Independent review report to Neuropharm Group plc
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial
statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 31
December 2009 which comprises the consolidated income statement, the
consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated balance sheet, the
consolidated cash flow statement and related notes 1 to 8. We have read the
other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and considered
whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with
the information in the condensed set of financial statements.
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with International
Standard on Review Engagements 2410 issued by the Auditing Practices Board. Our
work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we
are required to state to them in an independent review report and for no other
purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume
responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our review work, for this
report, or for the conclusions we have formed.
Directors' responsibilities
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved
by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly
financial report in accordance with the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange
As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the group are
prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union. The
condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial
report have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies the group
intends to use in preparing its next annual financial statements.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed
set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our
review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing
Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial
information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review
procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and
consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware
of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we
do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe
that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial
report for the six months ended 31 December 2009 is not prepared, in all
material respects, in accordance with the AIM Rules of the London Stock
Exchange.
Emphasis of matter - going concern
Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to the disclosures made
under the heading "Going concern" in note 2 of the condensed financial
statements which state, inter alia, that the Board has resolved to explore a
return of cash to shareholders. If this return of cash were to be achieved by
way of a Members Voluntary Liquidation ("MVL") then the going concern basis of
preparation would no longer be appropriate. Therefore, whilst the Directors are
satisfied that there is sufficient discretion and control as to the timing and
quantum of cash outflows to ensure that the Group is able to meet its
liabilities as they fall due for at least the next 12 months, the possibility of
entering into a MVL indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may
cast significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
The interim report does not include the adjustments that would result if the
Group's condensed financial statements were prepared on a basis other than going
concern as it is not practicable to determine or quantify them.
