Get ready for another large impairment cost this q. Most of Elans investments are way down from June 30. Example Ligand 14+ to 6.56 today times 14 million shares. Approx >100 million on ligand investment alone. RZM, ISIS, INCR, AMRN, DOVP etc are also down considerable.

These impairment charges are no small matter as they reduce Elans equity. There are convenants on QSPE debt in which Elan has to maintain a certain equity, otherwise Elan will be forced to ante up to QSPE note holders.
