Highlight of Business Operations:
Equity in losses of partially-owned affiliate of $364, including amortization expense of $282, in the first quarter of 2011 represents the Company s portion of Zenara Pharma s net loss.
In 2009, a subsidiary of the Company was examined by a European tax authority, who challenged the business purpose of the deductibility of certain intercompany transactions from 2003. In the fourth quarter of 2009, the tax authorities notified the Company that they disagreed with the Company s responses to their formal assessments. In the first quarter of 2010, the Company filed an appeal to litigate the matter. The Company was notified in April that the first court date related to this matter is scheduled for June 2011. Since any ruling reached by the court will likely be appealed, the final date of resolution and outcome of this matter is uncertain at this time. However, it is possible that factors such as new developments, judgments, or settlements may require the Company to increase its reserve for unrecognized tax benefits by up to $8,500 or decrease its reserve by $5,700, including interest and penalties. If the court rules against the Company in the subsequent court proceedings, a payment of between $6,000 and $9,000 including interest and penalties will be due immediately while the case is appealed. The Company has analyzed these issues in accordance with guidance on uncertain tax positions and believes at this time that its reserves are adequate, and intends to vigorously defend itself.
