"Revenues reached a record level of $12.6 million despite the impact of the plant shut down on the second quarter results. The plant shutdown and increased research and development investments, reduced EBITDA levels for the fiscal year." stated Andre Godin, Vice-President, Administration and Finance. "We expect growth in revenue and improved Neptune operating profitability during the next fiscal year," he added.
Shareholder's Right Plan
Neptune is pleased to announce the establishment of a Shareholder Rights Plan (the "Plan"), effective May 26, 2010. The Plan will provide the Board of Directors (the "Board") and the shareholders with time to fully consider any unsolicited takeover bid for the Company without undue pressure, and to allow the Board to pursue, if appropriate, other alternatives to maximize shareholder value and to allow additional time for competing bids to emerge.
The Plan is intended to discourage coercive or unfair take-over bids and has not been adopted in response to, or in contemplation of, any specific proposal to acquire control of the Company. The Board believes that the recent economic uncertainty and its consequences on the stock markets may have created an environment where an opportunistic take-over offer could be made for Neptune. Such an offer may not be in the best interest of all shareholders. The Plan is designed to ensure that all shareholders receive equal treatment and to maximize shareholder value in the event of a take-over bid or other acquisition that could lead to a change in control of the Company. It is not intended to deter take-over proposals.
The Plan must be ratified by the shareholders at Neptune's next Annual Meeting, which is scheduled to take place on June 22, 2010. If the Plan is not approved at the meeting, it will terminate at the end of the meeting.
The Company believes that the Plan is similar to those adopted by other Canadian companies, is consistent with Canadian corporate practice and addresses guidelines for such plans set out by institutional investors. A complete copy of the Shareholder Rights Plan will be available shortly on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Fiscal Year Highlights
Production Plant
Increasing demand for Neptune's product NKO® led to a production plant capacity increase during the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Production capacity increase of 50% required a shutdown of the plant and was completed on schedule. However, the ramp up of the production took more time than initially expected and impacted Neptune second quarter financial results. Yearly production capacity of NKO® is currently above 100,000 kg. Neptune is continuously working to improve its production process and plans to increase yearly production capacity of NKO® to between 120,000 and 130,000 kg during the year. This new increase is expected to take place without production interruption and represents a minor investment financed by cash on hand. Neptune is also looking at different options in order to further increase production capacity and expect to announce its plan during the year. It is Neptune policy not to allocate equity money to real estate investments. Therefore, this further expansion should be financed primarily through grants, loans and/or partnerships.
Nutraceutical Business Development
Neptune added several new partners to its already extensive list of customers during the fiscal year. One of the most significant additions is Bayer Healthcare, which started commercialization of NKO® in the United States.1 Also, Neptune expect to penetrate the European market due to European Food Safety Authority ("EFSA") officially signing its approval of NKO® as a Novel Food and PARNUTS for commercialization in the European Union.2
Pharmaceutical Business
Acasti Pharma Inc. ("Acasti") announced promising pre-clinical results during the fiscal year, which have been presented and well received at prestigious international conferences.3 4 5 6 7 Acasti continued its progress on its pharmaceutical program for the development of CaPreTM and received positive feedback from pre-investigational new drug ("IND") and pre-clinical trial application ("CTA"), respectively, from the Food & Drug Administration ("FDA") in the United States and from Health Canada. Acasti is currently working on filling both IND and CTA submission.
Intellectual Property and Litigation
Neptune obtained a patent for prevention and/or treatment of cardiovascular diseases with krill oil in Europe without opposition.8 In accordance with Neptune's policy of defending its intellectual property, Neptune filed a suit against Aker Biomarine ASA for patent infringement in the United States.9
