Note 3 Essential risks and uncertainty factors

An account is given below of a number of risk factors that can affect the development of the company. There has been no attempt to rank these; nor should they be taken to be all inclusive. Risk factors that, in the current situation, have not been identified, or have not been deemed to be important, can affect the company's future development.

Products

Because of the high development costs that are associated with the main business area of the company, there is a risk that the company can be affected if test results of a product turn out to be unsatisfactory.

Side-effects

Since the company's main area of business is in the development of pharmaceuticals, there is a risk that patients that either participate in clinical studies of the company's products, or in some other way, come into contact with the company's products will develop serious side-effects. Side-effects can have a negative effect on the company.

Relations with government agencies

The business operations of Oasmia Pharmaceuticals depend on permits granted by various government agencies, international as well as Swedish. There is a risk that a necessary permit can not be obtained without extensive investigations or an expensive modification of business operations. Oasmia strives for cost efficiency in all aspects of its operations.

Competition

There is keen competition in the field of oncology with many available products. Development is on-going and there is a risk that competitors on the market can affect the company's results.

Financing and collaboration

Oasmia is financed primarily by capital from shareholders and banks. It can not be ruled out that in the future the company will need to acquire additional capital or face worsened interest terms. Nor can the company guarantee that additional capital can be obtained. Moreover, to a certain extent, Oasmia's growth is dependent on establishing collaborative ventures with external partners in the form of industrial contracts and collaborative agreements with international pharmaceutical companies. If important collaborative ventures can not be entered into, are terminated, or do not work satisfactorily, this can have a negative effect on the company. The company's goal is to create firm agreements with its partners and long-term financial growth.

Licenses and agreements

License and Distribution Agreements with other companies contain clauses which states that parts of license revenues received may be subject to repayment by Oasmia. This refers to situations where Oasmia does not obtain product registration within six months after the agreed time or does not provide defined registration documentation within thirty days after registration. In such cases, the licensee may choose to annul the agreement at which all rights will be returned to Oasmia.

Patents

Oasmia has patents for all steps of product development the world over. There is a risk that competitors will violate these patents and that a dispute might arise. This can have a negative effect on the company.

Key persons

Oasmia depends on a highly qualified workforce in order to conduct first-class research. Further, the company depends on being able to continue to recruit competent workers even in the future. There is a risk that there might be a lack of such workers. This can have a negative effect on the company.

Share trading

The company is listed on NGM Equity. If trading liquidity does not develop or become lasting, this can make it difficult for shareholders to sell their shares. There is also a risk that the market price may differ significantly from today's share price.

When transferring to IFRS the company noticed that it had applied the previous accountancy policies in an erroneous way. The errors consist of activating items regarding capitalized expenditures for development and other intangible assets as well as recalculated a hire-purchase agreement according to item a-c below. Corrections of these errors has been carried out in connection to transfer to IFRS. In addition, some smaller errors have been identified during the current financial year mostly concerning the acquisition analysis of GlucoGene Pharma AB, which has also been corrected. The company will for tax 2008 correct these errors in the tax return at which no temporary differences between carried amounts and tax bases will exist.

a) Tangible assets

With access July 1, 2005 the Parent company entered a hire-purchase concerning a facility located in the property where the company has its main business activity. The facility was built by a company active in bioscience and consists of a production facility. The amortization period last to June 30, 2010 a period of five years. Access to the facility was carried out two months after the transfer date to IFRS. During the two latest financial years, the Group had, according to previously applied accountancy policies, accounted the facility as an asset valued to the total value of the payments made at every date. Any depreciations had not been made. The agreement with the seller did not contain any outspoken interest specification and no debt or interest was accounted for by the Group.

When transferring to IFRS the facility is accounted for by the Group in accordance with IAS 16 as a hirepurchase. The facility is disclosed to the cost of acquisition, that is to say, the total discounted amount of all future payments. At the same time a financial liability is accounted for concerning the not yet paid consideration. The financial liability is initially valued to is actual value and thereafter to amortized cost with application of the effective interest method. The financial liability has in the balance sheet been divided into a non-current part and a current part and is accounted for under the item Borrowing. The Group applies component depreciation for this facility, according to IAS 16, where every part of the facility that has a acquisition cost that is significant compared to the total acquisition cost that is depreciated separately.

