For immediate release 29 August 2008
Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc
("Napo" or "the Company")
Interim Results for the Six Months Ended 30 June 2008
South San Francisco, California, 29 August 2008 - Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., (LSE: NAPL and NAPU), which focuses on bringing
proprietary products to the global marketplace in collaboration with local partners, today announces its interim results for the six months
ended 30 June 2008.
Financial Highlights:
* Cash and short-term investment position of approximately US$1.1 million at 30 June 2008 compared with US$7.2 million at 31
December 2007 and US$14.1 million at 30 June 2007 ;
* Raised approximately US$6.1 million gross proceeds through the issuance of convertible debt and common stock to investors in late
2007 and 2008; and
* Net loss attributable to common shareholders of US$15.8 million compared to US$10.3 million in the prior six month period ended 30
June 2007 is reflective of increased expenditures for CRO-HIV related trial expenses, the issuance of warrants associated with convertible
debt financing and other operating costs.
Operational Highlights:

licensee-Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Limited ("Glenmark")
* Full commercial rights of crofelemer previously licensed to Trine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Trine") have reverted to Napo, and Napo
will receive 100% of the profits from each of these indications. These include worldwide rights to CRO-IBS; co-commercial rights to CRO-HIV
in the US; acute infectious diarrhoea ("CRO-ID") rights in western territories; as well as any future potential clinical indications, such
as cancer or transplant patient related diarrhoeas, among others.
* Napo is actively engaged in discussions with potential commercial partners for crofelemer.
* Strengthened intellectual property position through:
* Approval from US Patent Office for "enteric formulations of proanthocyanidin polymer antidiarrheal compositions" from the United
States Patent Office
* Agreement with the University of Iowa Research Foundation for the non exclusive, royalty free license of United States Patent No.
5,234,922, and titled Use of Sulfonylureas and Other Potassium Channel Regulators to Treat Secretory Diarrhoea, and in the inventions
described and claimed therein.
Trading update
The net proceeds of the fundraising completed in late June 2008 ("Net Funds") are not sufficient to complete the Phase 3 adaptive design
trial for CRO-HIV. The Company originally announced on 23 June 2008, that the Net Funds provided the Company with funds into August 2008 but
the Company can now announce that the Net Funds will provide the Company with funds into September 2008.
Napo received a "going concern" opinion from its US auditors, BDO Seidman LLP in conjunction with their audit of Napo's 2007 year end
results. The opinion states that the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
The Directors have plans to raise additional funds, which include: (a) pursuing a partnership(s) in relation to the development and
marketing of crofelemer; and (b) seeking additional funding strategies including debt and further equity issuances. If Napo does not raise
any additional funds then Napo will be forced to terminate or suspend some or all of its drugs trials including the CRO-HIV trial and
potentially cease operations.
The attached financial statements were compiled by Company management and have not been reviewed by an independent auditor.
Commenting on Napo's results, Ms Lisa Conte, Chief Executive Officer of Napo Pharmaceuticals Inc, said:
"We are making significant progress in our efforts to license crofelemer to a commercial pharmaceutical partner and are prioritizing
finding a partner to license the North American rights for crofelemer for people living with HIV/AIDS ("CRO-HIV"). The CRO-HIV trial, in our
opinion our strongest licensing asset, is ongoing in the US and we continue to expect a NDA filing around mid 2009. Enrolment for the
interim phase of the CRO-HIV trial is anticipated to be completed by year end and there will be an interim analysis following thereafter.
Our ability to meet trial timelines is predicated on securing additional funding. We will also be receiving clinical results from a trial in
cholera patients in Bangladesh before the end of 2008. I greatly appreciate the support we have received thus far from our shareholders."

Key Events
Highlights from the first six months of 2008 include the following:
Financing
In June 2008, Napo raised approximately US$2.1 million gross (US$2.0 million net) through the issue of approximately US$1.98 million of
convertible debt and approximately US$.1million through the issuance of Common Shares at 9.85 pence.
In March 2008, Napo entered into note and warrant purchase agreements for the issuance of convertible promissory notes that bear
interest at a rate of 3.2 per cent for a total of US$2,250,000.
In March 2008, Napo raised US$2.55 million gross, US$2.47 million net of expenses, through the issue of $2.25 million of convertible
debt and approximately US$0.3 million of common shares.
The overall impact of the first half financing activities on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company was that the Company's
convertible debt increased from US$1.0 million as at 31 December 2007 (US$0 as at 30 June 2007) to US$5.8 million as at 30 June 2008.
Ongoing Partnership Discussions
Napo has progressed commercial license discussions with at least two potential partners, with customary commercial pharmaceutical
license provisions including milestones and royalty payments. Any license agreement will be subject to mutual diligence and a definitive
agreement. Napo hopes to sign definitive agreement(s) in October, 2008.
