THE “SAFE HARBOR” STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

Statements included herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties and are subject to change at any time. In the event such risks or uncertainties materialize, Shire’s results could be materially adversely affected. The risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, that:

· Shire’s products may not be a commercial success;

· revenues from ADDERALL XR are subject to generic erosion;

· the failure to obtain and maintain reimbursement, or an adequate level of reimbursement, by third-party payors in a timely manner for Shire's products may impact future revenues and earnings;

· Shire relies on a single source for manufacture of certain of its products and a disruption to the supply chain for those products may result in Shire being unable to continue marketing or developing a product or may result in Shire being unable to do so on a commercially viable basis;

· Shire uses third party manufacturers to manufacture many of its products and is reliant upon third party contractors for certain goods and services, and any inability of these third party manufacturers to manufacture products, or any failure of these third party contractors to provide these goods and services, in each case in accordance with its respective contractual obligations, could adversely affect Shire’s ability to manage its manufacturing processes or to operate its business;

· the development, approval and manufacturing of Shire’s products is subject to extensive oversight by various regulatory agencies and regulatory approvals or interventions associated with changes to manufacturing sites, ingredients or manufacturing processes could lead to significant delays, increase in operating costs, lost product sales, an interruption of research activities or the delay of new product launches;

· the actions of certain customers could affect Shire's ability to sell or market products profitably and fluctuations in buying or distribution patterns by such customers could adversely impact Shire’s revenues, financial conditions or results of operations;

· investigations or enforcement action by regulatory authorities or law enforcement agencies relating to Shire’s activities in the highly regulated markets in which it operates may result in the distraction of senior management, significant legal costs and the payment of substantial compensation or fines;

· adverse outcomes in legal matters and other disputes, including Shire’s ability to obtain, maintain, enforce and defend patents and other intellectual property rights required for its business, could have a material adverse effect on Shire’s revenues, financial condition or results of operations;

and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in Shire’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those risks outlined in “Item 1A: Risk Factors” in Shire’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.           Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)           Basis of preparation

These interim financial statements of Shire plc and its subsidiaries (collectively “Shire” or the “Company”) and other financial information included in this Form 10-Q, are unaudited. They have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations for interim reporting.

The balance sheet as at December 31, 2012 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP.

These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year to December 31, 2012.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. However, these interim financial statements include all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results of the interim period and the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

(b)           Use of estimates in interim financial statements

The preparation of interim financial statements, in conformity with US GAAP and SEC regulations, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are primarily made in relation to the valuation of intangible assets, the valuation of equity investments, sales deductions, income taxes (including provisions for uncertain tax positions and the realization of deferred tax assets), provisions for litigation and legal proceedings, contingent consideration receivable from product divestments and contingent consideration payable in respect of business combinations and asset purchases. If actual results differ from the Company’s estimates, or to the extent these estimates are adjusted in future periods, the Company’s results of operations could either benefit from, or be adversely affected by, any such change in estimate.

(c)           New accounting pronouncements

Adopted during the period

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets (Other than Goodwill) Impairment Testing

In July 2012 the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on the testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, performing the impairment test is unnecessary. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as a likelihood of more than 50 percent. An entity also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to performing the impairment test and may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The guidance has been adopted prospectively from January 1, 2013. The adoption of the guidance did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Disclosure about offsetting assets and liabilities

In December 2011 the FASB issued guidance on disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. In January 2013 the FASB amended the previous guidance to clarify the scope of guidance issued in December 2011. The amended guidance requires entities to disclose both gross and net information about derivatives including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions

12

that are either offset in accordance with FASB guidance on topics “Balance Sheet” and “Derivatives and Hedging” or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement; to enable users of financial statements to understand the effects or potential effects of those arrangements on its financial position. The guidance has been adopted prospectively from January 1, 2013. The adoption of the guidance did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Enhanced disclosure of balance sheet offsetting as required by this guidance is included in Note 15.

Amounts reclassified out of Comprehensive Income

In February 2013 the FASB issued guidance on reporting amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance requires entities to provide information about the amount reclassified out of comprehensive income by component and presents either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required under US GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under US GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under US GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The guidance has been adopted prospectively from January 1, 2013. The adoption of the guidance did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

To be adopted in future periods

Presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit

In July 2013 the FASB issued guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward exists. The guidance requires entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward, except as follows: to the extent a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not adopted this guidance in the period. The Company is assessing the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

2.           Business combinations

Acquisition of SARcode Bioscience Inc. (“SARcode”)

On April 17, 2013 Shire completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding share capital of SARcode. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration totaled $368 million, comprising cash consideration paid on closing of $151 million and the fair value of contingent consideration payable of $217 million. The maximum amount of contingent cash consideration which may be payable by Shire in future periods is $525 million dependent upon achievement of certain clinical, regulatory and net sales milestones.

This acquisition brings the new Phase 3 compound, Lifitegrast, currently under development for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease, into Shire’s portfolio. Shire anticipates launching Lifitegrast in the United States as early as 2016 pending a positive outcome of the Phase 3 clinical development program and regulatory approvals. Shire is acquiring the global rights to Lifitegrast and will evaluate an appropriate regulatory filing strategy for markets outside of the United States.

The acquisition of SARcode has been accounted as a business combination using the acquisition method. The assets and liabilities assumed from SARcode have been recorded at their preliminary fair values at the date of acquisition, being April 17, 2013. The Company’s consolidated financial statements and results of operations include the results of SARcode from April 17, 2013. In the nine months to September 30, 2013 the Company’s consolidated income statement includes pre-tax losses of $17.4 million in relation to the post acquisition results of SARcode.

The purchase price allocation is preliminary pending the determination of the fair values of certain assets and liabilities assumed. The purchase price has been allocated on a preliminary basis to acquired in process research and

13

development (“IPR&D”) in respect of Lifitegrast ($412 million), net current liabilities assumed ($8.2 million), net non-current liabilities assumed, including deferred tax liabilities ($122.4 million) and goodwill ($86.6 million). The final determination of these fair values will be completed as soon as possible but no later than one year from the acquisition date. This acquisition resulted in goodwill of $86.6 million, which is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill includes the value of the assembled workforce and the related scientific expertise in ophthalmology which allows for potential expansion into a new therapeutic area.

In the nine months to September 30, 2013 the Company expensed costs of $14.7 million (2012: $nil) relating to the acquisition of SARcode (including charges related to the change in fair value of contingent consideration payable), which have been recorded within integration and acquisition costs in the Company’s consolidated income statement. 

Acquisition of Premacure AB (“Premacure”)

On March 8, 2013 Shire completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding share capital of Premacure. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration totaled $140.2 million, comprising cash consideration paid on closing of $30.6 million, and the fair value of contingent consideration payable of $109.6 million. The maximum amount of contingent cash consideration which may be payable by Shire in future periods, dependent upon the successful completion of certain development and commercial milestones, is $169 million. Shire will also pay royalties on relevant net sales.

Premacure is developing a protein replacement therapy (“PREMIPLEX”), currently in Phase 2 development, for the prevention of Retinopathy of Prematurity (“ROP”). ROP is a rare and potentially blinding eye disorder that primarily affects premature infants and is one of the most common causes of visual loss in childhood. Together, the acquisitions of SARcode and Premacure build Shire’s presence in the ophthalmology therapeutic area.

The acquisition of Premacure has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method. The assets and the liabilities assumed from Premacure have been recorded at their preliminary fair values at the date of acquisition, being March 8, 2013. The Company’s consolidated financial statements and results of operations include the results of Premacure from March 8, 2013.

The purchase price allocation is preliminary pending final determination of the fair values of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price has been allocated on a preliminary basis to acquired IPR&D in respect of PREMIPLEX ($151.8 million), net current liabilities assumed ($11.7 million), net non-current liabilities assumed, including deferred tax liabilities ($29.5 million) and goodwill ($29.6 million). The final determination of these fair values will be completed as soon as possible but no later than one year from the acquisition date. This acquisition resulted in goodwill of $29.6 million, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

In the nine months to September 30, 2013 the Company expensed costs of $9.8 million (2012: nil) relating to the acquisition of Premacure (including charges related to the change in fair value of contingent consideration payable), which have been recorded within integration and acquisition costs in the Company’s consolidated income statement.

Acquisition of Lotus Tissue Repair, Inc (“Lotus”)

On February 12, 2013 Shire completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding share capital of Lotus. The acquisition date fair value of consideration totaled $174.2 million, comprising cash consideration paid on closing of $49.4 million, and the fair value of contingent consideration payable of $124.8 million.  The maximum amount of contingent cash consideration which may be payable by Shire in future periods is $275 million. The amount of contingent cash consideration ultimately payable by Shire is dependent upon achievement of certain pre-clinical and clinical development milestones.

Lotus is developing a proprietary recombinant form of human collagen Type VII (“rC7”) as the first and only intravenous protein replacement therapy currently being investigated for the treatment of Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (“DEB”).  DEB is a devastating orphan disease for which there is no currently approved treatment option other than palliative care. The acquisition adds to Shire’s pipeline a late stage pre-clinical product for the treatment of DEB with global rights.

The acquisition of Lotus has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method. The assets and the liabilities assumed from Lotus have been recorded at their preliminary fair values at the date of acquisition, being February 12, 2013. The Company’s consolidated financial statements and results of operations include the results of Lotus from February 12, 2013.

The purchase price allocation is preliminary pending final determination of the fair values of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price has been allocated on a preliminary basis to acquired IPR&D in respect of rC7 ($176.7 million), net current assets assumed ($6.8 million), net non-current liabilities assumed, including deferred tax liabilities ($63.4 million) and goodwill ($54.1 million). The final determination of these fair values will be completed as soon

14

as possible but no later than one year from the acquisition date. This acquisition resulted in goodwill of $54.1 million, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

In the nine months to September 30, 2013 the Company expensed costs of $4.6 million (2012: $nil) relating to the acquisition of Lotus, which have been recorded within integration and acquisition costs in the Company’s consolidated income statement.

Supplemental disclosure of pro forma information

The unaudited pro forma financial information to present the combined results of the operations of Shire, SARcode Premacure and Lotus are not provided as the collective impacts of these acquisitions were not material to the Company’s results of operations for any period presented.

3.           Reorganization costs

Turnhout, Belgium Site Closure

On January 23, 2013 Shire announced that it had decided to proceed with a collective dismissal and business closure at its site in Turnhout, Belgium. This decision follows the conclusion of an information and consultation process. Shire will continue to sell RESOLOR in Europe and the supply of RESOLOR for patients in Europe who rely on the medicine will not be affected. In the three and nine months to September 30, 2013 the Company incurred reorganization costs totaling $1.8 million and $21.0 million, respectively relating to employee involuntary termination benefits and other re-organization costs. The closure of the Turnhout site is expected to be completed by the end of 2013.

“One Shire” business reorganization

On May 2, 2013, the Company announced that there would be a reorganization of the business to integrate the three divisions into a simplified “One Shire” organization in order to drive future growth and innovation. In the three and nine months to September 30, 2013, the Company incurred reorganization costs totaling $11.9 million and $36.6 million respectively, relating to contract termination and other reorganization costs (of which $10.6 million is accrued at September 30, 2013). The Company is continuing to evaluate both the total costs expected to be incurred and the timeframe for completion of this reorganization.

Decision to discontinue the construction of the new manufacturing facility in San Diego

On October 22, 2013 Shire announced that it had decided to discontinue the construction of its new manufacturing facility in San Diego. Shire will continue to manufacture DERMAGRAFT in its existing facility in La Jolla, and Shire’s ability to meet expected future demand for DERMAGRAFT is not impacted by this decision.  Shire is currently assessing possible disposal opportunities in relation to this facility. It is reasonably possible that charges to write down the carrying value of the assets related to this manufacturing facility may be required in future periods.

Goodwill arising on businesses acquired		621.3		644.5

In the nine months to September 30, 2013 the Company completed the acquisitions of SARcode, Premacure and Lotus, which resulted in goodwill of $86.6 million, $29.6 million and $54.1 million, respectively (see Note 2 for details).

As a result of the re-alignment of the business into a simplified “One Shire” organization, the Company now comprises one operating and one reportable segment (see note 18 for further details).

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually as at October 1 each year. This assessment is also performed whenever there is a change in circumstances that indicates the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable.

In the first quarter of 2013 the Company identified circumstances which indicated that the carrying value of goodwill in the Regenerative Medicine (“RM”) reporting unit may not be recoverable, which triggered an impairment test in advance of the annual testing date.

These circumstances included the results of an independent market research study of the DERMAGRAFT sales potential, commissioned by the Company, which was finalized late in the first quarter of 2013. In addition, while the Company still expects DERMAGRAFT to return to growth over coming quarters, the recently completed restructuring of the RM sales and marketing organization and the implementation of a new commercial model had a more pronounced impact than previously expected. As a result of these and other factors forecast future sales are now lower than at the time of acquisition.

