Kai Lindevall, Chief Executive Officer, of the Company stated, "This is the most significant break-through to date in our business development efforts in the Asian market. We are very pleased to have been awarded these landmark studies for this major high-tech company. To be selected as a preferred provider is the best benchmark we could imagine with which to measure our success in Asia. In addition, we have recently seen a significant increase in the number of requests for proposals and are seeing signs that the market appears to be regaining some of its pre-recession vibrancy, particularly in the case of small to medium sized biopharmaceutical companies, which are a key market for the Company."
