(b) Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting This annual report does not include a report of managements assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.
Management of Old Abraxis identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting relating to the accounting for income taxes and, as a result, concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2006, March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007. Specifically, there were ineffective controls relating to procedures to reconcile the income tax accounts to supporting detail. This control deficiency resulted in material errors in the accounting for income taxes, but the errors were corrected prior to the issuance of the annual financial statements. In response to the material weakness identified, remediation steps were designed, initiated and deployed by Old Abraxis as soon as practicable throughout fiscal year 2007. Old Abraxis undertook and completed, as appropriate, testing to validate the design and operating effectiveness of its existing and newly implemented procedures and controls described above for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007. In reviewing the results from this testing, management of New APP has concluded that the internal controls related to the accounting for income taxes have been significantly improved and that the above referenced material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for income taxes has been remediated as of December 31, 2007. Management has determined that, as of December 31, 2007 other than as described above, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
