NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by Indevus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Indevus” or the “Company”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.

Indevus is a specialty pharmaceutical company engaged in the acquisition, development and commercialization of products to treat conditions in urology and endocrinology. The Company’s approved products include SANCTURA® and SANCTURA XR™ for overactive bladder (“OAB”), co-promoted with its partner Allergan, Inc. (“Allergan”), VANTAS® for advanced prostate cancer, SUPPRELIN® LA for central precocious puberty (“CPP”), and DELATESTRYL® for the treatment of hypogonadism. The Company markets its products through an approximately 100-person specialty sales force.

The Company’s core urology and endocrinology portfolio contains multiple compounds in development in addition to its approved products. The Company’s most advanced compounds are VALSTARTM for bladder cancer, NEBIDO® for male hypogonadism, PRO 2000 for the prevention of infection by HIV and other sexually-transmitted diseases, the octreotide implant for acromegaly and a biodegradable ureteral stent for the adjunctive treatment of kidney stones.

In addition to the Company’s core urology and endocrinology portfolio, there are multiple compounds outside of its core focus area which the Company either currently outlicenses for development and commercialization, or intends to outlicense in the future. These compounds include pagoclone for stuttering, ALKS 27 for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”) which the Company has been jointly developing with Alkermes, Inc. (“Alkermes”), aminocandin for systemic fungal infections for which the Company licensed worldwide rights to Novexel S.A. (“Novexel”) and IP 751 for pain and inflammation for which the Company licensed worldwide rights to Cervelo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Cervelo”).

On April 18, 2007, the Company acquired Valera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Valera”), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of urology and endocrinology products (the “Valera Acquisition”) (see Note C). The Valera Acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the results of operations of Valera have been included in the consolidated results of the Company from the acquisition date.

B. Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition: The Company classifies all revenue as product revenue or contract and license fee revenue. Any consideration received in advance of revenue recognition is recorded as deferred revenue. Product revenue consists primarily of revenues from sales of products, royalties and reimbursements for royalties owed by the Company. Product sales are generally recognized as revenue upon the later of shipment or title transfer to the Company’s customers. Sales of VANTAS and DELATESTRYL are recorded net of reserves for returns, rebates and allowances. For SUPPRELIN LA, where chargebacks, insurance reimbursement or refunds cannot be reasonably estimated, revenue is deferred until such amounts are known and recorded as product revenue net of reserves for rebates and allowances. Until October 16, 2007, the effective date of the Amended and Restated License, Commercialization and Supply Agreement with Esprit Pharmaceuticals Inc., which was simultaneously acquired by Allergan, Inc., (the “Allergan Agreement”), the Company recorded sales of SANCTURA to its marketing partner as product sales. Subsequent to the Allergan Agreement, the Company determined that the arrangement represented a single unit of accounting and began aggregating all of the proceeds from sales of SANCTURA and SANCTURA XR with all of the other consideration received from Allergan, recording it all as deferred revenue and recognizing it as contract and license fee revenue using the appropriate revenue recognition model.

Royalty revenue consists of payments received from licensees for a portion of the sales proceeds from products that utilize the Company’s licensed technologies. Royalties are generally reported to the Company in a royalty report on a specified periodic basis and recognized in the period in which the sales of the product or technology on which the royalties are based occurred. If the royalty report for such period is received subsequent to the time when the Company is required to report its results on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K and the amount of the royalties earned is not estimable, royalty revenue is not recognized until a subsequent accounting period when the royalty report is received and when the amount of and basis for such royalty payments are reported to the Company in accurate and appropriate form and in accordance with the related license agreement.

Table of Contents

Contract and license fee revenue consists of sales force subsidies, grants from agencies supporting research and development activities, and contractual initial and milestone payments received from partners, as well as amortization of deferred revenue from contractual payments. The Company’s business strategy includes entering into collaborative license, development, supply and co-promotion agreements with strategic partners for the development and commercialization of the Company’s products or product candidates. The terms of the agreements typically include non-refundable license fees, funding of research and development, payments resulting from the achievement of certain milestones and royalties on net product sales.

Many of the Company’s agreements contain multiple elements and require evaluation pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue Number 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“EITF 00-21”). Pursuant to EITF 00-21, in multiple element arrangements where the Company has continuing performance obligations, contract, milestone and license fees are recognized together with any up-front payments over the term of the arrangement as the Company completes its performance obligations, unless the delivered technology has stand alone value to the customer and there is objective, reliable evidence of fair value of the undelivered elements in the arrangement. In the case of an arrangement where it is determined that there is a single unit of accounting, all cash flows from the arrangement are aggregated and recognized as revenue over the term of the arrangement as the Company completes its performance obligations. The Company records such revenue as contract and license fee revenue.

Certain multiple element arrangements include provisions for the Company to participate on various committees, such as steering committees, development committees, and commercialization committees. The Company evaluates the facts and circumstances of the arrangement to determine if its participation is protective of the Company’s interests or if it constitutes a deliverable to be included in the Company’s evaluation of the arrangement under EITF 00-21. Additionally, pursuant to the guidance in Securities and Exchange Commission Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, unless evidence suggests otherwise, revenue from consideration received is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected period of the arrangements during which the Company has continuing performance obligations.

The Company has elected to use the proportional performance model to determine recognition of revenue related to multiple element arrangements determined to be single units of accounting where the Company has continuing performance obligations and can estimate the completion of its earnings process. Under the Allergan Agreement, because the Company cannot determine the total amount of expected revenue or the pattern by which it will complete its obligations, all consideration is recognized as contract and license fee revenue using the Contingency-Adjusted Performance Model (“CAPM”). Under this model, when a portion of the consideration under the arrangement is earned, revenue is immediately recognized on a pro-rata basis in the period the Company achieves the milestone based on the time elapsed from inception of the Allergan Agreement to the time the milestone is earned over the estimated performance period of the Allergan Agreement. Thereafter, the remaining portion of the consideration is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining estimated performance period of the Allergan Agreement. In other multiple element arrangements where the Company can estimate its expected revenue and measure its completion of the earnings process, the Company utilizes the proportional performance model.

In multiple element arrangements, where the Company has separate units of accounting, revenues from milestone payments related to arrangements under which the Company has no continuing performance obligations are recognized as revenue upon achievement of the milestone only if all of the following conditions are met: the milestone payments are non-refundable; achievement of the milestone was not reasonably assured at the inception of the arrangement; substantive effort is involved in achieving the milestone; and the amount of the milestone is reasonable in relation to the effort expended or the risk associated with achievement of the milestone. Determination as to whether a milestone meets the aforementioned conditions involves management’s judgment. If any of these conditions are not met, the milestone payments are deferred and recognized as revenue over the term of the arrangement as the Company completes its performance obligations.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities: The Company invests available cash primarily in short-term bank deposits, money market funds, repurchase agreements, domestic and foreign commercial paper and government securities. Cash and cash equivalents include investments with original maturities of three months or less at date of purchase. Marketable securities consist of investments purchased with maturities greater than three months and are classified as noncurrent if they mature one year or more beyond the balance sheet date and are not considered available to fund current operations. Investments are stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss until realized. The fair value of these securities is based on quoted market prices. At March 31, 2008 and September 30, 2007, the Company had no marketable securities.

