Recent Achievements

	•		On September 2, 2010, the Company presented the final data set from its Phase 3 study for Ketotransdel at the 13th World Congress on Pain in Montreal, Canada.
	•		On September 9, 2010, the Company reported that JH Direct completed their initial product testing of the Company’s anti-cellulite formulation in 24 subjects, which consisted of observing the before and after results of applying the product over a 16-week period. The positive results observed during this test have led JH Direct to initiate plans for a final test in approximately 25 subjects to be conducted by a third-party skin research center. JH Direct is planning a commercial launch of the product for the first quarter of 2011 subject to successful completion of the final test.
	•		On October 21, 2010 the Company announced the appointment of John N. Bonfiglio, Ph.D. as Chief Executive Officer and President.

Given his experience, the Board of Directors is extremely pleased to have Dr. Bonfiglio join Transdel to continue to drive the vision of the Company.
	•		On November 1, 2010, the Company received notice from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service that it was approved to receive a Federal grant in the amount of approximately $244,000 under the Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project that is part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The funds were awarded in support of Ketotransdel, the Company’s late-stage topical NSAID for the treatment of acute soft tissue injuries. The Company expects to receive the funds by the end of 2010.

Third Quarter and Year-to-Date 2010 Financial Results

As of September 30, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.5 million, compared to $1.0 million at June 30, 2010. However, as noted above, on November 1, 2010, the Company was notified that they will receive $244,000 under the Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project.

Third Quarter Financial Results

Transdel reported a net loss of approximately $0.7 million, or $0.05 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to a net loss of approximately $0.9 million, or $0.06 per share, for the same period last year.

Research and development expenses totaled approximately $0.1 million and $0.6 million for the third quarter 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in research and development costs compared to 2009 was primarily due to expenses incurred for the Phase 3 clinical study of Ketotransdel^® that was in progress during the third quarter 2009.

General and administrative expenses totaled approximately $0.6 million and $0.4 million for the third quarter 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase was primarily due to stock-based compensation expenses for investor relations and consulting services provided to the Company.

Year-to-Date Financial Results

Transdel reported a net loss of approximately $2.1 million, or $0.13 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to a net loss of approximately $3.8 million, or $0.24 per share, for the same period last year.

Research and development expenses totaled approximately $0.3 million and $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in research and development costs compared to 2009 was primarily due to expenses incurred for the Phase 3 clinical study of Ketotransdel^® that was in progress during the first nine months of 2009.

General and administrative expenses totaled approximately $1.8 million and $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase is primarily due to a one-time charge of approximately $0.4 million for expenses relating to the separation agreement between the Company and our former chief executive officer who resigned in February 2010 and stock-based compensation expenses for investor relations and consulting services provided to the Company primarily during the third quarter.
