"Figures below referring to the accounts are in $'000s". The
corrected copy follows: HAMILTON, Bermuda, Aug. 11
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CalciTech Ltd. (TSX- CLK; OTCBB- CLKTF;
Freiverkehr-XCH) announced that it has filed its annual audited
financial statements, for the year ended February 29, 2004, with
the Alberta Securities Commission, British Columbia Securities
Commission and TSX Venture Exchange. CalciTech's filings can be
electronically downloaded from http://www.sedar.com/ . Figures
below referring to the accounts are in $'000s. The accounts for the
year show a net loss of $2,244 as compared with $2,188 for the same
period to 28th February 2003. Research and development costs
expensed have decreased to $353 as compared with $719 for the
previous year. This is mainly due to movement away from the
research and development stage of the CalciTech process towards its
commercialization. The Company has also earned its first revenue
from the sale of Synthetic Calcium Carbonate ("SCC") samples, which
amounted to $51. General and administrative expenses increased from
$1,004 to $1,723 due to a number of factors such as increased audit
costs to comply with new US legislation, the increase in operating
staff at the small scale plant in Germany, and the increased
activity developing new projects around the world. Interest
expenses increased from $465 to $521. This year has been
characterised by the reaching of essential milestones towards the
commercialisation of the Company's technology. All these milestones
play an essential role towards finalising the project finance for
CalciTech's first merchant scale plant in Leuna. On the financial
front, Epsom Investment Services N.V. continued to support
CalciTech during the period and again agreed to extend its $2,500
credit facility to August 2005, with the interest rate remaining at
7.5%. CalciTech continues to develop project opportunities while
concentrating on completing all matters precedent to building our
plant in Leuna, Germany. SCC is the latest generation specialty
mineral for use as a filler pigment in paper for the rapidly
growing high-end paper market. CalciTech is entering this $5
billion growth market with special products that specifically
address the $3.5 billion coating market where PCC, so far, has
failed to make in roads. PCC dominates the $1.5 billion paper
filler market. CalciTech has developed a unique and patented
process that converts industrial lime waste into SCC and is the
only company with these capabilities. SCC has a number of unique
properties that make it superior to other products on the market
today. This press release contains forward-looking statements which
are subject to a number of contingencies and uncertainties,
including but not limited to, market acceptance for CalciTech
products, manufacturing of CalciTech products in a commercial
setting, obtaining adequate financing and construction management
for products and obtaining appropriate permits. Such
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance, and are based on numerous assumptions about future
conditions that could change. DATASOURCE: CALCITECH LTD. CONTACT:
