(1) The reduction in the Gross accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2017 when compared to the December 31, 2016 balance is due to higher Gross sales in the last two months of the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the last two months of the second quarter of 2017.

(2) The reductions in the Chargebacks and Rebates balances as of June 30, 2017 when compared to the December 31, 2016 balance were primarily due to product, customer mix, price erosion and volume declines and payment timing. The price erosion and volume declines were due to increased industry pricing pressure and the competitive nature of our business.