Table of Contents

Inventory: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined under the first in, first out (“FIFO”) method. Included in inventory costs are materials, drug costs, direct labor and manufacturing overheads that include facility costs and indirect manufacturing costs. The Company expenses costs related to inventory until such time as it receives approval from the FDA to market a product, at which time the Company commences capitalization of costs relating to that product.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation: The Company has several stock-based employee compensation plans. On October 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS 123R, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123R”). Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company is required to make significant estimates related to SFAS 123R. The Company’s expected stock-price volatility assumption is based on both current implied volatility and historical volatilities of the underlying stock which are obtained from public data sources. For stock option grants issued to non-executives during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company used a weighted-average expected stock-price volatility of 49.5% and 60.6%, respectively. For stock option grants issued to non-executives during the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company used a weighted-average expected stock-price volatility of 49.1% and 60.7%, respectively. For stock option grants to executives during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company used a weighted average expected stock-price volatility of 52.9% and 64.0%, respectively. For stock option grants to executives during the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company used weighted average expected stock-price volatility ranges of 50.0% to 52.9% and 62.8% to 64.0%, respectively. A higher volatility input to the Black-Scholes model increases the resulting compensation expense. The Company also determined the weighted-average option life assumption based on the exercise patterns that different employee groups exhibited historically, adjusted for specific factors that may influence future exercise patterns. For stock option grants made during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company used a weighted-average expected option life assumption of 6.50 and 6.25 years, respectively, for non-executives and 8.0 years for executives. For stock option grants made during the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company used a weighted-average expected option life assumption of 6.47 years for non-executives and 8.0 years for executives. A shorter expected term would result in lower compensation expense.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

C. Valera Acquisition

On April 18, 2007, the Company completed the Valera Acquisition. The Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Valera in a tax-free stock-for-stock merger initially valued at approximately $128,544,000, plus contingent stock rights (“CSRs”) related to three of Valera’s product candidates in development at the time of the Valera Acquisition. At the date of the acquisition, approximately 17,693,000 shares of Indevus Common Stock were issued.

Valera common stockholders received three CSRs for each share of Valera Common Stock and the option holders who consented to the proposed treatment of such options received three unfunded and unsecured promises to receive shares of Indevus Common Stock (“CSR Equivalents”). The CSRs convert to $1.00, $1.00 and $1.50, respectively, worth of Indevus Common Stock upon the FDA approval to market SUPPRELIN LA, a biodegradable stent and an octreotide implant, respectively. The CSRs and CSR Equivalents related to SUPPRELIN LA became payable on May 3, 2007, upon announcement of the regulatory approval of SUPPRELIN LA, and 2,251,000 shares of Indevus Common Stock became issuable. The additional purchase price related to achievement of this milestone was $16,522,000 and was recorded as an increase to goodwill. The remaining CSRs and CSR Equivalents will become payable in shares of Indevus Common Stock only if the applicable milestones for the biodegradable ureteral stent and octreotide implant are achieved within five years of the closing of the merger. If both remaining CSR milestones are achieved, the Company will issue Common Stock totaling approximately $40,600,000 in value, which will have the effect of increasing goodwill by an equivalent amount.

The Valera Acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the results of operations of Valera have been included in the consolidated results of the Company from the acquisition date. The purchase price of the acquisition was allocated to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price exceeded the amounts allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed by $48,244,000, which was classified as goodwill.

G. Agreements

Allergan/Esprit

In September 2007, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated License, Commercialization and Supply Agreement with Esprit Pharma, Inc. (“Esprit”), which re-defined the obligations of each party and superseded all previous agreements pertaining to SANCTURA and SANCTURA XR (the “Allergan Agreement”). The Allergan Agreement became effective on October 16, 2007. Simultaneously, Allergan acquired Esprit resulting in Esprit becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allergan. Upon effectiveness of the Allergan Agreement, the Company received an up-front license fee, partially creditable by Allergan against future payments to the Company, of $25 million, and approximately $8 million as payment of the supply price for future deliveries of SANCTURA XR subject to purchase orders issued by Allergan. The Allergan Agreement also grants the Company the right to receive a fixed percentage of net sales for the term of the Allergan Agreement, subject to increasing annual minimum royalties totaling approximately $123 million over the first seven years of the Agreement, provided there is no product adverse event, as defined in the Agreement. In addition, the Company will receive approximately $9 million in annual sales force subsidy for fiscal year 2008 which can be extended for up to six months at the Company’s option. Third-party royalties paid by the Company as a result of existing licensing, manufacturing

and supply agreements associated with sales of SANCTURA and SANCTURA XR will also be reimbursed to the Company. The Company will also manufacture and supply SANCTURA XR through June 30, 2008, and SANCTURA through September 30, 2012, to Allergan at cost. The Company may also receive a long-term commercialization milestone payment of $20 million related to generic competition. The Allergan Agreement expires on the later of the twelfth annual anniversary of the launch of SANCTURA XR, which occurred in January 2008, or the last to expire patent covering SANCTURA XR in the United States. Either party may also terminate the Allergan Agreement under certain customary conditions of breach.

Commencing on the effective date of the Allergan Agreement, the Company began recognizing the deferred revenue balances that existed on the effective date and the upfront license payment of $25 million on a straight-line basis over the approximately 5 year obligation period of the agreement. All future payments received from Allergan during the 5 year obligation period of the agreement, including royalties, sales force reimbursement and product revenues, will be recognized using the contingency-adjusted performance model. All payments received after the 5 year obligation period of the agreement will be recognized as revenue when earned, provided that there are no remaining obligations.

Collectively through March 31, 2008 and pursuant to all agreements between the Company and PLIVA d.d. (“PLIVA”), Esprit and Allergan, the Company has received approximately $338 million in the form of up front and milestone payments, royalties, sales force reimbursements and payments for product shipped to the Company’s marketing partners at its cost to manufacture.

Plantex

The Company has a supply agreement with Plantex USA Inc. whereby Plantex will supply the Company with Valrubicin, the active pharmaceutical ingredient for VALSTAR. The Agreement will expire ten years after the date of the first commercial sale of VALSTAR provided VALSTAR is approved by June 30, 2008. Beginning in the calendar year following the year in which it receives regulatory approval for VALSTAR in the United States, the Company will have annual minimum purchase requirements of $1.0 million. This agreement may be terminated by either party under certain customary conditions of breach, by mutual agreement of the parties, or by Plantex if VALSTAR is not approved by June 30, 2008.

H. Withdrawal of Redux, Legal Proceedings, Insurance Claims, and Related Contingencies

In May 2001, the Company entered into the AHP Indemnity and Release Agreement pursuant to which Wyeth agreed to indemnify the Company against certain classes of product liability cases filed against the Company related to Redux (dexfenfluramine hydrochloride capsules) C-IV, a prescription anti-obesity compound withdrawn from the market in September 1997. This indemnification covers plaintiffs who initially opted out of Wyeth’s national class action settlement of diet drug claims and claimants alleging primary pulmonary hypertension. In addition, Wyeth has agreed to fund all future legal costs related to the Company’s defense of Redux-related product liability cases. Also, pursuant to the agreement, Wyeth has funded additional insurance coverage to supplement the Company’s existing product liability insurance. The Company believes this total insurance coverage is sufficient to address its potential remaining Redux product liability exposure. However, there can be no assurance that uninsured or insufficiently insured Redux-related claims or Redux-related claims for which the Company is not otherwise indemnified or covered under the AHP Indemnity and Release Agreement will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future business, results of operations or financial condition or that the potential of any such claims would not adversely affect the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient financing to fund operations. Up to the date of the AHP Indemnity and Release Agreement, the Company’s defense costs were paid by, or subject to reimbursement to the Company from, the Company’s product liability insurers. To date, there have been no Redux-related product liability settlements or judgments paid by the Company or its insurers. In exchange for the indemnification, defense costs, and insurance coverage provided to Indevus by Wyeth, the Company agreed to dismiss its suit against Wyeth filed in January 2000, its appeal from the order approving Wyeth’s national class action settlement of diet drug claims, and its cross-claims against Wyeth related to Redux product liability legal actions.

At March 31, 2008, the Company has an accrued liability of approximately $500,000 for Redux-related expenses, including legal expenses. The amount the Company ultimately pays could differ significantly from the amount currently accrued at March 31, 2008. To the extent the amount paid differs from the amount accrued, the Company will record a charge or credit to the statement of operations.

