Review of the financial year

General:

Biotie is a drug development company focusing on dependence
disorders, inflammatory diseases and thrombosis.


Drug development projects:

Nalmefene program

In May 2007 the licensing agreement with H. Lundbeck A/S entered into
force on worldwide rights for nalmefene, excluding North America,
Mexico, UK, Ireland, Turkey, and South-Korea.

In June 2007 Biotie withdrew the UK national marketing authorisation
application on nalmefene in its alcoholism indication to enable a
centralised EU-wide registration procedure in due course.

To maximise nalmefene's potential in the treatment of alcoholism
Biotie and Lundbeck have jointly decided to seek marketing
authorisation simultaneously in all 27 EU member states via the
centralized procedure. To this end, Lundbeck plans to further
strengthen the existing nalmefene registration dossier in its
alcoholism indication with additional phase III clinical studies
before submitting the marketing authorisation application. The
studies are expected to start in 2008.

Subsequent to the Biotie clinical program for nalmefene in alcoholism
being completed, there is currently a regulatory requirement for an
electrocardiogram (ECG) study in healthy volunteers. In October 2007
Biotie started a clinical trial with nalmefene evaluating the
potential cardiac effects on healthy volunteers measured using an
electrocardiogram. The study is expected to enroll 240 healthy
volunteers and to be completed in 2008 and included in the eventual
registration dossier.

After the reporting period in January 2008 Lundbeck acquired the
United Kingdom and Ireland rights for nalmefene from Britannia
Pharmaceuticals (now part of STADA Group, headquartered in Germany).
Following the new agreement Lundbeck has worldwide rights for
nalmefene, excluding North America, Mexico, Turkey, and South-Korea.

After the reporting period in January 2008 Biotie-Lundbeck license
agreement terms were amended due to Lundbeck acquiring the United
Kingdom and Ireland rights. Under the terms of the amended agreement,
Biotie is now eligible for up to EUR 82 million in upfront and
milestone payments (previously up to EUR 80 million) plus royalty on
sales. Of the EUR 82 million, Biotie has already received from
Lundbeck an execution fee of EUR 12 million, of which EUR 10 million
was paid on signing in November 2006 and EUR 2 million was paid on
the license entering into force in May 2007. Biotie will participate
in financing some of the clinical development costs.


VAP-1 antibody program

In September 2007 Biotie started the first phase I clinical trial
with its fully human VAP-1 monoclonal antibody.

This first-in-man study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and
pharmacokinetics of intravenously administered antibody in healthy
volunteers. Results are expected during the second quarter of 2008.

In November 2006, Biotie and Roche signed an option agreement for
Biotie's fully human antibody program targeting Vascular Adhesion
Protein-1 (VAP-1) in inflammatory diseases.

Under the terms of the agreement, Roche will pay an option initiation
fee of EUR 5 million, which grants Roche an exclusive option right to
an exclusive, worldwide license agreement for Biotie's fully human
antibody targeting VAP-1, excluding Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, New
Zealand, and Australia. The option initiation fee will be paid in two
instalments. Biotie received the first instalment of EUR 3 million in
2006 and Roche paid the second instalment of EUR 2 million in
November 2007 triggered by the study start. The initial option right
will end upon completion of Phase I. Roche may extend the option
right to later development points by paying additional fees. Biotie
will retain all rights to the program until a license is granted to
Roche.

Inhibiting VAP-1 reduces inflammation by regulating the migration of
leukocytes, or white blood cells, to inflamed tissues. Pathological
accumulation of white blood cells in tissue is a common feature in
many autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative
colitis, and psoriasis.

Co-operation with Seikagaku Corporation proceeded as planned.

Pre-clinical programs

Pre-clinical programs (VAP-1 SSAO small molecule inhibitor program
and alfa2beta1 integrin inhibitor program) progressed as planned. In
the bioheparin program the company continued to look for a partner to
finance the future development of the program. To date, partnering
efforts have not been successful.


