Hayward, CA – May 11, 2012 – Aradigm Corporation (OTC BB: ARDM.OB) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the first quarter and three months ended March 31, 2012.
Total revenue was $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared with $0.2 million in revenue for the first quarter of 2011. Revenue for both quarters reflects the quarterly royalty payment from Zogenix, Inc. for SUMAVEL* product sales.
