This excerpt taken from the ELN 20-F filed Mar 30, 2006. Other
significant net charges
The principal items classified as other significant net
charges/(gains) include asset impairments, purchase of royalty
rights, severance, relocation and exit costs, and costs incurred
from litigation or regulatory actions, including shareholder
class action litigation and the SEC investigation. These items
have been treated consistently from period to period. Our
management believes that disclosure of other charges is
meaningful because it provides additional information in
relation to these material, infrequent and often non-recurring
items.
