ed September 30, 2010, compared to $8.6 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease is due mainly to the absence, in 2010, of amortization of an upfront license fee payment related to our agreement with sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC, which was entered into in March 2009 and subsequently terminated, in connection with our now discontinued development program involving cetrorelix for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia ("BPH"). Research and development ("R&D") costs, net of tax credits and grants, were $4.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to $9.7 million for the same period in 2009. The comparative decrease in net R&D costs is primarily attributable to the winding down and termination of development activities related to cetrorelix in BPH. Net losswas $10.1 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to $11.3 million, or $0.19 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2009. The decrease in net loss is attributable largely to lower net R&D expenses and to lower SG&A expenses, despite both the comparative decrease in revenues and the comparative increase in foreign exchange losses. Cash and cash equivalents totalled $39.9 million as at September 30, 2010.
