With these data in hand, we are now able to intensify our formal partnering process for Apo AI(Milano) in parallel to the execution of additional animal studies designed to show plaque remodeling and plaque regression. We are already engaged in discussions with several major pharmaceutical companies concerning this program," said Andrew Baum, president and chief executive officer of SemBioSys.

During the third quarter of 2007, Botaneco completed construction of its manufacturing facility and SemBioSys began to operate in two reportable segments: (i) the Biopharmaceutical, Animal Health and Nutritional Oils segment focused on the Company's lead pharmaceutical candidates, recombinant human insulin and Apo AI(Milano) and (ii) the Specialty Ingredients segment. As of October 1, 2007, Botaneco Specialty Ingredients Inc. was established as a separate legal entity, and SemBioSys' previously dormant U.S. subsidiary, SemBioSys Inc., was renamed as Botaneco Inc.
