healthy volunteers and one in epilepsy patients, of JZP-4, a product
candidate for the treatment of partial epilepsy and bipolar disorder.

fourth quarter of 2007. Jazz Pharmaceuticals plans to initiate
Phase II clinical trial activities for JZP-4 by the end of 2007.

treatment of restless legs syndrome, was initiated in the third quarter
of 2007, and Jazz Pharmaceuticals expects top line results from that
study in the second quarter of 2008.

"Microbiologically Sound and Stable Solutions of Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate
Salt for the Treatment of Narcolepsy." This Xyrem patent is now listed