IP Development
Napo reached agreement with the University of Iowa Research Foundation to obtain the non-exclusive, royalty-free license of United
States Patent No. 5,234,922 and titled Use of Sulfonylureas and Other Potassium Channel Regulators to Treat Secretory Diarrhoea, and in the
inventions described and claimed therein.
Napo obtained United States Patent No. 7,323,195 for "enteric formulations of proanthocyanindin polymer antidiarrheal compositions" from
the United States Patent Office.
People
Napo appointed Dr Jerome Ernst as Clinical Science Advisor
CRO-HIV
The final pivotal Phase 3 CRO-HIV trial is currently on-going at multiple sites in the United States. The trial, also referred to as the
ADVENT trial-(Anti-Diarrhoea therapy in HIV disease-Emerging treatmeNT concepts) is a randomised, double-blind, parallel-group,
placebo-controlled, two-stage, adaptive design study to assess the efficacy and safety of crofelemer at 125mg, 250 mg, and 500 mg oral doses
twice daily ("p.o.b.i.d") for the treatment of HIV-Associated Diarrhoea.
The ADVENT trial will be executed in two stages. Stage I represents a dose selection stage and Stage II a dose assessment stage. Four
dose groups (placebo, 125 mg, 250 mg, and 500 mg) will be assessed in Stage I. When 50 subjects per group complete the initial efficacy
dosing period (28 days), an interim analysis will be conducted to select an optimal single dose of crofelemer for Stage II. Stage II will
continue until an additional 75 subjects are randomised both to this dose of crofelemer and the placebo, providing for 125 patients on
placebo and 125 patients the selected crofelemer dose. The primary study analysis is planned after all subjects complete the 28-day efficacy
period. A full study analysis and final study report will be prepared at that time that will form the basis of a subsequent New Drug
Application (NDA) filing to FDA. Subjects who complete the efficacy part of the study will be allowed to continue into an open-label 5 month
extension. The purpose of the extension is to provide additional safety and tolerability information about crofelemer in longer term use.
Napo anticipates filing a NDA for CRO-HIV around mid-2009, assuming Napo's funding goals are achieved.
CRO-ID
Napo announced the positive results of a successfully completed Phase 2 trial for CRO-ID (crofelemer for the treatment of acute adult
infectious Diarrhoea) conducted by its partner, Glenmark. The primary endpoints of the trial were stool weight, duration of diarrhoea, stool
frequency and stool consistency; additional endpoints followed include degree of patient dehydration and reduction in gastrointestinal index
score.
The conclusions from the study were that treatment with crofelemer was well tolerated and resulted in statistically significant
improvements in all the primary endpoints and statistically significant reduction in the additional endpoints as well. Overall clinical
success was achieved in 79.1% of the evaluable patients receiving crofelemer compared to 28.2% of the evaluable patients receiving placebo.
There were no drug related adverse events associated with crofelemer.
The Phase 2 study was a randomised, parallel group, double-blind, placebo-controlled which enrolled 98 Indian adult male and female
patients aged between 18 to 65 years with acute Diarrhoea defined as the occurrence of three or more unformed stools (soft or watery
consistency) within the 24 hour period preceding entry into the study. Patients suffering from acute infectious Diarrhoea were dosed 250mg
of crofelemer, QID (4 times per day) until recovery or for a maximum of three days. Details regarding the stool weight, stool frequency,
stool consistency, duration of Diarrhoea, and other gastrointestinal symptoms were recorded by the investigators at baseline, and days 1, 2
and 3 of treatment. All patients had a scheduled follow-up visit 30 days after the end of the last dose.
In conclusion, adult Indian patients with infectious Diarrhoea treated with crofelemer showed a faster recovery with the first dose
itself as observed by the reduction in stool weight, stool frequency and passage of formed stools. Crofelemer was well tolerated and most
adverse events were mild to moderate in severity and not different from the placebo group. Furthermore, the adverse events disappeared with
continued therapy and causality was not attributed to the treatment.
Glenmark is Napo's exclusive licensee for crofelemer in over 140 countries for the indications of CRO-HIV, CRO-ID and CRO-PED. Glenmark
anticipates it will begin another dose-ranging trial for CRO-ID in 2008, investigating the opportunity to treat with lower doses and lower
frequency of dosing.
In combination with previous success in treating infectious diarrhoea in travellers in Mexico and Jamaica with crofelemer, Napo is
investigating the regulatory pathway to file an NDA for acute infectious Diarrhoea treatment with crofelemer coincident with its on-going
Phase 3 programme in chronic Diarrhoea in people living with HIV/AIDS (CRO-HIV).
Cholera Trial
The clinical study for crofelemer in cholera patients is complete and results are expected by the end of 2008. The trial was conducted
in Bangladesh at the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research. In total the trial enrolled 166 patients and tested varying
formulations and doses of crofelemer.
