The establishment of Vistin Pharma – a spin-off from Weifa
In March 2015 the Board of Directors of Weifa ASA proposed to split Weifa AS into two distinct entities: Vistin Pharma AS (B2B and CMO) and Weifa AS (consumer health).
The consumer health and the B2B businesses had common historical roots but few synergies. From a financial and industrial perspective, the split allows each business to pursue its own strategic agenda, and create two companies with clear investment stories.
The transaction was completed on 1 June 2015.
As part of the transaction, Vistin Pharma AS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Vistin Pharma ASA, acquired the B2B business and tablet production assets from Weifa AS for a total cash consideration of NOK 120 million. Vistin Pharma also signed a five-year agreement with Weifa AS for the manufacture of its key pain relief brands, such as Paracet, Ibux and Paralgin forte. Vistin Pharma conducted an equity issue of about NOK 170 million to finance the acquisition and to secure working capital, and the shares of the Company were listed on Oslo Axess on 10 June 2015.
For Vistin Pharma, the split is expected to provide new growth opportunities in the international metformin and opioid markets, and a strong foundation for creating a highly efficient and growing CMO operation, since the company will have a narrower business scope, be more visible, and be less exposed to the risk of strategic compromises across its business units.

Financial review
Vistin Pharma ASA was established in February 2015, and the Group had no operating activities prior to Vistin Pharma AS' acquisition of the B2B business and tablet production assets from Weifa AS on 1 June 2015. Hence, most of the figures presented in the consolidated interim financial statements represent the financial result of the B2B and CMO business acquired from 1 June 2015. There are no comparable historical numbers. Please refer to the section "The establishment of Vistin Pharma" for further details regarding the transaction and subsequent listing of Vistin Pharma on Oslo Axess.
Vistin Pharma ASA (Group)
Profit and loss fourth quarter 2015
Vistin Pharma had total revenue and other income of NOK 104.5 million in the fourth quarter 2015, and EBITDA came to NOK 16.1 million. After adjusting for one-off items relating to the acquisition of the B2B and tablet production assets from Weifa of NOK 8.7 million (see below), the underlying total revenue and other income and EBITDA was NOK 95.8 million and NOK 7.4 million respectively. The EBITDA for the quarter includes NOK 1.7 million in accruals for employee bonuses for 2015.
In the fourth quarter, Vistin Pharma received a cash payment of NOK 11.2 million from the sellers of Weifa AS ("Weifa") to settle a dispute relating to additional environmental costs incurred by Weifa and Vistin Pharma subsequent to the acquisition of Weifa in August 2014, to ensure compliance with existing emission permits at the production plant in Gruveveien, Kragerø. The NOK 11.2 million were paid to Vistin Pharma in accordance with the Business Transfer Agreement between the Company and Weifa, relating to the transfer of the B2B business and tablet production assets to Vistin Pharma from Weifa in 2015. All environmental costs (e.g. waste handling) incurred relating to Vistin Pharma's two production plants have been expensed on an ongoing basis, as part of operating expenses.
The net income relating to the business transfer from Weifa, and included within other income, was NOK 8.7 million, after the write-down of certain sundry balance sheet items relating to the acquisition of the B2B business and tablet production assets from Weifa in June 2015 of NOK 2.5 million.
Depreciation and amortisation were NOK 0.7 million for the fourth quarter. Financial loss was NOK 1.4 million, reflecting realised foreign exchange gain of NOK 1.1 million and unrealised foreign exchange loss of 2.4 million. For the full year 2015 there is a net financial gain of NOK 0.4 million.
Vistin Pharma had an income tax expense of NOK 3.7 million in the fourth quarter.
Net profit for the period was NOK 10.3 million, equal to earnings per share of NOK 0.60.
Cash Flow
Net cash flow from operating activities in the fourth quarter was positive NOK 49.1 million, mainly as a result of net profit before tax of NOK 14 million for the quarter, and a reduction in working capital. Net cash flow from investing activities was negative at NOK 5.2 million, relating to purchase of equipment. Net increase in cash and cash equivalents amounted to NOK 43.9 million for the period.
Financial position
Vistin Pharma had total assets of NOK 260.3 million as of 31 December 2015. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to NOK 62.0 million.
Total equity at 31 December 2015 was NOK 186.2 million, corresponding to an equity ratio of 71.5 percent.
Vistin Pharma had no interest-bearing debt as of 31 December 2015.
The Board will recommend for the annual general meeting to approve a dividend of NOK 10.5 million, equal to NOK 0.60 per share.
Operational review
Vistin Pharma has three business areas: metformin B2B, opioids B2B and CMO tablet manufacturing. Operations are partly shared between the two B2B areas. The company accordingly reports on two distinct segments: B2B and CMO. The CMO segment started operations on 1 June 2015 and has no comparable figures for previous periods. The segment currently consists of the CMO agreement with Weifa AS. Operations in the B2B segment represent a continuation of activities previously reported by Weifa ASA. Since Vistin Pharma was established in 2015, proforma historical figures have been included to provide a better understanding of operational developments. However, these figures are based on data from Weifa ASA and reflect a different corporate structure and cost base, which means they are not directly comparable.
B2B
Vistin Pharma is a recognised supplier of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and finished dosage forms (FDFs) to the global pharmaceutical industry. The B2B offering is based on two key product areas: metformin and opioids. Metformin is an API used in firstline treatment of type 2 diabetes. Opioids are used in pain treatment as well as in cough suppressants. The APIs are produced at Vistin Pharma's two manufacturing plants in Kragerø (Fikkjebakke and Gruveveien) in southern Norway. Vistin Pharma's B2B customers are reputable international pharmaceutical companies.
Total revenue for the B2B segment in the fourth quarter was NOK 61.9 million, compared to NOK 64.4 million in the same quarter last year (reported as part of Weifa). For the full year 2015 the total revenue was NOK 255.3 million, compared to NOK 242.2 million last year.
The increase in revenue for the full year is principally explained by strong demand for metformin from new and existing customers, as well as favourable exchange rates, which more than offset lower volumes for opioids. Prices for opioids were stable, despite a tough price pressure and fierce competition in the global market for these products.
Significant fluctuations are typically experienced in B2B sales volumes during the year. However, underlying growth in the B2B segment is strong. Part of the B2B revenues is recognised outside the metformin and opioids product areas and relates to such aspects as the
sale of raw materials. This makes total B2B revenues higher than the sum of metformin and opioid business area revenues.
In order to improve business profitability, Vistin Pharma continuously seeks to achieve operational excellence, in part through capacity, quality and cost improvement programs. In addition, it focuses on business development and strategic partnership opportunities to continue growing the business.
Metformin
Following a large sales volume in the third quarter, Vistin Pharma had less volume available for sale in the fourth quarter, resulting in a 25 percent volume reduction in the quarter, compared to the same quarter last year. However, for the full year 2015, sales volume increased by approximately 4 percent compared to last year and all manufactured volume was sold.
Revenue from metformin was NOK 40.9 million for the quarter, only marginally down from the same period last year. Metformin sales for the full year 2015 were NOK 172.9 million, up 13.1 percent from last year. This is the fifth year in a row with double digit growth for the metformin business, and the demand in 2015 exceeded the Group's current production capacity.
Vistin Pharma continues to find that the quality of its metformin products, its service and delivery performance are competitive advantages and drivers for increased sales, and the Group is experiencing a strong underlying growth. Key drivers are continued volume growth from existing multinational customers and successful market expansion in Japan.
As of 31 December 2015, Vistin Pharma had already sales contracts covering approximately 90 percent of its metformin production capacity in 2016.
Vistin Pharma's metformin strategy is to become the dominant supplier of metformin API to customers in the premium product segments. Vistin Pharma is experiencing strong interest from both existing and potential new Japanese clients following the registration of a metformin Drug Master File (DMF) in Japan in the first half of 2015. As a result, Vistin Pharma's sales volume to Japan has more than doubled from 2014. Vistin Pharma signed an agreement with a distribution agent for the US market in the fourth quarter. This is an important milestone in establishing Vistin Pharma on the large US metformin market. Establishing Vistin Pharma as a key supplier in premium markets, like Japan and the USA, is a key objective for the Group going forward.
Vistin Pharma provides some of the purest and most free-flowing metformin qualities. A freeflowing product is easier to process into tablets than an API which has hardened. The Group's plant at Fikkjebakke is dedicated to manufacturing metformin. It is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Vistin Pharma is currently the only European company with a listed metformin Drug Master File (DMF) in the USA, another premium market, which is the focus of Vistin Pharma.
The Group filed a DMF for Metformin DC (direct compressible) in the USA in the fourth quarter.
According to Vistin Pharma's estimates, the Group currently controls about eight percent of the global metformin market with its annual manufacturing capacity of 3,000 metric tonnes.
Vistin Pharma is in ongoing discussions with potential new customers globally for long-term supply agreements for both HCl and DC, and the Group is in the process of carrying out a feasibility study for the possible expansion of the Fikkjebakke, which could double the current production capacity.
Opioids
The price pressure experienced in the opioid market continued in the fourth quarter, mainly explained by high raw material inventories. Price pressure is expected also in 2016. Vistin Pharma, as part of its strategy plan, has signed a long-term competitive supply agreement with a raw material supplier, which will enable the Group to maintain its margins in a challenging market.
Opioids revenue for the fourth quarter was NOK 19.7 million, compared to NOK 21.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Revenue for the full year was NOK 80.5 million, a reduction of 2.2 percent from 2014. The slight fall in revenue is partly explained by delayed orders from customers due to outstanding regulatory issues following the transfer of the B2B business from Weifa.
Revenue from the sale of codeine tablets constituted approximately 24 percent of the Opioid revenue for the full year 2015, compared to approximately 5 percent in 2014.
The plant in Gruveveien manufactures opioid APIs, as well as finished dose tablets. Vistin Pharma serves the global market for opioid APIs with two key products; codeine (used in strong painkillers and cough medicine) and pholcodine (used in cough medicine). It also produces finished dose painkiller combination tablets such as Paralgin forte (paracetamol plus codeine) for Weifa and codeine and codeine combination products for a UK B2B customer.
According to management estimates, Vistin Pharma has a global share of about seven percent of the codeine API market with its annual production capacity of 30+ metric tonnes. About half of the global market is defined as closed markets with import restriction, which Vistin Pharma is currently unable to enter. These include among others USA, South Africa, France and Spain.
The production volume at the Gruveveien opioids synthesis plant was 21.2 metric tonnes for the full year 2015, a decrease of 6.7 metric tonnes from last year, and the total capacity utilisation was 71 percent for the period.
CMO
The CMO tablet manufacturing business produces finished products through an agreement with Weifa, at the Gruveveien multipurpose tablet facility.
Vistin Pharma has a five-year agreement with Weifa AS for the manufacture of its key pain relief brands, such as Paracet, Ibux and Paralgin forte. This currently represents the Group's main CMO activity. The Weifa contract is expected to provide annualised revenues of about NOK 110–120 million.
CMO tablet manufacturing was not established as a separate business area until 1 June 2015. However, the Vistin Pharma organisation has produced finished dose tablets for Weifa and other external customers for many years, when it was part of Weifa. The Group is therefore an
Market developments
B2B
Metformin tablets are the most widely prescribed diabetes medication in the world. Type 2 diabetes, known as age, or lifestyle related, is a major global epidemic. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), more than 387 million people are estimated to be living with this condition today. The number is expected to increase to 592 million by 2035. The metformin market is expected to grow by seven-eight percent per annum for many years to come. Global diabetes healthcare costs amounted to USD 612 billion in 2014, representing 11% of total healthcare costs worldwide in 2014. These costs are projected to exceed USD 627 billion by 2035. Closed to 5 million people died from diabetes last year.
