Leonard S. Schwartz, Chairman, CEO, and President of Aceto, stated, "On September 8, 2006, we announced our fiscal 2006 results and discussed the status of our initiative to provide vaccines for companion animals. We stated that we expected USDA approval by the end of calendar 2006. On our corresponding conference call, in response to a question and based on misinformation we received from our European supplier, we mentioned that final animal testing had begun, with the animals being inoculated on September 2nd and 3rd. We also said we expected to file the results of testing with the USDA around October 10th - 15th." "Subsequent to the conference call, it has come to our attention that the animals had not yet been inoculated, but rather were in the process of being acclimated, the final step in the process before the inoculations. It has also come to our attention that the animal testing has to be run consecutively rather than concurrently, and therefore the results of the final testing will not be made available to the USDA until at least February 2007." Mr. Schwartz added, "We are doing everything we can to expedite the USDA approval process. We remain ready to implement our marketing program and immediately enter the market with Aceto branded product, subject to receiving USDA approval."