CRO-IBS
As noted previously, Napo reacquired worldwide rights to crofelemer for the indication of diarrhoea predominant irritable bowel syndrome
("D-IBS") in February 2008 after a single dose evaluation of crofelemer in a Phase 2 study in female D-IBS patients conducted by Trine
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Trine") failed to meet its endpoint. Trine previously conducted a dose ranging Phase 2 trial for crofelemer for
D-IBS in male and female D-IBS patients
An analysis of the data of the dose-ranging Phase 2 study in D-IBS patients indicates that crofelemer at a dose of 500 mg twice daily,
produced statistically and clinically meaningful improvement in pain-discomfort free days in female D-IBS patients. This improvement
represents an important observation with respect to a key regulatory endpoint for D-IBS. Crofelemer did not affect any other bowel function
parameters. This statistical analysis of the data was conducted by an independent third party.
The results from an outlier analysis of the dose-ranging Phase 2 study were presented at Digestive Disease Week in May 2007. In the
later single dose Phase 2 study with crofelemer, Trine evaluated a 125 mg twice daily dose of a different formulation of crofelemer from the
one used in the dose-ranging Phase 2 study. There were no serious drug related adverse events associated with crofelemer in either of the
Phase 2 studies in D-IBS patients.
Napo is currently in discussions with potential licensees regarding this indication.
NP 500
Napo entered into a license for a use patent and regulatory and other information regarding NP-500, a clinical stage product which in
pre-clinical animal studies has been shown to benefit symptoms of diabetes and cardiovascular risk factors known as metabolic disease, and
to mitigate risk of stroke. NP-500 is a known compound with a novel mechanism of action relative to agents currently approved and in
clinical testing. The compound has progressed through multi-dose Phase 1 testing.
Principal risks and uncertainties for the second half of 2008
The principal risks and uncertainties for the Company set out in the Company's prospectus published 28 September 2007 continue to apply
in all material respects to the second half of 2008. These are summarised as follows:
Risks relating to Napo's business
* Early stage development of Napo's products may mean that drug candidates may not receive regulatory approval and will require
considerable capital to develop before there is any possible return
* The Company has never made an operating profit and has a track record of losses. There are no assurances that it will achieve
significant resources or profitability
* Need to raise capital. The Company continues to require additional funds. The net proceeds of the fundraising completed in late
July 2008 only promote sufficient funds to finance the Company's working capital requirements into September 2008
* Market acceptance of Napo's products is uncertain and the failure of the Company's products to achieve market acceptance would
prevent it from ever generating meaningful product resources
* Research and development efforts may not result in additional drug candidates being discovered or additional delivery technologies
being developed
* Napo depends on key personal and it must continue to attract and retain key employees and consultants
* Napo has limited experience of selling and distributing products and currently has no initial capability to do so
* Developing country risk in some of the countries in which Napo does business
* Animal rights activists could adversely affect Napo's business
* Napo must manage the growth of its operations effectively
* If Napo faces product liability claims, damages may exceed its insurance cover
* Reimbursement from government and health administration bodies for newly approved products will be required in some countries and
is uncertain
* Exchange rate fluctuations may impact operations
* Competition from entities in the same sector may affect Napo's business
Risks relating to development and clinical testing and regulatory approval
* No guarantees that Napo will be able to demonstrate the efficacy or safety of the drug candidates in development or be able to
conduct the appropriate trials to provide this data
* Implementation, outcome and delays in clinical trials may affect the Company's ability to generate revenues
* The regulatory process is expensive, time consuming and uncertain
* Napo and its drug candidates will be subject to thorough ongoing regulatory review which will require the application of
significant time and money
* Failure to comply with laws regulating the protection of the environment and health and safety may expose the Company to
significant fees and other payments
Risks relating to Napo's reliance on third parties
* Napo relies on third parties for the development and exploitation of its products, manufacturing and supply of raw material
Risks relating to patents and other intellectual property
* Third party rights to intellectual property could affect the business and/or financial position
* Napo may not be able to protect adequately its technology and intellectual property rights
* If Napo infringes intellectual property rights of third parties, it may increase Napo's costs or prevent Napo from being able to
commercialise product programmes
* Adverse impact of third party patents on the manufacture and marketing of Napo's products.
* Breach of licence terms by Napo may have an adverse effect on Napo's right to use the licensed intellectual property

Financial Review
Six months ended 30 June 2008 compared to 30 June 2007
In the first six months of the year Napo had contract revenue of US$27 thousand compared to US$142 thousand related to the NIH-NIAID
grant associated with the development of a formulation of crofelemer for cholera.
Research and development expenses were US$8.7 million in the six month period ended 30 June 2008 compared to US$7.0 million in the six
months ended 30 June 2007. Included in expenses in the six month period ended 30 June 2008 was an expense of US$1.5 million related to the
in-license of a clinical and regulatory package for NP 500. Expenses related to manufacturing, formulation and packaging of clinical
supplies for the CRO-HIV trial collectively increased approximately $840 thousand over the prior year period. These increased expenses were
offset by approximately $500 thousand of reduced expenses for accrued compensation, travel and recruiting. In 2008, there was a decrease in
headcount in manufacturing and clinical and development functions compared to the period ending 30 June 2007. At the end of June 2008, there
were 14 research and development employees compared to 17 at the end of June 2007. In 2008, the Company recognised US$628 thousand of
non-cash expense related to stock based compensation compared to US$639 thousand in the prior year period.
