Deliver Top- and Bottom-Line Financial Growth
The Company continues to improve top- and bottom-line financial
performance significantly, while continuing to invest in VELCADE and the
pipeline for future growth. The Company is on track to exceed its 2007 non-
GAAP net income and GAAP net loss financial guidance, as outlined during
