(a) Basis of consolidation and presentation of financial information
 
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). In addition to the financial statements included in this Form 20-F, we also prepared separate Consolidated Financial Statements, included in our Annual Report, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS), which differ in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. The Annual Report under IFRS is a separate document from this Form 20-F.
 
Unless otherwise indicated, our financial statements and other financial data contained in this Form 20-F are presented in U.S. dollars ($). The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and those of our subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated.
 
We have incurred significant losses during the last three fiscal years and anticipate to continue to incur operating losses in 2009. However, our directors believe that we have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 months and that it is appropriate to continue to prepare our Consolidated Financial Statements on a going concern basis.

(a) Basis of consolidation and presentation of financial information
 
Prior to the 2004 fiscal year, we prepared our Consolidated Financial Statements, incorporated by reference, on our historical Form 20-F, in conformity with Irish generally accepted accounting principles (Irish GAAP). Beginning with our 2004 fiscal year, we have adopted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) as the basis for the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements. Accordingly, our Consolidated Financial Statements on this Form 20-F are prepared on the basis of U.S. GAAP for all periods presented.
 
We also prepared separate Consolidated Financial Statements, included in our Annual Report, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which differ in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. The Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report have been prepared for the first time for the year ended December 31, 2005 under IFRS. Comparative information that was previously presented under Irish GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2004 has been restated under IFRS. The Annual Report under IFRS, which includes a reconciliation of previously reported Irish GAAP financial information to IFRS, is a separate document from this Form 20-F.
 
Unless otherwise indicated, our financial statements and other financial data contained in this Form 20-F are presented in United States dollars ($). The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and those of our subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated.
 
We have incurred significant losses during the last three fiscal years and anticipate continuing losses for the foreseeable future. However, our directors believe that we have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the next twelve months and that it is appropriate to continue to prepare our Consolidated Financial Statements on a going concern basis.
