The increase in net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period last fiscal year, is mainly attributable to costs related to Palatin's ongoing Phase 2B clinical trial with bremelanotide for Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD), which commenced in June 2011.

COSTS AND EXPENSES
Total operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 were $6.1 million compared to $2.7 million for the comparable quarter of 2011. The increase in operating expenses for the quarter was primarily due to costs related to Palatin's ongoing Phase 2B clinical trial with bremelanotide for FSD.
