     On time execution of operating plan delivers strong 2006 performance      

 SHIRE AGREES TO ACQUIRE NEW RIVER TO GAIN FULL CONTROL OF VYVANSE, ITS FUTURE 
                           FLAGSHIP PRODUCT FOR ADHD                           

     All cash transaction for $2.6 billion funded by $2.3 billion new debt     
                                facilities and                                 

                        $800 million equity financing.                         

Basingstoke, UK - February 20, 2007 - Shire plc (LSE: SHP, NASDAQ: SHPGY, TSX:
SHQ) announces results for the twelve months to December 31, 2006 - a year in
which significant milestones were met, providing long-term drivers for the
future growth of the Company. In addition, Shire announces in a separate press
release that it has agreed to acquire New River Pharmaceuticals Inc (New River)
for $2.6 billion in cash funded by $2.3billion new debt facilities and
approximately $800 million of equity financing, a move that will increase the
value of its leadership in the US Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder
(ADHD) market.

2006 Financial Highlights

  * Product sales up 16% to $1,536 million;
   
  * Total revenues up 12% to $1,797 million;
   
  * Cash and cash equivalents up $470 million;
   
  * Dividends up 15%.
   
Matthew Emmens, Chief Executive Officer, said:

"2006 was an exceptional year for Shire in which we increased our strong
leadership position in the US ADHD market and successfully executed all our
planned regulatory filings and new product launches. We delivered good
financial results, including a 12% rise in revenues and strong cash generation.

"This is an important and complementary acquisition that gives us full control
of VYVANSE, a novel drug. We are confident and expect that the final labeling
will provide patients and physicians with real benefits that differentiate this
compound from other ADHD products. It will enable us to drive the launch and
future development of VYVANSE and gain the full economic benefits of the drug.
Based on VYVANSE's expected profile, we believe it has the potential to be the
next generation stimulant product to ADDERALL XR®. This acquisition continues
our leadership position in the growing US ADHD market, improves our operating
margins, significantly enhances our earnings growth from late 2009 and delivers
on our overall global growth strategy. The combined debt and equity financing
announced today enables us to both acquire New River and retain the financial
flexibility to make further acquisitions that will continue to drive Shire's
growth."

Looking ahead, in 2007 we expect to see the positive impact of our strategic
plan put in place three years ago. We will benefit from the recent launches of
DAYTRANA™ and ELAPRASE™ and roll-out of FOSRENOL® in Europe and anticipate
three additional product launches during the first half of the year namely
LIALDA™ / MEZAVANT™, VYVANSE™ and DYNEPO®. This year should also see the
approval of SPD465 and SPD503 for ADHD. In addition, we have added nine new
products into our development pipeline, including three new HGT (Human Genetic
Therapies) products.

Shire continues to look at ways in which it can effectively apply its cash flow
to generate long-term shareholder value through strengthening its pipeline of
specialty products with long lifecycles and strong intellectual property."

Restatement of 2005 US GAAP Results

The Company today announces the restatement of its financial statements for the
year to December 31, 2005, in respect of the value ascribed to in-process
research and development (IPR&D), acquired as part of the Transkaryotic
Therapies, Inc. (TKT) acquisition and subsequently written off as required
under US GAAP in Q3, 2005. IPR&D represented those assets which, at the time of
the acquisition, had not been approved by the FDA or other regulatory
authorities, including I2S (now known as ELAPRASE) and GA-GCB.

The Company has determined that the value ascribed to IPR&D acquired as a
result of the TKT acquisition did not include the benefit of tax amortization
as required by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)
Practice Aid, Assets Acquired in a Business Combination to Be Used in Research
and Development Activities: A Focus on Software, Electronic Devices, and
Pharmaceutical Industries. The effect of this omission was to understate the
value of IPR&D expensed in the year to December 31, 2005 by $142 million, with
a corresponding overstatement of goodwill as at December 31, 2005.