General and administrative expenses were US$3.8 million in the six month period ended 30 June 2008 compared to US$3.6 million in the six
months ended 30 June 2007. Contributing factors to the increase in general and administrative expenses were increases in non-cash stock
based compensation of approximately US$232 thousand; costs associated with financing activities of US$154 thousand, occupancy expenses of
US$300 thousand including deferred rent of US$204 thousand and miscellaneous expenses of US$123 thousand; plus higher benefit and personnel
costs - US$159 thousand. These higher expenses were offset by decreases in legal expense of US$87 thousand, other operational costs of US$87
thousand; decreased travel costs of US$338 thousand and lower accrued compensation of US$92 thousand.
Net interest expense was US$3.0 million in the six months ended 30 June 2007 compared to US$494 thousand in the six months ended 30 June
2007 with the decrease attributable to the issuance of warrants to convertible debt investors and trade creditors in March 2008, as well as
lower cash balances in the six month period ended 30 June 2008 compared to the six months ended 30 June 2007.
Net loss for the six months ended 30 June 2008 was US$15.4 million compared to US$10.0 million in the period ended 30 June 2007. Net
loss attributable to common shareholders was US$15.8 million compared to US$10.3 million in the prior year period. The deemed dividend in
2008 and 2007 is associated with US$3.5 million of optionally redeemable convertible preferred shares issued by Napo India and Sindu, which
are India-based Napo subsidiaries, to ILFS Investment Management.
Cash and short term investments on hand at 30 June 2008 were US$1.1 million compared with US$7.2 million at December 2007. The decrease
from December 2007 to June 2008 is related to operating losses, offset by US$5.9 million gross proceeds from convertible debt and equity
investors in 2008.
Outlook
Napo is currently conducting a final pivotal Phase 3 trial for crofelemer for the CRO-HIV indication and costs related to this activity
will continue well into 2008 and 2009. The net proceeds of the fundraising completed in late June 2008 ("Net Funds") are not sufficient to
complete the aforementioned trial. The Net Funds provide the Company with funds into September 2008. The Directors have plans to raise
additional funds, which include: (a) pursuing a partnership(s) in relation to the development and marketing of crofelemer; and (b) seeking
additional funding strategies including debt and further equity issuances. If Napo does not raise any additional funds then Napo will be
forced to terminate or suspend some or all of its drugs trials including the CRO-HIV trial and potentially cease operations.
As mentioned in the Annual Report, Napo's auditing firm, BDO Seidman, LLP issued a going concern statement stating that the Company has
suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern.
Responsibility Statement
The Directors confirm to the best of their knowledge that:
(a) the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the European
Union;
(b) the interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.7, being an indication of important events
that have occurred during the first six months of the financial year and their impact on the condensed set of financial statements, and a
description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year; and
(c) the interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.8, being the disclosure of related party
transactions in the first six months of the financial year that have materially affected the financial position or performance of the entity
during the period and any material changes in the related party transactions described in the last Annual Report.

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Organisation, Business and Basis of Presentation
Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Napo" or "the Company") was incorporated on 15 November 2001 in Delaware and is focused on licensing,
developing and commercialising proprietary specialty pharmaceuticals for the global marketplace in collaboration with partners. Napo is
currently developing its proprietary product, crofelemer, for gastrointestinal indications such as diarrhoea-predominant Irritable Bowel
Syndrome ("D-IBS"), chronic diarrhoea in people living with HIV/AIDS (AIDS diarrhoea), paediatric diarrhoea and acute infectious diarrhoea.
The Company operates in one segment. Napo prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States on a basis consistent with that applied in the annual report. These consolidated interim financial statements have not
been reviewed by an independent auditing firm.
The Directors have confirmed to the best of their knowledge that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union. Under IAS 34 the Company is required to prepare its interim report
using the same accounting policies as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements (i.e. under US generally applicable
accounting policies). Pursuant to the EC Commission Decision of 4 December 2006 on the use by third country issuers of securities of
information prepared under internationally accepted accounting standards (2006/891/EC), prior to financial years starting on or after 1
January 2009 an issuer whose registered office is in a third country (such as the Company) may prepare its annual consolidated financial
statements and half-yearly consolidated financial statements in accordance with the accounting standards of the United States of America.
