For the year ended June 30, 2007, Transition recorded a net loss of $16,961,790 ($0.87 per common share) compared to a net loss of $23,018,090 ($1.53 per common share) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.
Research and development expenses excluding amortization of intangibles decreased to $9,839,170 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 from $11,060,455 for the same period in 2006.
