Connetics Corporation Company Profile

Connetics Corporation is focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of marketed and late-stageproducts. The Company's product and commercial focus is initially targeted at rheumatology and dermatology, two specialty medical markets. These commercially attractive markets have large patient populations yet relatively small physician

treating groups. U.S. dermatologists and rheumatologists write prescriptions each year exceeding $5.0 billion. The Company's goal is to leverage these markets by commercializing novel products to meet currently unmet medical needs

and employing focused and highly trained sales staff. Connetics currently markets Ridaura(R) (auranofin), a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, and ACTIMMUNE(R) (interferon gamma-1b), a treatment for chronic granulomatous disease (beginning January 1999). On March 1, 1999 Connetics received clearance from the FDA to begin marketing Luxiq(TM) (betamethasone valerate) Foam, 0.12%, a product to treat corticosteroid-responsive scalp dermatoses. Connetics has several other products in development: ConXn(R) (recombinant human relaxin H2) ("relaxin"), targeting scleroderma, organ fibrosis, and infertility; and OLUX(TM) (clobetasol propionate) Foam, 0.05%, a novel formulation for the treatment of severe scalp dermatoses; and interferon gamma (through its wholly-owned subsidiary, InterMune Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) for the treatment of certain congenital, infectious and other diseases.
