CalciTech would like to comment on two further issues it has been confronted with in recent weeks.

It is expected that the changes will become clear towards the end of September and the Company will then announce the impact this will have on its own application for the state guarantee (currently over 80% of the non-grant portion of its project finance). Secondly, the recent sub-prime related developments have impacted the German credit market, the result unsurprisingly being increased due diligence Research; analysis; your homework.