However, as the additional IPR&D write-off in the year ended December 31, 2005
is a non-cash accounting item, it has no impact on the cash flows of the
Company for the year ended December 31, 2005. In addition, it has no impact on
the cash flows or earnings of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2006
or beyond.

The results for the year to December 31, 2005 have been restated to record the
value of IPR&D written off in Q3 2005 at $815 million (previously $673
million). As a result of this restatement the net loss as reported under US
GAAP for the year to December 31, 2005 has increased from $436.4 million to
$578.4 million, with the diluted loss per ordinary share as reported under US
GAAP for the year to December 31, 2005 increasing from 87.2 cents to 115.6
cents per ordinary share.

Non-GAAP income from continuing operations of $435.2 million, net income of
$314.0 million and diluted earnings per ordinary share of 62.6 cents (187.8
cents per ADS), for the year to December 31, 2005, are unaffected by this
restatement.

2007 Outlook

R&D pipeline and new product launches

Shire has a strong product pipeline to support the future growth of the
Company. In 2007 and H1 2008, the following launches are planned:

  * VYVANSE in the US;
   
  * ELAPRASE in Europe;
   
  * LIALDA in the US and MEZAVANT in Europe;
   
  * FOSRENOL in the UK, Spain and Italy;
   
  * DYNEPO in Europe; and
   
  * REPLAGAL in Japan by Shire's partner Dainippon Sumitomo Pharmaceuticals,
    Inc.
   
In addition, Shire is anticipating FDA decisions on:-

  * SPD503 for ADHD in the US; and
   
  * SPD465 for ADHD in the US.
   
Timings of approvals and launches are subject to the regulatory/governmental
approvals process.

Financial Outlook

This outlook excludes the impact of the New River acquisition.

Shire's business continues to perform strongly. We expect 2007 revenue growth
to be around 20% (assuming prescription growth in the ADHD market of 4-6%).

As in 2006, earnings for 2007 will continue to be impacted by the costs
associated with the continued development and launch of new products. We
anticipate that up to six new products will be launched during 2007 and H1 2008
in addition to the expected continued growth of DAYTRANA, ELAPRASE and FOSRENOL
in the US and ELAPRASE and FOSRENOL in Europe.

  * These launches will require additional advertising and promotional spend
    and in some cases additional sales representatives. Consequently, SG&A
    costs are expected to rise to between $930 - 960 million for 2007;
   
  * Phase 3(b) and Phase 4 studies to support new product launches and the
    continuation of Phase 3 trials on GA-GCB, the development of the Women's
    Health franchise, pre-clinical development of three HGT projects and two
    new Phase 1 projects and two further pre-clinical projects, are all
    expected to result in R&D spend in the range of $360 - 380 million;
   
  * The depreciation charge for the year is expected to increase by
    approximately 20% compared to 2006; and
   
  * The effective tax rate for 2007 is expected to be approximately 26%.
   
In 2007 Shire intends to commence reporting its non-GAAP earnings based on
adjusted EPS, which will exclude amortisation charges and the accounting impact
of SFAS123R for share based compensation. Consequently the financial outlook
for the full year stated above excludes amortisation charges, which are
expected to rise by 20% over 2006 and the accounting impact of SFAS123R
estimated at approximately $45m, which will be split for GAAP purposes between
cost of goods, R&D and SG&A in the approximate ratio of 10%, 20% and 70%,
respectively.

Dividend

In respect of the six months to December 31, 2006 the Board has resolved to pay
a second interim dividend of 5.2455 US cents per ordinary share (2005: 4.419 US
cents per share). Together with the first interim payment of 1.9346 US cents
per ordinary share (2005: 1.8246 US cents per share), this represents total
dividends for 2006 of 7.1801 US cents per share (2005: 6.2436 US cents per
share), an increase of 15% in US Dollar terms over 2005.

