The delay in these shipments was the result of the May 12, 2008 earthquakedisaster in Southwestern China. Due to the earthquake, AMDL's subsidiary JJBwas forced to delay a portion of its Q2 Domperidone orders. Consequently, theCompany's second quarter gross revenues will be approximately $5.8 million,which is still approximately a 140% increase over Q2/2007. Net earnings aftercurrency adjustments are now anticipated to be between $50,000 to $113,000.The drop in anticipated Q2 earnings was also due to lower Domperidone sales, aone-time non-reoccurring land use payment and the donation of JJB products tothe China earthquake relief efforts. The lower than anticipated Q2 sales andearnings are now fully expected to be made up in both the third and fourthquarters of 2008.
