Tax The parent company is jointly taxed with the two Danish and some of the foreign subsidiaries. The tax payable computed on the joint taxation income is included in the parent companys profit and loss account in accordance with the parent company method. The jointly taxed Danish companies are included in the Danish provisional tax scheme. Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current tax and the years change in deferred tax. Additions, deductions and allowances relating to the Danish provisional tax scheme are included in current tax. Tax on the profit or loss for the year relates to the profits or losses on ordinary and extraordinary activities. Current tax comprises tax payable calculated on the basis of the expected taxable income for the year and any adjustment of tax payable for previous years. Provision is made for deferred tax according to the balance sheet oriented liability method on all temporary differences between valuations as stated in the accounts and as computed for taxation purposes, with the exception of differences relating to shareholdings in subsidiaries and Group goodwill which are not deductible for tax purposes. The tax value of losses expected to be available for set off against future taxable income is set off against the deferred tax within the same legal tax unit and jurisdiction. Any deferred tax assets (net) are stated on the basis of a conservative valuation in the balance sheet. Deferred tax is calculated on the basis of the current tax rules and tax rates in the respective countries, and the effect on deferred tax of any changes in tax rates is included in the profit and loss account. Further, provision is made for deferred tax on reversal of tax benefit arising from assets in jointly taxed foreign subsidiaries. Deferred tax on investments in subsidiaries or associated companies is not disclosed because the calculations are very resource consuming and comprehensive with many alternatives, and the usefulness to the users is limited compared with the amount of work involved. Segment information The company is only engaged in the business segment Drugs for treatment of illnesses in the field of CNS. Turnover, segment assets and additions to tangible segment assets are disclosed within the secondary geographical segments. Pension commitments Profit and loss account The Group has entered into pension agreements and similar agreements with most of the Groups employees. Periodical payments to defined contribution pension plans are included in the profit and loss account at the due date and any contributions payable are included in the balance sheet under other debt. The present value of the Groups commitments relating to future pension payments according to defined benefit pension plans is calculated on an actuarial basis at intervals of not more than three years on the basis of the pensionable period of employment up to the time of the actuarial valuation, using the projected unit credit method. Provision is made in the balance sheet for the present value of plans which are not funded. The present value of the commitment according to defined benefit plans which are funded in independent pension funds is calculated less the market value of the assets associated with the scheme, and any net commitment is included as a provision in the balance sheet. If the calculation shows a net asset, that asset is not included in the balance sheet but disclosed in a note. The years changes in the provisions relating to defined benefit pension plans are included in the profit and loss account. Net turnover Net turnover comprises invoiced sales for the year less returned goods and turnover taxes, consisting mainly of value added taxes and foreign drug taxes. Turnover subject to a price adjustment clause is recognised as income in the profit and loss account at the time of invoicing if no risk of substantial price adjustments is expected to exist. Moreover, net turn-over includes licence income and royalties from licensed products as well as non-refundable down payments and payments relating to research cooperation from research partners. Production costs Production costs comprise the cost of goods sold. Cost includes the cost of raw materials, consumables and goods for resale, direct wages and indirect production costs, including the cost of operating and depreciating manufacturing facilities. Production costs moreover include costs in connection with quality certification of sold products and any writedown to net realisable value of unsaleable and slow moving items. Distribution costs Distribution costs comprise costs relating to distribution and sales of the Groups products, including direct distribution and marketing costs, salaries for the sales and marketing functions as well as depreciation and other indirect costs. 27
