The financial position also improved. Net financial debt declined by 7% compared to that at the end of 31 March 2007.

Significant 1st quarter transactions and events

ORALAIR(R) Grasses is expected to be registered in Germany shortly. An IND (investigational new drug) application is planned to be filed by next summer in the US with a view to carrying out two clinical studies in 2009 (adults and children).

The clinical development programme is progressing according to plan, in particular for ORALAIR(R) Grasses (2nd year of long-term study) and ORALAIR(R) Mites (Phase IIb/III). ORALAIR(R) Bet v 1 (birch tree) Phase 1 studies have been completed. As a result, we expect Phase II to start in 2008.
