Did SEPR offer burn rates projections beyond 2000? Building a sales force(s) and launching 10 drugs is a very expensive proposition. It's a long way from selling Xopenex to selling their portfolio. As a point of reference, Schering spends around $300 million / year in support of Claritin. SEPR will have to spend big to get adequate share of voice.

If SEPR goes for it, might expect them to buy a sales + marketing organization similar to Elan - Dura and Celltech - Medeva.

my two cents
