NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS

(unaudited)



|1. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|-- | -------------------------------

The significant
accounting policies followed by Pharmaceutical Product Development, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the Company) for interim financial reporting are consistent with the accounting policies followed for annual financial reporting.
The Company prepared these unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and, in managements opinion, has included all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair
presentation. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2006. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other period. The amounts in the
December 31, 2006 consolidated condensed balance sheet are derived from the audited financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying
unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts and results of operations of the Company. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In July 2006, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes  an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, or FIN 48, which establishes a single model to
address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on de-recognition, measurement,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, so the Company adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. The
cumulative impact of applying the provisions of FIN 48 is an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. See Note 8 for further details.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, or SFAS No. 157, which defines fair value as the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In addition, the statement establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating and has not determined the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157
on its financial condition or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans  an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R), or SFAS No. 158. This standard requires employers to recognize the underfunded or overfunded
status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive income.
Additionally, SFAS No. 158 requires employers to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. The recognition of an asset and liability related to the funded status of a plan and the new
disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The Company currently uses a measurement date of November 30 and will be required to change the measurement date to
December 31 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 158 as of December 31, 2006.

Recent accounting pronouncements (continued)

In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities  Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, or SFAS No. 159. This standard permits, but does
not require, all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. For items for which the fair value option has been elected, an entity would report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent
reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating and has not determined the impact of the adoption of SFAS
No. 159 on its financial condition or results of operations.

In June 2007, the FASB reached a consensus on EITF Issue
No. 06-11, Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards. EITF 06-11 requires companies to recognize as an increase to additional paid-in capital the income tax benefit realized from dividends or
dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and paid to employees for nonvested equity-classified employee share-based payment awards. EITF 06-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company does
not expect EITF 06-11 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In June 2007, the FASB reached
a consensus on EITF Issue No. 07-03, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities. EITF 07-03 requires companies to defer and capitalize, until the
goods have been delivered or the related services have been rendered, non-refundable advance payments for goods that will be used or services that will be performed in future research and development activities. EITF 07-03 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company does not expect EITF 07-03 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

Earnings per share

The Company computes basic income per share information based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company computes diluted income per share information based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the effects of any dilutive common
stock equivalents. The Company excluded 58,500 shares and 167,400 shares from the calculation of earnings per diluted share during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively, and 1,388,000 shares and 1,291,800 shares from the
calculation of earnings per diluted share during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively, because they were antidilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its share-based compensation plans using the provisions of SFAS
No. 123 (revised), Share-Based Payment. Accordingly, the Company measures stock-based compensation cost at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and recognizes it as expense over the employees requisite service
period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company granted approximately 1,323,000 options with a weighted-average
exercise price of $33.80. This amount includes approximately 1,075,000 shares granted in the Companys annual grant on February 21, 2007. All options were granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Companys common
stock on the grant date. The fair value of the Companys common stock on the grant date is equal to the Nasdaq closing price of the Companys stock on the date of grant, except for shares granted under the U.K. Subplan where the fair value
of the Companys common stock on the grant date is equal to the average of the high and low price of the Companys common stock on the date of grant as reported by Nasdaq. The weighted-average grant date fair value per share and the
aggregate fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $10.80 and $14.3 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had 6.4 million options outstanding.

Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments

The Company has equity
investments in publicly traded entities. The Company classifies investments in marketable equity securities as available-for-sale securities and measures them at market value. The Company determines realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity
investments in publicly traded entities on a specific identification basis. The Company records net unrealized gains or losses associated with investments in publicly traded entities as a component of shareholders equity until they are
realized or an other-than-temporary decline has occurred. The market value of the Companys equity investments in publicly traded entities is based on the closing price as quoted by the applicable stock exchange or market on the last day of the
reporting period. The Companys equity investments in publicly traded companies are classified as long-term assets due to the Companys ability to hold its investments long-term, the strategic nature of the investments and the lack of
liquidity in the public markets for these securities. As of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, gross unrealized gains on investments in marketable securities were $0.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2006
and June 30, 2007, gross unrealized losses on investments in marketable securities were $0 and $3.7 million, respectively.

The
unrealized loss of $3.7 million as of June 30, 2007 related to the Companys investment in 4.3 million shares of Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. common stock. The Company owned approximately 11.7% of Accentias outstanding
common stock as of June 30, 2007. The security has been in a loss position for less than four months. Based upon review of Accentias financial position and the Companys ability and intent to hold its investment for a period of time
sufficient for a forecasted recovery of fair value, the Company did not consider this to be an other-than temporary impairment at June 30, 2007.

In June 2002, the Company purchased approximately 0.7 million units of BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one warrant for common stock. In June 2007, the
Company sold all 0.7 million of its outstanding warrants at various prices for total proceeds of $0.1 million, resulting in a loss of $0.2 million. In addition, the Company sold 67,924 shares of common stock in BioDelivery Sciences
International for total proceeds of $0.3 million, resulting in a gain of $0.1 million. The Company owned approximately 3.3% of BioDelivery Sciences Internationals outstanding common stock as of June 30, 2007.

The Company also has investments in privately held entities in the form of equity and convertible debt instruments that are not publicly traded and for
which fair values are not readily determinable. The Company records all of its investments in private entities under the cost method of accounting. The Company determines realized and unrealized gains and losses on a specific identification basis.
The Company assesses the net realizable value of these entities on a quarterly basis to determine if there has been a decline in the fair value of these entities, and if so, if the decline is other-than-temporary. This quarterly review includes an
evaluation of the entity, including, among other things, the market condition of its overall industry, historical and projected financial performance, expected cash needs, and recent funding events, as well as the Companys expected holding
period and the length of time and the extent to which the fair value of the investment has been less than cost. This impairment analysis requires significant judgment.

In September 2005, the Company became a limited partner in Bay City Capital Fund IV, L.P., a venture capital fund established in July 2004 for the purpose of investing in life sciences companies. The Company has
committed to invest up to a maximum of $10.0 million in this fund. Aggregate capital calls through June 30, 2007 totaled $4.3 million. Because no capital call can exceed 20% of the Companys aggregate capital commitment, the Company
anticipates its remaining capital commitment of $5.7 million will be made through a series of future capital calls over the next two years. The Company owned approximately 2.9% of the Bay City Fund IV as of June 30, 2007. The Companys
capital commitment will expire in June 2009.

In May 2007, the Company became a limited partner in Bay City Capital Fund V, L.P., a venture capital fund established for the purpose of investing in
life sciences companies. The Company has committed to invest up to a maximum of $10.0 million in this fund. As of June 30, 2007, there have not been any capital calls. Because no capital call can exceed 20% of the Companys aggregate
capital commitment, the Company anticipates its capital commitment will be made through a series of future capital calls over the term of its commitment. The Companys capital commitment will expire on the fifth anniversary of the initial
capital call.

In November 2003, the Company became a limited partner in A. M. Pappas Life Science Ventures III, L.P., a venture capital
fund established for the purpose of making investments in equity securities of privately held companies in the life sciences, healthcare and technology industries. The Company has committed to invest up to a maximum of $4.8 million in this fund.
Aggregate capital calls through June 30, 2007 were $1.5 million. In January 2007, the Pappas Fund made a cash distribution to its owners of which the Companys portion was approximately $0.4 million. Because no capital call can exceed 10%
of the Companys aggregate capital commitment, the Company anticipates that its remaining capital commitment of $3.3 million will be made through a series of future capital calls over the next two years. The Company owned approximately 4.7% of
the Pappas Fund as of June 30, 2007. The Companys capital commitment will expire in May 2009.

In February 2006, the Company entered into an $80.0 million construction loan facility with Bank
of America, N.A. Borrowings under this credit facility were used to finance the construction of the Companys new corporate headquarters building and related parking facility in Wilmington, North Carolina, and bore interest at an annual
fluctuating rate equal to the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus a margin of 0.6%. Interest on amounts borrowed under this construction loan facility was payable quarterly. The credit facility was scheduled to mature in February
2008, but during the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company repaid all outstanding borrowings, totaling $74.8 million, under this facility.

Effective July 1, 2007, the Company renewed its $50.0 million revolving line of credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. Indebtedness under the facility is unsecured and subject to covenants relating to
financial ratios and restrictions on certain types of transactions. This revolving credit facility does not expressly restrict or limit the payment of dividends. The Company was in compliance with all loan covenants as of June 30, 2007.
Outstanding borrowings under the facility bear interest at an annual fluctuating rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 0.6%. Borrowings under this credit facility are available to provide working capital and for general corporate
purposes. This credit facility is currently scheduled to expire in June 2008, at which time any outstanding balance will be due. As of June 30, 2007, no borrowings were outstanding under this credit facility, although the aggregate amount
available for borrowing had been reduced by $1.2 million due to outstanding letters of credit issued under this facility.



|8. | INCOME TAXES
|-- | ------------

The Company adopted the provisions of
FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes  an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, or FIN 48, on January 1, 2007. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had recorded a contingent
tax liability of $9.1 million. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company reclassified $8.2 million of this liability to non-current liabilities and recognized an increase in this non-current liability of $22.8 million. This increase
was accounted for as a $5.6 million decrease in retained earnings, a $15.9 million increase in deferred tax assets, and a $1.3 million increase in long-term assets as of January 1, 2007. The non-current liabilities are included in deferred rent
and other and the non-current assets are included in other long-term assets on the Companys consolidated condensed balance sheet.

The Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $28.2 million as of January 1, 2007. Of this total, $11.6 million, net of the federal benefit on state taxes, is the amount that, if recognized, would result in a
reduction of the Companys effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate a significant change in total unrecognized tax benefits or the Companys effective tax rate due to the settlement of audits and the expiration of statute of
limitations within the next 12 months.

|8. | INCOME TAXES (continued)
|-- | ------------------------



The Companys policy for recording interest and penalties associated with tax audits is to record them as a component of provision for income taxes.
In conjunction with the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized approximately $4.0 million for the payment of interest and penalties at January 1, 2007. To the extent interest and penalties are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax
positions, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision.

The Company has analyzed
filing positions in all of the significant federal, state and foreign jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as open tax years in these jurisdictions. The only periods subject to examination by the major tax
jurisdictions where the Company does business are the 2003 through 2006 tax years. Various foreign income tax returns are under examination by taxing authorities. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any examination will have a material
impact on its financial condition or results of operations.



|9. | PENSION PLAN
|-- | ------------

The Company determines pension costs
under the provisions of SFAS No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions and related disclosures are determined under the provisions of SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), Employers Disclosures about Pensions and other
Postretirement Benefits as modified by SFAS No. 158.

The Company has a separate contributory defined benefit plan for its
qualifying United Kingdom employees employed by the Companys U.K. subsidiaries. This pension plan was closed to new participants as of December 31, 2002. The benefits for the U.K. Plan are based primarily on years of service and average
pay at retirement. Plan assets consist principally of investments managed in a mixed fund.

Pension costs for the U.K. Plan included the
following components:

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company made contributions totaling $2.0 million
and it anticipates contributing an additional $0.5 million to fund this plan during the remainder of 2007.

|10. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
|--- | -----------------------------

The Company
currently maintains insurance for risks associated with the operation of its business, provision of professional services, and ownership of property. These policies provide coverage for a variety of potential losses, including loss or damage to
property, bodily injury, general commercial liability, professional errors and omissions, and medical malpractice. The Companys retentions and deductibles associated with these insurance policies range from $0.25 million to $2.5 million.

The Company is self-insured for health insurance for the majority of its employees located within the United States, but maintains
stop-loss insurance on a claims made basis for expenses in excess of $0.28 million per member per year. As of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, the Company maintained a reserve of approximately $7.4 million and $5.0 million,
respectively, included in other accrued expenses on the consolidated condensed balance sheets, to cover open claims and estimated claims incurred but not reported.

The Company has commitments to invest an aggregate additional $19.0 million in three venture capital funds. For further details, see Note 5.

The Company has been involved in compound development and commercialization collaborations since 1997. The Company developed a risk-sharing research and
development model to help pharmaceutical and biotechnology clients develop compounds. Through collaboration arrangements based on this model, the Company assists its clients by sharing the risks and potential rewards associated with the development
and commercialization of drugs at various stages of development. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had four such arrangements that involve the potential future receipt of one or more of the following: payments upon the achievement of development
and regulatory milestones; royalty payments if the compound is approved for sale; sales-based milestone payments; and a share of net sales up to a specified dollar limit. The compounds that are the subject of these collaborations are still in
development and have not been approved for sale in any country.

The Companys collaboration with ALZA Corporation, a subsidiary of
Johnson & Johnson, for dapoxetine requires the Company to pay a royalty to Eli Lilly & Company of 5% on annual net sales of the compound in excess of $800 million. ALZA received a not approvable letter from the FDA in
October 2005, but has continued its global development program and has said that it intends to file a marketing application for dapoxetine in Europe in late 2007 and is evaluating the possibility of a filing in Canada. As a result of the risks
associated with drug development, including obtaining regulatory approval to sell in any country, the receipt of any further milestone payments, royalties or other payments with respect to any of the Companys drug development collaborations is
uncertain.

In February 2007, the Company exercised an option to license from Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd. a statin compound that the Company
intends to develop as a treatment for dyslipidemia, a metabolic disorder often characterized by high cholesterol levels. The option was exercised pursuant to an agreement entered into effective as of December 15, 2006. Upon exercise of the
option, the Company paid a one-time license fee of $0.25 million. Under the agreement, the Company has an exclusive license to make, use, sell, import and sublicense the compound and any licensed product anywhere in the world for any human use.
Ranbaxy retained a non-exclusive right to co-market licensed products in India and generic equivalents in any country in the world in which a third party has sold the generic equivalent of a licensed product. The Company is solely responsible, and
will bear all costs and expenses, for the development, manufacture, marketing and commercialization of the compound and licensed products. In addition to the one-time license fee, the Company is obligated to pay Ranbaxy milestone payments upon the
occurrence of specified clinical development events. If a licensed product is approved for sale, the Company must also pay Ranbaxy royalties based on sales of the product, as well as commercial milestone payments based on the achievement of
specified worldwide sales targets. If all criteria are met, the total amount of potential clinical and sales-based milestones would be $44.0 million. The Company filed the investigational new drug application, or IND, for the statin compound in late
March 2007. The Company completed a single ascending dose, first-in-human study for this statin in June 2007, and the compound was safe and well tolerated at all doses in this trial. The Company recently commenced a first-in-patient study and plans
to proceed into a Phase II proof-of-concept study in the fourth quarter of 2007. In addition, the Company initiated a drug-drug interaction study to determine if there is any interaction between the Companys statin and gemfibrozil, a fibrate
commonly used to lower triglycerides.

|--- | -----------------------------------------



Under most of its agreements for Development services, the Company agrees to indemnify and defend the sponsor against third-party claims based on the
Companys negligence or willful misconduct. Any successful claims could have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to various claims and legal proceedings, including claims for alleged breaches of contract. In
one proceeding against the Company, a former client claimed the Company breached its contract and committed tortious acts in conducting a clinical trial. That former client claimed that it did not owe the Company the remaining amounts due under the
contract and sought other damages from the Companys alleged breach of contract and tortious acts. This matter was settled in April 2007 and did not have a material impact on the Companys financial condition or results of operations. In
addition, in early 2007 the Company was named as a co-defendant in various lawsuits involving claims relating to Sanofi-Aventis FDA-approved antibiotic Ketek, for which the Company provided certain clinical trial services. The Company records
a reserve for pending and threatened litigation matters when an adverse outcome is probable and the amount of the potential liability is reasonably estimable. Although the ultimate outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, management
of the Company, after consultation with legal counsel, does not believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material effect upon the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Company Overview

We are a leading
global contract research organization providing drug discovery and development services, post-approval expertise and compound partnering programs. Our clients and partners include pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, academic and
government organizations. Our corporate mission is to help clients and partners maximize returns on their research and development investments and accelerate the delivery of safe and effective therapeutics to patients.

We have been in the drug development business for more than 21 years. Our development services include preclinical programs and Phase I to Phase IV
clinical development services as well as bioanalytical product testing and clinical laboratory services. We have extensive clinical trial experience including regional, national and global studies across a multitude of therapeutic areas and in
various parts of the world. In addition, for marketed drugs, biologics and devices, we offer support such as product launch services, medical information, patient compliance programs, patient and disease registry programs, product safety and
pharmacovigilance, Phase IV monitored studies and prescription-to-over-the-counter programs.

With offices in 28 countries and more than
9,700 professionals worldwide, we have provided services to 45 of the top 50 pharmaceutical companies in the world as ranked by 2005 healthcare research and development spending. We also work with leading biotechnology and medical device companies
and government organizations that sponsor clinical research. We are one of the worlds largest providers of drug development services to pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies and government organizations based on 2006
annual net revenues generated from contract research organizations.

Building on our outsourcing relationship with pharmaceutical and
biotechnology clients, we established our discovery services business in 1997. This business primarily focuses on preclinical evaluations of anticancer and diabetes therapies, biomarker discovery and patient sample analysis services, and compound
development and commercialization collaborations. We have developed a risk-sharing research and development model to help pharmaceutical and biotechnology clients develop compounds. Through collaborative arrangements based on this model, we assist
our clients by sharing the risks and potential rewards of the development and commercialization of drugs at various stages of development.

Our integrated drug discovery and development services offer our clients a way to identify and develop drug candidates more quickly and cost-effectively. In addition, with global infrastructure, we are able to accommodate the multinational
drug discovery and development needs of our clients. As a result of having core areas of expertise in discovery and development, we provide integrated services across the drug development spectrum. We use our proprietary informatics technology to
support these services. For more detailed information on PPD, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Executive Overview

Our revenues are dependent on a relatively small number of industries and clients. As a result, we closely monitor the market for our services. For a discussion of the trends affecting our market, see Item 1.
BusinessTrends Affecting the Drug Discovery and Development Industry in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Although we cannot predict the demand for CRO services for the remainder of 2007, we
continue to believe that the traditional market drivers for our industry are intact. The volume of requests for proposals for our Phase II-IV clinical development services for the first six months of 2007 was comparable to the record period of the
first half of 2006, so the demand for these services appears to be strong. Despite what appears to be a strong market, our new authorizations for the second quarter of 2007 were lower than expected. As a result, for the remainder of 2007, we intend
to focus our resources on our business development efforts to increase our sales. We also plan to continue managing our recent growth and delivering timely, high quality services to our clients, which is fundamental to our business and future
growth.

We believe there are specific opportunities for continued growth in certain areas of our business. Our Global Phase II through IV
units had strong operating and financial performance in the first half of 2007, and we expect to see continued revenue growth in the remainder of 2007. We continue to add headcount within Phase II-IV global operations and are adding new offices in
several countries and expanding our operations in others. Our bioanalytical laboratory also achieved strong revenue growth in the first half of 2007 and demand remains strong for LC/MS and immunochemistry services. Our GMP laboratory added 13 new
clients in the second quarter of 2007 and demand from our European client base is increasing. The revenue in our central laboratory in the second quarter of 2007 was below our expectations due to slow specimen flow on several large awards where
study start-up was delayed by the client. However, new central laboratory authorizations were well above our second quarter forecast, which we believe is evidence of solid demand for these services.

During the second quarter of 2007, we focused on recruiting for certain senior management and other positions within the Company. In May 2007, we hired
William J. Sharbaugh as our new Chief Operating Officer. We are also actively recruiting for a Chief Financial Officer and selected other management positions to fill recent vacancies. We are pleased with the progress to date and plan to continue
with our recruiting efforts.

We review various metrics to evaluate our financial performance, including period-to-period changes in
backlog, new authorizations, cancellation rates, revenue, margins and earnings. In the second quarter of 2007, we had new authorizations of $473.0 million, a decrease of 0.6% over the second quarter of 2006. The cancellation rate for the second
quarter of 2007 was 26.0%, higher than expected due in part to the low second quarter 2007 authorizations. Despite the lower-than-expected new authorizations in the second quarter, backlog grew to $2,386 million as of June 30, 2007, up 17.7%
over June 30, 2006. The average length of the contracts in our backlog decreased to 31.3 months as of June 30, 2007 from 37.1 months as of June 30, 2006.

Backlog by client type as of June 30, 2007 was 49.3% pharmaceutical, 37.2% biotech and 13.5% government/other as compared to 51.6% pharmaceutical, 33.6% biotech and 14.8% government/other as of June 30,
2006. This change in the composition of our backlog is primarily the result of a decrease in authorizations from pharmaceutical companies and an increase in authorizations from biotech companies since June 2006. Net revenue by client type for the
quarter ended June 30, 2007 was 59.1% pharmaceutical, 29.4% biotech and 11.5% government/other compared to 58.8% pharmaceutical, 28.8% biotech and 12.4% government/other for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.

For the second quarter of 2007, net revenue contribution by service area was 81.7% for Phase II-IV services, 13.3% for laboratory services, 3.6% for the
Phase I clinic and 1.4% for discovery sciences compared to net revenue contribution for the year ended December 31, 2006 of 78.0% for Phase II-IV services, 15.3% for laboratory services, 3.8% for the Phase I clinic and 2.9% for discovery
sciences. Top therapeutic areas by net revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were oncology, anti-infective/anti-viral, endocrine/metabolic, circulatory/cardiovascular and central nervous system. For a detailed discussion of our revenue,
margins, earnings and other financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, see Results of Operations  Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 versus Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 below.

Capital expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $24.7 million. These capital
expenditures were primarily for computer software and hardware, construction costs for our new corporate headquarters building, scientific equipment for our laboratory units, and various building improvements. We made these investments to support
our growing businesses and to improve the efficiencies of our operations. For the remainder of 2007, we expect to spend $37 million to $42 million for capital expenditures. The majority of the remaining forecasted capital expenditures are related to
the up-fit costs for facilities, information technology expenditures and additional laboratory equipment.

As of June 30, 2007, we had
$403.1 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. In the second quarter of 2007, we generated $23.6 million in cash from operations. The number of days revenue outstanding in accounts receivable and unbilled services, net of
unearned income, also known as DSO, was 46.1 days for the six months ended June 30, 2007, up from 44.0 days for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in DSO is the result of, among other things, longer contractual payment terms,
resulting in our accounts receivable aged more than 60 days increasing from 8.6% of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2006 to 13.2% of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2007. We are closely monitoring the timely billing and
collection of receivables in accordance with our contractual payment terms, however DSO will continue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on future contract terms, the mix of contracts performed, and our success in collecting receivables.