As of March 31, 2008, the Company had an outstanding insurance claim of approximately $3,300,000, consisting of payments made by the Company to the group of law firms defending the Company in the Redux-related product liability litigation, for services rendered by such law firms through May 30, 2001. The full amount of the Company’s current outstanding insurance claim is made pursuant to the Company’s product liability policy issued to the Company by Reliance Insurance Company (“Reliance”). During the three month period ended March 31, 2008, the Company received a partial

payment of $400,000 from Reliance pertaining to this claim. In October 2001, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania granted an Order of Liquidation to the Insurance Commissioner of Pennsylvania to begin liquidation proceedings against Reliance. Based upon discussions with its attorneys and other consultants regarding the amount and timing of potential collection of its claims on Reliance, the Company has recorded a reserve against its outstanding and estimated claim receivable from Reliance to reduce the balance to the estimated net realizable value of $858,000 reflecting the Company’s best estimate given the available facts and circumstances. The amount the Company collects could differ from the $858,000 reflected as a noncurrent insurance claim receivable at March 31, 2008. It is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will collect any of its $3,300,000 of estimated remaining claims. If the Company incurs additional product liability defense and other costs subject to claims on the Reliance product liability policy up to the $5,000,000 limit of the policy, the Company will have to pay such costs without expectation of reimbursement and will incur charges to operations for all or a portion of such payments.

I. Other

J. Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to tax benefit carryforwards and to differences between the financial statement amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established if, based on management’s review of both positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company’s historical losses from operations represent significant negative evidence that indicates the need for a valuation allowance. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established for the full amount of the deferred tax asset. If it is determined, based on future profitability, that these deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized, a release of all, or part, of the related valuation allowance could result in an immediate material income tax benefit in the period of decrease and material income tax provisions in future periods.

The Company adopted FIN 48 on October 1, 2007. The implementation of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or results of operations. The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards and federal and state research and development (“R&D”) credit carryforwards, which may be available to offset future federal and state income tax liabilities. The Company has not completed a formal R&D credit study, however, no amounts related to R&D credit carryforwards are being presented as an uncertain tax position under FIN 48.

The Company files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and in various state and local jurisdictions. The Company currently does not have any federal, state or local audits in progress. With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal, state or local examinations for years prior to 2004, however, carryforward attributes that were generated prior to 2004 may still be adjusted upon examination by state or local tax authorities if they either have been or will be used in a future period.

The Company will recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense. This policy did not change as a result of the adoption of FIN 48. For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company did not recognize any accrued interest and penalties in its consolidated statement of operations or its consolidated balance sheet.

K. Liquidity

The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the specialty pharmaceutical industry including, but not limited to, development by its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, its ability to protect proprietary technology, reliance on corporate collaborators and licensors to successfully research, develop and commercialize products based on the Company’s technologies, its ability to comply with FDA government regulations and approval requirements, its ability to grow its business and its ability to obtain adequate financing to fund its current and planned operations. The Company expects to continue to incur substantial expenditures for the development, commercialization and marketing of its products. The Company believes its current and expected cash resources are sufficient to fund its operations through approximately the middle of the first calendar quarter of 2009. The Company will need to obtain additional funding through public or private equity or debt financings, collaborative or other arrangements with third parties or through other sources of financing. There can be no assurance that such funds will be available to the Company. The failure to raise such funds would result in the need to significantly curtail the Company’s marketing activities and delay development efforts, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

L. Subsequent Events

(i)  In April 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to terminate its manufacturing and supply agreement with Shire plc (“Shire”) related to VANTAS. Under this termination agreement, Shire relinquished its right to receive royalties on net sales of VANTAS or a percentage of royalties and other consideration received by the Company relative to a sublicense of the Company’s VANTAS selling and marketing rights granted by Shire. In exchange, the termination agreement provided for the Company to pay Shire a total of $5 million consisting of an immediate payment of $1 million and the balance of $4 million in three annual installments commencing in January 2009. The Company will capitalize its obligation at the net present value of the payments and amortize the asset to expense over the remaining life of the license agreement.

(ii)  In April 2008, the Company entered into a License, Supply and Distribution Agreement with Orion Corporation (“Orion”) granting Orion the rights to market VANTAS throughout Europe as well as in certain other countries. VANTAS is currently approved for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer in Denmark and the United Kingdom. VANTAS is currently undergoing the mutual recognition procedure for further European approvals. The Company received a $7 million up-front payment and could receive certain contingent payments related to approvals and sales thresholds aggregating up to $14 million. Additionally, the Company has agreed to supply VANTAS to Orion at a pre-determined transfer price subject to annual minimum purchase requirements beginning in 2009. The agreement expires in April 2023, subject to earlier termination by either party under certain customary conditions of breach. The Agreement will automatically renew for one-year periods at a time, subject to the right of either party to terminate the agreement at any time effective at the end of the initial 15-year term or any subsequent one-year renewal period thereafter with at least six months prior written notice to the other party.

(iii)  In April 2008, the holder of the Company’s issued and outstanding 239,425 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and 5,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock exercised its conversion rights and converted all shares of issued and outstanding preferred stock into 622,220 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

(iv)  In April 2008, the Company received from Alkermes, Inc. a letter purporting to terminate the Feasibility Agreement dated as of February 4, 2005 between the Company and Alkermes relating to the development of an inhaled formulation of a pharmaceutical product that includes trospium chloride for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Over the last several months the Company and Alkermes have been engaged in discussions with several third parties relating to the further development and commercialization of this product and with each other to provide for further development by the Company and Alkermes. The Company disputes Alkermes’ position that this agreement has terminated and the Company intends to pursue vigorously all its rights and remedies under this agreement and applicable law. The Company owns or has an exclusive license to various know-how, and owns the IND, relating to the product that has been under development by the Company and Alkermes. The Company also has certain rights to joint intellectual property.

M. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to do so for recognition or disclosure purposes. The standard provides a common definition of fair value and is intended to make the measurement of fair value more consistent and comparable as well as improving disclosures about those measures. The standard is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This standard formalizes the measurement principles to be utilized in determining fair value for purposes such as derivative valuation and impairment analysis. The Company is evaluating the implications of this standard.

Table of Contents

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is evaluating the implications of this standard.

In June 2007, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 07-03, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities (“EITF 07-03”). EITF 07-03 concludes that non-refundable advance payments for future research and development activities should be deferred and capitalized until the goods have been delivered or the related services have been performed. If an entity does not expect the goods to be delivered or services to be rendered, the capitalized advance payment should be charged to expense. This consensus is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is not permitted. The effect of applying the consensus will be prospective for new contracts entered into on or after that date. The Company is evaluating the implications of this standard.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R replaces SFAS 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141”). SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. While the Company has not yet evaluated this statement for the impact that SFAS 141R will have on its consolidated financial statements, the Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after September 30, 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has not yet determined the impact that SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009.

In April 2008, we entered into an agreement to terminate our manufacturing and supply agreement with Shire plc (“Shire”) related to VANTAS. Under this termination agreement, Shire relinquished its right to receive royalties on net sales of VANTAS or a percentage of royalties and other consideration received by us relative to a sublicense of our VANTAS selling and marketing rights granted by Shire. In exchange, the termination agreement provided for us to pay Shire a total of $5 million consisting of an immediate payment of $1 million and the balance of $4 million in three annual installments commencing in January 2009. We will capitalize our obligation at the net present value of the payments and amortize the asset to expense over the remaining life of the license agreement.

