This will enable us to capitalize on the large and rapidly growing macrolide antibiotics market. Supported by our existing marketing expertise and extensive distribution channels, we are confident that this new initiative will create a meaningful growth driver in fiscal 2011 and beyond, while complementing the organic growth of our current product portfolio with widely used western style medications.
