In April 2007, the Company implemented a returns and inventoryoptimization plan designed to reduce future returns by decreasing customerinventory in the channel and to ship products with increased shelf-life towholesalers by improving product production planning. The Company believesthe increase in gross prescription sales in the Third Quarter of 2007 comparedto the Second Quarter of 2007 indicates a greater portion of the currentdemand is being satisfied through current quarter sales rather than inventoryin the channel and that the implementation of the plan contributed to lowergross prescription sales in the Second Quarter of 2007 compared to those inprevious quarters. As outlined in the table below, gross prescription demandhas outpaced sales in the most recent quarters, indicating a portion of thedemand, particularly in the Second Quarter of 2007, was satisfied by inventoryin the channel rather than through new sales. Pursuant to the returns andinventory optimization plan, the Company estimates it had reduced inventory ofall products in the distribution channel from $36.4 million at December 31,2006, to $33.2 million at March 31, 2007 and to $27.4 million at June 30,2007. Although weeks of inventory on hand for the primary wholesale customerscontinued to decrease at September 30, 2007, the dollar value of inventory ofall products in the distribution channel increased from the Second Quarter of2007 to $29.3 million primarily due to sales of DECONAMINE(R) in the ThirdQuarter of 2007, which the Company previously had on backorder due to aninability to secure active ingredient. DECONAMINE(R) inventory in the channelwas $2.3 million at September 30, 2007 compared to $.1 million at June 30,2007. The following table is a comparison of the gross prescription demand,gross prescription sales, the returns provision and net sales for the lastseven quarters ($ in millions):
