Manufacturing revenue and royalties decreased 3% to
$126.1 million in the first half of 2009 from
$129.9 million in the first half of 2008. The decrease
reflects the impact of the timing of customer orders. Except as
noted above, no other single product accounted for more than 10%
of our manufacturing revenue and royalties in either the first
half of 2009 or 2008. For the first half of 2009, 46% (2008:
45%) of these revenues consisted of royalties received on
products that we do not manufacture.
Potential generic competitors have challenged the existing
patent protection for several of the products from which we earn
manufacturing revenue and royalties. We and our clients defend
our intellectual property rights vigorously. However, if these
challenges are successful, our manufacturing revenue and
royalties will be materially and adversely affected.