Dividend payments will be made in Pounds Sterling to Ordinary Shareholders, US
Dollars to ADS holders and Canadian Dollars to Exchangeable Shareholders. A
dividend of 2.6933 pence per ordinary share, 15.7365 US cents per ADS and an
amount in Canadian cents per Exchangeable Share, to be determined based on the
February 20, 2007 noon rate of the Bank of Canada, respectively will be paid.
The Board has resolved to pay the dividend on April, 5, 2007 to persons whose
names appear on the register of members of the Company (or to persons
registered as holders of Exchangeable Shares in Shire Acquisition Inc.) at the
close of business on March 16, 2007.

Shire intends to pursue a progressive dividend policy.

New Accounting Standard - SFAS 123R

Shire's primary basis of financial reporting is US GAAP. From January 1, 2006
Shire has applied SFAS 123R in accounting for share-based compensation. This
accounting standard applies a fair value methodology in quantifying the
accounting charge associated with share-based compensation.

The Company has adopted SFAS 123R according to the modified retrospective
method. As a result, comparatives, including accounting periods in 2005, have
been retrospectively adjusted.

Notes to editors

SHIRE PLC

Shire's strategic goal is to become the leading specialty pharmaceutical
company that focuses on meeting the needs of the specialist physician. Shire
focuses its business on ADHD, human genetic therapies (HGT), gastrointestinal
(GI) and renal diseases. The structure is sufficiently flexible to allow Shire
to target new therapeutic areas to the extent opportunities arise through
acquisitions. Shire believes that a carefully selected portfolio of products
with a strategically aligned and relatively small-scale sales force will
deliver strong results.

Shire's focused strategy is to develop and market products for specialty
physicians. Shire's in-licensing, merger and acquisition efforts are focused on
products in niche markets with strong intellectual property protection either
in the US or Europe.

However, these non GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, as
substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with
US GAAP.

OVERVIEW OF US GAAP FINANCIAL RESULTS

1. Introduction

Summary of 2006

Revenues from continuing operations for the year to December 31, 2006 increased
by 12% to $1,796.5 million (2005: $1,599.3 million).

Income from continuing operations (before income taxes and equity in earnings/
(losses) of equity method investees) for the year to December 31, 2006 was
$316.8 million (2005: loss of $491.7 million, as restated (see page 4)). The
difference is primarily due to the write-off in 2005 of in-process R&D of
$815.0 million following the TKT acquisition.

Cash inflow from operating activities for the year to December 31, 2006
increased by 38% to $531.9 million (2005: $384.3 million). The net increase
resulted mainly from favourable movements in working capital, in particular the
timing of sales within the final quarter of 2006 coupled with a reduction in
the net tax paid of $48.5 million.

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments at
December 31, 2006 totaled $1,156.7 million (December 31, 2005: $694.0 million).
The increase in cash and cash equivalents during the year of $470.4 million was
primarily due to positive cash flows from Shire's operations, the sale of
product rights to Duramed for $63.0 million and proceeds from loans repaid by
IDB of $70.6 million, offset by purchases of property, plant and equipment
($100.3 million) and a milestone payment to Noven Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Noven)
on DAYTRANA's approval ($50.0 million).

Summary of Q4 2006

Revenues from continuing operations for the three months to December 31, 2006
increased by 7% to $497.0 million (2005: $464.9 million) with ELAPRASE and
DAYTRANA contributing $34.5 million to Q4 2006 sales.

Income from continuing operations (before income taxes and equity in earnings/
(losses) of equity method investees) for the three months to December 31, 2006
was $90.3 million (2005: $101.0 million).

Cash inflow from operating activities for the three months to December 31, 2006
was $188.8 million (2005: $155.0 million). This increase primarily resulted
from favourable movements in working capital.

2. Product sales

For the year to December 31, 2006 product sales increased by 16% to $1,535.8
million (2005: $1,327.7 million) and represented 86% of total revenues (2005:
83%).

including pre-acquisition sales, of 24%. In 2005 total post-acquisition sales
were $41.3 million.

ADDERALL XR for the treatment of ADHD

ADDERALL XR is the leading brand in the US ADHD market with an average market
share of 26% in 2006 (2005: 25%). US ADHD market growth of 4% and the 1%
increase in average market share contributed to an 8% increase in US
prescriptions for ADDERALL XR for year to December 31, 2006 compared to the
same period in 2005.

