both monetary and non-monetary, are translated at the closing rate. Income and expenses are translated at the rate of the date of the transaction (historical exchange rate) or at an average rate for the month.

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 a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

3.1 Income taxes

The Group has accumulated net operating losses useable to offset future taxable profits essentially in Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom and the United States for € 185 million and for temporary differences amounting to € 90 million at June 30, 2011. The company has recognized deferred tax assets amounting to € 30.9 million on net operating losses at June 30, 2011. The valuation of these assets depends on a number of judgmental assumptions regarding the future probable taxable profits of different group subsidiaries in different jurisdictions. These estimates are made prudently in the limit of the best current knowledge. Where circumstances should change and the final tax outcome would be different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax assets in the period in which such determination is made.

The Group recognizes deferred tax assets on unused tax losses carried forward to the extent that taxable profit will be available against which these assets can be utilized. Estimates of the amount recognizable on the balance sheet are established prudently based on the most recent financial information available from Management and depend on certain judgmental assumptions regarding the future taxable profits of the Group's subsidiaries. The Group's Pharmaceutical business is currently in a phase of heavy investment in research and development of new molecules, with future profits only being generated over a longer period of time. In order to take into account this change in the profile of IBA's business, the Board had decided to extend the period over which estimated taxable profits are considered for recognition of deferred tax assets, from 4 years to 5 years for the pharmaceutical business only - the rule remained unchanged for the equipment business. At June 30, 2011, the estimate of future taxable profits has been considered for a period of 3.5 years for the Equipment business and 4.5 years for the pharmaceutical business.

3.2 Provision for decommissioning costs

The production of Radiopharmaceuticals tracers (Pharmaceutical business segment) generates radiation and results in the contamination of the production site facilities. This situation may require the Group to pay restoration costs to comply with the regulations in these various jurisdictions, as well as with any legal or constructive obligations.

Analysis and estimates are performed by the Group, together with its legal advisers, in order to determine the probability, timing and amount involved with probable required outflow of resources.

Provision has been made for unavoidable costs in connection with decommissioning the sites where radiopharmaceutical agents are produced. These provisions are measured at the net present value of the best estimate of the necessary costs.

At June 30, 2011 the amount of such provisions amounts to € 40.2 million compared to € 39.1 million at December 31, 2010.

The French subsidiary CIS Bio International SAS has held nuclear operator status since December 2008 and as such is required to set aside restricted assets for the future decommissioning and restoration of the nuclear medicine facilities at the site in Saclay, France. At June 30, 2011, these restricted assets amounted to € 33.9 million, compared with € 33.6 million at December 31, 2010.

3.3 Provisions for obligation to take over radioactive equipment and sources

In the context of the gradual disengagement from radioactive source production (production of cobalt and cesium) at the Saclay site in France, a provision has been made to meet obligations for the takeover and disposal of used radioactive sources and certain equipment (irradiators) in France. This provision is valued at the net present value of the most probable estimates of unavoidable costs for the treatment and disposal of these used sources. This provision is discounted based on the estimated plan for source recovery.

At June 30, 2011 the amount of such provisions amounts to € 14.6 million compared to € 16.4 million at December 31, 2010.

3.4 Revenue recognition

Contracts in progress are valued at their cost of production, increased by income accrued as determinate by the stage of completion of the contract activity at the balance sheet date, to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the contract will flow to the Group. This probability is based on judgment. If certain judgmental criteria differ from those used for previously recognized revenues, the Group's income statement is impacted.

When appropriate, the company revises its estimated margin at completion to take into account the assessment of any residual risk arising from this contract over several years. When the final outcome of these uncertainties differs from initial estimations, the Group's income statement is impacted.

3.5 Defined benefit plans

Under defined benefit plans, an employer's obligation is to provide the agreed benefits to current and former employees. The benefits are typically based on such factors as age, length of service and compensation. The actuarial risks and investment risks are retained by the employer. If actuarial or investment experience is different than expected, an employer's obligation may be increased or decreased. Such engagements should be valued and recognized on the balance sheet under IFRS.

Actuarial gains and losses are presented under other comprehensive income.

At June 30, 2011 the amount of provisions for defined benefit plans amounts to € 24.7 million.

The valuation of this provision, based on estimates and judgments made by the Group, is subject to the recurring revision by an external actuarial consultant.

3.6 Estimating the value in use of intangible and tangible fixed assets

The recoverable amounts of tangible and intangible fixed assets are determined on a "value in use" basis. Value in use is determined on the basis of IBA's most recent business plans, as approved by the Board of Directors. These plans incorporate various assumptions made by management and approved by the Board as to how the business, profit margins, and investments will evolve.

3.7 Valuation of private equity instruments

IBA revalues its private equity holdings using either the discounted cash flow method or the share value assigned to them during the most recent rounds of financing.