In April 2008, we entered into a License, Supply and Distribution Agreement with Orion Corporation (“Orion”) granting Orion the rights to market VANTAS throughout Europe as well as in certain other countries. VANTAS is currently approved for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer in Denmark and the United Kingdom. VANTAS is currently undergoing the mutual recognition procedure for further European approvals. We received a $7 million up-front payment and could receive certain contingent payments related to approvals and sales thresholds aggregating up to $14 million. Additionally, we have agreed to supply VANTAS to Orion at a pre-determined transfer price subject to annual minimum purchase requirements beginning in 2009.

SANCTURA XR

In September 2007, we entered into an Amended and Restated License, Commercialization and Supply Agreement with Esprit Pharma, Inc. (“Esprit”), which re-defined the obligations of each party and superseded all previous agreements pertaining to SANCTURA and SANCTURA XR (the “Allergan Agreement”). The Allergan Agreement became effective on October 16, 2007. Simultaneously, Allergan acquired Esprit resulting in Esprit becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allergan. Upon effectiveness of the Allergan Agreement, we received an up-front license fee, partially creditable by Allergan against future payments to us, of $25 million, and approximately $8 million as payment of the supply price for future deliveries of SANCTURA XR subject to purchase orders issued by Allergan. The Allergan Agreement also grants us the right to receive a fixed percentage of net sales for the term of the Allergan Agreement, subject to increasing annual minimum royalties totaling approximately $123 million over the first seven years of the Agreement, provided there is no product adverse event, as defined in the Agreement. In addition, we will receive approximately $9 million in annual sales force subsidy for fiscal year 2008 which can be extended for up to six months at our option. Third-party royalties paid by us as a result of existing licensing, manufacturing and supply agreements associated with sales of SANCTURA and SANCTURA XR will be reimbursed to us. We will also manufacture and supply SANCTURA XR through June 30, 2008, and SANCTURA through September 30, 2012, to Allergan at cost. We may also receive a long-term commercialization milestone payment of $20 million related to generic competition. The Allergan Agreement expires on the later of the twelfth annual anniversary of the launch of SANCTURA XR, which occurred in January 2008, or the date of the last to expire patent covering SANCTURA XR in the United States. Either party may also terminate the Allergan Agreement under certain customary conditions of breach.

Collectively through March 31, 2008 and pursuant to all agreements between us and PLIVA d.d. (“PLIVA”), Esprit and Allergan, we have received approximately $338 million in the form of up front and milestone payments, royalties, sales force reimbursements and payments for product shipped to our marketing partners at our cost to manufacture.

NEBIDO

In January 2008, we announced the final results of an additional Phase III pharmacokinetic trial for NEBIDO. The data from the trial showed that NEBIDO met its primary endpoints, including a responder analysis based on an average testosterone concentration during the steady state dosing interval and an outlier analysis based on the maximum testosterone concentration during the steady state closing interval. In addition, the drug was well-tolerated. The NDA for NEBIDO was submitted to the FDA by us on August 28, 2007. The NDA was accepted for review and the FDA Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date is June 27, 2008.

VALSTAR

In April 2007, we submitted a Supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) to the FDA seeking approval to reintroduce VALSTAR. VALSTAR, originally approved by the FDA in 1998, is a sterile solution for intravesical (bladder) instillation of valrubicin, a chemotherapeutic anthracycline derivative and is the only product currently approved by the FDA for therapy of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) -refractory carcinoma in situ (CIS) of the urinary bladder. VALSTAR is used in BCG-refractory bladder cancer patients who are not candidates for surgical bladder removal (cystectomy).

In August 2007 we received an approvable letter from the FDA for VALSTAR asking for clarification regarding manufacturing validation protocols and additional data on the manufacturing process which was promptly provided. In December 2007, based on the FDA’s subsequent inspection of our third-party manufacturing facility, we received a non-approvable letter from the FDA. We are working with the FDA and our third-party manufacturer to bring the manufacturing facility into compliance with U.S. current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”). We anticipate resolving these issues during the first half of calendar 2008.

IP 751

In October 2007, we licensed our worldwide rights to IP 751 to Cervelo and received an upfront payment of $1,000,000. This revenue was deferred as of March 31, 2008 pending finalization of transfer of certain Cervelo know-how. The revenue will be recognized after all contractual obligations have been fulfilled, which is expected to occur in the three month period ending June 30, 2008. In addition, we could receive further payments based on regulatory and, if approved for marketing, commercial achievements aggregating approximately $37 million, and royalties based upon net sales. Cervelo is responsible for all future development, manufacturing, marketing and financial obligations relating to IP 751. This agreement will terminate ten years after first commercial sale on a country-by-country basis and may be terminated by either party under certain customary conditions of breach and by Cervelo upon six months notice to us.

PRO 2000

In February 2008, we were advised by the United Kingdom’s Medical Research Council (MRC) that after review of data from the Phase III clinical trial of PRO 2000, our candidate vaginal microbicide for HIV prevention, the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (“IDMC”) has recommended that the low-dose arm (0.5%) continue to be tested for safety and effectiveness in the trial. The IDMC, a group of independent experts providing oversight to the MDP 301 trial, also recommended the high-dose arm (2.0%) be closed as there is no more than a small chance of the high dose showing protection against HIV infection compared to placebo gel. The trial is sponsored by the MRC and conducted by the Microbicides Development Programme, an international partnership of researchers established to develop microbicides for the prevention of HIV transmission. The 0.5% dose of PRO 2000 is also being tested for safety and effectiveness in an additional Phase III trial sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (“NIAID”), part of the National Institutes of Health. The NIAID trial, which has completed enrollment, is expected to be completed this summer.

ALKS 27

On April 28, 2008, we received from Alkermes, Inc. a letter purporting to terminate the Feasibility Agreement dated as of February 4, 2005 between us and Alkermes relating to the development of an inhaled formulation of a pharmaceutical product that includes trospium chloride for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Over the last several months we and Alkermes have been engaged in discussions with several third parties relating to the further development and commercialization of this product and with each other to provide for further development by us and Alkermes. We dispute Alkermes’ position that this agreement has terminated and we intend to pursue vigorously all its rights and remedies under this agreement and applicable law. We own or have an exclusive license to various know-how, and own the IND, relating to the product that has been under development by us and Alkermes. We also have certain rights to joint intellectual property.

Other Recent Developments

In March 2008, we announced that Glenn L. Cooper, M.D. plans to retire as Indevus’ Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors by September 1, 2008. Dr. Cooper plans to serve as our advisor for twelve months thereafter.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reported periods. These items are regularly monitored and analyzed by management for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Our intangible assets consist of goodwill, VANTAS and our patented HYDRON® Polymer Technology. The HYDRON Polymer Technology is a proprietary, subcutaneous, retrievable, non-biodegradable, hydrogel reservoir-based drug delivery process involving a device designed to be inserted under a patient’s skin allowing the release of drugs continuously, at even, controlled rates for periods up to twelve months (the “HYDRON Technology”). SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires that periodic tests of goodwill for impairment be performed and that the other intangibles be amortized over their useful lives unless those lives are determined to be indefinite. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment under a two-step impairment process at least annually or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. We did not record any impairment charges during the three or six month periods ended March 31, 2008.

We amortize the carrying value of the VANTAS and the HYDRON Technology assets using the straight-line method over useful lives of 14 years for VANTAS and 17 years for the HYDRON Technology. Annual amortization expense is expected to be approximately $2 million. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2008, we recognized $497,000 and $993,000, respectively of amortization expense.

