Future year expected emission trends through 2010 for SO2 are shown in table 5-4 and figure 5-4. Total emissions are predicted to continue to decline through 2010. Sulfur dioxide emissions are dominated by electric utility and industrial fuel combustion. Electric utility fuel combustion emissions show an expected continued decline through 2010, with slight increases in the years 2002 through 2005, due to the lower emission cap in 2010. These projections assume that utilities bank a certain portion of their phase I allowances and use these banked allowances from 2000 to 2010. Future year expected emission trends from industrial sources can be discerned from table 5-4 by combining the emissions from fuel combustion-industrial, chemical and allied products manufacturing, metals processing, petroleum and related industries, other industrial processes, solvent utilization, storage and transport, and waste disposal and recycling. When future emissions from these sources are examined, they show a slight expected decrease from 1990 to 1993, remain essentially flat through 1999, and then show an increasing trend except for 2008 ; through 2010. The decrease in 2008 is predominantly due to increases in fuel efficiency in the industrial fuel combustion category. The emissions projections show that total national industrial SO2 emissions remain below the 5.60 million short ton per year cap established by section 406 of the CAAA for all projection years evaluated and diphenhydramine. 14.

ACTIVITIES Meda's business concept is to offer cost-effective, medically relevant products. Meda is a pharma company that underwent a total transformation in recent years. Originally an agency operation, Meda has developed into one of Europe's leading specialty pharma companies. About six years ago, the company's new CEO established the objective of basing Meda's future on its own products and long-term relationships. This would be realised by acquisition of product rights and increased effort to establish business partnerships that would last for many years. The greatest growth potential and profitability was to be found in the Pharma business area BA ; , which is the prioritised BA. Meda specialises in marketing and market-oriented product development. It has an extensive sales and marketing organisation. Like other specialty pharma companies, Meda avoids risky, capital-intensive early research stages; instead it creates its product flow through partnerships, in-licensing, and product acquisition. In August 2005, Meda announced its acquisition of Viatris, a German pharma company. This deal made Meda into one of the chief specialty pharma companies in Europe. The combined company's pan-European coverage in sales and marketing, and its capacity for product development and registration, makes it a very attractive in-licensing partner. In 2005, Meda's organisation experienced extensive changes. Through acquisition of Viatris, Meda is now represented on all major European markets through wholly owned subsidiaries, and the number of employees increased significantly. On 31 December 2005, Meda had a staff of 1, 783 781 men and 1, 002 women ; . The Group's head office is still in Solna, outside of Stockholm. Integration of Viatris went very quickly. Key positions are filled, and the company's new organisational structure is in place. Meda now has its own sales organisations in more than 20 European countries, and almost 900 persons working with marketing and sales. In addition, Meda recently decided to establish its own organisation in Hungary. The remaining European markets are cultivated through agents and distributors. Meda thus holds a good position on all key European markets. The new Meda is one of Europe's top specialty pharma companies. Its ambition is to gain an even stronger position by acquiring additional products and increasing in-licensing efforts. Marketing of important products and market-oriented product development will also be prioritised. Growth should continue with profitability and controlled risk. SALES Group sales in 2005 were SEK 2, 870 million 793 ; . Viatris, which was acquired in 2005, contributed sales of SEK 1, 432 million from August to December. Sales, excluding Viatris' products, reached SEK 1, 438 million an 82% increase. The total currency translation effect on sales was marginal. As mentioned above, sales, excluding Viatris products, totalled SEK 1, 438 million 793 ; . In the Pharma BA, the cardiovascular products Cibacen, Cibadrex, and Cyklokapron coagulant ; , acquired in 2005, accounted for SEK 523 million of the sales increase. Among other medications, the high-growth figure is largely due to Relifex for osteoarthrosis ; , Lederspan for osteoarthrosis and arthritis ; , and Zanidip for high blood pressure ; . Sales in the Medical Device BA continued to grow in 2005, with a 14% increase to SEK 122 million 107 ; . Sales from the Viatris portfolio totalled SEK 1, 432 million for the August to December period. Viatris has significant sales of products in the allergy and asthma therapy area TA these sales depend on the season. Sales of Novolizer products increased 96% to about SEK 240 million for all of 2005, after launch of Novolizer budesonide 200 mg in several European countries, and of Novolizer formoterol on the German market. Within a short time, these products gained market shares of about 20% on many key European markets. Other products, such as Betadine and Tramadol, continued to grow. While sales of Azelastine and Allergospasmin allergy products ; declined due to the low-demand allergy season in 2005. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE In 2005, the Group's operating income, excluding restructuring costs, quadrupled to SEK 525.3 million 132.9 ; , which facilitated an 18.3% operating margin 16.8 ; . Shortly after the Viatris acquisition, the new Group management prepared a restructuring plan to quickly rationalise and consolidate the new company structure to take advantage of synergies. By Q4, major parts of the plan had already been implemented, as reflected by non-recurring restructuring costs that affect profit. These costs totalled SEK 176.3 million. The administrative costs constituted the largest expense in the restructuring plan, accounting for almost half of total restructuring costs of SEK 85.2 million. These costs arose mainly from rationalisation and phase-out of administrative functions at the former headquarters of Viatris in Germany. Non-recurring costs for elimination of overlapping resources on certain markets and the rest of the administration of the sales organisation totalled SEK 45.7 million. Costs for rationalising the development operation in Germany totalled SEK 28.4 million. Restructuring costs in production were SEK 17.0 million. If restructuring costs are included, the operating income for the same period totalled SEK 349.0 million 132.9 ; . Operating costs for the entire year were SEK 1, 326.7 million 259.8 ; . Of these, amortisation of intangible assets accounted for SEK 198.6 million, and restructuring costs accounted for SEK 176.3 million.