The Company is considered to be in the development stage as, since inception, its activities have consisted primarily of acquiring the
rights to crofelemer, raising capital, attracting employees, establishing facilities, performing research and development, entering into
agreements with other entities for the development and commercialisation rights to crofelemer and the analysis of its collection of plant
samples for bioactive molecules which could result in potential new drug candidates. Revenue received from inception to date includes
initial license payments and miscellaneous sales of non-core product obtained through the purchase of certain Shaman Pharmaceutical, Inc.
assets as discussed below.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Liquidity
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which
contemplates the realisation of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At 30 June 2008, Napo had an
accumulated deficit of approximately US$64.9 million and expects to incur substantial losses over the next several years while it continues
in the development stage. The Company's operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in the
early stages of operations, particularly in the evolving market for small biotech and specialty pharmaceuticals companies. Such risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, timing and uncertainty of achieving milestones in clinical trials and in obtaining approvals
by the Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") and regulatory agencies in other countries, not only by the Company, but by its licensees as
well. The ability to generate revenues in the future will depend substantially on the timing and success of reaching development milestones and in obtaining regulatory approvals and
market acceptance of the Company's products, assuming the FDA, and similar regulatory authorities in other countries, approves new drug
applications.
The Company plans to meet its future capital requirements and to complete its clinical studies to obtain the necessary FDA approvals
requires substantial amounts of additional sources of funding. Management has plans to raise additional funds, which include: (a) pursuing a
partnership(s) in relation to the development and marketing of crofelemer; and (b) seeking additional funding strategies including debt and
further equity issuances
There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining a partnership or sufficient funding on acceptable terms, if at
all. If Napo is unable to secure additional funding or shareholders, if required, do not approve such financing, Napo would have to curtail
certain expenditures which it considers necessary for optimizing the probability of success of Napo's clinical development programs,
including delaying the CRO-HIV clinical trial which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the
Company's management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its financial statements and the
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to,
valuation of stock based compensation, impairment of long lived assets, impairment of intangible assets and valuation of deferred tax
assets.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Cash and Cash Equivalents
The financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk are cash equivalents and short-term
investments. The counterparty to the agreement relating to the Company's investment securities is a financial institution of high credit
standing. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash
is placed with a high-credit quality financial institution. Cash is generally in excess of FDIC insurance limits. Napo is exposed to credit
risk in the event of default by the financial institution holding the cash to the extent of the amount recorded on the balance sheet. The
carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates estimated market value at 30 June 2008.
Short-Term Investments
All short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and therefore carried at estimated fair value based on quoted market
prices. All investments are highly liquid (can be liquidated in less than one month) with a ready market. The Company views its
available-for-sale portfolio as available for use in its current operations. Accordingly, all investments are classified as short-term, even
though the stated maturity date may be one year or more beyond the current balance sheet date. Available-for-sale securities are stated at
estimated fair value based upon the quoted market price of the securities. Unrealized gains and losses on such securities are reported as a
separate component of stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in interest
income/expense. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities classified
as available-for-sale are included in interest income.
The following table summarizes the maturities of the Company's investments at 30 June 2008 (US$):
Fair Value
Due in 2028 700,000
Due in 2040 100,000
Total 800,000
Intangible Asset
In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, the
Company performs an annual impairment test for the intangible asset. If the carrying amount is in excess of the fair value, an impairment
loss will be recorded. No impairment has been recorded through the date of these financial statements.
The purchased intangible asset represents a composition of matter patent on crofelemer. A composition of matter patent affords patent
protection on the novel chemical structure of crofelemer, previously undescribed in the scientific literature. The purchased intangible
asset is carried at cost, net of accumulated amortization and is amortized over its remaining estimated useful life of nine years; the
remaining legal patent life without extensions.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three years.
Foreign Currency Translation
Napo translates the assets and liabilities of its foreign subsidiaries to US$ at the rates of exchange in effect at the end of the
period. Expenses are translated using rates of exchange in effect during the period.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company reviews
long-lived assets, including property and equipment and patents, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated
undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount.
Impairment, if any, is assessed using discounted cash flows or other appropriate measures of fair value. Through 30 June 2008, there have
been no such losses.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist of expenses incurred in performing research and development activities including related
salaries, clinical trial and related drug product costs, contract services and other outside service expenses. Research and development
expenses are charged to operating expense in the period incurred.
Napo is currently conducting a trial for crofelemer for the indication of cholera. This trial is being conducted at the International
Center for Diarrhoeal Disease in Bangladesh. Approximately 60 patients have been treated since March 2006. Additionally, the Company is
conducting a Phase 3 trial for crofelemer for the indication of diarrhoea associated with HIV/AIDS.
Income Taxes
Napo uses the liability method for income taxes as required by SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities
and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Currently
there is no provision for income taxes as the Company has incurred net losses since inception. To date, Napo has no history of earnings.
Therefore, net deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent that realization of the related deferred tax asset is
not assured. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of its calculated deferred tax assets.
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No.
