| |  | Commercial Rights and Royalties Revenues. Commercial
    rights and royalties revenues, which include product revenues,
    royalties and commissions, for the third quarter of 2005 were
    $31.1 million, an increase of $23.4 million as
    compared to the third quarter 2004 commercial rights and
    royalties revenues of $7.7 million. Commercial rights and
    royalties revenues were positively impacted by approximately
    $112,000 due to the effect of foreign currency fluctuations
    primarily related to the weakening of the United States dollar
    relative to the South African rand. Commercial rights and
    royalties revenues were reduced by approximately
    $5.6 million for the third quarter of 2005 for the
    amortization of the payments we made to our customers versus
    $10.3 million for the third quarter of 2004. These payments
    are considered incentives and are amortized against revenues
    over the service period of the contract. The increase in
    commercial rights and royalties revenues is due to (1) our
    contract for Cymbalta®, which contributed
    $14.1 million of revenues in the third quarter of 2005
    versus $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2004;
    (2) our February 2004 contract with a large pharmaceutical
    customer which contributed $3.2 million of revenues in the
    third quarter of 2005 compared to no revenues in the third
    quarter of 2004; (3) our contracts with Columbia Labs,
    Inc., or Columbia, which contributed $269,000 of revenues in the
    third quarter of 2005 but decreased revenues by approximately
    $5.9 million in the third quarter of 2004 due to an
    impairment of the payments made to Columbia of approximately
    $7.8 million due to a decline in fair value of the related
    commercial rights and royalties asset which we deemed to be
    other-than-temporary; (4) our contract with
    Cell Therapeutics, Inc., or Cell Therapeutics, which
    contributed $1.0 million of revenues in the third quarter
    of 2005 compared to no revenues in the third quarter of 2004;
    and (5) an increase of approximately $1.5 million in
    the revenues from miscellaneous contracts and activities.
    Commercial rights and royalties revenues for the third quarter
    of 2005 were attributable to the following:
    (1) approximately 45.5% to our Cymbalta® contract, (2)
    approximately 25.1% to our contracts with two large
    pharmaceutical customers in Europe, (3) approximately 10.4% to
    our February 2004 contract with a large pharmaceutical customer,
    (4) approximately 14.9% related to miscellaneous contracts
    and activities, (5) approximately 3.2% related to our
    contract with Cell Therapeutics and (6) approximately 0.9%
    to our contracts with Columbia.

| |  | Investment Revenues. Investment revenues related to our
    PharmaBio Development Groups financing arrangements, which
    include gains and losses from the sale of equity securities and
    impairments from other-than-temporary declines in the fair
    values of our direct and indirect investments, for the third
    quarter of 2005 were $890,000 versus a loss of $2.5 million
    for the third quarter of 2004. Investment revenues for the third
    quarter of 2005 included $891,000 of net gains on marketable
    securities versus net losses of $2.2 million for the third
    quarter of 2004. In addition, during the third

| |  | Reimbursed Service Costs. Reimbursed service costs were
    $141.1 million and $91.6 million for the third quarter
    of 2005 and 2004, respectively.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|
| |  | Service Costs. Service costs, which include compensation
    and benefits for billable employees, and certain other expenses
    directly related to service contracts, were $252.1 million
    or 54.5% of net service revenues  combined for the
    third quarter of 2005 versus $225.0 million or 53.8% of net
    service revenues  combined for the third quarter of
    2004. Compensation and related expenses increased approximately
    $14.9 million primarily as a result of salary and wage
    increases including an increase in our number of billable
    employees. Other expenses directly related to our service
    contracts increased approximately $12.3 million.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
|
| |  | Commercial Rights and Royalties Costs. Commercial rights
    and royalties costs, which include compensation and related
    benefits for employees, amortization of commercial rights,
    infrastructure costs of the PharmaBio Development Group and
    other expenses directly related to commercial rights and
    royalties, were $45.4 million for the third quarter of 2005
    versus $40.3 million for the third quarter of 2004. The
    increase in commercial rights and royalties costs is primarily
    due to (1) an increase of approximately $1.9 million
    in costs to $19.3 million in the third quarter of 2005
    related to our Cymbalta® contract, (2) an increase of
    approximately $1.6 million in costs to $8.7 million in
    the third quarter of 2005 related to our February 2004 contract
    with a large pharmaceutical customer, and (3) costs of
    approximately $1.3 million incurred during the third
    quarter of 2005 related to our co-promotion agreement with
    Yamanouchi Pharma Limited, or Yamanouchi.
|
| |  | Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and
    amortization, which include depreciation of our property and
    equipment and amortization of our definite-lived intangible
    assets except commercial rights, decreased to $27.2 million
    for the third quarter of 2005 versus $27.8 million for the
    third quarter of 2004. Amortization expense decreased
    approximately $653,000 as a result of a decrease in the
    unamortized balance of intangible assets which are being
    amortized over their finite lives. We have approximately
    $109.7 million of intangible assets which have an
    indefinite life and therefore are not being amortized.
    Depreciation expense was basically flat quarter over quarter.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
|
| |  | Eliminations  Intersegment Costs. Eliminations
    represent the services provided by our service segments,
    primarily commercial services, to our PharmaBio Development
    Group under risk-based arrangements in which we provide services
    to customers in exchange for royalties. Eliminations decreased
    to $24.3 million for the third quarter of 2005 versus
    $26.7 million for the third quarter of 2004 primarily as a
    result of a decrease in the incremental services provided under
    our February 2004 contract with a large pharmaceutical customer.

