King is a vertically integrated pharmaceutical company that
performs basic research and develops, manufactures, markets and
sells branded prescription pharmaceutical products. By
vertically integrated, we mean that we have the
following capabilities:
|
|
|
|
|
|
research and development
|
|
distribution
|
|
|
|
manufacturing
|
|
sales and marketing
|
|
|
|

|
|
business development
|
|
|
|
quality control and assurance
|
|
regulatory management
|
Through our national sales force we market our branded
prescription pharmaceutical products to general/family
practitioners, internal medicine physicians, neurologists, pain
specialists, surgeons and hospitals across the United States and
in Puerto Rico. Branded pharmaceutical products are innovative
products sold under a brand name that enjoy, or previously
enjoyed, some degree of market exclusivity.
Our corporate strategy is focused on target, specialty-driven
markets, particularly neuroscience, hospital and acute care. We
believe each of these target markets has significant market
potential and our organization is aligned accordingly.
Under our corporate strategy we work to achieve organic growth
by maximizing the potential of our currently marketed products
through sales and marketing and prudent product life-cycle
management. By product life-cycle management, we
mean the extension of the economic life of a product, including
seeking and gaining necessary related governmental approvals, by
such means as:
|
|
|
|
|
securing from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which
we refer to as the FDA, additional approved uses
(indications) for our branded pharmaceutical
products;
|
|
|
|
developing and producing different strengths;
|
2
|
|
|
|
|
producing different package sizes;
|
|
|
|
developing new dosage forms; and
|
|
|
|
developing new product formulations.
|
Our strategy also focuses on growth through the acquisition of
novel branded pharmaceutical products in various stages of
development and the acquisition of pharmaceutical technologies,
particularly those products and technologies that we believe
have significant market potential and complement our
neuroscience, hospital and acute care medicine platforms. Using
our internal resources and a disciplined business development
process, we strive to be a leader and partner of choice in
developing and commercializing innovative,
clinically-differentiated therapies and technologies in our
target, specialty-driven markets. We may also seek company
acquisitions that add products or products in development,
technologies or sales and marketing capabilities to our existing
platforms or that otherwise complement our operations. We also
work to achieve organic growth by continuing to develop
investigational drugs, as we have a strong commitment to
research and development and advancing the products and
technologies in our development pipeline.

Recent
Developments
Accelerated
Strategic Shift
Following the Circuit Courts decision in September 2007
invalidating our
Altace®
patent, our senior management team conducted an extensive
examination of our company and developed a restructuring
initiative designed to accelerate a previously planned strategic
shift emphasizing our focus on neuroscience, hospital and acute
care markets. This initiative included a reduction in personnel,
staff leverage, expense reductions and additional controls over
spending, reorganization of sales teams and a realignment of
research and development priorities. Pursuant to this
initiative, we terminated approximately 20% of our workforce,
primarily through a reduction in our sales force.
3
New
Generic Competition
In December 2007, a third party entered the market with a
generic substitute for our
Altace®
capsules. This followed the decision of the U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the Circuit
Court) in September 2007 which declared invalid U.S.
Patent No. 5,061,722 (the 722 Patent) that covered
our
Altace®
product, overruling the decision of the U.S. District Court for
the Eastern District of Virginia (the District
Court), which had upheld the validity of the patent. We
filed with the Circuit Court a petition for rehearing and
rehearing en banc, but this petition was denied in
December 2007. As a result of the entry of a generic substitute,
our sales of
Altace®
have begun to decline. We launched a tablet formulation of
Altace®
in February 2008.
In January 2008, we entered into an agreement with CorePharma,
LLC (CorePharma) granting CorePharma a license to
launch an authorized generic version of
Skelaxin®
in December 2012, or earlier under certain conditions.
New
Branded®
Competition
Beginning in 2008,
Thrombin-JMI®,
our bovine thrombin product, has new competition from
recombinant human thrombin and human thrombin. Omrix
Biopharmaceuticals, Inc.s Biologics Licensing Application
(BLA) for its human thrombin product was approved in
September 2007. Zymogenetics, Inc. received approval of its BLA
for recombinant human thrombin in January 2008. The presence of
these competing products in the marketplace may reduce net sales
of
Thrombin-JMI®
materially.
Clinical
Trial Results
In December 2007, we, together with Pain Therapeutics Inc.,
announced positive results from the pivotal Phase III
clinical trial for
Remoxytm.
The Phase III trial was conducted in accordance with a
Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) from the FDA. The
top-line data indicates that the Phase III trial achieved a
statistically significant result in its primary endpoint,
defined by the SPA as a mean decrease in pain intensity scores
during the 12-week treatment period. In addition, the
Phase III trial achieved statistically significant results
in secondary endpoints.
Remoxytm,
an investigational novel formulation of extended release,
long-acting oxycodone for moderate to severe pain, is designed
to resist common methods of abuse, such as crushing, heating, or
dissolution in alcohol, that are reported with respect to other
long-acting opioids.
We entered into a series of agreements with Pain Therapeutics in
November 2005 to develop and commercialize
Remoxytm
and other extended release, long-acting opioid painkillers that
resist common methods of abuse. We have worldwide exclusive
rights to commercialize
Remoxytm
and the other abuse-resistant opioid drugs that are developed
pursuant to the collaboration, other than in Australia and
New Zealand.
In early 2008, we received positive results from our
Phase III clinical trials with
CorVuetm
(binodenoson) our next generation cardiac pharmacologic
stress-imaging agent. We expect to file a new drug application
(NDA) for
CorVuetm
with the FDA by early 2009. The Phase II clinical trial for
Sonedenoson, formerly MRE-0094, an adenosine A2a receptor
agonist for the topical treatment of chronic, neuropathic,
diabetic foot ulcers, did not meet its primary endpoint. We are
continuing to evaluate the data from this trial.
Expanded
Product Portfolio and Development Pipeline
In October 2007, we entered into a License, Development and
Commercialization Agreement with Acura Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
(Acura) to develop and commercialize certain
immediate release opioid analgesic products utilizing
Acuras proprietary
Aversion®
(abuse-deterrent/abuse-resistant) Technology in the United
States, Canada and Mexico. The agreement provides us with an
exclusive license for
Acuroxtm
(oxycodone HCl, niacin and a unique combination of other
ingredients) tablets and another undisclosed opioid product
utilizing Acuras
Aversion®
Technology. In addition, the agreement provides us with an
option to license all future opioid analgesic products developed
utilizing Acuras
Aversion®
Technology.
Acuroxtm
tablets are intended to effectively treat moderate to moderately
severe pain while deterring or resisting common methods
4
of abuse, including intravenous injection or oral consumption of
tablets dissolved in liquids, nasal inhalation of crushed
tablets and intentional swallowing of excessive numbers of
tablets.
On February 26, 2007, we acquired all the rights to
Avinza®
in the United States, its territories and Canada from Ligand
Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (Ligand).
Avinza®
is an extended release formulation of morphine and is indicated
as a once-daily treatment for moderate to severe pain in
patients who require continuous opioid therapy for an extended
period of time.
Other
In October 2007, we sold our Rochester, Michigan sterile
manufacturing facility, some of our legacy products that are
manufactured there and the related contract manufacturing
business to JHP Pharmaceuticals, LLC (JHP) for
$91.7 million less selling costs of $5.4 million. This
transaction resulted in a loss of $46.4 million. The
companies also entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement
pursuant to which JHP will provide to us certain filling and
finishing manufacturing activities with respect to
Thrombin-JMI®.
The sale did not include our stand-alone sterile penicillin
production facility that is also located in Rochester, Michigan.
In September 2007, we provided Palatin Technologies, Inc.
(Palatin) with notice of termination of our
Collaborative Development and Marketing Agreement to jointly
develop and commercialize Palatins bremelanotide compound,
which was formerly known as PT-141, for the treatment of male
and female sexual dysfunction. Our decision to terminate the
agreement followed communications from representatives of the
FDA of serious concerns about the lack of an acceptable
benefit/risk ratio to support the progression of the proposed
bremelanotide program into Phase III studies for erectile
dysfunction (ED). After reviewing the data generated
in the Phase I and II studies, the FDA questioned the overall
efficacy results and the clinical benefit of this product in
both the general and diabetic ED populations, and cited blood
pressure increases as its greatest safety concern. The
termination was effective in December 2007.
Industry
The pharmaceutical industry is a highly competitive global
business composed of a variety of participants, including large
and small branded pharmaceutical companies, specialty and
niche-market pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms,
large and small research and drug development organizations, and
generic drug manufacturers. These participants compete on a
number of bases, including technological innovation or novelty,
clinical efficacy, safety, convenience or ease of administration
and cost-effectiveness. In order to promote their products to
physicians and consumers, industry participants devote
considerable resources to advertising, marketing and sales force
personnel, distribution mechanisms and relationships with
medical and research centers, physicians and patient advocacy
and support groups.
The industry is affected by the following factors, among others:
|
|
|
|
|
the aging of the patient population, including diseases specific
to the aging process and demographic factors, including obesity,
diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and patient and physician
demand for products that meet chronic or unmet medical needs;
|
|
|
|
technological innovation, both in drug discovery and corporate
processes;
|
|
|
|
merger and acquisition activity whereby pharmaceutical companies
are acquiring one another or smaller biotechnology companies,
and divestitures of products deemed non-strategic;
|
|
|
|
cost containment and downward price pressure from managed care
organizations and governmental entities, both in the United
States and overseas;
|
|
|
|
increased drug development, manufacturing and compliance costs
for pharmaceutical producers;
|
|
|
|
the rise of generic pharmaceutical companies and challenges to
patent protection and sales exclusivity;
|
|
|
|
more frequent product liability litigation;
|
5
|
|
|
|
|
increased governmental scrutiny of the healthcare sector,
including issues of patient safety, cost, efficacy and
reimbursement/insurance matters; and
|
|
|
|
the cost of advertising and marketing, including
direct-to-consumer advertising on television and in print.
|
Branded
Pharmaceuticals Segment
We market a variety of branded prescription products that are
divided into the following categories:
|
|
|
|
|
neuroscience (including
Skelaxin®,

Meridian
Auto-Injector Segment
Our Meridian Auto-Injector segment consists of our auto-injector
business. An auto-injector is a pre-filled, pen-like device that
allows a patient or caregiver to automatically inject a precise
drug dosage quickly, easily, safely and reliably. Auto-injectors
are a convenient, disposable, one-time use drug delivery system
designed to improve the medical and economic value of injectable
drug therapies. We pioneered the development and are a
manufacturer of auto-injectors for the self-administration of
injectable drugs. Our auto-injector products currently consist
of a variety of acute care medicines.
The commercial pharmaceutical business of our Meridian segment
consists of
EpiPen®,
an auto-injector filled with epinephrine for the emergency
treatment of anaphylaxis resulting from severe or allergic
reactions to insect stings or bites, foods, drugs and other
allergens, as well as idiopathic or exercise-induced
anaphylaxis. We have a supply agreement with Dey, L.P., in which
we granted Dey the exclusive right to market, distribute, and
sell
EpiPen®
worldwide. The supply agreement expires December 31, 2015.
In March 2006, we acquired substantially all of the assets of
Allerex Laboratory LTD. The primary asset purchased from Allerex
was the exclusive right to market and sell
EpiPen®
throughout Canada. We also obtained from Dey, L.P., an extension
of those exclusive rights to market and sell
EpiPen®
in Canada through 2015.
Our Meridian Auto-Injector segment also includes pharmaceutical
products that are presently sold primarily to the
U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) under an
Industrial Base Maintenance Contract which is terminable by the
DoD at its convenience. These products include the nerve agent
antidotes
AtroPen®
and
ComboPen®,
and the Antidote Treatment Nerve Agent Auto-injector, which we
refer to as the ATNAA.
AtroPen®
is an atropine-filled auto-injector and
ComboPen®
consists of an atropine-filled auto-injector and a
pralidoxime-filled auto-injector. The ATNAA utilizes a dual
chambered auto-injector and injection process to administer
atropine and pralidoxime, providing an improved, more efficient
means of delivering these nerve agent antidotes. Other products
sold to the DoD include a diazepam-filled auto-injector for the
treatment of seizures and a morphine-filled auto-injector for
pain management.
8
Royalties
Segment
We have successfully developed two currently marketed
adenosine-based products,
Adenoscan®
and
Adenocard®,
for which we receive royalty revenues.
Adenoscan®
is a sterile, intravenous solution of adenosine administered
intravenously as an adjunct to imaging agents used in cardiac
stress testing of patients who are unable to exercise
adequately.
Adenocard®
is a sterile solution of adenosine administered intravenously in
emergency situations to convert certain irregular heart rhythms
to normal sinus rhythms. Specifically, we are party to an
agreement under which Astellas Pharma US, Inc.
(Astellas) manufactures and markets
Adenoscan®
and
Adenocard®
in the United States and Canada in exchange for royalties
through the duration of the patents. We have licensed exclusive
rights to other third-party pharmaceutical companies to
manufacture and market
Adenoscan®
and
Adenocard®
in certain countries other than the United States and Canada in
exchange for royalties.
Royalties received by us from sales of
Adenoscan®
and
Adenocard®
outside of the United States and Canada are shared equally with
Astellas. Astellas, on its own behalf and ours, obtained a
license to additional intellectual property rights for
intravenous adenosine in cardiac imaging and the right to use
intravenous adenosine as a cardioprotectant in combination with
thrombolytic therapy, balloon angioplasty and coronary bypass
surgery. For additional information on our royalty agreements,
please see the section below entitled Intellectual
Property.
Sales and
Marketing
Our commercial operations organization, which includes sales and
marketing, is based in Bridgewater, New Jersey. We have a sales
force consisting of over 600 employees in the United States
and Puerto Rico. We distribute our branded pharmaceutical
products primarily through wholesale pharmaceutical
distributors. These products are ordinarily dispensed to the
public through pharmacies by prescription. Our marketing and
sales promotions for branded pharmaceutical products principally
target general/family practitioners, internal medicine
physicians, neurologists, pain specialists, surgeons and
hospitals through detailing and sampling to encourage physicians
to prescribe our products. The sales force is supported by
telemarketing and direct mail, as well as through advertising in
trade publications and representation at regional and national
medical conventions. We identify and target physicians through
data available from IMS America, Ltd., a supplier of prescriber
prescription data. The marketing and distribution of these
products in foreign countries generally requires the prior
registration of the products in those countries. We generally
seek to enter into distribution agreements with companies with
established foreign marketing and distribution capabilities
since we do not have a distribution network in place for
distribution outside the United States and Puerto Rico.
Similar to other pharmaceutical companies, our principal
customers are wholesale pharmaceutical distributors. The
wholesale distributor network for pharmaceutical products has in
recent years been subject to increasing consolidation, which has
increased our, and other industry participants, customer
concentration. In addition, the number of independent drug
stores and small chains has decreased as retail consolidation
has occurred. For the year ended December 31, 2007,
approximately 75% of our gross sales were attributable to three
key wholesalers: McKesson Corporation (35%), Cardinal/Bindley
(27%), and Amerisource Bergen Corporation (13%).
Manufacturing
Our manufacturing facilities are located in Bristol, Tennessee;
Rochester, Michigan; Middleton, Wisconsin; St. Petersburg,
Florida; and St. Louis, Missouri. These facilities have
manufacturing, packaging, laboratory, office and warehouse
space. We are licensed by the Drug Enforcement Agency, which we
refer to as the DEA, a division of the Department of
Justice, to procure and produce controlled substances. We
manufacture certain of our own branded pharmaceutical products.
In 2007, we maintained an operational excellence program
utilizing Six Sigma and lean manufacturing techniques to
identify and execute cost-saving and process-improvement
initiatives.
We can produce a broad range of dosage forms, including sterile
solutions, lyophylized (freeze-dried) products, injectables,
tablets and capsules, creams and ointments, suppositories and
powders. We believe our
9
manufacturing capabilities allow us to pursue drug development
and product line extensions more efficiently. However, currently
many of our product lines, including
Skelaxin®,
Thrombin-JMI®,
Avinza®,
Sonata®
and
Synercid®
are manufactured for us by third parties. As of
December 31, 2007, we estimate capacity utilization was
approximately 35% at the Bristol facility, approximately 60% at
the Rochester facility, approximately 85% at the Middleton
facility, approximately 70% at the St. Petersburg facility and
approximately 70% at the St. Louis facility. Although the
capacity utilization at our Bristol facility will be lower in
2008 as a result of the anticipated decline in
Altace®
sales, we expect that the capacity utilization at that location
will increase in future years. We are transferring the
production of
Levoxyl®
from our St. Petersburg facility to our Bristol facility.
Following the transfer, which we expect to complete in early
2009, we will close our St. Petersburg facility. During the
fourth quarter of 2007, we sold our Rochester, Michigan sterile
manufacturing facility to JHP Pharmaceuticals, LLC. This sale
did not include our stand-alone manufacturing and production
facility for our
Bicillin®
product line, also located in Rochester, Michigan, which the FDA
approved in early 2007.
In addition to manufacturing, we have fully integrated
manufacturing support systems including quality assurance,
quality control, regulatory management and logistics. We believe
that these support systems enable us to maintain high standards
of quality for our products and simultaneously deliver reliable
goods to our customers on a timely basis.
We require a supply of quality raw materials and components to
manufacture and package drug products. Generally, we have not
had difficulty obtaining raw materials and components from
suppliers. Currently, we rely on more than 500 suppliers to
deliver the necessary raw materials and components for our
products.
Research
and Development
We are engaged in the development of chemical compounds,
including new chemical entities, which provide us with strategic
pipeline opportunities for the commercialization of new branded
prescription pharmaceutical products. In addition to developing
new chemical compounds, we pursue strategies to enhance the
value of existing products by developing new uses, formulations,
and drug delivery technology that may provide additional
benefits to patients and improvements in the quality and
efficiency of our manufacturing processes.
We invest in research and development because we believe it is
important to our long-term growth. We presently employ
approximately 100 people in research and development,
including pre-clinical and toxicology experts, pharmaceutical
formulations scientists, clinical development experts, medical
affairs personnel, regulatory affairs experts, data
scientists/statisticians and project managers.
In the context of our research and development, we outsource a
substantial amount of our non-critical activities. This provides
us with substantial flexibility and allows high efficiency while
minimizing internal fixed costs. Utilizing this approach, we
supplement our internal efforts by collaborating with
independent research organizations, including educational
institutions and research-based pharmaceutical and biotechnology
companies, and contracting with other parties to perform
research in their facilities. We use the services of physicians,
hospitals, medical schools, universities, and other research
organizations worldwide to conduct clinical trials to establish
the safety and effectiveness of new products. We seek
investments in external research and technologies that hold the
promise to complement and strengthen our own research efforts.
These investments can take many forms, including in-licensing
arrangements, development agreements, joint ventures and the
acquisition of products in development.
Drug development is time-consuming and expensive. Only a small
percentage of chemical compounds discovered by researchers prove
to be both medically effective and safe enough to become an
approved medicine. The process from discovery to regulatory
approval typically takes 10 to 15 years or longer. Drug
candidates can fail at any stage of the process, and even
late-stage product candidates sometimes fail to receive
regulatory approval.
Clinical trials are conducted in a series of sequential phases,
with each phase designed to address a specific research
question. In Phase I clinical trials, researchers test a new
drug or treatment in a small group of people to evaluate the
drugs safety, determine a safe dosage range and identify
side effects. In Phase II
10
clinical trials, researchers give the drug or treatment to a
larger population to assess effectiveness and to further
evaluate safety. In Phase III clinical trials, researchers
give the drug or treatment to an even larger population to
confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to
commonly used treatments and collect information that will allow
the drug or treatment to be used safely. The results of
Phase III clinical trials are pivotal for purposes of
obtaining FDA approval of a new product. Phase IV clinical
trials are typically conducted after FDA approval in order to
broaden the understanding of the safety and efficacy of a drug
as utilized in actual clinical practice or to explore
alternative or additional uses.
Our development projects, including those for which we have
collaboration agreements with third parties, include the
following:
|
|
|
|
|
Remoxytm,
a novel formulation of long-acting oxycodone for the treatment
of moderate to severe chronic pain, which has successfully
completed Phase III clinical trials and our partner, Pain
Therapeutics, Inc., is preparing to file an NDA with the FDA.
Remoxytm
is specifically designed to resist common methods of abuse
associated with long-acting oxycodone products that are
currently available.
|
|
|
|
CorVuetm
(binodenoson) our next generation cardiac pharmacologic
stress-imaging agent, has successfully completed Phase III
clinical trials and we are preparing to file an NDA with the FDA.
|
|
|
|
Acuroxtm
tablets, a novel formulation of immediate release
oxycodone for the treatment of acute pain, which is currently in
Phase III clinical trials.
Acuroxtm
is specifically designed to deter or resist common methods of
abuse associated with immediate release oxycodone products that
are currently available.
|
|
|
|
Vanquixtm,
a diazepam-filled auto-injector for the treatment of acute,
repetitive epileptic seizures, is currently in Phase III
clinical trials.
|
|
|
|
Sonedenoson, formerly known as MRE0094, is an investigational
drug for the topical treatment of chronic diabetic neuropathic
foot ulcers. The Phase II clinical trial with Sonedenoson did
not meet its primary endpoint. We are continuing to evaluate the
data from this trial.
|
|
|
|
T-62, an investigational drug for the treatment of neuropathic
pain, has completed Phase I clinical trials and expect to begin
patient enrollment in Phase II clinical trials in the
middle of 2008.
|
Our research and development expenses totaled
$149.4 million in 2007 compared to $143.6 million in
2006 and $74.0 million in 2005, excluding research and
development in-process at the time of acquisition of a product.
In-process research and development expenses were
$35.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007,
$110.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006
and $188.7 million for the year ended December 31,
2005. In-process research and development represents the actual
cost of acquiring rights to branded pharmaceutical projects in
development from third parties, which costs we expense at the
time of acquisition.
Government
Regulation
Our business and our products are subject to extensive and
rigorous regulation at both the federal and state levels. Nearly
all of our products are subject to pre-market approval
requirements. New drugs are approved under, and are subject to,
the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act (FDC Act) and
related regulations. Biological drugs are subject to both the
FDC Act and the Public Health Service Act, which we refer to as
the PHS Act, and related regulations. Biological
drugs are licensed under the PHS Act.
At the federal level, we are principally regulated by the FDA as
well as by the DEA, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the
Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration, and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The
FDC Act, the regulations promulgated thereunder, and other
federal and state statutes and regulations, govern, among other
things, the
11
development, testing, manufacture, safety, effectiveness,
labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, advertising and
promotion of pharmaceutical products.
The processes by which regulatory approvals are obtained from
the FDA to market and sell a new product are complex, require a
number of years and involve the expenditure of substantial
resources. Compounds or potential new products that appear
promising in development can prove unsuccessful and fail to
receive FDA approval, fail to receive approval of specific
anticipated indications, be substantially delayed, or receive
unfavorable product labeling (including indications or safety
warnings), each of which can materially affect the commercial
value of the product. Additional factors that may materially
affect the success
and/or
timing of regulatory approval of a new product, and its
commercial potential, include the regulatory filing strategies
employed, the timing of and delays in FDA review, and the
intervention by third parties in the approval process through
administrative or judicial means.
When we acquire the right to market an existing approved
pharmaceutical product, both we and the former application
holder are required to submit certain information to the FDA.
This information, if adequate, results in the transfer to us of
marketing rights to the pharmaceutical product. We are also
required to report to the FDA, and sometimes acquire prior
approval from the FDA for, certain changes in an approved NDA or
Biologics Licensing Application, as set forth in the FDAs
regulations. When advantageous, we transfer the manufacture of
acquired branded pharmaceutical products to other manufacturing
facilities, which may include manufacturing facilities we own,
after regulatory requirements are satisfied. In order to
transfer manufacturing of acquired products, the new
manufacturing facility must demonstrate, through the filing of
information with the FDA, that it can manufacture the product in
accordance with current Good Manufacturing Practices, referred
to as cGMPs, and the specifications and conditions
of the approved marketing application. There can be no assurance
that the FDA will grant necessary approvals in a timely manner,
if at all.
The FDA also mandates that drugs be manufactured, packaged and
labeled in conformity with cGMPs at all times. In complying with
cGMPs, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and
effort in production, record keeping and quality control to
ensure that the products meet applicable specifications and
other requirements to ensure product safety and efficacy.
The FDA and other government agencies periodically inspect drug
manufacturing facilities to ensure compliance with applicable
cGMP and other regulatory requirements. Failure to comply with
these statutory and regulatory requirements subjects the
manufacturer to possible legal or regulatory action, such as
suspension of manufacturing, recall of product or seizure of
product. We must report adverse experiences with the use of our
products to the FDA. The FDA could impose market restrictions on
us such as labeling changes or product removal as a result of
significant reports of unexpected, severe adverse experiences.
Product approvals may be withdrawn if we fail to comply with
regulatory requirements or if there are problems with the safety
or efficacy of the product.
The federal government has extensive enforcement powers over the
activities of pharmaceutical manufacturers, including the
authority to withdraw product approvals at any time, commence
actions to seize and prohibit the sale of unapproved or
non-complying products, halt manufacturing operations that are
not in compliance with cGMPs, and impose or seek injunctions,
voluntary or involuntary recalls, and civil monetary and
criminal penalties. A restriction or prohibition on sales or
withdrawal of approval of products marketed by us could
materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or
results of operations.
We also manufacture and sell pharmaceutical products which are
controlled substances as defined in the Controlled
Substances Act and related federal and state laws. These laws
establish certain security, licensing, record keeping, reporting
and personnel requirements administered by the DEA and state
authorities. The DEA has dual missions of law enforcement and
regulation. The former deals with the illicit aspects of the
control of abusable substances and the equipment and raw
materials used in making them. The DEA shares enforcement
authority with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, another
division of the Department of Justice. The DEAs regulatory
responsibilities are concerned with the control of licensed
manufacturers, distributors and dispensers of controlled
substances, the substances themselves and the equipment and raw
materials used in their manufacture and packaging in order to
prevent these articles from being diverted into illicit channels
12
of commerce. We maintain appropriate licenses and certificates
with the DEA and applicable state authorities in order to engage
in the development, manufacturing and distribution of
pharmaceutical products containing controlled substances.
The distribution and promotion of pharmaceutical products is
subject to the Prescription Drug Marketing Act
(PDMA), a part of the FDC Act, which regulates
distribution activities at both the federal and state levels.
Under the PDMA and its implementing regulations, states are
permitted to require registration of manufacturers and
distributors who provide pharmaceuticals even if these
manufacturers or distributors have no place of business within
the state. States are also permitted to adopt regulations
limiting the distribution of product samples to licensed
practitioners. The PDMA also imposes extensive licensing,
personnel record keeping, packaging, quantity, labeling, product
handling and facility storage and security requirements intended
to prevent the sale of pharmaceutical product samples or other
diversions of samples.
A number of states have passed laws specifically designed to
track and regulate specified activities of pharmaceutical
companies. Other states presently have pending legislation that
will have similar effects. Some of these state laws require the
tracking and reporting of advertising or marketing activities
and spending within the state. Others limit spending on items
provided to healthcare providers or state officials.
Environmental
Matters
Our operations are subject to numerous and increasingly
stringent federal, state and local environmental laws and
regulations concerning, among other things, the generation,
handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of
toxic and hazardous substances and the discharge of pollutants
into the air and water. Environmental permits and controls are
required for some of our operations and these permits are
subject to modification, renewal and revocation by the issuing
authorities. We believe that our facilities are in substantial
compliance with our permits and environmental laws and
regulations and do not believe that future compliance with
current environmental laws will have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Our environmental capital expenditures and costs for
environmental compliance were immaterial in 2007 and 2006, but
may increase in the future as a result of changes in
environmental laws and regulations or as a result of increased
manufacturing activities at any of our facilities.
Competition
General
We compete with numerous other pharmaceutical companies,
including large, global pharmaceutical companies, for the
acquisition of products and technologies in later stages of
development. We also compete with other pharmaceutical companies
for currently marketed products and product line acquisitions.
Additionally, our products are subject to competition from
products with similar qualities. Our branded pharmaceutical
products may be subject to competition from alternate therapies
during the period of patent protection and thereafter from
generic equivalents. The manufacturers of generic products
typically do not bear the related research and development costs
and consequently are able to offer such products at considerably
lower prices than the branded equivalents. There are, however, a
number of factors which enable some products to remain
profitable once patent protection has ceased. These include the
establishment of a strong brand image with the prescriber or the
consumer, supported by the development of a broader range of
alternative formulations than the manufacturers of generic
products typically supply.
Generic
Substitutes
Some of our branded pharmaceutical products currently face
competition from generic substitutes, and others may face
competition from generic substitutes in the future. For a
manufacturer to launch a generic substitute, it must prove to
the FDA that the branded pharmaceutical product and the generic
substitute are therapeutically equivalent.
The FDA requires that generic applicants claiming invalidity or
non-infringement of patents listed by a NDA holder give the NDA
holder notice each time an abbreviated new drug application
(ANDA) which
13
claims invalidity or non-infringement of listed patents is
either submitted or amended. If the NDA holder files a patent
infringement suit against the generic applicant within
45 days of receiving such notice, the FDA is barred (or
stayed) from approving the ANDA for 30 months unless
specific events occur sooner. To avoid multiple
30-month
stays for the same branded drug, the relevant provisions of the
Hatch-Waxman Act (21 U.S.C. §§ 355(j)(2) and
(5)) indicate that a
30-month
stay will only attach to patents that are listed in the
FDAs Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic
Equivalence Evaluations, which we refer to as the
FDAs Orange Book, at the time an ANDA is
originally filed. Although the ANDA filer is still required to
certify against a newly-listed patent, and the NDA holder can
still bring suit based upon infringement of that patent, such a
suit will not trigger an additional
30-month
stay of FDA approval of the ANDA.
Patents that claim a composition of matter relating to a drug or
certain methods of using a drug are required to be listed in the
FDAs Orange Book. The FDAs regulations prohibit
listing of certain types of patents. Thus, some patents that may
issue are not eligible for listing in the FDAs Orange Book
and thus not eligible for protection by a
30-month
stay of FDA approval of the ANDA.
Intellectual
Property
Patents,
Licenses and Proprietary Rights
The protection of discoveries in connection with our development
activities is critical to our business. The patent positions of
pharmaceutical companies, including ours, are uncertain and
involve legal and factual questions which can be difficult to
resolve. We seek patent protection in the United States and
selected foreign countries where and when appropriate.
Skelaxin®
has two method-of-use patents listed in the FDAs Orange
Book which expire in December 2021. In January 2008, we entered
into an agreement with CorePharma providing it with a license to
launch an authorized generic version of
Skelaxin®
in December 2012 or earlier under certain conditions.
Avinza®
has a formulation patent listed in the FDAs Orange Book
that expires in November 2017.
Sonata®
has a composition of matter patent listed in the FDAs
Orange Book that expires in June 2008. In 2007, we entered into
an agreement with CorePharma providing it with a license to
launch an authorized generic version of
Sonata®
in April 2008.
Synercid®
has a formulation patent that expires in November 2017.
We own the intellectual property rights associated with
Meridians dual-chambered auto-injector and injection
process, which include a patent in the United States that
expires in April 2010.
We receive royalties on sales of
Adenoscan®,
a product that we developed. We own one patent on
Adenoscan®
with an expiration date of May 2009. We also have certain rights
tied to another patent covering this product which does not
expire until 2015. In October 2007, we entered into an agreement
with Astellas and a subsidiary of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries
Ltd. providing Teva with the right to launch a generic version
of
Adenoscan®
pursuant to a license in September 2012 or earlier under certain
conditions.
In addition to the intellectual property for the currently
marketed products described above, we also have created,
acquired or licensed intellectual property related to various
products currently under development. For example, in connection
with our collaborative agreement with Pain Therapeutics, Inc.,
we have acquired an exclusive license (subject to preexisting
license rights granted by Pain Therapeutics) to certain
intellectual property rights related to opioid formulations,
including
Remoxytm,
which is currently in development for the treatment of moderate
to severe chronic pain. In connection with our collaborative
agreement with Acura Pharmaceuticals, Inc., we have acquired a
license to intellectual property rights related to the
Aversion®
Technology platform. Furthermore, in connection with the
development of Sonedenoson, we have acquired exclusive licenses
to composition and method patents related to adenosine receptor
agonists for the topical treatment of chronic diabetic foot
ulcers. Also, we have acquired exclusive rights to patents
related to
CorVuetm,
the pharmacologic stress agent specific to the adenosine
receptor necessary for increased cardiac blood flow. Also, we
have acquired certain intellectual property rights from Mutual
Pharmaceutical Company, Inc. related to metaxalone, the active
pharmaceutical ingredient in
Skelaxin®.
14
We also rely upon trade secrets, unpatented proprietary know-how
and continuing technological innovation to develop and sustain
our competitive position. There can be no assurance that others
will not independently develop substantially equivalent
proprietary technology and techniques or otherwise gain access
to our trade secrets or disclose the technology or that we can
adequately protect our trade secrets.
Trademarks
We sell our branded products under a variety of trademarks. We
believe that we have valid proprietary interests in all
currently used trademarks, including those for our principal
branded pharmaceutical products registered in the United States.
Backlog
There was no material backlog as of February 27, 2008.