109" (FIN 48), which clarifies the recognition measurement, accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions. The Company is
subject to the provisions of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. The Company is subject to audit by the IRS and state authorities for all years
since inception. There are currently no ongoing examinations by these authorities. No changes were made to any liabilities for net
unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the implementation of FIN 48.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. The computation of basic net loss per share for all periods presented is derived from the information on the face of the statements
of operations, and there are no reconciling items in either the numerator or denominator.
Diluted net loss per common share is computed as though all potential common shares that are dilutive were outstanding during the year,
using the treasury stock method for the purposes of calculating the weighted-average number of dilutive common shares outstanding during the
period. Potential dilutive common shares consist of shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants. The Company has excluded
8,231,973 and 7,841,871 shares for the six months ended 30 June 2008 and 2007, respectively, from the diluted net loss calculation because
their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
Revenue Recognition
Napo has a federal government research grant which provides for the reimbursement of qualified expenses for research and development
related to a cholera study, as defined under the terms of the grant agreement. Revenue under this grant agreement is recognized when the
related qualified research expenses are incurred. Grant reimbursements are received on a quarterly or monthly basis and are subject to the
issuing agency's right of audit. During the six months ended 30 June 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized US$27,000 and US$142,000,
respectively, of revenue under this grant.
Milestone payments under research, partnering, or licensing agreements are recognized as revenue upon the achievement of mutually agreed
upon milestones, provided that (i) the milestone event is substantive and its achievement is not reasonably assured at the inception of the
agreement, and (ii) there are no performance obligations associated with the milestone payment.
Stock-Based Compensation
Effective 1 January 2002, Napo adopted the preferable fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Stock-Based Compensation. In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board "FASB") issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No.
123. SFAS 123(R) supercedes SFAS 123 and Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock
options, to be recognised in the financial statements based on their fair values at the date of grant and to record that cost as
compensation expense over the period during which the employee is required to perform service in exchange for the award (generally over the
vesting period of the award). Excess tax benefits, as defined by SFAS 123(R), will be recognized as an addition to additional paid-in
capital.
The Company has calculated stock-based compensation expense using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and included the portion of
share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during future periods. Historically, there have been few forfeitures.
Additionally, at this time, no forfeitures are anticipated in the foreseeable future. However, in the event that there are forfeitures,
estimates will be revised to reflect actual experience. Stock-based compensation expense is recognised on a straight-line basis.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be
measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material
impact on the Company's financial statements.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1. License and Other Agreements
Milestone Revenue
In June 2004, Napo entered into an agreement with Trine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Trine") regarding certain development responsibilities
and commercialization rights of crofelemer, including worldwide development and commercialization rights for IBS and co-development and
commercialisation rights in North America for HIV. In accordance with this agreement, Trine was required to make a US$1.0 million cash
milestone payment at the earlier of six months from the final study report or the initiation of the enrollment of a Phase 2b study. Trine
initiated patient enrollment in the study in October 2006 and subsequently paid the Company US$1.0 million, which has been recorded as
revenue during 2006 in these consolidated financial statements. In February 2008, full commercial rights of crofelemer previously licensed
to Trine have reverted to Napo, and Napo will receive 100% of the profits from each of these indications. These include worldwide rights to
CRO-IBS (previously a 65:35 Trine:Napo profit share); co-commercial rights to CRO-HIV in the US (previously a 50:50 profit share); acute infectious diarrhoea ("CRO-ID") rights in western territories;
as well as any future potential clinical indications, such as cancer or transplant patient related diarrhoeas, among others (which were also
all subject to the 65:35 Trine:Napo profit share).
As part of the termination, Napo has agreed to pay US$500,000 and US$750,000 CRO-HIV success milestone payments to Trine based on future
NDA filing, approval, and/or commercial alliances. There are no other future obligations to Trine.
Revenue from the License or Assignment of Intellectual Property Rights
The Company recognises revenue from the license or assignment of intellectual property rights to third parties, including development
milestone payments associated with such agreements if the funds have been received, the rights to the property have been delivered, and the
Company has no further obligations under the agreements in accordance with the date(s) when the payment has been received or collection is
assured. In June 2004, Napo recognised US$950,000 of license revenue from the grant of a license to Trine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for the
worldwide development and commercialisation rights to Crofelemer for the indication of D-IBS.
Royalty Revenue
In May and June 2005, the Company entered into licensing agreements with AsiaPharm Group Ltd, based in the Peoples Republic of China and
Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Limited, based in Mumbai, India, for the license of crofelemer for the indications of AIDS-related diarrhoea, acute
infectious diarrhoea and paediatric diarrhoea in their respective territories. AsiaPharm Group, through its subsidiary, AsiaPharm
Investments Ltd., invested in Napo's Series C preferred stock as did Glenmark Pharmaceuticals. No royalty revenue has been recognized from
these licenses to date.
