2007
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $157.2 million in 2007. The primary components of cash used in operating activities were the net loss (adjusted to exclude non-cash charges and benefits) and changes in working capital accounts. Changes in working capital accounts provided a net cash inflow of $18.2 million and include the increase in accounts receivable of $30.1 million, the decrease in prepayments and other assets of $55.4 million (principally $49.8 million arbitration award, which

was paid by King in January 2007), the increase in inventory of $7.4 million, and the net increase of $0.3 million in accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $326.6 million in 2007. At 31 December 2007, all of Elan’s liquid investments were invested in bank deposits and funds. In December 2007, due to dislocations in the capital markets, one of these funds was closed. As a result, the amount invested in this fund on the closure date of $305.9 million (31 December 2007: $274.8 million) no longer qualified as cash and cash equivalents and was reclassified as an investment. Since 31 December 2007, Elan has reduced the amount invested in this fund to approximately $90 million and has moved approximately $185 million into bank deposits and U.S. treasury funds.
 
Net cash used in investing activities in 2007 also includes $12.3 million related to the purchase of investments and $26.1 million related to the purchase of property, plant and equipment, offset by net proceeds of $31.3 million from the sale of investments. As of 31 December 2007, we did not have any significant commitments to purchase property, plant and equipment, except for contracted additional capital expenditures of $12.7 million.
 
Net cash used in financing activities totalled $601.5 million in 2007, primarily reflecting the repayment of loans and finance lease obligations of $629.6 million (principally the redemption of $613.2 million of the Athena Notes), offset by $28.2 million of net proceeds from employee stock issuances.
 
We believe that our current liquid asset position will be sufficient to meet our needs for the foreseeable future.
 
2006
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $225.0 million in 2006. The primary components of cash used in operating activities were the net loss (adjusted to exclude non-cash charges and benefits) and changes in working capital accounts. The changes in working capital accounts include the net increase in accounts receivables and prepayments and other assets of $85.4 million (principally $49.8 million arbitration award entered in our favour and against King in December 2006, which was paid by King in January 2007), the increase in inventory of $6.0 million, and the net increase of $20.2 million in accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities.
 
Net cash provided by investing activities was $23.0 million in 2006. The major component of cash generated from investing activities includes net proceeds of $14.1 million from the disposal of investments and $54.2 million from the sale of the European rights to Prialt, partially offset by $29.9 million for capital expenditures and $18.6 million for the purchase of intangible and other assets.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities totalled $627.3 million in 2006, primarily reflecting the net proceeds of $602.8 million from the issuances of $465.0 million of the 8.875% Notes and $150.0 million of the Floating Rate Notes due 2013, and $29.8 million of net proceeds from employee stock issuances, offset by $5.7 million related to the repayment of loans and finance lease obligations.
