FOCUS-US flu drug approval revives Biota
By Sonali Paul

MELBOURNE, July 28 (Reuters) - Australian research group Biota Holdings Ltd got a shot in the arm from U.S. approval for sales of its new flu drug Relenza, putting the company potentially on course for its first ever profit this year.

Biota's share price recuperated from a bad slump thanks to the nod from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, reversing most of the hammering the company took last February when an FDA advisory panel voted against recommending Relenza for approval.

Its shares closed at A$7.93 (US$5.11) after hitting a high of A$9.10 soon after the opening, the same price Biota was trading at before the knockback last February, which sent the price down to A$4.35.

THERE IS HOPE! GO SNRS!
