Total revenue was approximately $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2012 compared with revenue of approximately $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2011. Revenue in both quarters reflects the quarterly royalty payment from Zogenix for product sales of SUMAVEL® DosePro™ needle-free delivery system for treatment of acute migraine and cluster headaches.
The Company’s net loss for the third quarter of 2012 was approximately $2.0 million, or $0.01 per share, compared with a net loss of approximately $2.4 million, or $0.01 per share, for the third quarter of 2011. Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2012 were approximately $1.8 million, compared with total operating expenses of approximately $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2011. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to lower clinical costs for the inhaled ciprofloxacin program versus the prior year period.
As of September 30, 2012, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled approximately $4.1 million.