In connection with the collaboration we purchased 1, 077, 029 shares of ACADIA common stock for an aggregate purchase price of , 000, 000 based on a per share price of approximately .2848, which represents a 40 percent premium to the average closing price for the 30 trading days prior to the signing of the agreement, subject to customary closing conditions. We recorded the premium amount of , 857, 000 as research and development expense and the remaining amount of , 143, 000 as an investment in ACADIA, which we have classified as an available-for-sale security and will adjust to its fair value at each reporting date with unrealized gains and losses recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income loss ; . We also agreed to purchase up to an additional , 000, 000 of ACADIA common stock at a 25 percent premium to the trailing 30-day average closing price per share as of the one-year anniversary of the signing of the agreement, subject to customary closing conditions. During the three-year research term of the collaboration agreement, we will provide ACADIA with , 000, 000 of research funding each year, which will be recorded as research and development expense. In addition, we have agreed to make milestone payments to ACADIA upon the achievement by ACADIA of specified development and regulatory milestones for each product developed under the collaboration, including any product to be used in combination with LUNESTA that is developed under the collaboration. We have also agreed to pay royalties to ACADIA on net worldwide sales on products developed under the collaboration. During the fourth and second quarters of 2004, pursuant to the call spread option agreements we entered into in December 2003, we settled 9, 838, 992 call spread options for cash, which resulted in payments to us in the amount of 4, 333, 000. The first series of settled options expired at various dates which began on May 12, 2004 and ended on June 9, 2004 and the second series of options expired at various dates which began on November 11, 2004 and ended on December 9, 2004. We recorded the full amount of the call spread option settlement as an increase to additional paid-in capital. Our remaining outstanding call spread options expire at various dates through 2005 and we have the option to settle the remaining outstanding call spread options in either net shares or in cash. The next series of call spread options expire in May and June 2005 and are valued at 3, 798, 000, based on the closing price of our common stock on March 1, 2005, which was .98. We currently expect to settle these call spread options for cash, although the amount we receive upon settlement, if any, will vary based on the price of our common stock on the option expiration dates. Any cash received in settlement of the remaining call spread options will be recorded as additional paid-in capital. In November 2004, we purchased, in a private placement, 4, 000 shares of BioSphere Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 200, 000 shares of BioSphere Medical, Inc., or BioSphere, common stock from BioSphere for an aggregate purchase price of , 000, 000. On October 22, 2004, we commenced notifying drug wholesalers, hospitals and pharmacies of a manufacturer-initiated voluntary Class III recall of one component of our XOPENEX product line, XOPENEX Inhalation Solution Concentrate 1.25mg 0.5ml ; , which we had introduced in August 2004. The recall, which affects only XOPENEX Concentrate and no other components of our XOPENEX product line, was necessitated by packaging process validation issues relating to the automated process of placing the finished vials into a foil pouch. We have suspended manufacture and sale of XOPENEX Concentrate until the issues giving rise to the recall have been fully addressed. We do not expect to re-introduce XOPENEX Concentrate before the fourth quarter of 2005. On October 1, 2004, we terminated our co-promotion agreement with MedPointe, Inc., or MedPointe, for the co-promotion of ASTELIN brand azelastine HCl for the treatment of allergic rhinitis. Such termination was not for cause and was undertaken in accordance with the terms of the agreement, which had been amended as of April 30, 2004. Pursuant to the terms of the amended agreement, as of July 1, 2004, our sales force was only responsible for providing ASTELIN samples to doctors and, as of October 1, 2004, both parties had the right to unilaterally terminate the agreement without cause. In connection with our termination of the amendment, we were entitled to receive a payment from MedPointe of , 950, 000, less any amount earned for sample coverage services provided for ASTELIN prior to the October 1, 2004 termination of the agreement. Since we had earned and received payment of , 950, 000 by providing sample coverage services for ASTELIN, we did not receive a payment upon termination of the agreement. The amount earned for providing sample services has been recognized as other revenue. On September 22, 2004, we issued 0, 000, 000 in principal amount of 0% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2024, or 0% notes due 2024. In connection with the sale of these notes, we incurred offering costs of approximately , 190, 000. The net proceeds to us after offering costs were approximately 5, 810, 000. We used 0, 321, 000 of the proceeds from the issuance of these notes to purchase 1, 933, 200 shares of our common stock, which we recorded as treasury stock. During September 2004, certain holders of our 0% Series A convertible senior subordinated notes due 2008, or 0% Series A notes due 2008, and 0% Series B convertible senior subordinated notes due 2010, or 0% Series B notes due 2010, agreed, in separately negotiated transactions, to convert 7, 200, 000 and 1, 980, 000 in aggregate principal amount of their 0% Series A notes due 2008 and 0% Series B notes due 2010, respectively, into an aggregate of 5, 556, 104 and 11, 797, 483 shares of our common stock, respectively. As an inducement to convert their notes, we paid the holders of the 0% Series A notes due 2008 and 0% Series B notes due 2010 aggregate cash payments of , 868, 000 and , 900, 000, respectively. On July 13, 2004, we announced a conditional amendment to our agreement with Aventis relating to eszopiclone. The amendment became effective upon the completion of the business combination between Aventis and Sanofi-Synthelabo, now sanofi-aventis. Under the amended agreement, we have the.
