NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
1.1 Introduction
The condensed annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
("IFRS"), IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the South African Companies Act, the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited as well
as the AC500 standards as issued by the Accounting Practices Board or its successor. The condensed financial information has been
audited by Ernst & Young Inc. The individual auditor assigned to perform the audit is Mr Warren Kinnear. The auditors' unqualified
opinion is available for inspection at the Company's registered office.
Mr Andrew Hall, Deputy Chief Executive and Financial Director, is responsible for this set of financial results and has supervised the
preparation thereof in conjunction with Group Finance Executive, Ms Dorette Neethling.
1.2 Changes in accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except where the Group has adopted the
following new and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations during the year. When the adoption of the standard or interpretation is
deemed to have an impact on the financial statements or performance of the Group, its impact is described below:
IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures (Amendment)
The amended standard was effective for the Group from 1 October 2011. It clarifies the definition of a related party to simplify the
identification of such relationships and to eliminate inconsistencies in its application, but did not have an impact on the Group's
financial position or performance
IFRIC 14 Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement (Amendment)
The amendment to IFRIC 14 was effective for the Group from 1 October 2011 with retrospective application. The amendment
provides guidance on assessing the recoverable amount of a net pension asset. The amendment permits an entity to treat the
prepayment of a minimum funding requirement as an asset. The amendment had no impact on the financial statements of
the Group.
Improvements to IFRS (issued in May 2010)
The IASB issued improvements to IFRS, an omnibus of amendments to its IFRS standards. The amendments have been effective
for the Group since 1 October 2011. These improvements did not have a significant impact on the Group, other than additional
disclosures and deal with:
- IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
- IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements
- IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting

Pharmaceutical operations, decision-making changed, with a corresponding change in segmental reporting to align the reporting

8 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
8.1 Cosme Farma Laboratories Limited (Cosme)
On 10 July 2012, Adcock Ingram announced the acquisition of certain assets of Cosme, a division of the Cosme Group, based in
Goa, India. Cosme is a mid-sized sales and marketing pharmaceutical business which has been operating in the Indian domestic
pharmaceutical market for the past 40 years and is ranked 55th in India, per IMS Health, with a sales force of approximately 1 000 staff.
On 1 November 2012 shareholders were advised via SENS that, due to the regulatory approvals process in India not having been
completed, the previously anticipated closing date for the Cosme transaction, being 31 October 2012, had not been achieved.
Consequently, in terms of an extension agreement entered into between Adcock Ingram and Cosme, the closing date for the
transaction was extended to 31 January 2013. On 12 November 2012, the Foreign Investment Promotions Board of India (FIPB)
notified Adcock Ingram that it had approved the Cosme transaction, subject to certain conditions relating to investments in the
pharmaceutical sector in India, inter alia: (i) a commitment to continue the supply of drugs listed on the National Essential List of
Medicines for the pursuing five years; (ii) to maintain the current level of Research and Development expenditure of the acquired
Cosme business over the pursuing 5 years; and (iii) notification to the FIPB of the details of any technology transfer into India from
South Africa. The Company expects to be able to comply with all conditions imposed and to conclude all formalities related to the
Cosme transaction in January 2013.
8.2 NutriLida
As of 30 September 2012, an amount of R8.0 million, held in escrow, remained in dispute between the Group and the previous
owners of NutriLida. On 16 November 2012 the parties agreed that the Group would release R4.0 million of the escrow to the
previous owners of NutriLida, in full and final settlement of the balance of the acquisition price.
Turnover increased 3% to R4,599 million
EBITDA decreased 16% to R986 million
HEPS decreased 9% to 422,4 cents
Final distribution per share increased 8% to 115 cents
BBBEE status improved to Level 3
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Headline earnings
The Group achieved headline earnings for the year ended 30 September 2012 of R713.4 million (422.4 cents per share). This represents
a 10.1% decrease over the comparable figure for 2011 of R793.9 million and translates into a decrease of 9.2% in headline earnings
per share.
Turnover
The acquisition of NutriLida supported turnover growth of 3.3% to R4,599 million (2011: R4,454 million). This was achieved notwithstanding
the loss of sales of DPP-containing products and the reduced Anti-Retroviral (ARV) tender award. Price reductions across the business
averaged 0.7% for the year, an improvement from the figure of 2.3% at the half-year.
In the Prescription segment, the Single Exit Price (SEP) increase of 2.14% granted by Government in March 2012 was implemented only
on products where market conditions allowed and overall revenue decreased by 6.9%. Over-the-counter (OTC) turnover growth of 11.4%
benefited from the inclusion of NutriLida, with volumes remaining flat for the balance of the portfolio and pricing marginally positive
for the full year after having shown price deflation at the half-year. Hospital revenue grew by 6.4% as full production resumed after the
Aeroton factory upgrade, but this business segment continued to experience price deflation.
