"In the first quarter of 2021, we faced difficult year-over-year quarterly
revenue comparisons, which included several one-time purchases and a current year COVID-19 impact on new patient starts. I am encouraged
by our strong sequential quarterly growth and increasing new pump placements, indicating newly diagnosed SCIg patients returning to pre-COVID
First Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Net sales were $5.4 million for the three months ending March 31, 2021, a 14%
decrease from $6.3 million in the same period of 2020, with strong sequential quarterly growth. The decrease was due principally to lower
novel therapies sales compared to last year due to a non-recurring clinical trial, lower domestic core pump volume primarily due to ordering
patterns and a one-time pharmaceutical customer pump purchase in the prior year. Domestic core business also reflected a slowdown in the
growth of new patient starts for SCIg therapy, as the COVID-19 pandemic continued to delay provider visits and new diagnoses.
International revenues were $1.0 million, flat with prior year.
Gross margin was 59.5% for the first quarter of 2021, roughly equivalent to
the same period in 2020.
Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2021 were $5.4 million, compared
to $3.2 million for the same period in 2020. The $2.2 million increase was due principally to expenses of $1.3 million related to leadership
changes, which included non-cash equity charges, as well as costs of $0.6 million associated with new hires in the second half of last
year to support commercialization, business development and medical affairs for the Company's novel therapies initiatives.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2021 was $1.3 million, or $(0.03) per diluted
share, compared to a net gain of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share for the same period of 2020. Net loss for the first quarter
of 2021 included $1.3 million of recent leadership change expenses, as noted above. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted diluted earnings per
share was $0.00 compared to $0.02 in the same period of 2020.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2021 was $(0.4) million,
compared to $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2020.

Reorganization Charges. We have excluded the effect of reorganization charges
in calculating our non-GAAP measures. We incurred significant expenses in connection with the departure and replacement of our chief
executive officer and the recruiting of two new board members, which we would not have otherwise incurred in periods presented as part
of our continuing operations.
Discontinued Product Expense. We have excluded the effect of expenses related
to a discontinued product line in calculating our non-GAAP measures. We expected to retire our Res-Q-Vac product line towards the
end of 2020, but due to the failure of equipment used to manufacture the product, the discontinuation and resulting expense was accelerated
into the first quarter of 2020 which we would not have otherwise incurred in periods presented as part of our continuing operations. We
did not incur any related expense in 2021.
Litigation. We have excluded litigation expenses in calculating our non-GAAP measures.
Litigation expenses in 2020 included professional fees associated with our litigation with EMED, which discontinued as a result
of the settlement on May 20, 2020.
Manufacturing Initiative Expenses. We have excluded the effect of expenses related
to creating manufacturing efficiencies, in calculating our non-GAAP measures. We incurred expenses in connection with these initiatives
which we would not have otherwise incurred in periods presented as part of our continuing operations. We expect to incur related
expenses for the next nine to fifteen months.
Stock-based Compensation Expense. We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation
expense in calculating our non-GAAP measures. We record non-cash compensation expense related to grants of options for executives,
employees and consultants, and grants of restricted shares to our board of directors. Depending upon the size, timing and the terms
of the grants, the non-cash compensation expense may vary significantly but will recur in future periods. Adjusted EBITDA for the
three months ended March 31, 2021 included stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million related to the departure and replacement of
our chief executive officer. This expense is included in Reorganization Stock-based Compensation Expense in calculating Adjusted
