This study was reported using a test substance purity of 90.49%. The test substance characterization was revised on 9/7/00 and the purity was determined to be 86.9%. The Sponsor requested that the results be revised based on the most recent purity analyses. The results previously presented were simply corrected by the ratio o f the two purities or a factor o f 0.9603. No attempt was made to recalculate analytical standard concentrations or measured concentrations from original raw data. As such, minor errors due to rounding may be present. Attached is the revised summary page from the final report and the most recent certificate o f analysis.

2Potassium is expected in this salt form and is therefore not considered an impurity.
3Purity by DSC is generally not applicable to materials o f low purity. N o endotherm was observed for this sample.
4Sulfiir in the sample appears to be converted to SO4 and hence detected using the
inorganic anion method conditions. The anion result agrees well with the sulfur
determination in the elemental analysis, lending confidence to this interpretation. Based
on the results, the SO4 is not considered an impurity.56

Note: The C4 and C6 values were calculated using the C4 and C6 standard calibration curves, respectively. The C5 value was calculated using the average response factors from the 0 4 and C6 standard curves. Likewise, the G7 value was calculated using the average response factors from the C6 and C8 standard curves.
