Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 reflect royalties paid to third parties of 10%. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we earned $0.5 million in royalties from Merck Serono on their net sales of $11.9 million, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 when we earned $0.3 million in royalties from Merck Serono on their net sales of $8.3 million.

Total cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $17.1 million, compared to $20.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily attributed to the elimination of third party royalty fees paid to SA Pathology on net sales of Naglazyme offset by amortization of the acquired intellectual property and the shift in Aldurazyme revenue mix between royalty revenue and net product revenues. Additionaly, Aldurazyme cost of goods sold during the three months ended March 31, 2012 included a $0.8 million write-off of finished goods inventory.

On October 23, 2009, we acquired Huxley, which has rights to Firdapse for a total purchase price of $37.2 million, of which $15.0 million was paid in cash and $22.2 million represented the acquisition date fair value of contingent acquisition consideration payable. In connection with the acquisition, we agreed to pay the Huxley stockholders additional consideration in future periods of up to $41.9 million (undiscounted) in milestone payments if certain annual sales, cumulative sales and U.S. development milestones are met. During 2011, 2010 and 2009 we made milestone payments of $3.0 million, $6.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, related to the attainment of development milestones.