The results of the Company’s March 31, 2013 impairment test showed that the carrying amount of the RM reporting unit exceeded its fair value and the implied value of the goodwill was $nil. As a result the Company recorded an impairment charge of $198.9 million related to the goodwill allocated to the RM reporting unit. The RM goodwill impairment charge is not deductible for tax purposes. This is the primary reason for the effective rate of tax in the nine months to September 30, 2013 (23%) being higher than the same period in 2012 (17%). Accumulated goodwill impairment as at September 30, 2013 was $198.9 million (December 31, 2012: $nil).

Key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the RM reporting unit included expected cash flows for the period from March 31, 2013 to December 31, 2023 and the associated discount rate of 15.1%, which was derived from management’s best estimate of the after-tax weighted average cost of capital for the RM reporting unit.

The Company determined the estimated fair value of the RM reporting unit using discounted cash flow analyses. Discounted cash flow analyses are dependent upon a number of quantitative and qualitative factors including estimates of forecasted revenue, profitability, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and terminal values. The discount rates applied in the discounted cash flow analyses also have an impact on the estimates of fair value, as use of a higher rate will result in a lower estimate of fair value.

Foreign currency translation		10.7			(6.6	)
As at September 30,		2,976.0			2,593.6

In the nine months to September 30, 2013 the Company acquired intangible assets totaling $733.2 million, relating to intangible assets acquired with SARcode, Premacure and Lotus (see Note 2 for further details).

In the second quarter of 2013 the Company reviewed certain IPR&D intangible assets acquired through Movetis N.V. (“Movetis”) for impairment and recognized an impairment charge of $19.9 million (2012: $27.0 million) recorded within R&D in the consolidated income statement, to write-down these IPR&D assets to their fair value. The fair values of these assets were determined using the income approach, which used significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs (see Note 16 for further details).

Management estimates that the annual amortization charge in respect of intangible assets held at September 30, 2013 will be approximately $170 million for each of the five years to September 30, 2018. Estimated amortization expense can be affected by various factors including future acquisitions, disposals of product rights, regulatory approval and subsequent amortization of acquired IPR&D projects, foreign exchange movements and the technological advancement and regulatory approval of competitor products.

Shire 2.75% Convertible Bonds due 2014

On May 9, 2007 Shire issued $1,100 million in principal amount of 2.75% convertible bonds due in 2014 and convertible into fully paid ordinary shares of Shire plc (the “Bonds”). The Bonds were issued at 100% of their principal amount, and

18

unless previously purchased and cancelled, redeemed or converted, will be redeemed on May 9, 2014 (the “Final Maturity Date”) at their principal amount.

The Bonds may be redeemed at the option of the Company, at their principal amount together with accrued and unpaid interest if: (i) at any time after May 23, 2012 if on no less than 20 dealing days in any period of 30 consecutive dealing days the value of Shire’s ordinary shares underlying each Bond in the principal amount of $100,000 would exceed $130,000; or (ii) at any time conversion rights have been exercised, and/or purchases and corresponding cancellations, and/or redemptions effected in respect of 85% or more in principal amount of Bonds originally issued

The Bonds are repayable in US dollars, but also contain provisions entitling the Company to settle redemption amounts in Pounds sterling or in the case of Final Maturity Date by delivery of the underlying ordinary shares and, if necessary, a cash top-up amount. As the Bonds will be redeemed within twelve months of the balance sheet date, the Bonds have been presented as a current liability at September 30, 2013.

(b)           Letters of credit and guarantees

At September 30, 2013 the Company had irrevocable standby letters of credit and guarantees with various banks and insurance companiestotaling $54 million, providing security for the Company’s performance of various obligations. These obligations are primarily in respect of the recoverability of insurance claims, lease obligations and supply commitments.

(c)           Collaborative arrangements

Details of significant updates in collaborative arrangements are included below:

In-licensing arrangements

Collaboration with Acceleron Pharma Inc. (“Acceleron”) for activin receptor type IIB class of molecules

In April 2013, following the results of toxicology studies, Shire discontinued development of HGT4510, returned Shire’s rights in the asset to Acceleron and discontinued the collaboration.

Out-licensing arrangements

Shire has entered into various collaborative arrangements under which the Company has out-licensed certain product or intellectual property rights for consideration such as up-front payments, development milestones, sales milestones and/or royalty payments. In some of these arrangements Shire and the licensee are both actively involved in the development and commercialization of the licensed product and have exposure to risks and rewards dependent on its commercial success. Under the terms of these arrangements, the Company may receive development milestone payments up to an aggregate amount of $39.0 million and sales milestones up to an aggregate amount of $71.5 million. The receipt of these substantive milestones is uncertain and contingent on the achievement of certain development milestones or the achievement of a specified level of annual net sales by the licensee. In the nine months to September 30, 2013 Shire received up-front and milestone payments totaling $3.0 million (2012: $6.0 million). In the nine months to September 30, 2013 Shire recognized milestone income of $4.5 million (2012: $6.7 million) in other revenues and $43.8 million (2012: $57.6 million) in product sales for shipment of product to the relevant licensee.

(d)           Commitments

(i)           Clinical testing

At September 30, 2013 the Company had committed to pay approximately $332 million (December 31, 2012: $425 million) to contract vendors for administering and executing clinical trials. The timing of these payments is dependent upon actual services performed by the organizations as determined by patient enrollment levels and related activities.

(ii)           Contract manufacturing

At September 30, 2013 the Company had committed to pay approximately $84 million (December 31, 2012: $125 million) in respect of contract manufacturing. The Company expects to pay $46 million of these commitments in 2013.

(iii)           Other purchasing commitments

At September 30, 2013 the Company had committed to pay approximately $101 million (December 31, 2012: $145 million) for future purchases of goods and services, predominantly relating to active pharmaceutical ingredients sourcing. The Company expects to pay $89 million of these commitments in 2013.

(iv)           Investment commitments

At September 30, 2013 the Company had outstanding commitments to subscribe for interests in companies and partnerships for amounts totaling $15 million (December 31, 2012: $15 million) which may all be payable in 2013, depending on the timing of capital calls.

(v)           Capital commitments

At September 30, 2013 the Company had committed to spend $109 million (December 31, 2012: $97 million) on capital projects.

(e)           Legal and other proceedings

The Company expenses legal costs as they are incurred.

The Company recognizes loss contingency provisions for probable losses when management is able to reasonably estimate the loss. When the estimated loss lies within a range, the Company records a loss contingency provision based on its best estimate of the probable loss. If no particular amount within that range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount is recorded.  Estimates of losses may be developed substantially before the ultimate loss is known, and are therefore refined each accounting period as additional information becomes known. In instances where the Company is unable to develop a reasonable estimate of loss, no loss contingency provision is recorded at that time. As information becomes known a loss contingency provision is recorded when a reasonable estimate can be made. The estimates are reviewed quarterly and the estimates are changed when expectations are revised. An outcome that deviates from the Company’s estimate may result in an additional expense or release in a future accounting period. At September 30, 2013 provisions for litigation losses, insurance claims and other disputes totaled $86.2 million (December 31, 2012: $130.5 million).

The Company’s principal pending legal and other proceedings are disclosed below. The outcomes of these proceedings are not always predictable and can be affected by various factors. For those legal and other proceedings for which it is considered at least reasonably possible that a loss has been incurred, the Company discloses the possible loss or range of possible loss in excess of the recorded loss contingency provision, if any, where such excess is both material and estimable.

VYVANSE

In May and June 2011, Shire was notified that six separate Abbreviated New Drug Applications ("ANDAs") were submitted under the Hatch-Waxman Act seeking permission to market generic versions of all approved strengths of VYVANSE. The notices were from Sandoz, Inc. ("Sandoz"); Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC ("Amneal"); Watson Laboratories, Inc.; Roxane Laboratories, Inc. ("Roxane"); Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; and Actavis Elizabeth LLC and Actavis Inc. (collectively, "Actavis").  Within the requisite 45 day period, Shire filed lawsuits for infringement of certain of Shire's VYVANSE patents in the US District Court for the District of New Jersey against each of Sandoz, Roxane, Amneal and Actavis; in the US District Court for the Central District of California against Watson Laboratories, Inc.; and in the US District Court for the

21

Eastern District of New York against Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Mylan Inc. (collectively "Mylan"). In February 2013, Shire withdrew its lawsuit against Watson following Watson’s withdrawal of its ANDA. On December 9, 2011, the District Court of New Jersey consolidated the Sandoz, Roxane, Amneal and Actavis cases. The filing of the lawsuits triggered a stay of approval of all six ANDAs for up to 30 months from the expiration of the new chemical entity exclusivity, which will expire on August 23, 2014. In December 2011 and February 2012, Shire received additional notifications that Mylan had filed further certifications challenging other VYVANSE patents listed in the Orange Book.  Within the requisite 45 day period, Shire filed a new lawsuit against Mylan, Johnson Matthey Pharmaceutical Materials and Johnson Matthey Inc. in New Jersey. In May 2012, the Mylan case that was filed in the Eastern District of New York was transferred and consolidated with the Mylan, Sandoz, Roxane, Amneal and Actavis cases in New Jersey. In December 2012, the parties completed a Markman briefing. A Markman hearing took place on August 5, 2013 and a ruling was rendered on August 8, 2013. No trial dates have been set.

INTUNIV

Between March 2010 and March 2011, Shire was notified that seven separate ANDAs had been submitted to the FDA under the Hatch-Waxman Act seeking permission to market generic versions of all approved strengths of INTUNIV. The ANDA filers were Actavis Inc., Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., Anchen, Inc., Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Impax Laboratories, Inc., Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Sandoz, Inc., and certain of their respective affiliates.  Shire filed lawsuits against each of these ANDA filers.  All of the lawsuits have now been settled.  Under the terms of the Actavis settlement, Actavis has a license to make and market Actavis' generic versions of INTUNIV in the United States on December 1, 2014.  Such sales will require the payment of a royalty of 25% of gross profits to Shire during the 180 day period of Actavis' exclusivity. All other parties with whom Shire has settled will be able to enter the market with their respective ANDA-approved products after Actavis’ 180 day exclusivity period has expired.  Each of the settlements included a consent judgment confirming that the proposed ANDA products infringe the patents-in-suit, U.S. Patents 6,287,599 and 6,811,794, and that those patents are valid and enforceable with respect to their respective proposed ANDA products.   U.S. Patent 5,854,290, which was originally asserted in some of the litigations, has been dedicated to the public.

FOSRENOL

Between February 2009 and December 2010 Shire was notified that four separate ANDAs had been submitted to the FDA under the Hatch-Waxman Act seeking permission to market generic versions of all approved strengths of FOSRENOL. The ANDA filers were Barr Laboratories, Inc.; Mylan, Inc.; Natco Pharma Limited and Alkem Laboratories Ltd., and certain of their respective affiliates. Shire filed lawsuits against each of these ANDA filers.  In April 2011, Shire and Barr reached a settlement and the lawsuit against Barr was dismissed.  The settlement provides Barr with a license to market its own generic version of FOSRENOL upon receiving FDA approval in the US on the earlier of the date of entry of another company’s generic version of FOSRENOL to the US market, or October 1, 2021.  Shire’s lawsuits against Mylan, Alkem and Natco have each been dismissed, and consequently, each of Mylan, Alkem and Natco may enter the US market upon FDA approval of their respective ANDA products.

LIALDA

In May 2010 Shire was notified that Zydus Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (“Zydus”) had submitted an ANDA under the Hatch-Waxman Act seeking permission to market a generic version of LIALDA. Within the requisite 45 day period, Shire filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the District of Delaware against Zydus and Cadila Healthcare Limited, doing business as Zydus Cadila. As of February 22, 2013, the case has been administratively closed.  No further activity will take place until after one of the parties files a motion to reopen the case.

In February 2012, Shire was notified that Osmotica Pharmaceutical Corporation ("Osmotica") had submitted an ANDA under the Hatch-Waxman Act seeking permission to market a generic version of LIALDA.  Within the requisite 45 day period, Shire filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against Osmotica. The filing of the lawsuit triggered a stay of approval of the ANDA for up to 30 months. The court has appointed a special master to assist with a Markman hearing and to preside over any discovery disputes. A Markman hearing took place on August 22, 2013 but no ruling has been rendered. No trial date has been set.

In March 2012, Shire was notified that Watson Laboratories Inc.-Florida had submitted an ANDA under the Hatch-Waxman Act seeking permission to market a generic version of LIALDA. Within the requisite 45 day period, Shire filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida against Watson Laboratories Inc.-Florida and Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The filing of the lawsuit triggered a stay of approval of the ANDA for up to 30 months. In August 2012, Shire filed an amended complaint adding Watson Pharma, Inc. and Watson Laboratories, Inc. as defendants. A Markman hearing was held on December 20, 2012 and a written Markman decision was given by the court on January 17, 2013. A trial took place in April, 2013 and on May 9, 2013 the trial court issued a decision finding that the proposed generic product infringes the patent-in-suit and that the patent is not invalid.  Watson has appealed the trial court’s ruling to the Court of Appeals of the Federal Circuit and a hearing is scheduled for December 2, 2013.

