General and administrative costs were $7.4 million for the first quarter of 2016, a decline of 30%, compared to the first quarter of 2015, mainly due to the reduction in force and closure of the Paramus facility in 2015 in addition to reduced professional fees related to strategic planning activities incurred in 2015 and lower non-cash stock compensation expense. Product manufacturing costs for the first quarter of 2016 were $7.5 million, an increase of 300%, compared to the same quarter of 2015, due to underutilization of the manufacturing facility and loss from foreign currency exchange of $2.4 million related to purchase commitments.
