Rob, you suggested:

>>Hospital drugs should be part of asset divestiture and excluded from product revenue>>

If that is indeed the fact the situation is not as bleak as it might look.

But, while there is a reference in the press release to a loss of revenue due to the asset disposal program, I doubt that it refers to the hospital products. The hospital products represent such a large part of the turnover (60 mUSD in Q2) that if they were not included in the reported figures Elan would and should have pointed that out. (It is much better to have 40 mUSD of unspecified revenue losses than 100 mUSD).

However, their estimate probably includes hospital drugs.