In April 2012, Shire was notified that Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Mylan”) had submitted an ANDA under the Hatch-Waxman Act seeking permission to market a generic version of LIALDA. Within the requisite 45 day period, Shire filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the Middle District of Florida against Mylan. The filing of the lawsuit triggered a stay of approval of the ANDA for up to 30 months. No date for a Markman hearing has been set. A trial is scheduled to occur in September, 2014.

ADDERALL XR

On November 1, 2010 Impax Laboratories, Inc. (“Impax”) filed suit against Shire in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York claiming that Shire was in breach of its supply contract for the authorized generic version of ADDERALL XR. On February 7, 2013 Shire and Impax settled this dispute and agreed to discontinue all court and related proceedings. Under the terms of the settlement Shire made a one-time cash payment to Impax of $48 million in the first quarter of 2013. Also as part of the settlement, the parties have entered into an amended supply agreement which will govern the supply of authorized generic ADDERALL XR from Shire to Impax until the end of the supply term on September 30, 2014.

In February 2011, Shire was notified that Watson Laboratories, Inc.-Florida had submitted an ANDA under the Hatch-Waxman Act seeking permission to market a generic version of all approved strengths of ADDERALL XR. Shire filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and certain of its affiliates for infringement of certain of Shire’s ADDERALL XR patents. Par Pharmaceutical, Inc. (the successor in interest to Watson's ANDA for ADDERALL XR) has withdrawn its ANDA, and the litigation was dismissed on January 23, 2013 by agreement between Shire, Watson and Par Pharmaceutical, Inc..

 In February 2013, Shire was notified that Neos Therapeutics, Inc. had submitted a New Drug Application under section 505(b)(2) of the Hatch Waxman Act (“505(b)(2) Application”). The 505(b)(2) Application was submitted with a paragraph IV certification for U.S. Reissued Patent Nos. RE41,148 and 42,096 listed in the Orange Book.  Within the requisite 45 day period, Shire filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of Texas against Neos Therapeutics, Inc. for infringement of those patents. The filing of the lawsuit triggered a stay of final approval of the 505(b)(2) Application for 30 months.  No trial date has been set.

Subpoena related to ADDERALL XR, DAYTRANA and VYVANSE

On September 23, 2009 the Company received a civil subpoena from the US Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General in coordination with the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania seeking production of documents related to the sales and marketing of ADDERALL XR, DAYTRANA and VYVANSE. The investigation covered whether Shire engaged in off-label promotion and other conduct that may implicate the civil False Claims Act.

On February 1, 2013 the Company announced it had reached an agreement in principle to resolve this matter.  The agreement also addresses sales and marketing practices relating to LIALDA and PENTASA pursuant to a subsequent voluntary disclosure made by the Company. Shire cooperated with the US Government throughout the process that led to this agreement in principle.

The Company has recorded a $57.5 million charge comprised of the agreement in principle amount, interest and costs, which has been charged to SG&A in the fourth quarter of 2012.  The agreement in principle is subject to change until this matter is finally resolved.  Discussions between the Company and the US Government are ongoing to establish a final resolution to the investigation.

Louisiana Complaint related to ADDERALL, ADDERALL XR, DAYTRANA, VYVANSE and INTUNIV

On July 22 and July 23, 2013, the State of Louisiana served Shire LLC and Shire US Inc., respectively, with a civil complaint filed in the 19th Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge. The complaint alleges that Shire’s sales, marketing, and promotion of ADDERALL, ADDERALL XR, DAYTRANA, VYVANSE and INTUNIV violated state law. The State is seeking monetary relief for its claims of fraud, redhibition, and unjust enrichment, as well as violations of Louisiana’s Medical Assistance Programs Integrity Law, Unfair Trade Practices Act, and anti-trust laws. Shire intends vigorously to defend these claims. Shire is not in a position at this time to predict the timing, result or outcome of these claims.

Investigation related to DERMAGRAFT

Shire understands that the Department of Justice, including the US Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division and the US Attorney’s Office for Washington, DC, is conducting civil and criminal investigations into the

23

sales and marketing practices of Advanced BioHealing Inc. (“ABH”) relating to DERMAGRAFT. Shire is cooperating fully with these investigations. Shire is not in a position at this time to predict the scope, duration or outcome of these investigations.

Civil Investigative Demand for ADDERALL XR, ADDERALL XR Authorized Generics and VYVANSE

On April 5, 2012 Shire received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the United States Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) requesting that Shire provide it with certain information regarding the supply and reported shortages of ADDERALL XR and its authorized generics and the marketing and sale of ADDERALL XR, its authorized generics and VYVANSE. Shire believes the CID was triggered by reports of product shortages of ADDERALL XR and the authorized generic products in 2011. Shire responded to the CID in 2012. On August 29, 2013, the FTC informed Shire that it was closing the investigation without taking any further action.

As at September 30, 2013	99.5	1.8	101.3

15.           Financial instruments

Treasury policies and organization

The Company’s principal treasury operations are coordinated by its corporate treasury function. All treasury operations are conducted within a framework of policies and procedures approved annually by the Board. As a matter of policy, the Company does not undertake speculative transactions that would increase its currency or interest rate exposure.

Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on restricted cash, cash and cash equivalents and on foreign exchange contracts on which interest is at floating rates. This exposure is primarily related to US dollar, Pounds sterling and Euro interest rates. As the Company maintains all of its cash, liquid investments and foreign exchange contracts on a short term basis for liquidity purposes, this risk is not actively managed. In the nine months to September 30, 2013 the average interest rate received on cash and liquid investments was less than 1% per annum. The largest proportion of these cash and liquid investments was in US dollar money market and liquidity funds.

The Company incurs interest at a fixed rate of 2.75% on its $1,100 million in principal amount convertible bonds due 2014.

No derivative instruments were entered into during the nine months to September 30, 2013 to manage interest rate exposure. The Company continues to review its interest rate risk and the policies in place to manage the risk.

24

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose Shire to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of short-term cash investments, derivative contracts and trade accounts receivable (from product sales and from third parties from which the Company receives royalties). Cash is invested in short-term money market instruments, including money market and liquidity funds and bank term deposits. The money market and liquidity funds in which Shire invests are all triple A rated by both Standard and Poor’s and by Moody’s credit rating agencies.

The Company is exposed to the credit risk of the counterparties with which it enters into derivative instruments. The Company limits this exposure through a system of internal credit limits which vary according to ratings assigned to the counterparties by the major rating agencies. The internal credit limits are approved by the Board and exposure against these limits is monitored by the corporate treasury function. The counterparties to these derivatives contracts are major international financial institutions.

The Company’s revenues from product sales in the US are mainly governed by agreements with major pharmaceutical wholesalers and relationships with other pharmaceutical distributors and retail pharmacy chains. For the year to December 31, 2012 there were three customers in the US that accounted for 50% of the Company’s product sales. However, such customers typically have significant cash resources and as such the risk from concentration of credit is considered acceptable. The Company has taken positive steps to manage any credit risk associated with these transactions and operates clearly defined credit evaluation procedures. However, an inability of one or more of these wholesalers to honor their debts to the Company could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

A substantial portion of the Company’s accounts receivable in countries outside of the United States is derived from product sales to government-owned or government-supported healthcare providers. The Company’s recovery of these accounts receivable is therefore dependent upon the financial stability and creditworthiness of the relevant governments.  In recent years the creditworthiness and general economic condition of a number of Eurozone countries (including Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain (the “Relevant Countries”)) has deteriorated. As a result, in some of these countries the Company is experiencing delays in the remittance of receivables due from government-owned or government-supported healthcare providers. The Company continued to receive remittances in relation to government-owned or government-supported healthcare providers in all the Relevant Countries in the nine months to September 30, 2013, including receipts of $53.5 million and $90.2 million in respect of Spanish and Italian receivables, respectively.

To date the Company has not incurred significant losses on accounts receivable in the Relevant Countries, and continues to consider that such accounts receivable are recoverable. The Company will continue to evaluate all its accounts receivable for potential collection risks and has made provision for amounts where collection is considered to be doubtful. If the financial condition of the Relevant Countries or other Eurozone countries suffer significant deterioration, such that their ability to make payments becomes uncertain, or if one or more Eurozone member countries withdraws from the Euro, additional allowances for doubtful accounts may be required, and losses may be incurred, in future periods. Any such loss could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Foreign exchange risk

The Company trades in numerous countries and as a consequence has transactional and translational foreign exchange exposures.

Transactional exposure arises where transactions occur in currencies different to the functional currency of the relevant subsidiary. The main trading currencies of the Company are the US dollar, Pounds Sterling, Swiss Franc and the Euro. It is the Company’s policy that these exposures are minimized to the extent practicable by denominating transactions in the subsidiary’s functional currency.

Where significant exposures remain, the Company uses foreign exchange contracts (being spot, forward and swap contracts) to manage the exposure for balance sheet assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies different to the functional currency of the relevant subsidiary. These assets and liabilities relate predominantly to intercompany financing and specific external receivables. The foreign exchange contracts have not been designated as hedging instruments. Cash flows from derivative instruments are presented within net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated cash flow statement, unless the derivative instruments are economically hedging specific investing or financing activities.

Translational foreign exchange exposure arises on the translation into US dollars of the financial statements of non-US dollar functional subsidiaries.

At September 30, 2013 the Company had 25 swap and forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding to manage currency risk.  The swap and forward contracts mature within 90 days. The Company did not have credit risk related contingent features or collateral linked to the derivatives.  The Company has master netting agreements with a number of  counterparties to these foreign exchange contracts and on the occurrence of specified events, the Company has the

25

ability to terminate contracts and settle them with a net payment by one party to the other. The Company has elected to present derivative assets and derivative liabilities on a gross basis in the consolidated balance sheet. As at September 30, 2013  the potential effect of rights of set off associated with the foreign exchange contracts would be an offset to both assets and liabilities of $0.4 million, resulting in net derivative assets and derivative liabilities of $3.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively. Further details are included below:

		Fair value	Fair value
		September 30,	December 31,
		2013	2012
		$’M	$’M
Assets	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	4.2	1.3
Liabilities	Other current liabilities	3.9	3.0

Net (losses)/ gains (both realized and unrealized) arising on foreign exchange contracts have been classified in the consolidated statements of income as follows:

	Location of net (loss)/gain recognized in income	Amount of net (loss)/gain recognized in income
In the nine months to		September 30,	September 30,
		2013	2012
		$’M	$’M
Foreign exchange contracts	Other income, net	(3.2)	9.5

These net foreign exchange (losses)/gains are offset within Other income, net by net foreign exchange gains/(losses) arising on the balance sheet items that these contracts were put in place to manage.

16.   Fair value measurement

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis

As at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 the following financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

	Carrying		Fair value

(1)  Available-for-sale securities are included within Investments in the consolidated balance sheet.

(2) Contingent consideration receivable is included within Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

(3) Contingent consideration payable is included within Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

Certain estimates and judgments were required to develop the fair value amounts. The fair value amounts shown above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company would realize upon disposition, nor do they indicate the Company’s intent or ability to dispose of the financial instrument.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each material class of financial instrument:

· Available-for-sale securities – the fair values of available-for-sale securities are estimated based on quoted market prices for those investments.

· Contingent consideration receivable – the fair value of the contingent consideration receivable has been estimated using the income approach (using a probability weighted discounted cash flow method).

· Foreign exchange contracts – the fair values of the swap and forward foreign exchange contracts have been determined using an income approach based on current market expectations about the future cash flows.

· Contingent consideration payable – the fair value of the contingent consideration payable has been estimated using the income approach (using a probability weighted discounted cash flow method).

27

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

The change in the fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration receivable and payables, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), are as follows:

Contingent consideration receivable
	2013			2012
	$'M			$'M
Balance at January 1,		38.3			37.8
Gain recognized in the income statement (within Gain on sale of product rights) due to change in fair value during the period		14.6			16.5
Reclassification of amounts to Other receivables within Other current assets		(13.9	)		(13.7	)
Amounts recorded to other comprehensive income (within foreign currency translation adjustments)		0.6			0.4

Quantitative Information about Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Quantitative information about the Company’s recurring Level 3 fair value measurements is included below:

Financial assets:	Fair Value at the Measurement Date
At September 30, 2013	Fair value	Valuation Technique	Significant unobservable Inputs	Range
	$'M
Contingent consideration receivable ("CCR")	39.6	Income approach (probability weighted discounted cash flow)	• Probability weightings applied to different sales scenarios • Future forecast royalties receivable at relevant contractual royalty rates • Assumed market participant discount rate	• 10 to 45% • $5 million to $158 million • 5.9%
Financial liabilities:	Fair Value at the Measurement Date
At September 30, 2013	Fair value	Valuation Technique	Significant unobservable Inputs	Range
	$'M
Contingent consideration payable	597.8	Income approach (probability weighted discounted cash flow)	• Cumulative probability of  milestones being achieved • Assumed market participant discount rate • Periods in which milestones are expected to be achieved • Forecast quarterly royalties payable on net sales of relevant products	• 18 to 57% (Weighted average) • 2.1 to 8.8% (Weighted average) • 2014 to 2024 • $1.0 to $7.6 million

The Company re-measures the CCR (relating to contingent consideration due to the Company following divestment of one of the Company’s products) at fair value at each balance sheet date, with the fair value measurement based on forecast cash flows, over a number of scenarios which vary depending on the expected performance outcome of the product following divestment. The forecast cash flows under each of these differing outcomes have been included in probability weighted estimates used by the Company in determining the fair value of the CCR.

