why are they advertising?, page-2

Noellyn, certainly some interesting points you have made.
As far as I am concerned you always have to go about business like usual until the fat lady does actually sing. You can't be seen to be running any business unit down you are going to be selling.

If they never advertised Herron then I would be angry but they always have and therefore should continue till until the Pharmaceuticals Division is actually sold.

The thing that bothers me is the revenue figure for the Pharma Division was $250m for the half year. Who in their right mind pays $900m for a business that turns over $500m/year? Can anyone explain why they would pay that much?