Sales of ADDERALL XR for the year to December 31, 2006 were $863.6 million, an
increase of 18% compared to the same period in 2005 (2005: $730.8 million).
Product sales growth was significantly higher than prescription growth due
primarily to price increases in August 2005 and April 2006.

During October 2005 Shire filed a Citizen Petition with the FDA requesting that
the FDA require more rigorous bioequivalence testing or additional clinical
testing for generic or follow-on drug products that reference ADDERALL XR
before they can be approved. Shire received correspondence from the FDA in
April 2006 stating that, due to the complex issues raised requiring extensive
review and analysis by the FDA's officials, a decision cannot yet be reached by
the FDA. The FDA did not provide any guidance as to when that decision may be
reached.

On August 14, 2006 Shire and Barr announced that all pending litigation in
connection with Barr's Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) and its attempt
to market generic versions of Shire's ADDERALL XR had been settled. As part of
the settlement, Barr entered into consent judgments and agreed to permanent
injunctions confirming the validity and enforceability of Shire's US Patents
Nos. 6,322,819 (the "819 Patent"), 6,601,300 (the "300 Patent") and 6,913,768
(the "768 Patent"). Barr has also admitted that any generic product made under
its ANDA would infringe the 768 patent. Under the terms of the settlement,
Barr will not be permitted to market a generic version of ADDERALL XR in the US
until April 1, 2009, except in certain limited circumstances, such as the
launch of another party's generic version of ADDERALL XR. No payments to Barr
are involved in the settlement agreement.

In January 2006, Shire settled its ADDERALL XR patent infringement lawsuits
with Impax. Under the terms of the settlement, Impax will be permitted to
market generic versions of ADDERALL XR in the US no later than January 1, 2010
and will pay the Company a royalty from those sales. In certain situations,
such as the launch of another generic version of ADDERALL XR, Impax may be
permitted to enter the market as the Company's authorized generic. No payments
to Impax are involved in the settlement agreement.

Litigation proceedings concerning Shire's ADDERALL XR patents are ongoing. 
Further information can be found in our filings with the US Securities and
Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year to
December 31, 2005 and our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
period ended September 30, 2006. 

DAYTRANA for the treatment of ADHD

Following its launch in June 2006, DAYTRANA achieved a 2% share of the US ADHD
market by December 31, 2006. Sales for the year to December 31, 2006 were $25.1
million, a level of sales which triggered the first of three potential $25.0
million sales milestone payments to Noven. This milestone, which was paid on
February 14, 2007, has been capitalized as at December 31, 2006 and will be
amortized over 10 years. Net sales for 2006 were impacted by the redemption of
$14 million of coupons issued to support the product launch.

The addition of DAYTRANA, combined with growth in ADDERALL XR market share has
helped Shire grow its total share of the US ADHD market to 28% at December 31,
2006 compared to 26% (which included a 1% share relating to ADDERALL) at
December 31, 2005.

CARBATROL for the treatment of Epilepsy

US prescriptions for the year ending December 31, 2006 were down 9% compared to
the same period in 2005. This was primarily due to a 6% decline in the US
extended release carbamazepine prescription market. CARBATROL's US market share
remained at 42%.

Sales of CARBATROL for the year ending December 31, 2006 were $68.3 million, a
decrease of 5% compared to the same period in 2005 (2005: $72.1 million). The
fall in sales is due to the decrease in the extended release carbamezapine
market and a reduction of pipeline inventory in 2006 compared to stocking in
2005, offset by price increases in October 2005 and July 2006.

In July 2006 Impax deployed a sales force to begin promotion of CARBATROL under
a promotional services agreement for the US market signed in January 2006.

Patent litigation proceedings with Nostrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Corepharma
LLC relating to CARBATROL are ongoing. Further information about the ongoing
proceedings relating to the Company's CARBATROL patents can be found in our
filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2005 and our most recent
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006.

