Below is some information on the Orally Dissolved Tablet (ODT) market place. This information was taken from SCRC's 4/15/13 10-K Report. The potential here is huge (gargantuan) and SCRC is right in the middle of all of this activity. SCRC is for real. The DD provided by Celtics et al is for real. SCRC is here to stay and will compete in this market place for years to come. Don't let anyone tell you differently. Go SCRC!!! (Where is my Ambien?)

The ODT market is one of the fastest growing sectors of the drug delivery market, with industry experts projecting a 12-15% annual growth rate for the next several years. Based on upward global growth trends of the past decade, the ODT market could produce revenues of $13 billion by 2015, according to an article appearing on Pharmatech.com entitled “ODT Market to Exceed $13 Billion by 2015” by Stephanie Sutton (available at http://pharmtech.findpharma.com/pharmtech/Formulation/ODT-Market-to-Exceed-13-Billion-by-2015/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/694820 ). Growth is fueled by patient demand, with recent market studies indicating that more than half of the patients prefer ODTs to other dosage forms, according to Kaushik Deepak’s article “ Orally disintegrating tablets: An overview of melt-in-mouth technologies and techniques”, which appeared in the July 2004 edition of Tablets and Capsules magazine (pp. 30 – 35), and most consumers would ask their doctors for ODTs (70%), purchase ODTs (70%), or prefer ODTs to regular tablets or liquids (80%), according to Dave Brown’s article “Orally Disintegrating Tablets: Taste Over Speed” which appeared in September 2003 edition of Drug Delivery Technology magazine (and can be found at http://www.drugdeliverytech.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=&nm=&type=Publishing&mod=Publications%3A%3AArticle&mid=8F3A7027421841978F18BE895F87F791&tier=4&id=AF1FFE004FD14F3C9645BBE33360F7A9).

The ODT market for both the prescription ODT and over the counter ODT is highly fragmented, with many companies putting out ODT products (either OTC, prescription or both) into the market place.

Patient demand is driven by the fact that as many as 40% of Americans experience difficulty swallowing traditional tablets, even though most have no problems swallowing food or liquid. Results from a 2003 nationwide survey of 679 adults on pill-swallowing difficulties, conducted by Harris Interactive, indicated that of those who experienced difficulty swallowing pills, 14% had delayed taking doses of their medication, 8% had skipped a dose, and 4% had discontinued their medication, according to a January 2004 PR Newswire article entitled “40% of American Adults Report Experiencing Difficulty Swallowing Pills” (available at http://www.spraynswallow.com/links&Articles.html ).

Orally dissolving tablets have emerged as a patient-friendly, convenient method of administering medications. In addition to adults, the fast dissolving tablet market will prove particularly applicable to children and the elderly and anyone else who has trouble swallowing regular pills, tablets, or capsules; for example patients whose swallowing is compromised as a clinical symptom of disease. Other groups who benefit from this dosing form include the mentally ill, developmentally disabled, and uncooperative patients. ODTs can also be used in the field, for example in combat zones or for relief efforts following natural disasters, where clean sources of water may be unavailable and rapid onset of action is desirable.