market, and sales of these products may decline
materially.
Under the Hatch-Waxman Act, any generic pharmaceutical
manufacturer may file an ANDA with a certification, known as a
Paragraph IV certification, challenging the
validity or infringement of a patent listed in the FDAs
Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations,
which is known as the FDAs Orange Book, four
years after the pioneer company obtains approval of its NDA.
As more fully described in Note 19, Commitments and
Contingencies, in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1),
Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules, other
companies have filed Paragraph IV certifications
challenging the patents associated with some of our key
products. If any of these Paragraph IV challenges succeeds,
our affected product would face generic competition and its
sales would likely decline materially. Should sales decline, we
may have to write off a portion or all of the intangible assets
associated with the affected product as we did with
Altace®
as described below.
We may not be successful in securing or maintaining proprietary
patent protection for other of our products or for products and
technologies we develop or license. In addition, our competitors
may develop products similar to ours, including generic
products, using methods and technologies that are beyond the
scope of our intellectual property protection, which could
materially reduce our sales.
Although most of our revenue is generated by products not
currently subject to competition from generic products, there is
no proprietary protection for many of our branded pharmaceutical
products, and generic substitutes for many of these products are
sold by other pharmaceutical companies. Further, we also rely
upon trade secrets, unpatented proprietary know-how and
continuing technological innovation in order to maintain our
competitive position with respect to some products. Our sales
could be materially reduced if our competitors independently
develop equivalent proprietary technology and techniques or gain
access to our trade secrets, know-how and technology.
If we are unable to enforce our patents and trademarks or
protect our trade secrets and other intellectual property, our
results of operations and cash flows could be materially and
adversely affected.
Additionally, certain of our supply agreements and purchase
orders for raw materials contain minimum purchase commitments.
If loss of market exclusivity or other factors cause sales of
our products to fall below amounts necessary to use the raw
materials we have committed to purchase, we may incur losses in
connection with those supply agreements or purchase orders.
In
late 2007, the key patent associated with
Altace®
was invalidated by a federal court, and we expect net sales of
Altace®
to decrease significantly as a result. Our related restructuring
initiative might not succeed, and, in any event, the benefits of
the initiative will not be sufficient to offset the loss of
revenues from decreased
Altace®
sales.
In late 2007, following the Circuit Courts decision
invalidating our 722
Altace®
patent, we undertook an analysis of its potential effects on
future sales of
Altace®.
As a result of this analysis, we concluded that our
18
actual and estimated future net sales of
Altace®
are likely to decrease significantly because of competition from
generic products. We therefore reduced our estimate of future
net sales of
Altace®
and recorded charges associated with (1) minimum purchase
requirements under our supply agreement to purchase
Altace®
raw material, (2) inventories associated with
Altace®
and (3) an impairment of our
Altace®
intangible assets.
In addition, following the Circuit Courts invalidation of
our 722 patent relating to
Altace®,
we began a restructuring initiative designed to accelerate our
planned strategic shift emphasizing our focus in neuroscience,
hospital and acute care medicine. This initiative includes,
based on an analysis of our strategic needs, a reduction in
personnel, staff leverage, expense reductions and additional
controls over spending, reorganization of sales teams and a
realignment of research and development priorities. If we are
unable to complete the objectives of this initiative, our
business and results of operations may be materially adversely
affected. Moreover, the anticipated benefits of the
restructuring initiative will not be sufficient to offset the
loss of revenues from decreased product sales following the
invalidation of our
Altace®
patent. We expect this loss of revenues to be material.
The
uncertainty and expense of the drug development process, actions
by our competitors and other factors may adversely affect our
ability to implement our strategy to grow our business through
increased sales, acquisitions, development and in-licensing,
and, as a result, our business or competitive position in the
pharmaceutical industry may suffer.
Drug development is time-consuming and expensive. Only a small
percentage of chemical compounds discovered by researchers prove
to be both medically effective and safe enough to become an
approved medicine. The process from discovery to regulatory
approval typically takes 10 to 15 years or longer. Drug
candidates can fail at any stage of the process, and even
late-stage product candidates sometimes fail to receive
regulatory approval.
Clinical trials are conducted in a series of sequential phases,
with each phase designed to address a specific research
question. In Phase I clinical trials, researchers test a new
drug or treatment in a small group of people to evaluate the
drugs safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify
side effects. In Phase II clinical trials, researchers give
the drug or treatment to a larger population to assess
effectiveness and to further evaluate safety. In Phase III
clinical trials, researchers give the drug or treatment to an
even larger population to confirm its effectiveness, monitor
side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and
collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be
used safely. The results of Phase III clinical trials are
pivotal for purposes of obtaining FDA approval of a new product.
The processes by which regulatory approvals are obtained from
the FDA to market and sell a new product are complex, require a
number of years and involve the expenditure of substantial
resources. Compounds or potential new products that appear
promising in development can prove unsuccessful and fail to
receive FDA approval, fail to receive approval of specific
anticipated indications, be substantially delayed, or receive
unfavorable product labeling (including indications or safety
warnings), each of which can materially affect the commercial
value of the product. Additional factors that may materially
affect the success
and/or
timing of regulatory approval of a new product, and its
commercial potential, include the regulatory filing strategies
employed, the timing of and delays in FDA review, and the
intervention by third parties in the approval process through
administrative or judicial means. As a result, there can be no
assurance that we will receive regulatory approval of our
products in development, or of new dosage forms for existing
products, that our products or dosage forms will receive
approval for specific indications or that the labeling of these
products will be as we would prefer.
Our current strategy is to increase sales of certain of our
existing products and to enhance our competitive standing
through acquisitions or in-licensing of products, either in
development or previously approved by the FDA, that complement
our business and enable us to promote and sell new products
through existing marketing and distribution channels. Moreover,
since we engage in limited proprietary research activity with
respect to the development of new chemical entities, we rely
heavily on purchasing or licensing products in development and
FDA-approved products from other companies.
19
Development projects, including those for which we have
collaboration agreements with third parties, include the
following:
|
|
|
|
|
Remoxytm,
an investigational drug for the treatment of moderate to severe
chronic pain that we are developing with Pain Therapeutics, Inc.;
|
|
|
|
Acuroxtm
tablets, an investigational drug for the treatment of acute pain
that we are developing with Acura Pharmaceuticals, Inc.;
|
|
|
|
CorVuetm
(binodenoson) a myocardial pharmacologic stress imaging agent;
|
|
|
|
Vanquixtm,
a diazepam-filled auto-injector;
|
|
|
|
Sonedenoson, formerly known as MRE0094, an investigational drug
for the topical treatment of chronic diabetic foot
ulcers; and
|
|
|
|
T-62, an investigational drug for the treatment of neuropathic
pain.
|
We compete with other pharmaceutical companies, including large
pharmaceutical companies with financial, human and other
resources substantially greater than ours, in the development
and licensing of new products. We cannot assure you that we will
be able to:
|
|
|
|
|
engage in product life-cycle management to develop new
indications and line extensions for existing and acquired
products,
|
|
|
|
successfully develop, license or commercialize new products on a
timely basis or at all,
|
|
|
|
continue to develop products already in development in a cost
effective manner, or
|
|
|
|
obtain any FDA approvals necessary to successfully implement the
strategies described above.
|
If we are not successful in the development or licensing of new
products already in development, including obtaining any
necessary FDA approvals, our business, financial condition, and
results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Further, other companies may license or develop products or may
acquire technologies for the development of products that are
the same as or similar to the products we have in development or
that we license. Because there is rapid technological change in
the industry and because many other companies may have more
financial resources than we do, other companies may:
|
|
|
|
|
develop or license their products more rapidly than we can,
|
|
|
|
complete any applicable regulatory approval process sooner than
we can,
|
|
|
|
market or license their products before we can market or license
our products, or
|
|
|
|
offer their newly developed or licensed products at prices lower
than our prices.
|
Any of these events would thereby have a negative effect on the
sales of our existing, newly developed or licensed products. The
inability to effect acquisitions or licenses of additional
branded products in development and FDA-approved products could
limit the overall growth of our business. Furthermore, even if
we obtain rights to a pharmaceutical product or acquire a
company, we may not be able to generate sales sufficient to
create a profit or otherwise avoid a loss. Technological
developments or the FDAs approval of new products or of
new therapeutic indications for existing products may make our
existing products or those products we are licensing or
developing obsolete or may make them more difficult to market
successfully, which could have a material adverse effect on
results of operations and cash flows.
20
Seven
of our products and our royalty segment accounted for 86.4% of
our revenues from continuing operations in 2007 and a decrease
in sales of these products or royalty income or an increase in
competition in the future would have a material adverse effect
on our results of operations.
Revenues. Altace®,
Skelaxin®,
Thrombin-JMI®,
EpiPen®,
Levoxyl®,
Sonata®,
Avinza®
and royalty revenues for the last twelve months ended
December 31, 2007 accounted for 30.2%, 20.6%,
12.5%, 5.7%, 4.7%, 3.7%, 5.1%
and 3.9% of our total revenues from continuing
operations, respectively, or 86.4% in total. Accordingly,
any factor adversely affecting sales of any of these products or
products for which we receive royalty payments could have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash
flows. For example, on September 11, 2007, the Circuit
Court invalidated our 722 patent, related to
Altace®.
Invalidation of this patent has led to a generic version of
Altace®
entering the market. Additional third parties will likely enter
the market with their own generic substitutes for
Altace®
in 2008. As a result of the entry of generic competition, we
expect net sales of
Altace®
to decline significantly.
Product Competition. Additionally, since our
currently marketed products are generally established and
commonly sold, they are subject to competition from products
with similar qualities. For example:
|
|
|
|
|
Altace®
has a generic substitute that entered the market in
December 2007.
|
|
|
|
Skelaxin®
competes in a highly genericized market with other muscle
relaxants.
|
|
|
|
Sonata®
competes with other insomnia treatments in a highly competitive
market. We anticipate a generic substitute will enter the market
in the second quarter of 2008, and we expect the entry of
generic products to cause our net sales of
Sonata®
to decline significantly.
|
|
|
|
Levoxyl®
competes in a competitive and highly genericized market with
other levothyroxine sodium products.
|
|
|
|
Beginning in 2008,
Thrombin-JMI®,
our bovine thrombin product, will face new competition from
human thrombin and recombinant human thrombin. Omrix
Biopharmaceuticals, Inc.s Biologics Licensing Application
(BLA) for its human thrombin product was approved in
September 2007. Zymogenetics, Inc. received approval of its BLA
for recombinant human thrombin product in January 2008.
|
Other of our branded pharmaceutical products also face
competition from generic substitutes.
The manufacturers of generic products typically do not bear the
related research and development costs and, consequently, are
able to offer such products at considerably lower prices than
the branded equivalents. We cannot assure you that any of our
products will remain without generic competition, or maintain
their market share, gross margins and cash flows, the failure of
which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
EpiPen. Dey, L.P. markets our
EpiPen®
auto-injector through a supply agreement with us that expires on
December 31, 2015. Under the terms of the agreement, we
grant Dey the exclusive right and license to market, distribute
and sell
EpiPen®,
either directly or through subdistributors. A failure by Dey to
successfully market and distribute
EpiPen®
or an increase in competition could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
Royalty Revenue. We receive royalties on sales of
Adenoscan®,
a product that we developed.
Adenoscan®
is manufactured, marketed and distributed by Astellas. In
October 2007, we entered into an agreement with Astellas and a
subsidiary of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.
(Teva) providing Teva with the right to launch a
generic version of
Adenoscan®
pursuant to a license in September 2012, or earlier under
certain conditions. A failure by Astellas to successfully
manufacture, market and distribute
Adenoscan®
or an increase in competition could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
21
If we
cannot integrate the business of companies or products we
acquire, or appropriately and successfully manage and coordinate
third-party collaborative development activities, our business
may suffer.
The integration into our business of in-licensed or acquired
assets or businesses, as well as the coordination and
collaboration of research and development, sales and marketing
efforts with third parties, requires significant management
attention, maintenance of adequate operational, financial and
management information systems, integration of systems that we
acquire into our existing systems, and verification that the
acquired systems meet our standards for internal control over
financial reporting. Our future results will also depend in part
on our ability to hire, retain and motivate qualified employees
to manage expanded operations efficiently and in accordance with
applicable regulatory standards. If we cannot manage our
third-party collaborations and integrate in-licensed and
acquired assets successfully, or, if we do not establish and
maintain an appropriate administrative, support and control
infrastructure to support these activities, this could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows and on our ability to make
the necessary certifications with respect to our internal
controls.
We are
required annually, or on an interim basis as needed, to review
the carrying value of our intangible assets and goodwill for
impairment. If sales of our products decline because of, for
example, generic competition or an inability to manufacture or
obtain sufficient supply of product, the intangible asset value
of any declining product could become impaired.
As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately
$910.1 million of net intangible assets and goodwill.
Intangible assets primarily include the net book value of
various product rights, trademarks, patents and other intangible
rights. If a change in circumstances causes us to lower our
future sales forecast for a product, we may be required to write
off a portion of the net book value of the intangible assets
associated with that product. In evaluating goodwill for
impairment, we estimate the fair value of our individual
business reporting units on a discounted cash flow basis. In the
event the value of an individual business reporting unit
declines significantly, it could result in a non-cash impairment
charge. Any impairment of the net book value of any intangible
asset or goodwill, depending on the size, could result in a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
We
have entered into agreements with manufacturers and/or
distributors of generic pharmaceutical products with whom we are
presently engaged, or have previously been engaged, in
litigation, and these agreements could subject us to claims that
we have violated federal and/or state anti-trust
laws.
We have negotiated and entered into a number of agreements with
manufacturers
and/or
distributors of generic pharmaceutical products, some of whom
are presently engaged or have previously been engaged in
litigation with us. Governmental
and/or
private parties may allege that these arrangements and
activities in furtherance of the success of these arrangements
violate applicable state or federal anti-trust laws.
Alternatively, courts could interpret these laws in a manner
contrary to current understandings of such laws. If a court or
other governmental body were to conclude that a violation of
these laws had occurred, any liability based on such a finding
could be material and adverse and could be preceded or followed
by private litigation such as class action litigation.
For example, we have received civil investigative demands
(CIDs) for information from the U.S. Federal
Trade Commission (FTC). The CIDs require us to
provide information related to our collaboration with Arrow, the
dismissal without prejudice of our patent infringement
litigation against Cobalt under the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984 and
other information. We are cooperating with the FTC in this
investigation.
Unfavorable
results in pending and future claims and litigation matters
could have an adverse impact on us.
We are named as a party in various lawsuits, as are certain of
our current and former directors and certain of our former
officers. For information about our pending material litigation
matters, please see Note 19, Commitments and
Contingencies, in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1),
Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules. While we
intend to vigorously defend ourselves in these actions, we are
generally unable to predict the
22
outcome or reasonably estimate the range of potential loss, if
any, in the pending litigation. If we were not to prevail in the
pending litigation, we could be required to pay material sums in
connection with judgments or settlements related to these
matters, or they could otherwise have a material adverse effect
on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Any
significant delays or difficulties in the manufacture of, or
supply of materials for, our products may reduce our profit
margins and revenues, limit the sales of our products, or harm
our products reputations.
Many of our product lines, including
Skelaxin®,
Thrombin-JMI®,
Avinza®,
Sonata®
and
Synercid®,
are currently manufactured in part or entirely by third parties.
Our dependence upon third parties for the manufacture of our
products may adversely affect our profit margins or may result
in unforeseen delays or other problems beyond our control. For
example, if any of these third parties are not in compliance
with applicable regulations, the manufacture of our products
could be delayed, halted or otherwise adversely affected. If for
any reason we are unable to obtain or retain third-party
manufacturers on commercially acceptable terms, we may not be
able to distribute our products as planned. If we encounter
delays or difficulties with contract manufacturers in producing
or packaging our products, the distribution, marketing and
subsequent sales of these products could be adversely affected,
and we may have to seek alternative sources of supply or abandon
product lines or sell them on unsatisfactory terms. We might not
be able to enter into alternative supply arrangements in a
timely manner or at commercially acceptable rates, if at all. We
also cannot assure you that the manufacturers we use will be
able to provide us with sufficient quantities of our products or
that the products supplied to us will meet our specifications.
Sales
of
Thrombin-JMI®
may be affected by the perception of risks associated with some
of the raw materials used in its manufacture. If we are unable
to maintain purification procedures at our facilities that are
in accordance with the FDAs expectations for biological
products generally, the FDA could limit our ability to
manufacture biological products at those
facilities.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, our product
Thrombin-JMI®
accounted for 12.5% of our total revenues from continuing
operations. The source material for
Thrombin-JMI®
comes from bovine plasma and lung tissue which has been
certified by the United States Department of Agriculture for use
in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products. Bovine-sourced
materials, particularly those from outside the United States,
may be of some concern because of potential transmission of
bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE. However,
we have taken precautions to minimize the risks of contamination
from BSE in our source materials and process. Our principal
precaution is the use of bovine materials only from FDA-approved
sources in the United States. Accordingly, all source animals
used in our production of
Thrombin-JMI®
are of United States origin. Additionally, source animals used
in production of
Thrombin-JMI®
are generally less than 18 months of age (BSE has not been
identified in animals less than 30 months of age).
There is currently no alternative to the bovine-sourced
materials for the manufacture of
Thrombin-JMI®.
We have two approved vendors as sources of supply of the bovine
raw materials. Any interruption or delay in the supply of these
materials could adversely affect the sales of
Thrombin-JMI®.
We will continue surveillance of the source and believe that the
risk of BSE contamination in the source materials for
Thrombin-JMI®
is very low. While we believe that our procedures and those of
our vendor for the supply, testing and handling of the bovine
material comply with all federal, state, and local regulations,
we cannot eliminate the risk of contamination or injury from
these materials. There are high levels of global public concern
about BSE. Physicians could determine not to administer
Thrombin-JMI®
because of the perceived risk, which could adversely affect our
sales of the product. Any injuries resulting from BSE
contamination could expose us to extensive liability. If public
concern for the risk of BSE infection in the United States
should increase, the manufacture and sale of
Thrombin-JMI®
and our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
The FDA expects manufacturers of biological products to have
validated processes capable of removing extraneous viral
contaminants to a high level of assurance. We have developed and
implemented appropriate processing steps to achieve maximum
assurance for the removal of potential extraneous viral
contaminants
23
from
Thrombin-JMI®,
which does not include BSE because it is not a viral
contaminant, and we gained FDA approval for these processes. If
we are unable to successfully maintain these processing steps or
obtain the necessary supplies to do so in accordance with the
FDAs expectations, the manufacture and sale of
Thrombin-JMI®
and our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
Wholesaler
and distributor buying patterns and other factors may cause our
quarterly results to fluctuate, and these fluctuations may
adversely affect our short-term results. Further, our access to
wholesaler and distributor inventory levels and sales data
affects our ability to estimate certain reserves included in our
financial statements.
Our results of operations, including, in particular, product
sales revenue, may vary from quarter to quarter due to many
factors. Sales to wholesalers and distributors represent a
substantial portion of our total sales. Buying patterns of our
wholesalers and distributors may vary from time to time. In the
event wholesalers and distributors with whom we do business
determine to limit their purchases of our products, sales of our
products could be adversely affected. For example, in advance of
an anticipated price increase, customers may order
pharmaceutical products in larger than normal quantities. The
ordering of excess quantities in any quarter could cause sales
of some of our branded pharmaceutical products to be lower in
subsequent quarters than they would have been otherwise. As part
of our ongoing efforts to facilitate improved management of
wholesale inventory levels of our branded pharmaceutical
products, we have entered into inventory management and data
services agreements with each of our three key wholesale
customers and other wholesale customers. These agreements
provide wholesalers incentives to manage inventory levels and
provide timely and accurate data with respect to inventory
levels held, and valuable data regarding sales and marketplace
activity. We rely on the timeliness and accuracy of the data
that each customer provides to us on a regular basis pursuant to
these agreements. If our wholesalers fail to provide us with
timely and accurate data in accordance with the agreements, our
estimates for certain reserves included in our financial
statements could be materially and adversely affected.
Other factors that may affect quarterly results include, but are
not limited to, expenditures related to the acquisition, sale
and promotion of pharmaceutical products, a changing customer
base, the availability and cost of raw materials, interruptions
in supply by third-party manufacturers, new products introduced
by us or our competitors, the mix of products we sell, sales and
marketing expenditures, product recalls, competitive pricing
pressures and general economic and industry conditions that may
affect customer demand. We cannot assure you that we will be
successful in maintaining or improving our profitability or
avoiding losses in any future period.
Our
relationships with the U.S. Department of Defense and other
government entities subject us to risks associated with doing
business with the government.
All U.S. government contracts provide that they may be
terminated for the convenience of the government as well as for
default. Our Meridian Auto-Injector segment has pharmaceutical
products that are presently sold primarily to the
U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) under an
Industrial Base Maintenance Contract (IBMC). The
current IBMC expires in July 2008. Although we have reason to
believe the DoD will renew the IBMC based on our relationship of
many years, we cannot assure you that it will do so. In the
event the DoD does not renew the IBMC, our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows could be
materially adversely affected. Additionally, the unexpected
termination of one or more of our significant government
contracts could result in a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows. A surge capability provision allows for the coverage of
defense mobilization requirements in the event of rapid military
deployment. If this surge capability provision becomes
operative, we may be required to devote more of our Meridian
Auto-Injector segment manufacturing capacity to the production
of products for the government, which could result in less
manufacturing capacity being devoted to products in this segment
with higher profit margins.
24
Our supply contracts with the DoD are subject to post-award
audit and potential price determination. These audits may
include a review of our performance on the contract, our pricing
practices, our cost structure and our compliance with applicable
laws, regulations and standards. Any costs found to be
improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be
reimbursed, while costs already reimbursed must be refunded.
Therefore, a post-award audit or price redetermination could
result in an adjustment to our revenues. From time to time the
DoD makes claims for pricing adjustments with respect to
completed contracts. If a government audit uncovers improper or
illegal activities, we may be subject to civil and criminal
penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of
contracts, forfeitures of profits, suspension of payments, fines
and suspension or disqualification from doing business with the
government.
Other risks involved in government sales include the
unpredictability in funding for various government programs and
the risks associated with changes in procurement policies and
priorities. Reductions in defense budgets may result in
reductions in our revenues. We also provide our nerve agent
antidote auto-injectors to a number of state agencies and local
communities for homeland defense against chemical agent
terrorist attacks. Changes in governmental and agency
procurement policies and priorities may also result in a
reduction in government funding for programs involving our
auto-injectors. A loss in government funding of these programs
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Compliance
with the terms and conditions of our corporate integrity
agreement with the Office of Inspector General of the United
States Department of Health and Human Services requires
significant resources and management time and, if we fail to
comply, we could be subject to penalties or, under certain
circumstances, excluded from government health care programs,
which could materially reduce our sales.
In October 2005, as part of our settlement of the government
pricing investigation of our company we entered into a five-year
corporate integrity agreement (CIA) with the Office
of Inspector General of the United States Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS/OIG). For additional
information, please see Note 19, Commitments and
Contingencies, in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1),
Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules. The
purpose of the CIA, which applies to all of our
U.S. subsidiaries and employees, is to promote compliance
with the federal health care and procurement programs in which
we participate, including the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, the
Medicare Program, the 340B Drug Pricing Program, and the
Veterans Administration Pricing Program.
In addition to the challenges associated with complying with the
regulations applicable to each of these programs (as discussed
below), we are required, among other things, to keep in place
our current compliance program, provide specified training to
employees, retain an independent review organization to conduct
periodic audits of our Medicaid Rebate calculations and our
automated systems, processes, policies and practices related to
government pricing calculations, and to provide periodic reports
to HHS/OIG.
Maintaining the broad array of processes, policies, and
procedures necessary to comply with the CIA is expected to
continue to require a significant portion of managements
attention as well as the application of significant resources.
Failing to meet the CIA obligations could have serious
consequences for us including stipulated monetary penalties for
each instance of non-compliance. In addition, flagrant or
repeated violations of the CIA could result in our being
excluded from participating in government health care programs,
which could materially reduce our sales.
Our
shareholder rights plan, charter and bylaws discourage
unsolicited takeover proposals and could prevent shareholders
from realizing a premium on their common stock.
We have a shareholder rights plan that may have the effect of
discouraging unsolicited takeover proposals. The rights issued
under the shareholder rights plan would cause substantial
dilution to a person or group which attempts to acquire us on
terms not approved in advance by our Board of Directors. In
addition, our charter
25
and bylaws contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited
takeover proposals that shareholders may consider to be in their
best interests. These provisions include:
|
|
|
|
|
a classified Board of Directors, although the classification of
the Board is being phased out and will be eliminated in 2010;
|
|
|
|
the ability of our Board of Directors to designate the terms of
and issue new series of preferred stock;
|
|
|
|
advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our
Board of Directors; and
|
|
|
|
special voting requirements for the amendment of our charter and
bylaws.
|
We are also subject to anti-takeover provisions under Tennessee
law, each of which could delay or prevent a change of control.
Together these provisions and the rights plan may discourage
transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium
over prevailing market prices for our common stock.
At
times, our stock price has been volatile, and such volatility in
the future could result in substantial losses for our
investors.
The trading price of our common stock has at times been
volatile. The stock market in general and the market for the
securities of emerging pharmaceutical companies such as King, in
particular, have experienced extreme volatility. Many factors
contribute to this volatility, including:
|
|
|
|
|
variations in our results of operations;
|
|

ascribe a stable valuation to a shareholders holdings of
our common stock.
Risks
Related to Our Industry
Failure
to comply with laws and government regulations could adversely
affect our ability to operate our business.
Virtually all of our activities are regulated by federal and
state statutes and government agencies. The manufacturing,
processing, formulation, packaging, labeling, distribution and
advertising of our products, and
26
disposal of waste products arising from these activities, are
subject to regulation by one or more federal agencies, including
the FDA, the Drug Enforcement Agency, or DEA, the
Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Product Safety
Commission, the Department of Agriculture, the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration, and the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), as well as by foreign
governments in countries where we distribute some of our
products.
Failure to comply with the policies or requirements established
by these agencies could subject us to enforcement actions or
other consequences. For example, noncompliance with applicable
FDA policies or requirements could subject us to suspensions of
manufacturing or distribution, seizure of products, product
recalls, fines, criminal penalties, injunctions, failure to
approve pending drug product applications or withdrawal of
product marketing approvals. Similar civil or criminal penalties
could be imposed by other government agencies, such as the DEA,
the EPA or various agencies of the states and localities in
which our products are manufactured, sold or distributed, and
could have ramifications for our contracts with government
agencies such as the Department of Veterans Affairs or the
Department of Defense.
The FDA has the authority and discretion to withdraw existing
marketing approvals and to review the regulatory status of
marketed products at any time. For example, the FDA may require
withdrawal of an approved marketing application for any drug
product marketed if new information reveals questions about a
drugs safety or efficacy. All drugs must be manufactured
in conformity with current Good Manufacturing Practices and drug
products subject to an approved application must be
manufactured, processed, packaged, held and labeled in
accordance with information contained in the approved
application.
While we believe that all of our currently marketed
pharmaceutical products comply with FDA enforcement policies,
have approval pending or have received the requisite agency
approvals, our marketing is subject to challenge by the FDA at
any time. Through various enforcement mechanisms, the FDA can
ensure that noncomplying drugs are no longer marketed and that
advertising and marketing materials and campaigns are in
compliance with FDA regulations. In addition, modifications,
enhancements, or changes in manufacturing sites of approved
products are in many circumstances subject to additional FDA
approvals which may or may not be received and which may be
subject to a lengthy FDA review process. Our manufacturing
facilities and those of our third-party manufacturers are
continually subject to inspection by governmental agencies.
Manufacturing operations could be interrupted or halted in any
of those facilities if a government or regulatory authority is
unsatisfied with the results of an inspection. Any interruptions
of this type could result in materially reduced sales of our
products or increased manufacturing costs. For additional
information please see the section entitled Government
Regulation in Item 1, Business in
Part I.
Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act, CERCLA, the EPA can impose
liability for the entire cost of cleanup of contaminated
properties upon each or any of the current and former site
owners, site operators or parties who sent waste to the site,
regardless of fault or the legality of the original disposal
activity. In addition, many states, including Tennessee,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida and Missouri, have statutes and
regulatory authorities similar to CERCLA and to the EPA. We have
entered into hazardous waste hauling agreements with licensed
third parties to properly dispose of hazardous wastes. We cannot
assure you that we will not be found liable under CERCLA or
other applicable state statutes or regulations for the costs of
undertaking a cleanup at a site to which our wastes were
transported.
We cannot determine what effect changes in regulations,
enforcement positions, statutes or legal interpretations, when
and if promulgated, adopted or enacted, may have on our business
in the future. These changes could, among other things, require
modifications to our manufacturing methods or facilities,
expanded or different labeling, new approvals, the recall,
replacement or discontinuance of certain products, additional
record keeping and expanded documentation of the properties of
certain products and scientific substantiation. These changes,
new legislation, or failure to comply with existing laws and
regulations could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
An
increase in product liability claims or product recalls could
harm our business.
We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product
liability claims in the event that the use of our technologies
or products is alleged to have resulted in adverse effects.
These risks exist for products in clinical
27
development and with respect to products that have received
regulatory approval for commercial sale. While we have taken,
and will continue to take, what we believe are appropriate
precautions, we may not be able to avoid significant product
liability exposure. We currently have product liability
insurance covering all of our significant products, however, we
cannot assure you that the level or breadth of any insurance
coverage will be sufficient to cover fully all potential claims.
Also, adequate insurance coverage might not be available in the
future at acceptable costs, if at all. With respect to any
product liability claims that are not covered by insurance, we
could be responsible for any monetary damages awarded by any
court or any voluntary monetary settlements. Significant
judgments against us for product liability for which we have no
insurance could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Product recalls or product field alerts may be issued at our
discretion or at the discretion of the FDA, other government
agencies or other companies having regulatory authority for
pharmaceutical product sales. From time to time, we may recall
products for various reasons, including failure of our products
to maintain their stability through their expiration dates. Any
recall or product field alert has the potential of damaging the
reputation of the product or our reputation. To date, these
recalls have not been significant and have not had a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows. However, we cannot assure you that the
number and significance of recalls will not increase in the
future. Any significant recalls could materially affect our
sales and the prescription trends for the products and damage
the reputation of the products or our reputation. In these
cases, our business, financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
If we
fail to comply with our reporting and payment obligations under
the Medicaid rebate program or other governmental pricing
programs, we could be required to reimburse government programs
for underpayments and could be required to pay penalties,
sanctions and fines which could have a material adverse effect
on our business.
Medicaid reporting and payment obligations are highly complex
and in certain respects ambiguous. If we fail to comply with
these obligations, we could be subject to additional
reimbursements, penalties, sanctions and fines which could have
a material adverse effect on our business. Our processes for
estimating amounts due under Medicaid and other governmental
pricing programs involve subjective decisions, and, as a result,
these calculations will remain subject to the risk of errors.
The
insolvency of any of our principal customers, who are wholesale
pharmaceutical distributors, could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
As with most other pharmaceutical companies, our principal
customers are primarily wholesale pharmaceutical distributors.
The wholesale distributor network for pharmaceutical products
has in recent years been subject to increasing consolidation,
which has increased our, and other industry participants,
customer concentration. Accordingly, three key customers
accounted for approximately 75% of our gross sales and a
significant portion of our accounts receivable for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2007. The insolvency of any of our
principal customers could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
Any
reduction in reimbursement levels by managed care organizations
or other third-party payors may have an adverse effect on our
revenues.
Commercial success in producing, marketing and selling branded
prescription pharmaceutical products depends, in part, on the
availability of adequate reimbursement from third-party health
care payors, such as the government, private health insurers and
managed care organizations. Third-party payors are increasingly
challenging whether to reimburse certain pharmaceutical products
and medical services. For example, many managed health care
organizations limit reimbursement of pharmaceutical products.
These limits may take the form of formularies with differential
co-pay tiers. The resulting competition among pharmaceutical
companies to maximize their product reimbursement has generally
reduced growth in average selling prices across the industry. We
cannot assure you that our products will be appropriately
reimbursed or included on the formulary lists of managed care
organizations or any or all Medicare Part D plans, or that
downward pricing pressures in the industry generally will not
negatively impact our operations.
28
We establish accruals for the estimated amounts of rebates we
will pay to managed care and government organizations each
quarter. Any increased usage of our products through Medicaid,
Medicare, or managed care programs will increase the amount of
rebates that we owe. We cannot assure you that our products will
be included on the formulary lists of managed care or Medicare
organizations or that adverse reimbursement issues will not
result in materially lower revenues.
If we
fail to comply with the safe harbors provided under various
federal and state laws, our business could be adversely
affected.
We are subject to various federal and state laws pertaining to
health care fraud and abuse, including anti-kickback
laws and false claims laws. Anti-kickback laws make it illegal
for a prescription drug manufacturer to solicit, offer, receive,
or pay any remuneration in exchange for, or to include, the
referral of business, including the purchase or prescription of
a particular drug. The federal government has published
regulations that identify safe harbors or exemptions
for certain payment arrangements that do not violate the
anti-kickback statutes. We seek to comply with these safe
harbors. Due to the breadth of the statutory provisions and the
absence of guidance in the form of regulations or court
decisions addressing some of our practices, it is possible that
our practices might be challenged under anti-kickback or similar
laws. False claims laws prohibit anyone from knowingly (in the
civil context), or knowingly and willfully (in the criminal
context), presenting, or causing to be presented for payment to
third-party payors (including Medicaid and Medicare) claims for
reimbursed drugs or services that are false or fraudulent,
claims for items or services not provided as claimed, or claims
for medically unnecessary items or services.
Violations of fraud and abuse laws may be punishable by civil
and/or
criminal sanctions, including fines and civil monetary
penalties, as well as the possibility of exclusion from federal
health care programs, including Medicaid and Medicare. Any such
violations could have a material adverse effect on our financial
results.
In the
future, the publication of negative results of studies or
clinical trials may adversely affect the sales of our products
or the values of the intangible assets associated with
them.
From time to time studies or clinical trials on various aspects
of pharmaceutical products are conducted by academics or others,
including government agencies, the results of which, when
published, may have dramatic effects on the markets for the
pharmaceutical products that are the subject of the study, or
those of related or similar products. The publication of
negative results of studies or clinical trials related to our
products or the therapeutic areas in which our products compete
could adversely affect our sales, the prescription trends for
our products and the reputation of our products. In the event of
the publication of negative results of studies or clinical
trials related to our branded pharmaceutical products or the
therapeutic areas in which our products compete, sales of these
products may be materially adversely affected. Additionally,
potential write-offs of the intangible assets associated with
the affected products could materially adversely affect our
results of operations.
New
legislation or regulatory proposals may adversely affect our
revenues.
A number of legislative and regulatory proposals aimed at
changing the health care system, including the cost of
prescription products, importation and reimportation of
prescription products from countries outside the United States
and changes in the levels at which pharmaceutical companies are
reimbursed for sales of their products, have been proposed and
could be proposed in the future. While we cannot predict when or
whether any of these proposals will be adopted or the effect
these proposals may have on our business, these proposals, as
well as the adoption of any other proposals, may exacerbate
industry-wide pricing pressures and could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows. We are unable at this time to predict
or estimate the effect of any such regulations, if any.