The market is very competitive, with manufacturers mainly from India and China, and approximately 65 percent of the global metformin volume is currently produced in India. Many producers of metformin are operating multipurpose facilities, and there is an underlying unused capacity among the metformin producers that can absorb the growing demand for metformin. Vistin Pharma is focusing on customers in the "protected application" and "large account professional generics" market segments, and finds that experienced CMO. Revenue for this segment was NOK 33.9 million for the fourth quarter, and the corresponding EBITDA was NOK 3.6 million. The revenue and the EBITDA for the third quarter was NOK 27.7 million and NOK 1.1 million respectively. The production and sales volumes and EBITDA for the full year are approximately in line with the assumptions that formed the basis in the CMO agreement with Weifa.
The current production capacity is estimated to be approximately 650 million tablets. Vistin Pharma's target is to increase the current capacity by approximately 50 percent through an operational excellence program, which was initiated in 2H 2015. The additional capacity will be filled through increased volume from existing and new CMO customers.
customers in Europe, Japan and other developed economies value suppliers with short lead times, high quality products, agile operations and regularity of supply.
The global opioid sector is a protected market, tightly controlled by the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB). Several major markets are also subject to import quotas. Growth in the use of opioids is stable worldwide and demand, measured by defined daily doses, has increased more than threefold over 20 years (corresponding to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5 percent). Emerging countries represent the biggest expansion potential, as rising wealth drives demand for pain medication. China and India are expected to be the fastest growing opioids markets by 2020.
According to INCB, global consumption of opioids for pain relief is unevenly distributed with the US, Western Europe and Oceania, representing only 17 percent of the global population, consuming 92 percent of the volume. Global manufacturing of codeine API has grown by about 6.4 percent annually to more than 400MT. About 70 percent of the volume is consumed as codeine, while roughly 20 percent is used to make other APIs.
European opioid API suppliers are few in number. Vistin Pharma's main competitors have access to their own raw materials, and a small number of raw material producers control most of the global supply. Vistin Pharma is the largest independent company with both inhouse API and tablet manufacturing capabilities and competencies (forward integrated).
CMO
Vistin Pharma will seek to increase tablet manufacturing volumes, acting as an independent supplier of generic FDFs to the global generic and proprietary pharmaceutical industry by establishing itself as an FDF contract development and manufacturing organisation (CDMO) strategic partner. According to Mordor Intelligence LLP (Global Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Market), the global CMO market is estimated at USD 41 billion and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10 – 11 percent by 2017. Key growth drivers are; outsourcing by companies that do not see supply chain as a core business area, margin pressure in both the innovative and generic pharma market, and pharma industry consolidation leading to post-merger cost saving initiatives.
The Group's focus on maintaining operational excellence to make the supply chain costcompetitive, expand product offerings, and grow volumes and customer base in order to capture additional economies of scale, continues.
Risks and uncertainties
Vistin Pharma is exposed, as a pharmaceutical manufacturing company, to several types of risks, where fluctuations in the price and availability of raw materials and the development in foreign exchange (USD and EUR) are among the most prominent. Risk management is therefore a priority area for the Group.
In addition, risk related to regulatory changes and environmental issues with ongoing investigations concerning emissions and emission permits represent central risk factors for the Group.
The Group has currently only one customer, Weifa, in the CMO segment, and any material reduction in the sales of Weifa products produced by Vistin Pharma will have a negative impact on the financial results of the CMO segment.
For further information, please refer to chapter 2 of the prospectus dated 22 May 2015, available on the Group's website www.vistin.com.