PENTASA for the treatment of Ulcerative Colitis

US prescriptions for the year ending December 31, 2006 were up 2% compared to
the same period in 2005 primarily due to a 4% increase in the US oral
mesalamine prescription market. PENTASA's US market share remained at 18%.

Sales of PENTASA for the year ending December 31, 2006 were $137.8 million, an
increase of 1% compared to the same period in 2005 (2005: $136.1 million).
Sales growth is marginally lower than prescription growth due to the lower
levels of pipeline stocking in 2006, partly offset by the impact of price
increases in January 2006 and November 2006.

REPLAGAL for the treatment of Fabry Disease

Sales for the year ending December 31, 2006 were $117.7 million, of which 88%
were in Europe and 12% in the rest of the world. Sales for REPLAGAL for the
year ending December 31, 2005 were $94.6 million, including pre-acquisition
sales of $53.3 million. This represents a like-for-like increase in sales of
24% which was due to greater European coverage by an increased number of sales
representatives and strong growth in the rest of the world market (excluding
the US).

ELAPRASE for the treatment of Hunter Syndrome

ELAPRASE was launched in the US in August 2006 and has had a strong start with
over 110 patients receiving treatment by the end of December 2006. In addition,
through the pre-approval process, over 100 patients were receiving treatment in
Europe by the end of the year. Sales reached $23.6 million by December 31,
2006.

XAGRID for the treatment of Thrombocythemia

Sales for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $53.3 million, an increase of
14% compared to the same period in 2005 (2005: $46.8 million). Expressed in
transaction currencies (XAGRID is primarily sold in Euros), sales increased by
13% due mainly to strong growth in France and Spain. In addition there was a
benefit of 1% from favorable exchange rate movements against the US dollar.

AGRYLIN sales in North America (US and Canada) were $7.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 2006 (2005: $46.0 million). This reduction was expected
following the approval of generic versions of AGRYLIN in the US market in April
2005.

FOSRENOL for the treatment of Hyperphosphatemia

US prescriptions for the year ending December 31, 2006 were up 34% compared to
2005 due to FOSRENOL increasing its average share of the total US phosphate
binding market to 9% (2005: 7%) and market growth of 9% over the same period.
FOSRENOL was launched in the US in January 2005.

US sales of FOSRENOL for the year ending December 31, 2006 were $40.2 million
(2005: $53.0 million). The decrease in net sales of 16% compared to
prescription growth of 34% is primarily due to destocking in 2006 compared to
significant stocking of higher strength formulations at the end of 2005.

An agreement with Abbott was signed in December 2006 for the co-promotion of
FOSRENOL in the US.  Abbott's US renal care sales team will co-promote FOSRENOL
with its own renal product ZEMPLAR. Shire's US sales force will also continue
to promote FOSRENOL.  This agreement began in Q1 2007, and will continue for a
term of five years.

European sales of FOSRENOL for the year ending December 31, 2006 were $4.6
million (2005: $0.5 million), giving total FOSRENOL sales worldwide of $44.8
million (2005: $53.5 million).

FOSRENOL has now been launched in Germany, France and a number of other
European countries. Launches will continue throughout 2007 in the EU including
the UK, Italy and Spain, subject to finalization of national licensing and
conclusion of pricing and reimbursement negotiations.

On October 18, 2006 Health Canada granted a marketing license application for
FOSRENOL. The Canadian launch is planned for Q2 2007.

3. Royalties

3TC

Royalties from sales of 3TC for the year to December 31, 2006 were $150.9
million, a decrease of 6% compared to the prior year (2005: $159.8 million).

Shire receives royalties from GSK on worldwide 3TC sales. GSK's worldwide sales
of 3TC for the year to December 31, 2006 were $1,138 million, a decrease of 6%
compared to prior year (2005: $1,211 million). The nucleoside analogue market
for HIV has continued to grow, however competitive pressures within the market
have increased, leading to a decline in 3TC sales.

