3TC

Royalties from sales of 3TC for the year to December 31, 2007 were US$145.3 million, a decrease of 4% compared to the same period in 2006 (2006: US$150.9 million). Excluding favourable foreign exchange movements of 4%, there has been a decline of 8% compared to the same period in 2006.

Shire receives royalties from GSK on worldwide 3TC sales. GSK's worldwide sales of 3TC for the year to December 31, 2007 were US$1,110 million, a decrease of 2% compared to the same period in 2006 (2006: US$1,138 million), but a decrease of approximately 7% on a constant exchange rate basis. While the nucleoside analogue market for HIV has continued to grow, competitive pressures such as new entrants to the market and products in competing markets have increased leading to a decline in 3TC sales.

In 2007 generic drug companies filed Abbreviated New Drug Applications ("ANDA") seeking approval for Epivir, Combivir, Zeffix and Epzicom in the US. Pursuant to the GSK/Shire license for lamivudine products, GSK has the right to enforce the licensed patents. In November 2007 GSK filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Teva Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Teva") in the US District Court for the District of Delaware for infringement of one of the patents relating to Combivir. The patent, which covers the combination of AZT and lamivudine to treat HIV, expires in May 2012. Teva had filed an ANDA with the FDA with a certification of invalidity, unenforceability and non-infringement of that combination patent.
