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 continue 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 work in the area of NS and potential
work in the area of Lupus, and our reliance on third-parties to conduct research and development and the ability of research
and development to generate successful results; Our ability to comply with federal and state regulations, including regulations
relating to pharmaceutical sales and marketing practices; 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
prescriptions may have upon our results; Our ability to effectively manage our growth, including the expansion of our NS selling
effort, and our reliance on key personnel; The impact to our business caused by economic conditions; Our ability to protect our
proprietary rights; The risk of product liability lawsuits; Unforeseen business interruptions and security breaches; 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, 2011 as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, or SEC, on February 22, 2012, and other documents filed with the SEC. 
The risk factors and other information contained in these documents should be considered in evaluating Questcor's prospects
and future financial performance.
