for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $37.8 million, compared to $48.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The decrease in R&D expenses was due primarily to a decrease in clinical and other project expenses to support the UDB Phase 3 clinical program, which was suspended in the third quarter of 2009, and a decrease in clinical and other project expenses to support the LEVADEX Phase 3 clinical program. The Company completed clinical development for LEVADEX in 2010 and plans to submit an NDA to the FDA in the first half of 2011. The decrease in R&D expenses was partially offset by an increase in personnel related expenses, including stock-based compensation.  

Sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010 were $4.0 million compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 2009. The increase in SG&A expenses for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009 was related primarily to an increase in personnel related expenses, including stock-based compensation, and an increase in professional services and LEVADEX related marketing activities.

SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $15.7 million compared to $13.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in SG&A expenses was due primarily to an increase in personnel related expenses, including stock-based compensation, an increase in professional services and LEVADEX related marketing activities and an increase in other expenses.For the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010, non-cash stock-based compensation and depreciation was approximately $2.1 million and $7.8 million, respectively.