3.8 Development costs for new molecules

Expenses incurred to prepare the Group's facilities for the future commercialization of new molecules in phase 2 or phase 3 of development are recognized as tangible and intangible assets when management considers it likely that such molecules can be brought to market and that future revenues will offset the development costs incurred. At June 30, 2011, these capitalized expenses stood at EUR 8 million.

4. Segment information

For management purposes, the Group is organized on a worldwide basis into two main operating segments: (1) Equipment and (2) Pharmaceuticals (i.e. businesses related to the radiopharmaceuticals and bio-assays).

The table below provides details of the income statement for each segment. All inter-segment sales are contracted at arms' length.

5. Earnings per share

5.1 Basic

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. The weighted average number of ordinary shares excludes shares purchased by the Company and held as treasury shares.

5.2 Diluted

Diluted earnings per share are calculated adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company has only one category of dilutive potential ordinary shares: share options.

The calculation is performed for the share options to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual market share price of the Company's shares) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding share options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options.

6.9 Contingencies

The Group is currently involved in certain legal proceedings. The potential risks connected with these proceedings are deemed to be insignificant or unquantifiable or, where potential damages are quantifiable, adequately covered by provisions. Developments in litigation pending at end 2010 mentioned in the 2010 annual report are presented in this Note.

a) Litigation with Bayer Schering Pharma AG

During the first semester, the arbitral proceedings against Bayer Schering AG conducted through the AFA (Association Française d'Arbitrage) ended in favor of IBA. As a reminder, in the context of the acquisition of CIS Bio International S.A.S., the parties had agreed that Bayer Schering Pharma AG would pay an additional EUR 4 million in the event that CISBIO obtained the BNF (Basic Nuclear Facility) designation before December 31, 2008. This amount was intended to help CISBIO to set aside the reserves required by law of all BNF-designated facilities to cover any costs for decommissioning their facilities. A French decree of December 15, 2008 conferred BNF status on CISBIO, and Bayer Schering Pharma AG was asked for the EUR 4 million. Bayer Schering Pharma AG refused to pay on the pretext that the law allows the use of means other than cash to establish the guarantee and that its contractual commitment applied only in the case of a mandatory cash reserve. IBA believed that Bayer Schering Pharma AG had no basis for its position and instituted arbitration proceedings for payment through AFA (Association Française d'Arbitrage, French Arbitration Association). The arbitrating authorities finally agreed with IBA and ordered the payment by Bayer to IBA.

Moreover, as part of the takeover of the Japanese activities of the company, the two parties were involved in a legal dispute as Bayer claimed that IBA and the IRE had not respected their obligation as to « reasonable best efforts » in order to guarantee the transfer of the employees concerned by the takeover. In its counterclaim, as part of the arbitration proceedings mentioned above, Bayer claimed payment of YEN 180 076 111 and € 200 000 as severance pay for the employees involved. On this point too, the arbitrating authorities were of the opinion that IBA had accomplished reasonable best efforts and that if only 20 out of the 38 employees had joined IBA, it was due to elements solely attributable to Bayer. As a result, in the framework of these two demands, Bayer was sentenced to pay € 4 million To IBA.

b) Arbitrage initiated against the Westdeutsches Protonentherapiezentrum Essen GmbH

In November 2009, STRIBA Protonentherapiezentrum GmbH, a 50% affiliate of IBA S.A initiated an arbitration procedure against the Westdeutsches Protonentherapiezentrum Essen GmbH ("WPE") in order to determine the exact scope of Striba's contractual obligations under that Public Private Partnership for the delivery of a turnkey Proton therapy center in Essen, Germany.

WPE is disputing the quality of the software equipment for the Proton Therapy Patient Management System proposed by IBA claiming that this system does not represent the latest technology for the treatment of the mobile tumors. IBA introduced the arbitration to get a confirmation (i) that the proposed system is a state of the art system and satisfies the requirements of the functional description of the specification of services relating to the treatment of movable tumors, both in terms of the treatment quality, as well as in terms of the speed of treatment, (ii) that WPE is not entitled to a reduction in leasing fees and (iii) that it be determined that the costs for the development of the Proton Therapy Patient Management System proposed by IBA, to the extent that said costs exceed the budget provided in the Leasing Agreement, be borne by WPE.

Further to this, WPE introduced several other claims against STRIBA, in particular (i) the payment of contractual penalties for delay, (ii) a demand to carry out acceptance tests in addition to those stipulated in the contract, (iii), that the clinical commissioning of the centre be finalized before the start of the rental period (and the payment of the rent) and (iv) several other detailed technical demands with respect to both the equipment delivered by IBA as well as the building. The centre is now complete and has been presented for acceptance by STRIBA to WPE on June 30, 2011. However it appears that WPE may not have the financial means to pay the rent during the clinical commissioning and start-up phase of the centre. The arbitrage proceedings, which had been suspended in order for the parties to find a global agreement on the disputed items, were resumed during the first semester. The next proceedings are expected in September 2011.