With regard to our compound partnering arrangements, the dipeptidyl peptidase, or DPP4, program in type 2 diabetes with Takeda
Pharmaceuticals continues to progress. In addition, ALZA Corporation, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, said that it intends to file a marketing application for dapoxetine in Europe in late 2007 and is evaluating the possibility of a
filing in Canada. Finally, Accentia continues to advance the SinuNase Phase III program for chronic sinusitis and has indicated that it expects to see results before the end of 2007.

In February 2007, we exercised an option to license a statin compound from Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd. that we are developing as a treatment for
dyslipidemia, a metabolic disorder often characterized by high cholesterol levels. We are solely responsible, and will bear all costs and expenses, for the development, manufacture, marketing and commercialization of the compound and licensed
products. We filed the investigational new drug application, or IND, for the statin compound in late March 2007. We completed a single ascending dose, first-in-human study for this statin in June 2007, and the compound was safe and well tolerated at
all doses in this trial. We recently commenced a first-in-patient study and plan to proceed into a Phase II proof-of-concept study in the fourth quarter of 2007. In addition, we initiated a drug-drug interaction study to determine if there is any
interaction between our statin and gemfibrozil, a fibrate commonly used to lower triglycerides. As a result of the progression of the clinical development of this compound, we expect to incur significantly higher research and development expenses in
the second half of 2007.

These drug development collaborations allow us to leverage our resources and global drug development expertise to
create new opportunities for growth and to share the risks and potential rewards of drug development with our clients. For a background discussion of our compound partnering arrangements, see Item 1. Business  Our Services  Our
Discovery Sciences Group  Compound Collaboration Programs in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. We believe our compound partnering strategy uses our cash resources and drug development expertise to
drive mid- to long-term shareholder value. In the remainder of 2007, we plan to continue advancing our existing collaborations and evaluate new potential strategies and opportunities in this area.

New Business Authorizations and Backlog

New business
authorizations, which are sales of our services, are added to backlog when we enter into a contract or letter of intent or receive a verbal commitment. Authorizations can vary significantly from quarter to quarter and contracts generally have terms
ranging from several months to several years. We recognize revenue on these authorizations as services are performed. Our new authorizations for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007 were $475.9 million and $473.0 million, respectively.

Our backlog consists of new business authorizations for which the work has not started but is anticipated to begin in the future and
contracts in process that have not been completed. As of June 30, 2007, the remaining duration of the contracts in our backlog ranged from one to 118 months, with an average duration of 31.3 months. We expect the average duration of the
contracts in our backlog to fluctuate from quarter to quarter in the future, based on the contracts constituting our backlog at any given time. Amounts included in backlog represent future revenue and exclude revenue

that we have previously recognized. We adjust backlog on a monthly basis to account for fluctuations in exchange rates. Once work begins on a project
included in backlog, we recognize net revenue over the life of the contract as services are performed. Our backlog as of June 30, 2006 and 2007 was $2,027 million and $2,386 million, respectively. For various reasons discussed in Item 1.
Business  Backlog in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, our backlog might never be recognized as revenue and is not necessarily a meaningful predictor of future performance.

Results of Operations

Revenue Recognition

We record revenue from contracts, other than time-and-material contracts, on a proportional performance basis in our Development and
Discovery Sciences segments. To measure performance on a given date, we compare direct costs through that date to estimated total direct costs to complete the contract. Direct costs relate primarily to the amount of labor and labor related overhead
costs for the delivery of services. We believe this is the best indicator of the performance of the contractual obligations. Increases in the estimated total direct costs to complete a contract without a corresponding proportional increase to the
contract value result in a cumulative adjustment to the amount of revenue recognized in the period the change in estimate is determined. For time-and-material contracts in both our Development and Discovery Sciences segments, we recognize revenue as
hours are worked, multiplied by the applicable hourly rate. For our Phase I, laboratory and biomarker businesses, we recognize revenue from unitized contracts as subjects or samples are tested, multiplied by the applicable unit price. We offer
volume discounts to our large customers based on annual volume thresholds. We record an estimate of the annual volume rebate as a reduction of revenue throughout the period based on the estimated total rebate to be earned for the period.

In connection with the management of clinical trials, we pay, on behalf of our clients, fees to investigators and test subjects as well as other
out-of-pocket costs for items such as travel, printing, meetings and couriers, and our clients reimburse us for these costs. As required by Emerging Issues Task Force 01-14, amounts paid by us as a principal for out-of-pocket costs are included in
direct costs as reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses and the reimbursements we receive as a principal are reported as reimbursed out-of-pocket revenue. In our statements of operations, we combine amounts paid by us as an agent for out-of-pocket costs
with the corresponding reimbursements, or revenue, we receive as an agent. During the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, fees paid to investigators and other fees we paid as an agent and the associated reimbursements were approximately
$68.3 million and $91.2 million, respectively.

Most of our contracts can be terminated by our clients either immediately or after a
specified period following notice. These contracts typically require the client to pay us the expenses to wind down the study, fees earned to date and, in some cases, a termination fee or some portion of the fees or profit that we could have earned
under the contract if it had not been terminated early. Therefore, revenue recognized prior to cancellation generally does not require a significant adjustment upon cancellation. If we determine that a loss will result from the performance of a
contract, the entire amount of the estimated loss is charged against income in the period in which such determination is made.

The
Discovery Sciences segment also generates revenue from time to time in the form of milestone payments in connection with licensing of compounds. We only recognize milestone payments as revenue if the specified milestone is achieved and accepted by
the client, and continued performance of future research and development services related to that milestone is not required.

Recording
of Expenses

We generally record our operating expenses among the following categories:



| |  |  | direct costs;
| | - |  | -------------



| |  |  | research and development;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | selling, general and administrative;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | depreciation; and
| | - |  | -----------------



| |  |  | amortization.
| | - |  | -------------

Direct costs consist
of amounts necessary to carry out the revenue and earnings process, and include direct labor and related benefit charges, other costs directly related to contracts, an allocation of facility and information technology costs, and reimbursable
out-of-pocket expenses. Direct costs, as a percentage of net revenue, tend to and are expected to fluctuate from one period to another as a result of changes in labor utilization and the mix of service offerings involved in the hundreds of studies
being conducted during any period of time.

##### Table of Contents

Research and development, or R&D, expenses consist primarily of patent expenses, labor and related
benefit charges associated with personnel performing internal research and development work, supplies associated with this work, consulting services and an allocation of facility and information technology costs.

Selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses consist primarily of administrative payroll and related benefit charges, sales, advertising
and promotional expenses, recruiting and relocation expenses, training costs, administrative travel, an allocation of facility and information technology costs, and costs related to operational employees performing administrative tasks.

We record depreciation expenses on a straight-line method, based on estimated useful lives of 40 to 50 years for buildings, five years for laboratory
equipment, two to five years for software, computers and related equipment, and five to ten years for furniture and equipment, except for aircrafts, which we depreciate over 30 years. We depreciate leasehold improvements over the shorter of the life
of the relevant lease or the useful life of the improvement. We depreciate property under capital leases over the life of the asset or the lease term, whichever is shorter.

We record amortization expenses on intangible assets on a straight-line method over the life of the intangible assets.

Total net revenue increased $41.0 million to $350.0 million in the second quarter of 2007. The increase
in total net revenue resulted primarily from an increase in our Development segment revenue. The Development segment generated net revenue of $316.5 million, which accounted for 90.4% of total net revenue for the second quarter of 2007. The 13.5%
increase in Development net revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in the level of Phase II through IV services we provided in the second quarter of 2007 as compared to 2006.

