Alfred Altomari: We believe we advance our goal of financing our operations by raising proceeds through our, at-the-market or ATM offering in the second quarter of 2022, and via the public offering in July of 2022.

But believe the meaningful reduction in our debt improves our balance sheet, and gives the company flexibility in future capital raises, as well in business development and partnership opportunities.

Prospect there was <unk> in short.
Once companies, including the Pbms that were brought to the White House did talk about the enforcement of the a specific ACI specifically this issue is on kind of.

Alfred Altomari: Hi, Oren.
Alfred Altomari: It's Al.
Alfred Altomari: Great question, D.C.
So proud of our group in the industry.
This is not an agile issue.
We talked before this is an industry issue.
Alfred Altomari: I think the most important thing that's happened is that we got our message to the right audience.
Alfred Altomari: The Monday after the announcement of Roe v. Wade, the Congressional Bureau, you know, put out the press that there was 13 insurance companies, including the PBMs, that were brought to the White House to talk about, you know, the enforcement of the ACA specifically.
Work collaboratively with our peers, both big and small form the coalition that really does.
Alfred Altomari: This issue is on kind of his doorstep, if you will, along with the two other secretaries that also regulate this, the Secretary of the Treasury and Labor.
Hi to educate our providers of what were our.
Regulators, what we see on the ground so to add information.

Yes.
So.
Now.
Asia, because we have on telemarketing reign, you'll talk more about it.
I wish I wish I could answer.
Question, we're fully if there's anything more we can do I think we've done great work of all drilling.
CT analysis for the insurance companies to come in full compliance.
I certainly do believe if that doesn't happen there needs to be enforced.
Just at that point.
We'll see better compliance with standards and I would like to see more faster.
Sorry, I didn't answer.
I mean, obviously really impressive.
He'll channel and I'm, just curious are you starting to see.
Of orders large orders repeat orders.
Such that you can start to.
Projecting even that channel going forward, how big it could be or at this point is it still too early.
Alfred Altomari: And I guess along those lines, do you have any visibility, what data that allows you to connect the dots between orders, you know, from like a Planned Parenthood, from a FACCIS to actual dispensing of prescriptions?
At this point and I guess, along those lines do you have any visibility.
That allows you to connect the dots.
Between orders.
From like a planned parenthood from us access to act.
Actual dispensing of prescriptions Dino if theyre, just stocking up because it's available.
Alfred Altomari: Do you know if they're just stocking up because it's available, especially in, you know, the wake of Roe?
Especially in the wake of ROE or are they actually dispensing those prescriptions through those channels.
Alfred Altomari: Or are they actually dispensing those prescriptions through those channels?
Alfred Altomari: Yeah, I'll answer maybe the level.
Yeah, I'll answer maybe the level.
Alfred Altomari: Their business flows through IQVIA and Symphony, as we discussed, but on a different audit called the non-retail audit or the institutional audit.
Their business flows through <unk> and Symphony as we've.
Scott put on a different order quantity or the non retail audit institutional audit. Unfortunately, Pedro organizations don't report prescriber level data.
Alfred Altomari: Unfortunately, the organizations don't report prescriber-level data, you know, from that audit.
Data format audit, so it sort of like a hospital with more on that we see it going in we don't see the pull through.
Alfred Altomari: So it's sort of like a hospital system alignment.
Alfred Altomari: We see it going in.
Alfred Altomari: We don't see the pull-through.
Alfred Altomari: What gives us great comfort that Amy will comment on, we see repeat orders.
It gives us great comfort that annual comment on received repeat orders.
Alfred Altomari: So it wasn't Roe v. Wade.
Volume is all wasn't really be way.
Alfred Altomari: We saw that continuously grow.
So all of that continuing to think about so and then but I will say our customer got significantly distracted during <unk> the planned Parenthood accounts.
Alfred Altomari: But I will say our customer got significantly distracted, you know, doing Roe v. Wade.
Alfred Altomari: The Planned Parenthood accounts, because we have to go through a formulary situation, they came off game in July.
Because we have to go through a formulary system situation since.
It became off game in July .
Alfred Altomari: You know, so we still see significant volume there.

Alfred Altomari: Amy will talk about what she's seeing in the repeat orders. But if you want to give a little more color to that.
Amy Welsh: Yeah, thank you.
Amy Welsh: And, Oren, thank you.
Amy Welsh: I know we could talk more offline.
For some of the early.
Planned parenthood, and taking them on borrowing in Q1 and startup T to where others.
And how do we project from our forecasting.
Perspective, looking at the moderate or even some larger accounts coming on board.
Brian Melton properly forecast is in the back half of the year. So it is not an exact science to us yet another lever mental over here, we're able to properly plan.
Amy Welsh: It's not, I think, an exact science just yet.
Amy Welsh: But now that we're in the middle of the year, we're able to properly plan.
Amy Welsh: All right.
Alright.
Amy Welsh: It's still different.
Amy Welsh: Some customers buy once a week.
Some customers buy once a week.
Amy Welsh: Some customers buy once a month.
However to remind once a month, so we're getting the hang of it but.
Amy Welsh: So we're getting the hang of it, you know, but it's not like a pharmacy that buys every day.
It's not like a pharmacy to advise everybody by pharmacies that on demand shipping mix.
Amy Welsh: Pharmacies get on-demand shipping.
Amy Welsh: We're seeing repeat orders, so that's good.
We are seeing repeat orders so that's good.
Amy Welsh: I appreciate it.

Alfred Altomari: Related to this, I go back to the presidential order that was signed by President Biden, where...
Alfred Altomari: ...was over his shoulder that actually empowered Health and Human Services to have...
Alfred Altomari: So we're at a good point, Oren.
Alfred Altomari: You know, our goals with the company, as you can see, are to grow the TORLA brand, but also a big end, and, you know, get the cash flow positive. By once again increasing TORLA's demand and revenue significantly, at the same time, reducing our op-ex footprint.