% of Sales 2.5% 2.5%
Net result 3,270 2,550 720 28.2%
% of Sales 1.6% 1.4%
    • The 1st half of 2011 was marked by significant growth in Sales and Services driven by the existing order book from year-end 2010 which was further embellished by additional orders made in the 1st first quarter of 2011 in the Equipment segment.
    • As stated in the 2010 year-end guidance, recurring operating income is down significantly compared to the first half of 2010. A large part of this drop can be explained by the investments made as part of the process to change the profile of the Pharmaceutical segment and those aimed at maintaining the leadership of IBA in Proton therapy.
    • The pre-tax profit of EUR 5.1 million is significantly up compared to the first half of 2010.
  • In the first half of 2011, pre-tax profit was influenced by EUR 5.7 million by the positive outcome of a legal dispute that had been going on between IBA and Bayer since 2008 following the acquisition of the radiopharmaceutical activity of the latter.
  • It is important to remember however, that during the 1st half of 2010, the company recorded exceptional costs primarily due to the accelerated depreciation of fixed assets and provisions for potential contractual penalties.
    • The EUR 3.3 million net result posted is therefore an increase of 28.2% compared to the same period in 2010.
    • At June 30, 2011, the company's backlog stood at more than EUR 256 million showing a steady growth over five consecutive semesters.

IBA - International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2011

  • Operating cash flow improved significantly reaching 51.9 million over the first half of 2011. - Net debt amounted to only EUR 2.9 million at June 30, 2011. This represents an improvement of 39 million compared to H1 2010 and 24 million compared to year-end 2010.

7.2 Update on strategic action

At the time of the publication of the 2010 half-yearly and annual reports, the company indicated its desire to pursue initiatives to:

  • Bring value to non-strategic activities through sales or mergers:
  • Extend the network and speed up the search for synergy with global or local partners to meet the needs of the PET and SPECT markets and increase profitability for IBA.
  • Invest in radiopharmaceutical activity using own funds in order to speed up the pace of development of new molecules.

These objectives remain a high priority for the company and various actions have been taken in this regard:

    1. Valuation of non-strategic activities:
  • I. Legal carve-out of of the Bioassay activity from the radiopharmaceutical sector.
  • II. Appointment of a new Chairman with a mandate to consolidate the subsidiary's strategy and operational structure and explore options for opening the capital to industrial or financial investors.
    1. Extension of the network:
  • III. Acquisition of a minority equity stake in the Malaysian company BioMolecular in the first half of 2010 in order to produce and distribute FDG
  • IV. Acquisition of a minority equity stake (25.2%) in PET Net GmbH and PET Net Solutions AG ("PET Net"), which operates two PET production centres in Erlangen and Regensburg in Germany.
  • V. Development of an additional project in the Mumbai region of India.
    1. Search for specific investors in IBA Pharma S.A.:
  • VI. Legal carve-out of the radiopharmaceutical activity from the group activities.
  • VII. Signature of an exclusive agreement with UBS bank for the search and evaluation of potential partnerships
  • VIII. Preparation of audited IFRS pro-forma financial statements
  • IX. Circulation of an information memorandum to a wide selection of potential industrial and financial investors. Discussions are ongoing with a number of investors to date, but may not be concluded until the fourth quarter of 2011.

  • Overall, the segment does not show any growth in sales and services compared to the same period in the previous year. The main factors to be noted are:

Impact of changes in exchange rates: At constant rate, (principally dollar to euro), growth would have been 1%.

Growth in the sales of radiopharmaceutical products at constant exchange rates:

  • US down by 7% mainly due to FDG price erosion.
  • Europe and Asia up mainly thanks to the SPECT business.
  • Bioassays Sales and Services are down 13.9%

  • 5% is accounted for by non-recurring license income received in the first half of 2010.

