VITAMIN D-HORMONE AND SECONDARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM Vitamin D-hormones have essential roles in human health. They regulate: 1. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion by the parathyroid glands 2. The absorption of calcium by the small intestine 3. Muscle function 4. The proliferation and maturation of several types of normal and abnormal cells Vitamin D-hormone deficiency occurs when the kidneys begin to fail and are unable to provide adequate D-hormone. The majority of patients with ESRD have vitamin D deficiency. Inadequate levels of vitamin D-hormone may cause PTH secretion to rise which can lead to secondary hyperpara- thyroidism (SHPT). If SHPT is left untreated it may eventually result in cardiovascular compromise, reduced immunity, muscle weakness, and bone disease. Traditionally, the challenge in administering vitamin D-hormone therapy is to deliver a sufficient dose while maintaining normal levels of calcium and phosphorus. THE HECTOROL® SOLUTION ® Hectorol is the D2 analog that provides excellent D- hormone replacement therapy for ESRD patients by maintaining normal levels of vitamin D with a low risk of hypercalcemia through its unique pharmacokinetic profile. • Clinically significant iPTH suppression • Low incidence of hypercalcemia • Low incidence of hyperphosphatemia • The only D2 hormone available in both injectable and oral formulations TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS: June 2003 marked my one-year anniversary with Bone Care International. The past twelve months have been very rewarding as we have overcome challenges and achieved significant goals in our effort to improve the quality of life for the patients we serve and continue to build the value of our company. Paul L. Berns During fiscal 2003, we were successful in gaining FDA acceptance of a new manufacturer for our Hectorol® President and Injection brand, which has allowed the company to supply Chief Executive Officer sufficient inventory to support our existing and new patient demand. Despite the challenges associated with the interruption of the Hectorol® Injection supply during our mid fiscal year, we increased our total revenues by 30% reaching approximately $19.5 million in fiscal 2003 versus $15 million in the prior year. Additionally, we strategically invested $6 million in research and development initiatives to advance and grow the pipeline. As with any company, it is important to have a talented management team in place with the necessary skill set to analyze potential business opportunities and meet the challenges of a competitive market. We have continued to strengthen our management team by appointing Brian Hayden as Chief Financial Officer and Dr. Jeffrey Freitag as Vice President of Research and Development. We believe that their collective expertise in their relative fields will create additional value for our customers, employees and shareholders. Value is also created through appropriate corporate governance. All good companies are looking hard at their governance to make certain that their processes, environ- ment and oversight are proper and sound. At Bone Care International we have an experienced, fully engaged, majority independent board that continues to review and establish governance initiatives designed to hold manage- ment accountable and ensure that shareholders’ interests are well represented. As we prepare for future success, we will Hectorol® Capsules for the treatment of continue to focus on four key growth secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in initiatives for our business: chronic kidney disease patients prior to 1.
