Item 7.01.    Regulation FD Disclosure.

On September 10, 2014, Richard W. Pascoe, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and other executive officers will be presenting an updated corporate presentation at the Rodman & Renshaw Global Investment Conference. The presentation is currently available on the Company’s website and filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

The information set forth in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, and it shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, except as expressly provided by specific reference in such a filing.

By filing this Current Report on Form 8-K and furnishing the information in this Item 7.01, the Company makes no admission as to the materiality of Item 7.01 in this report or the presentation attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The information contained in the presentation is summary information that is intended to be considered in the context of the Company’s filings with the SEC and other public announcements that the Company makes, by press release or otherwise, from time to time. The Company undertakes no duty or obligation to publicly update or revise the information contained in this Item, although it may do so from time to time as its management believes is appropriate. Any such updating may be made through the filing of other reports or documents with the SEC, through press releases or through other public disclosure.

The Company cautions you that the presentation attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, as amended. Statements in the presentation that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, among other things: references to the timing of planned launches and initial shipments of Vitaros® in various countries by the Company’s commercial partners, the planned launch strategy for Vitaros in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany and other countries, the planned commencement of a Phase 2a clinical trial and approved pathway for RayVa™ and the planned out-license of Femprox® in Europe; the potential for Vitaros to achieve commercial success generally or in any specific territory, such as the United Kingdom, Sweden or Germany; and the Company’s 2014 financial outlook, including cash projections. Actual results could differ from those projected in any forward-looking statements due to a variety of reasons that are outside the control of the Company, including, but not limited to: its ability to further develop its product Vitaros for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (“ED”), such as the room temperature version of Vitaros, and its product candidate RayVa for the treatment of Raynaud’s phenomenon, as well as the timing of such events; the Company’s ability to carry out clinical studies for RayVa, as well as the timing and success of the results of such studies; the Company’s dependence on its commercial partners to carry out the commercial launch of Vitaros in various territories, such as the United Kingdom, Sweden and Germany, and the potential for delays in the timing of commercial launch; competition in the ED market and other markets in which the Company and its partners operate; the Company’s ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for Vitaros; the Company’s ability to raise additional funding that it may need to continue to pursue its commercial and business development plans; the Company’s ability to obtain the requisite governmental approval for Femprox and RayVa; and market conditions. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this report, and the Company assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Readers are urged to read the risk factors set forth in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K, subsequent quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q, and other filings made with the SEC. Copies of these reports are available from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or without charge from the Company.