29

Contingent consideration payable represents future milestones the Company may be required to pay in conjunction with various business combinations and future royalties payable as a result of certain business combinations and licenses. The amount ultimately payable by Shire in relation to business combinations is dependent upon the achievement of specified future milestones, such as the achievement of certain future development, regulatory and sales milestones. The Company assesses the probability, and estimated timing, of these milestones being achieved and re-measures the related contingent consideration to fair value each balance sheet date. The amount of contingent consideration which may ultimately be payable by Shire in relation to future royalties is dependent upon future net sales of the relevant products over the life of the royalty term. The Company assesses the present value of forecast future net sales of the relevant products and re-measures the related contingent consideration to fair value each balance sheet date.

The fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration receivable and payable could significantly increase or decrease due to changes in certain assumptions which underpin the fair value measurements. Each set of assumptions and milestones are specific to the individual contingent consideration receivable or payable. The assumptions include, among other things, the probability and expected timing of certain milestones being achieved, the forecast future net sales of the relevant products and related future royalties payable, the probability weightings applied to different sales scenarios of one of the Company’s divested products and forecast future royalties receivable under scenarios developed by the Company, and the discount rates used to determine the present value of contingent future cash flows. The Company regularly reviews these assumptions, and makes adjustments to the fair value measurements as required by facts and circumstances.

Assets Measured At Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis in the period using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

In the second quarter of 2013 the Company reviewed certain IPR&D intangible assets acquired through Movetis for impairment and recognized an impairment charge of $19.9 million, recorded within R&D in the consolidated income statement, to write-down these assets to their fair value. The fair value of these assets was determined using the income approach, which used significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. These unobservable inputs included, among other things, risk-adjusted forecast future cash flows to be generated by these assets and the determination of an appropriate discount rate to be applied in calculating the present value of forecast future cash flows. The fair value of these assets, determined at the time of the impairment review, was $20.3 million.

Quantitative information about Non-Recurring Level 3 Fair Value Measurements which occurred in the period is included below:

	Fair Value at the Measurement Date
At September 30, 2013	Fair value	Valuation Technique	Significant unobservable Inputs	Rate used
	$'M
Movetis-related IPR&D intangible assets	20.3	Income approach (discounted cash flow)	• Decline in forecast peak sales since last impairment test • Assumed market participant discount rate	• 50% • 8.9%

30

Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values as at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities which are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

	September 30, 2013				December 31, 2012
	Carrying				Carrying
	amount		Fair value		amount		Fair value
		$’M		$’M		$’M		$’M
Financial liabilities:
Convertible bonds (Level 1)		1,100.0		1,382.9		1,100.0		1,228.2
Building financing obligation (Level 3)		7.8		10.4		8.0		10.3

Certain estimates and judgments were required to develop the fair value amounts. The fair value amounts shown above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company would realize upon disposition, nor do they indicate the Company’s intent or ability to dispose of the financial instrument.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each material class of financial instrument:

· Convertible bonds – the fair value of Shire’s $1,100 million 2.75% convertible bonds due 2014 is determined by reference to the market price of the instrument as the convertible bonds are publicly traded.

· Building finance obligations - the fair value of building finance obligations are estimated based on the present value of future cash flows, and an estimate of the residual value of the underlying property at the end of the lease term, associated with these obligations.

The carrying amounts of other financial assets and liabilities materially approximate to their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these amounts.

18.           Segmental reporting

Historically the Company had three business units and three reportable segments: Specialty Pharmaceuticals (“SP”), Human Genetic Therapies (“HGT”) and RM.

On May 2, 2013 the Company announced that there would be a reorganization of the Company’s business to integrate these business units into a simplified “One Shire” organization in order to drive future growth and innovation. Consequently the SP, HGT and RM segments no longer exist.

Shire now comprises a single operating and reportable segment, consistent with the “One Shire” approach that underpins the business simplification. This segment is engaged in the discovery, development, licensing, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sale of innovative specialist medicines to meet significant unmet patient needs. This segment is supported by several key functions: a global research and development organization and a global supply chain organization, managed through the newly established pipeline group and technical operations group respectively, are utilized and responsible for the development and delivery of products to the market. Products are distributed and sold through the newly established in-line marketed products group which consists of five commercial units focused exclusively on commercial delivery to drive optimum performance of currently marketed products. The business is also supported by a simplified, centralized corporate function group. None of these functional groups meets all of the criteria to be an operating segment.

The reorganization to a single operating and reportable segment is consistent with the financial information regularly reviewed by the Executive Committee (which is Shire’s chief operating decision maker) for the purposes of evaluating performance, allocating resources, and planning and forecasting future periods.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Shire’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report.

Significant events in the three months to September 30, 2013 and recent developments

Pipeline

ABH-001 – for the treatment of Epidermolysis Bullosa

· This program has been discontinued as part of the reprioritization of Shire’s pipeline.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

Decision to discontinue the construction of the new manufacturing facility in San Diego

· On October 22, 2013 Shire announced that it had decided to discontinue the construction of its new manufacturing facility in San Diego. Shire will continue to manufacture DERMAGRAFT in its existing facility in La Jolla, and Shire’s ability to meet expected future demand for DERMAGRAFT is not impacted by this decision.  Shire is currently assessing possible disposal opportunities in relation to this facility.

Results of operations for the three months to September 30, 2013 and 2012

Financial highlights for the three months to September 30, 2013 are as follows:

· Product sales in the third quarter of 2013 grew strongly (up 13% to $1,195 million). On a Constant Exchange Rate (“CER”) basis, which is a Non GAAP measure, product sales were up 13%.   Eight of the Company’s products delivered double digit growth including VYVANSE(up 21% to $299 million), LIALDA/MEZAVANT (up 36% to $142 million), ELAPRASE (up 17% to $129 million), VPRIV (up 17% to $88 million), INTUNIV (up 17% to $81 million) and FIRAZYR(up 107% to $63 million). LIALDA/MEZAVANTsales in the third quarter of 2013 were particularly strong primarily due to growth in US market share.
Growth in total product sales was moderated by DERMAGRAFT (down 29% to $24 million), ADDERALL XR (down 20% to $81 million) and REPLAGAL (down 11% to $109 million). REPLAGAL product sales continue to be impacted by the return of competition to the Fabry market.

· Total revenues were up 12% to $1,237 million (2012: $1,100 million) as the growth in product sales was partially offset by lower royalties.

· Operating income was up 25% to $341 million (2012: $273 million) as total operating costs in the third quarter of 2013 increased at a lower rate (up 8%) than total revenues (up 12%) demonstrating Shire’s focus on delivering efficient growth. Research and Development expenditure was up 2% and Selling, General and Administrative expenditure was up 1%.

· Diluted earnings per ordinary share increased 23% to $0.49 (2012: $0.40), primarily due to higher operating income.

(2)  IMS NPA Data not available.

(3) Not sold in the US in the third quarter of 2013.

(4) The Company’s management analyzes product sales and revenue growth for certain products sold in markets outside of the US on a constant exchange rate (“CER”) basis, so that product sales and revenue growth can be considered excluding movements in foreign exchange rates. Product sales and revenue growth on a CER basis is a Non-GAAP financial measure (“Non-GAAP CER”), computed by comparing 2013 product sales and revenues restated using 2012 average foreign exchange rates to 2012 actual product sales and revenues. Average exchange rates for the three months and nine months to September 30, 2013 were $1.53:£1.00 and $1.32:€1.00 (2012: $1.58:£1.00 and $1.25:€1.00) and $1.55:£1.00 and $1.31:€1.00 (2012: $1.58:£1.00 and $1.29:€1.00).

VYVANSE – ADHD

VYVANSE product sales showed strong growth (up 21%) in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2012 due to higher prescription demand, which was up 7% in the quarter in addition to the benefit of price increases taken since the third quarter of 2012.

38

Litigation proceedings regarding Shire’s VYVANSE patents are ongoing. Further information about this litigation can be found in PART I: ITEM 1 of this Form 10-Q.

LIALDA/MEZAVANT – Ulcerative Colitis

Product sales for LIALDA/MEZAVANT in the third quarter of 2013 were up 36% primarily due to higher prescription demand (up 23%) and stocking in the third quarter of 2013 compared to a slight destocking in the third quarter of 2012, the benefit of which was partially offset by higher sales deductions in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to the third quarter of 2012.

Litigation proceedings regarding Shire’s LIALDA patents are ongoing. Further information about this litigation can be found in PART I: ITEM 1 of this Form 10-Q.

ELAPRASE – Hunter syndrome

ELAPRASE product sales in the third quarter of 2013 were up 17% compared to the third quarter of 2012 driven primarily by continued growth in the number of patients and higher utilization. Quarterly sales of ELAPRASE can be volatile due to the timings of large orders to certain markets which order less frequently. This accounts for the decline in sales from the second quarter of 2013 to the third quarter of 2013. The underlying number of patients being treated with ELAPRASE continues to grow.

REPLAGAL – Fabry disease

REPLAGAL sales were down 11% as compared to the third quarter of 2012 primarily due to lower volume in Europe due to the return of competition to the Fabry market and the timing of large orders in the third quarter of 2012 from markets that order less frequently.

VPRIV – Gaucher disease

VPRIV product sales were up 17% in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2012 as the number of patients on therapy continues to grow.

ADDERALL XR – ADHD

ADDERALL XR product sales decreased (down 20%) in the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher sales deductions as a percentage of sales in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to the third quarter of 2012.

Litigation proceedings regarding Shire’s ADDERALL XR patents are ongoing. Further information about this litigation can be found in PART I: ITEM 1 of this Form 10-Q.

INTUNIV – ADHD

The strong growth in INTUNIV product sales (up 17%) in the third quarter of 2013 was driven by a combination of increased US prescription demand (up 8%) and the effect of price increases 1 taken since the third quarter of 2012. The benefit of these increases was partially offset by higher sales deductions in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to the third quarter of 2012.

Further information about litigation proceedings regarding Shire’s INTUNIV patents can be found in PART I: ITEM 1 of this Form 10-Q.

PENTASA – Ulcerative Colitis

PENTASA product sales (up 5%) benefited from price increases1 taken since the third quarter of 2012, partially offset by higher sales deductions in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to the third quarter of 2012.

FIRAZYR – Hereditary Angioedema

FIRAZYR product sales growth (up 107%) was primarily driven by the US market, where the number of new patients on therapy continues to grow strongly.

DERMAGRAFT – Diabetic Foot Ulcers

DERMAGRAFT product sales were down 29% compared to the third quarter of 2012.

1 The actual net effect of price increases on current period net sales compared to the comparative period is difficult to quantify due to the various managed care rebates, Medicaid discounts, other discount programs in which the Company participates and fee for service agreements with wholesalers customers.

Cost of product sales

Cost of product sales increased to $197.1 million for the three months to September 30, 2013 (16% of product sales), from $167.9 million in the corresponding period in 2012 (16% of product sales). Cost of product sales as a percentage of product sales remained constant in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to the third quarter of 2012. For the three months to September 30, 2013 cost of product sales included depreciation of $11.0 million (2012: $9.4 million).

R&D

R&D expenditure increased by 2% to $229.1 million for the three months to September 30, 2013 (19% of product sales), compared to $224.7 million in the corresponding period in 2012 (21% of product sales), due to the Company’s continued investment in its R&D pipeline, primarily on non-ADHD programs for LDX, on SHP602 for iron overload and the impact of development programs acquired through business development in 2013 including Lifitegrast. This growth was offset by reduced costs in relation to programs which have been discontinued following the Company’s pipeline prioritization review.

R&D in the three months to September 30, 2013 included depreciation of $6.3 million (2012: $5.5 million).

SG&A

SG&A expenditure increased by 1% to $441.1 million (37% of product sales) for the three months to September 30, 2013 from $437.4 million (41% of product sales) in the corresponding period in 2012, primarily due to higher legal and litigation costs incurred in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2012.  Excluding legal and litigation costs SG&A remained broadly constant, as the Company continues to focus on simplifying its business and delivering efficient growth.