License Agreement
In February 2007 Napo entered into a license agreement with a company to use certain regulatory information and existing patent held by
the licensor in its drug development program. In connection with the license, the Company paid a total of US$1.5 million as an upfront
license fee. Napo is committed to pay additional amounts totalling US$1.4 million upon the occurrence of certain future milestones. Future
royalty payments will also be due to the licensor in the event that the Company begins selling a product developed in connection with this
license. Prior to 31 December 2007, the amount was included as prepaid license fee in the consolidated financial statements. On 1 January
2008, it was determined that this asset has been impaired and thus the entire amount was recorded as research and development expense during
the six month period ended 30 June 2008.

3. Leases
The Company entered into a lease agreement in June 2007 for office space under a noncancelable operating lease, which expired in
December 2007. Previous to June 2007, this same space was leased on a month-to-month basis. From January through March 2008, this same space

property, the first being a sub-lease and the second being a primary lease with the ultimate landlord. Rent expense under these operating
leases amounted to US$294,000 and US$102,000 during the six month periods ended 30 June 2008 and 2007, respectively.

4. Commitments
On 14 November 2007, certain members of Napo management and all members of the Company's board of directors were granted the right to
receive an aggregate of 1,100,000 shares of the common stock of the Company upon the occurrence of certain criteria, including a 250%
increase in the value of Napo common stock from its price at the time of the grant. If the criteria are not met within two years from the
date of grant, the right to receive the shares will expire. If the criteria are met within two years from the date of grant, these shares
will be issued to the recipients and will be fully vested at that time. The exercise price for these shares is US$1.40. During the six month
period ended 30 June 2008, the right to receive 68,750 of these shares was forfeited by employees upon leaving the Company.

were granted the right to receive an aggregate of 2,165,000 shares of the common stock of the Company upon the occurrence of one of three
events, those events being an NDA approval for crofelemer, Napo common stock reaching a price per share of US$3.50 or a change of control.
If none of these three criteria are met within three years from the date of grant, the right to receive the shares will expire. If one or
more of the criteria are met within three years from the date of grant, these shares will be issued to the recipients and will be fully
vested at that time. The exercise price for these shares is US$0.0001.
The Company has at-will employment agreements with certain employees that provide severance payments, including healthcare benefits to
be paid in the event of a change of control of Napo, defined in the agreements as a transaction where more than 50 per cent of the total
combined voting power of its outstanding securities changes ownership, whereby pursuant to a change of control any of the following occur:
(i) the employment of these employees is not maintained; (ii) their compensation is changed; (iii) their job title is changed; or (iv) the
geographic location of their workplace is changed.
The severance payments vary in length from 6 months to 12 months of the employee's then current level of compensation, including
healthcare benefits, as set by the board of directors. As of 30 June 2008, the cost of such severance would equal US$1.3 million.
The Company's licensing agreements with licensees contain provisions whereby Napo has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless its
licensees from claims or damages arising from the licensing arrangements.

* Convertible Notes Payable
In December 2007 and January 2008, the Company issued convertible notes payable totaling US$1,475,000 (the "December and January
Notes"). These notes are for a term of three years and bear interest at 8% until the notes are paid or converted into common stock. The
notes may not be converted before an equity financing of $10 million or more or 1 July 2008, whichever is earlier. Only the principal is
convertible. Interest will be paid in cash. If the Company enters into an equity fundraising in excess of US$10 million prior to 1 July
2008, the notes are convertible into common stock at the same price as the investors in the financing. If no equity financing occurs prior
to 1 July 2008, the notes will be convertible into common stock at the ten day average price as traded on the London Stock Exchange. The
conversion price cannot be less than US$0.38 per share. It has been determined that the conversion feature embedded in the December and
January Notes should not be bifurcated and the host instrument is classified as a liability at 30 June 2008.
In March 2008, the December and January Notes were amended to have a maturity date of 31 May 2009. The Notes, as amended, are
convertible at US$0.55 per share, representing 2,665,896 common shares of Napo and holders of the notes also received warrants to purchase
1,332,948 shares of Napo for US$0.55 per share.
In March 2008, the Company issued convertible notes totaling US$2.3 million (the "March Notes"). The March Notes bear interest at 3.2%
and are due 31 July 2008. Up to 25% of the principal amount of these notes may be converted into 1,016,655 shares of common stock and the
note holders were also issued ten-year warrants to purchase 3,049,965 shares of common stock at US$0.55 per share. These notes were amended
to adjust the price per share of the warrants to US$.194. It has been determined that the conversion feature embedded in the March Notes
should not be bifurcated and the host instrument is classified as a liability at 30 June 2008.
In June 2008, Napo issued convertible notes totaling US$2.0 million (the *June Notes*). The June Notes are repayable on the first
anniversary of their issue and bear interest at 8% per annum, payable in cash or common stock. In most circumstances, the June Notes are
convertible after 90 days from issuance at the option of the holders into common stock at 9.85 pence per share. Up to 10,189,366 common
shares may be issued on conversion. Although the June Notes were issued in June 2008, US$1.5 million of the proceeds were not received until
July 2008. This amount is reflected as due from lender for convertible notes at 30 June 2008. It has been determined that the conversion
feature embedded in the June Notes should not be bifurcated and the host instrument is classified as a liability at 30 June 2008.