Revenue Recognition Policy

Revenue Recognition: We classify all revenue as product revenue or contract and license fee revenue. Any consideration received in advance of revenue recognition is recorded as deferred revenue. Product revenue consists primarily of revenues from sales of products, royalties and reimbursements for royalties owed by us. Product sales are generally recognized as revenue upon the later of shipment or title transfer to our customers. Sales of VANTAS and DELATESTRYL are recorded net of reserves for returns, rebates and allowances. For SUPPRELIN LA, where chargebacks, insurance reimbursement or refunds cannot be reasonably estimated, revenue is deferred until such amounts are known and recorded as product revenue net of reserves for rebates and allowances. Until October 16, 2007, the effective date of the Amended and

Restated License, Commercialization and Supply Agreement with Esprit Pharmaceuticals Inc., which was simultaneously acquired by Allergan, Inc., (the “Allergan Agreement”), we recorded sales of SANCTURA to our marketing partner as product sales. Subsequent to the Allergan Agreement, we determined that the arrangement represented a single unit of accounting and began aggregating all of the proceeds from sales of SANCTURA and SANCTURA XR with all of the other consideration received from Allergan, recording it all as deferred revenue and recognizing it as contract and license fee revenue using the appropriate revenue recognition model.

Royalty revenue consists of payments received from licensees for a portion of the sales proceeds from products that utilize our licensed technologies. Royalties are generally reported to us in a royalty report on a specified periodic basis and recognized in the period in which the sales of the product or technology on which the royalties are based occurred. If the royalty report for such period is received subsequent to the time when we are required to report our results on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K and the amount of the royalties earned is not estimable, royalty revenue is not recognized until a subsequent accounting period when the royalty report is received and when the amount of and basis for such royalty payments are reported to us in accurate and appropriate form and in accordance with the related license agreement.

Contract and license fee revenue consists of sales force subsidies, grants from agencies supporting research and development activities, and contractual initial and milestone payments received from partners, as well as amortization of deferred revenue from contractual payments. Our business strategy includes entering into collaborative license, development, supply and co-promotion agreements with strategic partners for the development and commercialization of our products or product candidates. The terms of the agreements typically include non-refundable license fees, funding of research and development, payments resulting from the achievement of certain milestones and royalties on net product sales.

Many of our agreements contain multiple elements and require evaluation pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue Number 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“EITF 00-21”). Pursuant to EITF 00-21, in multiple element arrangements where we have continuing performance obligations, contract, milestone and license fees are recognized together with any up-front payments over the term of the arrangement as we complete our performance obligations, unless the delivered technology has stand alone value to the customer and there is objective, reliable evidence of fair value of the undelivered elements in the arrangement. In the case of an arrangement where it is determined that there is a single unit of accounting, all cash flows from the arrangement are aggregated and recognized as revenue over the term of the arrangement as we complete our performance obligations. We record such revenue as contract and license fee revenue.

Certain multiple element arrangements include provisions for us to participate on various committees, such as steering committees, development committees, and commercialization committees. We evaluate the facts and circumstances of the arrangement to determine if our participation is protective of our interests or if it constitutes a deliverable to be included in our evaluation of the arrangement under EITF 00-21. Additionally, pursuant to the guidance in Securities and Exchange Commission Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, unless evidence suggests otherwise, revenue from consideration received is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected period of the arrangements during which we have continuing performance obligations.

We have elected to use the proportional performance model to determine recognition of revenue related to multiple element arrangements determined to be single units of accounting where we have continuing performance obligations and can estimate the completion of our earnings process. Under the Allergan Agreement, because we cannot determine the total amount of expected revenue or the pattern by which we will complete our obligations, all consideration is recognized as contract and license fee revenue using the Contingency-Adjusted Performance Model (“CAPM”). Under this model, when a portion of the consideration under the arrangement is earned, revenue is immediately recognized on a pro-rata basis in the period we achieve the milestone based on the time elapsed from inception of the Allergan Agreement to the time the milestone is earned over the estimated performance period of the Allergan Agreement. Thereafter, the remaining portion of the consideration is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining estimated performance period of the Allergan Agreement. In other multiple element arrangements where we can estimate our expected revenue and measure our completion of the earnings process, we utilize the proportional performance model.

In multiple element arrangements, where we have separate units of accounting, revenues from milestone payments related to arrangements under which we have no continuing performance obligations are recognized as revenue upon achievement of the milestone only if all of the following conditions are met: the milestone payments are non-refundable; achievement of the milestone was not reasonably assured at the inception of the arrangement; substantive effort is involved in achieving the milestone; and the amount of the milestone is reasonable in relation to the effort expended or the risk associated with achievement of the milestone. Determination as to whether a milestone meets the aforementioned conditions involves management’s judgment. If any of these conditions are not met, the milestone payments are deferred and recognized as revenue over the term of the arrangement as we complete our performance obligations.

Expected Terms of the Agreements regarding SANCTURA and SANCTURA XR and Deferred Revenue

We executed the Allergan Agreement effective on October 16, 2007, the terms and conditions of which required an assessment of the expected term over which we have continuing performance obligations. We assessed the Allergan Agreement pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue Number 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“EITF 00-21”). Based on this assessment, we determined that we had multiple deliverables, however the delivered elements did not have stand-alone value and there was no objective, reliable evidence of fair value for the undelivered elements. Thus, we concluded that the arrangement represented a single unit of accounting. Our obligations are expected to cease no later than September 30, 2012. Accordingly, commencing on the effective date of the Allergan Agreement, we commenced recognizing the deferred revenue balances that existed on the effective date, as well as the initial license payment of $25 million, over the approximately 5-year performance period. All future payments received from Allergan during the performance period, including royalties, sales force reimbursement and product revenue will be amortized using the CAPM. All payments received after the performance period will be recognized as revenue when earned.

Prior to the October 16, 2007 effective date of the Allergan Agreement, we were recording the initial and milestone payments received from PLIVA and Esprit as deferred revenue and recognizing such payments as revenue using the CAPM over the estimated twelve year term of the original agreement with PLIVA, commencing on the date such payments were received.

After consideration of the estimated performance periods as noted above, we amortized $10,336,000 and $5,062,000 of deferred revenue into contract and license fee revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We amortized $18,910,000 and $10,708,000 of deferred revenue into contract and license fee revenue during the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The balance of deferred revenue related to the Allergan Agreement at March 31, 2008 was $182,499,000.

In November 2006, we entered into several agreements with Madaus GmbH (“Madaus”) relative to SANCTURA and SANCTURA XR in certain non U.S. territories (the “Madaus Agreements”). The Madaus Agreements have been combined for accounting purposes and we evaluated the multiple deliverables in accordance with the provisions of EITF 00-21. We were unable to demonstrate that the delivered items had stand alone value or that the undelivered elements had verifiable objective evidence of fair value, and thus we concluded that the arrangement represented a single unit of accounting. Initially, upon execution of the Madaus Agreements, we were unable to determine the term of our obligation to provide future know-how to Madaus. Subsequent to the Allergan Agreement, we reevaluated this performance obligation and determined that it was analogous to a performance obligation we have to provide know-how to Allergan. Per the Allergan Agreement, our know-how obligations are expected to cease no later than September 30, 2012. Accordingly, we will recognize all payments received from Madaus through September 30, 2012 using the CAPM and will reflect the recognition of such payments as contract and license fee revenue over the approximately 6-year performance period. All payments received after the approximately 6-year performance period will be recognized as revenue when earned. In addition, we have evaluated payments to be made by us to Madaus under the Madaus Agreements in accordance with the provisions of EITF 01-9, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products)”, and have determined that we are receiving a separable benefit for each payment and each benefit has objective evidence of fair value.

Redux-Related Liabilities

At March 31, 2008, we have an accrued liability of approximately $500,000 for Redux-related expenses, including legal expenses. The amounts we ultimately pay could differ significantly from the amount currently accrued at March 31, 2008. To the extent the amounts paid differ from the amounts accrued, we will record a charge or credit to the statement of operations.