Results for 2003 reflect a $15,212 reduction in the co-promotion
fees paid to our
Altace®
co-promotion partner as a result of charges for amounts due
under Medicaid and other governmental pricing programs for the
years 1998 to 2002. Specifically (a) we recovered on a
pre-tax basis $9,514 in fees we previously accrued during the
fourth quarter of 2002 and reduced the accrual for these fees by
this amount in the fourth quarter of 2003 and (b) fees
under our Co-Promotion Agreement for
Altace®
in the fourth quarter of 2003 were reduced on a pre-tax basis by
an additional $5,698 as a result of the Medicaid accrual
adjustment recorded in that quarter. |

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share
Based Payment, which requires the recognition of the fair
value of stock-based compensation in earnings. This statement
was adopted using the modified prospective application method
and therefore our prior periods have not been restated and do
not reflect the recognition of stock-based compensation costs.
During 2007 and 2006, we incurred on a pre-tax basis $27,652 and
$24,718, respectively, of compensation costs related to our
stock-based compensation arrangements. |

OVERVIEW
Our
Business
We are a vertically integrated pharmaceutical company that
performs basic research and develops, manufactures, markets and
sells branded prescription pharmaceutical products. To
capitalize on opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry, we
seek to develop, in-license, acquire or obtain commercialization
rights to novel branded prescription pharmaceutical products in
attractive markets.
Our corporate strategy is focused on specialty-driven markets,
particularly neuroscience, hospital and acute care. We believe
each of our targeted markets has significant market potential
and our organization is aligned accordingly. We work to achieve
organic growth by maximizing the potential of our currently
marketed products through sales and marketing and product
life-cycle management. We also work to achieve organic growth
through the successful development of new branded pharmaceutical
products. Additionally, we seek to achieve growth through the
acquisition or in-licensing of novel branded pharmaceutical
products in various stages of development and technologies that
have significant market potential that complement our
neuroscience, hospital and acute care medicine platforms. We may
also seek company acquisitions which add products or products in
development, technologies or sales and marketing capabilities in
our target markets or that otherwise complement our operations.
34
Utilizing our internal resources and a disciplined business
development process, we strive to be a leader and partner of
choice in developing and commercializing innovative,
clinically-differentiated therapies and technologies in our
target, specialty-driven markets.
Our business consists of five segments which include branded
pharmaceuticals, Meridian Auto-Injector, royalties, contract
manufacturing, and other. Our branded pharmaceutical products
are divided into the following categories:
|
|
|
|
|
neuroscience (including
Skelaxin®,
Avinza®
and
Sonata®),
|
|
|
|
hospital (including
Thrombin-JMI®
and
Synercid®),
|
|
|
|
acute care (including
Bicillin®
and
Intal®), and
|
|
|
|
legacy products (including
Altace®,
Levoxyl®
and
Cytomel®).
|
Our Meridian Auto-Injector segment includes
EpiPen®,
a commercial product, and nerve gas antidotes which we provide
to the U.S. Military. Our royalties segment relates to
revenues we derive from successfully developed products that we
have licensed to third parties.
Executive
Summary
During 2007, we took many steps to better position us for
long-term growth. With the unexpected early entry of generic
competition for
Altace®,
we accelerated the implementation of our planned strategic shift
to focus on specialty-driven markets where we have core
capabilities and assets. We also expanded our portfolio of
marketed products and development pipeline and advanced projects
in our development pipeline, with an emphasis in these markets.
Accelerated
Strategic Shift
Following the Circuit Courts decision in September 2007
invalidating our
Altace®
patent, we conducted an extensive examination of our company and
developed a restructuring initiative designed to accelerate a
previously planned strategic shift emphasizing our focus on
specialty-driven markets where we have core capabilities and
assets, specifically the neuroscience, hospital and acute care
markets. This initiative included a reduction in personnel,
staff leverage, expense reductions and additional controls over
spending, reorganization of sales teams and a realignment of
research and development priorities. Pursuant to this
initiative, we terminated approximately 20% of our workforce,
primarily through a reduction in our sales force. We have
incurred total costs of approximately $65.0 million
associated with this initiative. We estimate that the 2008
selling, general and administrative expense savings from these
actions will range from $75.0 million to $90.0 million.
New
Generic Competition
In December 2007, a third party launched a generic substitute
for our
Altace®
capsules. This followed the decision of the U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the Circuit
Court) in September 2007 which declared invalid
U.S. Patent No. 5,061,722 (the 722 Patent)
that covered our
Altace®
product, overruling the decision of the U.S. District Court
for the Eastern District of Virginia (the District
Court), which had upheld the validity of the patent. We
filed with the Circuit Court a petition for rehearing and
rehearing en banc, but this petition was denied in
December 2007. The Circuit Court issued the mandate to the
District Court on December 10, 2007, beginning the
180-day
Hatch-Waxman exclusive marketing period for the first generic
competitor that has entered the market. Following this
180-day
period of exclusivity, we anticipate additional competitors will
enter the market. We launched a tablet formulation of
Altace®
in February 2008.
35
Expanded
Product Portfolio and Development Pipeline
Neuroscience
On February 26, 2007, we acquired all the rights to
Avinza®
in the United States, its territories and Canada from Ligand
Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (Ligand).
Avinza®
is an extended release formulation of morphine and is indicated
as a once-daily treatment for moderate to severe pain in
patients who require continuous opioid therapy for an extended
period of time.
In October 2007, we entered into a License, Development and
Commercialization Agreement with Acura Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
(Acura) to develop and commercialize certain
immediate release opioid analgesic products utilizing
Acuras proprietary
Aversion®
(abuse-deterrent/abuse-resistant) Technology in the United
States, Canada and Mexico. The agreement provides us with an
exclusive license for
Acuroxtm
(oxycodone HCl, niacin and a unique combination of other
ingredients) tablets, and another undisclosed immediate release
opioid product utilizing Acuras
Aversion®
Technology. In addition, the agreement provides us with an
option to license all future opioid analgesic products developed
utilizing Acuras
Aversion®
Technology.
AcuroxTM
tablets are intended to effectively treat moderate to moderately
severe pain while discouraging common methods of abuse,
including intravenous injection or oral consumption of tablets
dissolved in liquids, nasal inhalation of crushed tablets and
intentional swallowing of excessive numbers of tablets.
The agreement with Acura, which provides us with a wide range of
immediate release opioids utilizing the
Aversion®
Technology platform, complements our collaborative agreement
with Pain Therapeutics, Inc. to develop and commercialize
Remoxytm
and other extended release, long-acting opioid painkillers that
are also designed to resist common methods of abuse.
Hospital
Our product
Thrombin-JMI®
is the market leading topical hemostat used to control bleeding
during surgery. To better meet the needs of our customers and in
anticipation of the recent entry of two new competitors, we
introduced new
Thrombin-JMI®
based products in 2007, broadening the range of delivery options.
In January 2007, we obtained an exclusive license to the
hemostatic products designed by Vascular Solutions, Inc. for use
outside catheterization and electrophysiology laboratories. This
license includes products which we market as
Thrombi-Padtm
(3x3 hemostatic
pad), the only
composite of
Thrombin-JMI®
and gauze pad, offering healthcare professionals in the
emergency department a convenient option to achieve active
hemostasis at bleeding sites where they would typically use
trauma dressing,
and
Thrombi-Gel®
(thrombin/gelatin foam hemostat) which provides a convenient
topical hemostat option. The license also includes a product we
expect to market as
Thrombi-Pastetm,
which is currently in development. Each of these products
includes
Thrombin-JMI®
as a component.
In June 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) approved our
Thrombin-JMI®
Epistaxis Kit, a new intranasal spray delivery device for
Thrombin-JMI®
for use to aid in stopping epistaxes (nosebleeds). The kit
offers healthcare professionals in the emergency department and
trauma center a convenient new option to achieve fast, active
hemostasis during epistaxes. We began marketing the
Thrombin-JMI®
Epistaxis Kit in the United States in the third quarter of 2007.
Beginning in 2008,
Thrombin-JMI®,
our bovine thrombin, has new competition from human thrombin and
recombinant human thrombin. Omrix Biopharmaceuticals,
Inc.s Biologics Licensing Application (BLA)
for its human thrombin product was approved in September 2007.
Zymogenetics, Inc. received approval of its BLA for recombinant
human thrombin in January 2008. The presence of competing
products in the marketplace may reduce net sales of Thrombin-JMI
materially.
36
Our
Research and Development Projects
Our current research and development pipeline includes several
products in Phase III and late Phase II clinical
trials, including immediate release and long-acting opioid
products utilizing abuse-deterrent/abuse-resistant platform
technologies pursuant to our collaborations with Pain
Therapeutics and Acura.
Remoxytm
and
CorVuetm
have completed Phase III clinical trials.
Remoxytm,
a novel formulation of extended release, long-acting oxycodone
for the treatment of moderate to severe chronic pain, is
designed to resist common methods of abuse, such as crushing,
heating, or dissolution in alcohol, that are reported with
respect to currently available formulations of long-acting
oxycodone. In December 2007, we, together with Pain
Therapeutics, announced positive results from the pivotal
Phase III clinical trial for
Remoxytm.
This trial met its primary endpoint, pain relief versus placebo,
as prospectively defined by the FDA during the Special Protocal
Assessment process. Pain Therapeutics plans to file a New Drug
Application for
Remoxytm
with the FDA in the second quarter of 2008.
CorVuetm
(binodenoson) is a pharmacologic cardiac stress imaging agent
intended to provide a reduced side effects profile compared to
the currently approved product
Adenoscan®.
We received positive results from our Phase III clinical
trials for
CorVuetm
and expect to file an NDA by early 2009.
Our products in Phase III of development include
Acuroxtm
and
Vanquixtm.
Acuroxtm
tablets are intended to effectively treat moderate to moderately
severe acute pain while deterring or resisting common methods of
prescription drug abuse, including intravenous injection or oral
consumption of tablets dissolved in liquids, nasal inhalation of
crushed tablets and intentional swallowing of excessive numbers
of tablets. In early 2007,
Acuroxtm
tablets successfully completed a Special Protocol Assessment
with the FDA. As a result, the pivotal Phase III clinical
trial with
Acuroxtm
tablets in patients with moderate to severe pain commenced in
September 2007 and we expect to report results in the second
half of 2008.
Vanquixtm
is our diazepam-filled auto-injector that is currently under
development as the only therapy of its kind for the treatment of
acute, repetitive epileptic seizures.
Our Phase II compounds include Sonedenoson, formerly
MRE-0094, an adenosine A2a receptor agonist for the topical
treatment of chronic, neuropathic, diabetic foot ulcers, and
T-62, an adenosine A1 allosteric enhancer that we are developing
for the treatment of neuropathic pain. The Phase II
clinical trial for Sonedenoson did not meet its primary
endpoint. We are continuing to evaluate the data from this
trial. We expect enrollment of patients in the Phase II
clinical trial for T-62 to begin in the middle of 2008.
Rochester,
Michigan Sterile Manufacturing Facility
In October 2007, we sold our Rochester, Michigan sterile
manufacturing facility, some of our legacy products that are
manufactured there and the related contract manufacturing
business to JHP Pharmaceuticals, LLC (JHP) for
$91.7 million, less selling costs of $5.4 million.
This transaction resulted in a loss of $46.4 million. The
companies also entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement
pursuant to which JHP will provide to us certain filling and
finishing manufacturing activities with respect to
Thrombin-JMI®.
The sale did not include our stand-alone sterile penicillin
production facility that is also located in Rochester, Michigan.

Gross sales were higher in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due
to the acquisition of
Avinza®
on February 26, 2007, price increases taken during 2007 and
an increase in gross sales of our Meridian
Auto-Injector
segment. These increases in gross sales were partially offset by
a decline in prescriptions of certain of our branded
pharmaceutical products during 2007.
Gross sales were higher in 2006 compared to 2005 primarily due
to price increases, higher unit sales as a result of the effect
of wholesale inventory reductions of some of our branded
pharmaceutical products during 2005, particularly
Altace®,
and an increase in gross sales of our Meridian Auto-Injector
segment. These increases in gross sales were partially offset by
a decline in prescriptions of certain of our branded
pharmaceutical products during 2006.
38
Medicaid rebate expense was lower in 2006 than in 2005 primarily
due to the Federal government shifting persons who were covered
by the Medicaid Program to the Medicare Part D Program.
During January 2006, the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement
and Modernization Act became effective, which provides
outpatient prescription drug coverage to senior citizens and
certain disabled citizens in the United States. We have
contracts with organizations that administer the Medicare
Part D Program, which require us to pay rebates based on
contractual pricing and actual utilization under the plans.
Initial enrollment in the Medicare Part D Program was open
through the middle of the second quarter of 2006.
As part of our ongoing efforts to facilitate improved management
of wholesale inventory levels of our branded pharmaceutical
products, we have entered into inventory management and data
services agreements with each of our three key wholesale
customers and other wholesale customers. These agreements
provide wholesalers incentives to manage inventory levels and
provide timely and accurate data with respect to inventory
levels held, and valuable data regarding sales and marketplace
activity. We rely on the timeliness and accuracy of the data
that each customer provides to us on a regular basis pursuant to
these agreements. If our wholesalers fail to provide us with
timely and accurate data in accordance with the agreements, our
estimates for certain reserves included in our financial
statements could be materially and adversely affected.
Based on inventory data provided by our key customers under the
IMAs, we believe that wholesale inventory levels of
Altace®,
Skelaxin®,
Thrombin-JMI®,
Avinza®
and
Sonata®,
as of December 31, 2007, are at or below normalized levels.
We estimate that the wholesale and retail inventories of our
products as of December 31, 2007 represent gross sales of
approximately $150.0 million to $160.0 million.
The following tables provide the activity and ending balances
for our significant deductions from gross sales.

Rebates include commercial rebates and Medicaid and Medicare
rebates.
During the third quarter of 2005, we began reporting to the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services using a refined
calculation to compute our Average Manufacturers Price
(AMP) and Best Price. In addition, during the third
quarter of 2005, we recalculated rebates due with respect to
prior quarters utilizing the refined AMP and Best Price
Calculations. As a result of this updated information, during
the third quarter of 2005, we decreased our reserve for
estimated Medicaid and other government pricing program
obligations and increased net sales from branded pharmaceutical
products by approximately $21.0 million, approximately
$8.0 million of which related to years prior to 2005. This
does not include the adjustment to sales classified as
discontinued operations. As a result of the increase in net
sales, the co-promotion expense related to net sales of
Altace®
increased by approximately $6.0 million, approximately
$4.0 million of which related to years prior to 2005. The
effect of this change in estimate on operating income was,
therefore, approximately $15.0 million, approximately
$4.0 million of which related to years prior to 2005.
During the first quarter of 2006, we paid approximately
$129.3 million related to (i) the settlement
agreements with the Office of Inspector General of the United
States Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS/OIG) and the Department of Veterans Affairs, to
resolve the governmental investigations related to our
underpayment of rebates owed to Medicaid and other governmental
pricing programs during the period from 1994 to 2002 and
(ii) similar state settlement agreements. For a discussion
regarding this settlement, please see Settlement of
Governmental Pricing Investigation included in
Note 19, Commitments
39
and Contingencies, in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1),
Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules. Of the
$129.3 million paid in the first quarter of 2006,
approximately $64.0 million reduced the rebate accrual and
is reflected in Rebates paid in the table above.
In addition, during the first quarter of 2006, we delayed our
regular periodic Medicaid rebate payments as a result of prior
overpayments. During the second quarter of 2006, we began
reducing our payments for Medicaid rebates to utilize
overpayments made to the government related to Medicaid during
the government pricing investigation in 2003, 2004 and 2005.
During the period of the investigation, we made actual Medicaid
payments in excess of estimated expense to avoid any
underpayments to the government. As a result of refining the AMP
and Best Price calculations in the third quarter of 2005, we
discontinued the practice of making payments in excess of the
amounts expensed. We expect to recover the remaining
overpayments to the government and will continue to reduce cash
payments in the future until this overpayment is fully
recovered. For a discussion regarding this investigation, please
see Note 19, Commitments and Contingencies, in
Part IV, Item 15(a)(1), Exhibits and Financial
Statement Schedules. In 2007 and 2006, the utilization of
overpayments reduced our rebate payments by approximately
$6.5 million and $25.0 million, respectively. The
utilization of the overpayment has therefore reduced
Rebates paid in the table above.
During the third quarter of 2006, we reduced our Medicaid rebate
expense and increased net sales from branded pharmaceutical
products by approximately $9.3 million due to the
determination that a liability established in 2005 for a
government pricing program for military dependents and retirees
was no longer probable.

Our calculation for returns reserves is based on historical
sales and return rates over the period during which customers
have a right of return. We also consider current wholesale and
retail inventory levels of our products. Based on data received
from our inventory management agreements with our three key
wholesale customers, there was a significant reduction of
wholesale inventory levels of our products during the first
quarter of 2005. This reduction resulted in a change in estimate
during the first quarter of 2005 that decreased the reserve for
returns by approximately $20.0 million and increased net
sales from branded pharmaceuticals, excluding the adjustment to
sales classified as discontinued operations, by the same amount.
During the second quarter of 2005, we decreased our reserve for
returns by approximately $5.0 million and increased our net
sales from branded pharmaceuticals, excluding the adjustment for
sales classified as discontinued operations, by the same amount
as a result of an additional reduction in wholesale inventory
levels of our branded products. These adjustments are reflected
in the table above as a reduction in the current provision.
During the third quarter of 2005, our actual returns of branded
pharmaceutical products continued to decrease significantly
compared to actual returns during the quarterly periods in 2004
and the first quarter of 2005. Additionally, based on data
received pursuant to our inventory management agreements with
key wholesale customers, we continued to experience normalized
wholesale inventory levels of our branded pharmaceutical
products during the third quarter of 2005. Accordingly, we
believed that the rate of returns experienced during the second
and third quarters of 2005 was more indicative of what we
expected in future quarters and adjusted our returns reserve
accordingly. This change in estimate resulted in a decrease of
approximately $15.0 million in the returns reserve in the
third quarter of 2005 and a corresponding increase in net sales
from branded pharmaceutical products. As a result of this
increase in net sales, the co-promotion expense related to net
sales of
Altace®
increased by approximately $5.0 million. The effect of the
change in estimate on operating income was, therefore,
approximately $10.0 million.
40
Because actual returns related to sales in prior periods were
lower than our original estimates, we recorded a decrease in our
reserve for returns in each of the first quarter of 2007 and the
first quarter of 2006. During the first quarter of 2007, we
decreased our reserve for returns by approximately
$8.0 million and increased our net sales from branded
pharmaceuticals, excluding the adjustment to sales classified as
discontinued operations, by the same amount. The effect of the
change in estimate on first quarter 2007 operating income was an
increase of approximately $5.0 million. During the first
quarter of 2006, we decreased our reserve for returns by
approximately $8.0 million and increased our net sales from
branded pharmaceuticals, excluding the adjustment to sales
classified as discontinued operations, by the same amount. The
effect of the change in estimate on first quarter 2006 operating
income was an increase of approximately $6.0 million. The
Accrual for Returns table above reflects these
adjustments as a reduction in the current provision.

Net sales from branded pharmaceutical products were higher in
2007 than in 2006 primarily due to the acquisition of
Avinza®
on February 26, 2007 and price increases taken on various
products. These increases in net sales were partially offset by
a decline in prescriptions of certain of our branded
pharmaceutical products during 2007. We expect net sales from
branded pharmaceutical products in 2008 will be significantly
lower than that experienced in 2007 primarily due to lower net
sales of
Altace®
for the reason discussed below.
Net sales from branded pharmaceutical products were higher in
2006 compared to 2005 primarily due to higher unit sales in 2006
as a result of the effects of wholesale inventory reductions in
2005 and price
41
increases taken in the fourth quarter of 2005, partially offset
by a decrease in prescriptions in 2006 from 2005. In addition,
net sales during 2005 reflect a reduction in reserves for
returns and rebates as discussed above.
For a discussion regarding the potential risk of generic
competition for
Skelaxin®
and
Avinza®,
please see Note 19 Commitments and
Contingencies in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1),
Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
Sales
of Key Products
Altace®
Net sales of
Altace®
decreased in 2007 from 2006 primarily due to decreases in
prescriptions, partially offset by price increases taken in the
fourth quarter of 2006 and the third quarter and fourth quarters
of 2007. Total prescriptions for
Altace®
decreased approximately 7.1% in 2007 compared to the same period
of the prior year according to IMS America, Ltd.
(IMS) monthly prescription data.
In December 2007, a third party entered the market with a
generic substitute for
Altace®
capsules. Additional third parties will likely enter the market
with their own generic substitutes for
Altace®
capsules in 2008. As a result of the entry of generic
competition, we expect net sales of
Altace®
will decline significantly during 2008. We launched a tablet
formulation of
Altace®
in February 2008. For a discussion regarding the generic
competition for
Altace®,
please see Note 19, Commitments and
Contingencies in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1),
Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
Net sales of
Altace®
were higher in 2006 than in 2005 primarily due to higher unit
sales in 2006 as a result of the effects of wholesale inventory
reductions of
Altace®
in 2005 and a price increase taken in the fourth quarter of 2005
partially offset by a decrease in prescriptions in 2006 compared
to 2005. In addition, net sales during 2005 reflect a reduction
in reserves for returns and rebates as discussed above. Total
prescriptions for
Altace®
decreased approximately 2.2% in 2006 from 2005 according to IMS
monthly prescription data.
Skelaxin®
Net sales of
Skelaxin®
increased in 2007 from 2006 primarily due to a price increase
taken in the fourth quarter of 2006. During 2006, net sales of
Skelaxin®
benefited from a reduction in the rebate reserve for a
government pricing program for military dependents and retirees.
During 2007, net sales of
Skelaxin®
benefited from a favorable change in estimate in the products
reserve for returns as discussed above. Total prescriptions for
Skelaxin®
decreased approximately 1.6% in 2007 compared to 2006, according
to IMS monthly prescription data. We do not anticipate that net
sales of
Skelaxin®
in 2008 will increase at the same rate experienced in 2007.
Net sales of
Skelaxin®
increased in 2006 from 2005 primarily due to a price increase
taken in the fourth quarter of 2005, higher unit sales in 2006
as a result of the effect of wholesale inventory reductions of
Skelaxin®
in 2005 and a reduction in government rebates partially offset
by a decline in prescriptions in 2006 compared to 2005. In
addition, net sales during 2005 reflect a reduction in reserves
for returns and rebates as discussed above. Total prescriptions
for
Skelaxin®
decreased approximately 2.1% in 2006 from 2005 according to IMS
monthly prescription data.
For a discussion regarding the risk of potential generic
competition for
Skelaxin®,
please see Note 19 Commitments and
Contingencies in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1),
Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
Thrombin-JMI®
Net sales of
Thrombin-JMI®
increased in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to a price
increase taken in the fourth quarter of 2006. A competing
product entered the market in the fourth quarter of 2007 and
another entered the market in the first quarter of 2008. It is
likely that net sales of
Thrombin-JMI®
will decrease as a result of the entry of these competing
products.
42
Net sales of
Thrombin-JMI®
increased in 2006 compared to 2005 primarily due to increases in
wholesale inventory levels, a price increase taken in the second
half of 2005 and an increase in demand by end users, partially
offset by an increase in chargebacks during 2006 compared to
2005.
Avinza®
We acquired all rights to
Avinza®
in the United States, its territories and Canada on
February 26, 2007. Net sales of
Avinza®
in 2007 reflect sales occurring from February 26, 2007
through December 31, 2007. Total prescriptions for
Avinza®
decreased approximately 16.4% in 2007 compared to 2006 according
to IMS monthly prescription data. Due to an increase in
promotion of
Avinza®,
we do not believe prescriptions in 2008 for this product will
decline from the level of prescriptions experienced in the
fourth quarter of 2007 and we believe they may increase slightly.
For a discussion regarding the risk of potential generic
competition for
Avinza®,
please see Note 19, Commitments and
Contingencies in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1),
Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
Levoxyl®
Net sales of
Levoxyl®
decreased in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to a decrease
in prescriptions in 2007 as a result of generic competition
partially offset by the effect of an increase in wholesale
inventory levels during 2007. During 2006, net sales of
Levoxyl®
benefited from a favorable change in estimate of approximately
$7.0 million in the products reserve for Medicaid
rebates as a result of the government pricing investigation
settlement, partially offset by a decrease in wholesale
inventory levels. This benefit was substantially offset by
increases in Medicaid rebate reserves for other products as a
result of the settlement. Total prescriptions for
Levoxyl®
were approximately 12.4% lower in 2007 compared to 2006
according to IMS monthly prescription
data.
Net sales of
Levoxyl®
decreased in 2006 compared to 2005 primarily due to a decrease
in prescriptions in 2006, partially offset by price increases
taken in the fourth quarter of 2005 and changes in wholesale
inventory levels. During 2005, net sales of
Levoxyl®
benefited from the reduction in the reserve for returns
described above and a reduction in the reserve for rebates. As
noted above, 2006 net sales of
Levoxyl®
benefited from a favorable change in estimate related to
Medicaid rebates. Total prescriptions for
Levoxyl®
were approximately 16.0% lower in 2006 than in 2005 according to
IMS monthly prescription data.
Sonata®
Net sales of
Sonata®
were lower in 2007 than in 2006 primarily due to a decrease in
prescriptions partially offset by a price increase taken in the
fourth quarter of 2006. Total prescriptions for
Sonata®
decreased approximately 20.4% compared to 2006 according to IMS
monthly prescription data. The decrease in prescriptions during
2007 was primarily due to new competitors that entered the
market in 2005 and a decrease in our promotional efforts. We
believe net sales of
Sonata®
will decline significantly in future periods due to the
anticipated market entry of a generic substitute in the second
quarter of 2008.
Net sales of
Sonata®
were higher in 2006 than in 2005 primarily due to higher unit
sales as a result of wholesale inventory reductions of
Sonata®
in 2005 and price increases taken in the fourth quarter of 2005
and the third quarter of 2006, partially offset by a decrease in
prescriptions during 2006 compared to 2005. Total prescriptions
for
Sonata®
decreased approximately 19.6% in 2006 from 2005 according to IMS
monthly prescription data. The decrease in prescriptions during
2006 was primarily due to new competitors that entered the
market in 2005.
Other
Net sales of other branded pharmaceutical products were higher
in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to an increase in net
sales of
Bicillin®
and price increases which were partially offset by decreases in
prescriptions. We completed construction of facilities to
produce
Bicillin®
at our Rochester, Michigan location, began commercial production
in the fourth quarter of 2006, and replenished wholesale
inventories of the
43
product during the first quarter of 2007. Our other branded
pharmaceutical products are not promoted through our sales force
and prescriptions for many of these products are declining. We
completed the sale of several of our other branded
pharmaceutical products to JHP Pharmaceuticals LLC on
October 1, 2007. Considering all of these factors, we
anticipate net sales of other branded pharmaceutical products
will significantly decrease in 2008.
Net sales of other branded pharmaceutical products were higher
in 2006 compared to 2005 primarily due to the effects of
wholesale inventory reductions in 2005 and price increases which
were partially offset by decreases in prescriptions.
Cost
of Revenues
Cost of revenues from branded pharmaceutical products increased
in 2007 from 2006 primarily due to an increase in royalties
associated with
Skelaxin®
and
Avinza®
and the effects of special items in 2007 associated with
Altace®
as discussed below.
Cost of revenues from branded pharmaceutical products increased
in 2006 from 2005 primarily due to an increase in royalties
associated with
Skelaxin®,
the cost of revenues associated with higher unit sales of
branded pharmaceutical products in 2006 compared to 2005, and
differences in special items which benefited 2005 compared to
2006 as discussed below.
Special items are those particular material income or expense
items that our management believes are not related to our
ongoing, underlying business, are not recurring, or are not
generally predictable. These items include, but are not limited
to, merger and restructuring expenses; non-capitalized expenses
associated with acquisitions, such as in-process research and
development charges and inventory valuation adjustment charges;
charges resulting from the early extinguishments of debt; asset
impairment charges; expenses of drug recalls; and gains and
losses resulting from the divestiture of assets. We believe the
identification of special items enhances an analysis of our
ongoing, underlying business and an analysis of our financial
results when comparing those results to that of a previous or
subsequent like period. However, it should be noted that the
determination of whether to classify an item as a special item
involves judgments by us.
Special items affecting cost of revenues from branded
pharmaceuticals during 2007, 2006 and 2005 included the
following:
|
|
|
|
|
An inventory valuation allowance that resulted in a charge of
$78.8 million for inventories associated with
Altace®
in 2007. For additional information please see Note 8,
Inventory, in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1),
Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
|
|
|
|
A charge of $25.4 million primarily associated with minimum
purchase requirements under a supply agreement to purchase raw
material inventory associated with
Altace®
in 2007. For additional information please see Note 8,
Inventory, in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1),
Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
|
|
|
|
A contract termination that resulted in a charge of
$3.8 million in 2007.
|
|
|
|
A benefit of approximately $6.1 million resulting from the
termination of purchase commitments for some of our smaller
products which reduced our cost of revenues from branded
pharmaceutical products in 2005.
|
|
|
|
Product returned as a result of a
Levoxyl®
voluntary recall was less than originally estimated.
Accordingly, cost of revenues from branded pharmaceutical
products in 2005 was reduced by approximately $2.5 million.
|
We anticipate cost of revenues will decrease in 2008 compared to
2007 due to the launch of a generic substitute for
Altace®
in December 2007 by a third party.

