(1) Pro Forma Adjusted amounts exclude (a) the amortization expense on
acquired intangible assets related to the acquisitions of
PathoGenesis, Chiron Behring, Pulmopharm and PowderJect
Pharmaceuticals.

acquired intangible assets related to the acquisitions of
PathoGenesis, Chiron Behring, Pulmopharm and PowderJect
Pharmaceuticals and (b) purchased in-process research and development

PowderJect Pharmaceuticals acquisition, upon completion of strategic
assessments of the value of certain research and development projects.
The adjustment reduced purchased in-process research and development
by $77.4 million.

(3) Pro Forma Adjusted amounts exclude (a) the amortization expense on
acquired intangible assets related to the acquisitions of
PathoGenesis, Chiron Behring, Pulmopharm and PowderJect
Pharmaceuticals and (b) the purchased in-process research and

settlements in connection with the McCormick patents owned by
Schering's U.S. subsidiary, Berlex Laboratories, (b) purchased

Pharmaceuticals acquisition and (c) the amortization expense on
acquired intangible assets related to the acquisitions of
PathoGenesis, Chiron Behring, Pulmopharm and PowderJect

not sum fully to yearly earnings per share amounts.
