Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT accounting policies
In the opinion of the management of Flamel Technologies S.A. (the “Company”), the accompanying unaudited, condensed, consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements. Accordingly, these Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements, since certain footnotes and other financial information required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (or US GAAP) can be condensed or omitted for interim reporting requirements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and operating results have been included.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2013. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited annual financial statements.
The reporting currency of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar as permitted by the SEC for a foreign private issuer (S-X Rule 3-20(a)). All assets and liabilities in the balance sheets of the Company, whose functional currency is the Euro, except those of the U.S. subsidiaries whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar, are translated into U.S. dollar equivalents at exchange rates as follows: (1) asset and liability accounts at period-end rates, (2) income statement accounts at weighted average exchange rates for the period, and (3) shareholders' equity accounts at historical rates. Corresponding translation gains or losses are recorded in shareholders' equity as Currency Translation Adjustments.
Other comprehensive income includes solely Currency translation Adjustments, thus no reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income to the statements of operations are recognised.
2. REVENUES
2.1 License and research revenue
The Company recognised license and research revenues of $1,273,000 for the first three months of 2013 compared to $2,110,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012. Total research and development revenues amounted to $640,000 compared to $1,639,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 and licensing fees were recognised for a total of $633,000 for the first three months of 2013 compared to $472,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012.
| 8 |
FLAMEL TECHNOLOGIES S.A.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The license and research revenues amounting to $1,273,000 relate principally to agreements with undisclosed partners.
2.2 Product sales and services.
The Company recognised product sales of $2,107,000 for the first three months of 2013 primarily in connection with the supply agreement for the manufacture of Coreg CR microparticles with GSK,. compared to $3,378,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012.
2.3 Other revenues.
The Company recognised other revenues of $1,760,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 compared to $1,872,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, which includes royalties from the License Agreement with GSK with respect to Coreg CR.
3. RESEARCH TAX CREDIT
The French government provides tax credits to companies for spending on innovative research and development. The research tax credit is considered as a grant and is deducted from operational expenses.
For the three months period ended March 31, 2013, the credit amounted to $1,290,000 compared to $1,410,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012.
4. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
During the three month period ended March 31, 2013, no shares were issued.
5. STOCK COMPENSATION EXPENSE
During the three month period ending March 31, 2013, 300,000 options were granted to certain employees of the Company.
ASC 718-10-S99-1 expresses the view that “the use of a simplified method is not allowed if the Company may have sufficient historical exercise data for some of its share options grants and therefore, accepts the use of simplified method for only some grants but not all share options grants”.
The Company decided to use the simplified method to estimate the expected term of the stock-options. The Company believes there is insufficient historical exercise data available for stock-options which are granted to a limited number of beneficiaries. In addition there have been a limited number of option exercises over the past years and the vesting schedule and other terms have changed over time from one option grant to another. Consequently, the Company believes that prior exercise patterns would not reflect accurately future exercises.

The grant date fair value of the stock-options granted is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions.

6. LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-term debt comprises:
| (In thousands of U.S. dollars) | Dec 31, 2012 | Mar 31, 2013 | ||||||
| Government loans for R&D projects (a) | 4,696 | 4,558 | ||||||
| Acquisition liability contingent consideration (b) | 24,063 | 24,595 | ||||||

