NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the six months ended 30 June 2003
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND THE BASIS OF PREPARATION
The interim financial statements have been prepared using accounting
policies consistent with those adopted by the Group in its financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2002.
The interim report is unaudited and does not constitute statutory
financial statements within the meaning of section 240 of the Companies Act
1985. The results for the period to 30 June 2003 have been formally reviewed and
reported upon by the auditors on page 21 to this report. The figures for the
year ended 31 December 2002 are an extract from the audited financial statements
for that period which have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and on
which the auditors have issued an unqualified report which contained no
statement therein under section 237(2) or section 237(3) of the Companies Act
1985.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial information includes the financial
statements for the Company and its subsidiary undertakings. Intra-group sales
and profits are eliminated fully on consolidation. The results of subsidiaries
sold or acquired are included in the consolidated profit and loss account up to
the date of their sale or from their date of acquisition respectively.
Revenue recognition
Turnover comprises contract development and licensing, royalty and
manufacturing and distribution income. Contract development and licensing income
represents amounts invoiced to customers for services rendered under development
and licensing agreements, including milestone payments and technology access
fees. Contract revenue is recognised when earned and non-refundable and to the
extent that there are no future obligations pursuant to the revenue, in
accordance with the contract terms. Refundable contract revenue is treated as
deferred until such time as it is no longer refundable. Royalty income
represents income earned as a percentage of product sales. Advance royalties
received are treated as deferred income until earned, when they are recognised
as income. Manufacturing and distribution revenues principally comprise
contract manufacturing fees invoiced to third parties and income from product
sales.
Research and development costs
Research costs are charged as an expense in the period in which they
are incurred. Development costs are also recognised as an expense in the period
in which they are incurred, unless all of the criteria are met for asset
recognition. The major asset recognition criteria include: the ability to
define clearly the product or process, demonstration of its technical
feasibility and that a commercial market for it exists. Development costs
recognised as an asset do not exceed the probable net amount to be recovered in
marketing the product or process and they are amortised over the estimated
economic life.
Intangible fixed assets
Intangible fixed assets comprise goodwill, intellectual property and
capitalised development costs. Goodwill, being the difference between the fair
value of the purchase consideration and the Group's share of the fair value of
the net assets acquired, is capitalised and amortised over a period of 20 years
or less in line with the Directors' view of its useful economic life. Prior to
the introduction of FRS 10; Goodwill and intangible assets, the policy adopted
was to write off goodwill to reserves. As permitted by FRS 10 goodwill written
off to reserves in previous years has not been reinstated on the balance sheet
and adjustments to such goodwill have been taken directly to reserves. Goodwill
previously written off to reserves is charged to the profit and loss account in
the event of disposal of the related business.
Intellectual property comprises acquired patents, trade marks,
know-how and other similarly identified rights. These are recorded at their fair
value at acquisition date and are amortised in equal instalments over their
estimated useful economic lives, from the date when the transfer of technology
is complete. The period over which the Group expects to derive economic
benefits does not exceed 20 years. Costs associated with internally developed
intellectual property are generally treated as research and development costs.
Development costs are recognised under the criteria stated above.
Fixed asset investments
Investments that are held for continuing use in the business are
classified as fixed asset investments and recorded in the balance sheet at cost
or Directors' valuation, less provision for permanent diminution in value.
Impairment of fixed assets
The carrying values of fixed assets are reviewed for impairment when
there is an indication that the assets may be impaired. First year impairment
reviews are conducted for acquired goodwill and intangible assets. Impairment
is determined by reference to the higher of net realisable value and value in
use, which is measured by reference to discounted future cash flows. Any
provision for impairment is charged to the profit and loss account in the year
concerned.
2 SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS
The Group's operations relate wholly to one class of business,

3 OTHER OPERATING INCOME
Paul Capital Royalty Acquisition Fund provided a total of $30
million between 2000 and 2002, in return for the sale of a portion of future
royalty and revenue streams from DepoMorphine, Xatral OD, Solaraze and DepoCyt.
Income of #1.2 million was recognised as other operating income under this
agreement on a cost to complete basis. All of the income under this agreement
has now been recognised. Royalty payments of #0.4 million have been expensed
during the period.
In 2002 the Group announced another transaction under which Paul
Capital will pay SkyePharma a further $30 million during 2002 and 2003, in
return for a portion of the potential future royalty and revenue streams from
nine products from the Group's drug pipeline. Income of #3.0 million was
recognised as other operating income under this agreement on a cost to complete
basis. Royalty payments of #0.9 million have been expensed during the period.
4 EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS
Following a strategic reorganisation of research centres involving a
substantial reduction in staff at SkyePharma Canada, with certain activities
outsourced to other sites in San Diego and Muttenz, provisions of #0.7 million
were established against the cost of the reorganisation (note 9; Provisions for
Liabilities and Charges). In addition #0.7 million was written down against
fixed assets.

basic and diluted earnings per Ordinary Share since all potential Ordinary
Shares were anti-dilutive. In 2002 the weighted average number of Ordinary

Ordinary Shares. Shares held by the SkyePharma PLC General Employee Benefit
Trust are excluded from the weighted average number of shares.
