1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.

In August 2004, the Company completed its previously announced sale of certain assets related to its Bioglan Pharmaceuticals business (Bioglan) as further described in Note 10. Accordingly, the operating results and balance sheet items of Bioglan have been reflected separately in the accompanying financial statements as a discontinued operation.

As a result of the Transaction, the Companys results of operations, financial position and cash flows prior to the date of the Transaction are presented as the Predecessor. The financial effects of the Transaction and the Companys results of operations, financial position and cash flows as the surviving corporation following the Transaction are presented as the Successor. To clarify and emphasize that the Successor Company has been presented on an entirely new basis of accounting, the Company has separated Predecessor and Successor operations with a vertical black line, where appropriate.

In May 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with CV Therapeutics, Inc. (CVTX) to commercialize Ranexa for angina in the United States and Canada. In July 2003, CVTX and the Company entered into a new agreement that superceded the prior agreement. Under the terms of the July 2003 agreement, all rights to RanexaTM reverted back to CVTX, and CVTX will owe no royalty payments to the Company. Under the July 2003 agreement, the Company received a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of CVTX common stock at $32.93 per share during the five-year term commencing July 9, 2003. CVTX also is obligated to purchase from the Company, within six months of the approval of RanexaTM, services of at least $10.0 million in aggregate value or to pay the Company a lump sum amount equal to 10% of any shortfall from $10.0 million in purchased services.

In December 1999, the Company obtained the distribution rights to market four pharmaceutical products in the Philippines from a large pharmaceutical customer in exchange for providing certain commercialization services amounting to approximately $5.1 million during the two-year period ended December 31, 2001. As of June 30, 2004, the Company has capitalized 251.8 million Philippine pesos (approximately $4.5 million) related to the cost of acquiring these commercial rights, and is amortizing these costs over five years. Under the terms of the agreement, the customer has the option to reacquire the rights to the four products from the Company after seven years for a price to be determined at the exercise date.
In June 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with Pilot Therapeutics, Inc. (PLTT) to commercialize a natural therapy for asthma, AIROZIN, in the United States and Canada. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will provide commercialization services for AIROZIN and a milestone-based $6.0 million line of credit which is convertible into PLTTs common stock, of which $4.0 million was funded by the Company as of December 31, 2003. Further, based on achieving certain milestones, the Company committed to funding 50% of sales and marketing activities for AIROZIN over five years with a $6.0 million limit per year. Following product launch, the agreement provides for the Company to receive royalties based on the net sales of AIROZIN. The royalty percentage will vary to allow the Company to achieve a minimum rate of return. The Form 10-QSB filed by PLTT on September 5, 2003 indicated that PLTT will need significant additional financing to continue operations beyond September 15, 2003 and PLTT has not made any additional filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission since that time. As such, the Company recorded an impairment of $4.0 million during 2003 on the loan receivable from PLTT and reduced its five-year contingent commitment for the sales force and marketing activities to zero at December 31, 2003. In 2004, PLTT ceased active operations and is pursuing a recapitalization strategy, which had not raised additional funding to the Companys knowledge as of June 30, 2004.
In December 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with Discovery Laboratories, Inc. (DSCO) to commercialize, in the United States, DSCOs humanized lung surfactant, Surfaxin®, which is currently in Phase III studies. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired 791,905 shares of DSCOs common stock and a warrant to purchase 357,143 shares of DSCOs common stock at $3.48 per share for a total of $3.0 million, and agreed to make available to DSCO a line of credit up to $10.0 million for pre-launch commercialization services as certain milestones are achieved by DSCO. As of June 30, 2004, the Company has made $5.7 million available under the line of credit, of which $4.8 million has been funded. In addition, the Company receives warrants to purchase approximately 38,000 shares of DSCO common stock at an exercise price of $3.03 per share for each million dollars made available by the Company under the line of credit as milestones are achieved. The Company has also agreed to pay the sales and marketing activities of this product up to $10.0 million per year for seven years. In return, the Company will receive commissions based on net sales of Surfaxin® for meconium aspiration syndrome, infant respiratory distress syndrome and all off-label uses for 10 years. The subscription agreements under which the Company acquired its shares of DSCO common stock included participation rights to acquire additional shares of DSCO. The Company exercised its participation rights in two such transactions with DSCO. During November 2002, the Company purchased an additional 266,246 shares of DSCO common stock along with a detachable warrant to purchase 119,811 shares of DSCO common stock for $517,000. Using the cashless exercise feature, the Company exercised the November 2002 warrant and received 83,357 shares of DSCO common stock. During July 2003, the Company purchased an additional 218,059 shares of DSCO common stock along with a detachable warrant to purchase 43,612 shares of DSCO

