The $210,000 revenue figure for the second quarter of 2006 was made up of $172,000 in sales to patients in our named patient program, $8,000 in sales to commercial patients and $30,000 in royalties.

 approved drug In the United States, the FDA approves drugs. Before a drug can be prescribed, it must undergo an extensive FDA approval process. This process involves first testing the drug on animals or in medical labs.  IPLEX IPLEX (mecasermin rinfabate [rDNA origin] injection) is a drug developed by INSMED corporation for the treatment of growth failure in children with severe primary IGF-I deficiency (Primary IGFD) or with growth hormone (GH) gene deletion who have developed neutralizing antibodies to (TM), commenced on May 25, 2006 with the first month's supply being provided free to many of the children in order for them to begin treatment immediately rather than wait for IPLEX(TM) to be approved by the individuals' payer plan. The $28,000 of revenue for the second quarter of 2005 reflects only royalties as receipts from our named patient program for the second quarter of 2005, totalling $27,000, were classed as a reduction in expense, as we were reporting results on a research and development basis at the time.

The net loss for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006 was $8.9 million or $0.09 per share, as compared to a net loss of $8.5 million or $0.19 per share for the corresponding quarter of 2005.

The $0.4 million increase in the net loss for the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the second quarter of 2005 was due mainly to a $3.5 million increase in selling, general and administration (SG&A) expense, which was partially offset by a combination of a $1.7 million decrease in interest expense, a $1.0 million reduction in research and development expense and a $0.3 million increase in interest income.

The rise in SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2006 is mainly due to the hiring and ramping up of our commercial team and associated marketing expenses for our commercial launch of IPLEX(TM), and the recording of patent litigation An action brought in court to enforce a particular right.

 expenses in the SG&A category as we commenced commercial operations in the second quarter of 2006. Prior to the second quarter of 2006 the patent litigation expenses were recorded in research and development. The decrease in interest expense is due to a $1.8 million reduction in non-cash amortization associated with the convertible debt discount on the 2005 notes, which was partially offset by a $0.1 million reduction in actual cash interest payments on the 2005 notes. The decrease in research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the corresponding period of 2005, was mainly due to the capitalization capitalization n. 1) the act of counting anticipated earnings and expenses as capital assets (property, equipment, fixtures) for accounting purposes. 2) the amount of anticipated net earnings which hypothetically can be used for conversion into capital assets.  of inventory and construction in progress at the our production facility in Boulder, Colorado The City of Boulder (, Mountain Time Zone) is a home rule municipality located in Boulder County, Colorado, United States. Boulder is the 11th most populous city in the State of Colorado, as well as the most populous city and the county  and the recording of the patent litigation expenses in SG&A. The increase in interest income for the quarter resulted from the higher level of cash on hand for investment as a result of the completion of our public offering in March of 2006.

Revenues reported for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $263,000 as compared to $85,000 reported for the same period in 2005. The $263,000 of revenues reported for the half year were made up of $172,000 in sales to patients in our named patient program, $8,000 in sales to commercial patients reported and $83,000 from royalties. The $85,000 of revenue for the first half of 2005 reflects only royalties, as receipts from our named patient program for the first half of 2005, totalling $134,000, were classified at the time as a reduction in expense.

Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $23,000, the same as reported for the second quarter of 2006.

The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $22.3 million, or $0.25 per share, compared to the net loss of $14.3 million, or $0.32 per share, reported for the corresponding period in 2005.

The $8.1 million increase in the net loss for the first half of 2006 as compared to the first half of 2005 was due primarily to a $6.0 million increase in SG&A expense, a $1.9 million increase in research and development expense and a $0.9 million rise in interest expense, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in interest income.

The rise in SG&A expenses is primarily due to the build-up build·up also build-up

2.
 of our commercial team and associated marketing expenses in connection with the launch of IPLEX(TM), together with the recording in SG&A of patent litigation expenses, which were higher than corresponding quarters. The higher research and development expenses were mainly due to higher product and process development expenses at our manufacturing facility in Boulder, Colorado, as we added personnel and continued scale up and process improvements in support of current and future IPLEX(TM) production. These increases were partially offset by the recording of patent litigation expenses in SGA SGA

 and the capitalization of inventory and construction in progress. The higher interest expense results from a $1.1 million increase in non-cash amortization of the March 2005 convertible debt discount, offset by a $0.2 million reduction in actual cash interest payments, as the conversion of the March 2005 notes and warrants, which were exercised during the first quarter of 2006, resulted in an acceleration of the debt discount and a reduction in interest paid. The increase in interest income for the quarter resulted from the higher level of cash on hand for investment.

As of June 30, 2006, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $48.4 million which represents an increase of $29.6 million from December December: see month.  31, 2005. This net increase is due to the $52.1 million in net cash provided by financing activities during the first half of the year, which was partially offset by the $19.5 million in net cash used during the half in support of our business operations Business operations are those activities involved in the running of a business for the purpose of producing value for the stakeholders. Compare business processes. The outcome of business operations is the harvesting of value from assets  and $3.0 million of construction in progress at our manufacturing facility. The $52.1 million of cash from financing activities was generated from a combination of $42.8 million in net proceeds Net Proceeds