| Facility agreement (c) | - | 11,915 | ||||||
| Royalty agreement (c) | - | 2,652 | ||||||
| Total | 36,629 | 54,024 | ||||||
| Current portion | 3,351 | 3,252 | ||||||
| Long-term portion | 33,278 | 50,771 | ||||||
(a) French government agencies provide financing to French companies for research and development. At December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, the Company had outstanding loans of $4,696,000 and $4,558,000, respectively for various programs. These loans do not bear interest and are repayable only in the event the research project is technically or commercially successful. Potential repayment is scheduled to occur from 2013 through 2019.
(b) The Acquisition liability relates to the acquisition by the Company on March 13, 2012, through its wholly owned subsidiary Flamel US Holdings, Inc., or Flamel US, all of the membership interests of Éclat Pharmaceuticals, LLC. In exchange for all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Éclat Pharmaceuticals, Flamel US provided consideration consisting of:
| · | a $12 million senior, secured six-year note that is guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries and secured by the equity interests and assets of Éclat; |
| · | two warrants to purchase a total of 3,300,000 American Depositary Shares, each representing one ordinary share of Flamel (“ADSs”); and |
| · | a commitment to make earn out payments of 20% of any gross profit generated by certain Éclat Pharmaceuticals launch products and to pay 100% of any gross profit generated by Hycet® up to a maximum of $1 million. The Purchase Agreement also contains certain representations and warranties, covenants, indemnification and other customary provisions. |
As of March 31, 2013, the fair value of the note was estimated using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820. The key assumptions are as follows: 20% discount rate, 63% probability of success. The note has no early redemption premium.
| 11 |
FLAMEL TECHNOLOGIES S.A.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The fair value of the warrants was determined by using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
| Three months ended March 31, 2012 | Three months ended March 31, 2013 | |||||||
| Share price | $ | 5.13 | $ | 4.30 | ||||
| Risk-free interest rate | 2.00 | % | 0.77 | % | ||||
| Dividend yield | - | - | ||||||
| Expected volatility | 56.26 | % | 56.0 | % | ||||
| Expected term | 6.0 years | 5.0 years | ||||||
Pursuant to guidance of ASC 815-40-15-7(i), the Company determined that the Warrants issued in March 2012 as consideration for the acquisition of Éclat could not be considered as being indexed to the Company’s own stock, on the basis that the exercise price for the warrants is determined in U.S. dollars, although the functional currency of the Company is the Euro. The Company determined that these warrants should be accounted as a debt instrument.
As of March 31, 2013, the deferred consideration fair value was estimated by using a discounted cash flow model based on probability adjusted annual gross profit of each of the Éclat Pharmaceuticals products. A discount rate of 20% has been used, except for Hycet for which a discount rate of 13% has been retained.
(c) On February 4, 2013 the Company concluded a $15 million debt financing transaction (Facility Agreement) with Deerfield Management, a current shareholder. Subject to certain limitations, the Company may use the funds for working capital, including continued investment in its research and development projects.
Consideration received was as follows:
| · | $12.4 million for a Facility agreement of a nominal value of $15 million, including a premium on reimbursement of $2.6 million. The principal amount of the Loan must be repaid over four years as follows: 10% on July 1, 2014, and 20%, 30% and 40% on the second, third, and fourth anniversary, respectively, of the original disbursement date of the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire principal amount of the Loan may be repaid in whole or in part on any interest payment date occurring after December 31, 2013. Interest will accrue at 12.5% per annum to be paid quarterly in arrears, commencing on April 1, 2013, and on the first business day of each July, October, January and April thereafter. |
| · | $2.6 million for a Royalty agreement whereby, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Éclat subject to required regulatory approvals and launch of product, is to pay a 1.75% Royalty of the net sales of certain products sold by Éclat and any of its affiliates until December 31, 2024. |
The facility agreement is accounted for at amortized cost using an effective rate of 23%. The Company elected the fair value option for the measurement of the royalty liability.
| 12 |
FLAMEL TECHNOLOGIES S.A.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The facility and royalty agreements are secured by a Security Agreement on the intellectual property and regulatory rights related to certain ‘Éclat’ Products, and by Pledge agreements on certain receivables and certain physical assets owned by the Company.
Total future payments on long-term debt for the next five years ending December 31 (assuming the underlying projects are commercially or technically successful for governmental research loans) are as follows:
| (In thousands of U.S. dollars) | March 31, 2013 | |||
| 2013 | $ | 3,253 | ||
| 2014 | 6,515 | |||

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
At December 31, 2012 and March 31 2013, the carrying values of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, other receivables and accrued liabilities and the current portion of long-term debt approximated their market values, based on the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The company calculates fair value for its marketable securities based on quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities which represents Level 1 of ASC 820-10 fair value hierarchy.
At December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013 the fair value of long-term debt and long term receivables was comparable with their carrying values.
The following table presents information about the Company securities based on quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities for March 31, 2013 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value.

FLAMEL TECHNOLOGIES S.A.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(a) Acquisition liability contingent consideration: the fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on probability adjusted projected annual gross profit of each of the products which formed the project portfolio at the time of acquisition of Éclat Pharmaceuticals (Note 6 Long Term Debt).
The fair value of the contingent consideration will change over time in accordance with the changes in market conditions and thus business plan projections as the relate to market size, market share, product pricing, competitive landscape, gross profit margins expected for each of the products.
(b) Acquisition liability Note: the Company uses a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model (see note 6 Long Term Debt).
(c) Acquisition liability warrant consideration: the Company uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the warrant consideration will change over time depending on the volatility and share price at balance sheet date (see note 6 Long Term Debt).
(d) Royalty Agreement: the fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on probability adjusted projected annual net sales of each of the applicable products which may be approved and sold by Éclat Pharmaceuticals (Note 6 Long Term Debt).
The following tables provide a reconciliation of fair value for which the Company used Level 3 inputs:
| Acquisition | ||||
| Liabilities | ||||
| Liability recorded upon acquisition | $ | (50,927 | ) | |
| Operational gain (loss) recognized in earnings for fiscal year 2012 | $ | 18,997 | ||
| Net carrying value at January 1, 2013 | $ | (31,930 | ) | |
| Operational gain (loss) recognized in earnings for three months to March 31, 2013 | $ | (2,976 | ) | |
| Net carrying value at March 31, 2013 | $ | (34,906 | ) | |

| Liability recorded upon execution of Agreeement | $ | (2,600 | ) | |
| Financial gain (loss) recognized in earnings for three months to March 31, 2013 | $ | (52 | ) | |
| Net carrying value at March 31, 2013 | $ | (2,652 | ) | |
The acquisition liabilities, consisting of the note, warrants and deferred consideration, and Royalty agreement all of which are classified as long-term debt, are measured at fair value and the income or expense may change significantly as assumptions regarding the valuations and probability of successful development and approval of products in development vary.