Quintiles Transnational Corp. and Subsidiaries
common stock for $1.2 million. In February 2004, the Company used the cashless feature to exercise the warrant to purchase 357,143 shares of common stock and received 249,726 shares of DSCO common stock. In April 2004, the Company used the cashless feature to purchase 213,334 shares of common stock and received 160,318 shares of DSCO common stock.
In January 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Kos Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (KOSP) to commercialize, in the United States, KOSPs treatments for cholesterol disorders, Advicor® and Niaspan®. Advicor® was launched in January 2002 and Niaspan® is also on the market. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company provided, at its own expense, a dedicated sales force of 150 cardiovascular-trained representatives who, in combination with KOSPs sales force of 300 representatives, commercialized Advicor® and Niaspan® for the first two years after launch (January 2002 to December 2003). In return, the Company received a warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of KOSPs common stock at $32.79 per share, exercisable in installments over two years. Further, the Company will receive commissions based on net sales of the product from 2002 through 2006. The commission payments are subject to minimum and maximum amounts, as amended June 30, 2003, of $50.0 million and $65.0 million, respectively, over the life of the agreement. Through June 30, 2004, the Company has received payments totaling approximately $15.4 million. The proceeds are reported in the statement of cash flows as an operating activity change in operating assets and liabilities.
During the second quarter of 2002, the Company finalized the arrangements under its previously announced letter of intent with a large pharmaceutical customer to market pharmaceutical products in Belgium, Germany and Italy. Either party may cancel the contract at six-month intervals in the event that sales are not above certain levels specified. In the first quarter of 2003 and the third quarter of 2003, the agreements in Germany and Belgium, respectively, were terminated. For the remaining portion of the contract in Italy, the Company will provide, at its own expense, sales and marketing resources over the five-year life of the agreement. As of June 30, 2004, the Company estimates the cost of its minimum obligation over the remaining contract life for the remaining territory of Italy to be approximately $13 million, in return for which the customer will pay the Company royalties on product sales in excess of certain baselines. The total royalty is comprised of a minimal royalty on the baseline sales targets for these products plus a share of incremental net sales above these baselines.

In July 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) to support LLY in its commercialization efforts for Cymbalta in the United States. LLY has submitted a New Drug Application, or NDA, for Cymbalta, which was approved in the third quarter of 2004 by the FDA for the treatment of depression. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will provide, at its expense, more than 500 sales representatives to supplement the extensive LLY sales force in the promotion of Cymbalta for the five years following product launch. The Companys sales force will promote Cymbalta in its primary, or P1, position within sales calls. During the first three years LLY will pay for the remainder of the capacity of this sales force, referred to as the P2 and P3 positions, on a fee-for-service basis. The Company will make marketing and milestone payments to LLY totaling $110.0 million of which $70.0 million was paid in 2002 and the remaining $40.0 million is due throughout the four quarters following FDA approval. The $110 million in payments will be capitalized and amortized in proportion to the estimated revenues as a reduction of revenue over the five-year service period. The sales force costs will be expensed as incurred. The payments are reported in the statement of cash flows as an investing activity advances to customer. In return for the P1 position for Cymbalta and the marketing and milestone payments, LLY will pay to the Company 8.25% of U.S. Cymbalta sales for depression and other neuroscience indications over the five-year service period followed by a 3% royalty over the subsequent three years. In addition to the Companys obligations, LLY is obligated to spend at specified levels.
In July 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Columbia Laboratories, Inc. (CBRX) to commercialize, in the United States, the following womens health products: Prochieve 8%, Prochieve 4%, Advantage-S® and RepHresh. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company purchased 1,121,610 shares of CBRX common stock for $5.5 million. The Company also paid to CBRX four quarterly payments of $1.125 million totaling $4.5 million. The payments are reported in the statement of cash flows as an investing activity acquisition of commercial rights and royalties. In return, the Company will receive royalties of 5% on the sales of the four CBRX womens healthcare products in the United States for a five-year period beginning in the first quarter of 2003. The royalties are subject to minimum and maximum amounts of $8.0 million and $12.0 million, respectively, over the life of the agreement. Through June 30, 2004, the Company has received payments totaling approximately $503,000. The proceeds are reported in the statement of cash flows as an operating activity change in operating assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company will provide to CBRX, at CBRXs expense on a fee-for-service basis, a sales force to commercialize the products. In January 2004, the Company and CBRX agreed to restructure the fee-for-service agreement to allow for an accelerated transfer of the sales force management responsibility to CBRX. The purchase of the CBRX common stock included participation rights to acquire additional shares of CBRX. During July 2003, the Company exercised its participation rights and purchased an additional 56,749 shares of CBRX for $664,000.