Revenues from our Meridian Auto-Injector segment increased in
2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to increases in unit sales
of
Epipen®
to Dey, L.P., an increase in revenues derived from our
acquisition of the rights to market and sell
Epipen®
in Canada that we purchased from Allerex Laboratory LTD in March
2006 and a price increase taken in the first quarter of 2007.
Most of our
Epipen®
sales are based on our supply agreement with Dey, L.P., which
markets, distributes and sells the product worldwide, except for
Canada where it is marketed, distributed and sold by us.
Revenues from the Meridian Auto-Injector segment fluctuate based
on the buying patterns of Dey, L.P. and government customers.
Demand for
Epipen®
is seasonal as a result of its use in the emergency treatment of
allergic reactions to insect stings or bites, more of which
occur in the warmer months. With respect to auto-injector
products sold to government entities, demand for these products
is affected by the cyclical nature of procurements as well as
response to domestic and international events. Total
prescriptions for
Epipen®
in the United States increased approximately 9.5% during 2007
compared to 2006 according to IMS monthly prescription data. We
do not believe revenues from the Meridian Auto-Injector segment
will increase at the rate experienced in 2007.
Revenues from the Meridian Auto-Injector segment increased in
2006 compared to 2005 primarily due to increases in unit sales
of
Epipen®
to Dey, L.P., as well as revenues derived from our acquisition
of the rights to market and sell
Epipen®
in Canada that we purchased from Allerex Laboratory LTD in March
2006. Total prescriptions for
Epipen®
in the United States increased approximately 3.6% in 2006
compared to 2005 according to IMS monthly prescription data.
Cost of revenues from the Meridian Auto-Injector segment
increased in 2007 compared to 2006 and in 2006 compared to 2005
primarily due to higher unit sales.

Revenues from royalties are derived primarily from payments we
receive based on sales of
Adenoscan®.
We are not responsible for the marketing of this product and,
thus, are not able to predict whether revenue from royalties
will increase or decrease in future periods. Additional branded
competition may enter the market in 2008.

Revenues and cost of revenues from contract manufacturing
decreased in 2007 compared to 2006 due to a lower volume of
units manufactured for third parties. As discussed above, we
completed the sale of substantially all of our contract
manufacturing business to JHP on October 1, 2007.
Therefore, we anticipate a significant decrease in contract
manufacturing revenue in 2008.
Revenues from contract manufacturing decreased in 2006 compared
to 2005 due to a lower volume of units manufactured for third
parties.
Cost of revenues associated with contract manufacturing
decreased in 2007 compared to 2006 and in 2006 compared to 2005
primarily due to decreased unit production of products we
manufacture for third parties.

As a percentage of total revenues, total selling, general, and
administrative expenses were 32.3% during 2007 and 35.9% in 2006
and 2005.
Total selling, general and administrative expenses decreased in
2007 compared to 2006, primarily due to a decrease in
co-promotion fees we pay to Wyeth under our co-promotion
agreement, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses
associated with sales and marketing. The increases in sales and
marketing expenses are driven by an increase in the size of our
sales force and marketing costs primarily associated with
Altace®
and
Avinza®.
For the full year 2008, we expect selling, general and
administrative expenses, exclusive of co-promotion fees, to
decline by approximately $75.0 million to
$90.0 million compared to full year 2007 as a result of the
accelerated strategic shift discussed above. The co-promotion
fee decreased in 2007 compared to 2006 due to a lower
co-promotion fee average rate during 2007 as a result of the
Amended Co-Promotion Agreement. For additional discussion
regarding the Amended Co-Promotion Agreement, please see
General within the Liquidity and Capital
Resources section below. For a discussion regarding net
sales of
Altace®,
please see the section entitled
Altace®
within the Sales of Key Products section above.
Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased in
2006 compared to 2005 primarily due to an increase in special
items, stock-based compensation costs and an increase in
operating expenses associated with sales and marketing. While
Altace®
net sales were higher in 2006 compared to 2005, the co-promotion
fee remained consistent due to a lower co-promotion fee average
rate during 2006 as a result of the Amended Co-Promotion
Agreement.
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified
prospective application transition method. Our prior period
condensed consolidated financial statements have not been
restated and therefore do not reflect the recognition of
stock-based compensation costs. During 2007, we incurred
stock-based compensation costs of $27.7 million,
$19.8 million of which is included in selling, general and
administrative expenses. During 2006, we incurred stock-based
compensation costs of $21.1 million, $15.4 million of
which is included in selling, general and administrative
expenses.
In addition to the stock-based compensation costs discussed
above, we recorded a charge of $3.6 million in the third
quarter of 2006 to correct immaterial understatements of
compensation expense identified in our voluntary review of our
practices with respect to granting equity-based compensation.
For additional information, please see Note 21,
Stock-Based Compensation, in Part IV,
Item 15(a)(1), Exhibits and Financial Statement
Schedules.
Selling, general and administrative expense includes the
following special items:
|
|
|
|
|
Charges of $2.1 million, $0.1 million, and
$19.8 million during 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively,
primarily due to professional fees related to the now-completed
investigation of our company by the HHS/OIG, and the SEC, and
on-going private plaintiff securities litigation. During
2007 and 2006, we
|
47
|
|
|
|
|
received payment from our insurance carriers for the recovery of
legal fees in the amount of $3.4 million and
$6.8 million, respectively, related to the securities
litigation. These recoveries have been reflected as reductions
of professional fees in 2007 and 2006. For additional
information, please see Note 19, Commitments and
Contingencies, in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1),
Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A charge of $45.1 million during 2006 related to the
results of a binding arbitration proceeding with Elan
Corporation, plc regarding an agreement concerning the
development of a modified release formulation of
Sonata®.
During 2004, we incurred a charge of $5.0 million as
estimated settlement costs related to the termination of this
agreement. For additional information please see Note 13,
Accrued Expenses, in Part IV,

Research and development represents expenses associated with the
ongoing development of investigational drugs and product
life-cycle management projects in our research and development
pipeline. These expenses have continued to increase over time as
our development programs have progressed to later stages of
clinical development, which later stages are much more expensive
than earlier stages, and as we have continued to add late-stage
products in development to our portfolio. Our business model
continues to focus on adding to our research and development
pipeline through the acquisition of novel branded pharmaceutical
products and technologies in later stages of development.
Research and development in-process upon acquisition
represents the actual cost of acquiring rights to novel branded
pharmaceutical projects in development from third parties, which
costs we expense at the time of acquisition. We classify these
costs as special items, and in 2007, 2006, and 2005 special
items included the following:
|
|
|
|
|
A charge equaling $32.0 million during 2007 associated with
our collaborative agreement with Acura Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
(Acura) to develop and commercialize certain
immediate release opioid analgesic products utilizing
Acuras proprietary
Aversion®
(abuse-deterrent/abuse-resistant) Technology in the United
States, Canada and Mexico. The agreement provides us with an
exclusive license for
Acuroxtm
(oxycodone HCl, niacin and a unique combination of other
ingredients) tablets and another undisclosed immediate release
opioid product utilizing Acuras
Aversion®
Technology. In addition, the agreement provides us with an
option to license all future opioid analgesic products developed
utilizing Acuras
Aversion®
Technology.
Acuroxtm
tablets are intended to effectively treat moderate to moderately
severe acute pain while resisting or deterring common methods of
abuse, including intravenous injection or oral consumption of
tablets dissolved in liquids, nasal inhalation of crushed
tablets and intentional swallowing of excessive numbers of
tablets.
|
|
|
|
In connection with the agreement with Acura, we recognized the
above payments of $32.0 million as in-process research and
development expense during 2007. This amount was expensed as the
in-process research and development project had not received
regulatory approval and had no alternative future use. The
in-process research and development project is part of the
branded pharmaceutical segment.
Acuroxtm
is currently in Phase III of clinical development. We believe
there is a reasonable probability
|
48
|
|
|
|
|
of completing the project successfully. However, the success of
the project depends on the outcome of the Phase III clinical
trial program and approval by the FDA. The estimated cost to
complete the project at the execution of the agreement was
approximately $9.0 million. If the Phase III clinical
trials are successful, we would expect to obtain FDA approval in
2009 or 2010.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A charge equaling $3.1 million during 2007 for a payment to
Mutual Pharmaceutical Company (Mutual) to jointly
research and develop one or more improved formulations of
metaxalone. Under the agreement with Mutual, we sought
Mutuals expertise in developing improved formulations of
metaxalone, including improved formulations Mutual developed
prior to execution of this agreement and access to Mutuals
and United Research Laboratories rights in intellectual
property pertaining to these formulations. Development
activities under this agreement ceased in December 2007.
|
|
|
|
A charge equaling $110.0 million during 2006 for our
acquisition of in-process research and development associated
with our collaboration with Arrow to commercialize one or more
novel formulations of ramipril, the active ingredient in our
Altace®
product. Under a series of agreements, Arrow has granted us
rights to certain current and future NDAs regarding novel
formulations of ramipril and intellectual property, including
patent rights and technology licenses relating to these novel
formulations. Arrow will have responsibility for the manufacture
and supply of new formulations of ramipril for us. However,
under certain conditions, we may manufacture and supply the
formulations of ramipril instead of Arrow. Arrow will earn fees
for the manufacture and supply of the new formulations of
ramipril. Arrow filed an NDA for a tablet formulation of
ramipril in January 2006 (the Ramipril
Application). At the time of our acquisition of this
project, its success was dependent on additional development
activities and FDA approval. The estimated cost to complete the
project at the execution of these agreements was approximately
$3.5 million. The FDA approved the NDA on February 27,
2007. Arrow granted us an exclusive option to acquire their
entire right, title and interest to the Ramipril Application or
any future filed Amended Ramipril Application for the amount of
$5.0 million. In April 2007, we exercised our option and
paid $5.0 million to Arrow. As a result, we own the entire
right, title and interest in the Ramipril Application. We
launched the tablet formulation in February 2008.
|
|
|
|
A charge equaling $153.7 million during 2005 for our
acquisition of in-process research and development associated
with our strategic alliance with Pain Therapeutics to develop
and commercialize
Remoxytm
and other opioid painkillers that resist common methods of
abuse.
Remoxytm
is an investigational drug in late-stage clinical development by
Pain Therapeutics for the treatment of moderate to severe
chronic pain. We are responsible for all research and
development expenses related to this alliance. The value of the
in-process research and development project was expensed on the
date of acquisition as it had not received regulatory approval
and had no alternative future use.
Remoxytm
has successfully completed Phase III of clinical
development and Pain Therapeutics expects to file the NDA in the
second quarter of 2008. We currently anticipate obtaining FDA
approval in 2009. We believe there is a reasonable probability
of completing the project successfully. However, the success of
the project depends on regulatory approval and our ability to
successfully manufacture the product.
|
|
|
|
A charge of $35.0 million during 2005 for our acquisition
of in-process research and development due to our co-exclusive
license agreement with Mutual Pharmaceutical Company whereby we
obtained a license to certain intellectual property relating to
metaxalone. The intellectual property licensed to us relates to
the potential for improved dosing and administration of
metaxalone. The value of the in-process research and development
project was expensed on the date of acquisition as it had not
received regulatory approval and had no alternative future use.
|
Depreciation
and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased in 2007 compared
to 2006 primarily due to increased amortization expense related
to
Avinza®
and
Altace®
partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization
expense associated with the sale of the Rochester, Michigan
sterile manufacturing facility. On February 26, 2007, we
completed our acquisition of
Avinza®
and began amortizing the associated intangible assets as of that
date. During 2007, following the Circuit Courts decision
invalidating our
Altace®
patent as
49
discussed above, we decreased the estimated useful life of our
Altace®
intangible assets. On June 30, 2007, the assets associated
with the sale of the Rochester, Michigan sterile manufacturing
facility were classified as held for sale, and accordingly the
depreciation and amortization was discontinued as of that date.
For additional information relating to the acquisition of
Avinza®
and the sale of the Rochester, Michigan facility please see
Note 10, Acquisitions, Dispositions, Co-Promotions
and Alliances, in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1),
Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules. For
additional information relating to the
Altace®
intangible assets please see Note 11, Intangible
Assets and Goodwill, in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1),
Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
Depreciation and amortization expense in 2007 includes a special
item consisting of a $7.0 million charge associated with
accelerated depreciation on certain assets, including those
associated with our decision to transfer the production of
Levoxyl®
from our St. Petersburg, Florida facility to our Bristol,
Tennessee facility, which we expect to complete in early 2009.
Depreciation and amortization expense in 2006 includes a charge
of $3.0 million associated with accelerated depreciation of
these assets.
We expect depreciation and amortization expense to decrease in
2008. For additional information relating to 2008 amortization
expense please see Note 11, Intangible Assets and
Goodwill, in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1),
Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
Other
Operating Expenses
In addition to the special items described above, we incurred
other special items affecting operating costs and expenses
resulting in a net charge totaling $293.2 million in 2007
compared to a net charge totaling $51.0 million during 2006
and $223.6 million during 2005. These other special items
included the following:
|
|
|
|
|
An intangible asset impairment charge of $146.4 million in
2007 related to our
Altace®
product as a result of the invalidation of the 722 patent
which covered the
Altace®
product. Following the Circuit Courts decision, we reduced
the estimated useful life of this product and forecasted net
sales. This decrease in estimated remaining useful life and
forecasted net sales reduced the probability-weighted estimated
undiscounted future cash flows associated with
Altace®
intangible assets to a level below their carrying value. We
determined the fair value of these assets based on
probability-weighted estimated discounted future cash flows.
|
|
|
|
A charge of $46.4 million in 2007 related to the write-down
of our Rochester, Michigan sterile manufacturing facility and
certain legacy branded pharmaceutical products which we
classified as held for sale. On October 1, 2007, we closed
the asset purchase agreement with JHP, pursuant to which JHP
acquired our Rochester, Michigan sterile manufacturing facility,
some of our legacy products that are manufactured there and the
related contract manufacturing business. For additional
information, please see Note 11, Intangible Assets
and Goodwill, in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1),
Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
|
|
|
|
Intangible asset impairment charges of $30.2 million in
2007 primarily related to our decision to no longer pursue the
development of a new formulation of
Intal®
utilizing hydroflouroalkane as a propellant. An intangible asset
impairment charge in 2006 of $47.8 million, which is
primarily related to lower than expected prescription growth for
Intal®
and
Tilade®.
An intangible asset impairment charge in 2005 of
$221.1 million, which primarily related to a greater than
expected decline in prescriptions for
Sonata®
and an anticipated decline in prescriptions for
Corzide®.
These charges were recorded in order to adjust the carrying
value of the intangible assets on our balance sheet associated
with these products so as to reflect the estimated fair value of
these assets at the time the charges were incurred.
|
|
|
|
Restructuring charges in the amount of $68.6 million in
2007 primarily due to our restructuring initiative designed to
accelerate a planned strategic shift emphasizing our focus in
neuroscience, hospital and acute care medicine and separation
payments associated with the sale of the Rochester, Michigan
sterile manufacturing facility discussed above. Restructuring
charges of $1.3 million and $3.2 million during 2007
and 2006, respectively for separation payments that primarily
arose in
|
50
|
|
|
|
|
connection with our decision to transfer the production of
Levoxyl®
from our St. Petersburg, Florida facility to the Bristol,
Tennessee facility. Restructuring charges of $0.3 million
in 2007 and $2.3 million in 2005 due to a decision to
reduce our workforce in order to improve efficiencies in our
operations. Restructuring charges of $1.9 million in 2005
primarily as a result of separation agreements with several of
our executives, the relocation of our sales and marketing
operations from Bristol, Tennessee to New Jersey and our
decision to discontinue some relatively insignificant products
associated with our Meridian Auto-Injector business.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Income of $1.7 million in 2005 primarily due to a gain on
the termination of our co-promotion and license agreements with
Novavax, Inc. regarding
Estrasorbtm
and the repurchase by Novavax of all of its convertible notes
which we held.
|
As of December 31, 2007, the net intangible assets
associated with
Synercid®
totaled approximately $76.4 million. We believe that these
intangible assets are not currently impaired based on estimated
undiscounted cash flows associated with these assets. However,
if our estimates regarding future cash flows prove to be
incorrect or adversely change, we may have to reduce the
estimated remaining useful life
and/or write
off a portion or all of these intangible assets.
In addition, certain generic companies have challenged patents
on
Skelaxin®
and
Avinza®.
For additional information, please see Note 19,
Commitments and Contingencies in Part IV,
Item 15(a)(1), Exhibits and Financial Statement
Schedules. If a generic version of
Skelaxin®
or
Avinza®
enters the market, we may have to write off a portion or all of
the intangible assets associated with these products.
The net book value of some of our manufacturing facilities
currently exceeds fair market value. Management currently
believes that the long-term assets associated with these
facilities are not impaired based on estimated undiscounted
future cash flows. However, if we were to approve a plan to sell
or close any of the facilities for which the carrying value
exceeds fair market value, we would have to write off a portion
of the assets or reduce the estimated useful life of the assets
which would accelerate depreciation.

Income (Expense)
Interest income increased during 2007 compared to 2006 and in
2006 compared to 2005 primarily due to an increase in interest
rates and a higher average balance of cash, cash equivalents and
investments in debt securities in 2007 compared to 2006 and in
2006 compared to 2005. We believe interest income will decrease
in 2008 compared to 2007 due to a diversification of our
investments in 2008. For additional information related to the
diversification of our investments in 2008 please see
Liquidity and Capital Resources below.
Special items affecting other income (expense) included the
following:
|
|
|
|
|
A loss of $11.6 million in 2007 related to our investment
in Palatin.
|
|
|
|
Income of $0.6 million during 2006 resulting from the early
retirement of our
23/4% Convertible
Debentures due November 15, 2021.
|

|
|
|
|
|
A charge of $6.2 million in 2005 in order to writedown our
investment in Novavax common stock to fair value. During the
third quarter of 2005, we sold our investment in Novavax.
|
Income
Tax Expense
During 2007 our effective income tax rate on our income from
continuing operations was 27.0%. This rate differed from the
statutory rate of 35% primarily due to tax benefits relating to
tax-exempt interest income and domestic production activities
deductions, which benefits were partially offset by state taxes.
Additionally, the 2007 rate benefited from the release of
reserves under FIN 48 as a result of the expiration of
certain federal and state statutes of limitations for the 2002
and 2003 tax years. We believe our effective tax rate in 2008
will be higher than the 2007 effective tax rate.
During 2006, our effective tax rate for continuing operations
was 32.0%. This rate differed from the federal statutory rate of
35% primarily due to benefits related to charitable
contributions of inventory, tax-exempt interest income and
domestic manufacturing activities deductions, which benefits
were partially offset by state taxes.
During 2005, our effective income tax rate for continuing
operations was 34.5%. This rate differed from the federal
statutory rate of 35% primarily due to tax benefits related to
charitable contributions of inventory, tax-exempt interest
income and domestic manufacturing activities deductions, which
benefits were partially offset by state taxes.

Our unconditional purchase obligations are primarily related to
minimum purchase requirements under contracts with suppliers to
purchase raw materials and finished goods related to our branded
pharmaceutical products and commitments associated with research
and development projects. The above table does not reflect any
potential milestone payments in connection with research and
development projects or acquisitions.
We have a supply agreement with a third party to produce
ramipril, the active ingredient in
Altace®.
This supply agreement is reflected in the unconditional purchase
obligations above. This supply agreement requires us to purchase
certain minimum levels of ramipril as long as we maintain market
exclusivity on
Altace®
in the United States, and thereafter the parties must negotiate
in good faith the annual minimum purchase quantities. In
September 2007, our 722 Patent that covered our
Altace®
product was invalidated by the Circuit Court as discussed above.
As a result of the invalidation of the 722 Patent, we
concluded that we have more
Altace®
52
raw material than is required to meet anticipated future demand
for the product. As a result, we recorded a charge of
$25.8 million in 2007 for our estimated remaining minimum
purchase requirements for excess
Altace®
raw material associated with this supply agreement. If
prescriptions for, or sales of,
Altace®
are less than current expectations, we may incur additional
losses in connection with the purchase commitments under the
supply agreement. In the event we incur additional losses in
connection with the purchase commitments under the supply
agreement, there may be a material adverse effect upon our
results of operations and cash flows.
We have supply agreements with two third parties to produce
metaxalone, the active ingredient in
Skelaxin®.
These supply agreements require us to purchase certain minimum
levels of metaxalone and expire in 2008 and 2010. If sales of
Skelaxin®
are not consistent with current forecasts, we could incur losses
in connection with purchase commitments for metaxalone, which
could have a material adverse effect upon our results of
operations and cash flows.
As of December 31, 2007, we had a liability for unrecognized tax
benefits of $34.5 million. Due to the high degree of uncertainty
regarding the timing of future cash outflows of liabilities for
unrecognized tax benefits beyond one year, a reasonable estimate
of the period of cash settlement for years beyond 2008 can not
be made.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
General
We believe that existing balances of cash, cash equivalents,
investments in debt securities and marketable securities, cash
generated from operations, our existing revolving credit
facility and funds potentially available to us under our
universal shelf registration are sufficient to finance our
current operations and working capital requirements on both a
short-term and long-term basis. However, we cannot predict the
amount or timing of our need for additional funds under various
circumstances, which could include a significant acquisition of
a business or assets, new product development projects,
expansion opportunities, or other factors that may require us to
raise additional funds in the future. We cannot provide
assurance that funds will be available to us when needed on
favorable terms, or at all.
As of December 31, 2007, our investments in debt securities
of $1,345.0 million consisted solely of tax-exempt auction
rate securities, and we were not invested in any mortgage-backed
securities or any securities backed by corporate debt
obligations. The tax-exempt auction rate securities that we hold
are long-term variable rate bonds tied to short-term interest
rates that are reset through an auction process generally every
seven, 28 or 35 days. All of our investments in debt
securities as of December 31, 2007, have experienced at
least one successful auction since that time. Our investment
policy requires us to maintain an investment portfolio with a
high credit quality. Accordingly, our investments in debt
securities are limited to issues which are rated AA or higher at
the time of purchase. We have realized no loss of principal with
respect to these investments.
During the first quarter of 2008 we diversified our portfolio of
short-term investments. As of February 27, 2008, we had
approximately $624.4 million invested in tax-exempt auction
rate securities and $823.3 million in money market funds
supported by U.S. Treasury obligations. As of February 27,
2008, our investments in
tax-exempt
auction rate securities consisted of $258.6 million
associated with student loans backed by the federal family
education loan program (FFELP), $244.3 million associated
with municipal bonds in which performance is supported by bond
insurers and $21.1 million associated with student loans
collateralized by loan pools which equal at least 200% of the
bond issue.
In the event that we attempt to liquidate a portion of our
holdings through an auction and are unable to do so, we term it
an auction failure. On February 11, 2008, we
began to experience auction failures. Since that date and as of
February 27, 2008, 78% of the auctions through which we
have attempted to liquidate investments in
tax-exempt
auction rate securities totaling $524.0 million have
failed. In the event of an auction failure, the interest rate on
the security is reset according to the contractual terms in the
underlying indenture. As of February 27, 2008, we have
received all scheduled interest payments associated with these
securities.
53
The current instability in the credit markets may affect our
ability to liquidate these securities. The funds associated with
failed auctions will not be accessible until a successful
auction occurs, the issuer calls or restructures the underlying
security, the underlying security matures or a buyer outside the
auction process emerges. At this point in time, we believe that
the failed auctions experienced to date are not a result of the
deterioration of the underlying credit quality of the securities
and any unrealized gain or loss associated with these securities
will be temporary and will be recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) in our Consolidated Financial
Statements.
On April 23, 2002, we established a $400.0 million
five-year Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility which was
scheduled to mature in April 2007. On April 19, 2007, this
facility was terminated and replaced with a new
$475.0 million five-year Senior Secured Revolving Credit
Facility which matures in April 2012.
In October 2007, we entered into a License, Development and
Commercialization Agreement with Acura to develop and
commercialize certain opioid analgesic products utilizing
Acuras proprietary
Aversion®
(abuse-deterrent/abuse-resistant) Technology in the United
States, Canada and Mexico. The agreement provides us with an
exclusive license for
Acuroxtm
(oxycodone HCl, niacin and a unique combination of other
ingredients) tablets, formerly known as OxyADF, and another
undisclosed opioid product utilizing Acuras
Aversion®
Technology. In addition, the agreement provides us with an
option to license all future opioid analgesic products developed
utilizing Acuras
Aversion®
Technology.
In December 2007, we made a non-refundable cash payment of
$30.0 million to Acura. Under the terms of the agreement,
we will reimburse Acura for all research and development
expenses incurred beginning from September 19, 2007 for
Acuroxtm
tablets and all research and development expenses related to
future products after the exercise of our option to an exclusive
license for each future product. During January 2008, we made an
additional payment of $2.0 million to Acura for certain
research and development expenses incurred by Acura prior to the
closing date. We may make additional non-refundable cash
milestone payments to Acura based on the successful achievement
of certain clinical and regulatory milestones for
Acuroxtm
tablets and for each other product developed under the
agreement. We may also make an additional $50.0 million
non-refundable cash milestone payment to Acura when the
aggregate net sales of all products developed under the
agreement exceeds $750.0 million. In addition, we will make
royalty payments to Acura ranging from 5% to 25% based on the
combined annual net sales of all products developed under the
agreement.
In December 2007, a third party launched a generic substitute
for
Altace®
capsules. Additional third parties will likely launch their own
generic substitutes for
Altace®
capsules in 2008. As a result of the entry of generic
competition, we expect net sales of
Altace®
will decline significantly during 2008. For a discussion
regarding the generic competition for
Altace®,
please see Note 19, Commitments and
Contingencies, in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1),
Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
Following the Circuit Courts decision in September 2007
invalidating our 722 Patent that covered
Altace®,
our senior management team conducted an extensive examination of
our company and developed a restructuring initiative designed to
accelerate a planned strategic shift emphasizing its focus in
neuroscience, hospital and acute care. This initiative includes
a reduction in personnel, staff leverage, expense reductions and
additional controls over spending, reorganization of sales teams
and a realignment of research and development priorities. We
incurred total costs of approximately $65.0 million in
connection with this initiative. This includes the contract
termination payment paid to Depomed, Inc. in October of 2007 of
approximately $29.7 million, as discussed below. The
remaining cash payments are expected to be completed during the
first quarter of 2008. We estimate that the 2008 selling,
general and administrative expense savings from these actions
will range from $75.0 million to $90.0 million. For
additional information, please see Note 25,
Restructuring Activities, in Part IV,
Item 15(a)(1), Exhibits and Financial Statement
Schedules.
In October 2007, we sold our Rochester, Michigan sterile
manufacturing facility, some of our legacy products that are
manufactured there and the related contract manufacturing
business to JHP Pharmaceuticals, LLC for $91.7 million,
less fees of $5.4 million. We retained our stand-alone
Bicillin (sterile penicillin products) manufacturing facility
which is also located in Rochester, Michigan. For additional
information, please see Note 10, Acquisitions,
Dispositions, Co-Promotions and Alliances, in
Part IV, Item 15(a)(1), Exhibits and Financial
Statement Schedules.
54
In May 2007, we entered into a Product Development Agreement
with Mutual Pharmaceutical Company (Mutual) and
United Research Laboratories (United) to jointly
research and develop one or more improved formulations of
metaxalone. Under this agreement, we sought Mutuals
expertise in developing improved formulations of metaxalone,
including certain improved formulations Mutual developed prior
to execution of this agreement and access to Mutuals and
Uniteds rights in intellectual property pertaining to such
formulations. We paid $3.1 million to Mutual for
development expenses, and this was recorded as in-process
research and development. Development activities under this
agreement ceased in December 2007.
In September 2006, we entered into a definitive asset purchase
agreement and related agreements with Ligand Pharmaceuticals
Incorporated (Ligand) to acquire rights to
Avinza®
(morphine sulfate extended release).
Avinza®
is an extended release formulation of morphine and is indicated
as a once-daily treatment for moderate to severe pain in
patients who require continuous opioid therapy for an extended
period of time. We completed the acquisition of
Avinza®
on February 26, 2007, acquiring all the rights to
Avinza®
in the United States, its territories and Canada. Under the
terms of the asset purchase agreement the purchase price was
$289.7 million, consisting of $289.3 million in cash
consideration and $0.4 million for the assumption of a
short-term liability. Additionally, we incurred acquisition
costs of $6.8 million. Of the cash payments made to Ligand,
$15.0 million was set aside in an escrow account to fund
potential liabilities that Ligand could later owe us, of which
$7.5 million was released to Ligand in each of the third
quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008.
As part of the transaction, we have agreed to pay Ligand an
ongoing royalty and assume payment of Ligands royalty
obligations to third parties. The royalty we will pay to Ligand
consists of a 15% royalty during the first 20 months after
the closing date. Subsequent royalty payments to Ligand will be
based upon calendar year net sales of
Avinza®
as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
If calendar year net sales are less than $200.0 million,
the royalty payment will be 5% of all net sales.
|
|
|
|
If calendar year net sales are greater than $200.0 million,
then the royalty payment will be 10% of all net sales up to
$250.0 million, plus 15% of net sales greater than
$250.0 million.
|
In connection with the transaction, in October 2006, we entered
into a loan agreement with Ligand for the amount of
$37.8 million. The principal amount of the loan was to be
used solely for the purpose of paying a specific liability
related to
Avinza®.
The loan was subject to certain market terms, including a 9.5%
interest rate and security interest in the assets that comprise
Avinza®
and certain of the proceeds of Ligands sale of certain
assets. On January 8, 2007, Ligand repaid the principal
amount of the loan of $37.8 million and accrued interest of
$0.9 million. Pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement
with Ligand, we forgave the interest on the loan and repaid
Ligand the interest at the time of closing the transaction to
acquire
Avinza®.
Accordingly, we have not recognized interest income on the note
receivable.
In January 2007, we obtained an exclusive license to certain
hemostatic products owned by Vascular Solutions, Inc.
(Vascular Solutions), including products which we
market as
Thrombi-Padtm
and
Thrombi-Gel®.
The license also includes a product we expect to market as
Thrombi-Pastetm,
which is currently in development. Each of these products
includes our
Thrombin-JMI®
topical hemostatic agent as a component. Vascular Solutions will
manufacture and supply the products for us. Upon execution of
the agreements, we made an initial payment to Vascular Solutions
of $6.0 million, a portion of which is refundable in the
event FDA approval for certain of these products is not
received. During the second quarter of 2007, we made an
additional milestone payment of $1.0 million. We could make
additional milestone payments of up to $1.0 million in cash.
In June 2000, we entered into a Co-Promotion Agreement with
Wyeth to promote
Altace®
in the United States and Puerto Rico through October 29,
2008, with possible extensions as outlined in the Co-Promotion
Agreement. Under the agreement, Wyeth paid an upfront fee to us
of $75.0 million. In connection with the Co-Promotion
Agreement, we agreed to pay Wyeth a promotional fee based on
annual net sales of
Altace®.
In July 2006, we entered into an Amended and Restated
Co-Promotion Agreement with Wyeth regarding
Altace®.
Effective January 1, 2007, we assumed full responsibility
for selling and marketing
Altace®.
For all of 2006,
55
the Wyeth sales force promoted the product with us and Wyeth
shared marketing expenses. We have paid or will pay Wyeth a
reduced annual fee as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
For 2006, 15% of
Altace®
net sales up to $165.0 million, 42.5% of
Altace®
net sales in excess of $165.0 million and less than or
equal to $465.0 million, and 52.5% of
Altace®
net sales that are in excess of $465.0 million and less
than or equal to $585.0 million.
|
|
|
|
For 2007, 30% of
Altace®
net sales, with the fee not to exceed $178.5 million.
|
|
|
|
For 2008, 22.5% of
Altace®
net sales, with the fee not to exceed $134.0 million.
|
|
|
|
For 2009, 14.2% of
Altace®
net sales, with the fee not to exceed $84.5 million.
|
|
|
|
For 2010, 25% of
Altace®
net sales, with the fee not to exceed $5.0 million.
|
The annual fee is accrued quarterly based on a percentage of
Altace®
net sales at a rate equal to the expected relationship of the
expected fee for the year to applicable expected
Altace®
net sales for the year.
In June 2006, we entered into a co-exclusive agreement with
Depomed, Inc. (Depomed) to commercialize
Depomeds
Glumetzatm
product. On October 29, 2007, we announced the termination
of this agreement. We paid Depomed a termination fee of
approximately $29.7 million and Depomed was not required to
pay us a promotion fee for the fourth quarter of 2007. We
fulfilled our promotion obligations through the end of 2007.
In March 2006, we acquired the exclusive right to market,
distribute, and sell
EpiPen®
throughout Canada and other specific assets from Allerex
Laboratory LTD (Allerex). Under the terms of the
agreements, the initial purchase price was approximately
$23.9 million, plus acquisition costs of approximately
$0.7 million. As an additional component of the purchase
price, we pay Allerex an earn-out equal to a percentage of
future sales of
EpiPen®
in Canada over a fixed period of time. As these additional
payments accrue, we will increase intangible assets by the
amount of the accrual. The aggregate amount of these payments
will not exceed $13.2 million.
In February 2006, we entered into a collaboration with Arrow to
commercialize one or more novel formulations of ramipril, the
active ingredient in our
Altace®
product. Under a series of agreements, Arrow granted us rights
to certain current and future New Drug Applications
(NDAs) regarding novel formulations of ramipril and
intellectual property, including patent rights and technology
licenses relating to these novel formulations. On
February 27, 2007, the FDA approved an NDA arising from
this collaboration for an
Altace®
tablet formulation. Arrow granted us an exclusive option to
acquire their entire right, title and interest to the Ramipril
Application or any future filed amended ramipril application for
the amount of $5.0 million. In April 2007, we exercised
this option and paid $5.0 million to Arrow. As a result, we
own the entire right, title and interest in and to the Ramipril
Application. Arrow will have responsibility for the manufacture
and supply of the new formulations of ramipril for us. However,
under certain conditions we may manufacture and supply new
formulations of ramipril.
Upon execution of the agreements, we made an initial payment to
Arrow of $35.0 million. During the fourth quarter of 2006
and the first and second quarters of 2007, we made additional
payments of $25.0 million in each of the three quarters to
Arrow. We classified these payments as in-process research and
development expense in 2006. Additionally, Arrow will earn fees
for the manufacture and supply of the new formulations of
ramipril.
In December 2005, we entered into a cross-license agreement with
Mutual. Under the terms of the agreement, each of the parties
has granted the other a worldwide license to certain
intellectual property, including patent rights and know-how,
relating to metaxalone. As of January 1, 2006, we began
paying royalties on net sales of products containing metaxalone
to Mutual. This royalty increased in the fourth quarter of 2006
due to the achievement of a certain milestone and may continue
to increase depending on the achievement of certain regulatory
and commercial milestones in the future. The royalty we pay to
Mutual is in addition to the royalty we pay to Elan Corporation,
plc (Elan) on our current formulation of metaxalone,
which we refer to as
Skelaxin®.
56
During the fourth quarter of 2005, we entered into a strategic
alliance with Pain Therapeutics, Inc. to develop and
commercialize
Remoxytm
and other opioid painkillers.
Remoxytm,
an investigational novel formulation of extended release
oxycodone for the treatment of moderate to severe chronic pain,
is designed to resist common methods of abuse, such as crushing,
heating, or dissolution in alcohol that are reported with
respect to other long-acting opioids. Under the strategic
alliance, we made an upfront cash payment of $150.0 million
in December 2005 and made a milestone payment of
$5.0 million in July 2006 to Pain Therapeutics. In
addition, we may pay additional milestone payments of up to
$145.0 million in cash based on the successful clinical and
regulatory development of
Remoxytm
and other opioid products. This amount includes a
$15.0 million cash payment upon acceptance of a regulatory
filing for
Remoxytm
and an additional $15.0 million upon its approval. We are
responsible for all research and development expenses related to
this alliance. After regulatory approval and commercialization
of
Remoxytm
or other products developed through this alliance, we will pay a
royalty of 15% of the cumulative net sales up to
$1.0 billion and 20% of the cumulative net sales over
$1.0 billion.
Elan was working to develop a modified release formulation of
Sonata®,
which we refer to as
Sonata®
MR, pursuant to an agreement we had with them which we refer to
as the
Sonata®
MR Development Agreement. In early 2005, we advised Elan that we
considered the
Sonata®
MR Development Agreement terminated for failure to satisfy the
target product profile required by us. Elan disputed the
termination and initiated an arbitration proceeding. During
December of 2006, the arbitration panel reached a decision in
favor of Elan and ordered us to pay Elan certain milestone
payments and other research and development-related expenses of
approximately $49.8 million, plus interest from the date of
the decision. In January 2007, we paid Elan $50.1 million,
which included interest of $0.4 million.
Settlement
of Governmental Pricing Investigation
As previously reported, during the first quarter of 2006, we
paid approximately $129.3 million, comprising (i) all
amounts due under the settlement agreements resolving the
governmental investigations related to our underpayment of
rebates owed to Medicaid and other governmental pricing programs
during the period from 1994 to 2002 (the Settlement
Agreements) and (ii) all our obligations to reimburse
other parties for expenses related to the settlement, including
the previously disclosed legal fees of approximately
$0.8 million and the previously disclosed settlement costs
of approximately $1.0 million.
The individual purportedly acting as a relator under
the False Claims Act appealed certain decisions of the District
Court denying the relators request to be compensated out
of the approximately $31.0 million that was paid by us to
those states that do not have legislation providing for a
relators share. On July 16, 2007, the
Court of Appeals affirmed the District Courts decision in
all respects, and denied the relators assertions with
respect to us. The relator exhausted his limited rights to
appeal the Court of Appeals decision and we consider this
matter concluded.
In addition to the Settlement Agreements, we have entered into a
five-year corporate integrity agreement with HHS/OIG (the
Corporate Integrity Agreement) pursuant to which we
are required, among other things, to keep in place our current
compliance program, to provide periodic reports to HHS/OIG and
to submit to audits relating to our Medicaid rebate calculations.
The Settlement Agreements do not resolve any of the previously
disclosed civil suits that are pending against us and related
individuals and entities discussed in the section
Securities and Derivative Litigation below.
The foregoing description of the settlement, the Settlement
Agreements and the Corporate Integrity Agreement is qualified in
its entirety by our Current Report on
Form 8-K
filed November 4, 2005, which is incorporated herein by
reference.
SEC
Investigation
As previously reported, the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the SEC) had also been conducting an investigation
relating to our underpayments to governmental programs and to
our previously disclosed errors relating to reserves for product
returns. On December 12, 2007, we received notice from the
Staff of the SEC that the investigation was closed.
57
Securities
and Derivative Litigation
As previously reported, on July 31, 2006 a stipulation of
settlement and a supplemental agreement (together, the
Settlement Agreement) were entered into to resolve
the federal securities litigation related to our underpayments
of rebates owed to Medicaid and other governmental pricing
programs and certain other matters. On January 9, 2007, the
court granted final approval of the Settlement Agreement. The
Settlement Agreement provides for a settlement amount of
$38.3 million, which has been fully funded by our insurance
carriers on our behalf.
Beginning in March 2003, four purported shareholder derivative
complaints were also filed in Tennessee state court alleging a
breach of fiduciary duty, among other things, by some of our
current and former officers and directors, with respect to the
same events at issue in the federal securities litigation
described above. These cases have been consolidated. In June
2007, plaintiffs filed a motion to amend the complaint, seeking
to name as defendants additional current and former officers and
directors and our independent auditors and to add additional
claims. Following negotiations among the parties, this motion
was granted in part, but it was denied with respect to naming as
defendants additional current and former officers and directors.
Trial is scheduled to begin on September 22, 2008. The
parties engaged in non-binding mediation in January 2008 but
were not able to reach a resolution. Discussions between the
parties continue.
Beginning in March 2003, three purported shareholder derivative
complaints were likewise filed in Tennessee Federal Court,
asserting claims similar to those alleged in the state
derivative litigation. These cases have been consolidated, and
on December 2, 2003 plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended
complaint. On March 9, 2004, the Court entered an order
indefinitely staying these cases in favor of the state
derivative action.
During the third quarter of 2006 and the second quarter of 2007,
we recorded an anticipated insurance recovery of legal fees in
the amount of $6.8 million and $3.4 million,
respectively, for the class action and derivative suits
described above. In November of 2006 and July of 2007, we
received payment for the recovery of these legal fees.
For additional information, please see Note 19,
Commitments and Contingencies, in Part IV,
Item 15(a)(1), Exhibits and Financial Statement
Schedules.
We are currently unable to predict the outcome of the pending
litigation. If we were not to prevail in the pending litigation,
our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
Patent
Challenges
Certain generic companies have challenged patents on
Skelaxin®
and
Avinza®.
For additional information, please see Note 19,
Commitments and Contingencies, in Part IV,
Item 15(a)(1), Exhibits and Financial Statement
Schedules. If a generic version of
Skelaxin®
or
Avinza®,
enters the market, our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