  • The rest results from the weak sales of Drug Discovery products during the first 6 months of the year.
    • The company is pleased that its traditional pharmaceutical activity generated a REBITDA of almost EUR 12 million in the first half of 2011 More than half of the amount was reinvested in the support, pre-marketing, validation and adaptation of sites for new molecules to be launched from 2012.
    • Therefore, in line with the results of the second half of 2010 and as announced in the company guidance, the half-year result is negative for this segment.
    • Taking into account the revenue from joint ventures in which IBA has invested over recent years (mainly in Canada, Japan and Spain), the operational loss comes to EUR 2.1 million, a marked decrease when compared against the profit of EUR 1.1 million recorded in 2010.
    • In the strategic area of the development of new marked molecules, the first half was characterized by the following developments:
  • In June 2011, during a joint press conference, IBA and its partner WILEX AG commented on the letter from the FDA following the "Pre-BLA meeting" (preparatory meeting for the introduction of the application for marketing authorization of a pharmaceutical product) for REDECTANE®. In summary, to enable WILEX and IBA to strengthen their case for launching the product on the market, the FDA suggested that an "outcome study" be carried out (study involving the use of the product in the doctor's decision making process). WILEX and IBA both agreed that it is quite logical that this outcome study follows the phase III study, finalized to date. However they suggested that this outcome study should be made during a phase IV trial, i.e. after introduction of the product on the market. Discussions are ongoing with the FDA about this. The FDA also discussed manufacturing process issues and requested that the third lot of the antibody Girentuximab being produced on site at Avid Bioservices, Inc., (Tustin, CA) and be made an integral part of the filing (and not submitted in the course of the approval process as hoped) and also requested additional information on the product characterisation and the validation processes by IBA, responsible for the marking of the antibodies. It is important to remember that the phase 3 trial of on the product showed that the PET/CT associated with REDECTANE® leads to a much better diagnosis than with the CT alone. Currently, IBA continues to adapt its installations in order to enable the product to be launched in the United States and then the rest of the world once authorisations for market release have been received. The next meeting with the FDA on this matter is being prepared. It will focus on the proposed new protocol for further clinical trials designed in collaboration with the Medical Advisory Board.
  • As for Aposense®, the other proprietary molecule to which IBA has bought exclusive distribution rights and which makes it possible to analyse the patient's response to cancer treatment more quickly, phase 2 tests are being carried out in the United States as planned.
    • Throughout this half-year, IBA has continued to strengthen and expand its network of production of radiopharmaceuticals used in nuclear imaging. On April 18, the company announced the acquisition of a minority equity stake in PET Net GmbH and PET Net Solutions AG ("PET Net"). According to the agreement, IBA acquired 25.2% of PET Net from its owner Medical Imaging Research Holding GmbH for a cash amount of between EUR 2.5 million and 3 million. PET Net operates two PET production centres in Erlangen and Regensburg in Germany and has marketing authorization for FDG. As a result of this transaction, IBA has the only worldwide PET network, with 57 PET production centres and a state-of-the-art SPECT site. The company can thus directly manage distribution to the United States, Europe and India, and deliver its products to over 60 countries.

    • Sales and Services for the segment were driven by a strong growth in Proton therapy for which the accumulated order book allows the forecasting of a high level of activity in the coming half-year periods.
    • Operating profits are down compared to the first half of 2010. The following explanations should be taken into account:
  • A varied mix of products (software/hardware and large/small systems) over the half-year period.
  • A very high margin of 11.7% during the first half of 2010 due to project budget adjustments reflecting the productivity gains of the experience curve. The 2011 first half margin of 8.0% remains higher than the performance of the second half of 2010, which stood at 7.3%.
  • As announced in the year-end 2010 guidance, for 2011, IBA forecasts a stabilisation of profit for the Equipment segment which will have to support this year's development costs of Proteus ONE(TM). The published results for this half-year period are in line with this trend.

-Proton therapy

  • 2011 began under excellent conditions with one new order and the closing of two others:
  • On 17 January 2011 IBA announced that the Carl Gustav Carus University Hospital at Dresden Technical University in Germany had selected IBA for the installation of a Proton therapy centre with a treatment room equipped with an isocentric gantry and a research room. The contract also includes a long-term maintenance agreement.
  • On 20 January 2011, the funding of the project commissioned by Seattle Procure Management LLC to install a Proton therapy system in Seattle, WA, USA was finalized.
  • On 17 March 2011, during the signing ceremony in Stockholm, IBA announced that the Skandionkliniken, the first cancer centre in Scandinavia devoted to treatment with proton beams, has signed a definitive agreement with IBA for the manufacturing, installation and maintenance of a new proton therapy system. The contract between IBA and Skandionkliniken, which involves the installation of the proton therapy system (2 clinical treatment rooms and 1 research room), is estimated at between EUR 50 and 60 million (including a five-year service contract).
  • Currently, IBA is also carrying out construction or installation work at nine other sites, two in the USA and seven in Europe.

-Accelerators

The first half-year period saw the sale of four industrial accelerators and six cyclotrons. This excellent performance compared with the11 accelerators ordered during the entire year 2010, only three of which were in the first half, reflects on the strength of the activity within IBA.

-Dosimetry

After years of growth above that of its market and an extraordinary 2010, the Dosimetry sector showed a slowdown in growth in the first half of 2011 which should be temporary and is partly due to the low level of orders from Japan following the Fukushima disaster that occurred during this period, and partly to a probable seasonal slowdown in orders from India and the United Kingdom.
