What is your take on the YE financials?

Revenues were
Q1 96 (mostly Dioptic <gg>)
Q2 344
Q3 51
Q4 524

Provalis was terminated June 14th.
Any guess what the Q4 revenue break down is?

Pennsaid 2001 sales total 513,000
Dioptic 2001 sales total 456,000

UK
Caribbean
Luxumbourge
Dioptic = 456,000
OXO

(would OXO register only one day of sales?)
There was a pickup in Pennsaid sales later in the year because Q1, Q2 and Q3 had neglible Pennsaid sales. I doubt Q4 had any significant UK sales. That leaves Caribbean and Lux.

I'm uncomfortable with the Sales & Marketing Expense.
Q1 308
Q2 887
Q3 1132
Q4 1017
Q4 spanned Mar-May and there were no expectation of a HC approval then. So why spend $1mm plus in this area? Grunt.

Selling and marketing expenses increased to $3.3 million in fiscal 2002 from $1.4 million in the prior fiscal year, reflecting the cost of recruiting and training medical representatives in anticipation of PENNSAID(R) regulatory approval in Canada.

Other than that item, everything is as expected.

Hope we see a return on OXO investment asap given the low level of cash resource and committments. The traditional route with a Partner would be a suggestion.