Forward-Looking Statements
This report on Form 6-K contains forward-looking statements. We may make additional written or oral forward-looking statements from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise. The words ‘believe,’ ‘expect,’ ‘anticipate,’ ‘project,’ ‘will,’ ‘continue’ and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement is made. Such forward-looking statements are within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although we believe that our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations, our business is subject to significant risks and there can be no assurance that actual results of our development and manufacturing activities and our results of operations will not differ materially from our expectations.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, among others:
| · | we depend on a few customers for the majority of our revenues, and the loss of any one of these customers could reduce our revenues significantly. |
| · | although products that incorporate our drug delivery technologies and development products acquired through our acquisition of Éclat Pharmaceuticals, LLC, or Éclat, may appear promising at their early stages of development and in clinical trials, none of these potential technologies or products may reach the commercial market for any number of reasons. |
| · | our focusing on (i) the development and licensing of five versatile, proprietary drug delivery platforms, (ii) the development of novel, high-value products based on our drug delivery platforms and (iii) as a result of our acquisition of Éclat, the development, approval, and commercialization of niche branded and generic pharmaceutical products in the U.S., rather than primarily on collaborative agreements with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, may not be successful. |
| · | revenues from our drug delivery business depend primarily on pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies successfully developing products that incorporate our drug delivery platforms. |
| · | we must invest substantial sums in research and development in order to remain competitive, and we may not fully recover these investments. |
| · | we must comply with various covenants and obligations under the note agreement with Éclat Holdings, related to the acquisition of Eclat and our failure to do so could adversely affect our ability to operate our business, develop our product portfolio or pursue certain opportunities. |
| · | we depend upon a single site to manufacture our drug delivery products, and any interruption of operations could have a material adverse effect on our business.. |
| · | we depend upon a limited number of suppliers for certain raw materials used in our products, and any failure to deliver sufficient quantities of supplies could interrupt our production process and could have a material adverse effect on our business. |
| · | if our competitors develop and market technologies or products that are more effective or safer than ours, or obtain regulatory approval and market such technologies or products before we do, our commercial opportunity will be diminished or eliminated. |
| 15 |
| · | if we cannot keep pace with the rapid technological change in our industry, we may lose business, and our drug delivery platforms and drug products could become obsolete or noncompetitive. |
| · | if we cannot adequately protect our technology and proprietary information, we may be unable to sustain a competitive advantage. |
| · | even if we and our partners obtain necessary regulatory approvals, our products and platforms may not gain market acceptance. |
| · | our collaborative arrangements may give rise to disputes over commercial terms, contract interpretation and ownership of intellectual property and may adversely affect the commercial success of our products. |
| · | third parties have claimed, and may claim in the future, that our platforms, or the products in which they are used, or our products infringe on their rights and we may incur significant costs resolving these claims or may not be able to resolve. |
| · | we can offer no assurance that any patents issued to us will provide us with competitive advantages or will not be infringed, challenged, invalidated or circumvented by others, or that the patents or proprietary rights of others will not have an adverse effect on our ability to do business. |
| · | if our third party collaborative partners face generic competition for their products, our revenues and royalties from such products may be adversely affected. |
| · | healthcare reform and restrictions on reimbursements may limit our financial returns. |
| · | fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of the European sovereign debt crisis may clause fluctuations in our financial results. |
| · | products that incorporate our drug delivery platforms and Éclat development products in are subject to regulatory approval. If such approvals are not obtained, or are delayed, our revenues may be adversely affected. |
| · | we are subject to U.S.federal and state laws prohibiting “kickbacks” and false claims that, if violated, could subject us to substantial penalties, and any challenges to or investigation into our practices under these laws could cause adverse publicity and be costly to respond to, causing harm to our business. |
| · | companies to which we have licensed our technologies are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and other regulatory authorities. Their failure to meet these regulatory requirements could adversely affect our business. |
| · | we may face product liability claims related to participation in clinical trials or the use or misuse of our products or third party products that incorporate our technologies. |
| · | if we use biological and hazardous materials in a manner that causes injury, we may be liable for significant damages. |
| · | we may fail to realize the anticipated benefits expected from the acquisition of Éclat and its portfolio of pipeline products. |
| · | if we choose to acquire new and complementary businesses, products or technologies, we may be unable to complete these acquisitions or to successfully integrate them in a cost effective and non-disruptive manner. |
| · | those risks set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and in other filings we make from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |

Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. Future events and actual results could differ materially from those set forth in, contemplated by or underlying the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

License and research revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $1.3 million compared to $2.1 million for the first nine months of 2012.
Product sales and services, totaled $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $3.4 million (which included €650,000 (or $852,000) of amortization in connection with the new supply agreement signed with GSK in 2011) for the three months ended March 31, 2012
Other revenues were $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $1.9 million for the first three months of 2012. These revenues are derived primarily from the royalty on sales of Coreg CR.
Operating expenses increased to $15.0 million during the three months March 31, 2013from $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and includes a $3.0 million non-cash expense based on fair-value measurement of certain liabilities associated with the acquisition of Éclat Pharmaceuticals as of March 31, 2013 compared with a $5.1 million non-cash income for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Costs of goods and services sold were $1.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Research and development expenditures were $8.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013compared to $6.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012. Research and development expenditures include $2.0 million associated with a filing fee for the second new drug application filed with the FDA during the first quarter of 2013.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $5.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $2.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013. This decrease is due to legal and advisory expenses incurred on the acquisition of Éclat Pharmaceuticals in 2012 as well as severance costs in the three months ended March 31, 2012.
| 17 |
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $(8.8) million, compared to a net income of $12,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2012. Net loss per share (basic) for the three months ended March 31, 2013was $(0.35), compared to a net income per share in the year-ago period of $(0.00). Net loss and loss per share (basic and diluted) for the first three months of 2013 include the impact of the re-measurement of the fair value of acquisition liabilities of $(2.9) million and $(0.12), respectively, compared with an impact of $5.0 million and $0.20 respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On March 31, 2013, the Company had $15.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, compared to $9.2 million on December 31, 2012. This increase was due primarily to the $15 million financing received in February 4, 2013 partially offset by the use of cash and cash equivalents to fund operations and on-going research and development activities. In recent years, we have financed our operations and research and development efforts primarily through license and research revenues, milestone payments and royalties from our collaborative partners.
On February 4, 2013 the Company concluded a $15 million debt financing transaction (Facility Agreement) with Deerfield Management, a current shareholder. Subject to certain limitations, the Company may use the funds for working capital, including continued investment in its research and development projects.
Consideration received was as follows:
| · | $12.4 million for a Facility agreement of a nominal value of $15 million, including a premium on reimbursement of $2.6 million. The principal amount of the Loan must be repaid over four years as follows: 10% on July 1, 2014, and 20%, 30% and 40% on the second, third, and fourth anniversary, respectively, of the original disbursement date of the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire principal amount of the Loan may be repaid in whole or in part on any interest payment date occurring after December 31, 2013. Interest will accrue at 12.5% per annum to be paid quarterly in arrears, commencing on April 1, 2013, and on the first business day of each July, October, January and April thereafter. |
| · | $2.6 million for a Royalty agreement whereby, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Éclat subject to required regulatory approvals and launch of product, is to pay a 1.75% Royalty of the net sales of certain products sold by Éclat and any of its affiliates until December 31, 2024. |
The above commitments
are secured by a Security Agreement on the intellectual property and regulatory rights related to certain ‘Éclat’
Products, and will be secured by Pledge agreements on certain receivables and certain physical assets owned by the Company

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
While we may be engaged in various claims and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, we are not involved (whether as a defendant or otherwise) in and we have no knowledge of any threat of, any litigation, arbitration or administrative or other proceeding which management believes will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
On November 9, 2007 a putative class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and certain of its current and former officers entitled Billhofer v. Flamel Technologies, et al. The complaint alleged claims arising under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on certain public statements by the Company concerning, among other things, a clinical trial involving Coreg CR and sought damages in an unspecified amount. By Order dated February 11, 2008, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff and lead counsel in the action. On May 12, 2008, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the action, which the Court denied by Order dated October 1, 2009. On April 29, 2010, the lead plaintiff moved to withdraw and substitute another individual as lead plaintiff, which motion was subsequently granted. On June 22, 2010, the lead plaintiff voluntarily agreed to dismiss the action against one of the previously named officers. On September 20, 2010, the Court granted the lead plaintiff’s withdraw and substitution motion and the parties proceeded to engage in fact discovery. On July 30, 2012, the Court issued an opinion denying the lead plaintiff’s motion, filed on December 15, 2011, to further amend his complaint, which motion sought to substantially revise plaintiff’s asserted basis for contending that the defendants should be found liable for the statements at issue. In its opinion, the Court held that the proposed amended complaint failed to properly plead a viable claim. By Order dated March 8, 2013, the Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss and the action was dismissed with prejudice and costs.