For the three months to September 30, 2013 SG&A included depreciation of $16.5 million (2012: $14.2 million) and amortization of $44.4 million (2012: $50.0 million).

Gain on sale of product rights

For the three months to September 30, 2013 Shire recorded a gain on sale of product rights of $3.6 million (2012: $5.7 million) following re-measurement of the contingent consideration receivable from the divestment of DAYTRANA.

Reorganization costs

For the three months to September 30, 2013 Shire recorded reorganization costs of $13.7 million (2012: $nil) primarily relating to the “One Shire” reorganization as the Company transitions to a new operating structure.

Integration and acquisition costs

For the three months to September 30, 2013 Shire recorded integration and acquisition costs of $18.4 million primarily associated with charges related to the change in fair value of contingent consideration and the costs of integrating SARcode Biosciences Inc. (“SARcode”) and Premacure AB (“Premacure”). In the third quarter of 2012 integration and acquisition costs ($2.7 million) primarily related to the acquisition of FerroKin Biosciences, Inc. (“FerroKin”) and the integration of Advanced BioHealing Inc. (“ABH”).

40

Interest expense

For the three months to September 30, 2013 Shire incurred interest expense of $9.0 million (2012: $9.2 million), which principally relates to the coupon on Shire’s $1,100 million 2.75% convertible bonds due May 2014.

Taxation

For the three months to September 30, 2013 the effective rate of tax was 16% (2012: 15%).

The effective rate of tax in the third quarter of 2013 is higher than the same period in 2012 due primarily to adverse changes in profit mix and changes in provisions for uncertain tax positions partially offset by changes in estimates of the amount of certain tax liabilities following the finalisation of various tax returns.

VYVANSE – ADHD

VYVANSE product sales showed strong growth in the nine months to September 30, 2013, up 16% compared to the same period in 2012, primarily as a result of higher prescription demand (up 7%) and in addition to the benefit of price increases1 taken since September 30, 2012, the benefit of which was partially offset by higher sales deductions and higher destocking in the nine months to September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

Litigation proceedings regarding Shire’s VYVANSE patents are ongoing. Further information about this litigation can be found in PART I: ITEM 1 of this Form 10-Q.

43

LIALDA/MEZAVANT – Ulcerative Colitis

Product sales for LIALDA/MEZAVANT showed strong growth in the nine months to September 30, 2013, up 32%. The growth is primarily due to higher prescription demand (up 16%) which benefited from new Managed Care contracts in the US and stocking in the nine months to September 30, 2013 compared to destocking in the same period in 2012. To a lesser extent1 sales also benefited from the effect of a price increase taken since September 30, 2012, offset by the effect of higher US sales deductions.

Litigation proceedings regarding Shire’s LIALDA patents are ongoing. Further information about this litigation can be found in PART I: ITEM 1 of this Form 10-Q.

ELAPRASE – Hunter syndrome

Product sales from ELAPRASE in the nine months to September 30, 2013 were up 10% compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to growth in underlying patient numbers.

REPLAGAL – Fabry disease

REPLAGAL revenues were down 11% in the nine months to September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to the return of competition to the Fabry market in Europe and the impact of price.

ADDERALL XR – ADHD

ADDERALL XR product sales decreased in the nine months to September 30, 2013 (down 16%) compared to the same period in 2012, primarily as a result of lower US prescription demand (down 12%) following the introduction of a new generic competitor in June 2012 and the effect of higher sales deductions partially offset by the effect of stocking in the nine months to September 30, 2013 compared to destocking in the same period in 2012.

Litigation proceedings regarding Shire’s ADDERALL XR patents are ongoing. Further information about this litigation can be found in PART I: ITEM 1 of this Form 10-Q.

INTUNIV – ADHD

The strong growth in INTUNIV product sales (up 20%) in the nine months to September 30, 2013 was driven by both growth in US prescription demand and the effect1 of price increases taken since September 30, 2012, the benefit of which was partially offset by higher destocking in the nine months to September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

Further information about litigation proceedings regarding Shire’s INTUNIV patents can be found in PART I: ITEM 1 of this Form 10-Q.

VPRIV – Gaucher disease

VPRIV product sales increased by 10% in the nine months to September 30, 2013, primarily due to the continued growth in the number of patients on therapy.

PENTASA – Ulcerative Colitis

PENTASA product sales (up 9%) benefited from both price increases1 taken since September 30, 2012 and the impact of stocking in the nine months to September 30, 2013 compared to destocking in the same period in 2012.

FIRAZYR – Hereditary Angioedema (“HAE”)

FIRAZYR product sales (up 88%) showed strong growth reflecting the continuing global growth of the product, particularly in the US market.

DERMAGRAFT – DFU

DERMAGRAFT product sales in the nine months to September 30, 2013 were down by 52% compared to the same period in 2012.

1 The actual net effect of price increases on current period net sales compared to the comparative period is difficult to quantify due to the various managed care rebates, Medicaid discounts, other discount programs in which the Company participates and fee for service agreements with wholesalers customers.

R&D

R&D expenditure increased to $713.4 million for the nine months to September 30, 2013 (20% of product sales), compared to $683.6 million in the corresponding period in 2012 (21% of product sales). In the nine months to September 30, 2012 R&D included payments of $23.0 million in respect of in-licensed and acquired products and intangible asset impairment charges of $27.0 million compared to impairment charges of $19.9 million in 2013. Excluding these costs R&D increased by $60 million or 9% due to the Company’s continued investment in its R&D pipeline, primarily on non-ADHD programs for LDX, SHP602 for iron overload, and the impact of development programs acquired through business development in 2013 including Lifitegrast. This growth was offset by reduced costs in relation to programs which have been discontinued following the Company’s pipeline prioritization review.

R&D in the nine months to September 30, 2013 included depreciation of $15.2 million (2012: $18.3 million), and impairment charges in respect of the Company’s RESOLOR IPR&D intangible assets of $19.9 million (2012: $27.0 million).

SG&A

SG&A expenditure decreased to $1,337.4 million (38% of product sales) for the nine months to September 30, 2013 from $1,448.4 million (44% of product sales) in the corresponding period in 2012, primarily due to the Company’s continuing focus on simplifying its business and delivering efficient growth. In the nine months to September 30, 2012 SG&A also included higher legal and litigation costs and higher intangible amortization expense which were not incurred in the same period in 2013.

For the nine months to September 30, 2013 SG&A included depreciation of $49.3 million (2012: $42.3 million) and amortization of $136.1 million (2012: $146.6 million).

Goodwill impairment charges

In the nine months to September 30, 2013 Shire recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $198.9 million (2012: $nil) in relation to the RM business. Following a review of future forecasts for the RM business unit, management determined in the first quarter of 2013 that future sales were expected to be lower than anticipated at the time of acquisition and

45

consequently in accordance with US GAAP, it was determined that the goodwill attributable to the RM business unit was impaired.

Gain on sale of product rights

For the nine months to September 30, 2013 Shire recorded a gain on sale of product rights of $14.6 million (2012: $16.5 million) following re-measurement of the contingent consideration receivable from the divestment of DAYTRANA.

Reorganization costs

For the nine months to September 30, 2013 Shire recorded reorganization costs of $57.6 million (2012: $nil), relating to the collective dismissal and business closure at Turnhout, Belgium and the “One Shire” reorganization as the Company transitions to a new operating structure.

Integration and acquisition costs

For the nine months to September 30, 2013 Shire recorded integration and acquisition costs of $39.9 million primarily associated with the acquisitions of SARcode and Lotus and the integration of FerroKin in addition to charges related to the change in fair value of contingent consideration. In 2012 integration and acquisition costs of $15.1 million primarily related to the acquisition of FerroKin and the integration of ABH.

Interest expense

For the nine months to September 30, 2013 Shire incurred interest expense of $27.0 million (2012: $29.0 million), which principally relates to the coupon on Shire’s $1,100 million 2.75% convertible bonds due 2014.

Taxation

For interim reporting purposes, the Company calculates its tax expense by estimating its global annual effective tax rate and applies that rate in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis. The Company has calculated an expected annual effective tax rate, excluding significant, unusual or extraordinary items, and the tax effect of jurisdictions with losses for which a tax benefit cannot be recognized.  In the nine months to September 30, 2013 the effective rate of tax was 23% (2012: 17%). The effective rate of tax for the nine months to September 30, 2013 is higher than the same period in 2012 due primarily to the impact of the goodwill impairment charge recorded in the first quarter of 2013 which is not deductible for tax purposes and adverse changes in profit mix partially offset by changes in estimates of the amount of certain tax liabilities following the finalization of various tax returns.

46

Financial condition at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012

Accounts receivable, net

Accounts receivable, net increased by $213.6 million to $1,037.8 million (December 31, 2012: $824.2 million), primarily due to the increase in revenue in the nine months to September 30, 2013. Days sales outstanding increased to 55 days (December 31, 2012: 50 days).

Other intangible assets, net

Other intangible assets increased by $587.9 million to $2,976.0 million (December 31, 2012: $2,388.1 million), due to the IPR&D assets acquired with SARcode, Premacure and Lotus, offset by intangible asset amortization, IPR&D impairment and foreign exchange movements.

Convertible bonds

Current liabilities have increased by $1,100 million due to the reclassification of the Company’s $1,100 million 2.75% convertible bonds due 2014 from non-current to current liabilities in 2013 as the Company is required to redeem the Bonds within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

Non-current deferred tax liabilities

Non-current deferred tax liabilities increased by $201.2 million to $722.0 million (December 31, 2012: $520.8 million), primarily due to deferred tax liabilities arising on the IPR&D assets acquired with SARcode, Premacure and Lotus.

Other non-current liabilities

Other non-current liabilities increased by $410.7 million to $652.3 million (December 31, 2012: $241.6 million) primarily due to the recognition of non-current contingent consideration payable related to the SARcode, Premacure and Lotus business combinations.

47

Liquidity and capital resources

General

The Company’s funding requirements depend on a number of factors, including the timing and extent of its development programs; corporate, business and product acquisitions; the level of resources required for the expansion of certain manufacturing and marketing capabilities as the product base expands; increases in accounts receivable and inventory which may arise with any increase in product sales; competitive and technological developments; the timing and cost of obtaining required regulatory approvals for new products; the timing and quantum of milestone payments on collaborative projects; the timing and quantum of tax and dividend payments; the timing and quantum of purchases by the EBT of Shire shares in the market to satisfy awards granted under Shire’s employee share plans; the timing and quantum of purchases of Shire shares under the share buy-back program; and the amount of cash generated from sales of Shire’s products and royalty receipts.

An important part of Shire’s business strategy is to protect its products and technologies through the use of patents, proprietary technologies and trademarks, to the extent available. The Company intends to defend its intellectual property and as a result may need cash for funding the cost of litigation.

The Company finances its activities through cash generated from operating activities; credit facilities; private and public offerings of equity and debt securities; and the proceeds of asset or investment disposals.

Shire’s balance sheet includes $1,686.1 million of cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2013. Substantially all of Shire’s debt relates to its $1,100 million 2.75% convertible bonds due 2014 (the “Bonds”). In addition, Shire has a revolving credit facility of $1,200 million which matures in 2015 (the “RCF”), which is currently undrawn.

Financing

Shire anticipates that its operating cash flow together with available cash, cash equivalents and the RCF will be sufficient to meet its anticipated future operating expenses, share buy-back program, capital expenditures, tax and interest payments, lease obligations and milestone payments as they become due over the next twelve months.

If the Company decides to acquire other businesses, it expects to fund these acquisitions from existing cash resources, the RCF and possibly through new borrowings and the issue of new equity if necessary.

Share buy-back program

Shire has a strong balance sheet and continued robust cash generation, and considers efficient use of capital on behalf of shareholders an important objective. Therefore, during the year to December 31, 2012 the Company commenced a share buy-back program, for the purpose of returning funds to shareholders, of up to $500 million through both direct purchases of ordinary shares and through the purchase of ordinary shares underlying American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”).

At September 30, 2013 the Company had made on-market repurchases totaling 9,755,400 Ordinary shares at a cost of $297.0 million (excluding transaction costs). This represents 1.73% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the end of the quarter. Ordinary Shares purchased may be cancelled or be held as treasury shares, in accordance with the authority renewed by shareholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting (“AGM”).  At its AGM on April 24, 2012 the Company was authorized to make market purchases of up to 56,253,208of its own Ordinary Shares. That authority expired at the AGM held on April 30, 2013 and was renewed.  Under the new authority, which expires on the earlier of July 29, 2014 or the conclusion of the 2014 AGM, the Company was authorized to make market purchases of up to 55,741,587of its own Ordinary Shares.