Total direct costs increased $21.3 million to $188.9 million in the second quarter of 2007 primarily as the result of an increase in the Development
segment direct costs. Development direct costs increased $17.5 million to $157.5 million in the second quarter of 2007. The primary reason for this was an increase in personnel costs of $14.6 million due to the addition of over 750 new employees in
our global Phase II through IV division. The remaining increase in development direct costs is primarily due to increased facility costs of $1.7 million as a result of the increase in personnel and an increase in professional fees of $1.4 million.
Direct costs in the second quarter of 2007 were negatively impacted by approximately $3.4 million due to foreign currency fluctuation, as discussed below.

R&D expenses increased $2.7 million to $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2007. In February 2007, we exercised an option from Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd. to license a statin compound that we are developing as a
treatment for dyslipidemia, a metabolic disorder often characterized by high cholesterol levels. The increase in R&D expense in the second quarter of 2007 is primarily due to development costs associated with this compound. We are solely
responsible for all costs and expenses for the development, manufacture, marketing and commercialization of the compound and licensed products. We plan to continue evaluating other compound partnering strategies and opportunities to drive mid- and
long-term shareholder value. As a result of this new collaboration and any other compound partnering transaction that we might enter into in 2007, our R&D expense will increase in 2007 as compared to 2006.

SG&A expenses increased $2.5 million to $82.1 million in the second quarter of 2007. As a percentage of total net revenue, SG&A expenses
decreased from 25.8% in the second quarter of 2006 to 23.5% in the second quarter of 2007. The increase in SG&A expenses in absolute terms includes additional personnel costs of $3.5 million due to hiring additional operations infrastructure and
administrative personnel to support expanding operations and revenue growth. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in travel expenses of $1.0 million.

Depreciation expense increased $2.5 million to $13.8 million in the second quarter of 2007. The increase was related to property and equipment we acquired to accommodate our growth. Capital expenditures were $24.7
million in the second quarter of 2007. Capital expenditures included $10.9 million for computer software and hardware, $6.9 million for our new corporate headquarters building, $3.6 million for additional scientific equipment for our laboratory
units and $3.5 million related to leasehold improvements at various sites. We expected depreciation to increase in 2007 as a result of substantial investments over the past couple years in information technology systems to support our global Phase
II-IV business and the additional depreciation related to our new corporate headquarters building.

Income from operations increased $12.1
million from $49.0 million in the second quarter of 2006 to $61.1 million in the second quarter of 2007. Income from operations in the second quarter of 2007 was negatively impacted by approximately $3.1 million of foreign currency fluctuation,
primarily due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the pound sterling and euro. Although these currency movements increased net revenue in the aggregate, the negative impact on income from operations is attributable to dollar-denominated
contracts for services rendered in countries other than the United States. In these cases, revenue is not impacted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar, but the costs associated with performing these contracts and maintaining the foreign
infrastructure, which are paid in local currency, increase when translated to U.S. dollars, resulting in lower operating profits.

Interest
and other income, net decreased $0.5 million to $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2007. The higher interest and other income in the second quarter of 2006 was mainly attributable to several one-time gains during the second quarter of 2006,
offset in part by an increase in interest income in 2007 resulting from higher interest rates and a 19.4% increase in our average cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance in the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the second
quarter of 2006.

Our provision for income taxes increased $5.3 million to $22.5 million in the second quarter of 2007 due to an increase
in pre-tax income. Our effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2007 was 34.5% compared to 32.0% for the second quarter of 2006. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2006 was positively impacted by the recognition of state tax
benefits and the closing of audit periods for several state tax positions. These reductions decreased the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2006 by 5.3%. The remaining difference in our effective tax

rates for the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006 is due to an increase in nontaxable income from cash investments and the change
in geographic distribution of our pretax earnings among locations with varying tax rates.

Net income of $42.6 million in the second
quarter of 2007 represents an increase of 17.1% from $36.4 million in the second quarter of 2006. Net income per diluted share of $0.36 in the second quarter of 2007 represents a 16.1% increase from net income per diluted share of $0.31 in the
second quarter of 2006.

Total net revenue increased $73.9 million to $682.2 million in the first six months of 2007. The
increase in total net revenue resulted primarily from an increase in our Development segment revenue partially offset by a decrease in our Discovery Sciences segment revenue. The Development segment generated net revenue of $616.7 million, which
accounted for 90.4% of total net revenue for the first six months of 2007. The 14.9% increase in Development net revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in the level of Phase II through IV services we provided in the first six months of
2007 as compared to the first six months of 2006.

The Discovery Sciences segment generated net revenue of $8.9 million in the first six
months of 2007, a decrease of $14.6 million from the first six months of 2006. The higher 2006 Discovery Sciences net revenue was mainly attributable to the $15.0 million milestone payment we earned from Takeda in March 2006 under the DPP4 agreement
as a result of dosing of the twentieth patient in the Phase III trial.

Total direct costs increased $49.8 million to $370.9 million in the first six months of 2007, primarily
as the result of an increase in Development segment direct costs. Development direct costs increased $41.0 million to $309.4 million in the first six months of 2007. The primary reason for this was an increase in personnel costs of $32.2 million due
to the addition of over 750 new employees in our global Phase II through IV division. The remaining increase in development direct costs is primarily due to increased facility costs of $5.4 million as a result of the increase in personnel and an
increase in professional fees of $4.4 million. Direct costs in the first six months of 2007 were negatively impacted by approximately $6.7 million due to foreign currency fluctuation, as discussed below.

R&D expenses increased $3.9 million to $5.9 million in the first six months of 2007. In February 2007, we exercised an option from Ranbaxy
Laboratories Ltd. to license a statin compound that we are developing as a treatment for dyslipidemia, a metabolic disorder often characterized by high cholesterol levels. The increase in R&D expense in the first six months of 2007 is primarily
due to development costs associated with this compound. We are solely responsible for all costs and expenses for the development, manufacture, marketing and commercialization of the compound and licensed products. We plan to continue evaluating
other compound partnering strategies and opportunities to drive mid- and long-term shareholder value. As a result of this new collaboration and any other compound partnering transaction that we might enter into in 2007, our R&D expense will
increase during 2007 as compared to 2006.

SG&A expenses increased $5.3 million to $157.9 million in the first six months of 2007. As a
percentage of total net revenue, SG&A expenses decreased to 23.1% in the first six months of 2007 compared to 25.1% in the first six months of 2006. The increase in SG&A expenses in absolute terms includes additional personnel costs of $8.4
million due to hiring additional operations infrastructure and administrative personnel to support expanding operations and revenue growth, as well as an additional $1.2 million in facility costs related to the increase in personnel. These increases
were partially offset by decreases in travel costs of $1.6 million, loss on disposal of assets of $1.4 million and contract labor costs of $0.8 million.

Depreciation expense increased $4.0 million to $26.3 million in the first six months of 2007. The increase was related to property and equipment we acquired to accommodate our growth. Capital expenditures were $57.4
million in the first six months of 2007. We expect depreciation to increase in 2007 as a result of substantial investments over the past couple years in information technology systems to support our global Phase II-IV business and the additional
depreciation related to our new corporate headquarters building.