In June 2008, Napo issued convertible notes (the "Creditor") totaling US$120,000 to a trade creditor in settlement of payments due. This
trade creditor had previously agreed in March 2008 to defer US$100,000 of payments to 1 August 2008. The additional US$20,000 relates to
settlement of a payment due to the creditor arising after 1 August 2008. The Creditor Notes are repayable on the first anniversary of their
issue and bear interest at 8% per annum, payable in cash or common stock. In most circumstances, the Creditor Notes are convertible after 90
days from issuance at the option of the holder at 10.1 pence per share. Up to 606,366 common shares may be issued on conversion. It has been
determined that the conversion feature embedded in the Creditor Notes should not be bifurcated and the host instrument is classified as a
liability at 30 June 2008.

Optionally Convertible, Redeemable, Non-Cumulative, Non-Participating Preference Shares
In October 2007, IL&FS Investment Managers Limited (*IL&FS*), a third-party investor, invested US$500,000 in Sindu Private Limited
(*Sindu*) in exchange for 10 shares of Sindu common stock and 357,143 optionally convertible, redeemable, non-cumulative, non-participating
preference shares of Sindu having a par value of Rupee Ten (*Sindu OCRPS*). The Sindu OCRPS held by IL&FS has a term of four (4) years from
the completion of the subscriptions as set forth in the subscription agreement. During the four (4) year term, IL&FS can require Sindu to
sell in part or in full the number of shares that Sindu holds of Napo Pharmaceutical common stock and pay the proceeds to IL&FS. Also,
during the term, IL&FS can convert the OCRPSs into Sindu*s common shares, such that the value of Sindu*s common shares will be the initial
investment plus the 30% annualized premium. At the end of the four (4) year term, the redemption, as described below, is compulsorily
redeemable.
Subsequent to this investment, Napo US acquired 100% of the stock of Sindu. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Sindu at 30 June 2008.
The Sindu OCRPS have a redemption premium that yields for IL&FS an internal rate of return of 30 per cent per annum on their US$500,000
investment, calculated from the date of the investment in Sindu until the date of actual receipt by IL&FS of the redemption of the OCRPS.
This redemption premium resulted in deemed dividends of US$75,000 during the six months ended 30 June 2008.
In April 2006, IL&FS invested US$3 million in Napo India Private Limited (*Napo India*), a company organized by Napo for the purpose of
this investment and its ongoing activity in India, in exchange for 100 shares of Napo India and 3,529,412 optionally convertible,
redeemable, non-cumulative, non-participating preference shares of Napo India having a par value of Rupee One (*Napo India OCRPS*). Napo
India subsequently invested the US$3 million invested by IL&FS in the Company*s Series C Preferred Stock at US$0.85 per share pursuant to a
subscription agreement dated 19 April 2006. The Napo India OCRPS held by IL&FS has a term of four (4) years from the completion of the
subscriptions as set forth in the subscription agreement. During the four (4) year term subsequent to the initial public offering and
associated lock-up period, IL&FS can exchange, one for one, into common shares of Napo India, in part or in full, the OCRPSs; or require
Napo India to sell the common shares of Napo Pharmaceuticals it holds and pay the proceeds to IL&FS. If no action is taken during the four (4) year term and the term expires, the OCRPS is then compulsorily
exchangeable for an amount equal to the investment plus the 20% annualized redemption premium.
Subsequent to Napo India*s investment in Napo Series C Preferred stock, the Company bought 10,000 Shares of Napo India from the existing
shareholders of Napo India, and Napo India became an approximately 99 per cent owned subsidiary of the Company. These consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Napo India at 30 June 2008.
The Napo India OCRPS have a redemption premium that yields for IL&FS an internal rate of return of 20 per cent per annum on their
US$3,000,000 investment, calculated from the date of the investment in Napo India until the date of actual receipt by IL&FS of the
redemption of the OCRPS. This redemption premium resulted in deemed dividends of US$300,000 during each of the six months periods ended 30
June 2008 and 2007. In addition, it was determined that there was a beneficial conversion feature associated with the Napo India OCRPS due
to the fair value of the Company*s common stock being more than the price per share paid by the investor for the Napo India OCRPS. As such,
the Company recorded a deemed dividend of $2,294,118 in 2006.
The rights under these agreements are subject to any changes in current India law.

were options to purchase 1,575,000 shares outstanding under the 2006 Plan and 3,139,227 shares available for future grant.
The application of the Black-Scholes option valuation model (see Note 1) involves the use of assumptions that are judgmental and
sensitive in the determination of stock-based compensation expense. The key assumptions used in determining the fair value of options
granted during the six months ended 30 June 2008 and 2007 are as follows:
Six months
