Notes to Financial Statements

(1)   The Agreement
 
    Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated January 30, 2003, and amended on May 19, 2003 (the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement), Elan Corporation, plc, Elan Pharma International Limited (“EPIL”), and Elan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Elan/ Elan Group) agreed to sell to King Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Jones Pharma Incorporated, and Monarch Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the King parties) their rights to Sonata ® and Skelaxin ® in the United States of America (U.S.) and Puerto Rico along with related assets and liabilities, and to transfer to the King parties the U.S. Primary Care Sales Force (the Disposal). As part of the Disposal, the King parties also acquired certain intellectual property, regulatory, and other assets relating to Sonata ® directly from Wyeth Pharmaceuticals Division (Wyeth). The Elan Group will continue their development program for enhanced formulations of Sonata ® using the Elan Group’s proprietary drug delivery technologies on behalf of the King parties. This development work, together with a development program to be initiated for an enhanced formulation of Skelaxin ® , will be performed pursuant to formulation development arrangements with the King parties under which the Elan Group will receive development fees and milestone payments contingent upon the achievement of clinical and regulatory milestones. With respect to new formulations of Sonata ® , the Elan Group will retain the commercialisation rights to enhanced formulations utilising the Elan Group’s technology outside the U.S. and may also manufacture any new Sonata ® formulation. The Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement provides that the parties will negotiate in good faith an arrangement relating to the reformulation of Skelaxin ® , which may provide the Elan Group with similar rights.
 
(2)   Basis of Presentation
 
    The statement of net assets to be sold and the statement of revenues and direct expenses have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
 
    The statements have been prepared in order to represent net assets to be sold, as well as revenues and direct expenses, which have been derived from the historical accounting records of Elan Corporation, plc and subsidiaries and reflect significant assumptions and allocations. The statements have been prepared on this basis for the purpose of complying with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
    Elan did not account for the Skelaxin ® and Sonata ® Product Lines as a separate entity. They were integrated into the pharmaceutical segment of Elan Corporation, plc. The statement of net assets to be sold and revenues and direct expenses include certain allocations as discussed in note 3 below. Management of the Elan Group believe that the allocations are reasonable; however, these allocated expenses are not necessarily indicative of costs that would have been incurred related to the Skelaxin ® and Sonata ® Product Lines on a stand-alone basis. Tax expense and interest income have not been included in the accompanying statement of revenues and direct expenses, as they are not specifically identifiable to the Skelaxin ® and Sonata ® Product Lines.
 
    Transaction systems (e.g. payroll, employee benefits, accounts receivable, accounts payable) used to record and account for cash transactions were not designed to track assets/liabilities and receipts/payments on a product specific basis. Given these constraints, and the fact that only certain assets of the Skelaxin ® and Sonata ® Product Lines were sold, a statement of financial position and a full statement of cash flows have not been prepared.

(3)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  (a)   Revenue Recognition
 
      Revenue from the sale of product is recognized at the time the product is shipped. Net sales represents gross sales less discounts, allowances and other deductions.
 
      The four largest customers accounted for approximately 91% of the Skelaxin ® and Sonata ® Product Lines’ net product revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002.
 
  (b)   Use of Estimates
 
      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates. As discussed in note 2, the financial statements include allocations and estimates that are not necessarily indicative of the costs and expenses that would have resulted if the Skelaxin ® and Sonata ® Product Lines had been operated as a separate entity, or of the future results of the Skelaxin ® and Sonata ® Product Lines.
 
  (c)   Fixed Assets
 
      Fixed assets represent automobiles held under capital leases and are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful lives, generally four years.
 
      Fixed assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the total amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and the eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount.
 
  (d)   Inventories
 
      Inventories have been valued at the lower of cost or market value. Cost in the case of raw materials and supplies is calculated on a first-in, first-out basis and comprises the purchase price, including import duties, transport and handling costs and any other directly attributable costs, less trade discounts. Costs in the case of work in process and finished goods comprises direct labor, material costs, and attributable overhead. Inventory on hand is evaluated against historical and planned usage to determine an appropriate provision for obsolete, slow-moving, and non-saleable inventory.

  (e)   Intangible Assets
 
      Product rights are amortized using the straight-line method over the useful life of the products, ranging between 15 and 20 years. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
 
  (f)   Goodwill
 
      The Skelaxin ® and Sonata ® Product Lines represent a portion of “Core Elan,” a reporting unit, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets . Goodwill allocated to Skelaxin ® and Sonata ® is based on the relative fair values of the assets to be disposed of and the portion of the reporting unit that will be retained in accordance with SFAS No. 142.
 
      In accordance with SFAS No. 142, from January 1, 2002, goodwill has not been amortized and is subject to annual impairment testing.
 
  (g)   Selling, Marketing, and Medical Affairs Expenses
 
      Certain selling, marketing, and medical expenses are specifically identifiable and others are allocated to the Skelaxin ® and Sonata ® Product Lines. The expenses are allocated based on the plan of action for the sales force and on headcount activity for all other departments. Such allocated expenses represent management’s best estimate of the charges that are attributable to the Skelaxin ® and Sonata ® Product Lines, and include expenses such as salaries, professional fees, marketing and selling expenses, and other expenses.

    Fixed assets represent the leased automobiles used by the U.S. Primary Care Business Unit sales team that have been assumed by/assigned to King. The net book value at December 31, 2002 is as follows (in US$, thousands):
