Reserves for Discounts and Allowances
As a result of our acquisition of all remaining rights to TYSABRI from Elan, we began recognizing reserves for discounts and allowances for U.S. TYSABRI revenue in the second quarter of 2013. In addition, following our recently launched products, we began recognizing reserves for discounts and allowances related to these products' revenue.
An analysis of the change in reserves is summarized as follows:
