IGI's President and Chief Executive Officer, Jason Grenfell-Gardner, stated, "This year was a critical one for our team, and I believe we have delivered.  At the beginning of 2013, we committed to double revenue, achieve profitability, and file at least six ANDAs.  As promised, our revenues year to date were 113% higher than 2012, our fourth quarter net income totaled $0.7 million, and our year to date net loss approached break even for the first time since 1997.  In addition we filed six ANDAs with the FDA in 2013."  Mr. Grenfell-Gardner continued, "Our research and development team now has thirteen filings pending with the US FDA.  Based on current IMS Health data, the addressable market for our pipeline of thirteen ANDAs, pending approval by the FDA is estimated at over $300 million.  Our expectations for 2014 are even greater.  We expect revenue to increase between 40% and 45% over 2013.  We intend to sustain profitability in 2014; however, we plan to at least double our spending in research and development in 2014 over 2013 to accelerate the growth of our pipeline. Our team is committed to file at least ten ANDAs in 2014."  

On December 6, 2013, we declared a preferred stock dividend of 415,118 shares of our common stock in connection with the mandatory automatic conversion of 1,550 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock into common stock.  The Company originally issued 1,550 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock on March 29, 2010, for which the holders were entitled to quarterly dividends at an annual rate of 5%.  On December 6, 2013, the preferred stock and all accrued but unpaid dividends were required to be converted after the closing price of the Company's common stock had exceeded three times the closing price on the issuance date for a period of twenty-five consecutive trading days immediately preceding December 6, 2013.  The Company issued 2.7 million shares of common stock in connection with this conversion. As a result of this non-cash preferred stock dividend in the amount of $1.3 million recognized upon the mandatory conversion of the Company's Series C preferred stock, net loss attributable to common stockholders was $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.
