APPENDIX 2 REPORT CONCERNING DELEGATIONS MADE TO THE BOARD 25
The auditor reports, the annual financial statements, as well as all documents relating
thereto have been made available to you at the Company's registered office according to legal and regulatory requirements.

is a specialty pharmaceutical company with a long history of expertise in drug delivery, focusing on the development of safer
and more efficacious formulations, tackling unmet medical needs in the process. The acquisition of clat Pharmaceuticals,
LLC, or clat, in March 13, 2012 has created a more vertically integrated company, benefiting from greater development
and commercial expertise, best in class drug delivery platforms and more near-term and mid-term potential value creating catalysts.
which has focused on pursuing FDA approvals through the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway, adds marketing and licensing knowledge of
the commercial and regulatory process in the U.S and EU., which we believe will enhance the ability of the Company to identify
potential product candidates for development, leverage new opportunities for the application of our drug delivery platforms, and
to license and market products in the U.S and EU. By adopting this revised strategy, the Company makes itself less dependent in
the future on the often, changing strategies of its partners. Nevertheless, Flamel is still exploring development, supply and
licensing opportunities for its drug delivery platforms with carefully selected third parties, but will not rely completely on
those partnerships to create revenue and profit opportunities.
Since our acquisition
of clat, we have implemented an altered business model. The Company is now focusing not only on the development and licensing
of versatile, proprietary drug delivery platforms (Micropump oral sustained release platform and its derivatives
LiquiTime and Trigger Lock and, the long acting injectable platform, Medusa )
but also on the development of novel, high-value products based on those delivery platforms, most of which are self-funded, and,
the development, approval, and commercialization of niche branded and generic pharmaceutical products in the U.S. acquired from

(Neostigmine Methylsulfate Injection) is the first product approved from the portfolio of clat products. Bloxiverz's
NDA was filed in August 2012 and approved by the FDA on May 2013. The launch of Bloxiverz (10mL multiple dose vial at 0.5
and 1.0 mg/mL strengths) commenced in July 2013. Bloxiverz is a drug used intravenously in the operating room for the reversal
of the effects of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents after surgery. Bloxiverz is the first and only FDA-approved
version of neostigmine methylsulfate, even though other versions of neostigmine have been on the market as unapproved, grandfathered
products under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938. Compared with the remaining unapproved marketed products, Bloxiverz
has proven and approved safety, efficacy and quality. Today, neostigmine is the most common agent used for the reversal of the
effects of other agents used for neuromuscular blocks. There are approximately 5 million vials sold annually in the U.S. The volume
of sales of Bloxiverz is dependent upon, as per FDA guidance the FDA removing all unapproved products from the market in
a timely manner (typically one year post approval) and the Company enjoying a period of defacto exclusivity through the 505(b)(2)
using our Micropump technology is Coreg CR , on which we commenced development with GSK in 2003. Coreg and Coreg
CR are the only beta blockers indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction
following myocardial infarction. Coreg CR was approved in 2006 and is marketed and sold in the U.S. The supply agreement with
GSK for the production of Coreg CR microparticles was renewed in 2011 and we remain the sole supplier of Coreg
CR microparticles for GSK. Under the agreement, we will receive guaranteed minimum payments to supply Coreg
CR microparticles over a minimum period of five years. From January 1, 2013, GSK may terminate the agreement at
their sole discretion by giving six months written notice. Revenues generated by Coreg CR remain a significant
portion of our revenue and revenues from GSK contributed to 66% of our revenues in 2013. In 2013, we recognized royalty revenue
of $6.8 million. Although the Hatch-Waxman exclusivity period for Coreg CR ended on April 20, 2010, opening potential generic
competition, to date, no generic formulation of Coreg CR has received tentative or final approval.

business is becoming less dependent on its ability to work with partners in collaborative relationships to develop products using
our drug delivery platforms. Indeed, we have now marketed product and products in late stage development that are not dependent
on these collaborative relationships. As part of the rationalization of the Company's products pipeline initiated in 2012,
we have continued our efforts to streamline and optimize existing partnerships, as follows:
the time being, most of our revenues come from partnerships. Therefore, as we have in the past, we are still exploring to enter
into new partnerships, in particular, with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies providing new formulation development opportunities
(especially, based on partners' proprietary or controlled therapeutic compounds) and access to complementary expertise (regulatory,
medical and commercial). Discussions on potential license and development agreements are typically a long process, but we remain
