The major highlights we achieved include approval of Zubsolv for sale in the US, establishment of manufacturing and a commercial subsidiary in the US, and finally that we launched Zubsolv in the US market. Although we just have commenced the launch of Zubsolv, I am pleased with the continued positive sales development and our improving market access position. We have laid the foundation for a successful 2014 - and by further improving our contracts with private and public insurance providers the coming year will aid to secure a commercial success of Zubsolv. The key factor for future success on the US market is to secure competitive market access for Zubsolv, i.e. contracts with private and public insurance providers to ensure access and preferential reimbursement. The first improvements came in November and December and I expect that Zubsolv will continue to improve the competitive position in the months to come. The implementation of the contract with CVS Caremark becomes effective as from January 1st this year and we have already achieved similar terms and conditions with Medimpact. This means that patients with restrictive insurance plans in these programs can only choose Zubsolv or generic products as of January 1, 2014. The effect of the improved reimbursements and the targeted sales efforts could already be seen at the end of December, and I am pleased to see gross sales increased by more than 60 percent during the first full week of January and the amount of tablets sold doubled during the first two weeks of January. Another major factor that will determine the commercial success of Zubsolv is the product awareness amongst prescribers, our ability to sell Zubsolv to the doctors against the competing products, and our success in developing Zubsolv further through comprehensive investments into life cycle management activities. In order to take advantage of the improved market access, our commercialization partner Publicis Touchpoint Solutions will expand its sales organization at the end of January. This expanded organization will primarily concentrate on areas where there are a high percentage of patients with a favorable price coverage and reimbursement for Zubsolv. Our other key product, Abstral, continued to develop positively during 2013 in Europe and towards end of the year also in the US. The US partner for Abstral, Galena Biopharma Inc., has already demonstrated that they can drive market share growth, as Abstral reached about five percent share of total prescription in the beginning of 2014 – 7 months from the contract was signed. Abstral was also approved and launched in Japan by Kyowa Hakko Kirin during the year and we look forward to a similar success on this market. In 2013 we decided to undertake significant investment in clinical trials and to establish manufacturing processes and substantial inventories of Zubsolv in relation to the launch. I am looking forward to a 2014 where we will leverage these investments to drive the success of Zubsolv. In the coming year we will have a high focus on driving sales of Zubsolv, complete the initiated life-cycle management initiatives, and secure optimal management of the working capital to develop a profitable Orexo. The united Swedish and US colleagues of Orexo are fully committed to secure the commercial success of Zubsolv.