Profits
Gross profit for the year decreased by 3.5% to R2,094 million (2011: R2,169 million) with margins declining from 48.7% to 45.5%.
Gross margin as a percentage of sales was adversely impacted by production inflation, facilities undergoing upgrades, and by the weaker
Rand, which affected imported raw materials and finished products. The average exchange rates for inventory procurement were R7.86
(2011: R6.98) and R10.50 (2011: R9.76) for US Dollar and Euro imports, respectively, with total contracts settled during the year amounting
to R755 million (2011: R777 million).
Operating profit decreased by 18.7% to R869 million (2011: R1,069 million) with the percentage on sales reducing from 24.0% to 18.9%.
Operating expenses increased by 11.4% to R1,225 million (2011: R1,100 million). The additional expenses of R125 million include increased
amortisation (R11 million), IFRS 2 charges relating to additional units allocated to staff (R9 million), retrenchment costs (R23 million),
M&A-related project costs (R21 million) and NutriLida operating expenses of R9 million.
After net finance costs and dividends received, profit before tax decreased 20.7% to R887 million (2011: R1,119 million). The effective tax
rate for the year was 19.0% (2011: 29.1%), having taken advantage of the Strategic Industrial Project (SIP) allowance for approved capital
projects, which reduced the tax charge by R86 million in the current year.
Cash flows and financial position
Cash generated from operations was R785 million (2011: R1,029 million) after working capital increased R292 million (2011: R157 million).
Trade accounts and other receivables contributed R128 million to the working capital increase but trade accounts receivable days at
the end of the year remained consistent at 65 days and virtually no bad debts were experienced. Inventory increased by R141 million
as stockholdings of some strategic active ingredients were increased to improve service levels. After net finance income, dividends
and taxation, cash inflow from operations was R458 million (2011: R526 million).
The upgrade at the Aeroton facility and the construction of the high-volume liquids facility at Clayville were both completed, with
total capital expenditure in 2012 amounting to R512 million (2011: R433 million).
During the year R300 million was repaid on the loan facility for the factory upgrades. The remaining balance of R500 million is being
repaid in quarterly instalments with the final instalment due in December 2013. Cash equivalents decreased by R611 million, but the
business still has a healthy gross cash position of R493 million (2011: R1,104 million).
Dividend distribution
The Board has declared a final dividend of 115 cents per share for the year ended 30 September 2012 out of income reserves, bringing
the dividend for the year to 201 cents (2011: 187 cents).
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
COMMERCIAL
Southern Africa
This segment encompasses all of the businesses in the Southern African region namely OTC, Prescription and Hospital. The most
significant impact for the year remains the withdrawal of DPP-containing products and the disappointing Anti-Retroviral (ARV) tender
award at the last adjudication in December 2010. The revenue reduction in the year under review was R80 million for DPP containing
products and R68 million for ARV's. The NutriLida acquisition has offset this by R162 million year-on-year. The region posted an overall
sales increase of 3.2% in a tough economic climate that has seen pressure on the consumer, coupled with continued down-trading and
an unfavourable pricing environment.
Overall the business, as measured in IMS, has performed well in the private market with a growth of 9.7% in pharmacy, but some
share erosion has taken place in the FMCG market in analgesics.
OTC sales increased by 11.4% to R1,792 million (2011: R1,608 million), assisted by the acquisition of NutriLida in the last quarter of
fiscal 2011. Adcock Ingram is now number 1 in the Vitamins, Minerals & Supplements category in FMCG according to Nielsen and
number 2 in Pharmacy as measured in IMS. Dependence on SEP products has reduced from 61% to 53% in this business over the year.
The gross profit dropped by 370 basis points to 55.6% due to currency devaluation and input inflation. Contribution after marketing
expenses (CAM) decreased by 3.0% to R660.5 million (2011: R680.7 million). This business has experienced the impact of a disrupted
supply chain due to upgrades in the factories and a poor economic climate as consumers have continued to be under pressure. Strong
brands in the portfolio have however helped Adcock Ingram retain its market leadership position in this highly competitive environment.
Excluding the DPP and ARV impact, the Prescription business has performed relatively well due to new multi-national collaborations,
sound performance of Adcock Ingram's core brands and continued progress in the generics business. Overall turnover declined by 6.9%
to R1,520 million (2011: R1,632 million), with gross margins dropping 640 basis points, with currency devaluation, product mix and input
inflation the influencing factors.
Hospital turnover increased by 6.4% over the comparable period to R1,124 million (2011: R1,057 million), as organic volumes increased
by 5.3%. Price deflation and aggressive competition remains a challenge in this segment.