Income from operations increased $11.2 million to $121.1 million in the
first six months of 2007. Income from operations in the first six months of 2007 was negatively impacted by approximately $4.9 million of foreign currency fluctuation, primarily due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the pound sterling
and euro. Although these currency movements increased net revenue in the aggregate, the negative impact on income from operations is attributable to dollar-denominated contracts for services rendered in countries other than the United States. In
these cases, revenue is not impacted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar, but the costs associated with performing these contracts and maintaining the foreign infrastructure, which are paid in local currency, increase when translated to U.S.
dollars, resulting in lower operating profits. Income from operations in the first six months of 2006 included a $15.0 million milestone payment from Takeda under the DPP4 collaboration agreement.

Interest and other income, net increased $1.1 million to $8.6 million in the first six months of 2007. Interest and other income in the first six months
of 2006 included several one-time gains during the second quarter of 2006, offset in part by an increase in interest income in 2007 resulting from higher interest rates and a 27.1% increase in our average cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments balance in the first six months of 2007 as compared to the first six months of 2006.

Our provision for income taxes increased
$5.9 million to $45.1 million in the first six months of 2007. Our effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2007 was 34.7% compared to 33.4% for the first six months of 2006. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2006 was
positively impacted by the recognition of state tax benefits and the closing of audit periods for several state tax positions. These reductions decreased the effective tax rate for the first six months of 2006 by 2.4%. The remaining difference in
our effective tax rates for the first six months of 2007 compared to the first six months of 2006 is due to an increase in nontaxable income from cash investments and the change in the geographic distribution of our pretax earnings among locations
with varying tax rates.

Net income of $84.6 million in the first six months of 2007 represents an increase of 8.1% from $78.3 million in
the first six months of 2006. Net income per diluted share of $0.71 in the first six months of 2007 represents a 7.6% increase from net income per diluted share of $0.66 in the first six months of 2006. Earnings per diluted share for the first six
months of 2006 included $0.08 per diluted share related to the Takeda DPP4 milestone.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2007, we had $107.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, and $295.4 million of short-term investments. Our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are invested in financial
instruments that are rated A or better by Standard & Poors or Moodys and earn interest at market rates. Our expected primary cash needs on both a short- and long-term basis are for capital expenditures, expansion of services,
possible acquisitions, investments and compound partnering collaborations, geographic expansion, dividends, working capital and other general corporate purposes. We have historically funded our operations, dividends and growth, including
acquisitions, primarily with cash flow from operations.

In the first six months of 2007, our operating activities provided $84.6 million
in cash as compared to $104.8 million for the same period last year. The primary decreases in cash flow from operating activities, comparing the two periods mentioned above, were due to a decrease in accounts payable and other accrued expenses of
$19.0 million, an increase in receivables of $8.0 million, an increase in advance payments of $5.3 million, a decrease in current income taxes of $4.3 million, a decrease in unearned income of $4.1 million and an increase in other assets of $4.1
million. These uses of cash were partially offset by an increase in payables to investigators of $14.2 million. The decrease in accounts payable and other accrued expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the six months
ended June 30, 2006 was due to decreases in benefit accruals and accruals related to software license and maintenance agreements.

In
the first six months of 2007, we used $96.7 million of cash in investing activities. We used cash to purchase available-for-sale investments of $177.0 million, make capital expenditures of $57.4 million and purchase investments of $1.5 million.
These amounts were partially offset by maturities and sales of available-for-sale investments of $136.9 million, proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $1.5 million primarily related to the sale of our building in Kersewell, Scotland,
and proceeds from our investments of $0.7 million. Our capital expenditures in the first six months of 2007 primarily consisted of $28.6 million for our new corporate headquarters building, $14.7 million for computer software and hardware, $6.6
million for additional scientific equipment for our laboratory units and $5.9 million related to leasehold improvements at various sites. We expect our capital expenditures for the remainder of 2007 will be approximately $37 million to $42 million.
The majority of the remaining forecasted capital expenditures are related to the up-fit costs for facilities, information technology expenditures and additional laboratory equipment.

In the first six months of 2007, we used $61.6 million of cash in financing activities. We paid $74.8 million to retire our construction loan for our new
headquarters building, paid dividends of $7.1 million and made repayments of capital lease obligations of $0.3 million. These amounts were partially offset by proceeds of $17.7 million from stock option exercises and purchases under our employee
stock purchase plan, as well as $2.9 million in income tax benefits from the exercise of stock options and disqualifying dispositions of stock. In addition, we borrowed and subsequently repaid $25.0 million under our revolving credit facility in
connection with the construction of the new headquarters building.

Working capital as of June 30, 2007 was $516.8 million compared to $412.7 million at
December 31, 2006. The increase in working capital was due primarily to increases in short-term investments and accounts receivable and unbilled services and decreases in current maturities of debt, unearned income and other accrued expenses.
These increases were partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents.

The number of days revenue outstanding in accounts
receivable and unbilled services, net of unearned income, also known as DSO, increased to 46.1 days for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 44.0 days for the year ended December 31, 2006. We calculate DSO by dividing accounts
receivable and unbilled services less unearned income by average daily gross revenue for the applicable period. The increase in DSO is the result of, among other things, longer contractual payment terms, resulting in our accounts receivable aged
more than 60 days increasing from 8.6% of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2006 to 13.2% of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2007. We are closely monitoring the timely billing and collection of receivables in accordance with
our contractual payment terms, however DSO will continue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on future contract terms, the mix of contracts performed, and our success in collecting receivables.

We assess our investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for other-than-temporary impairments. At June 30, 2007, the cost basis of our investment in
Accentia exceeded its fair value by $3.7 million. The security has been in a loss position for less than four months. Each quarter we evaluate the market condition of the overall industry, historical and projected financial performance and market
values, the status of the companys development and commercialization efforts, expected cash needs, and recent funding events, as well as our expected holding period and the length of time and the extent to which the fair value of our
investment has been less than cost. Based on our assessment of the above factors, we did not consider the unrealized loss to be an other-than-temporary impairment at June 30, 2007.

Effective July 1, 2007, we renewed our $50.0 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N. A. Indebtedness under the facility is
unsecured and subject to covenants relating to financial ratios and restrictions on certain types of transactions. This revolving credit facility does not expressly restrict or limit the payment of dividends, and we do not expect any of the
covenants to affect our ability to pay dividends under our cash dividend policy for the foreseeable future. We were in compliance with all loan covenants as of June 30, 2007. Outstanding borrowings under

the facility bear interest at an annual fluctuating rate equal to the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus a margin of 0.6%. Borrowings
under this credit facility are available to provide working capital and for general corporate purposes. This credit facility is currently scheduled to expire in June 2008, at which time any outstanding balance will be due. As of June 30, 2007,
no borrowings were outstanding under this credit facility, although the aggregate amount available for borrowing had been reduced by $1.2 million due to outstanding letters of credit issued under this facility.

In February 2006, we entered into an $80.0 million construction loan facility with Bank of America, N.A. This construction loan facility was in addition
to the $50.0 million revolving credit facility discussed above. Indebtedness under the construction loan facility was unsecured and subject to the same covenants as the revolving credit facility, as well as additional covenants commonly used in
construction loan agreements. Borrowings under this credit facility were used to finance the construction of our new corporate headquarters building and related parking facility in Wilmington, North Carolina, and bore interest at an annual
fluctuating rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 0.6%. This credit facility was scheduled to mature in February 2008, but during the six months ended June 30, 2007, we repaid all outstanding borrowings, totaling $74.8 million,
under this facility.

On October 3, 2005, our Board of Directors adopted a cash dividend policy. We paid the first quarterly cash
dividend under our dividend policy in the fourth quarter of 2005, and in each of the first three quarters of 2006, we paid a similar dividend of $0.025 per share. In October 2006, our Board of Directors amended the annual cash dividend policy to
increase the annual dividend rate by 20 percent, from $0.10 to $0.12 per share, payable quarterly at a rate of $0.03 per share. The new dividend rate was effective beginning in the fourth quarter of 2006. The cash dividend policy and the payment of
future quarterly cash dividends under that policy are not guaranteed and are subject to the discretion of and continuing determination by our Board of Directors that the policy remains in the best interests of our shareholders and in compliance with
applicable laws and agreements.

