3TC - HIV infection and AIDS

Shire receives royalties from GSK on worldwide 3TC sales. Royalties from sales of 3TC for the three months to September 30, 2008 were $35.9 million, (2007: $36.7 million). Excluding unfavorable foreign exchange movements of 6%, there has been growth of 4% compared to the same period in 2007. The growth of 4% (excluding foreign exchange movements) primarily relates to the phasing of royalty income over Q2 and Q3 2008 and is not representative of trends in the overall 3TC market. While the nucleoside analogue market for HIV has continued to grow, competitive pressures from new products and entrants to the market have increased and are expected to lead to an overall decline in 3TC sales.
