Highlight of Business Operations:

Revenues were $362.0 million, $345.0 million and $318.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and consist of royalty revenues as well as other license related revenues. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, our royalty revenues consisted of royalties and maintenance fees earned on sales of products under license agreements associated with our Queen et al. patents. Over this same time period, our other license related revenues primarily consisted of milestone payments from licensees under our patent license agreements as well as a $10.0 million payment in 2011 from our legal settlement with UCB and a $12.5 million payment in 2009 from our legal settlement with Alexion. Our revenues consist primarily of royalty revenues, which represent more than 95% of total revenues for each of the past three years. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011, is net of the payment made under our February 2011 settlement agreement with Novartis, which is based on a portion of the royalties that the company receives from Lucentis sales made by Novartis outside the United States.

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we received royalties of $0.3 million, $0.9 million, and $1.9 million for sales of Mylotarg. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we did not receive royalties for sales of Synagis or Raptiva. For the year ended December 31, 2009, we received royalties of $40.7 million and $1.2 million for sales of Synagis and Raptiva, respectively.

Reported net sales of Herceptin increased $0.7 billion or 13% compared to the same period for the prior year. Roche recently reported that global sales of Herceptin for HER2-postive breast cancer and advanced stomach cancer increased 8% in the first nine months of 2011 driven by further penetration in the early and metastatic breast cancer settings, particularly in emerging markets. Additionally, Roche reported that sales continue to benefit from uptake in advanced HER2-positive stomach cancer in Europe and other markets. While Herceptin net sales increased 13%, royalties on Herceptin only increased 5% due to a shift in site of manufacture: ex-U.S. manufactured and sold Herceptin declined to 35% compared to 44% for the same period in 2010.

Reported sales of Lucentis increased $1.0 billion or 33% compared to the same period for the prior year. Lucentis is approved for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration in the United States and in Europe and received approval for the treatment of macular edema following retinal vein occlusion in June 2010 in the United States and June 2011 in Europe. Reported sales in 2011 increased 27% in the United States and 38% internationally.

We had cash, cash equivalents and investments in the aggregate of $227.9 million and $248.2 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The $20.3 million decrease was primarily attributable to payment of dividends of $83.8 million, repurchase of convertible notes of $133.9 million, including the $0.4 million incentive, repayment of our Non-recourse Notes of $110.9 million, and purchase of call options, including legal fees, of $20.8 million, offset by net cash provided by operating activities of $169.8 million, net proceeds from the issuance of our May 2015 Notes of $149.7 million and $10.9 million from the issuance of warrants. We believe that cash from future royalty revenues, net of operating expenses, debt service and income taxes, plus cash on hand, will be sufficient to fund our operations over the next several years. The last of our Queen et al. patents expire in December 2014, with the obligation to pay royalties under various license agreements expiring sometime thereafter, and we do not expect to receive any meaningful revenue from the inventories produced prior to the expiration of our Queen et al. patents beyond the first quarter of 2016. As such, we are pursuing the acquisition of new royalty generating assets if such royalty assets can be acquired on terms that allow us to increase the return to stockholders.