We have commitments to invest an aggregate additional $19.0 million in three venture capital funds. For
further details, see Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation
No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes  an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, or FIN 48, as of January 1, 2007. As of December 31, 2006, we had recorded a contingent tax liability of $9.1
million. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we reclassified $8.2 million of this liability to non-current liabilities and recognized an increase in this non-current liability of $22.8 million. This increase was accounted for as a $5.6
million decrease in retained earnings, a $15.9 million increase in deferred tax assets, and a $1.3 million increase in long-term assets as of January 1, 2007. We had gross unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $28.2 million as of
January 1, 2007. Of this total, $11.6 million, net of the federal benefit on state taxes, is the amount that, if recognized, would result in a reduction of our effective tax rate. We do not anticipate a significant change in total unrecognized
tax benefits or our effective tax rate due to the settlement of audits and the expiration of statute of limitations within the next 12 months.

Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with tax audits is to record such items as a component of provision for income taxes. In conjunction with the adoption of FIN 48, we recognized approximately $4.0 million for the
payment of interest and penalties at January 1, 2007. To the extent interest and penalties are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax
provision.

We analyzed filing positions in all of the significant federal, state and foreign jurisdictions where we are required to file
income tax returns, as well as open tax years in these jurisdictions. The only periods subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions where we do business are the 2003 through 2006 tax years. Various foreign income tax returns are under
examination by taxing authorities. We do not believe that the outcome of any examination will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

We have been involved in compound development and commercialization collaborations since 1997. We developed a risk-sharing research and development model to help pharmaceutical and biotechnology clients develop
compounds. Through collaboration arrangements based on this model, we assist our clients by sharing the risks and potential rewards associated with the development and commercialization of drugs at various stages of development. As of June 30,
2007, we had four such arrangements that involve the potential future receipt of one or more of the following: payments upon the achievement of development and regulatory milestones; royalty payments if the compound is approved for sale; sales-based
milestone payments; and a share of net sales up to a specified dollar limit. The compounds that are the subject of these collaborations are still in development and have not been approved for sale in any country.

Our collaboration with ALZA Corporation, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, for dapoxetine
requires us to pay a royalty to Eli Lilly & Company of 5% on annual net sales of the compound in excess of $800 million. ALZA received a not approvable letter from the FDA in October 2005, but has continued its global
development program and has said that it intends to file a marketing application for dapoxetine in Europe in late 2007 and is evaluating the possibility of a filing in Canada. As a result of the risks associated with drug development, including
obtaining regulatory approval to sell in any country, the receipt of any further milestone payments, royalties or other payments with respect to any of our drug development collaborations is uncertain.

In February 2007, we exercised an option to license from Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd. a statin compound that we intend to develop as a treatment for
dyslipidemia, a metabolic disorder often characterized by high cholesterol levels. The option was exercised pursuant to an agreement entered into effective as of December 15, 2006. Upon exercise of the option, we paid a one-time license fee of
$0.25 million. Under the agreement, we have an exclusive license to make, use, sell, import and sublicense the compound and any licensed product anywhere in the world for any human use. We are solely responsible, and will bear all costs and
expenses, for the development, manufacture, marketing and commercialization of the compound and licensed products. In addition to the one-time license fee, we are obligated to pay Ranbaxy milestone payments upon the occurrence of specified clinical
development events. If a licensed product is approved for sale, we must also pay Ranbaxy royalties based on sales of the product, as well as commercial milestone payments based on the achievement of specified worldwide sales targets. If all criteria
are met, the total amount of potential clinical and sales-based milestones would be $44.0 million. We filed the investigational new drug application, or IND, for the statin compound in late March 2007. We completed a single ascending dose,
first-in-human study for this statin in June 2007, and the compound was safe and well tolerated at all doses in this trial. We recently commenced a first-in-patient study and plan to proceed into a Phase II proof-of-concept study in the fourth
quarter of 2007. In addition, we initiated a drug-drug interaction study to determine if there is any interaction between our statin and gemfibrozil, a fibrate commonly used to lower triglycerides.

Under most of our agreements for Development services, we agree to indemnify and defend the sponsor against third party claims based on our negligence or
willful misconduct. Any successful claims could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

We expect to continue expanding our operations through internal growth, strategic acquisitions and investments. We expect to fund these activities and the payment of future cash dividends from existing cash, cash
flows from operations and, if necessary or appropriate, borrowings under our existing or future credit facilities. We believe that these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our operations and dividends for the foreseeable future. From
time to time, we evaluate potential acquisitions, investments and other growth opportunities that might require additional external financing, and we might seek funds from public or private issuances of equity or debt securities. While we believe we
have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations for the foreseeable future, our sources of liquidity and ability to pay dividends could be affected by our dependence on a small number of industries and clients; compliance with regulations; reliance
on key personnel; breach of contract, personal injury or other tort claims; international risks; environmental or intellectual property claims; or other factors described below under Potential Liability and Insurance, Potential
Volatility of Quarterly Operating Results and Stock Price and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. In addition, see Risk Factors, Contractual Obligations and Critical Accounting
Policies and Estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Contractual Obligations

As a result of the adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, we have a liability of unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $28.2 million. We
estimate that approximately $0.6 million will be paid in the next 12 months. We are unable to reasonably estimate the amount or timing of payments for the remainder of the liability. Other than the adoption of FIN 48, there have been no significant
changes to the Contractual Obligation table included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting pronouncements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We have discussed those estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, we
adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. FIN 48 requires significant judgment in determining what constitutes an individual tax position as well as assessing the outcome of each tax position. Changes in judgment as to recognition or measurement of
tax positions can materially affect the estimate of our effective tax rate and, consequently, our operating results. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments
and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. Other than the adoption of FIN 48, our critical accounting policies and the methodologies and assumptions we apply under them have not materially changed since the date of our 2006 Annual
Report on Form 10-K. For more detailed information on our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Income Taxes

Because we conduct operations on a global basis, our effective tax rate has and will continue to depend upon the geographic distribution of our pretax earnings among locations with varying tax rates. Our profits are
also impacted by changes in the tax rates of the various tax jurisdictions. In particular, as the geographic mix of our pretax earnings among various tax jurisdictions changes, our effective tax rate might vary from period to period.

##### Table of Contents

Inflation

Our long-term contracts, those in excess of one year, generally include an inflation or cost of living adjustment for the portion of the services to be performed beyond one year from the contract date. In the event that actual inflation
rates are greater than our contractual inflation rates or cost of living adjustments, inflation could have a material adverse effect on our operations or financial condition.

Potential Liability and Insurance

Drug development services involve the testing of potential drug
candidates on human volunteers pursuant to a study protocol. This testing exposes us to the risk of liability for personal injury or death to volunteers and patients resulting from, among other things, possible unforeseen adverse side effects or
improper administration of the study drug or use of the drug following regulatory approval. For example, we have been named as a defendant in a number of lawsuits relating to the antibiotic Ketek, as described in Part II, Item 1 
Legal Proceedings. We attempt to manage our risk of liability for personal injury or death to volunteers and patients from administration of study products through standard operating procedures, patient informed consent, contractual
indemnification provisions with clients and insurance. We monitor clinical trials in compliance with government regulations and guidelines. We have established global standard operating procedures intended to satisfy regulatory requirements in all
countries in which we have operations and to serve as a tool for controlling and enhancing the quality of drug development services. The contractual indemnifications generally do not protect us against all our own actions, such as gross negligence.
We currently maintain professional liability insurance coverage with limits we believe are adequate and appropriate.