| |  | Commercial Rights and Royalties Revenues. Commercial
    rights and royalties revenues for the first nine months of 2005
    were $95.8 million, an increase of $57.4 million as
    compared to the first nine months of 2004 commercial rights and
    royalties revenues of $38.4 million. Commercial rights and
    royalties revenues were positively impacted by approximately
    $1.3 million due to the effect of foreign currency
    fluctuations related to the weakening of the United States
    dollar relative to the euro. Commercial rights and royalties
    revenues were reduced by approximately $16.5 million for
    the first nine months of 2005 for the amortization of the
    payments we made to our customers versus $14.6 million for
    the first nine months of 2004. These payments are considered
    incentives and are amortized against revenues over the service
    period of the contract. The increase in commercial rights and
    royalties revenues is due to (1) our contract for
    Cymbalta®, which contributed $36.9 million of revenues
    in the first nine months of 2005 compared to $2.4 million
    of revenues in the first nine months of 2004; (2) our
    February 2004 contract with a large pharmaceutical customer,
    which contributed $14.7 million of revenues in the first
    nine months of 2005 compared to no revenues in the first nine
    months of 2004; (3) a slight increase in the revenues under
    our contracts in Europe with two large pharmaceutical customers
    to $28.6 million in the first nine months of 2005 as
    compared to $28.4 million in the first nine months of 2004;
    (4) our contract with Cell Therapeutics, which contributed
    $3.2 million in the first nine months of 2005 compared to
    no revenues in the first nine months of 2004; (5) our contracts
    with Columbia, which contributed $1.1 million of revenues
    in the first nine months of 2005 but decreased revenues by
    approximately $1.2 million in the first nine months of 2004
    due to an impairment of the payments made to Columbia of
    approximately $10.7 million due to a decline in fair value
    of the related commercial rights and royalties asset which we
    deemed to be other-than-temporary; and (6) an increase of
    approximately $2.4 million in the revenues from
    miscellaneous contracts and activities. Commercial rights and
    royalties revenues for the first nine months of 2005 were
    attributable to the following: (1) approximately 38.5% to
    our Cymbalta® contract, (2) approximately 29.9% to our
    contracts with two large pharmaceutical customers in Europe,
    (3) approximately 15.4% to our February 2004 contract with
    a large pharmaceutical customer, (4) approximately 11.6% related
    to miscellaneous contracts and activities,
    (5) approximately 3.4% related to our contract with Cell
    Therapeutics and (6) approximately 1.2% to our contracts
    with Columbia.

| |  | Investment Revenues. Investment revenues related to our
    PharmaBio Development Groups financing arrangements for
    the first nine months of 2005 were a loss of $2.0 million
    versus a loss of $6.3 million for the first nine months of
    2004. Investment revenues for the first nine months of 2005
    included net gains on marketable securities of $1.0 million
    versus $4.3 million for the first nine months of 2004. In
    addition, during the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, we
    recognized $3.1 million and $10.6 million,
    respectively, of impairment losses on investments whose decline
    in fair value was considered to be other than temporary.

| |  | Service Costs. Service costs were $763.6 million or
    54.7% of net service revenues  combined for the first
    nine months of 2005 versus $643.2 million or 54.7% of net
    service revenues  combined for the first nine months
    of 2004. Compensation and related expenses increased
    approximately $91.5 million primarily as a result of salary
    and wage increases, including an increase in our number of
    billable employees. Other expenses directly related to our
    service contracts increased approximately $28.9 million.
    Service costs were negatively impacted by approximately
    $12.0 million from the effect of foreign currency
    fluctuations.
|
| |  | Commercial Rights and Royalties Costs. Commercial rights
    and royalties costs were $143.4 million for the first nine
    months of 2005 versus $89.4 million for the first nine
    months of 2004. The increase in commercial rights and royalties
    costs is primarily due to (1) an increase of approximately
    $31.5 million in costs to $55.6 million in the first
    nine months of 2005 related to our Cymbalta® contract and
    (2) an increase of approximately $7.8 million in costs
    to $22.4 million in the first nine months of 2005 related
    to our February 2004 contract with a large pharmaceutical
    customer.                                             
|
| |  | Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and
    amortization decreased to $77.1 million for the first nine
    months of 2005 versus $83.5 million for the first nine
    months of 2004. Amortization expense decreased approximately
    $5.0 million as a result of a decrease in the unamortized
    balance of intangible assets which are being amortized over
    their finite lives. We have approximately $109.7 million of
    intangible assets which have an indefinite life and therefore
    are not being amortized. Depreciation expense decreased
    approximately $1.4 million.                                                                                        
|
| |  | Eliminations  Intersegment Costs. Eliminations
    increased to $76.0 million for the first nine months of
    2005 versus $41.6 million for the first nine months of 2004
    primarily as a result of the incremental services provided under
    our Cymbalta® contract and our February 2004 contract with
    a large pharmaceutical customer.