Insurance Claim Receivable

As of March 31, 2008, we had an outstanding insurance claim of approximately $3,300,000, consisting of payments made by us to the group of law firms defending us in the Redux-related product liability litigation, for services rendered by such law firms through May 30, 2001. The full amount of our current outstanding insurance claim is made pursuant to our product liability policy issued to us by Reliance Insurance Company (“Reliance”). During the three month period ended

Table of Contents

March 31, 2008, we received a partial payment of $400,000 from Reliance pertaining to this claim. Based upon discussions with our attorneys and other consultants regarding the amount and timing of potential collection of our claim on Reliance, we previously recorded a reserve against our outstanding and estimated claim receivable from Reliance to reduce the balance to the estimated net realizable value of $858,000 reflecting our best estimate given the available facts and circumstances. We believe our reserve of approximately $2,400,000 against the insurance claim on Reliance as of March 31, 2008 is a significant estimate reflecting management’s judgment. To the extent we do not collect the insurance claim receivable of $858,000 we would be required to record additional charges. Alternatively, if we collect amounts in excess of the current receivable balance, we would record a credit for the additional funds received in the statement of operations.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

We invest available cash primarily in short-term bank deposits, money market funds, repurchase agreements, domestic and foreign commercial paper and government securities. Cash and cash equivalents include investments with maturities of three months or less at date of purchase. Marketable securities consist of investments purchased with maturities greater than three months and are classified as noncurrent if they mature one year or more beyond the balance sheet date and are not considered available to fund current operations. Investments are stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss until realized. The fair value of these securities is based on quoted market prices. At March 31, 2008 and September 30, 2007, we had no marketable securities.

Inventory Capitalization Policy

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined under the first in, first out (“FIFO”) method. Included in inventory costs are materials, drug costs, direct labor and manufacturing overheads that include facility costs and indirect manufacturing costs. We expense costs related to inventory until such time as we receive approval from the FDA to market a product, at which time we commence capitalization of costs relating to that product.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

We have several stock-based employee compensation plans. On October 1, 2005, we adopted SFAS 123R “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123R”). Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. We are required to make significant estimates related to SFAS 123R. Our expected stock-price volatility assumption is based on both current implied volatility and historical volatilities of the underlying stock which are obtained from public data sources. For stock option grants issued to non-executives during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we used a weighted-average expected stock-price volatility of 49.5% and 60.6%, respectively. For stock option grants issued to non-executives during the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we used a weighted-average expected stock-price volatility of 49.1% and 60.7%, respectively. For stock option grants to executives during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we used a weighted average expected stock-price volatility of 52.9% and 64.0%, respectively. For stock option grants to executives during the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we used weighted average expected stock-price volatility ranges of 50.0% to 52.9% and 62.8% to 64.0%, respectively. A higher volatility input to the Black-Scholes model increases the resulting compensation expense. We also determined the weighted-average option life assumption based on the exercise patterns that different employee groups exhibited historically, adjusted for specific factors that may influence future exercise patterns. For stock option grants made during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we used a weighted-average expected option life assumption of 6.50 and 6.25, respectively, for non-executives and 8.0 years for executives. For stock option grants made during the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we used a weighted-average expected option life assumption of 6.47 years for non-executives and 8.0 years for executives. A shorter expected term would result in lower compensation expense.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Results of Operations

Our net loss increased $5,467,000 to $(17,906,000), or $(0.23) per share, basic, in the three month period ended March 31, 2008 from $(12,439,000), or $(0.22) per share, basic, in the three month period ended March 31, 2007 and increased $9,871,000 to $(32,609,000), or $(0.43) per share, basic, in the six month period ended March 31, 2008 from $(22,738,000), or $(0.41) per share, basic, in the six month period ended March 31, 2007. The increased net loss in the three and six months ended March 31, 2008 is primarily the result of increased sales and marketing expense related to NEBIDO and products obtained through our acquisition of Valera partially offset by increased gross margin from sales of VANTAS and SUPPRELIN LA and decreased research and development costs.

Total revenues increased $6,419,000, or 57%, to $17,643,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2008 from $11,224,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2007 and increased $9,667,000, or 40%, to $34,042,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 2008 from $24,375,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 2007.

Historically, product revenue included shipments of SANCTURA to our marketing partner Esprit, as well as royalty payments received from Esprit whereas amortization of deferred revenue from the upfront and milestone payments from Esprit resulting from our collaboration agreement was recorded in contract and license fee revenue. Management assessed the accounting model for the Allergan Agreement and determined that as of October 16, 2007, all payments received from Allergan under this new arrangement, including upfront fees, sales force payments, product sales and royalties, would be accounted for as a single unit of accounting and reflected as contract and license fee revenue in our income statement using the CAPM.

Product revenue increased $3,754,000 or 109%, to $7,209,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2008 from $3,455,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2007 and increased $5,795,000 or 67%, to $14,507,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 2008 from $8,712,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 2007. Included in revenue for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2008 is $3,583,000 and $7,159,000, respectively of revenue resulting from the sales of VANTAS, and $2,986,000 and $5,247,000, respectively of revenue resulting from the sales of SUPPRELIN LA, both of which were obtained through our acquisition of Valera in April 2007. Included in revenue for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2007 is $2,461,000 and $6,805,000 of revenue related to product and royalty revenue resulting from our prior collaboration with Esprit.

Contract and license fee revenues increased $2,665,000 or 34%, to $10,434,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2008 from $7,769,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2007 and $3,872,000 or 25%, to $19,535,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 2008 from $15,663,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 2007. The increase in contract and license fee revenue is primarily related to the Esprit and Allergan Agreements and is due primarily to the receipt of a $25 million milestone payment from Allergan in October 2007 which, along with the previously deferred revenue, is now being recognized over a five year CAPM which replaces the previous twelve year CAPM applied through October 16, 2007. In addition, product and royalty payments resulting from the Allergan collaboration are accounted for under the CAPM commencing as of the October 16, 2007 effective date of the amended collaboration. Such revenues had previously been reflected as product revenues when the product was shipped and when the royalties were due and payable from Esprit. As of March 31, 2008, we have approximately $182,499,000 of deferred revenue related to the Allergan Agreement which is expected to be recognized under CAPM through September 30, 2012.

Cost of revenue increased $5,138,000, or 403%, to $6,412,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2008 from $1,274,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2007 and $6,717,000, or 121%, to $12,267,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 2008 from $5,550,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 2007. Included in this increase are costs of $2,827,000 and $5,400,000 related to sales of VANTAS for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2008, respectively. Costs associated with sales of SANCTURA and SANCTURA XR increased $2,415,000 and $2,340,000 for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2008, respectively.

Research and development expense decreased $3,019,000, or 33%, to $6,253,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2008 from $9,272,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2007 and $6,546,000, or 34%, to $12,645,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 2008 from $19,191,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 2007. External product development costs related to SANCTURA and SANCTURA XR decreased approximately $3,223,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2008 and $7,351,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 2008 because the product was approved in August 2007. External product development costs for NEBIDO decreased approximately $1,583,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2008 and $1,470,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 2008 due to decreased clinical costs primarily due to decreased investigator fees and laboratory services. Partially offsetting these decreased external development costs during the three months ended March 31, 2008 were increased external product development costs of $2,128,000 incurred for products obtained through our purchase of Valera, including $1,558,000 for VALSTAR and the

octreotide and naltrexone implants. During the six months ended March 31, 2008, increased external product developments costs of $3,056,000 were incurred for products obtained through our purchase of Valera, including $2,037,000 for VALSTAR and the octreotide and naltrexone implants.

Marketing, general and administrative expense increased $8,589,000, or 68%, to $21,276,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2008 from $12,687,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2007 and $17,352,000, or 80%, to $39,042,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 2008 from $21,690,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 2007.

