EMERYVILLE, Calif. — NovaBay Pharmaceuticals reported a net loss of $2.7 million, or $0.13 per share for the first quarter, compared with a net loss of $0.9 million, or $0.07 per share, for the first quarter of 2007, the company announced in a press release.

NovaBay's license and collaboration revenue totaled $1.5 million for the quarter, unchanged compared to revenue from last year's first quarter.
