CEO’s comments
During the third quarter we have taken several important steps to improve the
treatment of opioid dependence and to establish Zubsolv as a preferred choice.
We finalized the detailed analysis of our clinical studies. Especially the
ISTART study demonstrated interesting and positive data for Zubsolv, outlined in
the Zubsolv section, which will become the foundation for our commercial efforts
in the fourth quarter. Another important milestone has been the implementation
of the agreement with United Health Group (UHG) where Zubsolv became the
exclusive choice for patients in the highly controlled plans of UHG. The
agreement with UHG has been followed by additional market access agreements, the
most noteworthy being the agreement with the largest commercial prescription
payer, the pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) Express Scripts (ESI) and a leading
Managed Medicaid provider WellCare. ESI will place Zubsolv in a preferred
position from January 2015 and WellCare will place Zubsolv in an exclusive
position with implementation starting in November this year.

I am pleased to see that sales of Zubsolv continue to grow; in terms of tablets
prescribed Zubsolv increased by more than 80 percent compared to the second
quarter. The significant growth resulted in a market share (tablets prescribed)
that increased to 4 percent in September compared to 2.3 percent in June. A lot
of the growth came from our agreement with UHG, however we also experienced
double digit growth in all other major books of business, and even within large
commercial insurance companies where Zubsolv is not yet a preferred product, for
instance within ESI, we saw double digit growth. This shows that Zubsolv is
competitive and during the summer we have seen many of our sales districts
exceeding 10 percent market share in the commercial prescription segment i.e.
the market segment where we have comparable or better market access than our
competitors.

A continuous clinical and pharmaceutical development of Zubsolv is the
foundation for our strategy to ensure sustainable long term growth. A first step
on the clinical development was taken when we filed an application to expand the
Zubsolv label to include Induction of treatment. In addition, we are expecting
approval of our higher strengths shortly. With a new label and new dosages, more
patients can get the right dose by taking only one tablet and thus reduce the
need to combine different dosages from the first day of treatment. We are
working on several additional life cycle initiatives for Zubsolv, which can
differentiate the product further from competing treatment alternatives.

To ensure a solid financial foundation of Zubsolv and to advance our pipeline,
we successfully completed a private share placement in September. Our major
investments in inventory and clinical studies are behind us, we have streamlined
the Swedish operations, and our US commercial operations are very close to break
-even, we are now well positioned to expand our focus and will initiate the next
steps in our development pipeline. Two immediate initiatives will be to decide
the final development path and commercialization strategy for OX51 and for
Zubsolv outside the US. For both initiatives we will assess the optimal timing
of involving external partners from a value creation perspective. This will
enable a continued management and R&D focus on the Zubsolv US launch and life
cycle management.

Our main focus remains on the commercialization of Zubsolv. We will continue to
expand our field force as market access improves and our expectations for the
last quarter of 2014 are set high. We have accomplished a lot during the first
three quarters of 2014, and we are fully committed to continue at a high pace to
ensure that we gain additional market share, fully leveraging the clinical
results from the ISTART study and improved market access.