Sources and uses of cash

The following table provides an analysis of the Company’s gross and net cash/ debt position (excluding restricted cash), as at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

	September 30,		December 31,
	2013		2012
		$’M		$’M
Cash and cash equivalents1		1,686.1		1,482.2
Convertible bonds		1,100.0		1,100.0
Other		8.9		9.3
Total debt		1,108.9		1,109.3
Net cash		577.2		372.9

(1) Substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held by foreign subsidiaries (i.e. those subsidiaries incorporated outside of Jersey, Channel Islands, the jurisdiction of incorporation of Shire plc, Shire’s holding company). The amount of cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries has not had, and is not expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s liquidity and capital resources.

Cash flow activity

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months to September 30, 2013 decreased by 16% or $158.5 million to $852.7 million (2012: $1,011.2 million), as higher cash receipts from gross product sales were more than offset by higher cash tax payments, lower royalty receipts and the payment to settle the litigation with Impax ($48 million) (see note 13 for details). The nine months to September 30, 2012 also included strong cash receipts from government-supported healthcare providers in Spain.

Net cash used in investing activities was $321.0 million in the nine months to September 30, 2013, principally relating to the cash paid (net of cash acquired) for the acquisitions of SARcode, Premacure and Lotus and for purchases of PP&E.

49

Net cash used in investing activities was $215.6 million in the nine months to September 30, 2012, relating to the payment of $97.0 million to acquire Ferrokin and certain assets and liabilities from Pervasis, $43.5 million for the purchase of intangible assets, and $91.6 million on the purchase of PP&E.

Net cash used in financing activities was $327.3 million for the nine months to September 30, 2013, principally due to the purchase of shares under the share buy-back program, purchase of shares by the EBT and the dividend payment.

Net cash used in financing activities was $88.6 million for the nine months to September 30, 2012, principally the dividend payment and the purchase of shares by the EBT, which more than offset the excess tax benefit associated with the exercise of stock options.

Goodwill arising on businesses acquired	621.3	644.5
	____________	____________

In the nine months to September 30, 2013 the Company completed the acquisitions of SARcode, Premacure and Lotus, which resulted in goodwill of $86.6 million, $29.6 million and $54.1 million, respectively (see Note 2 for details).

As a result of the re-alignment of the business into a simplified “One Shire” organization, the Company now comprises one operating and one reportable segment (see note 18 for further details).

	____________	____________

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually as at October 1 each year. This assessment is also performed whenever there is a change in circumstances that indicates the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable.

In the first quarter of 2013 the Company identified circumstances which indicated that the carrying value of goodwill in the Regenerative Medicine (“RM”) reporting unit may not be recoverable, which triggered an impairment test in advance of the annual testing date.

These circumstances included the results of an independent market research study of the DERMAGRAFT sales potential, commissioned by the Company, which was finalized late in the first quarter of 2013. In addition, while the Company still expects DERMAGRAFT to return to growth over coming quarters, the recently completed restructuring of the RM sales and marketing organization and the implementation of a new commercial model had a more pronounced impact than previously expected. As a result of these and other factors forecast future sales are now lower than at the time of acquisition.

The results of the Company's March 31, 2013 impairment test showed that the carrying amount of the RM reporting unit exceeded its fair value and the implied value of the goodwill was $nil. As a result the Company recorded an impairment charge of $198.9 million related to the goodwill allocated to the RM reporting unit. The RM goodwill impairment charge is not deductible for tax purposes. This is the primary reason for the effective rate of tax in the nine months to September 30, 2013 (23%) being higher than the same period in 2012 (17%). Accumulated goodwill impairment as at September 30, 2013 was $198.9 million (December 31, 2012: $nil).

Key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the RM reporting unit included expected cash flows for the period from March 31, 2013 to December 31, 2023 and the associated discount rate of 15.1%, which was derived from management's best estimate of the after-tax weighted average cost of capital for the RM reporting unit.

The Company determined the estimated fair value of the RM reporting unit using discounted cash flow analyses. Discounted cash flow analyses are dependent upon a number of quantitative and qualitative factors including estimates of forecasted revenue, profitability, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and terminal values. The discount rates applied in the discounted cash flow analyses also have an impact on the estimates of fair value, as use of a higher rate will result in a lower estimate of fair value.

In the nine months to September 30, 2013 the Company acquired intangible assets totaling $733.2 million, relating to intangible assets acquired with SARcode, Premacure and Lotus (see Note 2 for further details).

In the second quarter of 2013 the Company reviewed certain IPR&D intangible assets acquired through Movetis N.V. (“Movetis”) for impairment and recognized an impairment charge of $19.9 million (2012: $27.0 million) recorded within R&D in the consolidated income statement, to write-down these IPR&D assets to their fair value. The fair values of these assets were determined using the income approach, which used significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs (see Note 16 for further details).

Management estimates that the annual amortization charge in respect of intangible assets held at September 30, 2013will be approximately $170million for each of the five years to September 30, 2018.Estimated amortization expense can be affected by various factors including future acquisitions, disposals of product rights, regulatory approval and subsequent amortization of acquired IPR&D projects, foreign exchange movements and the technological advancement and regulatory approval of competitor products.

(1)Available-for-sale securities are included within Investments in the consolidated balance sheet.

(2)Contingent consideration receivable is included within Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

(3)Contingent consideration payableis included within Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

Certain estimates and judgments were required to develop the fair value amounts. The fair value amounts shown above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company would realize upon disposition, nor do they indicate the Company's intent or ability to dispose of the financial instrument.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each material class of financial instrument:

• Available-for-sale securities – the fair values of available-for-sale securities are estimated based on quoted market prices for those investments.
• Contingent consideration receivable – the fair value of the contingent consideration receivable has been estimated using the income approach (using a probability weighted discounted cash flow method).
• Foreign exchange contracts – the fair values of the swap and forward foreign exchange contracts have been determined using an income approach based on current market expectations about the future cash flows.
• Contingent consideration payable – the fair value of the contingent consideration payable has been estimated using the income approach (using a probability weighted discounted cash flow method).

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

The change in the fair value of the Company's contingent consideration receivable and payables, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3),are as follows:

Contingent consideration receivable
	2013	2012
	$'M	$'M

Quantitative Information about Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Quantitative information about the Company's recurring Level 3 fair value measurements is included below:

	____________	____________	____________	____________
Financial liabilities:	Fair Value at the Measurement Date

	____________	____________	____________	____________

The Company re-measures the CCR (relating to contingent consideration due to the Company following divestment of one of the Company's products) at fair value at each balance sheet date,with the fair value measurement based on forecast cash flows, over a number of scenarios which vary depending on the expected performance outcome of the product following divestment. The forecast cash flows under each of these differing outcomes have been included in probability weighted estimates used by the Company in determining the fair value of the CCR.

Contingent consideration payable represents future milestones the Company may be required to pay in conjunction with various business combinations and future royalties payable as a result of certain business combinations and licenses. The amount ultimately payable by Shire in relation to business combinations is dependent upon the achievement of specified future milestones, such as the achievement of certain future development, regulatory and sales milestones. The Company assesses the probability, and estimated timing, of these milestones being achieved and re-measures the related contingent consideration to fair value each balance sheet date. The amount of contingent consideration which may ultimately be payable by Shire in relation to future royalties is dependent upon future net sales of the relevant products over the life of the royalty term. The Company assesses the present value of forecast future net sales of the relevant products and re-measures the related contingent consideration to fair value each balance sheet date.

The fair value of the Company's contingent consideration receivable and payable could significantly increase or decrease due to changes in certain assumptions which underpin the fair value measurements. Each set of assumptions and milestones are specific to the individual contingent consideration receivable or payable. The assumptions include, among other things, the probability and expected timing of certain milestones being achieved, the forecast future net sales of the relevant products and related future royalties payable, the probability weightings applied to different sales scenarios of one of the Company's divested products and forecast future royalties receivable under scenarios developed by the Company, and the discount rates used to determine the present value of contingent future cash flows. The Company regularly reviews these assumptions, and makes adjustments to the fair value measurements as required by facts and circumstances.

Assets Measured At Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis in the period using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

In the second quarter of 2013 the Company reviewed certain IPR&D intangible assets acquired through Movetis for impairment and recognized an impairment charge of $19.9 million, recorded within R&D in the consolidated income statement, to write-down these assets to their fair value. The fair value of these assets was determined using the income approach, which used significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. These unobservable inputs included, among other things, risk-adjusted forecast future cash flows to be generated by these assets and the determination of an appropriate discount rate to be applied in calculating the present value of forecast future cash flows. The fair value of these assets, determined at the time of the impairment review, was $20.3 million.

Quantitative information about Non-Recurring Level 3 Fair Value Measurements which occurred in the period is included below:

	Fair Value at the Measurement Date
At September 30, 2013	Fair value	Valuation Technique	Significant unobservable Inputs	Rate used
	$'M

Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values as at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 of the Company's financial assets and liabilities which are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012

	____________	____________	____________	___________

Certain estimates and judgments were required to develop the fair value amounts. The fair value amounts shown above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company would realize upon disposition, nor do they indicate the Company's intent or ability to dispose of the financial instrument.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each material class of financial instrument:

• Convertible bonds – the fair value of Shire's $1,100 million 2.75% convertible bonds due 2014 is determined by reference to the market price of the instrument as the convertible bonds are publicly traded.
• Building finance obligations - the fair value of building finance obligations are estimated based on the present value of future cash flows, and an estimate of the residual value of the underlying property at the end of the lease term, associated with these obligations.

The carrying amounts of other financial assets and liabilities materially approximate to their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these amounts.

Effective rate of tax	23.00%	17.00%
Goodwill facts and circumstances leading to impairment	Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually as at October 1 each year. This assessment is also performed whenever there is a change in circumstances that indicates the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. In the first quarter of 2013 the Company identified circumstances which indicated that the carrying value of goodwill in the Regenerative Medicine (“RM”) reporting unit may not be recoverable, which triggered an impairment test in advance of the annual testing date. These circumstances included the results of an independent market research study of the DERMAGRAFT sales potential, commissioned by the Company, which was finalized late in the first quarter of 2013. In addition, while the Company still expects DERMAGRAFT to return to growth over coming quarters, the recently completed restructuring of the RM sales and marketing organization and the implementation of a new commercial model had a more pronounced impact than previously expected. As a result of these and other factors forecast future sales are now lower than at the time of acquisition.
Discount Rate	15.10%
Goodwill impairment method for fair value determination	The results of the Company’s March 31, 2013 impairment test showed that the carrying amount of the RM reporting unit exceeded its fair value and the implied value of the goodwill was $nil. As a result the Company recorded an impairment charge of $198.9 million related to the goodwill allocated to the RM reporting unit. The RM goodwill impairment charge is not deductible for tax purposes. This is the primary reason for the effective rate of tax in the nine months to September 30, 2013 (23%) being higher than the same period in 2012 (17%). Accumulated goodwill impairment as at September 30, 2013 was $198.9 million (December 31, 2012: $nil). Key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the RM reporting unit included expected cash flows for the period from March 31, 2013 to December 31, 2023 and the associated discount rate of 15.1%, which was derived from management’s best estimate of the after-tax weighted average cost of capital for the RM reporting unit. The Company determined the estimated fair value of the RM reporting unit using discounted cash flow analyses. Discounted cash flow analyses are dependent upon a number of quantitative and qualitative factors including estimates of forecasted revenue, profitability, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and terminal values. The discount rates applied in the discounted cash flow analyses also have an impact on the estimates of fair value, as use of a higher rate will result in a lower estimate of fair value

Derivative Instrument Detail [Abstract]

Financial Instruments Disclosure

15.Financial instruments

Treasury policies and organization

The Company's principal treasury operations are coordinated by its corporate treasury function. All treasury operations are conducted within a framework of policies and procedures approved annually by the Board. As a matter of policy, the Company does not undertake speculative transactions that would increase its currency or interest rate exposure.

Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on restricted cash, cash and cash equivalents and on foreign exchange contracts on which interest is at floating rates. This exposure is primarily related to US dollar, Pounds sterling and Euro interest rates. As the Company maintains all of its cash, liquid investments and foreign exchange contracts on a short term basis for liquidity purposes, this risk is not actively managed. In the nine months to September 30, 2013 the average interest rate received on cash and liquid investments was less than 1% per annum. The largest proportion of these cash and liquid investments was in US dollar money market and liquidity funds.

The Company incurs interest at a fixed rate of 2.75% on its $1,100 million in principal amount convertible bonds due 2014.

No derivative instruments were entered into during the nine months to September 30, 2013 to manage interest rate exposure. The Company continues to review its interest rate risk and the policies in place to manage the risk.

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose Shire to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of short-term cash investments, derivative contracts and trade accounts receivable (from product sales and from third parties from which the Company receives royalties). Cash is invested in short-term money market instruments, including money market and liquidity funds and bank term deposits. The money market and liquidity funds in which Shire invests are all triple A rated by both Standard and Poor's and by Moody's credit rating agencies.

The Company is exposed to the credit risk of the counterparties with which it enters into derivative instruments. The Company limits this exposure through a system of internal credit limits which vary according to ratings assigned to the counterparties by the major rating agencies. The internal credit limits are approved by the Board and exposure against these limits is monitored by the corporate treasury function. The counterparties to these derivatives contracts are major international financial institutions.

