If we or our suppliers are unable to comply with ongoing and changing regulatory standards, sales of our products could be delayed or prevented.

Virtually all aspects of our business, including the development, testing, manufacturing, processing, quality, safety, efficacy, packaging, labeling, record-keeping, distribution, storage and advertising and promotion of our products and disposal of waste products arising from these activities, are subject to extensive regulation by federal, state and local governmental authorities in the United States, including the FDA and the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS OIG). Our business is also subject to similar and/or additional regulation in other countries. Compliance with these regulations is costly and time-consuming.

Our manufacturing facilities and procedures and those of our suppliers are subject to ongoing regulation, including periodic inspection by the FDA and other regulatory agencies. For example, manufacturers of pharmaceutical products must comply with detailed regulations governing current good manufacturing practices, including requirements relating to quality control and quality assurance. We must spend funds, time and effort in the areas of production, safety, quality control and quality assurance to ensure compliance with these regulations. We cannot assure that our manufacturing facilities or those of our suppliers will not be subject to regulatory action in the future.

Our products generally must receive appropriate regulatory clearance before they can be sold in a particular country, including the United States. We may encounter delays in the introduction of a product as a result of, among other things, insufficient or incomplete submissions to a regulatory agency for approval of a product, objections by another company with respect to our submissions for approval, new patents by other companies, patent challenges by other companies that result in a 180-day exclusivity period, and changes in regulatory policy during the period of product development or during the regulatory approval process. Regulatory agencies have the authority to revoke drug approvals previously granted and remove from the market previously approved products for various reasons, including issues related to current good manufacturing practices for that particular product or in general. We may be subject from time to time to product recalls initiated by us or by regulatory authorities. In September and October 2009, we voluntarily initiated a global recall of a total of twenty-five lots of Abraxane^® manufactured at the Grand Island, New York facility as a result of particulate matter observed in a small number of vials from the recalled lots. Delays in obtaining regulatory approvals, the revocation of a prior approval, or product recalls could impose significant costs on us and adversely affect our ability to generate revenue.

Our inability or the inability of our suppliers to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, warning letters, fines, consent decrees restricting or suspending our manufacturing operations, delay of approvals for new products, injunctions, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of sales and criminal prosecution. Any of these or other regulatory actions could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition.

We must spend funds, time and effort in the areas of production, safety, quality control and quality assurance to ensure compliance with these regulations. In late December 2006, we received a warning letter from the FDA regarding the Melrose Park facility following a periodic review of the facility earlier in the year. The FDA completed its re-inspection of the facility in September 2007. Based on that re-inspection, in October 2007, the FDA informed us that we had satisfactorily resolved the issues associated with the warning letter and began approving our pending product applications at that facility.

In late December 2006, Old Abraxis received a warning letter from the FDA regarding the Melrose Park facility following a periodic review of the facility earlier in the year. The focus of the letter was the agency’s belief that Old Abraxis needed to accelerate the implementation of certain improvements that were presented by Old Abraxis, as well as make some of the improvements more robust. The FDA completed its re-inspection of the facility in September 2007. Based on that re-inspection, in October 2007, the FDA informed us that we had satisfactorily resolved the issues associated with the warning letter and began approving New APP’s pending product applications at that facility. Prior to the receipt of the warning letter, Old Abraxis had adopted a four-year modernization plan for the Melrose Park facility with estimated minimum capital expenditures of approximately $12 million. To date, Old Abraxis has spent approximately $6.8 million under the modernization plan. The total amount of, timing of implementing and percentage of completion under the modernization plan may vary and will depend upon, among other things, our ongoing compliance with FDA and other regulatory standards, changes in equipment technology and our anticipated manufacturing capacity and utilization. Notwithstanding the fact that New APP LLC will lease the Melrose Park facility from us for a term of four or five years following the separation and related transactions, we generally will be responsible for the cost of implementing the modernization plan. We cannot assure that our manufacturing facilities or those of our suppliers will not be subject to regulatory action in the future.
