Second Quarter Results

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2013 totaled $2.1 million compared with net revenue of $819 thousand for the year ago quarter. The increase of $1.3 million, or 154%, was directly attributable to an increase in sales territories, sales people and new prescription products. Cost of goods sold increased by $92 thousand, or 25%, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the prior year quarter. Research and development expense increased to $1.7 million during the second quarter of 2013 compared with $833 thousand in the second quarter of 2012, due to costs incurred in the development of our new hormone replacement therapy and prescription prenatal products. Sales, general and administrative expenses increased to $5.5 million during the second quarter of 2013 compared with $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2012. As a result, our operating loss was $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared with $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2012.

Other non-operating expense decreased by $7.5 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared with the comparable quarter in 2012. This decrease resulted primarily from the beneficial conversion of debt and interest expense incurred during 2012, partially offset by an increase in amortization of financing costs of $396 thousand.

As a result, net loss for the second quarter of 2013 was $6.0 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $11.9 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, in the second quarter of 2012.

Six Months Results

Net revenue for the first half of 2013 totaled $3.6 million, compared with revenue of $1.5 million for the year ago period. The increase of $2.1 million, or 135%, was directly attributable to an increase in sales territories, sales people and new prescription products. Cost of goods sold increased by $135 thousand, or 20%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the prior year period. Research and development expenses increased to $3.3 million during the first half of 2013 compared with $1.2 million in the first half of 2012, due to costs incurred in the development of our new hormone replacement therapy and prescription prenatal products. Sales, general and administrative expenses increased to $10.0 million during the first half of 2013 compared with $6.4 million in the first half of 2012. As a result, our operating loss was $10.6 million in the first half of 2013 compared with $6.8 million in the first half of 2012.

Other non-operating expense decreased by $16.5 million for the first half of 2013 compared with the comparable period in 2012. This decrease resulted primarily from a loss on extinguishment of debt, the beneficial conversion of debt and interest expense incurred during 2012, partially offset by an increase in amortization of financing costs of $660 thousand.

As a result, net loss for the first half of 2013 was $12.4 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $25.1 million, or $0.29 per basic and diluted share, in the first half of 2012.

Cash and cash equivalents increased to $34.4 million at June 30, 2013.
