These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company is a development stage company and has not yet generated significant revenues from inception to March 31, 2013. Since inception, the Company's expenses relate primarily to research and development, organizational activities, clinical manufacturing, regulatory compliance, sales and operational strategic planning.
