Safe Harbor Statement
2
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements
This presentation contains various forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “PSLRA”) and
which may be based on or include assumptions concerning our operations, future results and prospects. Such statements may be identified by the use of words like “plan,”
“expect,” “aim,” “believe,” “project,” “anticipate,” “commit,” “intend,” “estimate,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “potential” and other expressions that indicate future events and
trends.
All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including, without limitation, statements about product launches, governmental and regulatory
actions and proceedings, market position, revenues, expenditures and the impact of the recall and suspension of shipments on revenues, adjustments to the financial
statements, and other financial results, are forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and are subject to risk and uncertainties. In connection with the PSLRA’s “safe harbor” provisions, we
provide the following cautionary statements identifying important economic, competitive, political, regulatory and technological factors, among others, that could cause
actual results or events to differ materially from those set forth or implied by the forward-looking statements and related assumptions. Such factors include (but are not
limited to) the following:
(1)  our ability to continue as a going concern;
(2)  risks associated with the introduction and growth strategy related to the Company’s Makena ® product, including: 
(a) the impact of competitive, commercial payor, governmental (including Medicaid program), physician, patient, public or political responses and reactions, and
responses and reactions by medical professional associations and advocacy groups, on the Company’s sales, marketing, product pricing, product access and
strategic efforts; 
(b) the possibility that the benefit of any period of exclusivity resulting from the designation of Makena® as an orphan drug may not be realized as a result of the
FDA’s decision to decline to take enforcement action with regards to compounded alternatives; 
(c) the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (“CMS”) policy regarding Medicaid reimbursement for Makena®, and the resulting coverage decisions for
Makena® by various state Medicaid and commercial payors; 
(d) the satisfaction or waiver of the terms and conditions for our continued ownership of the full U.S. and worldwide rights to Makena® set forth in the previously
disclosed Makena® acquisition agreement, as amended; and 
(e)  the number of preterm births for which Makena® may be prescribed and its safety profile and side effects profile and acceptance of the degree of patient access
to and pricing; 
(3)  the possibility of delay or inability to obtain U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) approvals of Clindesse and Gynazole-1 and the possibility that any
product relaunch may be delayed or unsuccessful; 
(4)  risks related to compliance with various agreements and settlements with governmental entities including: 
(a) the consent decree between the Company and the FDA and the Company’s suspension in 2008 and 2009 of the production and shipment and the nationwide
recall of all of the products that it formerly manufactured, as well as the related material adverse effect on our revenue, assets and liquidity and capital resources;
(b) the agreement between the Company and the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS OIG”) to resolve the risk
of potential exclusion of the Company from participation in federal healthcare programs; and 
(c) our ability to comply with the plea agreement between a now-dissolved subsidiary of the Company and the U.S. Department of Justice; 
(5)  the availability of raw materials and/or products manufactured for the Company under contract manufacturing agreements with third parties; 


Safe Harbor Statement (cont.)
3
(6)    risks that the Company may not ultimately prevail in or that insurance proceeds will be insufficient to cover potential losses that may arise from litigation, including: 
(a)  the series of putative class action lawsuits alleging violations of the federal securities laws by the Company and certain individuals; 
(b)  product liability lawsuits; 
(c)  lawsuits pertaining to indemnification and employment agreement obligations involving the Company and its former Chief Executive Officer
(d)  the possibility that the pending lawsuits and investigation by HHS OIG regarding potential false claims under the Title 42 of the U.S. Code could result in significant 
      civil fines or penalties, including exclusion from participation in federal healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid and the possibility; and 
(e)  challenges to our intellectual property rights by actual or potential competitors and challenges to other companies’ introduction or potential introduction of generic or 
      competing products by third parties against products sold by the Company; 
(7)    the possibility that our current estimates of the financial effect of previously announced product recalls could prove to be incorrect; 
(8)    risks related to the Company’s highly leveraged capital structure, including: 
(a)  the risk that our debt obligations may be accelerated due to our inability to comply with covenants and restrictions contained in our loan agreements; 
(b)  restrictions on the ability to increase our revenues through certain transactions, including the acquisition or in-licensing of products; and 
(c)  risks that present or future changes in the Board of Directors may lead to an acceleration of the Company’s debt; 
(9)    the risk that we may not be able satisfy the quantitative listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, including with respect to minimum share price and public float; 
        and 
(10)  the risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. This discussion is not exhaustive, but is designed to highlight important factors that may impact 
        our forward-looking statements. 
Because the factors referred to above, as well as the statements included under the captions Part I, Item 7A—“Risk Factors,” Item 2—“Management’s Discussion and Analysis       
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in our Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, as supplemented by our subsequent SEC filings,  
could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue    
reliance on any forward-looking statements. 
All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements in this “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking   
Statements” and the risk factors that are included under the caption Part I, Item 7A—“Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, as      
supplemented by our subsequent SEC filings. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and we are under no obligation to update        
any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Report. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise, when      
they will arise and/or their effects. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our future business or financial condition or the extent to which any factor, or
combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

White House and the F.D.A. Often at Odds
By GARDINER HARRIS
Published: April 2, 2012
Page A1
to the agency, the only issue was that [Makena] offered guaranteed
safety while those made by pharmacists were riskier.  Though FDA
officials were then not aware of safety complaints about the pharmacy
made 17P, they worried about repeated instances over the years when
other pharmacy-made drugs had been found to lack potency or be
contaminated with deadly bacteria …
FDA officials said they had often been wrongly accused of
considering price in drug approval deliberations and had always been
able to reply that price was never a factor.  ‘We can’t say that anymore,’
a top F.D.A. official said unhappily.”


Focused on re-building specialty product portfolio targeting critical and unmet
therapeutic needs in the women’s health category, where historically K-V has
played a leadership role
Current strategic priorities include securing FDA approval to re-launch anti-
infective
franchise
and
driving

Future strategy centered on potential in-licensing, product acquisition
opportunities, and re-launch of other existing products
