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, estimated channel inventory 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.
