The Company's Chairman, D. Purohit stated, "The pharma industry within our region is still very robust and Groupe Athena is extremely well positioned to continue on our current growth track for the foreseeable future. And with the recently reported asset additions which allow us to perform more services in-house, our margins are also increasing significantly."

In other news the Company has completed their recent transition from GAAP to the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) for all future audited financials. The Company's annual report for the recent fiscal yearend on June 30, 2012 which was released on August 20, 2012 was audited using IFRS.

As was previously stated, the Indian pharmaceutical industry is increasingly focusing on exports to the United States and GATA is well positioned to help them get their products approved by the FDA for sales in the US. All of these are potential clients and the Company believes it has an advantage over competitors due to the facilities based in India, and their ability to deliver quick feedback to clients that could result in expedited order generation. With recent additions to equipment, the company will continue to take on additional contracts and continue to anticipate further growth.
