<<The company consumed $120 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2003.>>

Geez with that sort of largesse they are depending on squeezing every drop of profit out of Velcade (and Integrilin).

Always a highly risky proposition for new drugs.

S&P's hesitant and conservative approach appears to be completely appropriate, if not somewhat of a cautionary flag, in the wake of all the recent hype.