Marketing expense increased $5,457,000, or 68%, to $13,432,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2008 from $7,975,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2007 and $11,654,000, or 91%, to $24,449,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 2008 from $12,795,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 2007. This increase is primarily the result of advertising and other marketing expense for VANTAS and SUPPRELIN LA, pre-launch costs related to NEBIDO and VALSTAR and additional sales force costs related to Valera’s sales force and products.

General and administrative expense increased $3,132,000, or 66%, to $7,844,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2008 from $4,712,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2007 and $5,698,000, or 64%, to $14,593,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 2008 from $8,895,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 2007. Included in the general and administrative expense for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2008 is increased headcount-related expense of approximately $834,000 and $1,660,000, respectively, increased recruiting costs of approximately $482,000 and $536,000, respectively and increased legal and professional services fees of approximately $377,000 and $965,000, respectively. Increased rent expense and other related costs of $116,000 and $309,000 for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2008 is a result of our acquisition of Valera. Also included in general and administrative expense for the six month period ended March 31, 2008 is a charge of $442,000 related to a sublease of a portion of our Cranbury facilities.

In connection with our acquisition of Valera, we acquired certain intangible assets, including VANTAS and the HYDRON Technology. We have recorded amortization expense of $497,000 and $993,000 during the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2008, respectively, related to these intangible assets. The annual amortization of these intangible assets is expected to be approximately $2,000,000. The estimated life of these intangible assets is fourteen to seventeen years.

Investment income decreased $213,000, or 25%, to $650,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2008 from $863,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2007 and $134,000, or 7%, to $1,769,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 2008 from $1,903,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in investment income in the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2008 is the result of lower average interest rates and lower average funds available for investment.

Interest expense relates to our $71,925,000 of 6.25% Convertible Senior Notes due July 2009 and $75,000 of 6.25% Convertible Senior Notes due July 2008 (the “Convertible Notes”). Interest expense of approximately $1,761,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2008 includes $1,125,000 of interest to be paid, approximately $83,000 of amortization of original debt issuance costs, and approximately $548,000 from accretion of the discounted carrying value of the Convertible Notes due in 2009 to their face value. Interest expense of approximately $3,473,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2008 includes $2,250,000 of interest to be paid, approximately $165,000 of amortization of original debt issuance costs, and approximately $1,051,000 from accretion of the discounted carrying value of the Convertible Notes due in 2009 to their face value. Total interest expense in fiscal 2008 is expected to be approximately $6,978,000, and will include approximately $2,150,000 from accretion of the discounted carrying value of the Convertible Notes due in 2009 to their face value.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

At March 31, 2008 we had consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $60,765,000 compared to consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $71,142,000 at September 30, 2007. This decrease of $10,377,000 is primarily the result of net cash used in operating activities of $10,567,000 (see “Analysis of Cash Flows”).

We are continuing to invest substantial amounts in the ongoing development of our product candidates and sales activities related to our marketed products SANCTURA and SANCTURA XR, SUPPRELIN LA and VANTAS. In fiscal 2008, we expect to continue investing in pre-marketing activities related to NEBIDO and, if the product is approved, launch and marketing activities. If approved by the FDA, we also expect to invest in launch and marketing activities related to VALSTAR. We are continuing to invest in the development of NEBIDO. We may purchase inventory of NEBIDO prior to FDA approval in order to be ready to launch NEBIDO soon after approval. We believe our current and expected cash resources are sufficient to fund our operations through approximately the middle of the first calendar quarter of 2009. We

will need to obtain additional funding through public or private equity or debt financings, collaborative or other arrangements with third parties or through other sources of financing. There can be no assurance that such funds will be available to us. The failure to raise such funds would result in the need to significantly curtail our marketing activities and delay development efforts, which would have a material adverse effect on us.

We will require additional funds or corporate collaborations for the development and commercialization of our other product candidates, as well as any new businesses, products or technologies acquired or developed in the future. We have no commitments to obtain such funds. There can such be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing to satisfy future cash requirements on acceptable terms, or at all. If such additional funds are not obtained, we may be required to delay product development and business development activities.

We have $71,925,000 of our 6.25% Convertible Senior Notes outstanding which are due in July 2009. If these notes do not convert into common stock by July 15, 2009, we will be required to redeem these notes for cash.

There remain 1,950,000 shares issuable pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 we filed with the SEC in December 2005. The registration statement remains effective and the remaining shares of our common stock may be offered from time to time through one or more methods of distribution, subject to market conditions and our capital needs. The terms of any offerings would be established at the time of the offering. Currently, we do not have any commitments to sell such shares remaining under the registration statement.

In April 2008, the holder of our issued and outstanding 239,425 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and 5,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock exercised its conversion rights and converted all shares of issued and outstanding preferred stock into 622,220 shares of our Common Stock.

Product Development

There can be no assurance that results of any ongoing or future pre-clinical or clinical trials will be successful, that additional trials will not be required, that any drug or product under development will receive FDA approval in a timely manner or at all, or that such drug or product could be successfully manufactured in accordance with U.S. current Good Manufacturing Practices, or successfully marketed in a timely manner, or at all, or that we will have sufficient funds to develop or commercialize any of our products.

Total research and development expenses incurred by us through March 31, 2008 on our core development products for which an NDA has not been filed, including up-front and milestone payments and allocation of corporate general and administrative expenses, were approximately as follows: $24,000,000 for PRO 2000 and $4,000,000 for the octreotide implant. We have not included compounds in development for which we do not expect to incur additional material research and development costs. Estimating costs and time to complete development of a compound is difficult due to the uncertainties of the development process and the requirements of the FDA which could necessitate additional and unexpected clinical trials or other development, testing and analysis. Results of any testing could result in a decision to alter or terminate development of a compound, in which case estimated future costs could change substantially. Certain compounds could benefit from subsidies, grants or government or agency-sponsored studies that could reduce our development costs. In the event we were to enter into a licensing or other collaborative agreement with a corporate partner involving sharing, funding or assumption by such corporate partner of development costs, the estimated development costs to be incurred by us could be substantially less than the estimates below. Additionally, research and development costs are extremely difficult to estimate for early-stage compounds due to the fact that there is generally less comprehensive data available for such compounds to determine the development activities that would be required prior to the filing of an NDA.

Given the above uncertainties, and other risks, variables and considerations related to each compound and regulatory uncertainties in general, we estimate remaining research and development costs, excluding allocation of corporate general and administrative expenses, from March 31, 2008 through the preparation of an NDA for our core development compounds as follows: approximately $14,000,000 for PRO 2000 and $13,000,000 for the octreotide implant. Actual costs to complete any of our products may differ significantly from the estimates. We cannot reasonably estimate the date of completion for any compound that is not at least in Phase III clinical development due to uncertainty of the number, size, and duration of the trials which may be required to complete development. When we acquired Valera on April 18, 2007, the following products were in development and unapproved: SUPPRELIN LA, the octreotide implant and the biodegradable ureteral stent. SUPPRELIN LA was approved in May 2007 and the other products are continuing under development. We are currently considering strategic partners for future development and commercialization of PRO 2000 and evaluating commercialization options for pagoclone in parallel with our ongoing development program and preliminary market development activities.

Analysis of Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities

For the six months ended March 31, 2008, our primary source of funds was related to our agreements with Allergan and Esprit. On the effective date of the Allergan Agreement, we received an up-front fee of $25 million and a payment of the supply price for future deliveries of SANCTURA XR of $8 million. Cash was expended primarily in the normal operations of our business by the various functions as represented in the statement of operations. Net cash used in operating activities in the six month period ended March 31, 2008 of $10,567,000 consisted primarily of (i) the net loss of $32,609,000, (ii) a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $6,690,000, (iii) an increase in inventory balances of $3,742,000 related to the purchase of trospium active pharmaceutical ingredient, and (iv) an increase in accounts receivable of $4,488,000 primarily due to increased sales of SUPPRELIN LA and increased amounts due from Allergan, partially offset by (i) a $26,001,000 increase in deferred revenue primarily due to payments from Allergan, net of amortization, and (ii) $6,931,000 of noncash charges for stock-based compensation, lease abandonment, depreciation and amortization and note discount amortization.