The Renal division continues to grow market share in the public and private sectors, with growth reflected in all portfolios. In the
generic market, the division continued to invest in injectable analgesics, antibiotics and specialty drugs. The Transfusion Therapy division
was impacted by lower blood donor numbers which dropped by 2% compared to 2011.
The relationship with Baxter remains constructive, with Baxter having performed an audit of the upgraded facility in February 2012.
No additional product is now being imported from Baxter, as the Aeroton factory is now able to meet market demand.

It has been a challenging year for Adcock Ingram in the Rest of Africa, with revenue flat over the prior year. The performance was
impacted by product recalls in East Africa and factory upgrades and the attendant production bottlenecks, which adversely affected sales
in Ghana and the SADC region.
In Kenya, sales of two flagship OTC analgesics, Dawanol and Betapyn, fell due to the illegal distribution of counterfeit products in the
market, which required a temporary recall of Adcock Ingram's genuine stock. The reintroduction in June of Dawanol with anti-counterfeit
security features boosted sales in the second half of the year.
In Ghana, poor quality water supply at the liquids factory led to a temporary shutdown of the facility in February. A rapid but significant
upgrade of the plant was initiated and 70% of the manufacturing capacity restored with further improved production expected by
March 2013. Adcock Ingram product sales showed good growth as the brands have gained the confidence of doctors and pharmacists
following promotion activities.
SUPPLY CHAIN
The upgrades to the supply chain and implementation of new systems resulted in some disruption in supply to the market, as reflected
in the sales performance, particularly in OTC liquids, the private hospital sector and the Rest of Africa.
The Aeroton facility is now performing well and the high-volume liquids (HVL) facility at Clayville has been commissioned, inspected by
the Medicines Control Council (MCC) and opened by the Gauteng MEC for Health, Mr Hope Papo, in mid-October 2012.
Additional tablet capacity is being installed at Wadeville, in anticipation of future tender awards.
LOGISTICS
Distribution volumes have increased by 4% compared to the previous financial year, and warehouse capacity remains a focus.
Distribution expenses, as a cost per unit, have increased by 3% year-on-year. Despite the increasing trend of the cost of fuel which
attracts approximately 35% of the transport costs, the increase in cost per unit was kept relatively low. The successful upgrade of
systems, in which processes were automated, resulted in increased throughput. Synergies were realised by rationalising the different
distribution networks in the Group and closing the NutriLida and 15th Road warehouses.
REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT
The industry has submitted its response to the Department of Health's (DoH) proposal for a 6% SEP increase showing that this
figure underestimates the CPI increase and Exchange Rate weakening over the last year.
Discussions continue with the DoH and the Pricing Committee on the final basket of countries and the method of measurement to
benchmark pharmaceutical prices in the private sector. At this stage the timing and the quantum of any changes remain uncertain,
but the focus appears to be on patent-protected products, which represent a small portion of Adcock Ingram's sales.
In October 2012, Adcock Ingram made its own submission with regard to the proposed capping of Logistics Fees and raised the
elements of complexity and differentiation on the costing for transport of heavy liquid products and for home delivery.
TRANSFORMATION
Adcock Ingram's BBBEE transformation scorecard was certified by Empowerdex in October 2012. The Company improved its BBBEE status
to Level 3, after the successful implementation of an Owner Driver Scheme which increased the Enterprise Development component.
An Apprenticeship Programme and Learnerships for people with disabilities were implemented to further enhance the BBBEE score.
CHANGES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Professor Matthias Haus was appointed as an independent non-executive director with effect from 1 June 2012.
PROSPECTS
The international accreditation of our recently completed manufacturing facilities remains a key focus area during the next year as the
Group concludes its investment in its supply chain.
Adcock Ingram maintains its focus on the acquisition of businesses and brands in high growth emerging markets in Africa and India.
It expects to conclude the acquisition of Cosme Farma in January 2013. We continue to invest in brands, people and customers off
our existing platform.
The multi-national partner of choice strategy continues to deliver value with the recent addition of a co-operation agreement with
Lundbeck. Additional collaborations are being explored to continue the path of revenue diversification and decrease the dependence
on mature products. Supply chain collaborations will address the challenge in extending multi-national collaborations partnerships into
sub-Saharan Africa.
New generic product launches are planned for early in the year in the cardiovascular category and further innovation will be taken to
market on the Complementary Alternative Medicines (CAMs) portfolio.
The current economic climate remains uncertain and the impact on consumer spending is concerning. Margins will continue to be
impacted by cost pressures, particularly labour, transport and utilities, and by active ingredient prices which are directly linked to currency
fluctuations.
