•Other. Our Other segment is comprised of sunset products and products nearing the end of their life cycle.
It also includes general and administrative expenses; amortization of acquired product rights, other
intangible assets, and other assets; charges, such as acquired in-process research and development, patent
settlement, stock-based compensation, and restructuring; and certain indirect costs that are not charged to
the other operating segments.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant
accounting policies, with the exception of the amortization of acquired product rights, which is included entirely in
our Other segment. There are no intersegment sales. Our chief operating decision maker evaluates performance
based on direct profit or loss from operations before income taxes not including nonrecurring gains and losses,
foreign exchange gains and losses, and miscellaneous other income and expenses. Except for goodwill, as disclosed
in Note 4, the majority of our assets are not discretely identified by segment. The depreciation and amortization of
our property, equipment, and leasehold improvements are allocated based on headcount, unless specifically
identified by segment.

accurate recast of Operating income (loss) among the segments established in the June 2006 quarter as a result
of an inconsistent allocation methodology used in fiscal 2006 as compared to fiscal 2007.