For the six months ended March 31, 2007, net cash used in operating activities of $14,623,000 consisted primarily of the net loss of $22,738,000. Additionally contributing to cash used in operating activities was a $1,153,000 increase in accounts receivable and a $1,001,000 decrease in accounts payable. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to the timing of collection of the monthly sales force receivable due from Esprit. The decrease in accounts payable was primarily due to the timing of when we received vendor invoices and our payments against those invoices. Partially offsetting these uses of cash in operating activities was noncash stock-based compensation of $2,645,000, establishment of a noncash charge for excess DELATESTRYL inventory of approximately $1,100,000 and an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $3,582,000 primarily related to an increase in accrued R&D contracts.

Net cash used in operating activities of $10,567,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $4,056,000 from $14,623,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2007. Net loss increased $9,871,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2008 from the six months ended March 31, 2007 as described in Results of Operations. Also, the change in deferred revenue between the six months ended March 31, 2008 and the six months ended March 31, 2007 resulted in an improvement in cash used in operations of $25,226,000 as there was an increase in deferred revenue from receipts from Allergan in the first two quarters of fiscal 2008. In addition, pursuant to the Allergan Agreement, all payments received from Allergan, including upfront fees, sales force payments, product sales and royalties, are now accounted for as a single unit of accounting and are reflected as contract and license fee revenue in our income statement using the CAPM, which increased our deferred revenue balance over the six months ended March 31, 2007.

Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities

For the six months ended March 31, 2008, net cash used in investing activities of $2,191,000 resulted from purchases of property, plant and equipment.

For the six months ended March 31, 2007, net cash provided by investing activities of $2,657,000 was primarily comprised of maturities and sales of marketable securities of $5,956,000, offset by prepaid Valera acquisition costs of $3,113,000.

Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities of ($2,191,000) for the six months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $4,848,000 from $2,657,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2007.

Net cash provided by financing activities

For the six months ended March 31, 2008, net cash provided by financing activities of $2,381,000 resulted from common stock issued from exercises of stock options and employee participation in our employee stock purchase plan. We cannot predict if or when stock options will be exercised in the future.

For the six months ended March 31, 2007, net cash provided by financing activities of $806,000 resulted from common stock issued from employee exercises of stock options and employee participation in our employee stock purchase plan.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $2,381,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2008 increased $1,575,000 from $806,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2007 due primarily to exercises of stock options.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS 157”) which addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to do so for recognition or disclosure purposes. The standard

 

24


Table of Contents

provides a common definition of fair value and is intended to make the measurement of fair value more consistent and comparable as well as improving disclosures about those measures. The standard is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This standard formalizes the measurement principles to be utilized in determining fair value for purposes such as derivative valuation and impairment analysis. We are evaluating the implications of this standard.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are evaluating the implications of this standard.

In June 2007, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 07-03, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities (“EITF 07-03”). EITF 07-03 concludes that non-refundable advance payments for future research and development activities should be deferred and capitalized until the goods have been delivered or the related services have been performed. If an entity does not expect the goods to be delivered or services to be rendered, the capitalized advance payment should be charged to expense. This consensus is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is not permitted. The effect of applying the consensus will be prospective for new contracts entered into on or after that date. We are evaluating the implications of this standard.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R replaces SFAS 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141”). SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. While we have not yet evaluated this statement for the impact that SFAS 141R will have on our consolidated financial statements, we will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after September 30, 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. We have not yet determined the impact that SFAS 160 will have on our consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We own financial instruments that are sensitive to market risks as part of our investment portfolio. The investment portfolio is used to preserve our capital until it is required to fund operations, including our research and development activities. None of these market-risk sensitive instruments are held for trading purposes. We do not own derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio.

Interest Rate Risk related to Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

We invest our cash in a variety of financial instruments, primarily in short-term bank deposits, money market funds, and domestic and foreign commercial paper and government securities. These investments are denominated in U.S. dollars and are subject to interest rate risk, and could decline in value if interest rates fluctuate. Our investment portfolio includes only marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to help ensure portfolio liquidity and we have implemented guidelines limiting the duration of investments. Due to the conservative nature of these instruments, we do not believe that we have a material exposure to interest rate risk.

Risk related to the Convertible Notes

The fair value of our Convertible Notes is sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates and the price of our Common Stock into which the Convertible Notes are convertible. A decrease in the price of our Common Stock could result in a decrease in

 

25


Table of Contents

the fair value of the Convertible Notes. For example on a very simplified basis, a decrease of 10% of the market value of our Common Stock could reduce the value of a $1,000 Note by approximately $42.50. An increase in market interest rates could result in a decrease in the fair value of the Convertible Notes. For example on a very simplified basis, an interest rate increase of 1% could reduce the value of a $1,000 Note by approximately $36.25. The two examples provided above are only hypothetical and actual changes in the value of the Convertible Notes due to fluctuations in the market value of our Common Stock or interest rates could vary substantially from these examples.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness, as of March 31, 2008, of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2008 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Subject to the qualifications set forth below, no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Product Liability Litigation. On September 15, 1997, we announced a market withdrawal of our first prescription product, the weight loss medication Redux (dexfenfluramine hydrochloride capsules) C-IV, which had been launched by Wyeth (formerly American Home Products Corporation), our licensee, in June 1996. The withdrawal of Redux was based on a preliminary analysis by the FDA of potential abnormal echocardiogram findings associated with certain patients taking Redux or the combination of fenfluramine with phentermine. After the withdrawal of Redux, we were named, together with other pharmaceutical companies, as a defendant in several thousand product liability legal actions, some of which purported to be class actions, in federal and state courts relating to the use of Redux and other weight loss drugs. To date, there have been no judgments against us, nor have we paid any amounts in settlement of any of these claims.

On May 30, 2001, we entered into an indemnity and release agreement with Wyeth pursuant to which Wyeth agreed to indemnify us against certain classes of product liability cases filed against us involving Redux. Our indemnification covers plaintiffs who initially opted out of Wyeth’s national class action settlement of diet drug claims and claimants alleging primary pulmonary hypertension. In addition, Wyeth agreed to fund all future legal costs related to our defense of Redux- related product liability cases. The agreement also provides for Wyeth to fund certain additional insurance coverage to supplement our existing product liability insurance. We believe this total insurance coverage is sufficient to address our potential remaining Redux product liability exposure.

Up to the date of the AHP indemnity and release agreement, our defense costs were paid by, or subject to reimbursement to us from, our product liability insurers. To date, there have been no Redux-related product liability settlements or judgments paid by us or our insurers.

On January 18, 2005, Wyeth announced that they had developed a proposed process by which large numbers of cases involving claimants, who opted out of Wyeth’s national class action settlement and who have named both Wyeth and Indevus as defendants, might be negotiated and settled. Since that date a significant number of cases in which Indevus has been named as a defendant have been dismissed or resolved.

General. Although we maintain certain product liability and director and officer liability insurance and intend to defend these and similar actions vigorously, we have been required and may continue to be required to devote significant

Table of Contents

management time and resources to these legal actions. In the event of successful uninsured or insufficiently insured claims, or in the event a successful indemnification claim were made against us and our officers and directors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. The uncertainties and costs associated with these legal actions have had, and may continue to have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock and on our ability to obtain corporate collaborations or additional financing to satisfy cash requirements, to retain and attract qualified personnel, to develop and commercialize products on a timely and adequate basis, to acquire rights to additional products, or to obtain product liability insurance for other products at costs acceptable to us, or at all, any or all of which may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
