Accounting Policies General The parent financial statements and the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Danish Company Accounts Act, current International Accounting Standards (IAS) and the requirements otherwise imposed by the Copenhagen Stock Exchange on the presentation of financial statements for listed companies. The financial statements have been presented in accordance with the IAS standards and interpretations applicable to the financial year 2000. To facilitate the reading of the financial statements, some of the information required by IAS has been included in the financial review which in this context is regarded as an integral part of the parent financial statements and the consolidated financial statements. Change in accounting policies There has been a change in accounting policy with respect to the recognition of sales subject to a price adjustment clause. As from 2000, sales subject to a price adjustment clause are recognised as the price is finally determined. The change in accounting policy is in accordance with the international trend for the recognition of sales where the price has not been finally determined at the time of invoicing and delivery. The accounting policy for the valuation of other investments comprising investments in shares and other investments has been changed, too. As from 2000, other investments will be carried at the market price or estimated market value at the balance sheet date. The policy change is in accordance with the general trend towards value based financial statements. As a result of the policy change, the profit for the year has been reduced by DKK 332 million before tax and DKK 164 million after tax (1999: a reduction of DKK 24 million before tax and an increase of DKK 39 million after tax) and capital and reserves at 31 December 2000 by DKK 156 million (31 December 1999: an increase of DKK 9 million). The accumulated effect at the beginning of the year has been taken to capital and reserves. The effect of the policy change is described in greater detail in the financial review which reference is made. Comparative figures and financial highlights and ratios have been restated to reflect the new accounting policies. These figures are therefore comparable with the figures for the year. Accounting policies in general Apart from what is set out above, the accounting policies applied are consistent with those of last year. The description of accounting policies has been adapted to reflect the above changes. In addition, some linguistic amendments have been made in the description, which has also been made more clear on some points. However, these changes cannot be regarded as policy changes. and expenses, intercompany investments, balances and dividends as well as unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the consolidated companies. Account is taken of deferred tax on these eliminations. In the consolidated financial statements, the carrying amount of the parents investments in the subsidiaries has been offset against the parents share of the net asset value at the time of acquisition, calculated at the fair value of assets and liabilities. If cost exceeds the share of the net asset value thus calculated, the difference is shown as goodwill in the balance sheet. Goodwill is amortised systematically through the income statement based on an individual assessment of the economic life of the asset, however with a maximum of 20 years. Newly acquired subsidiaries are included in the income statement from the date of acquisition. Subsidiaries sold or discontinued are included up to the time of sale or discontinuation. Comparative figures are not restated for subsidiaries newly acquired or sold/discontinued. Minority interests proportionate share of the subsidiaries results and capital and reserves is identified and presented separately in the statement of the Groups results and capital and reserves. Consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise H. Lundbeck A/S (the parent) and companies (subsidiaries) controlled by the parent. Control is achieved where the parent directly or indirectly holds more than 50% of the voting rights or is otherwise able to exercise or actually exercises control. A list of the subsidiaries is shown in note 8. The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of the financial statements of the parent and the subsidiaries, which are all prepared in accordance with the Groups accounting policies. The consolidated financial statements are prepared by combining like items and eliminating intercompany income Foreign currencies Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated by using standard rates which essentially reflect the exchange rates at the transaction date. Exchange differences arising between the rate at the transaction date and the rate at the date of payment are included in the income statement as financial items. Balances denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. H.