The Company's revenues from product sales in the US are mainly governed by agreements with major pharmaceutical wholesalers and relationships with other pharmaceutical distributors and retail pharmacy chains. For the year to December 31, 2012 there were three customers in the US that accounted for 50% of the Company's product sales. However, such customers typically have significant cash resources and as such the risk from concentration of credit is considered acceptable. The Company has taken positive steps to manage any credit risk associated with these transactions and operates clearly defined credit evaluation procedures. However, an inability of one or more of these wholesalers to honor their debts to the Company could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

A substantial portion of the Company's accounts receivable in countries outside of the United States is derived from product sales to government-owned or government-supported healthcare providers. The Company's recovery of these accounts receivable is therefore dependent upon the financial stability and creditworthiness of the relevant governments. In recent years the creditworthiness and general economic condition of a number of Eurozone countries (including Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain (the “Relevant Countries”)) has deteriorated. As a result, in some of these countries the Company is experiencing delays in the remittance of receivables due from government-owned or government-supported healthcare providers. The Company continued to receive remittances in relation to government-owned or government-supported healthcare providers in all the Relevant Countries in the nine months to September 30, 2013, including receiptsof$53.5million and $90.2million in respect of Spanish and Italian receivables, respectively.

To date the Company has not incurred significant losses on accounts receivable in the Relevant Countries, and continues to consider that such accounts receivable are recoverable. The Company will continue to evaluate all its accounts receivable for potential collection risks and has made provision for amounts where collection is considered to be doubtful. If the financial condition of the Relevant Countries or other Eurozone countries suffer significant deterioration, such that their ability to make payments becomes uncertain, or if one or more Eurozone member countries withdraws from the Euro, additional allowances for doubtful accounts may be required, and losses may be incurred, in future periods. Any such loss could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

Foreign exchange risk

The Company trades in numerous countries and as a consequence has transactional and translational foreign exchange exposures.

Transactional exposure arises where transactions occur in currencies different to the functional currency of the relevant subsidiary. The main trading currencies of the Company are the US dollar, Pounds Sterling, Swiss Franc and the Euro. It is the Company's policy that these exposures are minimized to the extent practicable by denominating transactions in the subsidiary's functional currency.

Where significant exposures remain, the Company uses foreign exchange contracts (being spot, forward and swap contracts) to manage the exposure for balance sheet assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies different to the functional currency of the relevant subsidiary. These assets and liabilities relate predominantly to intercompany financing and specific external receivables. The foreign exchange contracts have not been designated as hedging instruments. Cash flows from derivative instruments are presented within net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated cash flow statement, unless the derivative instruments are economically hedging specific investing or financing activities.

Translational foreign exchange exposure arises on the translation into US dollars of the financial statements of non-US dollar functional subsidiaries.

At September 30, 2013the Company had 25 swap and forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding to manage currency risk. The swap and forward contracts mature within 90 days. The Company did not have credit risk related contingent features or collateral linked to the derivatives. The Company has master netting agreements with a number of counterparties to these foreign exchange contracts and on the occurrence of specified events, the Company has the ability to terminate contracts and settle them with a net payment by one party to the other. The Company has elected to present derivative assets and derivative liabilities on a gross basis in the consolidated balance sheet. As at September 30, 2013 the potential effect of rights of set off associated with the foreign exchange contracts would be an offset to both assets and liabilities of $0.4million, resulting in net derivative assets and derivative liabilities of $3.8million and $3.5million, respectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)       Basis of preparation

These interim financial statements of Shire plc and its subsidiaries (collectively “Shire” or the “Company”) and other financial information included in this Form 10-Q, are unaudited. They have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations for interim reporting.

The balance sheet as at December 31, 2012 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP.

These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year to December 31, 2012.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. However, these interim financial statements include all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results of the interim period and the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

(b)       Use of estimates in interim financial statements

The preparation of interim financial statements, in conformity with US GAAP and SEC regulations, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are primarily made in relation to the valuation of intangible assets, the valuation of equity investments, sales deductions, income taxes (including provisions for uncertain tax positions and the realization of deferred tax assets), provisions for litigation and legal proceedings, contingent consideration receivable from product divestmentsandcontingent consideration payable in respect of business combinations and asset purchases. If actual results differ from the Company's estimates, or to the extent these estimates are adjusted in future periods, the Company's results of operations could either benefit from, or be adversely affected by, any such change in estimate.

(c)       New accounting pronouncements

Adopted during the period

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets (Other than Goodwill) Impairment Testing

In July 2012 the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on the testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, performing the impairment test is unnecessary. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as a likelihood of more than 50 percent. An entity also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to performing the impairment test and may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The guidance has been adopted prospectively from January 1, 2013. The adoption of the guidance did not impact the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Disclosure about offsetting assets and liabilities

In December 2011 the FASB issued guidance on disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. In January 2013 the FASB amended the previous guidance to clarify the scope of guidance issued in December 2011. The amended guidance requires entities to disclose both gross and net information about derivatives including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with FASB guidance on topics “Balance Sheet” and “Derivatives and Hedging” or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement; to enable users of financial statements tounderstand the effects or potential effects of those arrangements on its financial position. The guidance has been adopted prospectively from January 1, 2013. The adoption of the guidance did not impact the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Enhanced disclosure of balance sheetoffsetting as required by this guidance is included in Note 15.

Amounts reclassified out of Comprehensive Income

In February 2013 the FASB issued guidance on reporting amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance requires entities to provide information about the amount reclassified out of comprehensive income by component and presents either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required under US GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under US GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under US GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The guidance has been adopted prospectively from January 1, 2013. The adoption of the guidance did not impact the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

To be adopted in future periods

Presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit

In July 2013 the FASB issued guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward exists. The guidance requires entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward, except as follows: to the extent a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not adopted this guidance in the period. The Company is assessing the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting Disclosure

18.       Segmental reporting

Historically the Company had three business units and three reportable segments: Specialty Pharmaceuticals (“SP”), Human Genetic Therapies (“HGT”) and RM.

On May 2, 2013 the Company announced that there would be a reorganization of the Company's business to integrate these business units into a simplified “One Shire” organization in order to drive future growth and innovation. Consequently the SP, HGT and RM segmentsno longer exist.

Shire now comprises a single operating and reportable segment, consistent with the “One Shire” approach that underpins the business simplification. This segment is engaged in the discovery, development, licensing, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sale of innovative specialist medicines to meet significant unmet patient needs. This segment is supported by several key functions: a global research and development organization and a global supply chain organization, managed through the newly established pipeline group and technical operations group respectively, are utilized and responsible for the development and delivery of products to the market. Products are distributed and sold through the newly established in-line marketed products group which consists of five commercial units focused exclusively on commercial delivery to drive optimum performance of currently marketed products. The business is also supported by a simplified, centralized corporate function group. None of these functional groups meets all of the criteria to be an operating segment.

The reorganization to a single operating and reportable segment is consistent with the financial information regularly reviewed by the Executive Committee (which is Shire's chief operating decision maker) for the purposes of evaluating performance, allocating resources, and planning and forecasting future periods.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2013

Basis of preparation

(a)       Basis of preparation

These interim financial statements of Shire plc and its subsidiaries (collectively “Shire” or the “Company”) and other financial information included in this Form 10-Q, are unaudited. They have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations for interim reporting.

The balance sheet as at December 31, 2012 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP.

These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year to December 31, 2012.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. However, these interim financial statements include all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results of the interim period and the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

Use of estimates in consolidated financial statements

(b)       Use of estimates in interim financial statements

The preparation of interim financial statements, in conformity with US GAAP and SEC regulations, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are primarily made in relation to the valuation of intangible assets, the valuation of equity investments, sales deductions, income taxes (including provisions for uncertain tax positions and the realization of deferred tax assets), provisions for litigation and legal proceedings, contingent consideration receivable from product divestmentsandcontingent consideration payable in respect of business combinations and asset purchases. If actual results differ from the Company's estimates, or to the extent these estimates are adjusted in future periods, the Company's results of operations could either benefit from, or be adversely affected by, any such change in estimate.

New accounting pronouncements

(c)       New accounting pronouncements

Adopted during the period

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets (Other than Goodwill) Impairment Testing

In July 2012 the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on the testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, performing the impairment test is unnecessary. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as a likelihood of more than 50 percent. An entity also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to performing the impairment test and may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The guidance has been adopted prospectively from January 1, 2013. The adoption of the guidance did not impact the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Disclosure about offsetting assets and liabilities

In December 2011 the FASB issued guidance on disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. In January 2013 the FASB amended the previous guidance to clarify the scope of guidance issued in December 2011. The amended guidance requires entities to disclose both gross and net information about derivatives including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with FASB guidance on topics “Balance Sheet” and “Derivatives and Hedging” or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement; to enable users of financial statements tounderstand the effects or potential effects of those arrangements on its financial position. The guidance has been adopted prospectively from January 1, 2013. The adoption of the guidance did not impact the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Enhanced disclosure of balance sheetoffsetting as required by this guidance is included in Note 15.

Amounts reclassified out of Comprehensive Income

In February 2013 the FASB issued guidance on reporting amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance requires entities to provide information about the amount reclassified out of comprehensive income by component and presents either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required under US GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under US GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under US GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The guidance has been adopted prospectively from January 1, 2013. The adoption of the guidance did not impact the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

To be adopted in future periods

Presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit

In July 2013 the FASB issued guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward exists. The guidance requires entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward, except as follows: to the extent a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not adopted this guidance in the period. The Company is assessing the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(b)       Letters of credit and guarantees

At September 30, 2013 the Company had irrevocable standby letters of credit and guarantees with various banks and insurance companiestotaling $54million, providing security for the Company's performance of various obligations. These obligations are primarily in respect of the recoverability of insurance claims, lease obligations and supply commitments.

(c)       Collaborative arrangements

Details of significant updates in collaborative arrangements are included below:

In-licensing arrangements

Collaboration with Acceleron Pharma Inc. (“Acceleron”) for activin receptor type IIB class of molecules

In April 2013, following the results of toxicology studies, Shire discontinued development of HGT4510, returned Shire's rights in the asset to Acceleron and discontinued the collaboration.

Out-licensing arrangements

Shire has entered into various collaborative arrangements under which the Company has out-licensed certain product or intellectual property rights for consideration such as up-front payments, development milestones, sales milestones and/or royalty payments. In some of these arrangements Shire and the licensee are both actively involved in the development and commercialization of the licensed product and have exposure to risks and rewards dependent on its commercial success. Under the terms of these arrangements, the Company may receive development milestone payments up to an aggregate amount of $39.0 million and sales milestones up to an aggregate amount of $71.5 million. The receipt of these substantive milestones is uncertain and contingent on the achievement of certain development milestones or the achievement of a specified level of annual net sales by the licensee. In the nine months to September 30, 2013 Shire received up-front and milestone payments totaling $3.0 million (2012: $6.0 million). In the nine monthsto September 30, 2013 Shire recognized milestone income of $4.5million (2012: $6.7 million) in other revenues and $43.8million (2012: $57.6 million) in product sales for shipment of product to the relevant licensee.

(d)       Commitments

(i)       Clinical testing

At September 30, 2013 the Company had committed to pay approximately $ 332 million (December 31, 2012: $ 425 million) to contract vendors for administering and executing clinical trials. The timing of these payments is dependent upon actual services performed by the organizations as determined by patient enrollment levels and related activities.

(ii)       Contract manufacturing

At September 30, 2013 the Company had committed to pay approximately $ 84 million (December 31, 2012: $ 125 million) in respect of contract manufacturing. The Company expects to pay $ 46 million of these commitments in 2013.

(iii)       Other purchasing commitments

At September 30, 2013 the Company had committed to pay approximately $ 101 million (December 31, 2012: $ 145 million) for future purchases of goods and services, predominantly relating to active pharmaceutical ingredients sourcing. The Company expects to pay $ 89 million of these commitments in 2013.

(iv)       Investment commitments

At September 30, 2013 the Company had outstanding commitments to subscribe for interests in companies and partnerships for amounts totaling $ 15 million (December 31, 2012: $ 15 million) which may all be payable in 2013, depending on the timing of capital calls.

(v)       Capital commitments

At September 30, 2013 the Company had committed to spend $ 109 million (December 31, 2012: $ 97 million) on capital projects.

(e)Legaland other proceedings

The Company expenses legal costs as they are incurred.

