AMDL Inc.'s JJB Plant Receives Production Approval From Chinese State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA)

Posted on: Friday, 8 May 2009, 08:30 CDT

TUSTIN, Calif., May 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AMDL Inc. (NYSE Alternext US: ADL), a US-based pharmaceutical company with major operations in China, announced today its JJB wholly foreign-owned subsidiary located in Shangrao, Jiangxi Province, China has received approval from the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) to re-initiate product production on its small injectable manufacturing line which is specifically used to produce the Goodnak(R) anti-aging injectable product and other small volume parenteral solutions.

The SFDA requires all China-based companies engaged in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products to have "Good Manufacturing Practices" (GMP) certification. In Q108, JJB's GMP certification expired and the Company initiated $1.5 million in plant renovations to bring the facility and its operations into compliance with the SFDA. With today's announcement, JJB has reopened the Jiangxi-based plant and resumed operations for its small injectable manufacturing line.

According to Mr. Douglas MacLellan, Chairman and CEO of AMDL, "Based on the pending renewal of our GMP-certification for the JJB plant we anticipated a temporary cease in operations at JJB and planned accordingly by successfully amounting adequate product supply to meet distributor demand through SFDA approval. The manufacturing lines at this facility have resumed operations and we remain on track with our quarterly and fiscal year business and financial projections."
