With "only" positiv Cash Flow from Operations(1,382 MUSD in Q2) and (1,218 MUSD in Q1) to issuce 3-4 cheques of 500 MUSD per quarter is significant. Note that Allergan also take over the people of the such transations = fix costs without any revenues (or little revenues).
Perhaps we (special me) focus us to much on Allergan. Of course Allergan has now a lot of money to spent but i still hope our partner for 1067 is Shiseido or L'Oreal (second choice AmorePacific or a Chinese cosmetic company)
unless e.g. Allergan or a Chinese compnay buys the whole company.
