In March 2006, we sold the Prialt European rights to Eisai. We received $50.0 million at closing and are entitled to receive an additional $10.0 million on the earlier of two years from closing or launches of Prialt in key European markets. We recorded a gain of $43.3 million on this sale. We may also receive an additional $40.0 million contingent on Prialt achieving revenue related milestones in Europe. As of December 31, 2006, we have received $4.0 million of the $10.0 million related to the launches of Prialt in key European markets.
 
In April 2004, we sold our interests in Zonegran in North America and Europe to Eisai for initial net consideration of $113.5 million at closing. We were also entitled to receive additional consideration of up to $110.0 million from Eisai if no generic Zonegran was approved by certain dates up through January 1, 2006. We received $85.0 million of this contingent consideration prior to the approval of generic Zonegran in December 2005. Consequently, the total net proceeds received from the sale of Zonegran amounted to $198.5 million and resulted in a cumulative net gain of $128.5 million, of which $85.6 million was recognized in 2005 and $42.9 million in 2004.
 
In February 2004, we sold our European sales and marketing business to Zeneus Pharma Ltd. (Zeneus) for initial net cash proceeds of $93.2 million, resulting in a loss of $2.9 million in 2004. We received an additional $6.0 million in February 2005, which was accrued at December 31, 2004, and $15.0 million of contingent consideration in December 2005, which resulted in a net gain of $17.1 million in 2005 after the release of contingent liabilities of $2.1 million, which were not ultimately required. We will not receive any further consideration in respect of this disposal.