Potential Volatility of Quarterly
Operating Results and Stock Price

Our quarterly and annual operating results have fluctuated in the past, and we expect that they will
continue to fluctuate in the future. Factors that could cause these fluctuations to occur include:



| |  |  | the timing and level of new business authorizations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to recruit and retain experienced personnel;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing of the initiation, progress or cancellation of significant projects;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing and amount of costs associated with R&D and compound partnering collaborations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing of our Discovery Sciences segment milestone payments or other revenue, if any;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to properly manage our growth;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | litigation costs;
| | - |  | -----------------



| |  |  | the timing of the opening of new offices;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing of other internal expansion costs;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | exchange rate fluctuations between periods;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our dependence on a small number of industries and clients;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the mix of products and services sold in a particular period;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pricing pressure in the market for our services;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | rapid technological change;
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | the timing and amount of start-up costs incurred in connection with the introduction of new products and services;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing and extent of new government regulations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | intellectual property risks;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | impairment of investments or intangible assets; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing and amount of costs associated with integrating acquisitions.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Delays and terminations of trials are often the result of actions taken by our clients or regulatory authorities, and are not typically controllable by
us. Because a large percentage of our operating costs are relatively fixed while revenue is subject to fluctuation, variations in the timing and progress of large contracts can materially affect our quarterly operating results. For these reasons, we
believe that comparisons of our quarterly financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.



Recent consolidations and other transactions involving competitors could increase the competition within our industry for clients, experienced personnel
and acquisition candidates. For example, in 2006, Covance acquired Radiant Research and



30

##### Table of Contents

Kendle acquired the Phase II-IV clinical business of Charles River Laboratories. These consolidations and other potential future transactions, such as the
recently announced acquisition of PRA International by Genstar Capital, a private equity firm, could increase competition in our industry.

Fluctuations in quarterly results, actual or anticipated changes in our dividend policy or other factors could affect the market price of our common stock. These factors include ones beyond our control, such as changes in revenue and
earnings estimates by analysts, market conditions in our industry, disclosures by product development partners and actions by regulatory authorities with respect to potential drug candidates, changes in pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical
device industries and the government sponsored clinical research sector and general economic conditions. Any effect on our common stock could be unrelated to our longer-term operating performance. For further details, see Risk Factors in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.



|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

We are exposed to foreign currency risk by virtue of our international operations. We derived approximately 32.1% and 34.9% of our net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively, from operations outside
the United States. We generally reinvest funds generated by each subsidiary in the country where they are earned. Our operations in the United Kingdom generated more than 37.6% of our net revenue from international operations during the three months
ended June 30, 2007. Accordingly, we are exposed to adverse movements in foreign currencies, predominately in the pound sterling.

The
vast majority of our contracts are entered into by our U.S. or U.K. subsidiaries. The contracts entered into by the U.S. subsidiaries are almost always denominated in U.S. dollars. Contracts entered into by our U.K. subsidiaries are generally
denominated in U.S. dollars, pounds sterling or euros, with the majority in U.S. dollars. Although an increase in exchange rates for the pound sterling or euro relative to the U.S. dollar would increase net revenue from contracts denominated in
these currencies, a negative impact on income from operations results from dollar-denominated contracts for services rendered in countries other than the United States. In these cases, revenue is not impacted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar, but
the costs associated with performing these contracts, which are paid in local currency, are negatively impacted when translated into U.S. dollars.

We also have currency risk resulting from the passage of time between the invoicing of clients under contracts and the collection of client payments against those invoices. If a contract is denominated in a currency other than the
subsidiarys local currency, we recognize a receivable at the time of invoicing for the local currency equivalent of the foreign currency invoice amount. Changes in exchange rates from the time the invoice is prepared until payment from the
client will result in our receiving either more or less in local currency than the local currency equivalent of the receivable. We recognize this difference as a foreign currency transaction gain or loss, as applicable, and report it in other
income, net. If the exchange rate on accounts receivable balances denominated in pounds sterling had increased by 10%, our foreign currency transaction loss would have increased by $2.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

Our strategy for managing foreign currency risk relies primarily on receiving payment in the same currency used to pay expenses. If the U.S. dollar had
weakened an additional 10% relative to the pound sterling, euro and Brazilian real in the second quarter of 2007, net income would have been approximately $2.1 million lower for the quarter based on revenues and costs related to our foreign
operations. From time to time, we also enter into foreign currency hedging activities in an effort to manage our potential foreign exchange exposure. At June 30, 2007, no such hedging contracts were outstanding. In July 2007, we entered into a
foreign exchange forward contract in order to hedge a portion of our foreign currency exposure. The face amount of this foreign exchange contract was $36.0 million.

Changes in exchange rates between the applicable foreign currency and the U.S. dollar will affect the translation of foreign subsidiaries financial results into U.S. dollars for purposes of reporting our
consolidated financial results. The process by which we translate each foreign subsidiarys financial results to U.S. dollars is as follows:



| |  |  | we translate income statement accounts at average exchange rates for the period;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we translate balance sheet assets and liability accounts at end of period exchange rates; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we translate equity accounts at historical exchange rates.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------

Translation of the balance sheet in this manner affects shareholders equity through the cumulative translation adjustment account. This account exists only in the foreign subsidiarys U.S. dollar balance
sheet and is necessary to keep the foreign balance sheet, stated in U.S. dollars, in balance. We report translation adjustments with accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of shareholders equity. To date,
cumulative translation adjustments have not been material to our consolidated financial position. However, future translation adjustments could materially and adversely affect us.

Currently, there are no material exchange controls on the payment of dividends or otherwise prohibiting
the transfer of funds out of or from within any country in which we conduct operations. Although we perform services for clients located in a number of foreign jurisdictions, we have not experienced any difficulties in receiving funds remitted from
foreign countries. However, new or modified exchange control restrictions could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

We are
exposed to changes in interest rates on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and amounts outstanding under notes payable and lines of credit. We invest our cash and cash equivalents in financial instruments with interest rates based
on financial market conditions. We do not expect that a 10% change in interest rates in the future would have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) are designed only to provide reasonable assurance that
information to be disclosed in our Exchange Act Reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer (who is currently our principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period
covered by this report to provide the reasonable assurance discussed above.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2007 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

a co-defendant in lawsuits alleging injuries to patients who took Sanofi-Aventis FDA-approved antibiotic Ketek, for which we provided certain clinical trial services. These lawsuits include: Campbell v. Sanofi-Aventis, et al. filed in
the Circuit Court of Etowah County, Alabama; Gregg and Gregg v. Sanofi-Aventis, et al., Manley and Manley v. Sanofi-Aventis, et al., Bennett v. Sanofi-Aventis et al., Henry v. Sanofi-Aventis et al., and Hamm v.
Sanofi-Aventis, et al., each filed in Superior Court of New Jersey, Middlesex County; and Carpenter v. Sanofi-Aventis, et al. filed in the Superior Court in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. More similar suits are possible. These suits
claim unspecified damages and allege multiple causes of action, including negligence, misrepresentation, breach of warranty, conspiracy, wrongful death in at least two cases and violations of various state and federal statutes, including unfair and
deceptive trade practices acts. While there can be no assurance of a successful outcome and litigation costs can be material, we do not believe that they have merit and intend to vigorously defend ourself in these matters.
