For the three months ended June 30, 2003, the Company had a net loss of $4,582,000 or $0.23 per share, compared with a net loss of $5,624,000 or $0.32 per share for the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the net loss was $7,714,000 or $0.39 per share, compared with a net loss of $10,010,000 or $0.58 per share for the same period last year.

Additional Financial Information In December 2002, Cellegy received $15 million from PDI for exclusive commercial rights to Fortigel in North American markets. To date, Cellegy has recorded licensing revenue of $208,000 from PDI in each of the first two quarters of 2003 reflecting the amortization of this payment over the expected commercial life of Fortigel. The balance will continue to be recorded as licensing revenue in subsequent quarters over the life of the product. Gryphon has not yet determined their skin care product requirements for the remainder of 2003. Lower operating expenses in the first two quarters of this year, compared with the same period last year resulted primarily from pre-launch marketing costs for the Company's CellegesicTM (nitroglycerin ointment) 0.4% product candidate last year, as well as, the costs of completing two Phase III clinical trials last year. No additional Cellegesic marketing costs are anticipated for 2003. Operating expenses in this year's second quarter included non-cash compensation charges, totaling approximately $935,000, associated with the cancellation of certain Cellegy stock options, a payment made in stock to acquire certain patent rights and bonus payments made in stock. Clinical expenses are expected to increase during the next two quarters as enrollment in the Cellegesic and Tostrelle clinical trials accelerate. In the first quarter ended March 31, 2003, Cellegy incurred a non-cash, non-operating expense of $542,000 associated with the reassessment of Cellegy's South San Francisco facility sub-lease arrangement, primarily related to the write down of capitalized tenant improvements. We do not expect any further adjustments to these assets in the foreseeable future.
