On the PW conference call, it was clear that AGPH expected excellent European sales of Viracept (as I reported in my previous post, Roche is ramping up for a major run). Other points made by Johnson, there has been no scientific brain drain at AGPH. And, he stated his belief that it is absurd to see Viracept as a flash in the pan. It'll be around, he said, "for decades." As for sales to Africa/Asia, all the estimates for AGPH earnings assume no sales to areas that cannot afford the drug.

<<In fact, it seems like AGPH will not have another product on the market until 2001.
That is, there is an excellent potential pipeline coming but no additional revenues,
besides Viracept, for several years.>>

This is my understanding too.
