Groupe Athena, Inc. Sets Date for First Quarter Financials Release

MUMBAI, India, Sept. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Groupe Athena, Inc. (Pink sheets GATA.PK) announced today they will release the first quarter fiscal year 2012 financials after the close of the market on Monday, October 10, 2011 in line with previously issued guidance of $12,000,000 in revenue for the current quarter.

The company also announced they are interviewing accounting firms to audit the current fiscal year financials and prepare the company for listing on the OTC Bulletin Board by the end of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 or sooner if possible.

On August 15, 2011 the company announced they have approximately $60 million in customer orders that they are currently processing, and they are expecting this number to increase in the near term.  Based on the orders in hand the company expects to be able to convert at least two thirds or approximately $40 million into revenue during the current fiscal year.

As was previously stated, the Indian pharmaceutical industry is increasingly focusing on exports to the United States and GATA is well positioned to help them get their products approved by the FDA for sales in the US. All of these are potential clients and the Company believes it has an advantage over competitors due to the facilities based in India, and their ability to deliver quick feedback to clients that could result in expedited order generation. With recent additions to equipment, the company will continue to take on additional contracts and continue to anticipate further growth.