Our net cash from operations was higher in 2007 than in 2006
primarily due to our payment in 2006 of $129.3 million
pursuant to the Settlement Agreements described in
the section entitled Settlement of Government Pricing
Investigation above, an increase in net sales and a lower
co-promotion fee rate in 2007 compared to 2006. Our net cash
flows from operations in 2007 benefited from an
$80.1 million reduction in
58
accounts receivable during 2007 which is discussed below, that
was partially offset by the effect of a $50.1 million
payment we made in 2007 as a result of a binding arbitration
proceeding with Elan in 2006.
In December 2007, a third party launched a generic substitute
for
Altace®
capsules. Additional third parties will likely launch their own
generic substitutes for
Altace®
capsules in 2008. As a result of the entry of generic
competition, we expect net cash flows from operations will
decline significantly in 2008.
Our net cash from operations was lower in 2006 than in 2005
primarily due to our payment in 2006 of $129.3 million
pursuant to the Settlement Agreements described in
the section entitled Settlement of Government Pricing
Investigation above and an increase in our investment in
research and development partially offset by an increase in net
sales and a lower co-promotion fee rate in 2006.
Please see the section entitled Operating Results
for a discussion of net sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses and co-promotion fees.

The significant decrease in accounts receivable at
December 31, 2007 from December 31, 2006 is primarily
due to the timing of sales within the year. Gross sales in
December 2007 and December 2006 were
$124.7 million and $189.7 million, respectively. Sales
to our three major pharmaceutical wholesale customers
represented approximately 75% of total gross sales in 2007. The
timing of orders from these customers can vary within a quarter
and can have a material effect on our accounts receivable
balance and cash flows from operations.

Investing activities in 2007 include the acquisition of
Avinza®
for $296.4 million, purchases of product rights and
intellectual property for $98.9 million and net investments
in debt securities of $454.8 million. Capital expenditures
during 2007 totaled $49.6 million, which included property,
plant and equipment purchases, building improvements for
facility upgrades and costs associated with improving our
production capabilities. These payments were partially offset by
the collection of the loan to Ligand in the amount of
$37.8 million and the net proceeds received of
$86.3 million from the sale of the Companys
Rochester, Michigan sterile manufacturing facility.
Investing activities in 2006 primarily relate to our net
investments in debt securities of $395.5 million. We
transferred $129.3 million from restricted cash for
payments associated with the Settlement Agreements
noted
59
above in cash flows from operating activities. Additionally we
made payments totaling $85.8 million for our collaboration
agreement with Arrow and our acquisition from Allerex Laboratory
LTD of the exclusive right to market
Epipen®
in Canada. Capital expenditures during 2006 totaled
$45.8 million which included property, plant and equipment
purchases, building improvements for facility upgrades and costs
associated with improving our production capabilities, as well
as costs associated with moving production of some of our
pharmaceutical products to our facilities in St. Louis,
Bristol and Rochester. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of
2006, in connection with our pending acquisition from Ligand of
all of Ligands assets related to
Avinza®,
we entered into a Loan Agreement with Ligand pursuant to which
we loaned Ligand $37.8 million. The principal amount of the
Loan was to be used solely for the purpose of paying certain
obligations of Ligand to Organon USA Inc., which obligations we
assumed as part of the acquisition.
Investing activities in 2005 were driven by payments totaling
$217.3 for purchases of product rights and intellectual
property. Capital expenditures during 2005 totaled
$53.3 million which included property, plant and equipment
purchases, building improvements for facility upgrades and costs
associated with improving our production capabilities, and costs
associated with moving production of some of our pharmaceutical
products to our facilities in St. Louis, Bristol and
Rochester. Additionally in 2005, we transferred
$73.6 million to restricted cash primarily related to the
now completed investigation of our company by the HHS/OIG. We
increased our investments in debt securities by
$345.2 million.
We anticipate capital expenditures, including capital lease
obligations, for the year ending December 31, 2008 of
approximately $55.0 to $65.0 million, which we expect to
fund with cash from operations. The principal capital
expenditures are anticipated to include property and equipment
purchases, information technology systems and hardware, building
improvements for facility upgrades, costs associated with
improving our production capabilities, and costs associated with
moving production of some of our pharmaceutical products to our
facility in Bristol.

During 2006, we issued $400.0 million of
11/4% Convertible
Senior Notes due April 1, 2026 and repurchased all of our
outstanding
23/4% Convertible
Debentures due November 15, 2021 for $342.7 million.
Certain
Indebtedness and Other Matters
During 2006, we issued $400.0 million of
11/4% Convertible
Senior Notes due April 1, 2026 (Notes). The
Notes are unsecured obligations and are guaranteed by each of
our domestic subsidiaries on a joint and several basis. The
Notes accrue interest at an initial rate of
11/4%.
Beginning with the six-month interest period that commences on
April 1, 2013, we will pay additional interest during any
six-month interest period if the average trading price of the
Notes during the five consecutive trading days ending on the
second trading day immediately preceding the first day of such
six-month period equals 120% or more of the principal amount of
the Notes. Interest is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each
year, beginning October 1, 2006.
On or after April 5, 2013, we may redeem for cash some or
all of the Notes at any time at a price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued
and unpaid interest, and liquidated damages, if any, to but
excluding the date fixed for redemption. Holders may require us
to purchase for cash some or all of their Notes on April 1,
2013, April 1, 2016 and April 1, 2021, or upon the
occurrence of a fundamental change, at 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus any accrued and unpaid
interest, and liquidated damages, if any, to but excluding the
purchase date.
During the fourth quarter of 2001, we issued $345.0 million
of
23/4% Convertible
Debentures due November 15, 2021 (Debentures).
On March 29, 2006, we repurchased $165.0 million of
the Debentures prior to maturity. On May 16, 2006, the
interest rate on the Debentures reset to 3.5%. On June 2,
2006, we completed a tender offer, repurchasing
$175.7 million of the Debentures. On November 20,
2006, we redeemed the remaining Debentures of $4.3 million.

In April 2002, we established a $400.0 million five-year
senior secured revolving credit facility that was scheduled to
mature in April 2007. On April 19, 2007, this facility was
terminated and replaced with a new $475.0 million five-year
Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility which is scheduled to
mature in April 2012 (the 2007 Credit Facility). As
of December 31, 2007, up to $474.0 million is
available to us under the 2007 Credit Facility.
The 2007 Credit Facility is collateralized by a pledge of 100%
of the equity of most of our domestic subsidiaries and by a
pledge of 65% of the equity of our foreign subsidiaries. Our
obligations under this facility are unconditionally guaranteed
on a senior basis by four of our subsidiaries, King
Pharmaceuticals Research and Development, Inc., Monarch
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Meridian Medical Technologies, Inc., and
Parkedale Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The 2007 Credit Facility accrues
interest at either, at our option, (a) the base rate, which
is based on the greater of (1) the prime rate or
(2) the federal funds rate plus one-half of 1%, plus an
applicable spread ranging from 0.0% to 0.5% (based on a leverage
ratio) or (b) the applicable LIBOR rate plus an applicable
spread ranging from 0.875% to 1.50% (based on a leverage ratio).
In addition, the lenders under the 2007 Credit Facility are
entitled to customary facility fees based on (x) unused
commitments under the facility and (y) letters of credit
outstanding. The facility provides availability for the issuance
of up to $30.0 million in letters of credit. We incurred
$1.5 million of deferred financing costs in connection with
the establishment of this facility, which we will amortize over
five years, the life of the facility. This facility requires us
to maintain a minimum net worth of no less than
$1.5 billion plus 50% of our consolidated net income for
each fiscal quarter after April 19, 2007, excluding any
fiscal quarter for which consolidated income is negative; an
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization) to interest expense ratio of no less than 3.00 to
1.00; and a funded debt to EBITDA ratio of no greater than 3.50
to 1.00. As of December 31, 2007, we were in compliance
with these covenants. As of December 31, 2007, we had
$1.0 million outstanding for letters of credit.
On September 20, 2001, our universal shelf registration
statement on
Form S-3
was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. This universal shelf registration statement
registered a total of $1.3 billion of our securities for
future offers and sales in one or more transactions and in any
combination of debt
and/or
equity. During November 2001, we completed the sale of
17,992,000 newly issued shares of common stock for $38.00 per
share ($36.67 per share net of commissions and expenses)
resulting in net proceeds of $659.8 million. As of
December 31, 2007, there was $616.3 million of
securities remaining registered for future offers and sales
under the shelf registration statement.
Impact
of Inflation
We have experienced only moderate raw material and labor price
increases in recent years. While we have passed some price
increases along to our customers, we have primarily benefited
from sales growth negating most inflationary pressures.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have chosen accounting policies that we believe are
appropriate to accurately and fairly report our operating
results and financial position, and apply those accounting
policies in a consistent manner.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make 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 reporting
period.
Significant estimates for which it is reasonably possible that a
material change in estimate could occur in the near term include
forecasted future cash flows used in testing for impairments of
intangible and tangible assets and loss accruals for excess
inventory and fixed purchase commitments under our supply
contracts. Forecasted future cash flows in particular require
considerable judgment and are subject to inherent imprecision.
In the case of impairment testing, changes in estimates of
future cash flows could result in a material impairment charge
and, whether they result in an immediate impairment charge,
could result prospectively in a
61
reduction in the estimated remaining useful life of tangible or
intangible assets, which could be material to the financial
statements.
Other significant estimates include accruals for Medicaid and
other rebates, returns and chargebacks, allowances for doubtful
accounts and estimates used in applying the revenue recognition
policy and accounting for the Amended and Restated Co-Promotion
Agreement with Wyeth.
We are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual
results to differ from the related estimates, and our estimates
may change from time to time in response to actual developments
and new information.
The significant accounting estimates that we believe are
important to aid in fully understanding our reported financial
results include the following:
|
|
|
|
|
Intangible assets, goodwill, and other long-lived
assets. When we acquire product rights in
conjunction with either business or asset acquisitions, we
allocate an appropriate portion of the purchase price to
intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets. The
purchase price is allocated to product rights and trademarks,
patents, acquired research and development, if any, and other
intangibles using the assistance of valuation consultants. We
estimate the useful lives of the assets by factoring in the
characteristics of the products such as: patent protection,
competition by products prescribed for similar indications,
estimated future introductions of competing products, and other
issues. The factors that drive the estimate of the life of the
asset are inherently uncertain. However, patents have specific
legal lives over which they are amortized. Conversely,
trademarks and product rights have no specific legal lives.
Trademarks and product rights will continue to be an asset to us
after the expiration of the patent, as their economic value is
not tied exclusively to the patent. We believe that by
establishing separate lives for the patent versus the trademark
and product rights, we are in essence using an accelerated
method of amortization for the product as a whole. This results
in greater amortization in earlier years when the product is
under patent protection, as we are amortizing both the patent
and the trademark and product rights, and less amortization when
the product faces potential generic competition, as the
amortization on the patent is eliminated. Because we have no
discernible evidence to show a decline in cash flows for
trademarks and product rights, or for patents, we use the
straight-line method of amortization for both intangibles.
|
We review our property, plant and equipment and intangible
assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. We review our goodwill for possible impairment
annually, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. In any event, we
evaluate the remaining useful lives of our intangible assets
each reporting period to determine whether events and
circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of
amortization. This evaluation is performed through our quarterly
evaluation of intangibles for impairment. Further, on an annual
basis, we review the life of each intangible asset and make
adjustments as deemed appropriate. In evaluating goodwill for
impairment, we estimate the fair value of our individual
business reporting units on a discounted cash flow basis.
Assumptions and estimates used in the evaluation of impairment
may affect the carrying value of long-lived assets, which could
result in impairment charges in future periods. Such assumptions
include projections of future cash flows and, in some cases, the
current fair value of the asset. In addition, our depreciation
and amortization policies reflect judgments on the estimated
useful lives of assets.
We may incur impairment charges in the future if prescriptions
for, or sales of, our products are less than current
expectations and result in a reduction of our estimated
undiscounted future cash flows. This may be caused by many
factors, including competition from generic substitutes,
significant delays in the manufacture or supply of materials,
the publication of negative results of studies or clinical
trials, new legislation or regulatory proposals.

Inventories. Our inventories are valued at the
lower of cost or market value. We evaluate our entire inventory
for short-dated or slow-moving product and inventory commitments
under supply agreements based on projections of future demand
and market conditions. For those units in inventory that are so
identified, we estimate their market value or net sales value
based on current realization trends. If the projected net
realizable value is less than cost, on a product basis, we make
a provision to reflect the lower value of that inventory. This
methodology recognizes projected inventory losses at the time
such losses are evident rather than at the time goods are
actually sold. We maintain supply agreements with some of our
vendors which contain minimum purchase requirements. We estimate
future inventory requirements based on current facts and trends.
Should our minimum purchase requirements under supply agreements
or if our estimated future inventory requirements exceed actual
inventory quantities that we will be able to sell to our
customers, we record a charge in costs of revenues.
|
|
|
|
Accruals for rebates, returns and
chargebacks. We establish accruals for returns,
chargebacks, Medicaid, Medicare and commercial rebates in the
same period we recognize the related sales. The accruals reduce
revenues and are included in accrued expenses. At the time a
rebate or chargeback
|
64
|
|
|
|
|
payment is made or a product return is received, which occurs
with a delay after the related sale, we record a reduction to
accrued expenses and, at the end of each quarter, adjust accrued
expenses for differences between estimated and actual payments.
Due to estimates and assumptions inherent in determining the
amount of returns, chargebacks and rebates, the actual amount of
product returns and claims for chargebacks and rebates may be
different from our estimates.
|
Our product returns accrual is primarily based on estimates of
future product returns over the period during which customers
have a right of return which is in turn based in part on
estimates of the remaining shelf life of our products when sold
to customers. Future product returns are estimated primarily on
historical sales and return rates. We also consider the level of
inventory of our products in the distribution channel. We base
our estimate of our Medicaid rebate, Medicare rebate and
commercial rebate accruals on estimates of usage by
rebate-eligible customers, estimates of the level of inventory
of our products in the distribution channel that remain
potentially subject to those rebates, and the terms of our
commercial and regulatory rebate obligations. We base our
estimate of our chargeback accrual on our estimates of the level
of inventory of our products in the distribution channel that
remain subject to chargebacks, and specific contractual and
historical chargeback rates. The estimate of the level of our
products in the distribution channel is based primarily on data
provided by our three key wholesalers under inventory management
agreements.
Our accruals for returns, chargebacks and rebates are adjusted
as appropriate for specific known developments that may result
in a change in our product returns or our rebate and chargeback
obligations. In the case of product returns, we monitor demand
levels for our products and the effects of the introduction of
competing products and other factors on this demand. When we
identify decreases in demand for products or experience higher
than historical rates of returns caused by unexpected discrete
events, we further analyze these products for potential
additional supplemental reserves.
|
|
|
|
|
Revenue recognition. Revenue is recognized
when title and risk of loss are transferred to customers,
collection of sales is reasonably assured, and we have no
further performance obligations. This is generally at the time
products are received by the customer. Accruals for estimated
returns, rebates and chargebacks, determined based on historical
experience, reduce revenues at the time of sale and are included
in accrued expenses. Medicaid and certain other governmental
pricing programs involve particularly difficult interpretations
of relevant statutes and regulatory guidance, which are complex
and, in certain respects, ambiguous. Moreover, prevailing
interpretations of these statutes and guidance can change over
time. Royalty revenue is recognized based on a percentage of
sales (namely, contractually
agreed-upon
royalty rates) reported by third parties. For additional
information, please see Note 2, Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies, in Part IV,
Item 15(a)(1), Exhibits and Financial Statement
Schedules.

Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(FIN 48). FIN 48 is an interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes,
and it seeks to reduce the variability in practice associated
with measurement and recognition of tax benefits. FIN 48
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for
the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax
position that an entity takes or expects to take in a tax
return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on
de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Under
FIN 48, an entity may only recognize or continue to
recognize tax positions that meet a more likely than
not threshold. We recorded the cumulative effect of
applying FIN 48 of $1.5 million as a reduction to the
opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2007.
The total gross liability under FIN 48 as of
January 1, 2007 was $44.3 million. For additional
information, please see Note 17, Income Taxes
in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1), Exhibits and
Financial Statement Schedules.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS No. 157). This statement defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value,
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The
statement is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. We are in the process of
evaluating the effect of SFAS No. 157 on our financial
statements and are planning to adopt this standard in the first
quarter of 2008.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
(SFAS No. 159). This statement permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and
certain other items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 also
establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to
facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different
measurement attributes for similar types of assets and
liabilities. The statement is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
We are in the process of evaluating the effect of
SFAS No. 159 on our financial statements and are
planning to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2008.
In June 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the
Emerging Issues Task Force on Issue
No. 07-3,
Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or
Services Received for Use in Future Research and Development
Activities (Issue
07-3).
Issue 07-3
addresses nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services
that will be used or rendered for future research and
development activities and requires these payments be deferred
and capitalized. Under Issue
07-03,
expense will be recognized as the related goods are delivered or
the related services are performed. Issue
07-03 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2007 and is applied
prospectively for new contracts entered into on or after the
effective date. We are in the process of evaluating the effect
of Issue
07-3 on our
financial statements and are planning to adopt this standard in
the first quarter of 2008.
In December 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF
Issue 07-01,
Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements (Issue
07-01).
Issue 07-01
requires collaborators to present the results of activities for
which they act as the principal on a gross basis and report any
payments received from (made to) other collaborators based on
other applicable Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP) or, in the absence of other applicable GAAP,
based on analogy to authoritative accounting literature or a
reasonable, rational, and consistently applied accounting policy
election. Issue
07-01 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2008. We are in the process of evaluating the effect of Issue
07-01 on our
financial statements, and we plan to adopt this standard in the
first quarter of 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business Combinations
(SFAS No. 141(R)). This statement
establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer
recognizes and measures in its financial statements the
identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and recognizes and
measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a
gain from a bargain purchase. SFAS No. 141(R) also
sets forth the disclosures required to be made in the financial
statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the
business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) applies
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition
date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting
period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are
planning to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests
in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB
No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). This
statement establishes accounting and reporting standards that
require that the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by
parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled,
and presented in the consolidated statement of financial
position within equity, but separate from the parents
equity; the amount of consolidated net income attributable to
the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly
identified and presented on the face of the consolidated
statement of income; and changes in a parents ownership
interest while the parent retains its controlling financial
interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently.
SFAS No. 160 also requires that any retained
noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be
initially measured at fair value when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also sets forth the
66
disclosure requirements to identify and distinguish between the
interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling
owners. SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities that
prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit
organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an
outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries
or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those
fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
Earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 160 must be
applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in
which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and
disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure
requirements are applied retrospectively for all periods
presented. We do not anticipate the adoption of SFAS
No. 160 will have an effect on our financial statements.

Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|
We are exposed to market risk for changes in the market values
of some of our investments (Investment Risk) and the
effect of interest rate changes (Interest Rate
Risk). Our financial instruments are not currently subject
to foreign currency risk or commodity price risk. We have no
financial instruments held for trading purposes. At
December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, we did not hold any
derivative financial instruments, other than utility contracts
which qualify as normal purchase and sales and derivatives
associated with the convertible senior notes. The quantitative
and qualitative disclosures about market risk are set forth
below.
Interest
Rate Risk
The fair market value (fair value) of long-term
fixed interest rate debt is subject to interest rate risk.
Generally, the fair market value of fixed interest rate debt
will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest
rates rise. In addition, the fair value of our convertible
debentures is affected by our stock price. The estimated fair
value of our total long-term debt at December 31, 2007 was
$340.0 million. Fair values were determined from available
market prices, using current interest rates and terms to
maturity. If interest rates were to increase or decrease 1%, the
fair value of our long-term debt would increase or decrease by
approximately $20 million.
Investment
Risk
We have marketable securities which are carried at fair value
based on current market quotes. Gains and losses on securities
are based on the specific identification method.
For additional information related to our investment in debt
securities, please see Liquidity and Capital
Resources above.

Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the
reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods
specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
67
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required financial disclosure.
Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation,
as required by
Rule 13a-15(b)
under the Exchange Act, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Exchange Act
Rule 13a-15(e))
as of December 31, 2007.
Based on this evaluation by management, the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of
December 31, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective.
Managements
Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term
is defined in Exchange Act
Rule 13a-15(f).
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of
our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2007, based on the framework and criteria
established in Internal Control Integrated
Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this
evaluation, our management has concluded that internal control
over financial reporting was effective as of December 31,
2007.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2007 has been audited by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public
accounting firm, as stated in its report which appears herein.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the quarter ended
December 31, 2007 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
King Pharmaceuticals, Inc.:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in
the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of King
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the
Company) at December 31, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition,
in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the
index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein when read
in conjunction with the related consolidated financial
statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all
material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria
established in Internal Control Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The
Companys management is responsible for these financial
statements and the financial statement schedule, for maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting, included in Managements Report on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under
Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these
financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and
on the Companys internal control over financial reporting
based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement and whether effective internal control over
financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our
audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal
control over financial reporting included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting,
assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of
internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also
included performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts
for share-based compensation in 2006. As discussed in
Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company changed the manner in which it accounts for uncertain
tax positions in 2007.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A companys
internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
F-1
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make 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 reporting period.
Significant estimates for which it is reasonably possible that a
material change in estimate could occur in the near term include
forecasted future cash flows used in testing for impairments of
intangible and tangible assets and loss accruals for excess
inventory and fixed purchase commitments under the
Companys supply contracts. Forecasted future cash flows in
particular require considerable judgment and are subject to
inherent imprecision. In the case of impairment testing, changes
in estimates of future cash flows could result in an immediate
material impairment charge and, whether they result in an
impairment charge, could result prospectively in a reduction in
the estimated remaining useful life of tangible or intangible
assets, which could be material to the financial statements.
Other significant estimates include accruals for Medicaid,
Medicare and commercial rebates; returns; chargebacks;
allowances for doubtful accounts; estimates used in applying the
revenue recognition policy and accounting for the Co-Promotion
Agreement with Wyeth. Reserves for returns; chargebacks;
Medicaid, Medicare and commercial rebates each use the estimate
of the level of inventory of the Companys products in the
distribution channel at the end of the period. The estimate of
the level of inventory of the Companys products in the
distribution channel is based primarily on data provided by our
three key wholesalers under inventory management agreements.
The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause
actual results to differ from the related estimates, and the
Companys estimates may change from time to time in
response to actual developments and new information.
Revenue recognition. Revenue is recognized
when title and risk of loss are transferred to customers,
collection of sales is reasonably assured, and the Company has
no further performance obligations. This is generally at the
time products are received by the customer. Accruals for
estimated discounts, returns, rebates and chargebacks that are
determined based on historical experience, reduce revenues at
the time of sale and are included in accrued expenses. Royalty
revenue is recognized based on a percentage of sales (namely,
contractually
agreed-upon
royalty rates) reported by third parties.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill. Intangible
assets, which primarily include acquired product rights,
trademarks, and patents, are stated at cost, net of accumulated
amortization. Amortization is computed over
F-7
KING

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
the estimated useful lives, ranging from one to forty years,
using primarily the straight-line method. We estimate the useful
lives of the assets by factoring in the characteristics of the
products such as: patent protection, competition by products
prescribed for similar indications, estimated future
introductions of competing products, and other factors. The
Company evaluates the remaining useful lives of intangible
assets each reporting period to determine whether events and
circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of
amortization. This evaluation is performed through the quarterly
evaluation of intangibles for impairment. The Company reviews
its intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. The Company reviews goodwill for possible
impairment annually, or whenever events or circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In
evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company estimates fair
value of the Companys individual business reporting units
on a discounted cash flow basis. Assumptions and estimates used
in the evaluation of impairment may affect the carrying value of
long-lived assets, which could result in impairment charges in
future periods. Such assumptions include projections of future
cash flows and, in some cases, the current fair value of the
asset. In addition, the Companys amortization policies
reflect judgments on the estimated useful lives of assets.
Accruals for rebates, returns, and
chargebacks. The Company establishes accruals for
returns; chargebacks; and commercial, Medicare and Medicaid
rebate obligations in the same period it recognizes the related
sales. The accruals reduce revenues and are included in accrued
expenses. At the time a rebate or chargeback payment is made or
a product return is received, which occurs with a delay after
the related sale, the Company records a reduction to accrued
expenses and, at the end of each quarter, adjusts accrued
expenses for differences between estimated and actual payments.
Due to estimates and assumptions inherent in determining the
amount of returns, chargebacks and rebates, the actual amount of
product returns and claims for chargeback and rebates may differ
from the Companys estimates.
The Companys product returns accrual is primarily based on
estimates of future product returns over the period during which
customers have a right of return, which is in turn based in part
on estimates of the remaining shelf-life of our products when
sold to customers. Future product returns are estimated
primarily based on historical sales and return rates. The
Company estimates its commercial, Medicare and Medicaid rebate
accruals based on estimates of utilization by rebate-eligible
customers, estimates of the level of inventory of its products
in the distribution channel that remain potentially subject to
those rebates, and the terms of its commercial, Medicare and
Medicaid rebate obligations. The Company estimates its
chargeback accrual based on its estimates of the level of
inventory of its products in the distribution channel that
remain subject to chargebacks, and specific contractual and
historical chargeback rates. The estimate of the level of our
products in the distribution channel is based primarily on data
provided by our three key wholesalers under inventory management
agreements.
The Companys accruals for returns, chargebacks and rebates
are adjusted as appropriate for specific known developments that
may result in a change in its product returns or its rebate and
chargeback obligations. In the case of product returns, the
Company monitors demand levels for its products and the effects
of the introduction of competing products and other factors on
this demand. When the Company identifies decreases in demand for
products or experiences higher than historical rates of returns
caused by unexpected discrete events, it further analyzes these
products for potential additional supplemental reserves.
Shipping and Handling Costs. The Company
incurred $3,527, $3,777, and $2,148 in 2007, 2006, and 2005,
respectively, related to third-party shipping and handling costs
classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in
the consolidated statements of operations. The Company does not
bill customers for such costs.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company
considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The
Companys cash and cash equivalents are held in safekeeping
by large domestic banks.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Restricted Cash. Cash escrowed for a specific
purpose is designated as restricted cash.
Investments in Debt Securities. The Company
invests in tax-exempt auction rate securities as part of its
cash management strategy. Tax-exempt auction rate securities are
long-term variable rate bonds tied to short-term interest rates
that are reset through an auction process generally every seven,
28 or 35 days. The Company classifies auction rate
securities as available-for-sale at the time of purchase in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and any
unrealized gains or losses are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, there
were no cumulative gross unrealized holding gains or losses on
investments in debt securities.
As of December 31, 2007, the Companys investments in
debt securities of $1,344,980 consisted solely of tax-exempt
auction rate securities and the Company had not invested in any
mortgage-backed securities or any securities backed by corporate
debt obligations. The Companys investment policy requires
it to maintain an investment portfolio with a high credit
quality. Accordingly, the Companys investments in debt
securities are limited to issues which are rated AA or higher at
the time of purchase. The Company has experienced no loss of
principal with respect to these investments.
On February 11, 2008, the Company began to experience
auction failures. In the event of an auction failure, the
interest rate on the security is set according to the
contractual terms in the underlying indenture. The funds
associated with failed auctions will not be accessible until a
successful auction occurs, the issuer calls or restructures the
underlying security, the underlying security matures or a buyer
outside the auction process emerges.
Marketable Securities. The Company classifies
its marketable securities as available-for-sale. These
securities are carried at fair market value based on current
market quotes, with unrealized gains and losses reported in
shareholders equity as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income. Gains or losses on securities sold are
based on the specific identification method. The Company reviews
its investment portfolio as deemed necessary and, where
appropriate, adjusts individual securities for
other-than-temporary impairments. The Company does not hold
these securities for speculative or trading purposes.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts. Trade accounts receivable are recorded
at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance
for doubtful accounts is managements best estimate of the
amount of probable credit losses in the Companys existing
accounts receivable. Management determines the allowance based
on historical experience along with the present knowledge of
potentially uncollectible accounts. Management reviews its
allowance for doubtful accounts quarterly. Past due balances
over 120 days and greater than a specified amount are
reviewed individually for collectibility. All other balances are
reviewed on a pooled basis by type of receivable. Account
balances are charged off against the allowance when management
feels it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The
Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure
related to customers.
Inventories. Inventories are stated at the
lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the
first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method. Product samples held for distribution
to physicians and other healthcare providers represent
approximately 4% and 3% of inventory as of December 31,
2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company has fixed purchase
commitments under supply contracts for certain raw materials. A
loss accrual is recorded when the total inventory for a product
is projected to be more than the forecasted demand.
Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on the difference between the
financial statement and the tax bases of assets and liabilities
using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is
recorded when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely
than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Litigation. At various times the Company may
have patent, product liability, consumer, commercial,
environmental and tax claims asserted against it and may be
subjected to litigation with respect to the claims. In addition,
the Company may be the subject of government investigations and
a party to other legal proceedings that arise from time to time
in the ordinary course of business (see Note 19). The
Company accrues for amounts related to these legal matters if it
is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount is
reasonably estimable. If the estimated amount of the liability
is a range and some amount within the range appears to be a
better estimate than any other amount within the range, that
amount is accrued. When no amount within the range is a better
estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount in the range
is accrued. The Company capitalizes legal costs in the defense
of its patents to the extent there is an evident increase in the
value of the patent.
Financial Instruments and Derivatives. The
Company does not use financial instruments for trading purposes.
On December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company did not have any
interest rate protection agreements or other derivatives
outstanding other than utility contracts which qualify as normal
purchase and sales and derivatives associated with the
Convertible Senior Notes (see Note 14).
The fair value of financial instruments is determined by
reference to various market data or other valuation techniques
as appropriate. Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair values of
financial instruments approximate their recorded values.
Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant
and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are
expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets using the
straight-line method. The estimated useful lives are principally
fifteen to forty years for buildings and improvements and three
to fifteen years for machinery and equipment.
The Company capitalizes certain computer software acquisition
and development costs incurred in connection with developing or
obtaining computer software for internal use. Capitalized
software costs are amortized over the estimated useful lives of
the software which generally range from three to seven years.
In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of property, plant and equipment may be
impaired, evaluation of recoverability is performed using the
estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the
asset compared to the assets carrying amount to determine
if a write-down is required. To the extent such projection
indicates that undiscounted cash flow is not expected to be
adequate to recover the carrying amount, the asset would be
written down to its fair value using discounted cash flows.
Research and Development Costs. Research and
development costs consist primarily of services performed by
third parties, and are expensed as incurred. This includes costs
to acquire in-process research and development projects for
products that have not received regulatory approval and do not
have an alternative future use. Milestone payments made to third
parties in connection with a product in development prior to its
regulatory approval are also expensed as incurred. Milestone
payments made to third parties with respect to a product on or
after its regulatory approval are capitalized and amortized over
the remaining useful life of the product. Amounts capitalized
for these payments are included in intangible assets.
Deferred Financing Costs. Financing costs
related to the $400,000 convertible senior notes are being
amortized over seven years to the first date the debt can be put
by the holders to the Company. Financing costs related to the
senior secured revolving credit facility are being amortized
over five years, the term of the facility. See Note 14 for
further discussion.
Insurance. The Company is self-insured with
respect to its healthcare benefit program. The Company pays a
fee to a third party to administer the plan. The Company has
stop loss coverage on a per employee basis as well as in the
aggregate. Self-insured costs are accrued based upon reported
claims and an estimated liability for claims incurred but not
reported.

Advertising. The Company expenses advertising
costs as incurred and these costs are classified as selling,
general and administrative expenses in the consolidated
statements of operations. Advertising costs for the years ended
December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 were $125,064, $92,492,
and $85,044, respectively.
Promotional Fees to Wyeth. On June 22,
2000, the Company entered into a Co-Promotion Agreement with
Wyeth to promote
Altace®
in the United States and Puerto Rico through October 29,
2008, with possible extensions as outlined in the Co-Promotion
Agreement. Under the agreement, Wyeth paid an upfront fee of
$75,000 to King, which was classified as a liability and is
being amortized over the term of the agreement as amended. In
connection with the Co-Promotion Agreement, the Company agreed
to pay Wyeth a promotional fee based on annual net sales of
Altace®.
On July 5, 2006 the Company entered into an Amended and
Restated Co-Promotion Agreement (Amended Co-Promotion
Agreement) with Wyeth regarding
Altace®
which extended the term to December 31, 2010. Effective
January 1, 2007, the Company assumed full responsibility
for selling, marketing and promoting
Altace®.
Under the Amended Co-Promotion Agreement, the Company will pay
Wyeth a reduced annual fee based on net sales of
Altace®.
The annual fee is accrued quarterly based on a percentage of
Altace®
net sales at a rate equal to the expected relationship of the
expected fee for the year to applicable expected
Altace®
net sales for the year. See Note 10 for further discussion.
Stock Compensation. Effective January 1,
2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based
Payment, which requires the recognition of the fair value of
stock-based compensation in net earnings. The Company adopted
SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective
application transition method and therefore the Companys
prior period consolidated financial statements have not been
restated and do not reflect the recognition of stock-based
compensation costs. Prior to the Companys adoption of
SFAS No. 123(R), it accounted for stock options under
the disclosure-only provision of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, as amended by
SFAS No. 148. Under the disclosure-only provision of
SFAS No. 123, no compensation cost was recognized for
stock options granted prior to January 1, 2006.
SFAS No. 123(R) applies to options granted or modified
on or after January 1, 2006. Additionally, compensation
costs for options that were unvested as of January 1, 2006
must be recognized over their remaining service period. See
Note 21 for further discussion.

Invalidation
of
Altace®
Patent
|
In September 2007, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for
the Federal Circuit (the Circuit Court) declared
invalid U.S. Patent No. 5,061,722 (the 722
Patent) that covered the Companys
Altace®
product, overruling the decision of the U.S. District Court
for the Eastern District of Virginia (the District
Court), which had upheld the validity of the patent. The
Company filed with the Circuit Court a petition for rehearing
and rehearing en banc, but this petition was denied in
December 2007. The Circuit Court issued the mandate to the
District Court on December 10, 2007, beginning the
180-day
Hatch-Waxman exclusive marketing period for the first generic
competitor who entered the market in December 2007 with a
generic substitute for the Companys
Altace®
capsules. Following this
180-day
period of exclusivity, the Company anticipates additional
competitors will enter the market with generic substitutes for
the Companys
Altace®
capsules. The Company launched a tablet formulation of
Altace®
in February 2008. For additional information regarding this
legal proceeding, please see Note 19.
The entry of generic
Altace®
capsules into the market will cause the Companys net sales
of
Altace®
to decline significantly beginning in 2008. As a result, the
Company has recorded charges in 2007 of $146,444 associated with
Altace®
intangible assets, $78,812 associated with
Altace®
inventory and $25,755 associated with minimum purchase
commitments for excess
Altace®
raw material. Net sales of
Altace®
were $645,989 in 2007. For additional information regarding the
Altace®
intangible assets, please see Note 11. For additional
information regarding
Altace®
inventory, please see Note 8. For additional information
regarding minimum purchase commitments for

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Companys calculation of its product returns reserves
is based on historical sales and return rates over the period
during which customers have a right of return. The Company also
considers current wholesale inventory levels of the
Companys products. Based on data received pursuant to the
Companys inventory management agreements with its three
key wholesale customers, there was a significant reduction of
wholesale inventory levels of the Companys products during
the first quarter of 2005. This reduction was primarily due to
sales to retail outlets by the Companys wholesale
customers, not returns of these products to the Company. This
reduction resulted in a change in estimate during the first
quarter of 2005 that decreased the Companys reserve for
returns by approximately $20,000 and increased net sales from
branded pharmaceuticals, excluding the adjustment to sales
classified as discontinued operations, by the same amount.
During the second quarter of 2005, the Company decreased its
reserve for returns by approximately $5,000 and increased its
net sales from branded pharmaceuticals, excluding the adjustment
to sales classified as discontinued operations, by the same
amount as a result of an additional reduction in wholesale
inventory levels of the Companys branded products.
During the third quarter of 2005, the Companys actual
returns of branded pharmaceutical products continued to decrease
significantly compared to actual returns during the quarterly
periods in 2004 and the first quarter of 2005. Additionally,
based on data received pursuant to the Companys inventory
management agreements with its key wholesale customers, the
Company continued to experience normalized wholesale inventory
levels of its branded pharmaceutical products during the third
quarter of 2005. Accordingly, the Company believed that the rate
of returns experienced during the second and third quarters of
2005 was more indicative of what it should expect in future
quarters and adjusted its reserve for returns accordingly. This
change in estimate resulted in a decrease of approximately
$15,000 in the reserve for returns in the third quarter of 2005
and a corresponding increase in net sales from branded
pharmaceutical products, excluding the adjustment to sales
classified as discontinued operations. As a result of this
increase in net sales, the co-promotion expense related to net
sales of
Altace®
in the third quarter of 2005 increased by approximately $5,000.
The effect of the change in estimate on third quarter 2005
operating income was, therefore, approximately $10,000.
Because actual returns related to sales in prior periods were
lower than the Companys original estimates, it recorded a
decrease in its reserve for returns in the first quarter of 2007
and the first quarter of 2006. During the first quarter of 2007,
the Company decreased its reserve for returns by approximately
$8,000 and increased its net sales from branded pharmaceuticals,
excluding the adjustment to sales classified as discontinued
operations, by the same amount. The effect of the change in
estimate on first quarter 2007 operating income was an increase
of approximately $5,000. During the first quarter of 2006, the
Company decreased its reserve for returns by approximately
$8,000 and increased its net sales from branded pharmaceuticals,
excluding the adjustment to sales classified as discontinued
operations, by the same amount. The effect of the change in
estimate on first quarter 2006 operating income was an increase
of approximately $6,000.
As a result of the Companys previously disclosed
determination that it underpaid amounts due to Medicaid and
other government pricing programs from 1998 through 2002, as
further discussed in Note 19, the Company refined its
calculation of the Average Manufacturers Price
(AMP) and Best Price in compliance with federal laws
and regulations. During the third quarter of 2005, the Company
began reporting to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services using the refined calculation for computing AMP and
Best Price. In addition, during the third quarter of 2005, the
Company recalculated rebates due with respect to prior quarters
utilizing the refined AMP and Best Price calculations. As a
result of this updated information, during the third quarter of
2005, the Company decreased its reserve for estimated Medicaid
and other government pricing program obligations and increased
net sales from branded pharmaceutical products by approximately
$21,000, approximately $8,000 of which related to prior years.
This does not include the adjustment to sales classified as
discontinued operations. As a result of the increase in net
sales, the co-promotion expense related
F-12
KING
PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
to net sales of
Altace®
increased by approximately $6,000, approximately $4,000 of which
related to prior years. The effect of this change in estimate on
operating income was, therefore, approximately $15,000,
approximately $4,000 of which related to prior years.
During the third quarter of 2006, the Company reduced its rebate
expense and increased net sales from branded pharmaceutical
products by approximately $9,300 due to the determination that a
liability established in 2005 for a government pricing program
for military dependents and retirees was no longer probable.
The Companys investments in marketable securities as of
the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, consisted of

During 2007, the Company determined that an other than temporary
impairment had occurred on this investment and recorded a charge
of $11,107, resulting in a cost basis of $1,135 as of
December 31, 2007. The Company also recorded an other than
temporary impairment of $484 during 2007 on its investment in
warrants to purchase common stock.
On July 19, 2004, the Company and Novavax, Inc.
(Novavax) mutually agreed to end their co-promotion
and license agreements regarding
Estrasorbtm.
As a result of this transaction, King owned approximately
4,100,931 shares of common stock of Novavax that the
Company accounted for as available for sale securities. As of
March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, the Company
determined the decline in fair value of the Companys
equity interest in Novavax was other than temporary and recorded
charges of $6,853 and $369, respectively, which is reflected in
loss on investment in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. During the third quarter of 2005, the Company sold
its equity interest in Novavax resulting in a gain on the sale
of $1,040.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued FASB Interpretations No. 46, Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting
Research Bulletin No. 51 (ARB No. 51), in
January 2003, and a further interpretation of FIN 46 in
December 2003
(FIN 46-R,
and collectively FIN 46). FIN 46 clarifies the
application of ARB No. 51, Consolidated Financial
Statements, to certain entities in which equity investors do
not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest
or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to
finance its activities without additional subordinated financial
support from other parties, referred to as variable interest
entities (VIE). While the Company has or has had
interests in Novavax and Palatin, the Company is not considered
the primary beneficiary of these entities. Therefore, in
accordance with the provisions of FIN No. 46, the
Company has not consolidated the financial statements of those
entities into the Companys consolidated financial
statements.

The significant decrease in accounts receivable at
December 31, 2007 from December 31, 2006 is primarily
due to the timing of sales within the year. Sales to our three
major pharmaceutical wholesale customers represented
approximately 75% of total gross sales in 2007. The timing of
orders from these customers can vary within a quarter and can
have a material effect on our accounts receivable balance and
cash flows from operations.

In December 2007, the Companys 722 Patent that
covered the Companys
Altace®
product was invalidated by the Circuit Court. For additional
information please see Note 3. As a result of the
invalidation of the 722 Patent, the Company undertook an
analysis of its potential effect on future net sales of
Altace®.
Based upon that analysis, the Company concluded that it has more
Altace®
raw material inventory than is required to meet anticipated
future demand for the product. Accordingly, during 2007 the
Company recorded charges in the amount of (i) $78,812 for
an inventory valuation allowance for a portion of the
Altace®
raw material inventory on hand; and (ii) $25,755 for a
portion of the Companys estimated remaining minimum
purchase requirements for excess
Altace®
raw material. These charges are included in cost of revenues
exclusive of depreciation, amortization and impairments on the
Consolidated Statements of Income. For additional information
regarding the Companys minimum purchase commitments for
Altace®
raw material, please see Note 19.

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2007,

which includes, $7,209, $6,815, and $7,845, respectively,
related to computer software.
In July 2007, the Company entered into an asset purchase
agreement with JHP Pharmaceuticals, LLC (JHP),
pursuant to which JHP acquired the Companys Rochester,
Michigan sterile manufacturing facility, some of the
Companys legacy products that are manufactured there and
the related contract manufacturing business. The Company
retained its stand-alone
Bicillin®
(sterile penicillin products) manufacturing facility which is
also located in Rochester, Michigan. For additional discussion,
please see Note 10.
During 2006, the Company decided to proceed with the
implementation of its plan to streamline manufacturing
activities in order to improve operating efficiency and reduce
costs, including the decision to transfer the production of
Levoxyl®
from its St. Petersburg, Florida facility to its Bristol,
Tennessee facility, which the Company expects to complete in
early 2009. The Company believes that the assets associated with
the St. Petersburg facility are not currently impaired based on
estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with these assets.
However, during 2006, the Company shortened the estimated useful
lives of assets at the St. Petersburg facility and therefore
accelerated the depreciation of these assets. For additional
discussion, please see Note 25.
The net book value of some of the Companys manufacturing
facilities currently exceeds fair market value. Management
currently believes that the long-term assets associated with
these facilities are not impaired based on estimated
undiscounted future cash flows. However, if the Company were to
approve a plan to sell or close any of the facilities for which
the carrying value exceeds fair market value, the Company would
have to write off a portion of the assets or reduce the
estimated useful life of the assets which would accelerate
depreciation.

In October 2007, the Company and Acura Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. (Acura) entered into a License, Development and
Commercialization Agreement to develop and commercialize certain
opioid analgesic

KING
PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO

products utilizing Acuras proprietary
Aversion®
(abuse-deterrent/abuse-resistant) Technology in the United
States, Canada and Mexico. The agreement provides the Company an
exclusive license to
Acuroxtm
(oxycodone HCl, niacin and a unique combination of other
ingredients) tablets and another undisclosed opioid product
utilizing Acuras
Aversion®
Technology. In addition, the agreement provides the Company with
an option to license all future opioid analgesic products
developed utilizing Acuras
Aversion®
Technology.
In December 2007, the Company made a non-refundable cash
payment of $30,000 to Acura. Under the terms of the agreement,
the Company will reimburse Acura for all research and
development expenses incurred beginning from September 19,
2007 for
Acuroxtm
tablets and all research and development expenses related to
future products after exercise of its option to an exclusive
license for each future product. During January 2008, the
Company made an additional payment of $2,010 to Acura for
certain research and development expenses incurred by Acura
prior to the closing date. The Company may make additional
non-refundable cash milestone payments to Acura based on the
successful achievement of certain clinical and regulatory
milestones for
Acuroxtm
tablets and for each other product developed under the
agreement. The Company may also make an additional $50,000
non-refundable cash milestone payment to Acura when the
aggregate net sales of all products developed under the
agreement exceeds $750,000. In addition, the Company will make
royalty payments to Acura ranging from 5% to 25% based on the
combined annual net sales of all products developed under the
agreement.
In connection with the agreement with Acura, the Company
recognized the above payments of $32,010 as in-process research
and development expense during 2007. This amount was expensed as
the in-process research and development project had not received
regulatory approval and had no alternative future use. The
in-process research and development project is part of the
branded pharmaceutical segment.
Acuroxtm
is currently in Phase III of clinical development. The
Company believes there is a reasonable probability of completing
the project successfully. However the success of the project
depends on the outcome of the Phase III clinical
development program and approval by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA). The estimated cost to complete
the project at the execution of the agreement was approximately
$9,000. If the Phase III clinical development program is
successful, the Company would expect to obtain FDA approval in
2009 or 2010.
In October 2007, the Company sold its Rochester, Michigan
sterile manufacturing facility, some of its legacy products that
are manufactured there, and the related contract manufacturing
business to JHP Pharmaceuticals, LLC for $91,663, less selling
costs of $5,387, resulting in a loss of $46,354. The companies
also entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement pursuant
to which JHP will provide certain fill and finish manufacturing
activities with respect to the Companys hemostatic product
Thrombin-JMI®.
The Company retained its stand-alone
Bicillin®

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
In August 2004, the Company entered into a Collaborative
Development and Marketing Agreement (the Agreement)
with Palatin Technologies, Inc. (Palatin), to
jointly develop and, on obtaining necessary regulatory
approvals, commercialize Palatins bremelanotide compound,
which was formerly known as PT-141, for the treatment of male
and female sexual dysfunction, for $20,000 plus acquisition
costs of $498. At the time of closing King received 1,176,125
shares of Palatin common stock and 235,225 warrants for the
right to purchase Palatin common stock. Of the total purchase
price, $3,093 was allocated to the common stock, $260 was
allocated to the warrants, and the remaining $17,145 was
allocated to in-process research and development. During the
third quarter of 2005, King invested an additional $10,000 in
Palatin under the terms of this collaboration agreement. King
received 4,499,336 shares of common stock and 719,894
warrants for the right to purchase Palatin Technologies, Inc.
common stock. Of the total investment, $9,149 was allocated to
the common stock and $851 was allocated to the warrants.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Palatin granted the
Company a co-exclusive license with Palatin to bremelanotide in
North America and an exclusive right to collaborate in the
licensing or sublicensing of bremelanotide with Palatin outside
North America.
In August 2007, representatives of the FDA communicated serious
concerns about the lack of an acceptable benefit/risk ratio to
support the progression of the proposed bremelanotide program
into Phase III studies for erectile dysfunction
(ED). After reviewing the data generated in the
Phase I and II studies, the FDA questioned the overall efficacy
results and the clinical benefit of this product in both the
general and diabetic ED populations, and cited blood pressure
increases as its greatest safety concern.
In light of the FDAs comments, and after discussions with
Palatin, in September 2007, the Company provided notice to
Palatin that the Company was terminating the Agreement. The
termination became effective in December 2007. The Company
has no further obligation to Palatin other than various
immaterial obligations related to the wind-down of the
collaboration.
At December 31, 2007, the Company holds 5,675,461 shares of
common stock of Palatin as well as 719,894 warrants to purchase
Palatin common stock. For additional information, please see
Note 5.
In May 2007, the Company entered into a Product Development
Agreement with Mutual Pharmaceutical Company
(Mutual) and United Research Laboratories
(United) to jointly research and develop one or more
improved formulations of metaxalone. Under this agreement, the
Company sought Mutuals expertise in developing improved
formulations of metaxalone, including certain improved
formulations Mutual developed prior to execution of this
agreement and access to Mutuals and Uniteds rights
in intellectual property pertaining to these formulations. The
Company paid $3,100 to Mutual for previously incurred
development expenses, which was recorded as in-process research
and development in the branded pharmaceutical segment.
Development activities under this agreement ceased in
December 2007.
In September 2006, the Company entered into a definitive
asset purchase agreement and related agreements with Ligand
Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (Ligand) to acquire
rights to Ligands product
Avinza®
(morphine sulfate extended release).
Avinza®
is an extended release formulation of morphine and is indicated
as a once-daily treatment for moderate to severe pain in
patients who require continuous opioid therapy for an extended
period of time. The Company completed its acquisition of
Avinza®
on February 26, 2007, acquiring all the rights to
Avinza®
in the United States, its territories and Canada. Under the
terms of the asset purchase agreement the purchase price was
$289,732, consisting of $289,332 in cash consideration and $400
for the assumption of a short-term liability. Additionally, the
Company incurred acquisition costs of $6,765. Of the cash
payments made to Ligand, $15,000 was set aside in an escrow
account to fund potential liabilities Ligand could later owe the
Company, of which $7,500 was released to Ligand in each the
third quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008.
As part of the transaction, the Company has agreed to pay Ligand
an ongoing royalty and assume payment of Ligands royalty
obligations to third parties. The royalty the Company will pay
to Ligand consists
F-17
KING
PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
of a 15% royalty during the first 20 months after the
closing date. Subsequent royalty payments to Ligand will be
based upon calendar year net sales of
Avinza®
as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
If calendar year net sales are less than $200,000 the royalty
payment will be 5% of all net sales.
|
|
|
|
If calendar year net sales are greater than $200,000 then the
royalty payment will be 10% of all net sales up to $250,000,
plus 15% of net sales greater than $250,000.
|
In connection with the transaction, in October 2006, the
Company entered into a loan agreement with Ligand for the amount
of $37,750. The principal amount of the loan was to be used
solely for the purpose of paying a specific liability related to
Avinza®.
The loan was subject to certain market terms, including a 9.5%
interest rate and security interest in the assets that comprise
Avinza®
and certain of the proceeds of Ligands sale of certain
assets. In January 2007, Ligand repaid the principal amount
of the loan of $37,750 and accrued interest of $883. Pursuant to
the terms of the loan agreement with Ligand, the Company forgave
the interest on the loan and repaid Ligand the interest at the
time of closing the transaction to acquire
Avinza®.
Accordingly, the Company has not recognized interest income on
the related note receivable.

At the time of the acquisition, the intangible assets were
assigned useful lives of 10.75 years. The acquisition is
allocated to the branded pharmaceuticals segment. The goodwill
recognized in this transaction is expected to be fully
deductible for tax purposes. The Company financed the
acquisition using available cash on hand.
In January 2007, the Company obtained an exclusive license
to certain hemostatic products owned by Vascular Solutions, Inc.
(Vascular Solutions), including products which the
Company markets as
Thrombi-PadTM
and
Thrombi-Gel®.
The license also includes a product the Company expects to
market as
Thrombi-PasteTM,
which is currently in development. Each of these products
includes the Companys
Thrombin-JMI®
topical hemostatic agent product as a component. Vascular
Solutions will manufacture the products for the Company. Upon
acquisition of the license, the Company made an initial payment
to Vascular Solutions of $6,000, a portion of which is
refundable in the event FDA approval for certain of these
products is not received. During the second quarter of 2007, the
Company made an additional milestone payment of $1,000. In
addition, the Company could make additional milestone payments
of up to a total of $1,000.
In March 2006, the Company acquired the exclusive right to
market and sell
EpiPen®
throughout Canada and other specific assets from Allerex
Laboratory LTD (Allerex). Under the terms of the
agreements, the initial purchase price was $23,924, plus
acquisition costs of $682. As an additional component of the
purchase price, the Company will pay Allerex an earn-out equal
to a percentage of future sales of
EpiPen®
in Canada over a fixed period of time. As these additional
payments accrue, the Company will increase intangible assets by
the amount of the accrual. As of December 31, 2007, the
Company has incurred a total of $5,371 for these earn-out
payments. The aggregate of these payments will not exceed
$13,164.

