As more fully described in the Company's current report on Form 8-K filed March 3, 2008, the board of directors of the Company has concluded that, as a result of errors in the Companys accounting relating to its non-U.S. operations, financial statements for certain prior periods will need to be restated, the annual and interim financial statements, earnings press releases and similar communications previously issued by the Company should no longer be relied upon, and the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 was ineffective as a result of the existence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
Until the Companys preparation of the restated financial statements is complete and such financial statements are audited or reviewed, as applicable, the Company will be unable to complete and file its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company intends to file its 2007 annual report on Form 10-K on or before the fifteenth calendar day following its original due date.

On
February 28, 2008, the Company reported earnings for the quarter and year ended 2007. The loss from continuing
operations for the fourth quarter was reported as $6.9 million, or a loss of $0.08 per diluted share, as compared
to a loss from continuing operations of $14.9 million, or a loss of $0.16 per diluted share for the fourth
quarter of 2006. It is anticipated that the loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter 2007, as adjusted for the restatement will be reported as approximately $5.3 million, or a loss of $0.06 per diluted share
and the loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter 2006, as adjusted for the restatement will be reported
as approximately $15.5 million, or a loss of $0.16 per diluted share. Income from continuing operations for 2007 was
reported as $25.1 million, or $0.27 per diluted share as compared to a loss from continuing operations of $55.8 million,
or a loss of $0.60 per diluted share for 2006. It is anticipated that the income from continuing operations, for 2007, as adjusted for the restatement, will be
reported as $28.3 million or $0.30 per diluted share and the loss from continuing operations for 2006 will be reported
as $57.4 million, or $0.61 per diluted share. Due to the pending preparation of the restated financial statements and
audit work, the foregoing estimates are preliminary and may change and such changes could be significant with respect to such periods.
As discussed in Part III above, as of the date of this filing, due to the delays in the filing of the 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company is still reviewing and finalizing its operating results for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the restated financial information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. However, the Company expects that its operating results for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006 (as restated) will generally compare as follows: |
| Total consolidated revenue for 2007 is expected to be approximately $875 million, compared to approximately $863 million for 2006, reflecting increased alliance revenue (which included a licensing payment of $19 million from Schering-Plough, which offset decreased royalties from ribavirin royalties) and increased specialty pharmaceutical product sales. Specialty pharmaceutical product sales in 2007 included a favorable impact from foreign exchange rate fluctuations, partly offset by a reduction in volume. Significant factors that contributed to this volume reduction included sales declines in Mexico, partly offset by sales increases in Central Europe, Canada, and the United Kingdom; | ||
| Total operating expenses for 2007 are expected to be approximately $796 million, compared to approximately $856 million for 2006, reflecting reduced restructuring charges and asset impairments, which offset increases in selling expenses and gain on litigation settlements in 2006; | ||
| Income from continuing operations for 2007 is expected to be approximately $28 million compared to a loss of approximately $57 million from continuing operations for 2006, primarily attributable to reduced operating expenses; and | ||
| Loss from discontinued operations for 2007 is expected to be approximately $32 million, compared to a loss of approximately $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, primarily related to our Infergen operations. |
