WuXi PharmaTech Announces Preliminary Third Quarter 2008 Results and Updates 200...(our internal capacity. These forward-...)

These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent only our belief regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition and other circumstances may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these forward-looking statements. Our preliminary Q3 2008 operating results may change as a result of final management review, review by outside auditors, finalization of share-based compensation expenses and closing adjustments for the quarter. Also the uncertainty in the global economy may adversely impact our business and R&D outsourcing trends; and our smaller biotech customers may continue to face funding and other spending difficulties for longer than anticipated. We may be unable to successfully expand our capabilities to meet client needs. In addition other factors that could cause our actual results to differ from what we currently anticipate include our limited operating history; failure to generate sufficient future cash flows or secure any required future financing on acceptable terms or at all; failure to retain key personnel; effective integration of products and services from AppTec; our reliance on a limited number of customers to continue to account for a high percentage of our revenues; risk of payment failure by any of our large customers, which could significantly harm our cash flows and profitability; dependency upon the continued service of our senior management and key scientific personnel and ability to retain our existing customers or expand our customer base. The financial information contained in this release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated and pro forma financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with available on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at
