It must have been a tough week. My real account is still under water. The news I was hoping for didn't materialize. There was an optimistic update on their web site though: "With the plant inspection completed, we expect to receive the inspector's written report from the FDA by the end of January. Once we have been officially apprised of the results of this inspection, we will be passing the information along to you. The completion of this important milestone on the road towards FDA approval, will be a signal towards finalization of a PENNSAID® distribution agreement for the US. We are also planning, subject to market conditions, to secure a NASDAQ listing for Dimethaid, to fully capitalize on the potential created by the launch of PENNSAID® into the important US market. The market in the US for NSAIDs is currently estimated to be in excess of $8 billion US, treating an arthritis patient population of over 40 million people. A product with the safety and efficacy of PENNSAID®, when detailed and marketed to US physicians, will offer an exciting new topical solution and a welcome relief for arthritis sufferers. In addition to the US opportunities, 2002 will see the availability of PENNSAID® into other European markets, our long-awaited launch in Canada, and the continuation of research into other products in our planned pipeline. The realization of these events will provide us with the necessary cash reserves to initiate multiple ongoing clinical trials. We have previously discussed the research we are pursuing in onychomycosis (nail fungus), and we are excited also at other potential applications, such as acne. For WF10, to supplement the important research in HIV/AIDS, we anticipate exploring areas such as oncology and other autoimmune diseases. We hope you share our enthusiasm for the opportunities we envision unfolding in 2002." I hope this bodes well in the new year. All the best of the season, and keep up the good work. regards, john