At the time of the acquisition, the intangible assets were
assigned useful lives of 9.8 years. The acquisition is
allocated to the Meridian
Auto-Injector
segment. The Company financed the acquisition using available
cash on hand.
In February 2006, the Company entered into a collaboration
with Arrow International Limited and certain of its affiliates,
excluding Cobalt Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (collectively,
Arrow), to commercialize one or more novel
formulations of ramipril, the active ingredient in the
Companys
Altace®
product. Under a series of agreements, Arrow granted King rights
to certain current and future New Drug Applications regarding
novel formulations of ramipril and intellectual property,
including patent rights and technology licenses relating to
these novel formulations. Arrow will have responsibility for the
manufacture and supply of the new formulations of ramipril for
King. However, under certain conditions King may manufacture and
supply the formulations of ramipril.
Upon execution of the agreements, King made an initial payment
to Arrow of $35,000. During the fourth quarter of 2006 and the
first quarter and second quarters of 2007, the Company made
additional payments of $25,000 in each of the three quarters to
Arrow. Additionally, Arrow will earn fees for the manufacture
and supply of the new formulations of ramipril.
In connection with the agreement with Arrow, the Company
recognized the above payments and future payments totaling
$110,000 as in-process research and development expense during
2006. This amount was expensed as in-process research and
development as the project had not received regulatory approval
and had no alternative future use. The in-process research and
development project is part of the branded pharmaceutical
segment. This project includes a New Drug Application
(NDA) filed by Arrow for a tablet formulation of
ramipril in January 2006 (the Ramipril Application).
At the time of the acquisition, the success of the project was
dependent on additional development activities and FDA approval.
The FDA approved the Ramipril Application on February 27,
2007. Arrow granted the Company an exclusive option to acquire
their entire right, title and interest to the Ramipril
Application or any future filed amended Ramipril Application for
the amount of $5,000. In April 2007, the Company exercised its
option and paid $5,000 to Arrow. As a result, the Company owns
the entire right, title and interest in and to the NDA. The
Company launched the
Altace®
tablet formulation during the first quarter of 2008.
In June 2000, the Company entered into a Co-Promotion
Agreement with Wyeth to promote
Altace®
in the United States and Puerto Rico through October 29,
2008, with possible extensions as outlined in the Co-Promotion
Agreement. Under the agreement, Wyeth paid an upfront fee of
$75,000 to King, which was classified as a liability and is
being amortized over the term of the agreement as amended. In
connection with the Co-Promotion Agreement, the Company agreed
to pay Wyeth a promotional fee based on annual net sales of
Altace®.
In July 2006 the Company entered into an Amended and
Restated Co-Promotion Agreement (Amended Co-Promotion
Agreement) with Wyeth regarding
Altace®
which extended the term to December 31, 2010. Effective
January 1, 2007, the Company assumed full responsibility
for selling and marketing
Altace®.
For the full 2006 year, the Wyeth sales force co-promoted
the product with King and Wyeth shared

in the marketing expenses. Under the Amended Co-Promotion
Agreement, the Company will pay or has paid Wyeth a reduced
annual fee as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
For 2006, 15% of
Altace®
net sales up to $165,000, 42.5% of
Altace®
net sales in excess of $165,000 and less than or equal to
$465,000, and 52.5% of
Altace®
net sales that are in excess of $465,000 and less than or equal
to $585,000.
|
|
|
|
For 2007, 30% of
Altace®
net sales, with the fee not to exceed $178,500.
|
|
|
|
For 2008, 22.5% of
Altace®
net sales, with the fee not to exceed $134,000.
|
|
|
|
For 2009, 14.2% of
Altace®
net sales, with the fee not to exceed $84,500.
|
|
|
|
For 2010, 25% of
Altace®
net sales, with the fee not to exceed $5,000.
|
The annual fee is accrued quarterly based on a percentage of
Altace®
net sales at a rate equal to the expected relationship of the
expected fee for the year to applicable expected
Altace®
net sales for the year.
In December 2005, the Company entered into a co-exclusive
license agreement with Mutual Pharmaceutical Company, Inc.
(Mutual). Under the terms of the agreement, each of
the parties has granted the other a worldwide license to certain
intellectual property, including patent rights and know-how,
relating to metaxalone. The intellectual property licensed to
King relates to the potential for improved dosing and
administration of metaxalone. The Company paid Mutual an upfront
payment of $35,000 and began paying royalties on net sales of
products containing metaxalone on January 1, 2006. This
royalty increased in the fourth quarter of 2006 due to the
achievement of a certain milestone and may continue to increase
depending on the achievement of certain regulatory and
commercial milestones in the future.
In connection with the license agreement with Mutual, the
upfront payment of $35,000 has been classified as in-process
research and development in the accompanying financial
statements. The intellectual property licensed to King relates
to the potential for improved dosing and administration of
metaxalone. The value of the in-process research and development
project was expensed on the date of acquisition as it had not
received regulatory approval. The in-process research and
development is part of the branded pharmaceutical segment.
During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company entered into a
strategic alliance with Pain Therapeutics, Inc. (Pain
Therapeutics) to develop and commercialize
Remoxytm
and other abuse-resistant opioid painkillers.
Remoxytm
is an investigational drug in late-stage clinical development by
Pain Therapeutics for the treatment of moderate to severe
chronic pain. The Company paid $150,000 on entry into the
strategic alliance plus acquisition costs of approximately
$3,700 and made a milestone payment of $5,000 in July 2006. In
addition, the Company could make additional milestone payments
of up to $145,000 in cash based on the successful clinical and
regulatory development of
Remoxytm
and other abuse-resistant opioid products. This includes a
$15,000 cash payment upon acceptance of a regulatory filing for
Remoxytm
and an additional $15,000 upon its approval. The Company is
responsible for all research and development expenses related to
this alliance. After regulatory approval and commercialization
of
Remoxytm
or other abuse-resistant opioid products developed through this
alliance, the Company will pay a royalty of 15% of cumulative
net sales up to $1,000,000 and 20% of cumulative net sales over
$1,000,000. King is also responsible for the payment of
third-party royalty obligations of Pain Therapeutics related to
products developed under this collaboration. The Company
determined Pain Therapeutics is a variable interest entity, but
the Company is not considered to be the primary beneficiary of
this entity. Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of
FIN No. 46, the Company has not consolidated the
financial statements of this entity into the Companys
consolidated financial statements.
In connection with the strategic alliance with Pain
Therapeutics, the initial collaboration fee and acquisition
costs of $153,711 were classified as in-process research and
development in the accompanying financial statements. The value
of the in-process research and development project was expensed
on the date
F-20
KING
PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
of acquisition as it had not received regulatory approval and
had no alternative future use.
Remoxytm
has successfully completed Phase III of clinical
development and Pain Therapeutics expects to file an NDA in the
second quarter of 2008. The Company currently anticipates
obtaining FDA approval in 2009. The Company believes there is a
reasonable probability of completing the project successfully.
However, the success of the project depends on regulatory
approval and the ability to successfully manufacture the
product. The in-process research and development is part of the
branded pharmaceutical segment.
In June 2003, the Company acquired the primary care
business of Elan Corporation, plc (Elan) and of some
of its subsidiaries in the United States and Puerto Rico,
including the rights to
Sonata®
and
Skelaxin®
and rights pertaining to potential new formulations of these
products, together with Elans United States primary care
field sales force. In connection with this acquisition, $163,416
was placed into escrow to satisfy the deferred obligations to
Wyeth that were assumed by the Company in connection with the
acquisition. Since the Company was entitled to the interest
income and can direct investments of the escrow fund, the
Company included the escrow amount in current restricted cash
and other long-term assets as restricted cash. The $163,416
placed into escrow was included in the purchase price as
liabilities acquired. These deferred obligations were payable on
a quarterly basis through March 2005. During 2005, 2004 and
2003, the deferred obligation paid to Wyeth from funds in escrow
was $29,605, $66,060 and $67,751, respectively.
In December 2002, the Company acquired the exclusive rights
to
Synercid®
from Sanofi-Aventis. As additional consideration to
Sanofi-Aventis for
Synercid®,
the Company agreed to potential milestone payments totaling
$75,000. On December 31, 2005, December 31, 2004, and
December 31, 2003, the Company paid Sanofi-Aventis
milestone payments of $18,600, $21,200, and $10,300,
respectively, for the continued recognition of
Synercid®
as an effective treatment for vancomycin-resistant enterococcus
faecium. The remaining $25,000 milestone is payable to
Sanofi-Aventis if
Synercid®
should receive FDA approval to treat methicillin resistant
staphylococcus aureus, or King will pay Sanofi-Aventis a
one-time payment of $5,000 the first time during any
twelve-month period net sales of
Synercid®
exceed $60,000, and a one-time payment of $20,000 the first time
during any twelve-month period net sales of
Synercid®
exceed $75,000.

In January 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with
CorePharma, LLC (CorePharma) providing CorePharma
with the right to launch an authorized generic version of
Skelaxin®
pursuant to a license in December 2012, or earlier under certain
conditions. As a result, the Company decreased the estimated
remaining useful life of Skelaxin.
In December 2007, the Companys 722 Patent that
covered the Companys
Altace®
product was invalidated by the Circuit Court. For additional
information please see Note 3. As a result of the
invalidation of the 722 Patent, the Company undertook an
analysis of its potential effect on future net sales of
Altace®.
Based upon that analysis, the Company reduced the estimated
remaining useful life of this product and forecasted net sales.
This decrease in estimated remaining useful life and forecasted
net sales reduced the estimated undiscounted future cash flows
associated with the
Altace®
intangible assets to a level below their carrying value.
Accordingly, the Company recorded an intangible asset impairment
charge of $146,444 during 2007 to reflect the estimated fair
value of these assets. The Company determined the fair value of
these assets based on estimated discounted future cash flows.
During the second quarter of 2007, the Company made the decision
to no longer pursue the development of a new formulation of
Intal®
utilizing hydroflouroalkane as a propellant. As a result, the
Company lowered its future sales forecast for this product in
the second quarter of 2007 and decreased the estimated remaining
useful life of the product. During the fourth quarter of 2006,
the Company lowered its future sales forecast for
Intal®
and
Tilade®
and decreased the estimated remaining useful life of the
products as a result of prescriptions not meeting expectations.
These decreases reduced the estimated undiscounted future cash
flows associated with the
Intal®
and
Tilade®
intangible assets to a level below their carrying value.
Accordingly, the Company recorded intangible asset impairment
charges of $29,259 during the second quarter of 2007 and $47,563
during the fourth quarter of 2006 to adjust the carrying value
of
Intal®
and
Tilade®
intangible assets on the Companys balance sheet to reflect
the estimated fair value of these assets. The Company determined
the fair value of the intangible assets associated with
Intal®
and
Tilade®
based on estimated discounted future cash flows.
New competitors to
Sonata®
entered the market during 2005. Prescriptions for
Sonata®
have not met expectations. As a result, the Company lowered its
future sales forecast for this product in both the second and
fourth quarters of 2005, which decreased the estimated
undiscounted future cash flows associated with the
Sonata®
intangible assets to a level below their carrying values as of
those dates. Accordingly, the Company recorded intangible asset
impairment charges of $126,923 and $42,582 during the second and
fourth quarters of 2005, respectively, to adjust the carrying
value of the
Sonata®
intangible assets on the Companys balance sheet to reflect
the estimated fair value of these assets. The Company determined
the fair value of the intangible assets associated with
Sonata®
based on its estimated discounted future cash flows as of those
dates.
As a result of a continuing decline in
Corzide®
prescriptions and the anticipation of additional competition in
the future, the Company lowered its future sales forecast for
this product which decreased the estimated undiscounted future
cash flows associated with the
Corzide®
intangible assets to a level below their carrying value.
Accordingly, the Company recorded an intangible asset impairment
charge of $43,243 during the fourth quarter of 2005 to adjust
the carrying value of the
Corzide®
intangible assets on the Companys balance sheet to reflect
the estimated fair value of these assets. The Company determined
the fair value of the intangible assets associated with
Corzide®
based on its estimated discounted future cash flows.
As a result of a continuing decline in end-user demand for
Synercid®
outside of the United States, the Company determined the
estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with sales
of this product outside of the United States were at a level
below their carrying value of the
Synercid®
intangible assets that are assigned to the markets for this drug
outside of the United States. Accordingly, the Company recorded
an intangible asset impairment charge of $8,306 during the
fourth quarter of 2005 to adjust the carrying value of these
Synercid®
intangible assets on the Companys balance sheet to reflect
the estimated fair value of these

assets. The Company determined the fair value of the intangible
assets associated with the markets for
Synercid®
outside the United States based on their estimated discounted
future cash flows.
Altace®,
Intal®,
Tilade®,
Sonata®,
Corzide®,
and
Synercid®
are included in the Companys branded pharmaceuticals
reporting segment.
As of December 31, 2007, the net intangible assets
associated with
Synercid®
totals approximately $76,368. The Company believes that these
intangible assets are not currently impaired based on estimated
undiscounted cash flows associated with these assets. However,
if the Companys current estimates regarding future cash
flows adversely change, the Company may have to reduce the
estimated remaining useful life
and/or write
off a portion or all of these intangible assets.

(a) |
|
During the first quarter of 2006, the Company issued $400,000 of
11/4% Convertible
Senior Notes due April 1, 2026 (Notes). The
Notes are unsecured obligations and are guaranteed by each of
the Companys domestic subsidiaries on a joint and several
basis. The Notes accrue interest at an initial rate of
11/4%.
Beginning with the six-month interest period that commences on
April 1, 2013, the Company will pay additional interest
during any six-month interest period if the average trading
price of the Notes during the five consecutive trading days
ending on the second trading day immediately preceding the first
day of such six-month period equals 120% or more of the
principal amount of the Notes. Interest is payable on April 1
and October 1 of each year, beginning October 1, 2006. |
|
|
|
On or after April 5, 2013, the Company may redeem for cash
some or all of the Notes at any time at a price equal to 100% of
the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus any
accrued and unpaid interest, and liquidated damages, if any, to
but excluding the date fixed for redemption. Holders may require
the Company to purchase for cash some or all of their Notes on
April 1, 2013, April 1, 2016 and April 1, 2021,
or upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (such as a change
of control or a termination of trading), at 100% of the
principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus any accrued
and unpaid interest, and liquidated damages, if any, to but
excluding the purchase date. |
|
|
|
Prior to April 1, 2012, the Notes are convertible under the
following circumstances: |
|
|
|
if the price of the Companys common stock reaches a
specified threshold during specified periods, |
|
|
|
if the Notes have been called for redemption, or |
|
|
|
if specified corporate transactions or other specified
events occur. |
|
|
|
The Notes are convertible at any time on and after April 1,
2012, until the close of business on the business day
immediately preceding maturity. Subject to certain exceptions,
the Company will deliver cash and shares of the Companys
common stock, as follows: (i) an amount in cash equal to
the lesser of (a) the principal amount of Notes surrendered
for conversion and (b) the product of the conversion rate
and the average price of the Companys common stock (the
conversion value), and (ii) if the conversion
value is greater than the principal amount, a specified amount
in cash or shares of the Companys common stock, at the
Companys election. The initial conversion price is
approximately $20.83 per share of common stock. If certain
corporate transactions occur on or prior to April 1, 2013,
the Company will increase the conversion rate in certain
circumstances. |

(b) |
|
During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company issued $345,000
of
23/4% Convertible

On April 23, 2002, the Company established a $400,000
five-year Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility which was
scheduled to mature in April 2007 (the 2002 Credit
Facility). On April 19, 2007, this facility was
terminated and replaced with a new $475,000 five-year Senior
Secured Revolving Credit Facility which matures in April 2012
(the 2007 Credit Facility). The 2007 Credit Facility
is collateralized by a pledge of 100% of the equity of most of
the Companys domestic subsidiaries and by a pledge of 65%
of the equity of the Companys foreign subsidiaries. The
Companys obligations under this facility are
unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by four of the
Companys subsidiaries, King Pharmaceuticals Research and
Development, Inc., Monarch Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Meridian
Medical Technologies, Inc., and Parkedale Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
The 2007 Credit Facility accrues interest either, at the
Companys option, (a) at the base rate, which is based
on the greater of (1) the prime rate or (2) the
federal funds rate plus one-half of 1%, plus an applicable
spread ranging from 0.0% to 0.5% (based on a leverage ratio), or
(b) at the applicable LIBOR rate plus an applicable spread
ranging from 0.875% to 1.50% (based on a leverage ratio). In
addition, the lenders under the 2007 Credit Facility are
entitled to customary facility fees based on (x) unused
commitments under the facility and (y) letters of credit
outstanding. The facility provides availability for the issuance
of up to $30,000 in letters of credit. The Company incurred
$1,527 of deferred financing costs in connection with the
establishment of this facility, which the Company will amortize
over five years, the life of the facility. This facility
requires the Company to maintain a minimum net worth of no less
than $1,500,000 plus 50% of the Companys consolidated net
income for each fiscal quarter after April 19, 2007,
excluding any fiscal quarter for which consolidated income is
negative; an EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization) to interest expense ratio of no
less than 3.00 to 1.00; and a funded debt to EBITDA ratio of no
greater than 3.50 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2007, the
Company has complied with these covenants. |
Amortization expense related to deferred financing costs was
$2,056, $2,874 and $3,096 for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively,
and is included in interest expense.
For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the
Company capitalized interest of approximately $279, $1,243, and
$1,720, respectively, related to construction in process.
Accrued interest as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 was
$1,236 and $1,236, respectively.

Fen/Phen
Litigation
Many distributors, marketers and manufacturers of anorexigenic
drugs have been subject to claims relating to the use of these
drugs. Generally, the lawsuits allege that the defendants
(1) misled users of the products with respect to the
dangers associated with them, (2) failed to adequately test
the products and (3) knew or should have known about the
negative effects of the drugs, and should have informed the
public about the risks of such negative effects. Claims include
product liability, breach of warranty, misrepresentation and
negligence. The actions have been filed in various state and
federal jurisdictions throughout the United States. A
multi-district litigation (MDL) court has been
established in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, In re Fen-Phen
Litigation. The plaintiffs seek, among other things,
compensatory and punitive damages
and/or
court-supervised medical monitoring of persons who have ingested
these products.
The Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, King Research and
Development, is a defendant in approximately 60 multi-plaintiff
(approximately 1,100 plaintiffs) lawsuits involving the
manufacture and sale of dexfenfluramine, fenfluramine and
phentermine. These lawsuits have been filed in various
jurisdictions throughout the United States and in each of these
lawsuits King Research and Development, as the successor to
Jones Pharma Incorporated (Jones), is one of many
defendants, including manufacturers and other distributors of
these drugs. Although Jones did not at any time manufacture
dexfenfluramine, fenfluramine, or phentermine, Jones was a
distributor of a generic phentermine product and, after its
acquisition of Abana Pharmaceuticals, was a distributor of
Obenix®,
Abanas branded phentermine product. The manufacturer of
the phentermine purchased by Jones filed for bankruptcy
protection and is no longer in business. The plaintiffs in these
cases, in addition to the claims described above, claim injury
as a result of ingesting a combination of these weight-loss
drugs and are seeking compensatory and punitive damages as well
as medical care and court-supervised medical monitoring. The
plaintiffs claim liability based on a variety of theories,
including, but not limited to, product liability, strict
liability, negligence, breach of warranty, fraud and
misrepresentation.
King Research and Development denies any liability incident to
Jones distribution and sale of
Obenix®
or Jones generic phentermine product. King Research and
Developments insurance carriers are currently defending
King Research and Development in these lawsuits. The
manufacturers of fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine have settled
many of these cases. As a result of these settlements, King
Research and Development has routinely received voluntarily
dismissals without the payment of settlement proceeds. In the
event that King Research and Developments insurance
coverage is inadequate to satisfy any resulting liability, King
Research and Development will have to assume defense of these
lawsuits and be responsible for the damages, if any, that are
awarded against it.

KING
PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
While the Company cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits,
management believes that the claims against King Research and
Development are without merit and intends to vigorously pursue
all defenses available. The Company is unable to disclose an
aggregate dollar amount of damages claimed because many of these
complaints are multi-party suits and do not state specific
damage amounts. Rather, these claims typically state damages as
may be determined by the court or similar language and state no
specific amount of damages against King Research and
Development. Consequently, the Company cannot reasonably
estimate possible losses related to the lawsuits.
In addition, the Company is one of many defendants in six
multi-plaintiff lawsuits that claim damages for personal injury
arising from its production of the anorexigenic drug phentermine
under contract for GlaxoSmithKline. While the Company cannot
predict the outcome of these suits, the Company believes that
the claims against it are without merit and the Company intends
to pursue all defenses available to it. The Company is being
indemnified in the six lawsuits by GlaxoSmithKline, for which
the Company manufactured the anorexigenic product, provided that
neither the lawsuits nor the associated liabilities are based
upon the Companys independent negligence or intentional
acts. The Company intends to submit a claim for any unreimbursed
costs to its product liability insurance carrier. However, in
the event that GlaxoSmithKline is unable to satisfy or fulfill
its obligations under the indemnity, the Company would have to
assume defense of the lawsuits and be responsible for damages,
fees and expenses, if any, that are awarded against it or for
amounts in excess of the Companys product liability
coverage. A reasonable estimate of possible losses related to
these suits cannot be made.
Thimerosal
/Childrens Vaccine Litigation
The Company and Parkedale Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company (Parkedale), were named as
defendants in lawsuits filed in California, Mississippi and
Illinois (Madison County), along with other pharmaceutical
companies. The first of these lawsuits was filed in November
2001. Most of the defendants manufactured or sold the
mercury-based preservative thimerosal or manufactured or sold
childrens vaccines containing thimerosal. The Company did
not manufacture or sell thimerosal or a childrens vaccine
that contained thimerosal. For two years the Company did
manufacture and sell an influenza vaccine that contained
thimerosal. None of the plaintiffs alleged taking the
Companys influenza vaccine.
All claims against the Company and Parkedale in the
childrens vaccine litigation have been voluntarily
dismissed without prejudice due, among other matters, to lack of
product identification. These claims were dismissed without the
payment of any settlement proceeds. Although these claims could
be filed again, the Company does not believe that re-filing is
likely.
Hormone
Replacement Therapy
Currently, the Company is named as a defendant by 23 plaintiffs
in lawsuits involving the manufacture and sale of hormone
replacement therapy drugs. The first of these lawsuits was filed
in July 2004. Numerous other pharmaceutical companies have also
been sued. The Company was sued by approximately 800 plaintiffs,
but most of those claims were voluntarily dismissed or dismissed
by the Court for lack of product identification. These remaining
23 lawsuits were filed in Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Maryland, Mississippi and
Minnesota. A federal multidistrict litigation court
(MDL) has been established in Little Rock, Arkansas,
In re: Prempro Products Liability Litigation, and all of
the plaintiffs claims have been transferred and are
pending in that Court except for one lawsuit pending in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania State Court. Many of these plaintiffs
allege that the Company and other defendants failed to conduct
adequate research and testing before the sale of the products
and post-sale monitoring to establish the safety and efficacy of
the long-term hormone therapy regimen and, as a result, misled
consumers when marketing their products. Plaintiffs also allege
negligence, strict liability, design defect, breach of implied
warranty, breach of express warranty, fraud and
misrepresentation. Discovery of the plaintiffs claims

the Company has begun but is limited to document discovery. No
trial has occurred in the hormone replacement therapy litigation
against the Company or any other defendants except Wyeth and
Pfizer. The MDL trials against Wyeth have resulted in verdicts
for Wyeth with the exception of one trial. The Philadelphia
trials have resulted in one verdict for and several verdicts
adverse to Wyeth. All of the verdicts adverse to Wyeth have been
set aside based on post-trial motions. Wyeth recently lost a
large verdict in Nevada but the appeal status of that verdict
has not been fully determined. Pfizers only trial, in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, resulted in a plaintiffs
verdict. The Company does not expect to have any trials set in
the next year. The Company intends to defend these lawsuits
vigorously but is currently unable to predict the outcome or to
reasonably estimate the range of potential loss, if any. The
Company may have limited insurance for these claims. The Company
would have to assume defense of the lawsuits and be responsible
for damages, fees and expenses, if any, that are awarded against
it or for amounts in excess of the Companys product
liability coverage.
Average
Wholesale Price Litigation
In August 2004, the Company and Monarch Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
(Monarch), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
were named as defendants along with 44 other pharmaceutical
manufacturers in an action brought by the City of New York
(NYC) in Federal Court in the state of New York. NYC
claims that the defendants fraudulently inflated their average
wholesale prices (AWP) and fraudulently failed to
accurately report their best prices and their
average manufacturers prices and failed to pay proper
rebates pursuant to federal law. Additional claims allege
violations of federal and New York statutes, fraud and unjust
enrichment. For the period from 1992 to the present, NYC is
requesting money damages, civil penalties, declaratory and
injunctive relief, restitution, disgorgement of profits, and
treble and punitive damages. The United States District Court
for the District of Massachusetts has been established as the
MDL Court for the case, In re: Pharmaceutical Industry
Average Wholesale Pricing Litigation (the MDL).
Since the filing of the New York City case, forty-seven New York
counties have filed lawsuits against the pharmaceutical
industry, including the Company and Monarch. All of these
lawsuits are currently pending in the MDL Court in the District
of Massachusetts except for the Erie, Oswego and Schenectady
cases, which were removed in October 2006 and remanded to State
Court in September 2007. The allegations in all of these cases
are virtually the same as the allegations in the New York City
case. A First Amended Consolidated Complaint was filed for most
of the New York counties. Motions to dismiss were granted in
part and denied in part for all defendants in all New York City
and County cases pending in the MDL. The Erie motion to dismiss
was granted in part and denied in part by the state court before
removal. Motions to dismiss were filed in October 2007 in the
Oswego and Schenectady cases.
In January 2005, the State of Alabama filed a lawsuit in State
Court against 79 defendants including the Company and Monarch.
The four causes of action center on the allegation that all
defendants fraudulently inflated the AWPs of their products. A
motion to dismiss was filed and denied by the Court, but the
Court did require an amended complaint to be filed. The Company
filed an answer and counter-claim for return of rebates overpaid
to the State. Alabama filed a motion to dismiss the
counter-claim which was granted. The Company perfected its
appeal of that ruling. Briefing in the appeal to the Alabama
Supreme Court is complete. No oral argument date has been set.
In a separate appeal of a motion to sever denied by the Court,
the Alabama Supreme Court severed all defendants into
single-defendant cases. The Trial Court consolidated AstraZeneca
International, Novartis Pharmaceuticals and SmithKline Beecham
Corporation for trial set to begin on February 11, 2008.
The Alabama Supreme Court stayed the consolidation order. Trial
against AstraZeneca only proceeded and a jury verdict against
AstraZeneca resulted. AstraZeneca stated it would appeal the
verdict. The Company and Monarch have requested a stay pending
their appeal.
In October 2005, the State of Mississippi filed a lawsuit in
State Court against the Company, Monarch and eighty-four other
defendants and alleged fourteen causes of action. Many of those
causes of action allege
F-31
KING
PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
that all defendants fraudulently inflated the AWPs and wholesale
acquisition costs (WACs) of their products. A motion
to dismiss the criminal statute counts and a motion for more
definite statement were granted. Mississippi was required to
file an amended complaint and in doing so dismissed the Company
and Monarch from the lawsuit without prejudice. These claims
could be refiled.
A co-defendant removed the Alabama and Mississippi cases to
Federal Court on October 11, 2006. The Alabama case was
remanded to State Court on November 2, 2006. The
Mississippi case was remanded to State Court on
September 17, 2007. Discovery is proceeding in the Alabama
case and has begun in New York. Over half of the states have
filed similar lawsuits but the Company has not been named in any
other case except Iowas. The Company has filed a motion to
dismiss the Iowa complaint. On February 20, 2008, the Iowa
case was transferred to the MDL. The relief sought in all of
these cases is similar to the relief sought in the New York City
lawsuit. The Company does not expect any of its trials to be set
in the next year. The Company intends to defend all of the AWP
lawsuits vigorously but is currently unable to predict the
outcome or reasonably estimate the range of potential loss, if
any.
Settlement
of Governmental Pricing Investigation
As previously reported, during the first quarter of 2006, the
Company paid approximately $129,268, comprising (i) all
amounts due under each of the settlement agreements resolving
the governmental investigations related to the Companys
underpayment of rebates owed to Medicaid and other governmental
pricing programs during the period from 1994 to 2002 (the
Settlement Agreements) and (ii) all the
Companys obligations to reimburse other parties for
expenses related to the settlement, including the previously
disclosed legal fees of approximately $787 and the previously
disclosed settlement costs of approximately $950.
The individual purportedly acting as a relator under
the False Claims Act appealed certain decisions of the District
Court denying the relators request to be compensated out
of the approximately $31,000 that was paid by the Company to
those states that do not have legislation providing for a
relators share. On July 16, 2007, the
Court of Appeals affirmed the District Courts decision in
all respects and denied the relators assertions with
respect to the Company. The relator exhausted his limited rights
to appeal the Court of Appeals decision and the Company
considers this matter concluded.
In addition to the Settlement Agreements, on October 31,
2005, the Company entered into a five-year corporate integrity
agreement with HHS/OIG (the Corporate Integrity
Agreement) pursuant to which the Company is required,
among other things, to keep in place the Companys current
compliance program, to provide periodic reports to HHS/OIG and
to submit to audits relating to the Companys Medicaid
rebate calculations.
The Settlement Agreements do not resolve any of the previously
disclosed civil suits that are pending against the Company and
related individuals and entities discussed in the section
entitled Securities and Derivative Litigation below.
The Settlement Agreements have been asserted as defenses to the
claims in the Average Wholesale Price litigation discussed above.
SEC
Investigation
As previously reported, the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the SEC) had also been conducting an investigation
relating to the Companys underpayments to governmental
programs and to the Companys previously disclosed errors
relating to reserves for product returns. On December 12,
2007, the Company received notice from the Staff of the SEC that
the investigation was closed.
Securities
and Derivative Litigation
Subsequent to the announcement of the SEC investigation
described above, beginning in March 2003, 22 purported class
action complaints were filed by holders of the Companys
securities against the Company, its
F-32

directors, former directors, executive officers, former
executive officers, a Company subsidiary, and a former director
of the subsidiary in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Tennessee, alleging violations of the
Securities Act of 1933
and/or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in connection with the
Companys underpayment of rebates owed to Medicaid and
other governmental pricing programs, and certain transactions
between the Company and the Benevolent Fund, a nonprofit
organization affiliated with certain former members of the
Companys senior management. These 22 complaints were
consolidated in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Tennessee. In addition, holders of the
Companys securities filed two class action complaints
alleging violations of the Securities Act of 1933 in Tennessee
State Court. The Company removed these two cases to the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee,
where these two cases were consolidated with the other class
actions.
In November 2005, the parties agreed to submit the matter to
non-binding mediation. After an extensive mediation process, an
agreement in principle to settle the litigation was reached on
April 26, 2006. On July 31, 2006, the parties entered
into a stipulation of settlement and a supplemental agreement
(together, the Settlement Agreement) to resolve the
litigation. On January 9, 2007, the Court granted final
approval of the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement
provides for a settlement amount of $38,250 which has been fully
funded by the Companys insurance carriers on the
Companys behalf.
Beginning in March 2003, four purported shareholder derivative
complaints were also filed in Tennessee State Court alleging a
breach of fiduciary duty, among other things, by some of the
Companys current and former officers and directors, with
respect to the same events at issue in the federal securities
litigation described above. These cases have been consolidated.
In June 2007, plaintiffs filed a motion to amend the complaint,
seeking to name as defendants additional current and former
officers and directors and the Companys independent
auditor and to add additional claims. Following negotiations
among the parties, this motion was granted in part, but it was
denied with respect to naming as defendants additional current
and former officers and directors of the Company. Trial is
scheduled to begin on September 22, 2008. The parties
engaged in non-binding mediation in January 2008 but were unable
to reach a resolution. Discussions between the parties continue.
Beginning in March 2003, three purported shareholder derivative
complaints were likewise filed in Tennessee Federal Court,
asserting claims similar to those alleged in the state
derivative litigation. These cases have been consolidated, and
on December 2, 2003 plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended
complaint. On March 9, 2004, the Court entered an order
indefinitely staying these cases in favor of the state
derivative action.
During the third quarter of 2006 and the second quarter of 2007,
the Company recorded an anticipated insurance recovery of legal
fees in the amount of $6,750 and $3,398, respectively, for the
class action and derivative suits described above. In November
of 2006 and July of 2007, the Company received payment for the
recovery of these legal fees.
The Company is currently unable to predict the outcome of the
pending litigation. If the Company were not to prevail in the
pending litigation, its business, financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely
affected.
Other
Legal Proceedings
Cobalt Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Cobalt), a generic
drug manufacturer located in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, filed
an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) with the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the FDA)
seeking permission to market a generic version of
Altace®.
The following U.S. patents are listed for
Altace®
in the FDAs Approved Drug Products With Therapeutic
Equivalence Evaluations (the Orange Book):
United States Patent No. 5,061,722 (the 722

