In
response to your letter which was sent to me by fax on November 23, 2005, you
will find below the detailed information as requested in your
letter.
Issue
1.
- Research and Development, page 24
In
2004
Stellar moved its manufacturing process to Dalton Pharma Services located in
Toronto, Ontario Canada. This new manufacturing facility required developing
new
process techniques and equipment which would facilitate the production of larger
batch sizes. This entailed validation of new processes to ensure consistency
in
the end product. In addition, the Company also developed new product
formulations which required further investment in processes for these new
formulations.
