†Note Global Research sales were formally referred to as Strategic sales in
prior interim and year-end financial reports issued by the Company.  The Company
believes that Global Research is more descriptive of the pharmaceutical and
clinical research organization sales associated with this aspect of the
Company’s commercial operations and customers.  These sales are impacted by the
size and timing of clinical trials and can fluctuate substantially between
periods.

‡Loss per share has been calculated in accordance with IAS 33, which stipulates
that if a rights issue is offered to all existing shareholders, the number of
ordinary shares to be used in calculating earnings per share for all periods
before the rights issues is recalculated to reflect the effect of the rights
issue.
