In the report, the analyst notes:

"Product revenues from the sale of MUSE in the first quarter of 2010 were $1.6 million as compared to $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2009 due to the increase in number of units sold in 2010 as compared to last year. Total revenue for the first quarter of 2010 was $1.7 million as compared to $22.2 million for the first quarter of 2009.  

"VVUS currently has five late-stage clinical development programs in progress that target obesity, diabetes, sleep apnea and sexual health. Current research suggests that there is significant unmet need among patients living with these conditions."