The transfer to IFRS resulted in the following effects:

  • As of admission the total amount of future payments are accounted for as Borrowing. The liability's original actual value was 16 613 SEKt. The applied effective rate was 4.25 %. The liabilities of the Group increased therefore at the admission with 16 613 SEKt.
  • At the admission the asset is disclosed with its actual value which coincides with the same value as the financial liability, namely 16 613 SEKt. At the end of the financial year 2005/2006 the Tangible assets increased with 9 785 SEKt. The facility had during this financial year been depreciated with 828 SEKt.
  • Depreciations has been applied as of the time of acquisition. The Group's depreciations increased therefore with 828 SEKt during the financial year 2005/2006 and with 993 SEKt during the financial year 2006/2007.
  • Interest costs for the financial liabilities are accounted for as of the time of acquisition. The Group interest costs increased therefore with 422 SEKt during the financial year 2005/2006 and with 411 SEKt during the financial year 2006/2007.

b) Capitalized expenditure for development

Before the transition to IFRS the Group capitalized expenditures for development in earlier phases than Phase III. According to the company's applied accountancy principles according to IFRS, only those capitalized expenditures for development in Phase III or higher should be set up as an asset. In connection to the transition to IFRS the Group have thus carried capitalized expenditures for development as an expense before 2006-05-01 when these expenses did not concern projects that had reached Phase III. At the date of transition to IFRS the Group depreciated 22 826 SEKt directly against equity. During the financial year 2005/2006 the Group depreciated that financial year's capitalized expenditures with 10 518 SEKt over that year's results as these was not deemed to be in Phase III or higher. Since all Capitalized expenditure for development was not yet ready to be used, these has not begun depreciation and the removal of these assets did not affect respective year's depreciations.

c) Other intangible assets

Before the transition to IFRS, Other intangible assets consisted of patents, sales rights, manufacture licenses, authorization for clinical trials and authorization for wholesale trade. Depreciations had only been applied to sales rights. The depreciation time was 5 years. Sales rights concerns the right to sell pharmaceuticals in Sweden that have been imported form other countries, a k a parallel import.

Transition to IFRS resulted in the following effects at the date of transition:

  • Off writing of previously capitalized manufacturing permits, authorization for clinical trials and authorization for wholesale trade to a total amount of 130 SEKt, when these assets were contributable to Capitalized expenditure for development that were not Phase III or higher.
  • Accumulated depreciations of patents that should have been performed earlier have been accounted for retroactively directly against equity with 3 214 SEKt. Additional depreciations for patents amounted to 526 SEKt during the financial year 2005/2006 and 560 SEKt during the financial year 2006/2007.

d) Business combinations

During the financial year 2006/2007 the Parent company acquired 51% of the shares in GlocoGene Pharma AB. The book-keeping agency in charge of handling the group accounts before the transition to IFRS has not been fully able to explain how the acquisition was handled in the group accounts. Any analysis of the actual value for the acquired assets was not performed at the date of the acquisition. At the date of transition to IFRS the Group have, in accordance with IFRS 3, made a full acquisition analysis of the acquisition. This resulted in identification of a higher actual value attributable to a patent than was previously accounted for. The difference amounts to 31 SEKt. The difference between the actual value and the value previously accounted is depreciated during the remaining time of the patent. During the financial year 2006/2007 2 SEKt was depreciated.

e) Deferred tax

Transition effects attributable to d above has caused temporary differences between values accounted for and fiscal values. As the Group aims to correct the fiscal accounts to the return Tax 2008 concerning the items a-c above, ensuring that the fiscal values correspond to the values accounted for, there are no temporary differences for these adjustments, at which no deferred tax has been booked in these items. The transition to accounting according to IFRS has not had any effect on the Group's disclosed cash flow.
