For the quarter ending September 30, 2006, the Company recorded revenue of $446,268 which was primarily attributable to the revenue recognized for the Novartis licensing agreement.

The decrease in net loss applicable to common stock is primarily attributable to the reduction in overhead and decreased spending on NM100060, our nail lacquer product for onychomycosis, as Novartis has taken over all future development. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had approximately $6 million in cash and short term investments.