ZEFFIX

Royalties from sales of ZEFFIX for the year to December 31, 2006 were $34.8
million, an increase of 14% compared to the prior year (2005: $30.5 million).

Shire receives royalties from GSK on worldwide ZEFFIX sales. GSK's worldwide
sales of ZEFFIX for the year to December 31, 2006 were $301 million, an
increase of 13% compared to prior year (2005: $266 million). This increase was
mainly due to strong growth in the Korean, Japanese and Chinese markets.

OTHER

Other royalties are primarily in respect of REMINYL and REMINYL ER (known as
RAZADYNE and RAZADYNE ER in the US), a product marketed worldwide (excluding
the UK and the Republic of Ireland) by Janssen Pharmaceutical N.V. (Janssen),
an affiliate of Johnson & Johnson. Shire has the exclusive marketing rights in
the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

Sales of the REMINYL/ RAZADYNE range, for the symptomatic treatment of mild to
moderately severe dementia of the Alzheimer's type, continue to grow.

In June 2006 Janssen and Synaptech, Inc. filed a law suit against Barr for
infringement of their patent rights relating to RAZADYNE ER as a result of Barr
filing an ANDA with the FDA for a generic version of RAZADYNE ER. No court date
has been set.

Barr and other companies have filed ANDAs with the FDA for generic versions of
RAZADYNE and Janssen and Synaptech Inc. have filed law suits against some of
those ANDA filers. The court date for the first of these proceedings is May
2007.

4. Financial details

Cost of product sales

For the year to December 31, 2006 the cost of product sales was 16% of product
sales (2005: 16%). The cost of product sales for REPLAGAL in 2006 included a
$47.0 million adjustment in respect of acquired inventories (2005: $41.9
million). This fair value adjustment increased Shire's cost of product sales as
a percentage of sales for the year ended December 31, 2006 by 3% (2005: 3%).

For the year to December 31, 2006 cost of product sales included a charge of
$3.2 million for share based compensation under SFAS 123R (2005: $1.5 million).

Research and development (R&D)

R&D expenditure increased from $339.1 million in the year to December 31, 2005
to $386.9 million in the year to December 31, 2006, an increase of 14%. The
increase was primarily due to:

  * The addition of two significant R&D projects following the acquisition of
    TKT (ELAPRASE and GA-GCB); and
   
  * Upfront payments made to Duramed and Warren of $25.0 million and $5.5
    million, respectively.
   
Expressed as a percentage of total revenues, R&D expenditure was 22% for the
year to December 31, 2006 (2005: 21%). In both periods payments were made to
New River of $50 million for in-licensing VYVANSE. These payments have both
been expensed in accordance with Shire's accounting policy. The payments to New
River, Duramed and Warren in the year to December 31, 2006 totalled $80.5
million, equivalent to 5% of total revenues. In the year to December 31, 2005
the $50.0 million payment to New River was equivalent to 3% of total revenues.

For the year to December 31, 2006 R&D included a charge of $5.4 million for
share based compensation under SFAS 123R (2005: $2.9 million).

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)

SG&A expenses increased from $655.5 million in the year to December 31, 2005 to
$835.4 million in the year to December 31, 2006, an increase of 27%. As a
percentage of product sales, SG&A expenses were 54% (2005: 49%).

The increase in SG&A expenses was expected, with additional expenditure
required for:

  * The promotion and launch of DAYTRANA (including an increase in the ADHD
    sales force);
   
  * The recruitment of a new GI sales force in the US;
   
  * The recruitment of new US and European sales forces to launch Elaprase; and
   
  * Pre-launch activities relating to the 2007 launches of DYNEPO, LIALDA and
    VYVANSE.
   
For the year to December 31, 2006 SG&A included a charge of $34.4 million for
share based compensation under SFAS 123R (2005: $24.8 million), representing 2%
of total revenue (2005: 1%).

