Ann: Market Update, page-196

As some people will know being an absolute nerd with far to much time on my hands, I regularly checked on the Ananda professional Pharmacy Locator. I became a little bit miffed on the 22nd August when my method of checking the number of pharmacists became defunct and I was no longer able to see how many new outlets had been added. I have been frequently checking back but no joy and for the past couple of weeks the number has been static at 1992, not deterred I tried various things to try to ascertain the updated number, eureka today I found a way of doing it and happy to report that there are now 2312 listed, which if my assumption of only 60% of pharmacy outlets being listed will mean that there are now aprox 3850 pharmacy outlets. This equates to an additional 650 since the last company update and is on target to be a similar number of new outlets being added this quarter as there was last, which was 900.
