Notes to the financial information

Accounting policies

This financial information has been prepared in accordance with the policies set out in the statutory financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2002.

Convenience translation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in pounds sterling. The consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended 31 March 2003 are also presented in United States Dollars as a convenience translation. The Dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of the reader and have been calculated using an exchange rate of 1 pound:US$1.579, the noon buying rate as of 31 March 2003. No representation is made that the amounts could have been or could be converted into United States Dollars at this or any other rates.

Drug Royalty Corporation transaction costs

General and administration expenses include 7.9 million pounds of costs incurred in the year ended 30 September 2002 relating to the two transactions entered into with Drug Royalty Corporation Inc. of Canada (DRC) during that year. In January 2002, CAT announced a recommended offer for the whole of DRC. A competing offer was made by Inwest Investments Ltd of Canada which was accepted in April 2002. Under an agreement with DRC, the Group received a payment of 1.5 million pounds in 1994 in return for rights to a percentage of revenues (and certain other payments) received by the Group over a period terminating in 2009. The 1.5 million pounds was deferred and recognised over the period for which the rights were purchased. On 2 May 2002, CAT bought out this royalty obligation to DRC for 6.1 million pounds (C$14 million) with the issue of 463,818 CAT shares to DRC. The remaining balance of 0.6 million pounds of deferred income was all released in 2002. The professional fees incurred in the Group's bid and royalty buy-back were 1.8 million pounds.

Loss per share

The loss per ordinary share and diluted loss per share are equal because share options are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share if their issue would decrease the net profit per share or increase the net loss per share. The calculation is based on the following for the six months ended 31 March 2003, the six months ended 31 March 2002 and the year ended 30 September 2002 respectively: losses of 18,837,000 pounds, 9,148,000 pounds, and 28,207,000 pounds. Weighted average number of shares in issue of 36,307,483, 35,533,453 and 35,828,446. The Company has ordinary shares in issue of 36,359,874 and a total of 1,748,727 ordinary shares under option as of 31 March 2003.
