Safe Harbor Statement
Note: Except for the historical information contained herein, this press release contains forward-looking statements that
have been made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to future events
or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as
“believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “growth,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “should,” “substantial” or
“will” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual
events or results may differ materially. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not
limited to, the following: our reliance on Acthar for substantially all of our net sales and profits; Reductions in vials used
per prescription resulting from changes in treatment regimens by physicians or patient compliance with physician
recommendations; the complex nature of our manufacturing process, and the potential for supply disruptions or other
business disruptions; the lack of patent protection for Acthar, and the possible FDA approval and market introduction of
competitive products; our ability to generate revenue from sales of Acthar to treat on-label indications associated with NS
and our ability to develop other therapeutic uses for Acthar; research and development risks, including risks associated
with Questcor's preliminary work in the area of nephrotic syndrome and potential work in the area of systemic lupus
erythematosus, and our reliance on third-parties to conduct research and development and the ability of research and
development to generate successful results; regulatory changes or other policy actions by governmental authorities and
other third parties in connection with U.S. health care reform or efforts to reduce federal and state government deficits;
our ability to receive high reimbursement levels from third party payers; an increase in the proportion of our Acthar unit
sales comprised of Medicaid-eligible patients and government entities; our ability to estimate reserves required for Acthar
used by government entities and Medicaid-eligible patients  and the impact that unforeseen invoicing of historical
Medicaid sales may have upon our results; our ability to operate within an industry that is highly regulated at both the
Federal and state level; our ability to effectively manage our growth and our reliance on key personnel; the impact to our
business caused by economic conditions; our ability to protect our proprietary rights; our ability to maintain effective
controls over financial reporting; the risk of product liability lawsuits; unforeseen business interruptions; volatility in
Questcor's monthly and quarterly Acthar shipments and end-user demand, as well as volatility in our stock price; and
other risks discussed in Questcor's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, and other
documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The risk factors and other information contained in these documents should be considered in evaluating Questcor's
prospects and future financial performance.
