and likewise a net loss of DKK 250-280 million. The Company's position of cash
and cash equivalents as at 31 December, 2011 is expected to be in the range of

Research & development update

LCP-Tacro™ in kidney transplant patients (stable patients, Study 3001)


The clinical Phase 3 program in stable kidney transplant patients was initiated
in December 2008, and full patient enrollment was finalized early January 2010
with 326 patients. The primary endpoint for the study is a non-inferiority
comparison of LCP-Tacro™ to Prograf® with the traditional composite endpoint
of: Biopsy Proven Acute Rejection (“BPAR”), graft failure, loss to follow up or
death. Secondary endpoints include assessments of safety/tolerability measures
and renal function. Patients were evaluated on treatment every few months over
a 12-month treatment duration plus a safety follow-up visit at month 13.


The clinical trial is progressing according to plan, and all patients have
completed their treatment. LCP expects to announce topline results of this key
study in June 2011.





LCP-Tacro™ in kidney transplant patients (de novo patients, Study 3002)


The clinical Phase 3 program in de novo kidney transplant patients was
initiated in October 2010. Patient enrollment is ongoing, and will include
approximately 540 patients in total.


The study is expected to be ready for filing in the U.S. and EU in the first
quarter of 2013.


The LCP Study 3002 is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter study that will
compare once-daily LCP-Tacro™ against twice-daily Prograf® in de novo adult
kidney transplant patients. The primary endpoint of the study, a composite
endpoint (BPAR, graft failure, loss to follow up or death), will be evaluated
after a 12-month treatment period to demonstrate the non-inferiority of
LCP-Tacro™ compared to Prograf®. Secondary endpoints will include safety,
tolerability and renal function assessments. The study will be conducted at
approximately 100 transplant centers, primarily in the U.S and Europe. Patients
will participate in a 12-month extension period on treatment for follow-up
safety assessments.

Revenue

For the first quarter of 2011 LCP had no revenue compared to DKK 0.6 million in
revenues in the same period of 2010. Revenue in 2010 consisted of payments
under LCP's collaboration agreements.


Research and development costs

For the first quarter of 2011, LCP's research and development costs amounted to
DKK 52.3 million compared to DKK 56.3 million during the same period in 2010.
Research and development costs are mainly attributable to the two ongoing phase
3 trials in LCP-Tacro™. In the period cost is included to the finalization of
the phase 3 study in kidney transplant patients (stable patients, Study 3001),
along with costs associated to the ramp up in the phase 3 study in kidney
transplant patients (de novo patients, Study 3002).


Administrative expenses

For the first quarter of 2011, LCP's administrative cost amounted to DKK 11.7
million compared to DKK 13.2 million during the same period in 2010 and DKK
13.4 million in the previous quarter. The reduction in cost reflects the cost
reduction initiatives which have taken place during 2010.


One-off restructuring cost

One-off restructuring cost mainly includes salary payments to former employees
in connection with the reduction in January 2010.


Compensation costs

For the first three months of 2011, a total of DKK 3.5 million was recognized
as share-based compensation. The cost is included in R&D and G&A. The
comparable cost for 2010 was DKK 3.1 million.

an average strike price of DKK 3.2. Members of the Board of Directors held
578,976 warrants at an average strike price of DKK 9.8. Members of the

Company's warrant programs.


Operating loss

LCP's operating loss for the first three months of 2011 was DKK 64.0 million

Financial income

During the first three months of 2011, the Company recognized net financial
expenses of DKK 1.9 million compared to net financial expenses of DKK 0.2
million in the first three months of 2010. The loss is mainly due to currency
losses following the decline in the USD / DKK currency rate.

to DKK 80.0 million in the corresponding period of 2010.

As per 31 March, 2011, the balance sheet reflects cash and cash equivalents to
DKK 462.3 million compared to DKK 531.5 million as per 31 December, 2010. This

operating activities for the period.

Financial review

LCP reports its financial statements in Danish Kroner (DKK), which is the
functional currency of the Company and the group. Solely for the convenience of
the reader, this Interim Report contains a conversion of certain DKK amounts
into Euro (EUR) at a specified rate. These converted amounts should not be
construed as representations that the DKK amounts actually represent such EUR
amounts or could be converted into EUR at the rate indicated or at any other
rate. Unless otherwise indicated, conversion herein of financial information
into EUR has been made using the Danish Central Bank's spot rate on 31 March
2011, which was EUR 1.00 = DKK 7.4567.





Grant of warrants





At a board meeting held on 10 May 2011, the Board of Directors decided to issue
250,000 warrants to the Board of Directors of LCP.


By application of the Black-Scholes formula, the market value of the warrant
program can be calculated as DKK 0.5 per warrant assuming an exercise price of
DKK 1.16, equal to the closing price of the Company's share at the NASDAQ OMX
Copenhagen on 10 May 2011, based on an interest rate of 2.56% and a volatility
of the Company's shares of 52%.


The volatility is based on the Company's historical share prices since its IPO
in November 2006.
