Acquisition of Panima Pharmaceuticals AG
 
On December 17, 2010, we acquired 100% of the stock of Panima Pharmaceuticals AG (Panima), an affiliate of Neurimmune AG. The purchase price was comprised of a $32.5 million cash payment plus up to $395.0 million in contingent consideration payable upon the achievement of development milestones. Panima is a business involved in the discovery of antibodies designed to treat neurological disorders.
 
Upon acquisition, we recorded a liability of $81.2 million representing the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration. Subsequent changes in the fair value of this obligation are recognized as adjustments to contingent consideration within our consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of the total contingent consideration obligation within our condensed consolidated balance sheet was $84.6 million, of which $4.9 million was reflected as a component of accrued expenses and other, and $79.7 million was reflected as a component of other long-term liabilities. We recorded contingent consideration expense of $2.2 million and $3.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, reflecting the change in the fair value of this obligation. For additional information related to this transaction, please read Note 2, Acquisitions to our consolidated financial statements included within our 2010 Form 10-K.
 
Acquisition of Biogen Idec Hemophilia Inc.
 
In connection with our acquisition of Biogen Idec Hemophilia Inc. (BIH), formerly Syntonix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Syntonix), in January 2007, we agreed to make additional milestone payments associated with the development of long-lasting recombinant Factor IX, a product for the treatment of hemophilia B. In January 2010, we initiated patient enrollment in a registrational trial of Factor IX, which triggered an approximately $40.0 million milestone payment to the former shareholders of Syntonix. We recorded this payment as a charge to acquired in-process research and development within our condensed consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2010, in accordance with the accounting standards applicable to business combinations when we acquired BIH.