Transactions with related parties
In April 2015, Vistin Pharma entered into a fiveyear exclusive contract manufacturing agreement with Weifa AS for the production of all tablets formerly produced in-house by Weifa AS, for sale through its consumer health segment, and certain products for third parties, which Weifa AS has the exclusive right to sell in certain geographical areas (i.e. metformin, strong pain killers). The contract includes an option to extend the agreement for another two years. Neither party can fully or partially terminate the contract during the initial fiveyear period, unless the other party commits a material breach, as defined in the agreement, or certain defined events occur. The agreement was negotiated between the two parties and an external lawyer and is considered to be on arms-length terms. However, the contract was based on an "open-book" principle, since Weifa AS had insight into the production costs at the time the contract was entered into. For further information, please see chapter 5.5 of the prospectus dated 22 May 2015, available on the Group's website at www.vistin.com.
Outlook
The metformin business is experiencing growing demand owing to the overall market developments and because of Vistin Pharma's position as a high-quality producer. Vistin Pharma expects this trend to continue during 2016.
Long-term drivers for the opioid market indicate an attractive future growth potential. In the short-term, however an ongoing price pressure in the global opioid market may affect prices and volumes for Vistin Pharma. This will be partly offset by the recent supply agreement signed with a raw-material producer, securing raw-materials at competitive prices going forward.
The Group's strategy is to grow its business significantly going forward, through investments in internal capacity expansion, initiation of operational excellence programs and through potential M&A opportunities. Any potential investments will be financed through an optimised structure of debt and new equity.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statement
1. Basis of presentation
The financial information is prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" ("IAS 34"), and according to the group accounting principles as described in this report. The figures are unaudited.
The Vistin Pharma ASA Group was established when the owner of Vistin Pharma ASA, Weifa ASA, established Vistin Pharma ASA as a fully owned subsidiary and sold the B2B business and tablet production assets of its subsidiary Weifa AS to Vistin Pharma AS, a subsidiary of Vistin Pharma ASA. The purchase of these assets were subject to the completion of an equity issue of NOK 170 million, which, when completed, resulted in a change of control over Vistin Pharma. The acquisition of these assets has thus been accounted for using the acquisition method.
Vistin Pharma ASA was subsequently listed on Oslo Axess under ticker VISTIN.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Consolidation principles
The Group's consolidated financial statements comprise Vistin Pharma ASA, and companies in which Vistin Pharma ASA has a controlling interest. A controlling interest is normally obtained when the Group owns more than 50% of the shares in the Group and can exercise control over the Group. Noncontrolling interest are included in the Group's equity.
The acquisition method is applied when accounting for business combinations. Companies which have been bought or sold during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date when control is achieved and until the date when control ceases.
The acquirer's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date, except for non-current assets that are classified as held for sale and recognised at fair value less cost to sell, and deferred tax assets and liabilities which are recognised at nominal value.
Any Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset measured at the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the fair value of any previously held equity interests and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquire over the net amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the Group's interest in the net fair value of the acquirer's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the total consideration of the business combination, the excess is recognised in the income statement immediately.
Segment reporting
The Board of Directors is the Group's chief decision-maker. Management has determined the operating segments based on the information received by the Board of Directors for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing performance.
Following the acquisition of the B2B Business and tablet production asset from Weifa AS the Group's main operation relates to two main business areas; CMO and B2B (Business-to-business). There are two main production segments within B2B; Metformin and Opioids, however these are partly shared operations with the same sale force and are not considered separate operating segments. The segments B2B and CMO thus comprise the basis for primary segments.
Segment performance is measured by operating profit before depreciation, amortization and impairment (EBITDA), as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by management.
Foreign currency translation
The Group's presentation currency is NOK. This is also the parent Company's functional currency.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the Group's entities using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the reporting date.
Sales of goods
The Group manufactures and sells a range of pharmaceutical products to other pharmaceutical companies and industrial markets. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of goods and when there are no unfulfilled obligations that could affect the customer's acceptance of the products. Delivery is governed by the sales contacts, but usually occurs when the products have been shipped from the warehouse. However, in some instances, at the request of customers, goods are invoiced and held in the Group's warehouse, at the customers' risk, for shipment at a later date.
Balance sheet classification
The Group presents assets and liabilities in consolidated statement of financial position on current/non-current classification. An asset is current when it is expected to be realised or intended to sold or consumed in normal operating cycle, held primarily for the purpose of trading, expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is current when it is expected to settle in normal operating cycle, it is held for primarily for the purpose of trading, it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Property, plant and equipment
Land, buildings and fixtures comprise mainly production facilities in Kragerø, acquired from Weifa AS. The production facilities are used in production of pharmaceutical products sold by Vistin Pharma.
Other equipment is mainly made up of machines used in production, as well as office related equipment and vehicles.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost, less depreciation and/or impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Costs accrued for major replacements and upgrades to equipment are added to cost if it is probable that the costs will generate future economic benefits and if the costs can be reliably measured. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement when incurred.
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated on a straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Buildings and fixtures: 20 - 25 years
Other equipment: 3 - 10 years
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of production and lab equipment and other equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted, if appropriate.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's net sales value and its value in use.
An item of equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is derecognised.
Financial assets
Classification
Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 have been classified as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss or loans and receivables. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. The Group's financial assets include cash and short-term deposits, and trade and other receivables.
The Group's financial assets have mainly been classified as loans and receivables. These are nonderivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss would include financial assets held for trading. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the short term. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months, otherwise they are classified as non-current.
Recognition and measurement
All financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs, except financial assets carried at fair value through profit and loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit and loss are initially recognised at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement.
Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are after initial measurement carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in finance income in the income statement. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the income statement as finance cost for loans and in other operating expenses for receivables.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or Group of financial assets is impaired
For loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. The loss is recognised in the consolidated income statement
Derivative financial instruments
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. Gains or losses on financial instruments not designated as a hedging instrument is recognised in the income statement. The Group has no financial instruments designated as hedging instruments for the current financial year.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less variable selling expenses.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for products sold in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash at banks and on hand, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the consolidated balance sheet, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
Equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Financial liabilities - recognition and subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities within the scope of IAS 39 have been classified as financial liabilities measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Group determines the classification of its financial liability at initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings, net of direct attributable transactions costs. The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, borrowings, and currency swap derivatives. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expire.
Trade payables
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade payables are recognised initially at the original invoice amount, with the addition of any accrued interest.
Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium and costs that are an integral part of the EIR method. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of comprehensive income.
Current and deferred income tax
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and taxation authority.
Employee benefits
The Group has defined contribution plans for all employees. In addition they operate unfunded defined benefit plans for the CEO.
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions to pension insurance plans. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions in the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefit relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or reduction in future payments is available.
Defined benefit plans typically defines an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less
VISTIN PHARMA ASA – FOURTH QUARTER REPORT 2015
the fair value of plan assets. As the Group operates an unfunded defined benefit plan, they have no plan assets. The pension obligation is funded through the Group's operations.
The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The current service cost of the defined benefit plan, recognised in the income statement in employee benefit expense, reflects the increase in the defined benefit obligation resulting from employee service in the current year, benefit changes and curtailments and settlements.
Past-service costs are recognised immediately in income.
The interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the balance of the defined benefit obligation. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the income statement.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of the money and the risks specific to the obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pretax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Reimbursement of costs incurred
Under the terms of production, partnering and/or licensing agreements the Group may incur internal or external costs that should be paid by the partner, and payments received from a partner to reimburse these costs are not recorded as revenue, but off-set against the costs incurred.
Leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line-basis over the period of the lease.
Events after the balance sheet date
New information on the Group's positions at the balance sheet date is taken into account in the interim financial statements. Events after the balance sheet date that do not affect the Group's position at the balance sheet date, but which will affect the Group's position in the future, are stated if significant.
