AVANIR PHARMACEUTICALS (AVNR)

Some of you may remember this from the last webcast:

"GERALD YAKATAN: Good try. ELMER PIRUS: Yes, I spent too much time thinking of this question. GERALD YAKATAN: When I said that other people are coming out and a lot have interest in neuropathic pain, that doesn't mean that we wouldn't talk to somebody about P.B.A. or haven't been. But I think that really what I want to do is -- to be honest, make a pretty big deal out of that decision one way or the other. Because you remember, it would be a big step to move forward to commercialization. You have been an R&D company, and if you're going to become a commercialization company, there are additional skill sets that are required, there are additional things to understand and to be able to accomplish. We want to carefully sit through all of those possibilities and understand we are positioned for success, regardless of which way we go. [b}As I said, I will comment on it before the end of this quarter. I have an annual meeting coming up, that's an important milestone meeting for us. And that's before the end of the quarter. I think you can look for us to give you some guidance around that time. ELMER PIRUS: OK. Thank you very much."

IMO, there should be something coming from the company soon.

G'day, Mates.