Revenues

Revenue for the financial year 2007 was 7.9 million euros. Revenue
consisted of periodization of the signing fees of the licensing
agreements signed with Seikagaku Corporation in 2003 and with Somaxon
Pharmaceuticals in 2004, periodization of the option fee of the
option agreement signed with Roche in 2006 as well as periodization

Of the Lundbeck execution fee of EUR 12 million, EUR 10 million was
paid on signing in November 2006 and EUR 2 million was paid on the
license entering into force in May 2007. EUR 4 million was booked as
revenue in the second quarter of 2007, and the remaining EUR 8
million will be recognized as revenue against clinical development
costs in 2007-2009. Total revenue recognized based on the Lundbeck
agreement in 2007 was EUR 5.4 million.

Revenue for the financial year 2006 consisted of periodization of the
signing fee of the licensing agreement signed with Seikagaku
Corporation in 2003 and periodization of the signing fee of the
licensing agreement in nalmefene project signed with Somaxon
Pharmaceuticals in 2004 and periodization of the option fee of the
option agreement signed with Roche in 2006. The revenue was in total

Risks and Risk Management

Biotie's strategic risks are related to the technical success of the
drug development programs, regulatory issues, the strategic decisions
of its commercial partners, ability to obtain and maintain
intellectual property rights for its products, validity of its
patents, launch of competitive products and the development of the
sales of its products. For example, even though the commercialisation
and collaboration agreements on the company's product development
projects have been concluded, there can be no assurance that the
contracting partner will act in accordance with the agreement, the
authorities will approve the product under development or the
approved product will be commercialised. The development and success
of the company's products depends on third parties.

The operational risks include dependency of key personnel, assets and
dependency on partners' decisions.

Events after the Financial Period

In January, 2008 Lundbeck acquired the United Kingdom and Ireland
rights for nalmefene from Britannia Pharmaceuticals (now part of
STADA Group, headquartered in Germany). Following the new agreement
Lundbeck has worldwide rights for nalmefene, excluding North America,
Mexico, Turkey, and South-Korea.

Biotie-Lundbeck license agreement terms were amended due to Lundbeck
acquiring the United Kingdom and Ireland rights. Under the terms of
the amended agreement, Biotie is now eligible for up to EUR 82
million in upfront and milestone payments (previously up to EUR 80
million) plus royalty on sales. Of the EUR 82 million, Biotie has
already received an execution fee of EUR 12 million from Lundbeck.

In January, 2008 Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation
(Tekes) granted EUR 1.7 million additional funding for Biotie
Therapies' integrin alpha2beta1 inhibitor program for thrombosis. The
R&D funding granted covers drug development costs of the project from
July 2007 to December 2009.

The funding granted is in the form of loan and it covers 50 per cent
of the costs of the project. The loan will be paid to Biotie against
reported realised costs. In order to receive the full amount of
granted financing, Biotie must show a total expenditure of EUR 3.4
million in the project.


Future outlook

- Results from the first phase I clinical trial with Biotie's VAP-1
fully human monoclonal antibody are expected during the second
quarter of 2008.

- Lundbeck is expected to start additional phase III studies with
nalmefene in its alcohol indication in 2008.

- Due to Biotie having two programs in the clinical development phase
the operating costs are expected to increase to a somewhat higher
level for 2008 than in 2007.

- Revenue in 2008 is estimated to be approximately EUR 5 to 6 million
and consists of periodization of already received payments based on
established revenue recognition principles. The company is not
expecting new milestone payments based on existing agreements in
2008.


The Board of Directors proposal for handling of the loss

The Board of Directors proposes that no dividend from the financial
year 2007 will be paid, and that the loss of the parent company for
the financial year EUR -1.6 (FAS) million will be  transferred to
shareholders' equity.


Annual General Meeting

Biotie Therapies's Annual General Meeting will be held at Mauno
Koivisto Center in Turku on Friday, March 28, 2008

Annual Report 2007 will be published by March 14, 2008.