and April 2012, respectively. Under the federal Hatch-Waxman Act
of 1984, any generic manufacturer may file an ANDA with a
certification (a Paragraph IV certification)
challenging the validity or infringement of a patent listed in
the FDAs Orange Book four years after the pioneer company
obtains approval of its New Drug Application (NDA).
Cobalt filed a Paragraph IV certification alleging
invalidity of the 722 patent, and Aventis Pharma
Deutschland GmbH (Aventis) and the Company filed
suit on March 14, 2003 in the District Court for the
District of Massachusetts to enforce the rights under that
patent. Pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act, the filing of that
suit provided the Company an automatic stay of FDA approval of
Cobalts ANDA for 30 months (unless the patents are
held invalid, unenforceable, or not infringed) from no earlier
than February 5, 2003. That
30-month
stay expired in August 2005 and on October 24, 2005, the
FDA granted final approval of Cobalts ANDA. In March 2004,
Cobalt stipulated to infringement of the 722 patent.
Subsequent to filing its original complaint, the Company amended
its complaint to add an allegation of infringement of the
856 patent. The 856 patent covers one of
Altace®s
three indications for use. In response to the amended complaint,
Cobalt informed the FDA that it no longer seeks approval to
market its proposed product for the indication covered by the
856 patent. On this basis, the Court granted Cobalt
summary judgment of non-infringement of the 856 patent.
The Courts decision does not affect Cobalts
infringement of the 722 patent. The parties submitted a
joint stipulation of dismissal on April 4, 2006, and the
Court granted dismissal. Pursuant to the dismissal agreement, on
October 12, 2007, Cobalt sent the Company a
30-day
written notice of its intent to launch its generic ramipril
product, which product would not be supplied by the Company.
Cobalt subsequently launched its generic ramipril product.
The Company has received civil investigative demands
(CIDs) for information from the U.S. Federal
Trade Commission (FTC). The CIDs requires the
Company to provide information related to the Companys
collaboration with Arrow, the dismissal without prejudice of the
Companys patent infringement litigation against Cobalt
under the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984 and other information. The
Company is cooperating with the FTC in this investigation.
Lupin filed an ANDA with the FDA seeking permission to market a
generic version of
Altace®
(Lupins ANDA). In addition to its ANDA, Lupin
filed a Paragraph IV certification challenging the validity
and infringement of the 722 patent, and seeking to market
its generic version of
Altace®
before expiration of the 722 patent. In July 2005, the
Company filed civil actions for infringement of the 722
patent against Lupin in the U.S. District Courts for the
District of Maryland and the Eastern District of Virginia.
Pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act, the filing of the lawsuit
against Lupin provided the Company with an automatic stay of FDA
approval of Lupins ANDA for up to 30 months (unless
the patents are held invalid, unenforceable, or not infringed)
from no earlier than June 8, 2005. On February 1,
2006, the Maryland and Virginia cases were consolidated into a
single action in the Eastern District of Virginia. On
June 5, 2006, the District Court granted King summary
judgment and found Lupin infringed the 722 patent. On
June 14, 2006, during the trial, the District Court
dismissed Lupins unenforceability claims as a matter of
law, finding the 722 patent enforceable. On July 18,
2006, the District Court upheld the validity of the 722
patent. Lupin filed a notice of appeal on July 19, 2006.
All appellate briefing was completed as of March 19, 2007,
and the Circuit Court heard oral arguments on July 12,
2007. On September 11, 2007, the Circuit Court reversed the
decision of the District Court and invalidated the
Companys 722 patent. The decision applied the recent
U.S. Supreme Court decision in KSR International
Co. v. Teleflex Inc. to invalidate the patent on the
basis of obviousness. The Company filed with the Circuit Court a
petition for rehearing and rehearing en banc. Lupin filed
its responsive brief on November 7, 2007. The Circuit Court
denied the petition on December 3, 2007 and issued the
judgment mandate on December 10, 2007.
Teva Pharmaceuticals USA (Teva USA) filed an ANDA
with the FDA seeking permission to market a generic version of

patent), two method-of-use patents relating to
Skelaxin®,
are listed in the FDAs Orange Book and do not expire until
December 3, 2021. Eon Labs and CorePharma each filed
Paragraph IV certifications against the 128 and
102 patents, and are alleging noninfringement, invalidity
and unenforceability of those patents. Mutual has filed a
Paragraph IV certification against the 102 patent
alleging noninfringement and invalidity of that patent. A patent
infringement suit was filed against Eon Labs on January 2,
2003 in the District Court for the Eastern District of New York;
against CorePharma on March 7, 2003 in the District Court
for the District of New Jersey (subsequently transferred to the
District Court for the Eastern District of New York); and
against Mutual on March 12, 2004 in the District Court for
the Eastern District of Pennsylvania concerning their proposed

suit against Eon Labs on December 17, 2004 in the District
Court for the Eastern District of New York, concerning its
proposed 800 mg
Skelaxin®
product.
Pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act, the filing of the suit against
CorePharma triggered an automatic stay of FDA approval of
CorePharmas ANDA for 30 months (unless the patents
are held invalid, unenforceable, or not infringed) from no
earlier than January 24, 2003. Also pursuant to the
Hatch-Waxman Act, the filing of the suits against Eon Labs
provided the Company with an automatic stay of FDA approval of
Eon Labs ANDA for its proposed 400 mg and 800 mg
products for 30 months (unless the patents are held
invalid, unenforceable, or not infringed) from no earlier than
November 18, 2002 and November 3, 2004, respectively.
The 30-month
stay of FDA approval for Eon Labs ANDA for its proposed
400 mg product expired in May 2005 and Eon subsequently
withdrew its 400 mg ANDA in September 2006. The
30-month
stay of FDA approval for Eon Labs 800 mg product was
tolled by the Court on January 10, 2005, and has not
expired yet. The Court lifted the tolling of the
30-month
stay as of April 30, 2007, although the Court has reserved
judgment on the length of the tolling period, the stay should
not expire until early August 2009 unless the Court says
otherwise. On May 17, 2006, the District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania placed the Mutual case on the
Civil Suspense Calendar pending the outcome of the FDA activity
described below. On June 16, 2006, the District Court for
the Eastern District of New York consolidated the Eon Labs cases
with the CorePharma case. On April 30, 2007, Eon Labs
400 mg case was dismissed without prejudice, although Eon
Labs claim for fees and expenses was severed and
consolidated with Eon Labs 800 mg case. In January
2008, the Company entered into an agreement with CorePharma
providing CorePharma with the right to launch an authorized
generic version of
Skelaxin®
pursuant to a license in December, 2012 or earlier under certain
conditions. On January 8, 2008, the parties in the
CorePharma case stipulated to substitute the Company for Elan

dismissal without prejudice. On January 15, 2008, the Court
entered the orders. On August 27, 2007, Eon served a motion
for summary judgment on the issue of non-infringement. The Court
granted the Company discovery for purposes of responding to
Eons motion until March 14, 2008 and set a briefing
schedule. Kings opposition brief is due March 28,
2008 and Eons reply is due April 11, 2008. The
Company intends to vigorously enforce its rights under the
128 and 102 patents to the full extent of the law.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
On March 9, 2004, the Company received a copy of a letter
from the FDA to all ANDA applicants for
Skelaxin®
stating that the use listed in the FDAs Orange Book for
the 128 patent may be deleted from the ANDA
applicants product labeling. The Company believes that
this decision is arbitrary, capricious, and inconsistent with
the FDAs previous position on this issue. The Company
filed a Citizen Petition on March 18, 2004 (supplemented on
April 15, 2004 and on July 21, 2004), requesting the
FDA to rescind that letter, require generic applicants to submit
Paragraph IV certifications for the 128 patent, and
prohibit the removal of information corresponding to the use
listed in the Orange Book. The Company concurrently filed a
petition for stay of action requesting the FDA to stay approval
of any generic metaxalone products until the FDA has fully
evaluated the Companys Citizen Petition.
On March 12, 2004, the FDA sent a letter to the Company
explaining that the Companys proposed labeling revision
for
Skelaxin®,
which includes references to additional clinical studies
relating to food, age, and gender effects, was approvable and
only required certain formatting changes. On April 5, 2004,
the Company submitted amended labeling text that incorporated
those changes. On April 5, 2004, Mutual filed a petition
for stay of action requesting the FDA to stay approval of the
Companys proposed labeling revision until the FDA has
fully evaluated and ruled upon the Companys Citizen
Petition, as well as all comments submitted in response to that
petition. The Company, CorePharma and Mutual have filed
responses and supplements to their pending Citizen Petitions and
responses. On December 8, 2005, Mutual filed another
supplement with the FDA in which it withdrew its prior petition
for stay, supplement, and opposition to the Companys
Citizen Petition. On November 24, 2006, the FDA approved
the revision to the
Skelaxin®
labeling. On February 13, 2007, the Company filed another
supplement to the Companys Citizen Petition to reflect FDA
approval of the revision to the
Skelaxin®
labeling. On May 2, 2007, Mutual filed comments in
connection with the Companys supplemental submission. On
July 27, 2007 and January 24, 2008, Mutual filed two
other Citizen Petitions in which it seeks a determination that
Skelaxin®
labeling should be revised to reflect the previously submitted
data in its earlier submissions.
If the Companys Amended Citizen Petition is rejected,
there is a substantial likelihood that a generic version of
Skelaxin®
will enter the market, and the Companys business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could
be materially adversely affected. Net sales of
Skelaxin®
were $440,003 in 2007. As of December 31, 2007, the Company
had net intangible assets related to
Skelaxin®
of $137,409. If demand for
Skelaxin®
declines below current expectations, the Company may have to
write off a portion or all of these intangible assets.
Actavis, Inc. (Actavis) filed an ANDA with the FDA,
seeking permission to market a generic version of
Avinza®.
U.S. Patent No. 6,066,339 (the 339
patent), is a composition of matter patent relating to
Avinza®
that is listed in the Orange Book and expires on
November 25, 2017. Actavis filed a paragraph IV
certification challenging the validity and alleging
non-infringement of the 339 patent, and the Company and
Elan Pharma International LTD, the owner of the 339
patent, filed suit on October 18, 2007 in the United States
District Court for the District of New Jersey to enforce the
rights under the patent. Pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act, the
filing of the lawsuit against Actavis provided the Company with
an automatic stay of FDA approval of Actavis ANDA for up
to 30 months (unless the patent is held invalid,
unenforceable, or not infringed) from no earlier than
September 4, 2007. On November 18, 2007, Actavis
answered the Complaint and filed counterclaims of
non-infringement and invalidity.
The Company intends to vigorously enforce its rights under the
339 patent to the full extent of the law. Net sales of
Avinza®
were $108,546 in 2007. As of December 31, 2007, the Company
had net intangible assets related to
Avinza®
of $271,317. If a generic form of
Avinza®
enters the market, the Company may have to write off a portion
or all of these intangible assets, and the Companys
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows could be otherwise materially adversely affected.
Sicor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Sicor Pharma), a
generic drug manufacturer located in Irvine California, filed an
ANDA with the FDA seeking permission to market a generic version
of
Adenoscan®.
U.S. Patent

KING
PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
No. 5,070,877 (the 877 patent), a method-of-use
patent with an expiration date of May 2009, is assigned to the
Company and listed in the FDAs Orange Book entry for
Adenoscan®.
Astellas Pharma US, Inc. (Astellas) is the exclusive
licensee of certain rights under the 877 patent and has
marketed
Adenoscan®
in the U.S. since 1995. A substantial portion of the
Companys revenues from its royalties segment is derived
from Astellas based on its net sales of
Adenoscan®.
Sicor Pharma has filed a Paragraph IV certification
alleging invalidity of the 877 patent and non-infringement
of certain claims of the 877 patent. The Company and
Astellas filed suit against Sicor Pharma and its
parents/affiliates Sicor, Inc., Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc.
(Teva) and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd., on
May 26, 2005 in the United States District Court for the
District of Delaware to enforce their rights under the 877
patent. Pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act, the filing of that
suit provided the Company an automatic stay of FDA approval of
Sicor Pharmas ANDA for 30 months (unless the patents
are held invalid, unenforceable, or not infringed) from no
earlier than April 16, 2005. On May 16, 2006, Sicor
Pharma stipulated to infringement of the asserted claims of the
877 patent. Trial in this action began on
February 12, 2007 and concluded on February 28, 2007.
Post-trial briefing concluded in June 2007. Sicor is also
involved in litigation with Item Development AB regarding
U.S. Patent No. 5,731,296 (the 296
patent), a method-of-use patent with an expiration date of
March 2015, which is also listed in the Orange Book for
Adenoscan®.
Trial of the 296 patent occurred simultaneously with the
877 patent. Post-trial briefing for the 296 patent
trial followed the same schedule as the 877 patent trial.
On August 31, 2007, the parties entered into an agreement
to allow Sicor to launch their generic version of
Adenoscan®
pursuant to a license in September 2012, or earlier under
certain conditions. The parties also agreed to terminate the two
lawsuits. The agreement was subject to a
45-day
review by the FTC and Department of Justice. That period ended
October 20, 2007. On October 22, 2007, the parties
submitted a stipulated entry of consent judgment to the Court,
and on October 29, 2007 the consent judgement was entered
and the cases were closed.
Teva filed an ANDA with the FDA seeking permission to market a
generic version of
Sonata®.
In addition to its ANDA, Teva filed a Paragraph IV
certification challenging the enforceability of U.S. Patent
4,626,538 (the 538 patent) listed in the Orange
Book, a composition of matter patent which expires in June 2008.
In August 2005, King filed suit against Teva in the United
States District Court for the District of New Jersey to enforce
its rights under the 538 patent. Pursuant to the
Hatch-Waxman Act, the filing of that suit provided the Company
an automatic stay of FDA approval of Tevas ANDA for
30 months (unless the patents are held invalid,
unenforceable, or not infringed) from no earlier than
June 21, 2005. On September 25, 2006, the parties
filed a stipulation with the Court in which Teva admitted
infringement of the 538 patent. In October 2006, Teva
filed a summary judgment motion on the grounds that the
538 patent is unenforceable due to breach in the common
ownership requirement for terminally disclaimed patents. The
Company filed its opposition brief in November 2006. Oral
argument was heard on January 10, 2007, and the Court
subsequently denied Tevas summary judgment motion. The
Company has filed a motion for summary judgment to dispose of
the case, and Teva filed a cross-motion for summary judgment.
The Court granted the Companys motion and denied
Tevas cross-motion on August 3, 2007. On
August 14, 2007, judgment was entered declaring the
validity of the 538 patent and enjoining Teva from
entering the market prior to the expiration of the 538
patent. The parties entered into an agreement whereby the
Company agreed not to pursue attorneys fees and Teva
agreed not to appeal the decision.
In addition to the matters discussed above, the Company is
involved in various other legal proceedings incident to the
ordinary course of its business. The Company does not believe
that unfavorable outcomes as a result of these other legal
proceedings would have a material adverse effect on its
financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The unconditional purchase obligations of the Company are
primarily related to minimum purchase requirements under
contracts with suppliers to purchase raw materials and finished
goods related to the Companys branded pharmaceutical
products and commitments associated with research and
development projects.
The Company has a supply agreement with a third party to produce
ramipril, the active ingredient in
Altace®.
This supply agreement requires the Company to purchase certain
minimum levels of ramipril as long as the Company maintains
market exclusivity for
Altace®
in the United States, and thereafter the parties must negotiate
in good faith the annual minimum purchase quantities. In
September 2007, the Companys 722 Patent that covered
the Companys
Altace®
product was invalidated by the Circuit Court. For additional
information please see Note 3.
As a result of the invalidation of the 722 Patent, the
Company concluded that it has more
Altace®
raw material inventory than is required to meet anticipated
future demand for the product. As a result, the Company recorded
a charge of $25,755 for the Companys estimated remaining
minimum purchase requirements for excess
Altace®
raw material associated with this supply agreement. This charge
is included in cost of revenues, exclusive of depreciation,
amortization and impairments on the Consolidated Statements of
Income. For additional information please see Note 8.
The Company has supply agreements with two third parties to
produce metaxalone, the active ingredient in
Skelaxin®.
These supply agreements require the Company to purchase certain
minimum levels of metaxalone and expire in 2008 and 2010. If
sales of
Skelaxin®
are not consistent with current forecasts, the Company could
incur losses in connection with purchase commitments for
metaxalone, which could have a material adverse effect upon the
Companys results of operations and cash flows.
The Company had a supply agreement with Eli Lilly to produce
Lorabid®
which required the Company to purchase certain minimum levels of
inventory of
Lorabid®
through September 1, 2005. Based on changes in estimated
prescription trends, the Company anticipated the minimum
purchase commitments under the supply agreement would be greater
than that which the Company would be able to sell to its
customers. As a result, the Company recorded income of $482
during 2005 and a charge of $4,483 during 2004, related to the
liability associated with the amount of its purchase commitments
in excess of expected demand.
The Companys business is classified into five reportable
segments: branded pharmaceuticals, Meridian Auto-Injector,
royalties, contract manufacturing and all other. Branded
pharmaceuticals include a variety of branded prescription
products that are separately categorized into neuroscience,
hospital, acute care, and legacy products. These branded
prescription products are aggregated because of the similarity
in regulatory environment, manufacturing processes, methods of
distribution, and types of customer. Meridian develops,
manufactures, and sells to both commercial and government
markets pharmaceutical products that are administered

with an auto-injector. The principal source of revenues in the
commercial market is the
EpiPen®
product, an epinephrine filled auto-injector, which is primarily
prescribed for the treatment of severe allergic reactions and
which is primarily marketed, distributed and sold by Dey, L.P.
Government revenues are principally derived from the sale of
nerve agent antidotes and other emergency medicine auto-injector
products marketed to the U.S. Department of Defense and
other federal, state and local agencies, particularly those
involved in homeland security, as well as to approved foreign
governments. Contract manufacturing primarily includes
pharmaceutical manufacturing services the Company provides to
third-party pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
Royalties include revenues the Company derives from
pharmaceutical products after the Company has transferred the
manufacturing or marketing rights to third parties in exchange
for licensing fees or royalty payments.
The Company primarily evaluates its segments based on segment
profit. Reportable segments were separately identified based on
revenues, segment profit (excluding depreciation, amortization
and impairments) and total assets. Revenues among the segments
are presented in the individual segments and removed through
eliminations in the information below. Substantially all of the
eliminations relate to sales from the contract manufacturing
segment to the branded pharmaceuticals segment. The
Companys revenues are substantially all derived from
activities within the United States and Puerto Rico. The
Companys assets are substantially all located within the
United States and Puerto Rico.

Stock-Based
Compensation
|
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which requires the
recognition of the fair value of stock-based compensation in net
earnings. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using
the modified prospective application transition method and
therefore the Companys prior period condensed consolidated
financial statements have not been restated and do not reflect
the recognition of stock-based compensation costs. The Company
elected to use the alternative short cut method described in
FASB Staff Position 123(R)-3, Transition Election Related to
Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards,
for determining the pool of available paid in capital against
which any future tax benefit deficiencies arising from the
exercise of options may be offset.
For the years ended 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred $27,652
and $21,130, respectively, of compensation costs and $10,015 and
$6,610, respectively, of income tax benefits related to the
Companys stock-based compensation arrangements, which
together reduced both basic and diluted income per common share
by $0.07 and $0.06, respectively. In addition, the Company in
2006 recognized compensation expense of $3,588 as a result of a
review of historical equity-based compensation grants. For
further discussion, please see Review of Historical
Equity-Based Compensation Grants below. Prior to the
Companys adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), it
accounted for stock options under the disclosure-only provision
of SFAS No. 123,

KING

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, as amended by
SFAS No. 148. Under the disclosure-only provision of
SFAS No. 123, no compensation cost was recognized for
stock options granted prior to January 1, 2006.
SFAS No. 123(R) applies to options granted or modified
on or after January 1, 2006. Additionally, compensation
costs for options that were unvested as of January 1, 2006
must be recognized over their remaining service period.
Prior to the Companys adoption of
SFAS No. 123(R), benefits of tax deductions in excess
of recognized compensation costs were reported as operating cash
flows. SFAS No. 123(R) requires excess tax benefits be
reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction
of taxes paid. During 2007 and 2006, tax benefits in excess of
recognized compensation costs associated with stock option
exercises were $705 and $484, respectively, and are reflected as
cash inflows from financing activities.
For the year ended 2005, had compensation costs for the
Companys stock compensation plans been recognized for
options granted, consistent with SFAS No. 123, the
Companys net income, basic income per common share and
diluted income per common share would include adjustments for

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of

Restricted
Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units and Long-Term Performance
Unit Awards
Under its Incentive Plan the Company has granted Restricted
Stock Awards (RSAs) and Long-Term Performance Unit
Awards (LPUs) to certain employees and has granted
Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) to its non-employee
directors.
RSAs are grants of shares of common stock restricted from sale
or transfer for a period of time, generally three years from
grant, but may be restricted over other designated periods as
determined by the Companys Board of Directors or a
committee of the Board.
RSUs represent the right to receive a share of common stock at
the expiration of a restriction period, generally three years
from grant, but may be restricted over other designated periods
as determined by the Companys Board of Directors or a
committee of the Board. The RSUs granted to non-employee
directors under the current Compensation Policy for Non-Employee
Directors have a restriction period that generally ends one year
after grant.
F-41
KING

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The fair value of RSAs and RSUs is based upon the market price
of the underlying common stock as of the date of grant.
Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis,
including an estimate for forfeitures, over the vesting period.
LPUs are rights to receive common stock of the Company in which
the number of shares ultimately received depends on the
Companys performance over time. The Company has granted
LPUs with two different performance criteria. LPUs were granted
with a one-year performance cycle, followed by a two-year
restriction period, at the end of which shares of common stock
will be earned based on operating targets. LPUs were also
granted based on a three-year performance cycle, at the end of
which shares of common stock will be earned based on
market-related performance targets over a three-year performance
period. At the end of the applicable performance period, the
number of shares of common stock awarded is determined by
adjusting upward or downward from the performance target in a
range between 0% and 200%. The final performance percentage, on
which the number of shares of common stock issued is based,
considering performance metrics established for the performance
period, would be determined by the Companys Board of
Directors or a committee of the Board at its sole discretion.
The fair value of LPUs with a one-year performance cycle is
based upon the market price of the underlying common stock as of
the date of grant. At each reporting period, compensation
expense is recognized based on the most probable performance
outcome, including an estimate for forfeitures, on a
straight-line basis over the vesting period. Total compensation
expense for each award is based on the actual number of shares
of common stock that vest multiplied by market price of the
common stock as of the date of grant.
The fair value of LPUs with a three-year performance cycle is
based on long-term market-based performance targets using a
Monte Carlo simulation model which considers the likelihood of
all possible outcomes and determines the number of shares
expected to vest under each simulation and the expected stock
price at that level. The fair value on grant date of the LPU is
recognized over the required service period and will not change
regardless of the Companys actual performance versus the
long-term market-based performance targets.

As of December 31, 2007, there was $28,234 of total
unrecognized compensation costs related to RSAs which the
Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of
2.46 years. The expense recognized over the service period
includes an estimate of awards that will be forfeited.
Previously, the Company recorded the effect of forfeitures as
they occurred. The cumulative effect of changing from recording
forfeitures related to restricted stock awards as they occurred
to estimating forfeitures during the service period was
immaterial. As of December 31, 2007, there was $277 of
total unrecognized compensation costs related to RSUs which the
Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of
0.33 years. As of December 31, 2007, there was $25,087
of total unrecognized compensation costs related to LPUs which
the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period
of 1.26 years.
Stock
Options
The Company has granted nonqualified and incentive stock options
to its officers, employees and directors under its stock option
plans. In connection with the plans, options to purchase common
stock of the Company are granted at option prices not less than
the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant
and either vest immediately or ratably over a designated period,
generally one-third on each of the first three anniversaries of
the grant date. Compensation expense is recognized on a
straight-line basis, including an estimate for forfeitures, over
the vesting period.

For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company
utilized the short-cut method to estimate the
expected term for stock options granted. Stock options granted
prior to 2004 did not have similar vesting characteristics as
those granted in the most recent periods and generally vested at
the date of grant. The stock options granted after
January 1, 2004 generally vest in thirds on each of the
first three anniversaries of the grant date. As a result, the
data required to estimate the post-vesting exercise behavior was
not sufficient to calculate a historical estimate. The short-cut
method allows the Company to estimate the expected term using
the average of the contractual term and the vesting period. The
expected volatility is determined based on the historical
volatility of King common stock over the expected term. The
risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate for the
expected term at the date of grant.

Review
of Historical Equity-Based Compensation Grants
In light of widespread coverage in the media and elsewhere
concerning the backdating of stock options and similar issues at
other public companies, in 2006 the Audit Committee of the
Companys Board of Directors conducted a voluntary review
of the Companys practices with respect to granting
equity-based compensation. The Audit Committees review was
conducted with the assistance of outside counsel. The Audit
Committee concluded that there was no fraud or manipulation of
financial results with the intent to mislead investors, however,
the review uncovered immaterial errors associated with option
grants.
Based on the Audit Committees findings, the Company
recognized aggregate non-cash compensation expense of $3,588
during 2006 to correct immaterial understatements of
compensation expense of: $3,166 in 2000, $304 in 2001, $111 in
2002, $1 in 2003, $2 in 2005 and $4 in 2006. The cumulative
charge was recorded in the third quarter of 2006 because the
amount of the stock option compensation expense attributable to
the prior periods was not material to any previously reported
historical period, was not material to the three- or nine-month
period ended September 30, 2006 and is not material to the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
Preferred
Shares
The Company is authorized to issue 15 million shares of

11/4% Convertible
Senior Notes due April 1, 2026 could be converted into the
Companys common stock in the future, subject to certain
contingencies (see Note 14). Shares of the Companys
common stock associated with this right of conversion were
excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share
because these notes are anti-dilutive since the conversion price
of the notes was greater than the average market price of the
Companys common stock during the 2006 and 2007 years.
The weighted average stock options that were anti-dilutive at
December 31, 2005 were 5,469,722. As of December 31,
2005, the Debentures could also be converted into
6,877,990 shares of common stock in the future, subject to
certain contingencies outlined in the indenture. Because the
convertible debentures were anti-dilutive, they were not
included in the calculation of diluted income per common share.

Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
|
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation
No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(FIN 48). FIN 48 is an interpretation
of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes, that seeks to reduce the variability in practice
associated with measurement and recognition of tax benefits.
FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position that an entity takes or expects to
take in a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides
guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and
transition. Under FIN 48, an entity may only recognize or
continue to recognize tax positions that meet a more
likely than not threshold. In 2007, the Company recorded
the cumulative effect of applying FIN 48 of $1,523 as a
reduction to the opening balance of retained earnings. The total
gross liability under FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007 was
$44,291. See Note 17 for additional information.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS No. 157). This statement defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value,
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The
statement is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process
of evaluating the effect of SFAS No. 157 on its
financial statements and is planning to adopt this standard in
the first quarter of 2008.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
(SFAS No. 159). This statement permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and
certain other items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 also
establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to
facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different
measurement attributes for similar types of assets and
liabilities. The statement is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect of
SFAS No. 159 on its financial statements and is
planning to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2008.
In June 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the
Emerging Issues Task Force on Issue
No. 07-3,
Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or
Services Received for Use in Future Research and Development
Activities (Issue
07-3).
Issue 07-3
addresses nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services
that will be used or rendered for future research and
development activities and requires these payments be deferred
and capitalized. Under Issue
07-03,
expense will be recognized as the related goods are delivered or
the related services are performed. Issue
07-03 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2007 and is applied
prospectively for new contracts entered into on or after the
effective date. The Company is in the process of evaluating the
effect of Issue
07-3 on its
financial statements and is planning to adopt this standard in
the first quarter of 2008.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
In December 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF
Issue 07-01,
Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements (Issue
07-01).
Issue 07-01
requires collaborators to present the results of activities for
which they act as the principal on a gross basis and report any
payments received from (made to) other collaborators based on
other applicable Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP) or, in the absence of other applicable GAAP,
based on analogy to authoritative accounting literature or a
reasonable, rational, and consistently applied accounting policy
election. Issue
07-01 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2008. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect of
Issue 07-01
on its financial statements and is planning to adopt this
standard in the first quarter of 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business Combinations
(SFAS No. 141(R)). This statement
establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer
recognizes and measures in its financial statements the
identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and recognizes and
measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a
gain from a bargain purchase. SFAS No. 141(R) also
sets forth the disclosures required to be made in the financial
statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the
business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) applies
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition
date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting
period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
Accordingly, SFAS No. 141(R) will be applied by the
Company to business combinations occurring on or after
January 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests
in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB
No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). This
statement establishes accounting and reporting standards that
require that the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by
parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled,
and presented in the consolidated statement of financial
position within equity, but separate from the parents
equity; the amount of consolidated net income attributable to
the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly
identified and presented on the face of the consolidated
statement of income; and changes in a parents ownership
interest while the parent retains its controlling financial
interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently.
SFAS No. 160 also requires that any retained
noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be
initially measured at fair value when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also sets forth the
disclosure requirements to identify and distinguish between the
interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling
owners. SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities that
prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit
organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an
outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries
or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those
fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
Earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 160 must be
applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in
which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and
disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure
requirements are applied retrospectively for all periods
presented. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of
SFAS 160 will have an effect on the financial statements.

Restructuring
Activities
|
Following the Circuit Courts decision in September 2007
regarding the Companys 722 Patent that covered the
Companys
Altace®
product (see Note 3), the Company developed a restructuring
initiative designed to accelerate a planned strategic shift
emphasizing its focus in neuroscience, hospital and acute care
medicine. This initiative includes a reduction in personnel,
staff leverage, expense reductions and additional controls over
spending, reorganization of sales teams and a realignment of
research and development priorities.

KING
PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Company incurred total costs of approximately $65,000
associated with this initiative, including approximately $63,000
in restructuring charges, $1,000 in accelerated depreciation
associated with general support assets and approximately $1,000
for implementation costs of reorganizing the sales teams.
The restructuring charges include employee termination costs
associated with a workforce reduction of approximately
520 employees, including approximately 440 people in
our sales force. Restructuring charges also include contract
termination costs, including the termination of the promotion
agreement for
Glumetzatm
discussed below, and other exit costs associated with this
initiative.
During the third and fourth quarters of 2007, the Company
recorded employee termination costs of $15,655 and $14,892,
respectively. Additionally, the Company incurred other exit
costs of $1,626 in the fourth quarter of 2007 associated with
this restructuring initiative. Substantially all of the employee
termination costs and other exit costs are expected to be paid
by the end of the first quarter of 2008.
In October 2007, the Company and Depomed, Inc. announced
the termination of their promotion agreement for
Glumetzatm.
As a result, the Company incurred contract termination costs and
other fees of $30,733 in the fourth quarter of 2007. Under the
terms of the termination agreement, the Company fulfilled its
promotion obligations through the end of 2007 and Depomed, Inc.
was not required to pay the Company a promotion fee for the
fourth quarter of 2007.
The implementation costs associated with reorganization of sales
teams incurred in the fourth quarter of 2007 is reported in
selling, general and administrative, exclusive of co-promotion
fees.
In July 2007, the Company entered into an asset purchase
agreement with JHP, pursuant to which JHP acquired the
Companys Rochester, Michigan sterile manufacturing
facility, some of the Companys legacy products that are
manufactured there and the related contract manufacturing
business. As a result of this sale, the Company incurred $4,612
in 2007 for employee termination costs upon notification of the
sale to the approximately 300 affected employees. The Company
accrued employee separation payments which were substantially
paid during the fourth quarter of 2007. This transaction closed
in October 2007. For more information, please see
Note 10.
During 2006, the Company decided to streamline manufacturing
activities in order to improve operating efficiency and reduce
costs, including the decision to transfer the production of
Levoxyl®
from its St. Petersburg, Florida facility to its Bristol,
Tennessee facility, which the Company expects to complete in
early 2009. As a result of these steps, the Company expects to
incur restructuring charges totaling approximately $15,000
through the end of 2009, of which approximately $11,500 is
associated with accelerated depreciation and approximately
$3,500 is associated with employee termination costs. The
employee termination costs are expected to be paid by early 2009.
During 2005, the Company made the decision to reduce its work
force in order to improve efficiencies in operations.
Accordingly, the Company incurred a charge of $2,267 during the
year ended December 31, 2005. Additionally during 2005, the
Company incurred a charge of $1,913 associated with
restructuring activities initiated in 2004.

Guarantor
Financial Statements
|
On April 23, 2002, the Company established a $400,000
five-year Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility which was
scheduled to mature in April 2007 (the 2002 Credit
Facility). On April 19, 2007, this facility was
terminated and replaced with a new $475,000 five-year Senior
Secured Revolving Credit Facility which matures in April 2012
(the 2007 Credit Facility).
Each of the Companys subsidiaries, except Monarch
Pharmaceuticals Ireland Limited (the Guarantor
Subsidiaries), guaranteed on a full, unconditional and
joint and several basis the Companys performance under the
$400,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes and under the
2002 Credit Facility on a joint and several basis.
Four of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, King Pharmaceuticals
Research and Development, Inc., Monarch Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,
Meridian Medical Technologies, Inc., and Parkedale
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., have guaranteed on a full, unconditional
and joint and several basis the Companys performance under
the 2007 Credit Facility.
There are no restrictions under the Companys current
financing arrangements, and there were no restrictions under the
2002 Credit Facility and on the ability of the Guarantor
Subsidiaries to distribute funds to the Company in the form of
cash dividends, loans or advances. The following combined
financial data provides information regarding the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows of the Guarantor
Subsidiaries for the $400,000 aggregate principal amount of the
Notes and the 2002 Credit Facility (condensed consolidating
financial data). Separate financial statements and other
disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not
presented because management has determined that such
information would not be material to the holders of the debt.
