Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Business

The risk factor disclosure under the heading “We are not currently profitable and might never become profitable” on page S-10 of the preliminary prospectus supplement dated September 28, 2010 has been revised to correct the net losses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to the figure reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for that period. The corrected risk factor is set forth below:

We have a history of losses and expect to incur substantial losses and negative operating cash flow for the foreseeable future, and we might never achieve or maintain profitability. Even if we succeed in developing and commercializing one or more product candidates, we expect to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future and might never become profitable. From inception through June 30, 2010 we had losses of $111.7 million. We had net losses of $16.2 million, $25.8 million and $35.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and we anticipate losses for the foreseeable future. Actual losses will depend on a number of considerations, including:

 

   

the pace of commercialization and marketing effort for droxidopa;

 

   

the pace and success of preclinical development and clinical trials for droxidopa, antifolates and other product candidates;


   

possible out-licensing of our product candidates;

 

   

seeking regulatory approval for our various product candidates;

 

   

discussions with regulatory agencies concerning the design of our clinical trials;

 

   

our ability to identify and recruit patients into our clinical trials at costs consistent with our current estimates;

 

   

the pace of development of new intellectual property for our existing product candidates;

 

   

in-licensing and development of additional product candidates;

 

   

implementing additional internal systems and infrastructure; and

 

   

hiring additional personnel.

We also expect to experience negative cash flow for the foreseeable future as we fund our operating losses and development expenditures. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenue in order to achieve and maintain profitability. We might not be able to generate revenue or achieve profitability in the future and are unlikely to do so in the near term. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our securities.