Depreciation and amortization

The depreciation charge for the year to December 31, 2006 was $43.3 million
(2005: $29.2 million, including $6.5 million for impairments of property, plant
and equipment). The amortization charge for the year to December 31, 2006 was
$56.3 million (2005: $45.2 million). The increase in both depreciation and
amortization is primarily due to the inclusion of a full year's amortization
and depreciation charge in respect of assets acquired through the TKT
acquisition, together with the amortization of capitalized milestone payments
for DAYTRANA following its launch in June 2006.

Intangible asset impairment

The charge for intangible asset impairments for the year to December 31, 2006
was $1.1 million (2005: $5.6 million). The impairment charge for the year to
December 31, 2006 resulted from the decision to stop selling a non-core
product.

The impairment charge for the year to December 31, 2005 resulted from the
approval of generic versions of AGRYLIN and the decision not to support and
promote certain non-core products.

Integration costs

For the year to December 31, 2006 the Company incurred $5.6 million of costs
associated with the integration of the TKT business into the Shire group (2005:
$9.7 million). This included retention payments for key staff of $3.0 million,
IT costs of $1.2 million and other costs of $1.4 million.

Gain on sale of product rights

For the year to December 31, 2006 the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of
$63.0 million (2005: $nil) on the disposal of ADDERALL to Duramed for $63.0
million in cash.

Interest income

For the year to December 31, 2006 the Company received interest income of $50.5
million (2005: $35.3 million). This income primarily related to interest
received on Shire's cash balances. Interest income for the year ending December
31, 2006 is higher than for the year ending December 31, 2005 primarily as a
result of increases in US dollar interest rates.

Interest expense

For the year to December 31, 2006 the Company incurred interest expense of
$26.4 million (2005: $12.0 million).

In both years this expense primarily relates to a provision for interest, which
may be awarded by the Court in respect of amounts due to those ex-TKT
shareholders who have requested appraisal of the acquisition consideration
payable for their TKT shares. The trial date for the appraisal rights
litigation has been set for April 23, 2007. Further information can be found in
our filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, including our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year to December 31, 2005 and our most
recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006. 

Other income, net

For the year to December 31, 2006 other income totaled $9.5 million.  This
included $4.6 million of investment income, foreign exchange gains of $3.2
million and $3.8 million of other income, offset by impairments of long-term
investments of $2.1 million. 

For the year to December 31, 2005 other income totaled $9.9 million.  This
included $4.3 million of investment income, a gain on sale of
available-for-sale securities of $3.9 million, a gain on sale of the drug
formulation business of $3.6 million and $1.5 million of other income, offset
by impairments of long-term investments of $2.0 million and foreign exchange
losses of $1.4 million.

Taxation

The effective rate of tax for the year to December 31, 2006 was 26.8% (2005:
27.5%, after excluding the impact of the $815.0 million write-off of in-process
R&D in respect of the TKT acquisition). The effective rate has fallen by 0.7%
as a result of a reduction in deferred taxes offset by an increase in current
taxes as a result of additional tax contingencies of $187 million recognised in
relation to ongoing tax audits. The reduction in deferred taxes was primarily
due to the reversal of valuation allowances following changes in estimates as
to the realisation of certain deferred tax assets. Following this reversal of
valuation allowances the net deferred tax asset has increased to $261.0 million
at December 31, 2006 (December 31, 2005: $116.2 million). Realization of
deferred tax assets is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income to
utilize such assets. Although realization of these assets is not assured, it is
more likely than not that the amount recognized will be realized.

Equity in earnings/(losses) of equity method investees

Net earnings of equity method investees of $5.7 million were recorded for the
year to December 31, 2006 (2005: net losses of $1.0 million). This comprised
earnings of $6.2 million from the 50% share of the antiviral commercialization
partnership with GSK in Canada (2005: $5.3 million), offset by losses of $0.5
million being the Company's share of losses in the GeneChem and EGS Healthcare
Funds (2005: losses of $6.3 million).

2 As the items added back to the net loss for the year to December 31, 2005
result in non GAAP net income for the year to December 31, 2005, the options
and warrants become dilutive under this measure and are therefore included in
the calculation of the denominator for non GAAP EPS.