The Company recognizes loss contingency provisions for probable losses when management is able to reasonably estimate the loss. When the estimated loss lies within a range, the Company records a loss contingency provision based on its best estimate of the probable loss. If no particular amount within that range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount is recorded.  Estimates of losses may be developed substantially before the ultimate loss is known, and are therefore refined each accounting period as additional information becomes known. In instances where the Company is unable to develop a reasonable estimate of loss, no loss contingency provision is recorded at that time. As information becomes known a loss contingency provision is recorded when a reasonable estimate can be made. The estimates are reviewed quarterly and the estimates are changed when expectations are revised. An outcome that deviates from the Company's estimate may result in an additional expense or release in a future accounting period. At September 30, 2013 provisions for litigation losses, insurance claims and other disputes totaled $86.2 million (December 31, 2012: $130.5 million).

The Company's principal pending legal and other proceedings are disclosed below. The outcomes of these proceedings are not always predictable and can be affected by various factors. For those legal and other proceedings for which it is considered at least reasonably possible that a loss has been incurred, the Company discloses the possible loss or range of possible loss in excess of the recorded loss contingency provision, if any, where such excess is both material and estimable.

VYVANSE

In May and June 2011, Shire was notified that six separate Abbreviated New Drug Applications ("ANDAs") were submitted under the Hatch-Waxman Act seeking permission to market generic versions of all approved strengths of VYVANSE. The notices were from Sandoz, Inc. ("Sandoz"); Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC ("Amneal"); Watson Laboratories, Inc.; Roxane Laboratories, Inc. ("Roxane"); Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; and Actavis Elizabeth LLC and Actavis Inc. (collectively, "Actavis"). Within the requisite 45 day period, Shire filed lawsuits for infringement of certain of Shire's VYVANSE patents in the US District Court for the District of New Jersey against each of Sandoz, Roxane, Amneal and Actavis; in the US District Court for the Central District of California against Watson Laboratories, Inc.;and in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York against Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Mylan Inc. (collectively "Mylan"). In February 2013, Shire withdrew its lawsuit against Watson following Watson's withdrawal of its ANDA.On December 9, 2011, the District Court of New Jersey consolidated the Sandoz, Roxane, Amneal and Actavis cases. The filing of the lawsuits triggered a stay of approval of all six ANDAs for up to 30 months from the expiration of the new chemical entity exclusivity, which will expire on August 23, 2014. In December 2011 and February 2012, Shire received additional notifications that Mylan had filed further certifications challenging other VYVANSE patents listed in the Orange Book. Within the requisite 45 day period, Shire filed a new lawsuit against Mylan, Johnson Matthey Pharmaceutical Materials and Johnson Matthey Inc. in New Jersey. In May 2012, the Mylan case that was filed in the Eastern District of New York was transferred and consolidated with the Mylan, Sandoz, Roxane, Amneal and Actavis cases in New Jersey. In December 2012, the parties completed a Markman briefing. A Markman hearing took place on August 5, 2013 and a ruling was rendered on August 8, 2013. No trial dates have been set.

INTUNIV

Between March 2010 and March 2011, Shire was notified that seven separate ANDAs had been submitted to the FDA under the Hatch-Waxman Act seeking permission to market generic versions of all approved strengths of INTUNIV. The ANDA filers were Actavis Inc., Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., Anchen, Inc., Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Impax Laboratories, Inc., Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Sandoz, Inc., and certain of their respective affiliates.  Shire filed lawsuits against each of these ANDA filers.  All of the lawsuits have now been settled.  Under the terms of the Actavis settlement, Actavis has a license to make and market Actavis' generic versions of INTUNIV in the United States on December 1, 2014.  Such sales will require the payment of a royalty of 25% of gross profits to Shire during the 180 day period of Actavis' exclusivity. All other parties with whom Shire has settled will be able to enter the market with their respective ANDA-approved products after Actavis' 180 day exclusivity period has expired.  Each of the settlements included a consent judgment confirming that the proposed ANDA products infringe the patents-in-suit, U.S. Patents 6,287,599 and 6,811,794, and that those patents are valid and enforceable with respect to their respective proposed ANDA products.   U.S. Patent 5,854,290, which was originally asserted in some of the litigations, has been dedicated to the public.

FOSRENOL

Between February 2009 and December 2010 Shire was notified that four separate ANDAs had been submitted to the FDA under the Hatch-Waxman Act seeking permission to market generic versions of all approved strengths of FOSRENOL. The ANDA filers were Barr Laboratories, Inc.; Mylan, Inc.; Natco Pharma Limited and Alkem Laboratories Ltd., and certain of their respective affiliates. Shire filed lawsuits against each of these ANDA filers.  In April 2011, Shire and Barr reached a settlement and the lawsuit against Barr was dismissed.  The settlement provides Barr with a license to market its own generic version of FOSRENOL upon receiving FDA approval in the US on the earlier of the date of entry ofanother company's generic version of FOSRENOL to the US market, or October 1, 2021.  Shire's lawsuits against Mylan, Alkem and Natco have each been dismissed, and consequently, each of Mylan, Alkem and Natco may enter the US market upon FDA approval of their respective ANDA products.

LIALDA

In May 2010 Shire was notified that Zydus Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (“Zydus”) had submitted an ANDA under the Hatch-Waxman Act seeking permission to market a generic version of LIALDA. Within the requisite 45 day period, Shire filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the District of Delaware against Zydus and Cadila Healthcare Limited, doing business as Zydus Cadila. As of February 22, 2013, the case has been administratively closed. No further activity will take place until after one of the parties files a motion to reopen the case.

In February 2012, Shire was notified that Osmotica Pharmaceutical Corporation ("Osmotica") had submitted an ANDA under the Hatch-Waxman Act seeking permission to market a generic version of LIALDA.  Within the requisite 45 day period, Shire filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against Osmotica. The filing of the lawsuit triggered a stay of approval of the ANDA for up to 30 months. The court has appointed a special master to assist with a Markman hearing and to preside over any discovery disputes. A Markman hearing took place on August 22, 2013 but no ruling has been rendered. No trial date has been set.

In March 2012, Shire was notified that Watson Laboratories Inc.-Florida had submitted an ANDA under the Hatch-Waxman Act seeking permission to market a generic version of LIALDA. Within the requisite 45 day period, Shire filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida against Watson Laboratories Inc.-Florida and Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The filing of the lawsuit triggered a stay of approval of the ANDA for up to 30 months. In August 2012, Shire filed an amended complaint adding Watson Pharma, Inc. and Watson Laboratories, Inc. as defendants. A Markman hearing was held on December 20, 2012 and a written Markman decision was given by the court on January 17, 2013. A trial took place in April, 2013 andon May 9, 2013 the trial court issued a decision finding that the proposed generic product infringes the patent-in-suit and that the patent is not invalid.  Watson has appealed the trial court's ruling to the Court of Appeals of the Federal Circuit and a hearing is scheduled for December 2, 2013.

In April 2012, Shire was notified that Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Mylan”) had submitted an ANDA under the Hatch-Waxman Act seeking permission to market a generic version of LIALDA. Within the requisite 45 day period, Shire filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the Middle District of Florida against Mylan. The filing of the lawsuit triggered a stay of approval of the ANDA for up to 30 months. No date for a Markman hearing has been set. A trial is scheduled to occur in September, 2014.

ADDERALL XR

On November 1, 2010 Impax Laboratories, Inc. (“Impax”) filed suit against Shire in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York claiming that Shire was in breach of its supply contract for the authorized generic version of ADDERALL XR. On February 7, 2013 Shire and Impax settled this dispute and agreed to discontinue all court and related proceedings. Under the terms of the settlement Shire made a one-time cash payment to Impax of $48 million in the first quarter of 2013. Also as part of the settlement, the parties have entered into an amended supply agreement which will govern the supply of authorized generic ADDERALL XR from Shire to Impax until the end of the supply term on September 30, 2014.

In February 2011, Shire was notified that Watson Laboratories, Inc.-Florida had submitted an ANDA under the Hatch-Waxman Act seeking permission to market a generic version of all approved strengths of ADDERALL XR. Shire filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and certain of its affiliates for infringement of certain of Shire's ADDERALL XR patents. Par Pharmaceutical, Inc. (the successor in interest to Watson's ANDA for ADDERALL XR) has withdrawn its ANDA, and the litigation was dismissed on January 23, 2013 by agreement between Shire, Watson and Par Pharmaceutical, Inc..

In February 2013, Shire was notified that Neos Therapeutics, Inc. had submitted a New Drug Application under section 505(b)(2) of the Hatch Waxman Act (“505(b)(2) Application”). The 505(b)(2) Application was submitted with a paragraph IV certification for U.S. Reissued Patent Nos. RE41,148 and 42,096listed in the Orange Book.  Within the requisite 45 day period, Shire filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of Texas against Neos Therapeutics, Inc. for infringement of those patents. The filing of the lawsuit triggered a stay of final approval of the 505(b)(2) Application for 30 months.  No trial date has been set.

Subpoena related to ADDERALL XR, DAYTRANA and VYVANSE

On September 23, 2009 the Company received a civil subpoena from the US Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General in coordination with the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania seeking production of documents related to the sales and marketing of ADDERALL XR, DAYTRANA and VYVANSE. The investigation covered whether Shire engaged in off-label promotion and other conduct that may implicate the civil False Claims Act.

On February 1, 2013 the Company announced it had reached an agreement in principle to resolve this matter.  The agreement also addresses sales and marketing practices relating to LIALDA and PENTASA pursuant to a subsequent voluntary disclosure made by the Company. Shire cooperated with the US Government throughout the process that led to this agreement in principle.

The Company has recorded a $57.5 million charge comprised of the agreement in principle amount, interest and costs, which has been charged to SG&A in the fourth quarter of 2012.  The agreement in principle is subject to change until this matter is finally resolved.  Discussions between the Company and the US Government are ongoing to establish a final resolution to the investigation.

Louisiana Complaint related to ADDERALL, ADDERALL XR, DAYTRANA, VYVANSE and INTUNIV

On July 22 and July 23, 2013, the State of Louisiana served Shire LLC and Shire US Inc., respectively, with a civil complaint filed in the 19th Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge. The complaint alleges that Shire's sales, marketing, and promotion of ADDERALL, ADDERALL XR, DAYTRANA, VYVANSE and INTUNIV violated state law. The State is seeking monetary relief for its claims of fraud, redhibition, and unjust enrichment, as well as violations of Louisiana's Medical Assistance Programs Integrity Law, Unfair Trade Practices Act, and anti-trust laws. Shire intends vigorously to defend these claims. Shire is not in a position at this time to predict the timing, result or outcome of these claims.

Investigation related to DERMAGRAFT

Shire understands that the Department of Justice, including the US Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division and the US Attorney's Office for Washington, DC, is conducting civil and criminal investigations into the sales and marketing practices of Advanced BioHealing Inc. (“ABH”) relating to DERMAGRAFT. Shire is cooperating fully with these investigations. Shire is not in a position at this time to predict the scope, duration or outcome of these investigations.

Civil Investigative Demand for ADDERALL XR, ADDERALL XR Authorized Generics and VYVANSE

On April 5, 2012 Shire received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the United States Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) requesting that Shire provide it with certain information regarding the supply and reported shortages of ADDERALL XR and its authorized generics and the marketing and sale of ADDERALL XR, its authorized generics and VYVANSE. Shire believes the CID was triggered by reports of product shortages of ADDERALL XR and the authorized generic products in 2011. Shire responded to the CID in 2012. On August 29, 2013, the FTC informed Shire that it was closing the investigation without taking any further action.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration totaled $368 million, comprising cash consideration paid on closing of $151 million and the fair value of contingent consideration payable of $217 million. The maximum amount of contingent cash consideration which may be payable by Shire in future periods is $525 million dependent upon achievement of certain clinical, regulatory and net sales milestones.

This acquisition brings the new Phase 3 compound, Lifitegrast, currently under development for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease, into Shire's portfolio. Shire anticipates launching Lifitegrast in the United States as early as 2016 pending a positive outcome of the Phase 3 clinical development program and regulatory approvals.

On May 9, 2007 Shire issued $1,100 million in principal amount of 2.75% convertible bonds due in 2014 and convertible into fully paid ordinary shares of Shire plc (the “Bonds”). The Bonds were issued at 100% of their principal amount, and unless previously purchased and cancelled, redeemed or converted, will be redeemed on May 9, 2014 (the “Final Maturity Date”) at their principal amount.

The Bonds may be redeemed at the option of the Company, at their principal amount together with accrued and unpaid interest if: (i) at any time after May 23, 2012 if on no less than 20 dealing days in any period of 30 consecutive dealing days the value of Shire's ordinary shares underlying each Bond in the principal amount of $100,000 would exceed $130,000; or (ii) at any time conversion rights have been exercised, and/or purchases and corresponding cancellations, and/or redemptions effected in respect of 85% or more in principal amount of Bonds originally issued

The Bonds are repayable in US dollars, but also contain provisions entitling the Company to settle redemption amounts in Pounds sterling or in the case of Final Maturity Date by delivery of the underlying ordinary shares and, if necessary, a cash top-up amount. As the Bonds will be redeemed within twelve months of the balance sheet date, the Bonds have been presented as a current liability at September 30, 2013.
