About Apricus Biosciences, Inc.

Apricus Bio, a San Diego-based, revenue-generating, biopharmaceutical company,
has leveraged the flexibility of its clinically-validated NexACT(r) drug
delivery 
technology to enable multi-route administration of new and improved compounds
across numerous therapeutic classes. 

Revenues and growth are driven from out-licensing of this technology for the
development and commercialization of such compounds to pharmaceutical and
biotechnology companies worldwide. In addition, the Company is seeking to
monetize its existing Rx Division product pipeline, including its first
product, Vitaros(r), approved in Canada for the treatment of erectile
dysfunction, which is currently expected to be available on the Canadian market
in 2011, as well as compounds in development from pre-clinical through Phase
III, currently focused on Sexual Dysfunction, Oncology, Dermatology,
Autoimmune, Pain, Anti-Infectives, Diabetes and Cosmeceuticals among others. 

The Company is also developing its Consumer Healthcare Division by developing a
number of drugs that utilize the Company's NexACT(r) technology to comply with
the FDA's over-the-counter ('OTC') requirements, can be cleared as 510(k)
topical creams that are considered to be medical devices or approved as
Abbreviated New Drug Applications ('ANDAs') as generic drugs. The Company will
also seek to market such drugs through these similar procedures in foreign
countries.
