Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $93.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared to $63.5 million for the same period in 2006.

Research and development expenses increased to $71.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared to $50.4 million for the same period in 2006. The increase reflects expenses associated with the Company’s obesity programs, including a development milestone associated with leptin, and increased development expenses for exenatide long-acting release (LAR).
