This increase in R&D expenses was mainly due to increased international R&D expenditures ($18.9 million), (including those of the recently acquired Arrow Group), partially offset by reduced R&D expenditures in certain domestic locations.
Net revenues from our Global Brands segment for the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased 11.5% or $13.0 million to $99.7 million compared to net revenues of $112.7 million in the prior year period. The decrease in net revenues was primarily attributable to the loss of Ferrlecit® ($25.4 million), as our distribution rights for Ferrlecit® terminated on December 31, 2009. The decline in revenues from the loss of Ferrlecit® was partially offset by higher sales of Rapaflo®, Gelnique®, Androderm®, sales from our recently acquired progesterone business (acquired from Columbia Laboratories, Inc. (Columbia) during the quarter) and higher other revenues.
R&D expenses within our Global Brands segment increased 45.3% or $6.8 million to $21.7 million compared to $14.9 million in the prior year period primarily due to higher milestone payments in the current quarter ($5.5 million) and increased international R&D expenditures from recently acquired Eden ($2.2 million) which was partially offset by lower clinical spending in the current period.
Net revenues from our Distribution segment for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased 35.4% or $53.7 million to $205.1 million compared to net revenues of $151.4 million in the prior year period primarily due to an increase in new product launches ($48.3 million).
Corporate general and administrative expenses increased 172.0% or $103.4 million to $163.5 million compared to $60.1 million from the prior year period primarily due to an accrual during the period for a proposed legal settlement ($89.9 million) and international general and administrative expenses for the quarter ($15.5 million).
