For the full-year ended December 31, 2010, product revenue grew to $40.2 million, an increase of 123% from the $18.0 million in product revenue reported for 2009, and total revenue grew to $48.6 million, an increase of 64% from 2009. Product revenue totaled $13.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, an increase of 105% from the $6.6 million in product revenue reported for the comparable period in 2009. Total fourth quarter 2010 revenue, which included development grant and other revenue, was $15.6 million, an increase of 49% from the comparable period in 2009. Product gross margin totaled $5.9 million and $14.1 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010, compared to gross margin of $1.2 million and gross deficit of $(0.2) million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009. The Company reported a net loss of $9.8 million, or $0.16 per share, and $55.2 million, or $0.97 per share, for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $11.5 million, or $0.25 per share, and $53.5 million, or $1.21 per share, for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009. The net loss for 2010 included $22.3 million in non-cash expenses, comprised primarily of share-based compensation, loss on debt extinguishment upon conversion of convertible notes, depreciation, and amortization.

Total cost of sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 totaled $30.2 million compared to $26.0 million for 2009. The increase was primarily due to additional product sales offset by lower development expenses relating to our continuing performance obligations under development and collaboration agreements entered into during 2008. Research and development expense totaled $23.2 million in 2010 compared to $14.3 million in 2009. Changes in research and development expense included additional salaries and payroll related costs, share-based compensation, and facility costs. Selling, general and administrative expense totaled $40.5 million in 2010 compared to $35.2 million in 2009, with the change primarily due to additional selling, information technology, and international business development costs, including increased share-based compensation. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had $47.1 million in cash and marketable securities, and $1.7 million in restricted cash.