In December 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with a large pharmaceutical customer to market two products in Belgium. Under the terms of an asset purchase agreement, the Company will have the rights to one product in Belgium in exchange for payments of 5.5 million euros (approximately $6.7 million). The customer will continue to manufacture the product through 2005. Under the terms of a distribution agreement, the Company will have the rights to market the other product in Belgium for a period of six years in exchange for payments of 6.9 million euros (approximately $8.4 million) of which 2.2 million euros (approximately $2.7 million) are in the form of services to be completed by December 31, 2008, based on the Companys standard pricing. The Company has paid 7.5 million euros (approximately $9.1 million) as of June 30, 2004. The payments are reported in the statement of cash flows as an investing activity acquisition of intangible assets. The Company has also provided all of the services to the customer under the 2.2 million euros service component. The Companys service obligation is recorded as a cost of the distribution rights and is being amortized over the six-year distribution agreement. The customer will continue to manufacture the product for the six years of the distribution agreement.
In March 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with CBRX to commercialize CBRXs StriantTM testosterone buccal bioadhesive product in the United States. StriantTM was approved in June 2003 by the FDA for the treatment of hypogonadism. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has paid five quarterly payments of $3.0 million each totaling $15.0 million. The payments are reported in the statement of cash flows as an investing activity acquisition of commercial rights and royalties. In return, the Company will receive a 9% royalty on the net sales of StriantTM in the United States up to agreed levels of annual sales revenues, and a 4.5% royalty of net sales above those levels. The royalty term is seven years. Royalty payments are subject to minimum and maximum amounts of $30.0 million and $55.0 million, respectively, over the life of the agreement. Through June 30, 2004, the Company has received payments totaling approximately $306,000. The proceeds are reported in the statement of cash flows as an operating activity change in operating assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company will provide to CBRX, at CBRXs expense on a fee-for-service basis, a sales force to commercialize the products for a two-and-a-half year term. In January 2004, the Company and CBRX agreed to restructure the fee-for-service agreement to allow for an accelerated transfer of the sales force management responsibility to CBRX.
In February 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with a large pharmaceutical customer to provide services in connection with the customers development and U.S. launch of a Phase III product, or the new product, which is related to one of the customers currently marketed pharmaceutical products, or the existing product. The existing product has historically achieved multi-hundred million dollars in sales annually. Under the agreement, the Company will provide, at its expense, up to $90.0 million of development and commercialization services for the new and existing products. The customer has agreed that at least $67.5 million of those services will be performed by the Companys affiliates, at agreed upon rates. The customer, though, may direct the Company to use third parties to perform up to $22.5 million of the $90.0 million of services. The agreement contains quarterly limits on the Companys service obligations with a maximum of $10.0 million of services in any quarter. Without revising the overall limits of the agreement, the agreement was amended to allow increased spending for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2004. The revised quarterly limits are $11 million for the second quarter of 2004 and $13 million for each of the third and fourth quarters of 2004. The Companys service obligations are anticipated to occur through the end of 2006, but may run longer depending on the customers actual use of services and when, and if, FDA approval of the new product occurs. Until the FDA approves the new

product, the Company is obligated to provide no more than $57.5 million in services. In return for performing the obligations, the Company will receive (1) beginning in the first quarter of 2005, a low, single-digit royalty on U.S. net sales of the existing product and (2) beginning on the U.S. launch of the new product, a declining tiered royalty (beginning in the low teens) on U.S. net sales of the new product. The Companys royalty period under the agreement lasts for approximately nine years; however, the agreement limits the amount of royalties the Company receives each year and also caps the aggregate amount of royalties the Company can receive under the agreement at $180.0 million. The Company will also receive a $20.0 million payment from the customer upon the U.S. launch of the new product. If the new product is not approved by the FDA or a significant delay occurs in its approval process, the Company may terminate its remaining service obligations and continue to receive the royalty on the existing product subject to a return ceiling of no less than 8%. The agreement also provides for royalty term extensions, in the event of certain other specified unfavorable circumstances such as product shortages or recalls. The customer may terminate the agreement at any time subject to the customers payment to the Company of the then-present value of its remaining expected royalties. The Company has provided and expensed $7.5 million of services under this agreement through June 30, 2004.
The Company has firm commitments under the arrangements described above to provide funding of approximately $281.0 million in exchange for various commercial rights. As of June 30, 2004, the Company has funded approximately $218.0 million. Further, the Company has additional future funding commitments that are contingent upon satisfaction of certain milestones by the third party such as receiving FDA approval, obtaining funding from additional third parties, agreeing to a marketing plan and other similar milestones. Due to the uncertainty of the amounts and timing, these contingent commitments are not included in the firm commitment amounts. If all of these contingencies were satisfied over approximately the same time period, the Company estimates these commitments to be a minimum of approximately $95-120 million per year for a period of five to six years, subject to certain limitations and varying time periods.
