Amounts recognized under staff costs in the income statement were as follows: (In thousand euro) As of December 31 2011 2010 Current service cost 165 219 Interest expense on obligation 16 19 25 Deferred income 181 238 Deferred income relates to the upfront payment received from Merck Serono International SA. Please refer also to note 5 for additional details. 26 Trade and other payables (In thousand euro) As of December 31 2011 2010 Trade payables 1,015 2,210 Accrued expenses 829 1,451 Pension contribution payable 179 227 Social security 101 117 Other payables 227 230 2,351 4,235 27 Deferred income taxes The Group’s accounts include the following significant temporary differences from the tax bases of the relevant assets and liabilities: (In thousand euro) For the year ended December 31 2011 2010 Other (IAS 19) (183) (163) Total taxable differences (183) (163) Other minor 1 1 Deferred income 120 400 Total deductible differences 121 401 Net temporary differences (62) 238 Tax losses carried forwards 114,562 108,544 Total differences 114,500 108,782 The above deferred tax asset has been measured using the average tax rates that are expected to apply to the taxable profit of the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse and has not been recognized in the consolidated financial statements due to uncertainties concerning the availability of future taxable profits against which such an asset may be offset, also considering the expiring dates of the tax losses. Tax-loss carry-forwards expire as follows: (In thousand euro) December 31, 2011 No expiry date 22,875 No expiry date - DL 98/2011 91,687 114,562 The loss identified as “No expiry date” includes EUR 6,008 related to Newron Pharmaceuticals S.p.A. (since they relate to the start-up costs) and EUR 16,867 related to Hunter-Fleming Ltd (equal to GBP 14,089 translated at the year-end exchange rate EUR 1 equal to GBP 0.8353). The “Tax-loss carry-forwards” balance increased by EUR 5,984 due to the combined effects of the following items: (a) exchange rate effect on Hunter-Fleming Ltd. tax losses that results in an increase equal to EUR 500 and (b) inclusion of 2011 estimated tax losses equal to EUR 5,518. In 2011 the Italian Tax Authorities issued a new set of rules that modified the previous treatment of tax-losses carry-forwards. According to what has been stated by the D.L. 98/2011, at the end of 2011, all existing taxlosses carry-forwards will never expire but they can offset only the 80% of the taxable income of the year. The new rules don’t affect the tax-loss carry-forwards that refer to the start-up period, defined as the first three years of operations starting from the inception of the Company.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, EUR 345 were recognized as net expense in the income statement in respect of operating leases (2010: EUR 475).
